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

With so many people having objections, Yun Cheng was in a bit of a headache and could only turn his attention to the four sect leaders on the high platform.

Yun Yun thought for a moment, then looked at the other three.

"What do you three sect leaders think?" Yun Yun asked.

Zilan spoke first.

“I think it’s strange, and a bit illogical, but it’s odd for an alchemist to fight someone head-on. For example, I’ve exempted the new alchemy disciples of our Zixia Sect from all kinds of assessments, since their role isn’t in combat. So I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this little girl,” Zi Lan said.

Although this woman has a bad temper, she seems to be reasonable.

"I think so too. I think it's reasonable." The Sect Master of Yanchen also felt that Ye Liuyun had no problem.

All three sects expressed their opinions, and even though Sect Master Xixia was unhappy, she could only swallow her anger.

"Sigh! Since that's the case, then let's just say she won." Sect Master Yuri nodded helplessly.

Thus, the four sect leaders ruled that Ye Liuyun had won.

In fact, Ye Liuyun's physical strength was enough to defeat the guy in front of her, but she didn't want to reveal that her physical cultivation was stronger than her spiritual cultivation.

This creates the illusion that she is weak in combat.

Chapter 81 The Departure of Men

Upon hearing that the four sect leaders had declared him the winner, Ye Liuyun immediately walked up to the Xixia Sect disciple with a smile.

This person was very dissatisfied with the result.

"Eh? Senior brother, it's not that I, your junior sister, intended to insult you. Rather, as an alchemist, I certainly couldn't win against you without the help of pills. So, I can only apologize. This is a special healing medicine I made; it should heal the burn on your right hand immediately," Ye Liuyun said with a gentle smile.

The Xixia Sect disciple was initially furious, but upon seeing Ye Liuyun's innocent and gentle tone, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Alright, thank you, Junior Sister." The man used his power to draw the pill from Ye Liuyun's hand, then turned and left.

He had really lost face this time and didn't want to stay there anymore. Besides, the burns on his hands were really painful, so he needed to find a place to get them treated quickly.

After the man left, Ye Liuyun patted his abdomen, and the next moment, he forced the fiery red pill out of his stomach and spat it into his hand.

"Phew! This is really uncomfortable. I might as well just force it out. Anyway, the medicinal effects are almost worn off." Ye Liuyun glanced at the dull pill and then crushed it.

This steam potion is not something an ordinary person's body can withstand; while releasing a large amount of heat, it will also make the user uncomfortable.

However, Ye Liuyun had already experienced too much discomfort and pain caused by pills, so he had become numb to it.

"Interesting. This pill can actually be forced out of her body. The moment the pill was forced out, all the heat on her body disappeared. I wonder what kind of pill this little girl is refining." Yun Che was slightly curious about Ye Liuyun's pill.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's ridiculous victory, Lin Aoxue kept suppressing a laugh.

"Junior Sister Lin, your sister is truly an interesting girl. She has a kind personality and is also an alchemist. I really want to get to know her. Could you introduce us?"

Just as Lin Aoxue was finding Ye Liuyun ridiculous, a voice that made her very unhappy came to her ears. The voice was like the buzzing of a fly, which immediately made Lin Aoxue uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Qi, my sister has the same personality as me; she doesn't like interacting with strangers, so I'm afraid I can't help you with that," Lin Aoxue replied calmly.

Upon hearing the conversation between the two, Yun Yun immediately frowned. She felt that she should let Lin Aoxue leave the sect to cultivate outside as soon as possible, otherwise she would inevitably have a conflict with Qi Chaoying sooner or later.

"Is that so? That's a real shame," Qi Chaoying replied calmly.

To be honest, Lin Aoxue had never seen such an annoying person. It wasn't just Qi Chaoying; she felt that among the cultivators who returned from Yunzong, apart from Yun Che, everyone else had an arrogant attitude.

Ye Liuyun successfully advanced to the next round and then left the stage. Lin Aoxue didn't want to stand with Qi Chaoying, so she told Yunyun and went to Ye Liuyun's place.

"Hey! You're something else, winning like that. I wonder how many more weird pills you have." Lin Aoxue asked with a smile as soon as she came over.

When Ye Liuyun saw Lin Aoxue coming over, he immediately found a quiet corner with her and sat down.

“There are many types, but some pills can only be used by myself. Otherwise, I would have given you a whole basket of them for self-defense,” Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Sitting so close to Ye Liuyun, Lin Aoxue felt that Ye Liuyun was acting strangely today, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was different.

"Hey! What's wrong with you today?" Lin Aoxue asked, squinting at Ye Liuyun.

No change in Ye Liuyun could be hidden from her, although some changes were subtle and likely internal.

"Huh? Me? What's wrong with me?" Ye Liuyun was a little confused by Lin Aoxue's words.

Lin Aoxue was even more confused when she heard Ye Liuyun say that.

"Strange, I feel like something's off about you today, but I can't quite put my finger on it, what's wrong with you?" Lin Aoxue asked, staring intently at Ye Liuyun.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun quickly realized what Lin Aoxue was sensing. She probably felt that the original male Ye Liuyun was gradually drifting away from her.

Because the moment Ye Liuyun learned that he could no longer turn back into a man, it was essentially the same as saying goodbye to the past. Once he stopped resisting and struggling with his current identity, from that moment on, there was only the female Ye Liuyun, no longer the male Ye Liuyun. The male Ye Liuyun could only exist in the memories of the two of them.

This is definitely a major change in a person's life.

However, Ye Liuyun did not intend to tell Lin Aoxue about this. Even if Lin Aoxue eventually found out that she could not turn back, she would definitely not care after a long time.

"You see, I seem to have a problem with everything I do. Don't overthink it," Ye Liuyun quickly changed the subject.

Lin Aoxue was taken aback, then looked at the arena and said.

"Okay, maybe I'm just imagining things. By the way, you really need to be careful of that Qi Chaoying. I've noticed he seems to be getting more and more interested in you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun glanced at Qi Chaoying on the high platform in the distance. This guy had been staring at her and Lin Aoxue, especially at her. From the moment she entered, his gaze had never left her.

She needs to make plans soon; she can't delay any longer.

Today we're eliminating half the participants, tomorrow we'll eliminate another half, and the day after tomorrow we'll hold a ranking competition for 100 people.

After today's match, Ye Liuyun went to the medicinal herb market alone to look for the herbs he needed.

Because some medicinal herbs are not commonly used, and whether they are suitable or not, Ye Liuyun needs to see them to know.

Unfortunately, Ye Liuyun only found a few herbs at the herb market, and couldn't find suitable ones for some others. So she went to the alchemy pavilion to ask Yunxiao and Nalan Yan if they had the herbs she wanted.

"Oh? Herbs with a cold and yin nature? I should have some in my personal collection, but I can't give them to you for free," Yunxiao said with a smile after hearing Ye Liuyun's purpose.

Ye Liuyun didn't intend to take it for free.

"Alright, then Elder, what price do you need me to pay?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

Yunxiao thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and said solemnly.

"Ye girl, I hope you can give my disciple some pointers on alchemy. I know your alchemy skills are definitely extraordinary and far superior to ours. Among the disciples who have returned this time, there are several who are skilled in alchemy. If no one keeps them in check, the control of the Alchemy Pavilion will change hands sooner or later." Yunxiao stated his conditions.

Indeed, among the Yunxia Sect cultivators who returned this time, several have been assigned to the Alchemy Pavilion. One has become the deputy pavilion master of the Alchemy Pavilion, and several others have become personal disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion, which means they have shared Yunxiao's power.

After hearing Yunxiao's words, Ye Liuyun understood what he meant. She did not refuse because she couldn't refuse; helping Yunxiao and the others was equivalent to helping Lin Aoxue.

“Alright, I can give Senior Sister Nalan a little guidance,” Ye Liuyun agreed.

Yunxiao laughed when he heard this. His alchemy talent was not as good as Nalan Yan's, nor was his cultivation talent. He was destined to have little room for improvement, so he might as well place his hopes on his disciple.

Chapter 82 Glowing Princess

After the two reached a deal, Yunxiao waved his hand and took out all the cold medicinal herbs he had collected.

Ye Liuyun immediately glanced at it. The medicinal herbs that Yunxiao had collected were definitely not ordinary herbs. Yunxiao had taken out more than twenty kinds of cold and yin herbs, all of which were not circulated in the market, or more accurately, were not commonly used.

“Yin Marrow Flower, Three-Patterned Mysterious Ice Grass…” Ye Liuyun smiled after just one glance, because the medicinal herbs Yunxiao had taken out were exactly what she needed.

So Ye Liuyun pointed out the medicinal herbs he needed, and Yunxiao readily gave them to Ye Liuyun.

"Thank you, Elder." Ye Liuyun expressed his gratitude and then put the medicinal herbs away.

"Well, it's just a transaction. You can come and see Yan'er whenever you have time. I don't expect you to improve her alchemy skills too much, just enough to surpass those returnees," Yunxiao said.

Ye Liuyun nodded, then turned and left. When he returned to his residence, he took out all the medicinal herbs he had collected.

"Yes, it's all set. Now we just need to wait for the competition to end and find some time to refine it. By the way, Master, you shouldn't pass on the alchemy techniques you taught me to Senior Sister Nalan, right?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"Of course, don't worry, I'll have my own way of improving this little girl's alchemy skills," Lin Qingyou said with a smile.

With Lin Qingyou's words, Ye Liuyun felt relieved.

However, just as the two were talking, a commotion suddenly came from outside the door, as if something had broken into Ye Liuyun's courtyard.

"Huh? What's that noise?" Ye Liuyun was taken aback, then quickly opened the door and went out.

However, as soon as Ye Liuyun opened the door, she saw a monkey squatting in front of her reborn peach tree sapling.

Isn't this the same mischievous monkey that stole female disciples' clothes within the sect? It actually came here to Ye Liuyun.

"Is it you, you monkey? What are you doing here? I'm warning you, stay away from me, or don't blame me for being impolite." Ye Liuyun knew this monkey's background.

During this period, the female disciples dared not leave their clothes at their residences, and instead put them all into their storage space to carry with them.

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun speak, the monkey merely glanced at him intently before scaling the wall, passing through Ye Liuyun's protective barrier, and disappearing into the night.

"What? Damn it, did this monkey eat my pills and gain some strange ability? How can it freely enter and exit our protective formation? And just now it was eyeing my spirit peach tree?" Ye Liuyun became somewhat worried.

She was worried that the monkey would damage her peach sapling.

“Your pills are all strange, so it’s not surprising that they’ve gained some special abilities. The most obvious example so far is those two strange birds. Their ability should be to see through the emotions between men and women,” Lin Qingyou said.

Indeed, those two strange birds are the most peculiar and bizarre of all the mutated animals.

Now let's talk about Lin Aoxue. She was meditating in her residence, but for some reason, her consciousness suddenly fell into a dream.

What kind of dream did she have? She dreamt of Ye Liuyun from her past life, who was saying goodbye to her and then gradually disappeared into the darkness.

This feeling was exactly the same as the feeling Lin Aoxue had experienced from Ye Liuyun during the day.

Lin Aoxue suddenly opened her eyes, waking up from her meditative state. This feeling of unease made it difficult for her to fully enter a meditative state.

She glanced around, then got out of bed and walked to the window.

"What does the drifting cloud mean? Is it telling me that it can never come back?" Lin Aoxue murmured to herself.

Lin Aoxue's reaction was as if she had a telepathic connection with Ye Liuyun.

Although she was mentally prepared, seeing her man becoming more and more womanly every day still made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Of course, her distress stemmed from worrying about Ye Liuyun, and whether she could fully accept this new identity if she truly couldn't revert back.

After all, we should always consider the worst-case scenario in such situations so that we can prepare accordingly.

Soon, the next day arrived.

In today's draw, Ye Liuyun drew a number that was near the top: number eight.

So after the first three rounds, it was Ye Liuyun's turn to take the stage. As soon as everyone saw Ye Liuyun, they all looked on with curiosity, wanting to see what kind of pill Ye Liuyun would use to win this time.

Ye Liuyun's opponent was another late-stage Spirit Stream Realm cultivator. By today's round, the weakest among them were all late-stage Spirit Stream Realm cultivators. However, the opponent he encountered today was one of his own.

There's no way around it, the Yunxia Sect has just too many disciples.

"Eh? Junior Sister Ye, I didn't expect to run into you. Don't use that kind of pill on your senior brother today, okay? Be a little gentler, please." The Yunxia Sect disciple who went up on stage said awkwardly.

Ye Liuyun can definitely satisfy this requirement.

"No problem, let's start the competition. I promise I won't let you get hurt in the slightest," Ye Liuyun promised.

Upon hearing this, the Yunxia Sect disciple breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Yuncheng.

After seeing that the two were ready, Yuncheng stepped back and left the arena.

"Number 7 vs. Number 8, the match begins," Yuncheng announced.

As Yun Cheng finished speaking, Ye Liuyun swallowed a golden, shimmering pill.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun did not attack, the Yunxia Sect disciple began to gather spiritual power and unleashed a sword strike from a distance. Although disciples of the Spirit Stream Realm cannot use spiritual power for attacks in large quantities, it is not a big problem to do it occasionally.

He learned from the lesson of the Xixia Sect disciple yesterday and did not rashly approach Ye Liuyun.

The sword energy, imbued with spiritual power, flew towards Ye Liuyun, but unfortunately, Ye Liuyun easily dodged it.

Ye Liuyun could easily dodge such an attack with his speed.

After dodging the attack, Ye Liuyun immediately shouted at the Yunxia Sect disciple.

"Be careful, senior brother." After reminding him, Ye Liuyun leaped six or seven zhang and flew into the air.

The next moment, Ye Liuyun's body, like a light bulb, flashed a few times with white light, and finally burst out with an extremely dazzling stream of light, which instantly deprived everyone present of their sight.

"Take this, Solar Fist!" Ye Liuyun shouted out a move from a certain comic book in his previous life, in a very chuunibyou way.

"Ah... what is this, my eyes."

The surrounding disciples screamed in agony. Only those cultivators at the Dao Palace level managed to block the light energy with their power the moment they noticed the blinding white light.

However, those disciples at the Sea of ​​Wheels realm were unlucky. Although the attack wasn't targeted at them, the light was just too bright.
