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

"Oh my god! Damn, why are the women's skirts so long?"

Ye Liuyun cursed under her breath, then quickly got up, lifted her skirt, and ran as fast as she could towards a certain part of the town.

In the end, he spent money to buy a horse and fled.

Ye Liuyun's time is running out; there are only three days left before the Yunxia Sect begins accepting disciples.

The fact that Ye Liuyun has run away can't be kept secret for long.

When the time came, the Ye family members, seeing that Ye Liuyun had not yet come out, naturally went in to check.

"Liu Yun, Liu Yun, it's time for you to marry Ao Xue."

A young man with a smile pushed open Ye Liuyun's door.

This is Ye Liuyun's older brother, Ye Suifeng.

Unfortunately, as soon as he entered, he realized something was wrong.

Chapter 4 Arrival at Yunxia

At that moment, sobbing sounds came from the bed, and there was no sign of her younger brother in the room.

Upon hearing the sound, he rushed to the bedside and saw that the maid in his household had been gagged and tied to the bed. He quickly tore off the strips of cloth.

"What happened? Where is the young master?" Ye Suifeng asked hurriedly.

"Young Master Suifeng, I don't know anything. I fainted as soon as I came in, and then I found that my clothes had been taken off and I had been gagged and tied to the bed," the maid said in a frightened voice.

Upon hearing this, Ye Suifeng glanced at the groom's clothes on the ground.

Then he realized that it must have been his younger brother who knocked the maid unconscious and then disguised himself as a maid to escape the encirclement of the servants.

Ye Suifeng immediately went to ask the servants when Ye Liuyun, who was disguised as a maid, had left.

The servants, however, were still confused about the situation.

"Idiots, you've been tricked by my brother! The maid who just left was my brother in disguise. Go after him and see if he's already left Qixia Town." Ye Suifeng felt things had gotten out of hand.

"Okay, okay, we'll go after them right away." These servants are innocent too.

Ye Suifeng immediately told his parents what had happened, and the head of the Ye family was furious.

"What? That brat escaped? I didn't expect him to get away. He must have gone to the Cloud Mist Sect. Send people to chase after him immediately. We must bring him back." Patriarch Ye said anxiously.

Their families have too few members in this generation. If they had more members, he wouldn't have refused Ye Liuyun's request to join a cultivation sect.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, nothing is more important than continuing the family line; everything else has to take a backseat.

Ye Suifeng nodded, and he personally led his men to pursue them.

As for the Lin family, the fact that the groom had run away from the wedding was impossible to hide, and they were even more anxious.

Because they had discussed the plan with the Ye family for a long time before coming up with it.

"What? They ran away? Damn it."

Upon hearing this news, Lin Aoxue, dressed in her wedding gown, turned cold.

Without saying a word, with a gloomy expression, she changed her clothes and rode off on horseback to chase after the Yunxia Sect.

Qixia Town is about a day's journey from Yunxia Sect, so Ye Liuyun should be able to make it.

Ye Liuyun rode her horse along the mountain road, her face showing no sign of relief. Ever since that accident that turned her into a woman, Ye Liuyun had long wanted to leave Qixia Town.

However, due to hesitation and the lack of opportunity, no action was taken.

But this time, the Yunxia Sect is accepting disciples. Isn't that a great opportunity? As long as she joins the Yunxia Sect, no one can do anything to her.

"Kid, aren't you afraid your little wife will catch up with you?" Lin Qingyou reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun's face stiffened.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Let them come if they want. As long as I join the Yunxia Sect, they won't be able to do anything about it," Ye Liuyun said with a determined look in his eyes.

Ye Liuyun dared not stop for a moment; if he were caught up, it would be a huge problem.

She just kept going without stopping until dusk, when the horse could no longer run.

"Giddy up, giddy up, Brother Horse, give me some face, hang in there a little longer. Aren't they saying that horses can travel a thousand miles a day? You're really too weak, aren't you?" Ye Liuyun's horse was too tired to walk anymore.

This made Ye Liuyun extremely anxious; he knew the work couldn't stop even at night.

Just then, an old man leading a donkey walked towards them on the mountain path.

Ye Liuyun's eyes lit up when he saw the donkey, so he quickly dismounted and called out to the old man.

"Grandpa, can I talk to you about something?" Ye Liuyun stopped the old man with a smile.

The old man was taken aback, then looked Ye Liuyun up and down.

"What's wrong, young lady?" the old man asked, puzzled.

Ye Liuyun felt awkward being called "girl" for the first time, but this was not the time to dwell on it.

Ye Liuyun quickly told the old man about his situation.

After hearing Ye Liuyun's offer to trade his horse for his donkey, the old man agreed without hesitation.

In this world, horses are definitely more expensive than donkeys.

So Ye Liuyun saddled the donkey. Although it would run slower, it was better than stopping.

However, it was definitely much slower than a horse, and the whole night passed just like that.

The next day, around eight or nine in the morning, at the foot of a mountain shrouded in mist, a young girl lay weakly on the back of a donkey, gradually reaching the entrance to a stone staircase leading up the mountain.

Besides her, there were many other young men and women who arrived on horseback; they were all there to participate in the entrance examination for the Yunxia Sect.

This is the training ground of the Yunxia Sect.

"Ah! Looks like we've arrived. I'm starving," Ye Liuyun said listlessly.

She hadn't eaten all day. Ye Liuyun's cultivation method was quite special; it was taught to her by Lin Qingyou, who said it was unique in the world.

It is said that after practicing this method, one can live forever and be immortal, but the only drawback is that one cannot abstain from grains while practicing this method.

In other words, one should still eat and drink like ordinary people; the method of cultivation is eating and drinking.

Ye Liuyun left in a hurry and didn't prepare any dry food.

"Hey? Miss, are you alright?" Just as Ye Liuyun was exhausted, a young man in white happened to walk past her.

This is a seemingly gentle and refined young man.

Ye Liuyun glanced at her, then asked seriously.

"Hmm, sir, do you have any dry food and water?"

Upon hearing this, the young man understood what was going on, and generously handed food and water from his horse to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun accepted the water and food without any hesitation and began to wolf it down without any regard for appearances.

That kind of eating style is definitely not presentable; it looks like a starving ghost reincarnated.

The boy was stunned when he saw Ye Liuyun like this, and thought to himself, "How long has it been since this girl has eaten?"

Ye Liuyun spent a few minutes eating all the food and then fully recovered.

"Ah! He's alive again! Brother, what's your name? You're my great benefactor." Ye Liuyun asked the other person's name with a satisfied expression.

"Ah, I am Xiao Hansheng. May I ask your name, young lady?" the young man introduced himself.

"Me? My name is Ye, cough cough, my name is Ye Liuyu." Ye Liuyun almost blurted out his real name.

Xiao Hansheng nodded.

The two then stopped at the entrance to the steps, because horses were not allowed to be brought up here; all the horses were tied up at the foot of the mountain.

Only after the assessment is over, or if you fail, can you come and bring your mount up.

Looking at the magnificent Fuyun Mountain before him, Ye Liuyun felt a deep longing in his heart.

The two had to go through an age check first, and only after their ages were confirmed to be correct could they climb the stairs.

"Young lady, please extend your hand," a beautiful female disciple from the Yunxia Sect gently gestured.

Ye Liuyun's eyes lit up as he looked at the female disciple in front of him. Cultivators have such good temperaments, and they seem to be much prettier than ordinary people in the mortal world.

This ordinary female disciple in front of me is better than most women in the mortal world.

"Oh? Fairy, you are so beautiful." Ye Liuyun couldn't help but praise her as he reached out his hand.

The female nun immediately chuckled.

"Sister, you have such a sweet tongue. Alright, you're old enough to go up now. These steps are for testing disciples. Only by reaching the end can you join the Cloud Mist Sect, and you must reach the end before dusk today, otherwise it will be considered a failure," the female cultivator reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun glanced at the steps, which seemed unremarkable.

"Miss Ye, let's go." Xiao Hansheng reminded Ye Liuyun when he saw that she was still in a daze.

Ye Liuyun nodded, and then the two stepped onto the steps. So far, they didn't feel anything was wrong with the steps.

Chapter 5 has been caught up.

But just as Ye Liuyun thought she had embarked on the path of cultivation, a chilling voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"Ye Liuyun, Ye Liuyun, where are you? Come out here! I know you're here."

Ye Liuyun stiffened as he glanced behind him, and there he saw a spirited young woman in a fiery red dress riding a chestnut horse at the registration point.

"No way? It can catch up with me? Damn it, that stinking horse trader said it was a thoroughbred, how dare he lie to me, just you wait." Ye Liuyun knew that the horse trader had cheated him.

Because she felt that the horse the girl was riding was a true thoroughbred.

The girl in red over there was naturally Lin Aoxue, who glanced around.

She quickly noticed someone on the steps dressed as a maid from the Ye family. She was puzzled for a moment, then shouted loudly.

"Ye Liuyun, I see you. Stop right there."

Lin Aoxue spotted Ye Liuyun on the steps, then immediately jumped off her horse and chased after him.

"Damn it! Brother Xiao, let's go!" Ye Liuyun hurriedly walked upstairs, pretending not to see Lin Aoxue.

"Eh? Miss Ye, what's wrong? Do you know that girl in red over there?" Xiao Hansheng asked, puzzled.

How could Ye Liuyun possibly admit that he knew Lin Aoxue?

"I don't know him. We don't have much time left, so we'd better get going." Ye Liuyun's pace quickened.

"Ye Liuyun, stop right there!" Lin Aoxue was still calling out, but just as she was about to go up the steps, she was stopped by the disciples of Yunxia Sect.

"Young lady, horses are not allowed on the trial steps. Also, we need to check your bone age," the Yunxia Sect disciple said solemnly.

Lin Aoxue was very anxious. Seeing Ye Liuyun disappear from her sight, she couldn't care less about anything else. She could only quickly go to the side, tie up the horse, and then sign up for the Yunxia Sect trial herself.

After confirming that there were no issues with her age, Lin Aoxue immediately ran up the steps at top speed and soon spotted Ye Liuyun.

"Stop right there, Ye Liuyun! You stop right there! You can't escape!" Lin Aoxue shouted angrily.

Ye Liuyun was utterly helpless when she saw Lin Aoxue follow her. She even forgot that she was actually a woman. If she disguised herself well, Lin Aoxue should not have recognized her.

It wasn't that she wasn't calm enough, but rather that an instinct from the depths of her soul prevented her from dealing with Lin Aoxue calmly.

But none of that matters anymore.

"Brother Xiao, I'll be going now. I wish you success in the assessment. Farewell." Ye Liuyun left these words, then lifted her skirt, slipped away, and vanished from Xiao Hansheng's sight in an instant.

"Eh? Miss Ye, you?" Xiao Hansheng was confused.

Seeing Ye Liuyun speed up, Lin Aoxue was furious. She also sped up to catch up and disappeared at the end of the steps.

"Strange? Do those two know each other?" Xiao Hansheng muttered to himself as he watched the two disappear.

Lin Aoxue quickly spotted Ye Liuyun, but she couldn't quite figure out if the person in front of her was actually Ye Liuyun.

This figure doesn't look like her at all! Or maybe she recognizes the clothes—they're maid outfits made by the Ye family, and Ye Liuyun disguised herself as a maid to escape from the Ye family, which is why she shouted.

If the person in front of him wasn't Ye Liuyun, the other party shouldn't have reacted at all. So why did the other party run away as soon as he saw him?

"Kid, you're acting like an idiot. You're a woman now, why are you running? Even if she catches you, she'll let you go as soon as she sees you're a woman. If you run now, isn't that admitting your true identity?" Lin Qingyou rolled her eyes as she watched Ye Liuyun flee.
