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

After saying that, the five of them immediately left the ground and jumped up.

After they were lifted off the ground, a rat-like monster emerged from the collapsed area.

This rat monster had a single horn on its head, and stared at Ye Liuyun and his companions with its scarlet eyes filled with hatred.

"Damn humans, how dare you trespass on my territory! Die!"

The groundhog monster opened its mouth and spewed out a large number of stones, which then hurtled towards Ye Liuyun and his companions.

The monsters in the ancient forest have been quite ferocious during this period, after all, they were cleansed by the Supreme Response Sect.

The overwhelming boulders rained down on Ye Liuyun and his group. The attack covered a wide area, and Lin Aoxue and the others couldn't dodge it for a while. They could only take out their weapons to block the falling boulders.

They were resisting while retreating.

Ye Liuyun, on the other hand, was rather brainless.

"Tch, just a little rat in the mid-stage of the Dao Palace realm, courting death."

She picked up the Myriad Medicines Cauldron, braced herself against the stones, and then leaped down, smashing it down on the ground rat monster.

The groundhog monster was stunned for a moment when it saw the other party attacking it. It was a monster at the mid-stage of the Dao Palace realm, which was higher than the level of everyone in the team in front of it.

It was precisely because he thought the other party was weak that he dared to attack Ye Liuyun and his group. But now, a human being who was like an ant in his eyes was advancing instead of retreating.

"Ignorant humans." The groundhog monster sneered in human language, then pushed off the ground with all its might, its massive body leaving the ground, and charged towards Ye Liuyun with the single horn on its head.

The greatest advantage of demonic beasts is their strong physical bodies; they are resilient and capable of fighting, unlike the fragile bodies of humans.

Normal cultivators avoid physical contact when fighting demonic beasts.

However, this groundhog monster is going to have a bad day.

"Hey? Good timing! I like stubborn people. Let's see if your head is harder or my cauldron is harder. Make it bigger and bigger!" Ye Liuyun commanded the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron to grow larger.

Soon the Myriad Medicines Cauldron grew several times larger, becoming about the size of the groundhog monster's head, and finally collided directly with the Myriad Medicines Cauldron.

However, after the groundhog monster collided with the Myriad Medicines Cauldron, the groundhog monster realized its mistake.

"Crack." A cracking sound came from the groundhog monster's skull.

The next moment, the single horn on his head shattered.

"This? How is this possible?" After the groundhog monster's horn shattered, its skull also cracked, and blood flowed from its seven orifices. With an incredulous expression on its face, it was smashed down by the Myriad Medicines Cauldron and died on the spot.

After the groundhog monster died, its corpse turned into a beam of earthy yellow light and was absorbed into Ye Liuyun's bracelet.

This counts as a successful opening, and it's an opening that came to us on our own initiative.

"Oh dear, sorry, sorry, I'll start now." Ye Liuyun glanced at the bracelet with a smile and then said with a chuckle.

Li Hanyu was stunned by what she saw. This was the first time she had ever seen Ye Liuyun defeat a mid-stage Dao Palace demon beast with the cultivation of the Spirit Stream Realm. This was several realms higher than Ye Liuyun's, and she couldn't understand how he had done it.

"This? You killed a mid-stage Dao Palace demon beast with just one cauldron? Is that real? Sister Liuyu, how did you do that?" Li Hanyu asked incredulously.

To normal cultivators, this kind of thing is completely illogical and abnormal.

"Huh? Sister Li, you don't know that I'm a physical cultivator?" Ye Liuyun asked, looking puzzled.

Li Hanyu genuinely didn't know about this; to be precise, very few people knew about it.

“Body cultivation? Oh, no wonder. No wonder you, Sister Liuyu, have stayed in the Cloud Mist Sect for so many years without any progress in your cultivation. It turns out you are following the path of body cultivation, increasing your physical strength. Then all of this makes sense.” Li Hanyu smiled wryly.

She finally understood. It wasn't just her who was hiding her true intentions; Ye Liuyun was hiding them even better. She felt as if she were meeting Ye Liuyun for the first time.

“Yes, back in the Cloud Mist Sect, we wanted to keep a low profile, so we rarely showed our true abilities. But now, we can’t keep a low profile, so we won’t,” Ye Liuyun replied.

Li Hanyu thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

“That makes sense, but I suddenly feel that it might be difficult for the few of us to hunt monsters together?” Li Hanyu had a question.

Judging from Ye Liuyun's situation, his combat strength is not bad. If he hunts monsters alone, he will definitely be more efficient than a group of people.

"Haha, don't worry, you'll see soon enough what it means to have an endless supply of monsters. I'm looking for a suitable place." Ye Liuyun smiled mysteriously.

Li Hanyu glanced at Liao Xue and the other two, and seeing that they all looked calm and seemed to trust Ye Liuyun, she didn't say anything more.

So they continued forward with Ye Liuyun, and stopped when Ye Liuyun was about 100,000 meters away from the teleportation array.

"Alright, this is fine. I think it's about right. Let's start setting up the traps. You guys listen to my explanation in detail," Ye Liuyun said.

The four of them quickly came over. Ye Liuyun first took out a bunch of pills. These pills were for setting traps, mainly electric shock pills, smoke pills and other pills that could control the enemy's movements.

Many of these pills were new to Yan Yu and the others, let alone Li Hanyu.

"These pills, could they all be the strange pills you used in the Cloud Mist Sect, Sister Liuyu? I didn't expect you to have so many unused ones." Li Hanyu looked at the pills in her hand with great interest.

This elixir is clearly extraordinary; its quality is excellent.

"Hehe, I have plenty of these kinds of pills, so let's not talk about them. Follow my instructions and place the pills in various parts of this area. After you've placed the pills, I'll start luring the demonic beasts to this area. Then I'll detonate the pills to trap them, and you can kill as many as you can."

Ye Liuyun explained his plan.

"Ah? Led the demon beast over? Sister Liuyu, do you have a treasure similar to the demon-attracting incense?" Li Hanyu's first reaction was to guess that Ye Liuyun had a rare treasure that could target demon beasts.

"Oh? Sister Hanyu, you are quite knowledgeable. It seems that your identity is not simple. That's right, I have a kind of pill that can lure demonic beasts. As long as the pill is detonated, it will spread a fragrance that bewitches demonic beasts over a wide area. At that time, we won't need to go looking for demonic beasts, but the demonic beasts will come to us on their own."

Cultivators from small places like Yunxia Sect generally don't recognize the Demon-Attracting Incense. Even Yan Yu and Chen Yao had never heard of it.

Therefore, Li Hanyu's identity must be extraordinary.

“Our identities are rather sensitive right now, so it’s not suitable for us to travel around. It would be bad if we got caught,” Ye Liuyun said.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's response, Li Hanyu didn't press the matter further. After all, her relationship with Ye Liuyun wasn't close enough for her to ask him anything.

After saying that, the five of them dispersed and, at Ye Liuyun's request, set up a pill trap here. Not only that, Ye Liuyun also took out several sets of array flags with sealing effects.

After detonating the pills, use an array to trap them in an area. In that case, these demonic beasts will be like headless flies, only able to wander aimlessly in the mist.

"Interesting. Is this little girl trying to lure monsters here?" Li Bai was hiding in the shadows, but unfortunately, Ye Liuyun had already discovered him. With Lin Qingyou around, Ye Liuyun knew exactly how many cultivators were hiding nearby.

Ye Liuyun and his group were making a big move, and the Supreme Response Sect couldn't help but shift their attention to the area where they were located.

"Strange, is this a trap? There are pills and array flags. This seems to be the Seven Stars Eight Trigrams Array, a kind of array that encloses a region."

"If I'm not mistaken, these five little girls are probably planning to lure the demonic beasts here and trap them inside." Experienced cultivators can generally see through Ye Liuyun and the others' intentions.

The other powerful figures of the Supreme Response Sect all nodded.

After everything was set up, which took about half an hour, they set up a very large formation. Moreover, Ye Liuyun not only set up a sealing formation, but also some restrictive formations.

Because she didn't know how many monsters she would attract, all she could say was to set up several more barriers, just in case.

Furthermore, the five of them will definitely enter the formation to hunt monsters. If the area isn't large enough, given the scale of Yan Yu's battle, they will inevitably be affected as well.

Their formation covers an area of ​​nearly a thousand meters, which is quite large.

"That's enough, let's exit the formation's range," Ye Liuyun gestured.

The five retreated simultaneously, quickly reaching the outside of the formation. Once outside, Ye Liuyun had five Demon-Attracting Pills in his hand.

Five pills in one go, that's a lot.

"Hehe, here we go." Ye Liuyun looked at the pill in his hand, then chuckled and tossed it into the formation.

Soon after, the pill shattered, releasing a pleasant fragrance. This fragrance spread rapidly, and the hidden demonic beasts in the vicinity, upon smelling the scent, became uncontrollable and were forced to converge towards the location of the Demon-Attracting Pill.

The fragrance of this elixir spreads over a range of about 10,000 meters, meaning that any demonic beasts within a radius of 10,000 meters will converge here.

"Alright, let's wait for good news. In five minutes at most, a demon beast should be coming." Ye Liuyun leaped onto a tree branch.

Lin Aoxue and the others nodded and flew to other tree branches, waiting patiently.

Actually, this was purely Ye Liuyun leading Lin Aoxue and the others to hunt demonic beasts. If Lin Aoxue and the others hadn't been with them, Ye Liuyun could have easily trapped the demonic beasts and then used the core pills to blow them up, which would have been much more efficient.

But since I brought people along, I certainly can't eat alone.

A few minutes later, the first batch of demonic beasts arrived at the trap's range. There were only three or four demonic beasts at the early stage of the Dao Palace realm. Ye Liuyun and his group certainly wouldn't be ready to close the net.

"Interesting. This little girl also has pills similar to the Demon-Attracting Incense. This way, we don't need to search for demon beasts everywhere. We can just wait here for them to come to us." Li Bai sat on a tree branch in the distance, drinking wine while observing Ye Liuyun and the others.

However, just as her gaze was fixed on Ye Liuyun and the others, a caterpillar unfortunately fell from the tree into his wine jug.

Unfortunately, he swallowed a caterpillar along with his drink.

"Hey, ptooey, what is this?" Li Bai quickly noticed something in the wine, so he quickly spat it out. In the process, he spat out a caterpillar, which he caught with his magic.

He grabbed the little creature and brought it to his face.

Upon closer inspection, however, this little thing was quite unusual; it actually looked rather cute, staring with its two big eyes as if begging Li Bai for mercy.

This is a young fairy butterfly. Fairy butterflies are very beautiful spirit beasts. When they grow up, they can release seven-colored light and are very popular among female cultivators.

"Hey? Not bad luck, a fairy butterfly cub. Little guy, you can't blame me for this, you fed it to yourself." Li Bai chuckled, then placed it on his shoulder, preventing it from escaping.

He was just wondering what gift to give Lin Aoxue, and now this gift has arrived.

Time passed slowly, and after about ten minutes, there were already more than twenty demonic beasts within the trap's range, but the strongest of them was only at the mid-stage of the Dao Palace realm.

It can only be said that there aren't many powerful demonic beasts in their position. The mid-stage of the Dao Palace realm is already the strongest. If they want stronger demonic beasts, they have to go deeper into the Ancient Forest.

However, Ye Liuyun still didn't seem ready to close the net, which made Yan Yu and the others quite anxious. They were worried that there were too many demonic beasts and that they would be difficult to deal with. They were also unsure whether Ye Liuyun's methods could trap so many demonic beasts in one go.

But their worries were destined to be unnecessary.

Half an hour later... more than thirty demonic beasts had gathered here, and Ye Liuyun felt that was enough.

"That's about enough, explode." Ye Liuyun detonated the pill directly. The next moment, the area was engulfed by electric current and sound waves. The Dao Palace demon beasts didn't even have time to react before they were entangled by a large amount of electric current and howled in pain from the shock.

Ye Liuyun's formation was also activated at this moment. The formation locked the smoke in this area, making it impossible for the monsters to determine their direction. Even if they withstood the power of the electric shock pill and the thunderstorm pill, their combat power was suppressed by more than half.

"Let's go, take care of them quickly!" Ye Liuyun took the lead and rushed into the smoke.

Lin Aoxue followed closely behind, and Yan Yu and the others only hesitated for a moment before shooting into the formation. The dazed and confused demonic beasts had no time to react before the five of them killed them all in a short time.

These monsters are too weak. Even in their prime, they might not be able to defeat Ye Liuyun and his group, let alone in the current situation.

In less than three minutes, they dealt with all the demonic beasts. After confirming that there was no more fighting around, Ye Liuyun removed the formation, and Lin Aoxue immediately used her wind power to sweep away the smoke.

"Haha, this is too easy! Is this your idea, Sister Liuyu? I don't think it's a good choice for Senior Sister Yunxin to leave alone." Li Hanyu couldn't help but laugh.

They only need to repeat the process a few times to pass the level.

Yan Yu and Chen Yao finally understood why Ye Liuyun was so confident. If they had such a pill, they would be confident too.

"Didn't I tell you? It's very simple. Follow me, and I guarantee you'll have meat to eat," Ye Liuyun chuckled.

Li Hanyu was completely relieved. There were no more monsters in this area, so they had to move on to the next area.

However, at the same time, their troubles are about to begin, right here in the territory of the Black Tiger Demon King of Tianduan Ridge.

Several men in black robes were negotiating with the Tiger Demon King.

"Demon King, the Supreme Response Sect is currently holding its new Southern Ridge Grand Gathering in the Ancient Wood Forest. They are using your demon race as a whetstone for their trials. Are you just going to watch the Supreme Response Sect swagger around on your territory?" a black-robed man asked sinisterly.

These people are from the Rebel Immortal Alliance, so they know that what they're up to is far from over; the attack on Tianyi City is just the beginning.

Their real goal was to find an opportunity to kill the most outstanding talents of this year's Nanling Grand Gathering, because these disciples were destined to join the Taishang Ganying Sect.

"The Rebellious Immortal Alliance, heh heh, what are you planning to do by using me to help you deal with the Supreme Response Sect? Do you think I'm that stupid?" The Black Tiger Demon King, dressed in a black dress, chuckled as he drank some kind of red liquid.

“Although we are human, we share a common enemy with you, Demon King. The Supreme Response Sect has been swaggering around Tianduan Ridge for years. Do you really have no intention of dealing with them at all?” the powerful member of the Reverse Immortal Alliance continued.

The Black Tiger Demon King didn't say that she harbored no hatred towards the Supreme Response Sect, but simply didn't know how to deal with it.

She knew about the ancient forest, but it was guarded by many powerful figures, so even if she went there in person, she wouldn't be able to win their favor.

"Hmph! It's easy to say. If your Reverse Immortal Alliance had a solution, why would you need to join forces with our demon race? Stop beating around the bush and tell me your plan. If possible, I wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson." The Black Tiger Demon King didn't want to play games with the Reverse Immortal Alliance anymore.

The members of the Reverse Immortal Alliance laughed when they saw that the Black Tiger Demon King had agreed. He stretched out a hand from his black robe, holding a bronze palace in his hand.

"This item is called the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons. It is a damaged low-grade Heaven-rank magic treasure, belonging to the space-type magic treasure. It has its own space inside. This treasure has lost too much power and can only be used once. As long as this item is activated in the Ancient Forest, it can drag a large area into the independent space."

"The Demon King only needs to find a way to send the treasure into the Ancient Forest," explained the cultivator from the Reverse Immortal Alliance.

The Black Tiger Demon King was startled.

"This? Where did you get this Heaven-Rank magic treasure?"

Although it can only be used once, it is still quite surprising. This is a Heaven-rank magic treasure, and only the Supreme Response Sect in the entire Southern Ridge possesses it.

"Demon King, you needn't worry about that. We are humans and cannot approach the Ancient Forest, but you demons are different. The Ancient Forest belongs to the Heavenly Ridge. Even if demons enter, unless they are particularly powerful, they should not be noticed," explained the expert from the Reverse Immortal Alliance.

Upon hearing this, the Black Tiger Demon King immediately burst into laughter, a laugh of excitement.

The members of the Reverse Immortal Alliance smiled even more sinisterly.
