Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"Oh? Is that so? These four young ladies don't seem like the kind of people who come here to cause trouble, do they?" The shop's guards walked up to Ye Liuyun and his companions, observing them with interest.

Upon seeing this, the shop owner immediately reprimanded him.

"Don't let their looks cloud your judgment. Women are just pretty faces and skeletons. You'll understand when you're older."

"I'll ask you one more time, are you going to buy or not?" After reprimanding the four guards, the shopkeeper looked at Ye Liuyun and his companions with a threatening gaze once again.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue are not easily intimidated. Besides, although Lin Aoxue, Yan Yu, and the others have not yet entered the sect, they can already be confirmed as direct disciples of the Supreme Response Sect. They are not without the ability to cause trouble.

Since the other party is relentless, they have nothing to be afraid of.

"Eldest sister, second sister, you see? Sometimes, you can't be too kind or afraid of trouble. You'll be cultivating in places like this in the future, so you can't just hide from trouble every time you encounter it, can you?" Ye Liuyun said helplessly.

Yan Yu and Chen Yao exchanged a glance, then nodded simultaneously, their eyes turning dangerous.

As for Lin Aoxue, she remained silent throughout. Whenever Ye Liuyun made a move, she would follow suit, regardless of who the other party was; she would strike first and ask questions later.

Ye Liuyun then gave the shop owner another sweet smile.

"I'm not buying it, what can you do about it?" Ye Liuyun asked with a grin.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun and his three companions were so assertive, the shop owner suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Oh, so tough, huh? Well then, there's nothing more to say. Don't blame us for being ruthless." The four of them said as they walked towards Ye Liuyun and his group of four.

The four of them were all at the Nascent Soul stage, while the strongest among Ye Liuyun and his group was only at the Core Formation stage. Naturally, they didn't take them seriously, and even if there were Nascent Soul cultivators, they weren't afraid.

In their eyes, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Southern Region were relatively weak.

As soon as they started to act, a series of strong magical fluctuations emanated from the shop. However, the shops here were all reinforced by formations, so even if someone from the Four Extremes Secret Realm were to act inside, it would be difficult to destroy the buildings.

But there was definitely some commotion. First, there were sounds of fighting, then crackling sounds, and finally, the shop lights went out and the door opened again.

The cultivators passing by only glanced at it with some doubt, but did not go up to investigate.

"That's it? I thought the cultivators of the Supreme Response Sect were so powerful, but it turns out they're only good for this. Let's go, what bad luck." Ye Liuyun and the other three strolled out, and Yan Yu even closed the door behind him.

Looking inside, the once exquisite shop had been reduced to rubble, with the shop owner and four other guards lying haphazardly in various parts of the shop.

The shop owner is the worst off; his face is unrecognizable.

"Oh dear, what's wrong with these four women? How are they so powerful? Senior Brother Tao, you miscalculated. It's over. How are we going to explain this to the steward tomorrow?" One of the guards struggled to his feet.

"How would I know? These women are so monstrous. They might even be the ones who cleared the sixth level. How despicable! But even so, they haven't joined the Supreme Response Sect yet, and they dare to be so arrogant. This stinky woman in red even slapped my face. I'm not finished with her!" The shopkeeper said angrily, touching his swollen face.

However, they dared not report it to the law enforcement disciples, because if an investigation were launched, they would be the ones to suffer, not Ye Liuyun.

Because once you activate the shop's protective array and lock people inside, you can simply say what you want to do, and they'll be speechless. This kind of thing will only cause trouble for your own people.

Looking at Ye Liuyun and his group of four, they didn't blindly enter any shop. They first looked around to see which shop had a good atmosphere.

"Hey? Third Sister, do you think the shop owner might send someone to retaliate against us for doing this?" Yan Yu asked with some concern.

"Oh, big sister, we've already fought, what's there to be afraid of? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. At worst, the three of you can just reveal your identities. I don't believe they'll dare to cause any more trouble." Ye Liuyun said nonchalantly.

"Liu Yun is right, we didn't strike first," Lin Aoxue said.

Neither of them is afraid of trouble, but Yan Yu and Chen Yao are both naturally low-key, so they need to get used to this kind of uninhibited behavior.

As Ye Liuyun walked, he suddenly smelled a strong aroma of medicinal herbs. He figured there must be a shop selling medicinal herbs ahead. Compared to treasures, Ye Liuyun preferred medicinal herbs.

"Hey, eldest sister, second sister, here's two hundred million spirit stones. You can spend whatever you want. I'm not very interested in treasures, but I am interested in medicinal herbs. It seems that the shops ahead all sell medicinal herbs. I'll go look at the herbs first. Aoxue, you accompany eldest sister and second sister to buy treasures." Ye Liuyun gestured.

Lin Aoxue nodded.

"Huh? Two hundred million spirit stones? My god, Third Sister, just how rich are you?" Yan Yu and Chen Yao were shocked when they received the storage ring full of spirit stones.

"Hehe, I have as many as you want. Anyway, I'm not short of spirit stones. Alright, I'm going over now. If the people from that shop have brought help, just attack them. Don't worry about where you are. Just fight first. I'll come over as soon as I hear the commotion." Ye Liuyun said with a smile and left.

Lin Aoxue and the other two looked at Ye Liuyun's nonchalant attitude with different expressions.

"Hey, little sister, has Third Sister always been like this? I feel like she's a bit indifferent and fearless," Chen Yao asked, puzzled.

Yan Yu nodded in agreement; she also felt that Ye Liuyun's personality was a bit outrageous.

"Sigh! All I can say is that she definitely wasn't like this before she became a woman. When she was still a man, she was timid, afraid of trouble, introverted, and didn't like to talk," Lin Aoxue said.

Yan Yu was taken aback.

"No way? Her personality changed so much after the gender was changed? Do you think this has anything to do with her being afraid of trouble and timid?" Yan Yu complained.

Lin Aoxue shook her head. She couldn't explain why. She personally felt that perhaps Ye Liuyun's immortality had changed her personality. If it was just a change of gender, it shouldn't be that serious.

"Alright, let's ignore her and go shopping. We only have one day left," Lin Aoxue suggested.

Ye Liuyun then arrived at a shop selling medicinal herbs. The variety of herbs there was dazzling, just like a vegetable market.

"Wow! So many kinds! It feels like a vegetable market!" Ye Liuyun felt like he had entered a paradise of medicinal herbs.

It would be absolutely impossible to see so many different kinds of low-grade medicinal herbs all at once in the Southern Region, like cabbages.

To be honest, this is a place that sells white and green-grade medicinal herbs. These things are practically as cheap as cabbage in a herbal medicine shop.

"Hello, fellow Daoist, I'll take all of these medicinal herbs." After looking at the types of herbs, Ye Liuyun cleared them out without saying a word.

The owner of the herbal medicine shop was stunned; the other party was a female cultivator.

"Oh? Young lady, you mean you want all these medicinal herbs?" The shop owner quickly came over and asked.

“Great! I want both the white and green levels of your shop. You can give me a breakdown of the prices.” Ye Liuyun said with an air of generosity.

Why did Ye Liuyun want them all? It's because the variety of low-grade medicinal herbs here is simply too abundant, far exceeding the variety she had seen in the Southern Region.

If she buys these things, she can synthesize more different pills with different effects when she has time.

"Huh? Young lady, are you sure you want them all?" The female shop owner was full of doubt, feeling that Ye Liuyun was joking.

Ye Liuyun didn't waste any words and directly took out a card and waved it in front of the shop owner.

"This? A Diamond VIP Card? No problem, no problem, I'll pack it up for you right away." The female shop owner immediately stopped doubting when she saw the card. It was no joke; there weren't many people in the entire Northern Region who possessed a Northern Region Diamond VIP Card.

Ye Liuyun's card is entirely based on financial resources.

By the way, what they put out are just display items; the "package deal" means buying all of their inventory.

"You guys pack the low-grade herbs first. I'll take a look at the blue-grade herbs in your shop. I'll pick the blue-grade herbs that I don't have. Don't worry about me. Just call me when you're done packing," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

The female shop owner was very happy. She then called over the other cultivators in the shop to help pack the items, while she led Ye Liuyun to look at the higher-grade medicinal herbs.

Ye Liuyun would buy anything he didn't have without hesitation.

After finishing packing up at this shop, Ye Liuyun went to the next shop to shop again. The herbal medicine shops here were really interesting; they sold almost all different kinds of low-grade herbs.

"Huh? What's going on? You're not selling any of these medicinal herbs anymore? Why are you putting them all away?" Some of the Taishang Ganying Sect cultivators who wanted to buy low-grade medicinal herbs were puzzled.

Low-grade medicinal materials are widely used, especially white-grade ones. Normal medicine making requires a variety of ingredients, and most of these ingredients come from white-grade and green-grade medicinal materials.

Ye Liuyun's method of purchasing medicinal herbs in bulk will definitely disrupt market order.

"They're all sold out, sorry. If you want to buy low-level materials, I suggest you go check out the front. You'd better hurry," the shop owner kindly reminded them.

As soon as they left, they rushed to check on the other shops, but found that all the low-grade medicinal herbs in every shop had been bought up.

"Are you kidding me? How come every shop has sold out of low-grade medicinal herbs? If this keeps up, we'll have to go to Tianyi City to buy them if we want to refine pills. The herbs there are much more expensive than the ones here." Some disciples of the Taishang Ganying Sect began to get agitated.

These people quickly caught up with Ye Liuyun. After Ye Liuyun emptied the eighth shop, he was stopped.

"Hey! Did you buy all the low-grade medicinal herbs from these shops?" Ye Liuyun was stopped by a group of people from the Taishang Ganying Sect as soon as he finished trading with the shop owner.

Ye Liuyun was initially very excited, after all, discovering so many new medicinal herbs would keep her entertained for a long time.

"Really? Is there a problem?" Ye Liuyun looked at the group of people and then asked in return.

"Is there a problem? Do you know that the herbal medicine shops of our Taishang Ganying Sect are the main source of our daily needs? Moreover, these shops specialize in selling one type of common herb. You bought all these low-grade herbs? What are we supposed to use then?" a female cultivator angrily questioned.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback. She certainly didn't know about this, but she had also been wondering why the low-grade medicinal herbs in these shops were all different. It turned out that it was all arranged to balance the medicinal herb market.

"Oh, is that so? Then may I ask, is there a rule that I can't buy all the medicinal herbs?" Ye Liuyun asked in return.

These words immediately left the cultivators, who were in dire need of specific medicinal herbs, speechless.

"You? You don't follow these rules, but why are you buying so many low-grade medicinal herbs? Do you really need so many?" another cultivator questioned.

Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes.

"Excuse me, I have a peculiar hobby: collecting different kinds of medicinal herbs. When I see these herbs, I just want to buy them all. Besides, I'm buying them, not stealing them. Excuse me, please make way, there are several other shops ahead," Ye Liuyun said rudely.

Upon hearing this, some cultivators who wanted to buy materials were so frightened that they hurriedly ran to the shop in front.

In no time, other herbal medicine shops were packed with people. They had no choice but to accept Ye Liuyun's attitude; he really wanted to buy all the low-grade herbs.

As for the medicinal herbs that Ye Liuyun had already bought up, now only Ye Liuyun had them. They had two choices: either go to Tianyi City to buy expensive medicinal herbs, or wait for a while until the next batch of medicinal herbs in the Taishang Ganying Sect's medicinal fields matured.

But this often takes several months.

Ye Liuyun bought up all the medicinal herbs that other shops needed for several months in one go, not just a little bit.

"Hey? What are you doing? Let me in." Ye Liuyun was anxious. She didn't expect these people to suddenly try to take her medicinal herbs from her, and she was blocked outside and couldn't get in.

This caused chaos at the medicinal herb market.

"Don't worry, we have plenty of stock. What's wrong with you?" The other shop owners were all confused.

Looking at Lin Aoxue and her two companions, they were selecting treasures. This shop selling treasures belonged to the Weapon Peak, so their service was quite good.

Especially after Yan Yu and his group purchased several magical artifacts, their attitude became even more exceptionally good.

But then trouble struck them.

"They're here now. They've finally found you few. Trying to cause trouble in our faction's shops? You're tired of living, aren't you?" The newcomer was a fellow member of the faction to which the shop owner surnamed Tao belonged.

Just as Lin Aoxue and her group finished shopping and were about to leave, trouble struck.

"Sigh! As expected, trouble has come again," Yan Yu said weakly.

The shop owner glanced at the menacing-looking people at the entrance, then at Lin Aoxue and her two companions. He knew at a glance that they had come to see them.

"Crimson Fire Peak, what do you want?" The shopkeeper stepped forward and asked with displeasure.

These troublemakers didn't immediately make a move. This was a shop belonging to Qifeng, which held a high position within the Taishang Ganying Sect. They were not people that Chihuo Peak could afford to offend, so they didn't intend to take action here.

"Oh, this junior brother from Qifeng, we're here to find these three. Not long ago, these three caused trouble at our Crimson Fire Peak's shop, injured our disciples, and smashed the shop to pieces. Junior Brother Tao, it's them, right?" The leader of Crimson Fire Peak was a high-level disciple, a half-step Four Extremes Secret Realm cultivator with a very high cultivation level.

The five people who had just been beaten up by Ye Liuyun and his group were also in the group. They quickly came in and pointed out Lin Aoxue and the other two.

"It's those three, four people in total. There's one more who isn't here," the man surnamed Tao said angrily, covering his face, which was still not completely swollen.

The shop owner was stunned. He immediately looked at Lin Aoxue and her two companions. These outsiders dared to cause trouble in their Supreme Induction Sect. He didn't know where these people got their confidence.

However, this man was not an idiot. He knew that some factions of shops often secretly bullied their fellow members. If such a big thing really happened in the market, he couldn't possibly not have heard about it. The only possibility was...

After the conflict, the shop owner activated a magic formation, trapping the people inside. However, it seems that the shop's side suffered the loss.

Furthermore, if Lin Aoxue and her group really caused trouble first, then the law enforcement disciples should have come. Why were their faction disciples the ones who arrived?

So the result is obvious: the Crimson Fire Peak members started the trouble, got beaten up in return, and then, not satisfied, called in disciples from the same faction to settle scores. This kind of thing is all too common among the various factions of the Supreme Response Sect.

"Hmph! Senior brother, if these three guests really are causing trouble, shouldn't it be the law enforcement disciples who should be arresting them? It's against the rules for your faction's disciples to come and arrest people, let alone come to my Weapon Peak's shop to arrest them." The cultivators of Weapon Peak are not so easily fooled.

The disciples of Crimson Fire Peak were embarrassed upon hearing this.

“Junior brother, everyone knows what’s going on. We’re from the same sect, we can’t let outsiders lose face, can we?” The senior disciple from Crimson Fire Peak chuckled.

These words made the disciple of Qifeng fall into deep thought, but just as he was thinking, Lin Aoxue snorted coldly.

"Hmph! The villain is the one who accuses first. Sure enough, there are scoundrels everywhere. Shopkeeper, you don't need to worry too much. We won't make things difficult for you. Eldest sister, second sister, let's go out." Lin Aoxue snorted coldly and then walked directly towards the door.

The members of Crimson Fire Peak were naturally happy to see this outcome, and they would never make a move in the Weapon Peak shop.

"Heh? They really are incredibly audacious and arrogant." The disciples of Crimson Fire Peak became even more furious.

The people at the Qifeng store were in a bit of a dilemma.

"Hey, senior brother, shouldn't we do something about this? That's not appropriate, is it?" a shop assistant asked.

"We don't know what's going on, let's take a look first. These three girls should be disciples who have passed the six trials of the Nanling Grand Gathering. They seem to have low cultivation levels, but whether these people can defeat the three of them is still unknown." The shopkeeper's eyesight is quite sharp.

And so, the three of them arrived on the street, where the dozen or so members of Crimson Fire Peak immediately surrounded them.

"Let's go, come with us to another place," a senior disciple of Crimson Fire Peak commanded.

But Lin Aoxue crossed her arms and asked with a disdainful look.

"Why should we go with you? If you tell me to leave, I'll just leave. Wouldn't that make me lose face?"
