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

He wasn't attracted to Ye Liuyun's appearance; he remained quite calm, seemingly not particularly impressed, but rather finding her rather uninteresting.

"This? No, how come all the daughters of the Ye family look so alike?" Nangong Hui complained.

He simply felt no surprise because Ye Ninglu and Ye Liuyun looked so alike. After all, he was used to seeing his wife, and seeing such a similar face was rather uninteresting.

Ye Liuyun and Ye Ninglu are at least 70% similar, mainly because they dress differently, have different temperaments, and different figures, but if you only look at their faces, they are almost identical.

"Eh? I heard about this from my grandma. It's because her bloodline is more dominant. My grandpa is just an ordinary person after all, and he can't suppress my grandma's bloodline. So, the women in our Ye family basically look similar to grandma," Ye Liuyun explained.

Nangong Hui could understand this.

“Hmm, I understand. You can now be considered four sisters. Each of you has a different temperament. Your eldest sister is usually cold and serious, your second sister is more elegant and easy-going, and your third sister is a bit mischievous and outgoing. As for you, how should I put it? I feel that among the four sisters, you are the most feminine. It’s really strange.” Nangong Hui commented, stroking his chin.

These words nearly choked Ye Ninglu, who was standing to the side.

"Hey! Nangong Hui, what do you mean? Are you saying that I'm not feminine enough?" Ye Ninglu looked at Nangong Hui with a dangerous expression.

"Eh? Ah? Madam, I was just saying something, I really didn't mean anything else, don't get so excited, haha." Nangong Hui then realized that he had said the wrong thing.

However, Nangong Hui's assessment of the four sisters was actually not wrong. Among the four sisters, Ye Liuyun was indeed the most feminine.

"Tch, men's mouths are all lies. Alright, alright, you've seen enough, now turn back into Liuyun." Ye Ninglu said, rolling her eyes.

Ye Liuyun nodded, then took the Disguise Pill again, transforming back into a man.

However, Nangong Hui said...

"Actually, I don't think there's any need to pretend. Sooner or later, we'll have to reveal our true selves."

But Ye Liuyun shook his head.

"Let's talk about it later. I don't want everyone to know that I used to be a man so soon," Ye Liuyun replied.

Since Ye Liuyun had already said that, Nangong Hui naturally couldn't say anything more.

"Oh, by the way, Liuyun, did you forget to bring a maid with you? I heard that there's a maid waiting outside the Nangong family's gate." Nangong asked.

As soon as he said this, Ye Liuyun realized that he had forgotten about Fan Ling.

"Oh? I almost forgot. Look at my memory. Brother-in-law, could you please send someone to bring her in?" Ye Liuyun said awkwardly.

Nangong Hui and Ye Ninglu were both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

After a while, Fan Ling came to Ye Liuyun's side with a wronged look on her face.

"Miss, how could you forget about me?" Fan Ling said, speechless.

"Haha, well, I'm so sorry, I was just too happy and forgot you were there. It's my fault," Ye Liuyun said apologetically.

Fan Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

And so, under Ye Ninglu's arrangement, Ye Liuyun settled down in the side room.

After settling in, Ye Liuyun closed her eyes and began to ponder. She had already passed the 100-year mark, but she hadn't had time to check what the difference was between before and after turning 100.

First of all, she did feel that her power had increased a lot, at least a level higher than before.

But apart from that, she didn't know how much her power limit could be expanded when she reached the mid-stage of the Innate Realm.

That's the issue she's concerned about.

Her physical strength had stopped increasing for a long time. Ye Liuyun had basically stopped training his body in recent years because it was ineffective.

As she spoke, Ye Liuyun took out an electric shock pill, swallowed it, and activated it. She controlled the current to shock her own body, but one electric shock pill was not very effective.

"Huh? No effect? ​​Looks like it's not powerful enough." Ye Liuyun said, taking another Burning Pill to let the flames burn his body.

Only now did I begin to realize that Ye Liuyun's physical body, while outwardly resembling a human structure, possessed an internal strength that had reached that of a mid-grade spiritual artifact.

"I'm starting to feel it." Ye Liuyun showed a surprised expression.

Her body refinement is about tempering her physical body; to put it bluntly, body refinement is about treating herself as a magical weapon.

Weapons of different grades have different hardness. A mid-grade spiritual weapon sword is definitely harder than a low-grade spiritual weapon sword. What Ye Liuyun needs to do next is to evolve his physical body into a high-grade spiritual weapon.

Therefore, the strength of the low-grade spiritual weapon was definitely insufficient before. To put it bluntly, the fire was not enough. Only when Ye Liuyun felt the pain in his body could his physical body be further improved.

"Master, I have a question for you. Can I use the Myriad Medicines Immortal Fire to temper my physical body?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyou immediately shook her head.

"I'm sorry, but the power of the Myriad Medicines Immortal Fire is too strong for you right now. Your physical body can't withstand it. Now that you've broken through to the mid-stage of the Innate Realm, you might as well try refining a higher-grade Electric Shock Pill," Lin Qingyou suggested.

After listening, Ye Liuyun thought about it and realized that this was the only way. The current potency of these pills was too weak to stimulate the body, and her body had already developed drug resistance.

However, to refine better pills, one cannot remain in the Nangong family; one must wait until after leaving the Nangong family.

Ye Liuyun's body is very insensitive to pain because it has already adapted to a certain intensity of pain.

If pain has levels, and Ye Liuyun's body can only withstand level three pain, then Ye Liuyun must allow his body to endure level four or higher pain in order to improve.

The upper limit of this physical strength has indeed been broken. It can only be said that Sun Yuan and Lin Qingyou were right; Ye Liuyun's cultivation method does require time.

Once you reach the limit of your current age group, you can only wait for the upper limit of the next stage to arrive.

The upper limit of physical strength is not equal to the physical realm. This is the case with demonic beasts. Even among those at the mid-stage of the Dao Palace realm, some demonic beasts have ridiculously high physical strength, but this is due to their race.

Ye Liuyun roughly estimated that if she developed the upper limit of her physical strength at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm to the extreme, she should be able to easily fight against a peak-level Dao Palace demon beast without using internal or external force.

Not only his physical body, but Ye Liuyun's soul strength also increased.

Just like that, one night passed.

The next day, early in the morning, before Ye Liuyun had even come out, he heard a simple, honest voice coming from outside.

No need to think about it, it must be Nangong Ba.

"Brother-in-law, come out quickly. We'll take you somewhere to have a good spar. Don't refuse today," Nangong Ba shouted.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun, who was in the side room, immediately sighed, opened his eyes, and walked out of the room.

Just as Ye Liuyun was about to say something, Ye Ninglu flew out of the room and landed in front of the two of them.

"I say, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, why do you insist on sparring with my brother? Is it necessary? What if he gets hurt?" Ye Ninglu asked with a displeased expression.

"Oh dear, sister-in-law, so what if you're injured? You're a grown man, and a cultivator at that. What's a little injury? Besides, our Nangong family has plenty of top-quality healing pills. It'll be fine," Nangong Ba said.

“That’s right, sister-in-law. We know what’s important and won’t go too far. Anyway, Brother Yun promised me last night that even if it’s not possible today, he should at least give me a definite time. Otherwise, if Brother Yun suddenly leaves, wouldn’t I be very upset?” Nangong Ao said seriously.

Ye Ninglu had a toothache, but just then, Ye Liuyun spoke up.

"Sister, I will definitely keep my promise. Don't worry, it's alright. Besides, it's been a long time since I've fought anyone since the Nanling Grand Gathering," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Since Ye Liuyun had already said so, Ye Ninglu couldn't very well continue to stop him.

"Alright, where do you plan to make your move? Do these foreign tribes have a suitable place?" Ye Ninglu asked.

But Nangong Ba just chuckled.

“Sister-in-law, you don’t know, but the ancestors know about my brother-in-law’s situation. They made an exception and allowed him to enter our inner clan. All the members of our inner clan want to see his skills, so we can go to the inner clan’s martial arts hall to spar,” Nangong Ba explained.

This decision by the inner clan surprised Ye Ninglu somewhat, as it was unprecedented.

"In that case, I'm relieved." Ye Ninglu breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt at ease because the inner clan's martial arts training hall had elders specifically looking after the members, preventing them from fighting too fiercely. If they noticed that one side was losing, they would immediately intervene to stop it.

And so, Ye Liuyun, along with Ye Ninglu and Nangong Ba, prepared to head towards the inner clan.

However, there was an awkward situation when they went there, because they could only fly there. This was to separate the inner tribe from the outer tribe, and people from the outer tribe could not go to the inner tribe.

"Hey? Brother-in-law, I heard that body cultivators can't fly, right? Come on, I'll carry you there." As soon as they left the courtyard, they planned to fly over, but Nangong Ba remembered that body cultivators couldn't fly.

This is a record and description in an ancient book, but he cannot confirm its authenticity.

“No need for you, Uncle. Liuyun, I’ll take you there,” Ye Ninglu said.

But Ye Liuyun shook his head.

"Sister, no need, I have my own way." With that, Ye Liuyun took the Wind Wing Pill, then leaped hundreds of feet, absorbing the air currents from the high altitude, and condensed a pair of azure wings.

"Huh? What? What kind of technique is this?" Nangong Ba and the others were stunned.

The three of them quickly took flight and arrived at Ye Liuyun's side.

"Liu Yun, what kind of tricks are you using?" Ye Ninglu asked curiously.

"Haha, it's just a pill, it doesn't have any other effects. It can absorb the power of wind and condense wings. Alright, let's go." Ye Liuyun laughed.

Nangong Ba was taken aback; they had never heard of such a pill before, but they didn't ask any further questions.

And so Ye Liuyun followed the three of them, flying towards the cliff behind the Nangong family, and then traversing a section of cliffside terrain to reach another mountain peak, where there was a hidden cave.

After flying into the mountain cave, they arrived at a teleportation gate, which was the teleportation array leading to the inner clan.

Nangong Ba first took out a token to open the teleportation array, and then took Ye Liuyun across.

After passing through, they found themselves in a completely different world, as if they had entered another world altogether.

This is a space with abundant spiritual energy. It is very large as far as the eye can see, and there are cultivators coming and going everywhere in the sky, as well as buildings all over the mountains and plains.

This place is the true core area of ​​the Nangong family, and also the ancestral home of the Nangong family.

This place was established by the patriarch of the Nangong family, who was also a saint of the Nirvana Secret Realm and is currently one of the most important figures in the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

Chapter 404 Rematch with Nangong Ao (4500 words + 1800 monthly votes bonus chapter)

Seeing the scene before him, Ye Liuyun was slightly amazed; this was quite a grand gesture.

According to Lin Qingyou's explanation, this place is an independent space created by using the power of laws to intercept a piece of space and incorporate it into one's own use.

Of course, the Tang Kingdom's space is the real small world, because it was also a space region extracted from the Divine Continent using similar methods, and it possesses relatively complete laws.

This level of space can already be called a small world, while the Nangong World can only be called an independent space.

This is why it is always said that the Nine Heavens Holy Land is the absolute ruler of the Tang Kingdom.

Because this world is private, the Nine Heavens Holy Land can decide the fate of any human or demon within this space.

However, this space was not created out of thin air; it is part of the Divine Continent. The so-called intercepted space is, to use a vivid analogy...

It's like using immense magical power to create a shield and then cover a certain area of ​​space.

Therefore, this space also hides many unknown secrets, and the Demon Emperor's Tomb in the Black Wind Mountains is one of them.

"Brother-in-law, this is the inner clan of our Nangong family, an independent space constructed by our ancestor using great supernatural powers," Nangong Ba proudly introduced.

Ye Liuyun nodded.

"It truly is a great supernatural power. Neither the Cloud Sect nor the Supreme Response Sect possesses such strength," Ye Liuyun remarked.

“That’s natural. If it were in its heyday, the Nine Heavens Holy Land would be the ruler of the Tang Kingdom, and our four great families would be one of the administrators of the Tang Kingdom. It’s just a pity that after countless years, our four great families are not as good as they used to be. Perhaps our actual combat strength is not as good as the Supreme Response Sect, but if we talk about our foundation, our Nangong family can leave the Supreme Response Sect far behind.” Nangong Ao also said.

Ye Liuyun did not deny this point. Then the four of them took off again and flew towards the largest building area of ​​the inner clan, which was the core area of ​​the inner clan, equivalent to the main area of ​​the sect.

As Ye Liuyun and his group approached the core area, Nangong Hui, who was already waiting at the entrance, quickly spoke to some elders behind him.

"Ancestor, the people have arrived."

Behind Nangong Hui stood a group of people of varying ages, but the leader was an elderly man who looked very old.

This person is the current patriarch of the Nangong family. The patriarch's position in the Nangong family is equivalent to that of Yunyan in the Yunxia Sect. He is the holder of the highest power. Then there are some elders, and finally the current patriarch and the current elders.

Nangong Zheng, Nangong Lingtian, and others were also here. Last night's battle was indeed not enough, so they were determined to see the inner clan to their heart's content today.

"Greetings, Clan Chief and all Elders. We have brought our brother-in-law, oh no, we have brought our younger brother Liuyun," Nangong Ba introduced.

As soon as Ye Liuyun landed, everyone's eyes fell on her. They wanted to see what was so special about the man of this goddess of the Supreme Response Sect.

Unfortunately, even they couldn't figure out anything from Ye Liuyun. After all, even Ancestor Tianyi couldn't figure it out, so how could they?

The patriarch of the Nangong family was only at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul realm, and his lifespan was nearing its end.

"Liuyun, this is the patriarch of our Nangong family. Call him Grandpa Patriarch," Ye Ninglu introduced to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately bowed to the old man in a respectful yet humble manner.

"Ye Liuyun greets the clan chief."

Chief Nangong chuckled.

"No need for formalities. Normally, outsiders are not allowed to enter the inner clan of the Nangong family. However, your identity is rather special. In addition, we heard that you defeated Nangong Ba yesterday and even knocked Nangong Ao away with one punch. The young people of the inner clan have become very interested in you."

"So after our discussion, we decided to let you in and have a good match with these youngsters. You don't need to feel pressured. Our Nangong family has been passed down for countless years, and we won't hold a grudge against others because of a single defeat. Just go all out later," the Nangong patriarch said kindly.

Ye Liuyun nodded, but was also a little puzzled. If it was just a simple sparring match, there seemed to be no need to make such a big fuss. Ye Liuyun felt that the Nangong family might have other intentions.
