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

This is my second time in Tianyi City. How should I put it? Compared to more than a hundred years ago, Tianyi City has become more modern, or rather, it has evolved towards a science fiction era.

Previously, the Rebel Immortal Alliance had caused extensive damage, so they took the opportunity to improve the layout of Tianyi City.

"Ah, it's really great. Every time I come to Tianyi City, it feels like I've returned to the modern world." Ye Liuyun sighed as he looked at the street outside the Wanbao Building.

She raised her hand and summoned the flying artifact she had bought in Tianyi City years ago. Then, she flew the flying artifact towards her and Lin Aoxue's residence.

For the foreseeable future, I will be living here.

Let's take a look at Lin Aoxue's side of the Supreme Response Sect. The Supreme Response Sect has been very busy these past few days.

Because the Nine Heavens Holy Land no longer has the same level of control over this area as it did back then, the Supreme Response Sect now has more options and doesn't need to listen to everything they say anymore, like before.

Previously, the Nine Heavens Domain was the backyard of the Nine Heavens Holy Land. Now, the Nine Heavens Holy Land is at most the overlord of the Nine Heavens Domain. Part of the Southern Ridge is connected to the Myriad Spirits Domain, and part is connected to the Gu God Domain.

To put it bluntly, the Nine Heavens Holy Land can no longer be too tough on these major sects. If you are too tough, they will turn to other regions, which is something the Nine Heavens Holy Land does not want to see.

Even those factions that want to seize power are unwilling to see the forces under their jurisdiction be transferred to other holy sites.

Therefore, they immediately dispatched a so-called envoy to the Supreme Response Sect, who was a powerful expert at the Nirvana Five Elements Realm.

The other party was nominally stationed in Nanling to prevent the Gu God Domain and the Myriad Spirits Domain from invading Nanling, but in reality, they were monitoring the Supreme Response Sect to prevent any changes in the Supreme Response Sect.

"Everyone, the spatial barrier that once enveloped the Nine Heavens Domain has now completely disappeared. In order to prevent other regions from invading the Nine Heavens Domain, I will be stationed at your Supreme Induction Sect from today onwards to help you defend against external enemies." A white-haired old man stroked his beard and said with a smile to Ancestor Tianyi and the others.

This person comes from Shangqing Palace and is an elder of Shangqing Palace named Daohua.

"The Holy Land has gone to great lengths; we are more than happy to receive this." Although Ancestor Tianyi and the others were displeased, they certainly wouldn't show their dissatisfaction verbally; on the contrary, they had to appear happy.

It wasn't just in the Nanling area; the Taishang Ganying Sect sent people to the other three regions as well.

"That's good. Don't worry, unless it's something serious, I won't interfere in your affairs. The Jade Pool Immortal Gathering is imminent, and with this sudden incident in the Holy Land, I only hope that all the major sects in our Nine Heavens Domain can work together to overcome this difficulty. I'll be leaving now," Dao Hua said with a smile.

After saying this, Daohua disappeared.

As soon as he left, Tianyi Ancestor and the others showed their displeasure.

"Hmph! They're not here to help at all; they're clearly here to monitor our Supreme Response Sect, afraid that we might take the opportunity to break free from the control of their Nine Heavens Holy Land," Elder Tianmu sneered.

They're all shrewd people; they can naturally see through this kind of trickery.

"Alas! What can we do? The Nine Heavens Domain has just escaped from the hands of the Nine Heavens Holy Land. For the time being, the Nine Heavens Holy Land still reigns supreme here. We can only submit to them for now," said Ancestor Tianyi.

No force likes to be controlled for life. If they are suppressed by the Nine Heavens Holy Land for life, they will never be able to advance further.

This period is definitely the most suitable time for the Supreme Response Sect to develop. They still need to secretly send cultivators to make contact with the Myriad Spirits Domain and the Gu God Domain.

Those forces that sit idly by observing the heavens should also learn about the situation on the Divine Continent.

"By the way, in order to deal with the changes in the Nine Heavens Domain, I announce that the Supreme Response Sect will recruit another batch of disciples. I think the people of the Reverse Immortal Alliance will definitely seize this opportunity," said Ancestor Tianyi.

Indeed, Ancestor Tianyi was right. After the Nine Heavens Domain returned to the Divine Continent, the people of the Reverse Immortal Alliance immediately made contact with all the cultivation forces in the Gu God Domain and the Myriad Spirits Domain.

The Divine Continent is different from the Nine Heavens Domain. In the Nine Heavens Domain, because of the rule of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, those evil cultivators are almost like rats crossing the street. However, their so-called evil paths are very common in the Divine Continent.

For example, in the Gu God Domain, cultivators mainly practice poison techniques, curses, and Gu techniques. These three methods are prohibited from cultivation according to the regulations of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

The Gu God Domain has no taboos. The strongest force in the Gu God Domain is the Gu Spirit Holy Land, whose overall strength is slightly weaker than that of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, but not by much.

The strongest sect in the Myriad Spirits Domain is the Myriad Spirits Holy Land. The cultivation methods in this area are quite unique; they mainly absorb demon spirits and control them in battle.

Although the methods differ, they are merely different in appearance; they still all cultivate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The reason why Ancestor Tianyi planned to temporarily accept a batch of new disciples was to prevent conflicts with the surrounding external forces.

Although Ancestor Tianyi and the others had never left the Nine Heavens Domain, they had read ancient records. The Myriad Spirits Domain was one thing, but the Gu God Domain was even more ancient than the Nine Heavens Domain.

Before the Nine Heavens Domain was isolated by the Nine Heavens Heaven and Earth, the relationship between the two domains was quite poor, with frequent friction occurring in both the mortal world and the cultivation world.

As for Tianyuan, the leader of the Reverse Immortal Alliance, he is currently in contact with the Five Poisons Sect, which is located near the Southern Ridge in the Gu God Domain. The Five Poisons Sect is located in an area called the Southern Frontier. The Five Poisons Sect is weaker than the Supreme Induction Sect. The Supreme Induction Sect has more than 100 Nascent Soul cultivators, while the Five Poisons Sect only has more than 50.

These two major powers are so close together that they're bound to fight each other sooner or later over territory.

Furthermore, the two forces are completely incompatible: the Five Poisons Sect practices poison techniques and Gu magic, while the Supreme Response Sect practices pure Taoist cultivation techniques—they are natural enemies.

At this moment, at the headquarters of the Five Poisons Sect in Southern Xinjiang, the sect leader was receiving Tian Yuan, the leader of the Reverse Immortal Alliance.

“Fellow Daoist Tiandu, now that the Nine Heavens Domain has returned to the Divine Continent, and the Southern Ridge of the Nine Heavens Domain is connected to the Southern Frontier, the strongest sect in the Southern Ridge, the Supreme Induction Sect, is a pure cultivation sect. They prohibit the cultivation of poison techniques and Gu arts. Such methods are taboo and evil in the Nine Heavens Domain.”

"Forgive my bluntness, but your sect cannot coexist with the forces of the Nine Heavens Domain. Sooner or later, you will have to confront them, after all, your sect is seen as a heretical sect by them," Tianyuan said.

The leader of the Five Poisons Sect is named Heavenly Poison Fairy. She is a very beautiful woman whose clothing style is completely different from that of the Nine Heavens Domain.

The Gu God Domain worships the Gu Spirit Civilization, while the Nine Heavens Domain worships the Nine Hua Civilization. These two places have been at odds for many years.

"Of course I know about the situation in your Nine Heavens Domain. Before your Nine Heavens Heavenly Emperor ruled the Divine Continent, my Gu God Domain was already at odds with your Nine Heavens Domain. Now we're just back to square one," said Fairy Heavenly Poison indifferently.

“However, Fellow Daoist Tiandu, are you aware that the Southern Ridge Supreme Induction Sect has almost twice as many Nascent Soul cultivators as your sect? If they want to expand their power, your Five Poisons Sect cannot stop them,” Tianyuan reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Heavenly Poison couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"What? So many?" Fairy Heavenly Poison exclaimed in surprise.

Although she knew that the Nine Heavens Domain regarded cultivators like them as enemies, she really didn't expect the Supreme Response Sect to be so powerful.

“The Supreme Response Sect of Nanling is the strongest sect in the Nine Heavens Domain besides the Nine Heavens Holy Land. Let me tell you, I myself come from the Supreme Response Sect. I was put on their list of evil cultivators to be hunted down simply because I practiced a forbidden method of theirs,” Tianyuan said.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Tiandu understood.

"I understand. Fellow Daoist, you want to cooperate with my Five Poisons Sect, right?" Fairy Heavenly Poison understood Tianyuan's intentions.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. After learning that the Nine Heavens Domain had returned to the Divine Continent, the Gu Spirit Holy Land immediately issued orders to them, instructing them to take good care of their territory.

Before any conflict arises between their Gu Ling Holy Land and the Nine Heavens Holy Land, they must absolutely avoid conflict.

“That’s right. My Reverse Immortal Alliance currently has more than 30 Nascent Soul cultivators and hundreds of cultivators in the Four Extremes Secret Realm. If the Five Poisons Sect cooperates with my Reverse Immortal Alliance to deal with the Supreme Induction Sect, it will definitely be easier than us fighting each other separately,” Tianyuan said with a smile.

After hearing this, Fairy Tiandu fell into deep thought, but she did not hesitate for long.

"Alright, it's a pleasure to cooperate. However, cooperation is cooperation, and we will not attack them before we understand the specific situation of the Supreme Response Sect," Fairy Heavenly Poison reminded us.

“Haha, that’s for sure. Fellow Daoist Tiandu, you can send your disciples to infiltrate the Southern Ridge Chu Kingdom to investigate and find out what the Supreme Response Sect and the Nine Heavens Holy Land have been doing,” Tianyuan said.

Looking at Ye Liuyun again, she had already arrived at the villa that she and Lin Aoxue had bought in Tianyi City.

Tianyi City still has some retro-style villas. After arriving here, Ye Liuyun showed a happy smile. This place is her and Lin Aoxue's home in Tianyi City.

Ye Liuyun took out a card-shaped magical artifact, swiped it on the door, and the door opened automatically.

After entering, Ye Liuyun looked around. The place was much the same as it had been back then, with no changes. However, it seemed that Lin Aoxue must come here often, so this place didn't look like it was uninhabited.

After casually looking around a few times, Ye Liuyun took out her communication device and sent a message to Lin Aoxue, informing her that she had arrived in Tianyi City.

Upon receiving Ye Liuyun's message, Lin Aoxue, who was on Tiandao Peak, immediately put down what she was doing and flew towards Tianyi City.

Lin Aoxue arrived at her residence in Tianyi City as quickly as possible. At that moment, Ye Liuyun was strolling around the courtyard.

"You're here so soon? And you look completely different. Didn't you say you were going to finish up your business before coming? It's only been three days." Lin Aoxue asked as soon as she entered.

Although Ye Liuyun has changed his appearance, only she and Ye Liuyun have the key to this place, and no one else can get in. Therefore, the handsome young man in front of her can only be Ye Liuyun.

Besides, Ye Liuyun had already told her three days ago that she wanted to join the Supreme Response Sect as a man so that he could pursue her openly and honestly, which would infuriate the other disciples who had designs on Lin Aoxue.

"You're here. How do I look? Pretty good, right? A handsome young man." Ye Liuyun said with a smile, tossing his black hair with a smug grin.

Lin Aoxue rolled her eyes.

"You've been a woman for too long, and your sense of aesthetics has become bizarre. You've created such a pretty boy image, so people will often mistake you for someone else. Your skin is getting thicker and thicker," Lin Aoxue said, both amused and exasperated.

Ye Liuyun looked quite helpless when this was mentioned.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. After being a woman for a long time, I just like pretty faces. Anyway, I don't care what other people think. I'm just like that. If you're not happy, then fight me." Ye Liuyun said with an arrogant expression.

Lin Aoxue really had no way to deal with Ye Liuyun. She estimated that it would take her some time to get used to Ye Liuyun's new appearance.

After they finished speaking, the two sat down in a pavilion in the villa.

"By the way, how do you plan to join our Supreme Response Sect? Which faction do you want to join? Do you need my help?" Lin Aoxue asked.

Ye Liuyun shook his head.

"No need, I already have a plan. I'm going to join Medicine Peak; it's the best place for me there," Ye Liuyun replied.

Yaofeng is indeed one of the quietest factions in the entire Taishang Ganying Sect, and also the least likely to attract attention.

"Medicine Peak is indeed a good fit for you, but you shouldn't just show off those strange pills. After all, the former master of Medicine Peak was very interested in your pills back then," Lin Aoxue reminded her.

Ye Liuyun understood this. He knew he couldn't use the old pills anymore, as they would expose his true abilities. But Ye Liuyun had plenty of random pills, so he could just continue developing new ones.

"Don't worry, I can refine plenty of pills. Besides, I can refine normal pills too, not just those strange ones," Ye Liuyun said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Aoxue said nothing more.

"Alright, it's good that you're here. With you by my side, I feel a bit more relaxed. To be honest, as the goddess of the Supreme Response Sect, besides my master, grandmaster, and then my eldest and second sisters, I basically have no one else I can trust. These past years have truly been exhausting." Lin Aoxue sighed.

This is the loneliness of being at the top, and there are people secretly trying to harm her, so she basically guards against anyone who deliberately gets close to her.

"Yes, I'm here. I'll try to help you solve these problems. Oh, by the way, I contacted my eldest and second eldest sisters and asked them to come here for a get-together, since we haven't seen each other for so many years," Ye Liuyun said.

Lin Aoxue nodded, then quickly took out her communication device and sent a message to Yan Yu and Chen Yao.

These two are now important disciples of the Supreme Response Sect, and their cultivation has reached the Divine Body Realm. Their aptitude is beyond question. Apart from Lin Aoxue, these two have the best aptitude.

They were both the sole heirs of their respective factions, and once they reached the Transcendent Realm, their masters handed over their factions to them.

However, compared to Lin Aoxue, the two of them were still a level below.

After saying all that, Ye Liuyun began to tell Lin Aoxue about his experiences over the years, as well as things that Lin Aoxue didn't know, such as the Ye family's affairs and the things they encountered while searching for their relatives.

Lin Aoxue listened with great interest. At least Ye Liuyun's life was more interesting, unlike hers, which consisted of nothing but cultivation and going out to kill evil spirits to accumulate sect contributions for the Supreme Response Sect.

"Sigh! Speaking of which, I'm also curious to know where all of us Lin family members are now," Lin Aoxue sighed.

"We'll meet sooner or later, so let's deal with the immediate situation first. The return of this continent to the Divine Continent will definitely trigger a lot of chain reactions. By the way, do you know the situation around us?" Ye Liuyun asked.

She knew nothing about the Divine Continent and had no idea what her surroundings were like.

Lin Aoxue was naturally aware of this; they had been discussing this matter for the past few days, so she told Ye Liuyun all her information.

After listening, Ye Liuyun had a feeling that the Taishang Ganying Sect and the Five Poisons Sect of Southern Xinjiang were bound to clash. Two completely different civilizations and different cultivation methods were basically impossible to coexist.

The two talked a lot, about things that Lin Aoxue didn't know, and things that Ye Liuyun didn't know either; it was a kind of information exchange.

About half an hour later, Yan Yu and Chen Yao finally arrived from the Taishang Ganying Sect.

"Haha, eldest sister and second sister, it's been a long time." Ye Liuyun greeted the two as they entered the villa with a smile and walked over to them.

The two were stunned when they saw the unfamiliar, handsome young man in front of them.

"Hey? Third Sister, what are you up to?" The two were a little puzzled, but despite their teasing, they still gave each other a long-awaited hug.

"Sigh! I left the Cloud Sect citing insufficient lifespan as the reason. To the Cloud Sect, Ye Liuyu is already a dead man. Next, I will revert to my former identity, join the Supreme Response Sect, and play around for a while," Ye Liuyun explained.

These words left the two speechless. Although they hadn't seen each other for a century, they found that Ye Liuyun's personality hadn't changed at all; he was still as playful and mischievous as ever.

They felt that with Ye Liuyun's arrival at the Taishang Ganying Sect, this place would definitely be very turbulent.

"Really? Then you'd better be careful, after all, the three of us sisters are also in the Supreme Response Sect." Yan Yu said somewhat fearfully.

They must know that Ye Liuyun's alchemy would create all sorts of strange phenomena in the heavens and earth.

"Don't worry, since the Nine Heavens Domain returned to the Divine Continent, the laws of heaven and earth have become more solid. I shouldn't cause as much of a commotion as before when I refine medicine," Ye Liuyun said.

She had already tried it over there in the clouds. In the past, when refining some white-grade pills, the amount of medicinal materials would affect the climate of the world, but now it wouldn't cause much of a commotion at all.

Even for green-grade pills, the range wouldn't be particularly large. As for blue-grade pills, Ye Liuyun felt that the range would be roughly the same as that of the Yunxia Sect back then. The unusual phenomena of the pills were suppressed by the laws of heaven and earth.

If she wants to make a bigger splash, she needs to refine pills of blue grade or higher. Ye Liuyun is now in the True Essence Realm, which means that not only has her physical strength improved, but her soul power has also increased. She can refine purple grade pills and synthesize pills of even higher grade.

She will likely be synthesizing green-grade pills more frequently in the future; white-grade pills should be phased out.

For her, aside from the functional ones, those white-grade combat pills weren't very useful anymore. However, she could sell them later. Ye Liuyun was going to return to the main storyline.

Her main goal is to become a proper alchemist; she's been neglecting her duties for years.

"By the way, Third Sister, how strong is your physical strength now? Come, let your eldest sister test your strength," Yan Yu suddenly asked curiously.

Ye Liuyun immediately became interested when she saw that Yan Yu wanted to test her skills.

“Okay, but you might be surprised,” Ye Liuyun said.

Chen Yao and Lin Aoxue were also quite curious about Ye Liuyun's current abilities.

Ye Liuyun and Yan Yu stood in the open area next to the pavilion.
