"This?" The five disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect were all astonished by the person in front of them.

However, when Ye Liuyun turned around and looked at the five dumbfounded people behind him, he immediately chuckled.

"Young men, don't look at me like that, it makes me shy," Ye Liuyun joked.

Hearing this, the men gave an awkward smile. Although the woman in front of them looked quite old, they could tell that she must have been an absolute beauty when she was young.

"Thank you so much, senior, for saving our lives," the group said hurriedly.

Although the aura emanating from Ye Liuyun was very weak, only at the early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm, could someone at the early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm possibly flick a demon beast at the early stage of the Dao Palace Realm with a single finger?

It was obviously impossible, so they were more inclined to believe that the person in front of them was pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

"Senior? You mean me? What kind of senior am I? My cultivation isn't even as high as yours. Oh, right, I'm not talking to you anymore. Hey! Senior Brother Song, long time no see." Ye Liuyun quickly greeted Song Shuwen in the sky.

Song Shuwen had not seen Ye Liuyun for decades, and this was the first time in nearly sixty years that he had accompanied Ye Liuyun to the Yunxia Sect.

To be honest, Ye Liuyun didn't want to go back. After all, there were many acquaintances there, and she was afraid of developing too many feelings for them because she knew very well that these people would disappear from her life one by one.

This is a sad story. Unless you are exceptionally gifted and highly skilled, it's okay to get to know such people better, as they are more likely to live longer.

"It really is Junior Sister Ye! My God, how did you become like this?" Song Shuwen and Lin Aoxue slowly floated down.

You should know that in Song Shuwen's memory, Ye Liuyun was still that gentle and kind beautiful woman, how did she become so old?

Ye Liuyun wanted to roll her eyes. She knew that acquaintances would definitely question her about her appearance.

"What do you mean 'changed into what state'? Just tell me directly why I've gotten old, okay? Honestly," Ye Liuyun complained, hands on her hips.

Song Shuwen gave an awkward smile.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that question," Song Shuwen quickly apologized.

"No need to apologize, it's normal. I'm a physical cultivator, not a magic cultivator. Physical cultivators can't increase lifespan. I'm a hundred years old this year. If I hadn't taken a longevity pill, I probably would have been buried by now," Ye Liuyun explained.

Upon hearing this, Song Shuwen realized that Ye Liuyun's situation was different from theirs.

"Huh? This? Is that so? Sigh! Haven't you thought of a solution yet? I think you should try continuing to cultivate spiritual energy," Song Shuwen suggested.

In his eyes, if Ye Liuyun didn't come up with a way to break through the life limit of body cultivators, then death was the only thing waiting for him. After all, a hundred years would pass in the blink of an eye for a cultivator.

"I was trying to figure something out, but I didn't expect this. Alright, alright, eat this. Your injuries should heal after you eat it." Ye Liuyun tossed a pill to Song Shuwen.

Song Shuwen knew that Ye Liuyun's pills were particularly effective. He glanced at the red pill in his hand and swallowed it without thinking.

"Eh? Deacon Song, are these two seniors also cultivators from our Yunxia Sect? How come we've never seen them before?" The five people immediately asked curiously after hearing Song Shuwen and Ye Liuyun's conversation.

Song Shuwen did not hide it from him.

"I can only say that they are people of our Yunxia Sect. This one is Ye Liuyu, who is currently a disciple of our superior sect, Yun Sect, while this one is Lin Aoxue, who is currently a disciple of the Supreme Response Sect, the sect above the sects above hers," Song Shuwen explained.

However, Lin Aoxue wanted to correct Song Shuwen.

"Hey, hey, hey, I only went to the Supreme Response Sect, I haven't left the sect yet, how come you expelled me?" Lin Aoxue said indignantly.

These words stunned Song Shuwen.

"Ah? Senior Sister Lin, you haven't left the sect yet?" This surprised Song Shuwen greatly.

Under normal circumstances, how could someone who joins another sect possibly retain their original sect's disciple status?

"What are you saying? Your former senior brother, Yun Xin, has retained his status as a disciple of the Yunxia Sect, so why can't I? By the way, I've almost forgotten how to address you," Lin Aoxue asked.

Song Shuwen didn't mind that Lin Aoxue had forgotten his name, since they weren't very familiar with each other to begin with.

"Oh, I'm Song Shuwen, currently a sect steward," Song Shuwen quickly introduced himself.

As for the other five people, they were already intimidated by Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue's identities. Not to mention the Supreme Response Sect, the mere fact that they were disciples of the Cloud Sect was enough to make them envious.

Moreover, the two of them felt that the names of the two people in front of them sounded familiar.

"My God, I remember now! Lin Aoxue, Senior Lin, ranked first on the Prodigy Ranking! Ye Liuyu, Senior Ye, ranked 1,000th on the Prodigy Ranking! Both of you are powerful figures on the Prodigy Ranking!" one of them exclaimed.

As soon as he said this, another young man quickly took out a scroll from his storage ring, opened it, and sure enough, he soon found the names of Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun on it.

"It really is true! My goodness, I never expected that we would be able to meet two of the greatest talents of our time here. We are so lucky!" the group exclaimed like children.

Of course, these little guys are indeed considered little guys by Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun, after all, the oldest of them is only in his fifties.

"The Prodigy Ranking? What is that? I've only heard of the Prodigy Tower, never the Prodigy Ranking. And besides, I'm ranked last! Last place, is that what makes me famous?" Ye Liuyun immediately laughed.

Lin Aoxue immediately explained the situation to Ye Liuyun.

"After the Southern Ridge Gathering, the sect created the Prodigy Ranking and distributed it to various forces in the cultivation world. Although it only lists one thousand people, you have to think about it. Millions of young cultivators participate in the Southern Ridge Gathering, so one thousand is already a very high ranking," Lin Aoxue explained.

Song Shuwen, who was standing to the side, quickly added.

"Yes, if I had these thousand, I could brag about it for the rest of my life. Junior Sister Ye, how can you still not be satisfied?"

Ye Liuyun chuckled.

“That’s true. I’ve been studying body cultivation all these years, so I haven’t paid much attention to what’s happening outside,” Ye Liuyun explained.

"Alright, alright, let's not waste any more time, let's go back to the sect," Lin Aoxue said.

Song Shuwen and the others nodded, and just like that, the group took to the air and flew towards the direction of the Cloud Mist Sect.

However, after flying away, Ye Liuyun suddenly realized a problem.

"Hey? Senior Brother Song, I don't think I killed that wild boar with my flick. It just knocked it unconscious. Is that alright?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Upon hearing this, Song Shuwen immediately shook his head.

"It's alright if it's not dead. We'll find another opportunity next time. Speaking of which, Junior Sister Ye, you should remember this wild boar demon, right? Back when you were still in the Cloud Mist Sect, weren't Yu Yuan and the others attacked by a demon in the Black Wind Mountains? It was this wild boar demon that attacked them," Song Shuwen reminded her.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback.

"Really? When I came here back then, this guy was already gone. I didn't expect him to still be here. By the way, how are Senior Sister Yu Yuan and the others?" Ye Liuyun asked.

“Of course they’re still in the sect. However, their aptitude isn’t very good. They’re all stuck at the Spirit Pattern Realm right now. Whether they can break through to the Dao Palace Realm is still unknown,” Song Shuwen said.

Ye Liuyun sighed again.

Don't underestimate the Dao Palace cultivators; they may not seem like much to them now, but the Spirit Pattern Realm and Core Formation Realm cultivators have blocked almost half of the cultivators in the cultivation world here.

The five little ones followed behind the three, talking the whole time.

"My idol! Senior Lin is so strong and beautiful! In my whole life, I don't ask for anything else, I would be satisfied if I had the chance to attend the Nanling Grand Gathering once." A young man exclaimed.

“Forget it, we were born at a bad time. The Nanling Grand Gathering is held once every three hundred years, and only sixty years have passed since the last one. Moreover, each Nanling Grand Gathering restricts cultivators under the age of two hundred to participate, so we are destined to have no chance,” said another disciple of the Yunxia Sect.

"Huh? Oh, is that so? Sigh!" The group was quite disappointed.

A moment later, they finally arrived at the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, but upon arrival, they discovered that the Cloud Mist Sect had almost doubled in size.

"Oh? The sect has expanded so much! How many disciples have you recruited over the past few decades?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

"We have more disciples than in previous years. Back then, Senior Sister Lin, Senior Sister Yunxin, Senior Sister Xiao, and Senior Sister Nalan all joined the Supreme Response Sect, right? The Supreme Sect and the Supreme Cult bestowed a lot of rewards upon us, which raised the overall strength of our Yunxia Sect to a whole new level," Song Shuwen explained.

And so, the group flew into the Cloud Mist Sect.

Their return, not to mention Ye Liuyun, just Lin Aoxue alone was enough to warrant a welcome from the entire Yunxia Sect.

They're all waiting at the sect gate.

"Eh? Sect Master, Senior Sister, isn't that Aoxue? She's here." Yunhui said hurriedly.

Yun Yun was overjoyed; this precious disciple of hers was arguably the greatest luck of her life.

"Sigh! Kenshin, if only you could come back more often." Standing next to Yun Yun, Yun Ling sighed with a mixture of joy and disappointment upon seeing Lin Aoxue return.

After all, Yunxin was her disciple. Originally, he should have been proud to have such a disciple. However, after Yunxin joined the Taishang Ganying Sect, she never came back.

However, she gave most of the rewards she received from the Supreme Response Sect to Yun Yun, who then converted them into cultivation resources for Yun Ling. As a result, Yun Ling broke through to the Nascent Soul realm and is currently in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Yun Yun and the others have already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and are not far from the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

Based on the current situation, Yun Yun will break through to the Fourth Extreme Secret Realm in less than a hundred years, so there's basically no need to worry too much.

Ye Liuyun and his group quickly landed at the sect's main gate.

As soon as Lin Aoxue landed, she immediately smiled and wanted to give her master a hug. However, just as she was about to go up, Yun Yun and the others suddenly bowed respectfully to Lin Aoxue in unison.

"Yun Yun, the leader of Yunxia Sect, a subordinate sect of Yun Sect, along with all the senior members of Yunxia Sect, respectfully welcomes the Mysterious Goddess to descend upon Yunxia Sect."

This sudden bow stunned Lin Aoxue for a moment.

"Eh? Master, what are you doing? Don't forget, I haven't left the sect yet. Isn't this being too formal?" Lin Aoxue said awkwardly.

He then quickly told everyone to dispense with formalities.

“You silly girl, these are the rules. Your status is different now. You will be the future leader of the Upper Sect,” Yun Yun said quickly.

Lin Aoxue couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she also felt quite helpless.

"Hey? It's Liuyu, you're back too?" Just then, Yunxiao saw Ye Liuyu standing behind Lin Aoxue.

She almost didn't recognize him, after all, Ye Liuyun's appearance had changed quite a bit.

Upon hearing Yunxiao's voice, the others all looked at Ye Liuyun.

"Hehe, Sect Master, Elders, it's been a long time." Ye Liuyun chuckled and waved.

Yun Yun and the others dared not mistreat Ye Liuyun, for they were well aware of Ye Liuyun's abilities.

"Oh my, I didn't expect to have such an unexpected distinguished guest," Yun Yun joked.

Ye Liuyun chuckled, and just like that, the group followed Yun Yun and the others into the Yunxia Sect. The core area of ​​the Yunxia Sect hadn't changed much; it was the same as it had been back then.

The disciples on the way were very curious about who these two guests were, seeing their sect leader and elders personally welcoming them.

"Who are these two? That senior in the pure white dress is so beautiful." Some Yunxia Sect disciples all turned their attention to Lin Aoxue.

Ye Liuyun looked around at the people, who were only staring at Lin Aoxue and not at her, and couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

"Ah! Back in my day, in the Cloud Mist Sect, I was a stunning beauty who would turn her head every ten steps. What a pity, now I'm an old woman, old and faded, no one wants to look at me anymore," Ye Liuyun said, touching her face with a teasy tone.

Ye Liuyun's affected tone and expression almost made Lin Aoxue, who was standing next to him, feel disgusted to death.

Her words left Yun Yun and the others speechless, and they could only laugh it off.

The moment they saw Ye Liuyun like this, they knew it must be a problem with the life limit of body cultivation. They had said long ago that Ye Liuyun's path of body cultivation was doomed to fail.

"Junior Sister Ye, there must be a way. Don't be too pessimistic," Yunxiao said, patting Ye Liuyun on the shoulder.

Ye Liuyun is now a direct disciple of the Yun Sect, so they are now considered peers.

Chapter 395 I was conscripted (4000 words)

"Hey? Aoxue, you go chat with the sect leader and the others. I'll just wander around the sect." Ye Liuyun suddenly stopped speaking.

Lin Aoxue was taken aback, but she didn't say anything more.

Yunyun immediately glanced at Yunxiao.

"Junior Sister Yunxiao, why don't you stay and talk to Junior Sister Ye? Junior Sister Ye must have many old friends she wants to see," Yunyun suggested.

Yunxiao nodded, and then he and Ye Liuyun stopped.

After Lin Aoxue and the others left, Yunxiao whispered a question into Ye Liuyun's ear.

"Tell me, what's going on with you? Don't tell me you don't have much time left to live. I don't believe it. I know your situation. You gave my master that life-extending pill, didn't you?"

Yunxiao knew that Ye Liuyun's alchemy skills were extraordinary, so there was no need to hide anything from him.

"Eh? Elder Yunxiao, I have a secret that I can't tell you. My aged appearance is indeed a disguise. I plan to play dead and leave Yunzong openly in a few decades. You understand what I mean, right?" Ye Liuyun replied softly.

Yunxiao understood immediately upon hearing this.

"Oh, I understand. But don't call me elder anymore. I bet ten of me couldn't beat you. Let's address each other as equals, call me sister." Yunxiao laughed.

"Call me 'sister'? Hehe, what's wrong, Elder Yunxiao? Have you gotten used to your current gender?" Ye Liuyun teased.

Yunxiao sighed helplessly.

"What else can we do? We can't just deceive ourselves, can we? Anyway, this is the situation throughout the entire cultivation world of Nanling, so it's not really a shameful thing," Yunxiao said with a wry smile.

"That's true. By the way, Sister Yunxiao, could you help me find those acquaintances from back then? See if they need any help from me. To be honest, I don't really want to come back. As soon as I come back, I have to worry that my acquaintances are gone again." Ye Liuyun's expression gradually became serious.

Yunxiao was taken aback. She looked at Ye Liuyun and didn't think he was a heartless person. On the contrary, he was also a person who valued loyalty and righteousness. It was precisely because he valued loyalty that she was afraid.

“It seems you’ve already broken through the lifespan shackles of body cultivators. That makes sense; how could someone like you possibly have a short life? Alright, I’ll help you find those people,” Yunxiao said.

Ye Liuyun didn't waste any time. She recited the names of some former fellow disciples she had gotten along with quite well.

Ye Liuyun returned his Yunxia Sect identity token to the sect before leaving, so he lost his way to contact them and could only ask Yunxiao to call for help.
