About ten minutes later, in the former outer sect disciples' residence, familiar faces flew over from all directions.

"Haha, Sister Ye, it's been a long time." One by one, the familiar female disciples greeted Ye Liuyun as they arrived.

Ye Liuyun looked at these familiar faces and immediately smiled gently, then began to chat with them pleasantly.

These people were all those who had taken Ye Liuyun's potent pills back then.

Unfortunately, not many people have broken through to the Dao Palace level. Yu Yuan's older sister did break through to the Dao Palace level, but as for the others, they are currently at most inner disciples.

Lin Aoxue was also talking with Yun Yun and the others. Even Yun Yan had come. After breaking through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm, Yun Yan looked much younger.

They were all very happy to learn that Lin Aoxue had broken through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm. The stronger Lin Aoxue was, the safer their Yunxia Sect would be.

Yunyan also publicly announced that Lin Aoxue was the Supreme Elder of the Yunxia Sect, and that with her current cultivation level, she was qualified to be so.

Although Lin Aoxue felt a little embarrassed, after all, she had suddenly become higher in status than her master, there was nothing she could do about it; that's always been the case in the cultivation world.

Ye Liuyun was chatting and laughing with Yu Yuan and the others, but the happier he was, the sadder he actually felt.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to do her best to help these sisters, and she secretly gave them a lot of pills.

Among these are pills that can force people to break through from the peak of the Spirit Pattern Realm to the Foundation Establishment Realm, which is also one of the pills that Ye Liuyun has developed over the years.

She didn't need these pills herself, and keeping them would be a waste, but she didn't dare to distribute them in large quantities. These pills had no side effects, and if they were to circulate, it would cause a lot of trouble.

The pills Ye Liuyun gave them were called Spirit Foundation Pills. These pills were made by Ye Liuyun based on the standard Foundation Building Pills, but the standard pills she made were all modified.

Ye Liuyun repeatedly instructed them not to let the story get out, and to eat what they could as soon as possible.

When everyone heard about the effects of the pill, they were all stunned. They never imagined that a pill could forcibly initiate Foundation Establishment. However, they all swore in front of Ye Liuyun that they would never tell anyone.

Because they themselves knew that if they revealed this information, it would only harm themselves and Ye Liuyun.

To be honest, if Ye Liuyun wanted to, she could forcefully increase the cultivation level of any cultivator by using pills.

About three hours later, Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun left Yunxia Sect. This time, Ye Liuyun couldn't guarantee that they would come back.

"Why do you look so sullen?" Lin Aoxue asked Ye Liuyun.

"Sigh! You should understand why I didn't want to come back. If you hadn't said that today is our 100th birthday and we were looking back on the past, I really might not have wanted to come back. Every time I see familiar faces, I feel sad," Ye Liuyun said.

Lin Aoxue didn't say anything sarcastic, after all, this was a very serious issue.

Another half hour passed, and Ye Liuyun and his group returned to Qixia Town. Of course, they didn't enter Qixia Town, but instead arrived at Qixia Mountain behind Qixia Town.

This is a place they used to play at often when they were children.

Moreover, it is autumn now, and the mountains are covered with golden chrysanthemums, their fragrance spreading for miles.

"Ah! It still tastes the same as before." Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue walked hand in hand on the now-vanished mountain path, sighing with emotion.

When the wind blows, countless petals drift away into the distance, creating an incredibly beautiful scene.

They found a place to sit for a while until dusk, when they finally stood up. This separation might mean it would be some time before they could meet again.

"It's almost time, we should head back," Lin Aoxue said.

Ye Liuyun didn't say much, but immediately pulled Lin Aoxue into his arms and gave her a deep kiss.

After the kiss, Ye Liuyun looked at Lin Aoxue and said with a smile.

"Hurry up and become stronger, then we can do whatever we want. My master said that once you reach the Nirvana Realm, we might be able to go home."

"Of course, while I'm cultivating in the forbidden area, you mustn't cause any trouble," Lin Aoxue instructed.

The higher her cultivation level, the more she understood that immortality was nothing without the support of exceptionally powerful forces.

"Don't worry, it's fine. I have my own plans, so don't worry about me," Ye Liuyun said confidently.

After the two finished their conversation, they returned to Yunzong. Not long after they returned, Li Bai arrived, and Lin Aoxue went back to Taishang Ganying Sect with him.

As for Ye Liuyun, after watching Lin Aoxue leave, she went to find Su Ying.

"Huh? You want to go out for a walk?" Su Ying was taken aback when she heard Ye Liuyun's purpose.

Ye Liuyun naturally had to give a reasonable explanation.

"I have to go out and try my luck to see if I can find a way to break through the lifespan limit. I can't just stay in Bixia Valley forever, that's just waiting to die, isn't it?" Ye Liuyun said, feigning helplessness.

These words left Su Ying with no choice but to agree, but she needed to ask Fang Mingyu about Ye Liuyun's matter.

"Alright, I'll consult with the sect. I can't make decisions about your matter." After saying that, Su Ying immediately contacted Fang Mingyu.

Upon hearing this, Fang Mingyu was quite agreeable and readily agreed to Ye Liuyun's request.

After all, there was no reason to force Ye Liuyun to stay in Yunzong; their goal had basically been achieved.

"Alright, Liuyu, the sect leader has agreed to your request. Where are you planning to go for a walk? How long will it take?" Su Ying asked.

Ye Liuyun was also very direct.

"The Tang Kingdom is so vast, there are so many places I haven't seen yet. Don't I still have a hundred years to live? A hundred years should be enough for me to travel the world. As for when I'll return, that's a hundred years. Whether I find it or not, I will return," Ye Liuyun replied.

Since Fang Mingyu had agreed, Su Ying naturally wouldn't say anything more.

"Alright, a hundred years it is. You should have told your sister about this, right?" Su Ying asked.

"That's what she meant. She said she was going to enter the forbidden area of ​​the Supreme Response Sect to cultivate and wouldn't be coming out for a while. She was worried I'd be bored, so she told me to go out for a walk and then look for a way out," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Su Ying nodded, and so Ye Liuyun returned to Bixia Valley.

"Hey, monkey, I'm going out for a walk. Are you planning to come along or stay home?" Ye Liuyun asked Sun Yuan first.

"Tch, I have no interest in running around. Do as you please, don't worry about me," Sun Yuan said leisurely, leaning against the spirit peach tree with his legs crossed.

This monkey seemed to have only the spirit peach tree in its eyes, nothing else.

"Suit yourself. You can take care of my little animals. There are plenty of spiritual fruits here, so you won't starve." Ye Liuyun left these words and went back to pack his things.

He also called out to Fan Ling. When Fan Ling heard that Ye Liuyun was finally going to take her out for a walk, she was so moved that she almost cried.

She's been stuck in this small place all these years, she's almost gone dazed.

This time, Ye Liuyun was going to bring Fan Ling, Liu Su, two kittens, and his donkey.

Ye Liuyun's donkey has already become a demon donkey; it's just extraordinary.

Ye Liuyun left without warning. The next morning, he simply said goodbye to Ji Tianjiao and then departed.

She first flew away from Yunzong on a tassel, went to Wanbaolou, met Jin Xiangrui, and gave Jin Xiangrui a batch of pills, which was her agreement with Jin Baifeng at the time.

Despite Ye Liuyun's low profile over the years, his pills are very expensive in the cultivation world, yet they sell extremely well. Their efficacy is such that if they were sold to major sects, they would probably be in high demand.

At the same time, Ye Liuyun also told Jin Xiangrui that she was going out for a walk and would not be back for a while. However, Ye Liuyun would deliver the agreed-upon pills through Wanbaolou in other regions.

This didn't matter to Jin Xiangrui, since all places were interconnected and these pills would eventually be sent to their headquarters.

After arranging everything, Ye Liuyun used a disguise pill to disguise his identity, transformed back into his teenage self, and rode his donkey to Jianglin City.

Ye Liuyun's donkey was exceptionally handsome and much stronger than the average donkey.

However, the refugees along the road to Jianglin City looked like they were fleeing a disaster.

"Huh? What's going on? Fan Ling, go ask her what happened," Ye Liuyun said after a moment of surprise.

"Okay." Fan Ling quickly stepped forward and stopped a middle-aged man.

Upon hearing this, it turned out that a war was about to break out in Jianglin City. Weren't these princes vying for the throne?

Jianglin City is currently under the control of the imperial court, which is now controlled by Prince Jing, the younger brother of the former emperor.

Prince Jing wanted to become emperor, but his nephews would never agree to that, so they all rose up in rebellion, claiming that Prince Jing had murdered the young emperor and usurped the throne.

Jiangzhou is within the fiefdom of the Second Prince, Prince Chu, Li Ming. This place is one of the final cities in the Southern Ridge, and it must be taken.

Fan Ling told Ye Liuyun the information she had received.

Ye Liuyun was speechless after hearing this.

"What a mess," Ye Liuyun sighed, then continued riding his donkey and soon arrived at Jianglin City.

However, when she arrived in Jianglin City, the city was already under lockdown, allowing entry but not exit.

Ye Liuyun had other matters to attend to and definitely needed to go into the city, but trouble arose just as she was about to enter.

After entering the city, they hadn't taken more than a few steps when they were stopped by three soldiers.

"Halt, kid. How old are you?" a soldier asked sternly.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback. She thought about it and realized that she looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.

"I'm eighteen, so what?" Ye Liuyun asked back.

"Oh, eighteen years old? Take him away." Upon hearing that Ye Liuyun was eighteen, the leading soldier immediately ordered the soldiers behind him.

As soon as he said this, the two soldiers immediately pointed their spears at Ye Liuyun, quite suddenly.

"What's going on?" Ye Liuyun asked speechlessly.

"What are you doing? According to the governor's order, all adult men in the city aged sixteen to forty must obey the conscription order and become soldiers to defend Jianglin City," the leading soldier said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun was both amused and exasperated. Had she been conscripted into the army?

However, Ye Liuyun did not retaliate with force. Instead, he jumped off his donkey and handed it to Fan Ling.

"Fan Ling, you take Hei Niu and go find somewhere to have fun," Ye Liuyun said.

Black Ox was the name Ye Liuyun gave to this donkey.

Fan Ling was taken aback. She didn't know what Ye Liuyun was up to, but she still nodded and took the donkey's reins.

Then he watched as Ye Liuyun was taken away by several soldiers.

"Master, what's going on? But it's alright, at least we can play around a bit. Black Bull, let's go." Fan Ling said with a smile.

As for Ye Liuyun, he was taken directly to the recruitment office in the city, where many adult men were queuing up to receive armor and weapons.

"Oh no, it looks like we're going to die defending the city. We should have run away sooner," some of the men in line muttered.

"Say something nice, I don't want to die," another person said.

Like them, Ye Liuyun registered and received armor and spears, as they were preparing to fight against the King of Chu's army.

However, Jianglin City is unlikely to be able to withstand it.

Chapter 396 Helping in Reverse (7000 words)

Ye Liuyun, clutching his armor and spear, leaned against the corner of the wall next to the recruitment area, lost in thought.

First of all, she was clearly conscripted on purpose. With her abilities, the fighting power of these mortals was basically zero in her eyes.

The reason she didn't directly resist was because she had a strange feeling that the internal strife in Tang might be related to her and the Lin and Ye families.

Actually, she had discussed this matter with Lin Aoxue, but it was a worldly affair, and Lin Aoxue didn't want to get involved.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, it would be more harmful than beneficial for someone of her status to interfere in worldly disputes.

Because once cultivation forces set a precedent by participating in worldly struggles, only mortals will suffer.

However, Lin Aoxue also reminded her that the Chu King of Nanling seemed to have the shadows of the Nangong family and Aojian Manor behind him.

In addition, the rebellions in various parts of the secular world started almost simultaneously. Ye Feiwu had said back then that if she had the chance, she would definitely fight against the Li royal family.

With such a good opportunity right in front of him, Ye Liuyun felt that if his grandfather wanted to make a move, he would seize it.

Most importantly, her saintly grandmother told her about the background of the Nangong family and Aojian Manor.

If these two companies were indeed involved, then it's 100% their doing.

Of course, it's not entirely certain yet, but since we're out traveling and have happened to come across this, we certainly can't miss it.

"Hey, what's this little brat doing here? Why is this recruitment office taking just any kind of able-bodied man? They even took this fair-skinned, delicate little brat, who looks like a girl, as a conscript. Does he even have any fighting ability?"

Just as Ye Liuyun was lost in thought, he heard a series of mocking voices.

Ye Liuyun immediately glanced to his side and saw several burly men in armor standing with their arms crossed, looking down at him.

It has to be said that Ye Liuyun does indeed look like he has no fighting ability, and he gives people the feeling of a rich young master.

But if he really is a rich young master, these conscripts wouldn't dare to do anything reckless.

They mainly arrested ordinary people and refugees who had fled from other places.

When they registered Ye Liuyun's identity, they registered him as a refugee. A refugee is someone who has no household registration and has fled from other places. No one cares if he dies.

"Uncle! You're joking. It wasn't like I wanted to come here. I was just passing through Jianglin City when they conscripted me. Sigh! What bad luck." Ye Liuyun sighed helplessly.
