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

Although Ye Fei was confused about the situation, she was certain that she would obey orders without any problem.

Ye Liuyun made himself like this so that he could fool the people of Yunzong and then disappear from their sight in a reasonable way.

Chapter 489 Formal Departure from Yun Sect (6000 words)

Ye Liuyun led Ye Fei into the Yun Sect's territory, and as soon as they entered, they immediately attracted the attention of the Yun Sect disciples passing by.

Putting everything else aside, just look at her magnificent and beautiful mount; even cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm would probably be unable to resist taking a few glances at it.

"What a powerful demonic bird mount! This white bird must be a demonic bird at least at the late stage of the Dao Palace realm, right?" A disciple at the Dao Palace realm exclaimed in surprise as he watched Liu Su fly past them.

"Yes, it's very strong, but that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there seems to be an old woman and a young girl sitting on this demonic bird. The old woman is wearing what looks like the robes of a direct disciple of our Yun Sect," another disciple at the Dao Palace realm reminded him.

This surprised everyone, because they didn't remember the Cloud Sect having such an old personal disciple.

After returning from the Nanling Gathering, Ye Liuyun kept a very low profile. Apart from the higher-ups, no one in the Yun Sect even knew that there was such a person as Ye Liuyun. After being away for a hundred years, even fewer people would remember her.

"What a magnificent sect! Mother, is this your sect? It feels even more impressive than our Spirit Sword Sect," Ye Fei exclaimed, looking at the Cloud Sect's mountain gate.

"Of course, Yun Sect is one of the four major sects in the Southern Region. Naturally, it is not comparable to our Yunduan Sect. However, given time, the scale of our Yunduan Sect will definitely surpass that of Yun Sect. Alright, we've arrived." Ye Liuyun glanced at the entrance of Yun Sect and then gestured for Liusu to go down.

Under the astonished gazes of many Yun Sect disciples, Liu Su landed at the main gate, and Ye Liuyun and Ye Fei jumped off Liu Su's back.

After descending, Liu Su's body flickered and quickly transformed into a beautiful young woman in her early twenties. After all, she had reached the Nascent Soul stage of the Dao Palace, so she could naturally take human form.

"Ah! Returning after a hundred years, I am quite moved. The Cloud Sect seems to have changed little." Ye Liuyun sighed.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Ye Fei. Upon seeing this, Ye Fei quickly walked to Ye Liuyun's side with Liu Su and helped Ye Liuyun into the Yun Sect.

Ye Liuyun's return naturally alarmed the higher-ups of the Yun Sect. The current sect leader of the Yun Sect is no longer Fang Mingyu, but Murong Huan. To be precise, the Yun Sect is now in a phase where Murong Huan and his generation have taken over the positions of the older generation.

Meanwhile, Fang Mingyu and the others retreated to the background, focusing on their cultivation in preparation for breaking through to the Transformation Realm.

There was no other way; the Yun Sect was ultimately a hidden danger because it lacked a Nascent Soul cultivator to oversee it. One of their faction leaders had to step forward and take charge.

Moreover, Murong Huan and the others have already reached the Divine Intent Realm, a level sufficient to take care of the Cloud Sect.

Upon learning of Ye Liuyun's return, Murong Huan immediately went to summon Jiang Yan and the others.

As for Ye Liuyun, she was already sitting in the main hall of the Yun Sect, talking with Murong Huan.

"Senior Brother Murong, it's been many years. I didn't expect you to be the Sect Master of the Cloud Sect. Congratulations on achieving your goal." Ye Liuyun chuckled as he looked at Murong Huan sitting above.

Murong Huan looked at Ye Liuyun with a strange expression.

"Junior Sister Ye, what's your situation now? And what brings you back this time?" Murong Huan asked.

Looking at Murong Huan's eyes, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"This guy must have figured something out, but he's a smart man; he sees through it but doesn't say anything."

"Oh, my lifespan is almost over. I plan to come back, inform the sect, pack up my things in Bixia Valley, and leave Yun Sect," Ye Liuyun replied.

Upon hearing this, Murong Huan looked at Ye Liuyun and smiled thoughtfully.

“Alright, if that’s the case, then so be it, Junior Sister,” Murong Huan replied.

Although Ye Liuyun appeared to be on his deathbed, and according to his divine sense, he was also nearing the end of his lifespan, the aura emanating from Ye Liuyun was exceptionally strong in Murong Huan's eyes, an aura that was not that of an old man.

Soon, Jiang Yan and the others heard that Ye Liuyun had returned, so they all came to the sect's main hall. However, when they arrived at the main hall, they were stunned to see Ye Liuyun, who had completely turned into an old man.

These people are still the same as before, but compared to their youthful impetuosity, they all have a mature and steady demeanor.

"This? Junior Sister Ye, you?" Jiang Yan and the others were speechless when they saw Ye Liuyun like this.

With Ye Fei's help, Ye Liuyun quickly stood up.

"Dear senior brothers and sisters, it's been a hundred years since we last met. How have you all been?" Ye Liuyun greeted Ji Tianjiao and the others with a smile.

Ji Tianjiao and the others were initially very happy to hear that Ye Liuyun had returned, but upon seeing Ye Liuyun's appearance, they became extremely dejected.

"Junior Sister Ye, you... you still haven't broken the lifespan shackles of body cultivators?" Ji Tianjiao walked over and sat down next to Ye Liuyun, feeling somewhat sad.

Ye Liuyun had saved her life back then, so if there was a way, she would definitely want to help Ye Liuyun. But at the moment, they couldn't think of any way, since they had already taken the longevity pill. What else could they do?

"Senior Sister Ji, don't be so discouraged. I don't care anymore," Ye Liuyun said with a calm smile.

Jiang Yan and the others wanted to say something but couldn't bring themselves to. After all, things were like this; what could they possibly say? Saying more would only add to the sadness.

"Alas! It's all about timing and fate. I never expected that the spatial barrier that had been protecting this continent would break just yesterday, allowing this area to return to the Divine Continent. This can be considered an opportunity for my Yun Sect. But Junior Sister Ye, you... sigh!" Jiang Yan sighed heavily.

He had once admired Ye Liuyun, and seeing his former love about to end, he naturally felt somewhat uncomfortable. Ji Chunling and Tantai Mingyue also lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Senior Brother Jiang, don't look so dejected. Isn't that just life? I didn't really need to come back, but I made a promise with the sect back then that I would come back no matter what."

"Besides, I still have some things at my residence, which I plan to have my daughter pack up and take with her. As for returning to the cycle of reincarnation soon," Ye Liuyun said.

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun mention his daughter, everyone turned their attention to the girl beside him.

They were all taken aback when they realized that Ye Fei possessed the Five Elements Spiritual Root.

The Five Elements Spiritual Roots are not scary; what is scary is that Ye Fei actually has the cultivation level of the peak of Core Formation. That is the most terrifying thing.

"She has the same five elements spiritual root as Junior Sister Ye, but she actually cultivated to the Core Formation stage. This is unbelievable."

Murong Huan didn't react much, after all, there were only a few people among them who were close to Ye Liuyun.

“Since that’s the case, Junior Sister Ji, why don’t you take Junior Sister Ye to Bixia Valley to pack your things?” Murong Huan suggested.

Ji Tianjiao nodded, then got up and left the sect's main hall with Ye Liuyun and the others, flying towards Bixia Valley.

After Ye Liuyun and the others left, Tantai Mingyue couldn't help but ask a question.

"Senior Brother Murong, why do you seem so calm? I'm curious, is this Junior Sister Ye really nearing the end of her lifespan?"

This question puzzled Jiang Yan and the others. From their senses, Ye Liuyun was indeed on his deathbed and could pass away at any moment.

"Hehe, is this question important now? Anyway, Junior Sister Ye was originally a hostage left behind by our Yun Sect. Our goal and the sect's goal have been achieved. As for whether Junior Sister Ye lives or dies, whether she stays or leaves, it doesn't matter anymore." Murong Huan didn't say it outright, but he was secretly thinking about it.

He was clearly implying something, but he didn't say it outright, leaving Jiang Yan and the others to figure it out for themselves.

A moment later, at Bixia Valley.

"Ah! I'm finally back. Nothing here has changed," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

"Yes, after you left, this place was sealed off, and no one else is allowed to approach. By the way, this spirit peach tree you planted feels strange." Ji Tianjiao said, stroking her chin as she looked at the light blue peach tree overhead that almost completely obscured Bixia Valley.

Ye Liuyun chuckled.

"Could it have become a spirit?"

"No, that shouldn't be the case. If it were a spirit, we should be able to sense it. Oh, by the way, Junior Sister Ye, who exactly is this girl? Is she really your daughter? Something doesn't feel right, does it?" As she spoke, Ji Tianjiao turned her gaze to Ye Fei.

“She’s an adopted daughter, not my biological daughter,” Ye Liuyun replied.

Ji Tianjiao understood.

"Is that so? Okay, then I'll wait for you outside. By the way, are you leaving Yunzong after you're done packing?" Ji Tianjiao asked.

"Yeah, I'm going to go to the place I've lived in for the past hundred years and bury myself there," Ye Liuyun joked.

Upon hearing this, Ji Tianjiao's mood became even heavier. She sighed softly, then turned and flew away from Bixia Valley.

After Ji Tianjiao left, Ye Liuyun activated the Bixia Valley's formation again, blocking the senses from this place.

The two had talked about some things on the way, and she already knew that the Cloud Sect Ancestor, Li Qianqiu, was no longer there.

"I'm starting to pack up. I wonder what the future holds for the Cloud Sect, since there are no more Nascent Soul cultivators left," Ye Liuyun sighed.

However, Lin Qingyou suddenly spoke up and reminded Ye Liuyun.

"Little girl, the old ancestor of the Yun Sect is not dead yet. I don't know what the Yun Sect is up to. They actually announced that he is dead."

These words stunned Ye Liuyun.

"Huh? He's not dead? What do you mean? Under normal circumstances, he should have passed away by now, right?" Ye Liuyun was confused.

“He’s probably faking his death. Do you remember when your Jiangzhou Prefecture destroyed the Blood Demon Sect branch? Back then, didn’t this Li Qianqiu take away the underground palace that the Blood Demon Sect was hiding? He’s currently in that palace,” Lin Qingyou replied.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback again. She thought for a moment, and then quickly realized what was going on.

"No way, is he planning to secretly use the Blood Demon Sect's methods to break through his cultivation level?" Ye Liuyun said in disbelief.

"It should be, but he probably didn't use human blood. I think he used the blood of demonic beasts. Even so, this kind of method is still considered an evil method. If the Supreme Response Sect finds out, the Yun Sect will be in big trouble. No wonder the Yun Sect announced his death." Lin Qingyou guessed.

Li Qianqiu's current situation is basically the same as Lin Qingyou guessed.

"Really? Oh well! Whatever, it has nothing to do with me anyway." After saying that, Ye Liuyun called out to Sun Yuan.

"Hey, Sun Wukong, are you there? I'm back to move house," Ye Liuyun called out.

As soon as Ye Liuyun shouted, an inconspicuous monkey jumped down from the spirit peach tree. This monkey, Sun Yuan, seemed to have remained unchanged.

"Stop calling me. I knew you were back as soon as you entered the Cloud Sect's territory. Not bad, huh? What methods did you use to reach the peak of True Essence in just one hundred years? That's really interesting." Sun Yuan said with a smile as he approached Ye Liuyun and stared at him.

"It's a secret, I won't tell you." Ye Liuyun chuckled, then shouted to the surroundings.

Sun Yuan crossed his arms, looking displeased. Although Ye Liuyun didn't say anything, he could tell that Ye Liuyun was now about 1200 years old. He wondered what had caused her to lose so much lifespan. These sixty years of lifespan loss must be related to her significant improvement in cultivation level.

"Hey, you little guys, come out here. I'm taking you all with me when I move," Ye Liuyun called out.

As soon as Ye Liuyun called out, many demonic beasts rushed out from all around.

"Master, you're back?" The little white snake in the water had transformed into a beautiful young woman.

"Oh, you've all transformed into human form, not bad, not bad. I'm back today to pack my things, and by the way, I'd like to tell you that from today onwards, you're free. The sky's the limit, you can go wherever you want," Ye Liuyun announced to the demon beasts.

The demonic beasts that Ye Liuyun had captured to test the medicine were all stunned.

"Stop spacing out. I'll put you all in the pet pouch first, and then release you somewhere after we leave the Cloud Sect." Ye Liuyun didn't want to explain further and simply put all the demonic beasts away in the pet pouch.

Finally, he went inside to tidy up the things in the house. There wasn't much in the house. The most important things Ye Liuyun brought back this time were the spirit peach tree and Sun Yuan.

After tidying up all the mess, Ye Liuyun finally arrived at the Spirit Peach Tree.

"Hehe, little peach, shrink a bit, I'll take you away." Ye Liuyun stroked the spirit peach tree and chuckled.

This spirit peach tree has long been a spirit; it has been acting abnormally ever since Ye Liuyun used medicine on it.

At Ye Liuyun's command, the spirit peach tree shrank rapidly, and in no time, a huge tree that blocked out the sky was reduced to a small sapling.

Ye Liuyun felt more and more that his spirit peach tree was extraordinary.

The spirit peach tree shrank, so Ye Liuyun pulled it up and planted it in a flowerpot.

"Fei'er, take this." Ye Liuyun handed the flowerpot containing the spirit peach tree to Ye Fei.

After doing all of this, Ye Liuyun was finally able to settle everything.

"Mother, what is this? You seem to cherish it very much," Ye Fei asked doubtfully.

"This is a spirit peach tree that I planted when I was a teenager. There's nothing special about it," Ye Liuyun replied.

However, Ye Fei did not believe her mother's nonsense. After a hundred years of getting along, she knew Ye Liuyun's personality quite well. She knew that Ye Liuyun's words should not be taken seriously, nor should they be believed entirely.

"Huh? You call this nothing special? Such a big peach tree, and with just one word from you, it turned into a sapling. Is that not special? Then what is special?" Ye Fei complained.

"You talk too much. I'll tell you when the time is right. Ask again and I'll spank you," Ye Liuyun threatened fiercely.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fei immediately stuck out her tongue. Finally, the group, riding on tassels, flew out of Bixia Valley and came outside. As soon as they arrived outside, Ji Tianjiao immediately came to greet them.

"Is everything packed up?" Ji Tianjiao asked.

"Yes, everything's packed up. Senior Sister Ji, return these things to Yun Sect." Ye Liuyun waved her hand, revealing her disciple robes and Yun Sect personal disciple identity token. She took out everything Yun Sect had given her and presented it to Ji Tianjiao.

Ji Tianjiao reached out and took the things, her mood heavy and complicated.

"Junior Sister Ye, are you leaving now? Don't you plan to stay a few more days?" Ji Tianjiao asked after packing her things.

Ye Liuyun shook his head.

"I don't even know when I'll pass away, so it's not good for me to stay outside for too long. Oh, right, Senior Sister Ji, these are some pills I refined myself. Consider them a parting gift. The effects of these pills are written on this little note. Take a look after I'm gone." Ye Liuyun handed Ji Tianjiao a storage bag containing several porcelain bottles.

Ji Tianjiao was stunned.

"This?" She wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ye Liuyun.

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Senior Sister Ji, could you please escort me? I don't have my identity token right now, so I can't leave Yun Sect smoothly," Ye Liuyun pleaded with a grin.

Ji Tianjiao naturally couldn't refuse, so with a slightly helpless feeling, she personally escorted Ye Liuyun out of the Yun Sect.

However, after leaving Yunzong, Ye Liuyun suddenly said something strange to Ji Tianjiao, which confused her for a long time.

"Senior Sister Ji, we'll meet again someday. Live well." Ye Liuyun stood on Liusu's back, greeted Ji Tianjiao, and then flew away.

"Huh? What do you mean? See you again someday?" Ji Tianjiao stared at Ye Liuyun, who had already walked away, for a long time without coming back to her senses.
