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

"Why are they all dead? You old hag, you're lying, aren't you?" Ye Liuyun said, his lips twitching.

But as soon as the words "Old hag Ye Liuyun" were uttered, Lin Qingyou lashed out with a heavy whip.

"Ouch, why did you hit me?" Ye Liuyun cried out in pain, clutching his buttocks.

“Call me Master. I told you, if you call me an old hag again, I’ll beat you every time. As for the pills, they’re definitely not for humans. They’re probably too potent for ordinary wild animals to handle. Doesn’t your Cloud Mist Sect have a spirit beast garden? You could try the pills on those spirit beasts,” Lin Qingyou suggested.

"Huh? This? If I poison those spirit beasts to death, I'll be in big trouble. These aren't wild animals. Let's forget about it and talk about it another time." Ye Liuyun shook his head and gave up on the plan.

She found a spot, dug a hole, and buried all the dead animals in it.

"I'm sorry, don't blame me, I had no choice." Ye Liuyun looked at the buried animal carcasses and said somewhat apologetically. After saying that, she left and went back.

Unfortunately, none of these pills showed any effect, so they had to be disposed of as waste pills for the time being.

"Oh, right, Master, there are a few more pills. You said these pills aren't for living beings. What do you mean?" Ye Liuyun produced a few bright red pills in his hand.

Lin Qingyou immediately explained.

"The so-called living beings refer to wild animals, insects, fish, and all living beings that show signs of activity. But there is another kind of life, such as flowers, grass, and trees. They also have life, but their life is a static life. These kinds of pills all carry a strong aura of primal life."

"The most primitive life in this world consists of flowers, grasses, and trees, so these kinds of elixirs are suitable for use on flowers, grasses, and trees, but they need to be dissolved in water before use."

After listening to Lin Qingyou's explanation, Ye Liuyun basically understood.

"Oh? Is that so? That's perfect. Didn't I plant a spirit peach tree? I'll go back and try it on the spirit peach tree." Ye Liuyun chuckled and then went back.

Upon returning to his residence, Ye Liuyun immediately found a large porcelain bottle, filled it with water, and then crushed one of the pills and dissolved it in the water. As soon as the pill dissolved in the water, the water quickly turned a clear, green color.

A rich, refreshing fragrance wafted out from inside.

"It smells so good, I want to take a sip and try it." Ye Liuyun subconsciously licked her lips as she looked at the emerald green liquid in the bottle.

Unfortunately, she had tried this stuff before and it didn't work, so drinking it would be a waste of time.

Ye Liuyun walked to the spirit peach tree he had planted.

"Hehe, little peach tree, come here, let me add some fertilizer for you." Ye Liuyun poured the emerald green liquid directly onto the spirit peach tree.

After being poured out, the liquid was quickly absorbed by the spirit peach tree, and not a single drop was wasted.

And it took effect very quickly. The spirit peach tree began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. Originally only a little over a meter tall, it quickly grew to three meters tall and as thick as an adult's wrist.

"This? Could this be the legendary growth-promoting fluid?"

After her initial surprise, Ye Liuyun was overjoyed, because if she planted the medicinal herbs herself and then watered them with this medicinal liquid, wouldn't they mature very quickly?

"This stuff is amazing! It accelerated the growth rate of these peach trees by several years in one go, and it's much more effective than common growth promoters," Lin Qingyou said.

Of course, there are other medicines like this in the alchemy world, but none are as effective as Ye Liuyun's.

Chapter 58 The Mutant Peach Tree

This peach tree grew from one year old to three years old in one go, but it did not flower or bear fruit, probably because the season was not right.

"Let's call this pill the Growth-Promoting Pill. Next, let's try some others." Ye Liuyun felt that this pill, which was effective for plants, was much more interesting than other pills, and it had a flavor of Earth's biotechnology.

If Ye Liuyun were to return to Earth with these alchemy techniques, she would surely become a biologist and pharmacologist, wouldn't she?

The second pill was a little strange, because it was a multicolored pill, like several pigments mixed together.

When this elixir dissolves in water, the liquid becomes a kaleidoscope of colors, creating a vibrant and visually striking effect.

"Is this really medicine? It feels strange, I have absolutely no desire to drink it," Ye Liuyun said, looking at the medicine in the bottle with a strange expression.

After speaking, she poured the medicinal liquid onto the spirit peach tree and then took a few steps back. This time, the medicinal liquid did not seem to have a fertility-promoting effect, but soon, an even more bizarre effect than the fertility-promoting pill appeared.

The leaves of the spirit peach tree began to change like a carousel, gradually turning from green to red, and then from red to blue, constantly switching between various colors.

"What does this mean? Is this just changing the color of the leaves?" Ye Liuyun wondered.

Lin Qingyou also looked at the color-changing spirit peach tree with curiosity. Through her divine sense, she discovered that it was not only the leaves of the spirit peach tree that were changing, but everything inside the tree was also changing.

Plants, like wild animals, also have bloodlines, but their bloodlines are more abstract. Among peach trees, the highest-ranking is the Pan Peach Tree, which is a spiritual plant of heaven and earth. Lin Qingyou saw it when she was in the Immortal Realm. Eating one of those peaches can directly grant an immortal thousands of years of cultivation.

Don't think that the journey of a cultivator to the Immortal Realm is the end; in reality, it's far from over.

Mortals all dream of becoming immortals, but once you become an immortal, you'll realize just how high the heavens are. For immortals, the celestial realm is just the beginning.

"It's really strange. Although my alchemy skills can indeed fuse various medicinal materials at will, I have never tried it myself. Can these strange and special pills really be produced?" Lin Qingyou herself couldn't figure out the pills that Ye Liuyun had synthesized.

She was a proper alchemist. Although she had created some pills herself, the pills she created were actually very similar to regular pills and were not as strange as Ye Liuyun's.

Ye Liuyun's pills are unconventional and unorthodox, a field of alchemy that Lin Qingyou has never explored. One can only say that Ye Liuyun may have pioneered a new path of alchemy.

The peach tree quickly stopped changing colors and froze at a light blue, meaning that the peach tree now had light blue leaves.

"Has it stopped? The leaves are a light blue color? Could this elixir cause plants to mutate?" After confirming that the spirit peach tree was no longer mutating, Ye Liuyun walked over, reached out and plucked a leaf, and examined it.

But in her perception, it seemed that only the color had changed, without any other changes.

"Master, do you feel there's anything special about this light blue spirit peach tree?" Ye Liuyun asked after observing it for a while.

"It seems to be a bloodline mutation. I'm not sure what the effects of a plant bloodline mutation will be. We'll probably have to wait until it grows fruit to make a judgment. But the pills you've refined are truly astonishing," Lin Qingyou praised.

Hearing this, Ye Liuyun was quite pleased with himself. To be fair, aside from the fact that the synthetic pills turned him into a woman, the random fusion and combination of medicinal materials was quite interesting.

"Hehe, let's call this pill the Mutation Pill. Let's keep trying." After Ye Liuyun finished speaking, he dissolved the remaining three pills into the water in one go, and then poured all the liquid onto the surface.

This time, the spirit peach tree did not seem to have undergone any particularly obvious changes. However, after a while, the world changed again, with thunderclouds rolling in and gales howling.

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the mutated spirit peach tree. Ye Liuyun was so frightened that he immediately hid far away to avoid being hit by the lightning.

What's even stranger is that this bolt of lightning did not destroy the spirit peach tree; on the contrary, the spirit peach tree absorbed the power of the lightning.

"Boom, boom..." Thunderbolts continued to fall, and this scene made the disciples and high-ranking members of the Yunxia Sect pay attention to the location of the falling lightning.

However, when they tried to use their divine sense to capture the lightning strike, their divine sense was as if it had been pricked by a needle, and they were forced to withdraw it immediately.

Today's thunder was different from usual; it seemed to forbid them from investigating.

"This? There's actually a force in the world preventing me from investigating? This is much stranger than what happened last time," Yun Yun said, squinting her eyes.

Unable to use their divine sense to investigate, they had no idea where the lightning had struck, only that it must have landed within the Cloud Mist Sect.

Although they were used to lightning striking every nine days, today was different.

Nine bolts of lightning struck the sky, and their power was even greater than the previous lightning tempering. If these lightning bolts had struck a cultivator, they would probably have been reduced to ashes. Fortunately, these lightning bolts were not targeted at cultivators.

After the nine bolts of lightning ended, the weather cleared up, and a purple aura accompanied by auspicious multicolored clouds filled the sky above the Cloud Mist Sect. The scene was very beautiful, but it only lasted for a minute before dissipating.

"It's over! Ah! What has happened to our Yunxia Sect all these years? I really don't know if these phenomena are a good thing or a harbinger of disaster." The disciples began to talk as they looked at the clearing sky.

"Go check where in the sect the lightning struck just now," Yun Yun's voice suddenly rang out throughout the entire sect.

Unfortunately, they certainly couldn't tell, because the spirit peach tree in Ye Liuyun's courtyard had disappeared, or rather, it had been destroyed by heavenly lightning, leaving only a black stump.

"What? Eh? Master, what's going on? How did it get destroyed by the heavenly lightning? Did I use too much medicine?" Ye Liuyun said awkwardly, looking at the smoking tree stump.

Lin Qingyou took a closer look, then smiled knowingly.

"No, it just needs to be reborn. When it grows back, you'll know what effect your medicine had on it," Lin Qingyou said.

Ye Liuyun nodded; she suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for the changes that would occur after the spirit peach tree was reborn.

All the tests have been done, and now we can see the results. At present, Ye Liuyun and Lin Qingyou are both unsure how these pills have changed the spirit peach tree.

The disciples of Yunxia Sect searched around as Yun Yun had instructed, but they found nothing that had been struck by lightning. There was no large area of ​​charred blackening in Ye Liuyun's courtyard, only a blackened tree stump.

Upon hearing Yun Yun's voice, Ye Liuyun immediately hid in her residence. She could reveal her talent for alchemy, but she certainly couldn't admit to or expose these strange and unusual things.

After all, the various strange phenomena that occurred during her alchemy practice caused considerable trouble for the sect.

As night fell and the moon rose over the mountain, a sudden movement occurred in the pit on the back hill where the small animal carcasses were buried.

Chapter 59 Animal Sightseeing Tour

The next day, another inexplicable thing happened within the Yunxia Sect. A little rabbit appeared in the Yunxia Sect disciples' market. The little rabbit hopped around, seemingly unafraid of people. It looked here and there, attracting the attention of many disciples.

"A rabbit? How did it get into the sect? Did it come down from the back mountain?" someone asked, looking at the hopping rabbit with a puzzled expression.

“It’s not just rabbits, look, there’s a monkey on the roof, and a fox over there.” Some disciples also spotted other small animals.

In fact, it wasn't just these small animals. The sect disciples who were cultivating in the back mountain also saw tigers and wolves. These wild beasts frequently appeared in various parts of the back mountain. You should know that under normal circumstances, wild beasts would have run far away when they saw cultivators. How could they dare to approach?

However, since they did not attack the cultivators, no disciples bothered with them.

After all, the path of immortality has unified rules, and one cannot wantonly kill innocent living beings in this world.

"Junior Sister Yang, your senior brother really likes you. When can we become Daoist partners and fly together as one?"

“Senior Brother Zhou, once we break through to the Dao Palace realm, we’ll apply to the sect to become Dao partners. Then we can travel the cultivation world together and become a pair of immortal couples.”

Just as the people in the market were wondering how these animals had gotten into the sect, they suddenly heard a series of very clear conversations.

The voices sounded like a man and a woman, suggesting a secret rendezvous and an affair.

Moreover, many people felt that the sound was somewhat familiar, and the owner of the sound was somewhat familiar. However, when they looked in the direction of the sound, they found that the sound was not coming from the mouths of a man and a woman, but from the mouths of a pair of ordinary little birds.

These are a pair of common birds, somewhat like magpies, a male and a female, standing atop the statue of the founder of the Yunxia Sect, communicating in human language.

"Huh? This? This bird can talk? No way, it's become a spirit?" The disciples were all stunned to hear the birds speak human language.

"My goodness, what strange thing is this? And, Junior Sister Yang, Senior Brother Zhou? Hey, do you know who they are?" The disciples were puzzled.

But soon they realized who the talking birds were talking about.

In the distance, a young man, his face flushed red, was attacking the pair of strange birds at incredible speed.

"You two stinky birds, shut up!" the young man said angrily.

However, his attack missed. The two strange birds immediately took flight at great speed, continuing to converse in a male-female voice as they flew.

Moreover, the voice of the male bird was extremely similar to that of the inner disciple who had rushed over.

This is just the male bird seemingly mimicking the young man's speech.

"Isn't this Junior Brother Zhou Jun? Oh, I see, the Senior Brother Zhou that these strange birds are talking about must be Zhou Jun. Then I know who Junior Sister Yang is, it's Junior Sister Yang Yan. No way, they're actually a couple?" Some inner disciples quickly realized who the two people the strange birds were talking about were.

Moreover, the two strange birds were imitating Zhou Jun and Yang Yan's speech.

"Shut up, you two stinky birds! Shut up and don't say another word!" Zhou Jun's face turned ashen with anger.

He overheard someone saying what he had said to his crush the night before in front of everyone.

This is a very private matter, and I certainly can't let others know about it casually. The key point is that these two stinky birds were talking and imitating their tone of voice and their intimate behavior last night.

The two strange birds sounded exactly like Zhou Jun and Yang Yan, making it difficult for them to pretend they didn't know.

Soon after, the female disciple named Yang Yan, also furious, chased after them from another direction. The two of them chased the pair of strange birds out of the Yunxia Sect, creating a comical scene.

But isn't this just admitting it without being asked? Now all the disciples in the sect know they are a couple.

Of course, the Yunxia Sect does not completely forbid disciples from dating, but it must be done in moderation and cannot be done openly.

Besides, this world isn't as open as Earth. Love is a very private matter, no less intimate than a couple's wedding night being watched by outsiders, which is why they were so furious.

"Third Senior Brother, how do you discipline your disciple? How dare you call my disciple to the back mountain for a secret rendezvous in the middle of the night? What kind of behavior is this?" In the main hall of the sect, Fourth Elder Yun Yue glared angrily at Yun Hui.

Because Zhou Jun was one of their disciples, for them as masters, having this kind of thing made public was tantamount to their own children cheating on them.

"What? Junior Sister, this is unreasonable. How can you blame me for this?" Yun Hui was speechless.

"It's not your fault, it's mine! Your disciple seduced my disciple, and now the entire sect knows. They'll all think I, Yunyue, have failed in my teaching. I... I'm furious!" Yunyue said, then snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"Hey? Senior Sister, please help me judge this! Can you blame me for this? Besides, the sect doesn't completely forbid disciples from dating, so why are you so angry?" Yun Hui quickly looked at Yun Yun.

But what does Yunyun think of this matter? She quickly changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about that for now. What's going on with these two strange birds? Have they become demons? They don't seem to have any demonic aura, but how can they talk? And they're even mimicking human speech. They're also incredibly fast; even two disciples at the Spirit Sea Realm can't catch up with them." Yun Yun fell into deep thought.

Compared to these trivial matters, she was more interested in figuring out why so many small animals had suddenly appeared in the sect. Under her divine sense, she discovered that there were quite a few small animals wandering around the sect.

"Speaking of which, could this be caused by yesterday's lightning?" Yun Hui immediately connected this matter with yesterday's strange events.

Yun Yun thought about it and felt it was possible.

"Go and catch those little things to take a look and see what's going on." Yun Yun said and flew away.

She appeared before the two strange birds at lightning speed, and with a casual grab, the two birds were immobilized.

"Sect Master." The two disciples who were chasing the strange male and female birds immediately felt embarrassed when they saw Yun Yun.

Once the male and female birds were captured, they immediately stopped mimicking speech and began to make struggling, squeaking noises like ordinary birds.
