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

"I'm leaving," Ye Ninglu said, looking annoyed.

Nangong Ya, who was initially very happy, was stunned upon hearing this.

"What? He's gone? Why? Sister-in-law, why didn't you and brother ask Brother Yun to stay with us a little longer? He came yesterday and he's leaving today?" Nangong Ya complained after a moment of stunned silence.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ninglu almost fell silent. "Isn't it all because of what kind of mess you guys are up to behind the scenes that drove people away? If you hadn't been so scheming, I could have stayed with my brother for a few more days."

However, Nangong Hui was well aware of the prelude to Ye Ninglu's outburst, so he quickly and precisely intercepted her words before she could erupt.

“Ahem, Xiaoya, how dare you speak to your sister-in-law like that? Your brother Yun has his own things to do. He just happened to come to our house. He said he had something to do and had to leave, so your sister-in-law and I naturally couldn’t stop him,” Nangong Hui said.

Upon hearing Nangong Hui's words, Nangong Ya immediately stomped her foot in anger and turned to leave.

"Hey? Auntie, what's wrong? Who made you angry?" Nangong Mufeng and his sister came over as well.

They had just witnessed their uncle's impressive display of power within the inner clan, and feeling incredibly proud, they decided to come and have a chat with Ye Liuyun.

"Hmph! Your father and your mother." Nangong Ya retorted to the two of them, then returned to her clan.

This puzzled Nangong Mufeng and his companion.

They hurried inside, where Nangong Hui was trying to calm Ye Ninglu down. He knew that the Nangong family had done wrong, and he could only do his best to appease Ye Ninglu.

"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with Aunt? She said you two offended her. What happened? And where's Uncle?" As soon as the two entered, they sensed that the atmosphere in the room was strange.

When Ye Ninglu saw her children coming over, she calmed down a bit.

"Your uncle had to leave first. Where did you two run off to? Oh!" Ye Ninglu said.

"Huh? They left without waiting for us? They could have at least waited for us to come back before leaving. We only chatted with them for a few minutes with the inner clan." Nangong Mufeng and Nangong Muyu's expressions immediately fell.

But there's no use saying all this now, Ye Liuyun has already left, and Nangong Lingtian and the others soon found out.

Without even thinking, they knew that Nangong Hui must have told others about their arrangements, and Ye Liuyun, fearing trouble, simply left.

"This, your good son, how can you be so biased towards outsiders? And this Ye Ninglu, she's been in our Nangong family for decades, can't she think about her own family's future?" Shang Haihui didn't know what to say.

But getting angry now won't do any good.

"Forget it, forget it, the person is already gone, why say so much? I'll just report to Father and the others that the Ye family boy ran away." Nangong Lingtian had no other choice.

The person has already left; they can't possibly run out and chase after them to bring them back, can they?

Looking again, Ye Liuyun had already returned to her female form, sitting on Liusu's back, and flying towards the Eastern Wilderness. This was her itinerary.

First, go from the Southern Ridge to the Eastern Wilderness, then to the Northern Plains, then from the Northern Plains to the Western Sichuan, and finally from the Western Sichuan to the Central Plains.

There are two routes from Nanling to Donghuang. One route is the official road of the secular world. This official road requires entering Zhongzhou first and then detouring around the edge of Zhongzhou to reach Donghuang, which is a waste of time.

There is another route, the shortest but the most risky: to cut through Tian Duan Ridge in the Southern Ridge. This is the fastest route, and only cultivators can possibly pass through it, but the risk factor is extremely high.

However, Ye Liuyun didn't want to go through the mundane world. Anyway, she wanted to find a place to upgrade her commonly used pills. It just so happened that Tian Duan Ridge was the territory of demon beasts. She might restrain herself from harming humans, but she had no psychological pressure to harm demons.

Moreover, she also wanted to try a different identity, otherwise, wouldn't that demon-transforming pill have been wasted?

Part of Tian Duan Ridge is in the Southern Region and part is in the Northern Region. From the Southern Region, one can enter through the Yunhai Mountain Range or the Liuyang Mountain Range. After some thought, Ye Liuyun decided to enter Tian Duan Ridge through the Liuyang Mountain Range.

At her current speed, she quickly arrived at the familiar Liuyang Mountains.

"Oh dear, I'm back in this place again," Ye Liuyun sighed.

After sighing, she said to Fan Ling.

"Fan Ling, you might have to make do for a while. You can go into the pet carrier and keep Hei Niu and the others company."

Upon hearing this, Fan Ling immediately put on a mournful face again.

"What? Master, are you treating me like a pet?" Fan Ling felt very aggrieved.

“The problem is, you’re not exactly human, are you? If you were human, you wouldn’t be able to fit in a pet carrier,” Ye Liuyun said.

Indeed, it's impossible for a person to fit into a pet carrier, but Ye Liuyun had tried it before. Not to mention a pet carrier, even a storage bag could fit Fan Ling inside. She's completely different from Yan Yu and the others.

"Okay." Fan Ling had no choice but to nod.

After saying that, Ye Liuyun chuckled and took Fan Ling away.

As soon as they entered the pet space, Black Bull and the others started joking around.

"Oh, Master's pet has arrived," Black Bull said with a chuckle.

This sentence almost choked Fan Ling to death.

"You stinking donkey, shut up! You're just a mount, what are you so arrogant about?" Fan Ling said angrily, her face flushed.

"Hey, yes, I'm the mount, I'm honorable, at least I can carry my master. You, on the other hand, are just a useless follower." This donkey is also cheeky; birds of a feather flock together, really.

"Alright, alright, what's all the arguing about?" Liu Su opened her mouth and spoke in human language, stopping the argument between the man and the donkey.

Upon hearing this, Black Bull chuckled, then walked up to Liu Su and said in a cheeky tone.

"Hehe, Sister Liusu, when we both transform into human form, let's become a couple. You are the master's flying mount, and I am the master's walking mount. How well-matched we are!"

Upon hearing this, Liusu immediately raised her claws and swiped them on the black ox's rump.

The sudden attack from the tassel caused Black Bull to beg for mercy in pain.

"Ouch, ouch, be gentle, be gentle, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Tch! Serves you right, you worthless donkey." Fan Ling was overjoyed to see Black Bull get his comeuppance.

Fan Ling ignored the two of them and walked over to Bai Lin and Jin Chen. Those two little guys basically slept all day long.

"Hehe, Bai Lin, does Jin Chen need any service?" Fan Ling asked.

Jin Chen and Bai Lin opened their eyes, glanced at Fan Ling, and then let out a howl, which was taken as their agreement.

After getting their consent, Fan Ling immediately picked up the two little ones and started petting them. When the two little ones were bored in Bixia Valley, they would have Fan Ling serve them, as they really enjoyed being petted.

Looking at Ye Liuyun outside, after taking them away, Ye Liuyun activated the Demon Transformation Pill, gradually transforming into a small white snake, and then burrowed into the Six Yang Mountains.

This experience is quite unique. If before it was like playing a role-playing game, now it's like experiencing the living habits of monsters.

After Ye Liuyun transformed into a white snake, she moved freely in the forest, and she could clearly sense where there were demonic beasts and people, and she could clearly sense the scent in the air.

Another point is that it feels like the whole world has become bigger, and the original grass has turned into a forest.

The insects she encountered on the road had also become enormous. As she crawled along, Ye Liuyun came across a swarm of ants, which looked very strange to her now.

These ants are ganging up on a beetle; the fight is fierce, bloody, and cruel.

However, when you are human, you cannot understand what insects and wild animals are thinking. They also have their own language, but it is not like snakes, and Ye Liuyun cannot understand it either. However, he can tell what they are expressing based on their body movements.

It was quite amazing; Ye Liuyun felt very happy, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

Having traveled an unknown distance, Ye Liuyun encountered another type of snake, a green grass snake that seemed to be much larger than Ye Liuyun at present.

Upon discovering Ye Liuyu, the grass snake immediately approached with interest. However, Ye Liuyu seemed to have an instinctive feeling, as if he knew what the green snake wanted to do, so he immediately spoke up to warn it.

"Get out of here."

As soon as Ye Liuyun spoke, the white snake breathed on the green snake, but the green snake was quite bold and still came closer.

Ye Liuyun could no longer tolerate this. Her body began to grow larger, and soon she transformed from a small white snake into a white python.

The green snake was momentarily stunned. It hadn't expected that the little white snake was actually a demon beast, so it took off running. However, Ye Liuyun seemed very dissatisfied with the green snake's provocative behavior and had no intention of letting it go.

She opened her mouth and sucked, and the little green snake was swallowed whole by the white python.

"What a reckless snake! Eh? After eating this guy, I feel like my demonic power has increased slightly. Master, do you know what's going on?" Ye Liuyun hurriedly asked Lin Qingyou.

After transforming into a monster, Ye Liuyun swallowed the copper ring into his stomach. Monsters have a storage space inside their bodies where they can store things.

"Isn't this normal? Monsters cultivate by eating. The more they eat, the stronger they become. You don't think monsters cultivate like humans, do you?" Lin Qingyou asked rhetorically.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun became interested.

"Really? Since the two forces can be converted into each other, if I use my demon beast body to devour demon beasts and improve my cultivation, will it also indirectly increase the strength of my human body?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

"I don't know about that. You can try it yourself, after all, this is a pill you developed yourself." Lin Qingyou couldn't guarantee that.

Ye Liuyun chuckled. She was a woman of action, so she started looking for a target. However, she was currently emitting the demonic aura of a mid-stage Dao Palace cultivator, and the little demons around her would hide far away as soon as they saw her.

In the Liuyang Mountain Range area, the mid-stage Dao Palace demonic beasts are very strong.

"Such a strong demonic aura! Run! It's a demonic beast at the Dao Palace level!" Ye Liuyun encountered many human cultivators while searching for his target.

However, these human cultivators turned tail and ran as soon as they saw Ye Liuyun.

Seeing them run away, Ye Liuyun inexplicably felt the urge to tease them, so he chased after the fleeing cultivators at the Sea of ​​Wheels Realm.

"Oh my god, senior brother, that snake demon is catching up! We're doomed, we're all going to die!" The strongest of the cultivators was only at the Spirit Sea Realm. Facing a Dao Palace-level demon beast like Ye Liuyun, they were sure to die if they were caught.

"Damn it, how can there be such powerful demonic beasts on the outskirts? What bad luck! Let's split up and run away, every one of us who escapes is one less to worry about," said the leader of the Spirit Sea cultivators.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Ye Liuyun suddenly exhaled a breath of extremely cold demonic energy. This demonic energy spread towards them instantly, and these people did not have time to dodge. They were frozen by the demonic energy. Of course, Ye Liuyun did not kill them. He just trapped them and left their heads outside.

"Spare us, Senior Snake! We are just a few lowly cultivators who strayed into your territory by mistake. Please forgive us!" Seeing that they were trapped and unable to escape, these people could only beg for mercy. They knew that the snake demon could definitely hear them.

Ye Liuyun chuckled.

"That won't do. Since we've run into you, we'll naturally have to eat you up, even if you're just a little bit. Every little bit counts," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

As a mid-stage Dao Palace level demon beast, she could naturally speak human language.

"No, no, no! We're all bones, we're not tasty at all! Your voice is so beautiful, you must be a beautiful snake, please spare us!" a female cultivator hurriedly said.

Ye Liuyun was practically dying of laughter inside. It felt like he was a kid on Earth, pretending to be a ghost to scare his friends.

"Oh, I love hearing that. Fine, I'll spare your lives today since I'm in a good mood. This Six Yang Mountains is very dangerous, so don't wander off, hahaha." Ye Liuyun was just trying to scare them.

After scaring them, she left immediately, and the chill emanating from them vanished as soon as she left.

The group of people were completely stunned.

"This? It's gone already? I feel like this snake is playing with us?" the cultivator at the Spirit Sea Realm muttered in bewilderment.

"Of course! If she wasn't just teasing us, she probably would have eaten us whole. Let's hurry up and get out of here. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." They all felt like they had escaped a disaster.

And so, a day passed. On the second day, Ye Liuyun arrived at the Wind-Weeping Rain Forest. The feeling of this place was truly wonderful. Arriving here in his demon form gave him a sense of a wild beast returning to nature, which made him feel happy.

Ye Liuyun didn't want to refine medicine; she planned to go and take a look at the location of the treehouse she and Lin Aoxue had built.

"It's so refreshing! This place is practically a paradise for snakes." Ye Liuyun felt great as soon as he entered; the humid air felt like taking a bath in water.

Moreover, wherever she went, the crocodiles and swamp snakes around her would stay as far away as possible and dared not approach Ye Liuyun at all.

Chapter 408 Lin Aoxue's Troubles (6000 words)

Meanwhile, let's talk about Lin Aoxue. Actually, when she came to see Ye Liuyun a few days ago, she didn't tell the truth.

She didn't greet Ye Liuyun because she was going into seclusion to study the cultivation technique, and she said that she might not be able to meet him for a while. That wasn't the reason at all.

In reality, it was because the Taishang Ganying Sect opened the Taixu Secret Realm once every hundred years. This Taixu Secret Realm is the place where the founder of the Taishang Ganying Sect, the Taixu Saint, achieved Nirvana and sainthood.

Located in the Taixu Mountain Range within the Tiandao Mountains, this place was enclosed by the power of the laws of the Taixu Saint after he attained sainthood, and transformed into a secret realm. This place can be said to be the greatest secret of the Taishang Ganying Sect.

Inside are items that claim to be from a realm that has existed for many years, containing numerous rare medicinal herbs, as well as various cultivation techniques and treasures collected by the Taishang Ganying Sect over the past ten thousand years.

However, when the Sage Taixu established this place, he created an independent law and order. Anything sent inside must undergo the test of the secret realm's laws to be taken out.

This place is different from the trials of the Southern Ridge Gathering. This place is extremely risky. In short, although the treasures are good, you need to be famous and have good fortune to get them.

It shouldn't be a problem for Lin Aoxue to become the peak master of the Heavenly Dao Peak of the Supreme Response Sect, but if she really wants to take the position of the next leader of the Supreme Response Sect, she not only needs to gain the approval of the previous leader, but also needs to follow the rules of the Supreme Response Sect and go through the normal procedures.

What does this normal procedure mean? First of all, theoretically speaking, all disciples of the current lineages of the Taishang Ganying Sect are qualified to become the next successor of the sect leader.

Therefore, the goddess of the Supreme Response Sect can only be considered as the successor bestowed by the Heavenly Dao Peak. What does that mean? It means that this identity is currently the one that Ancestor Tianyi openly tells the Southern Ridge cultivation world: I want to choose Lin Aoxue as my successor.

This is her right as the current leader of the cult; she has the right to designate a successor.

However, whether this successor can actually take her place still depends on going through a process, and there are more than one process involved.

To join the Tai Shang Gan Ying Sect normally, one must first obtain the status of a core disciple of the sect, then participate in the Tai Shang Gan Ying Sect's once-in-a-century Tai Xu Trial, and then obtain the core inheritance of the Tai Shang Gan Ying Sect hidden in the Tai Xu Secret Realm during the Tai Xu Trial.

Obtaining the core inheritance is equivalent to gaining the qualification to compete for the next generation of sect leader successor. Such disciples are called seeds. The Yun Sect's seed faction imitates the Taishang Ganying Sect.

After you obtain the identity of the seed, the next step is to obtain the identity of the goddess or the god's son, but this identity is currently in Lin Aoxue's possession.

In other words, they must challenge Lin Aoxue and defeat her to obtain this identity.

There's also the challenge of challenging goddesses and goddesses, but it's not something you can just do whenever you want. Next, there's something even more dangerous: you need to accumulate merit points to improve your cultivation.

According to the rules of the Taishang Ganying Sect, to challenge the divine sons and daughters, one must reach the Transformation Realm and also be prepared to earn one million merit points.

This one million contribution must be earned by accepting tasks issued by the Taishang Ganying Sect, which takes time.
