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

Ye Liuyun quickly told the female cultivator the identity information he had prepared in advance. His name was naturally Ye Liuyun. However, when Ye Liuyun told her that he was a man, the female cultivator was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

"You, you're a man?" The female cultivator asked in astonishment, looking at the boy who was several times more beautiful than herself.

"Really? Don't you want to?" Ye Liuyun asked shamelessly.

The female cultivator had a toothache, but she still filled out Ye Liuyun's information and successfully registered. At the same time, she gave Ye Liuyun a token, which he could use to enter the area where the Supreme Induction Sect's Medicine Peak was located through the teleportation array in Tianyi City.

After receiving the token, Ye Liuyun immediately turned and left with a smile.

"Excuse me, excuse me." Ye Liuyun used brute force to push aside the people behind him one by one, and finally easily finished the registration.

With the token in hand, Ye Liuyun rushed to the teleportation array in Tianyi City. However, upon arriving at the teleportation plaza of Tianyi City and seeing the Tianjiao Tower standing there, Ye Liuyun was filled with emotion.

The lifelike images of cultivators on the Tower of Pride, especially Ye Liuyun at the very bottom.

"Wow, time flies!" Ye Liuyun exclaimed before rushing to the teleportation hall. He then paid his spirit coins, presented his token, and finally selected the location of the Medicine Peak to teleport.

The teleportation array in the Northern Region is much more user-friendly and simpler than it was a hundred years ago. It basically doesn't need to be guarded. Since you can't open the teleportation array to the Supreme Response Sect unless you are a disciple of the Supreme Response Sect, this token can be considered a key to unlocking the traditional array.

After a flash of blue light, Ye Liuyun walked out of another teleportation portal and arrived at the territory of Medicine Peak.

The location of this Medicine Peak is definitely one of the most beautiful faction areas of the Supreme Response Sect. This place is full of medicinal herbs, blooming flowers, and spring-like weather all year round.

Yaofeng's jurisdiction is a rather pristine forest and mountainous area, very beautiful, with Yaofeng being the highest peak.

"This place is nice." Ye Liuyun smiled slightly.

Just then, a female cultivator from Medicine Peak, dressed in a white robe with blue petal patterns, approached Ye Liuyun with a smile.

"Young lady, are you here to participate in our Medicine Peak's introductory trial?" The girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old and appeared very lively.

Ye Liuyun first smiled and nodded, then corrected him.

"I'm here to take the entrance exam, but sister, I'm not a sister, I'm a man," Ye Liuyun said seriously.

The girl was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then looked Ye Liuyun up and down with an incredulous look.

"Huh... a guy? How is that possible? You're even better looking than me. A guy? You're kidding, right?" the girl said in shock.

Ye Liuyun deliberately made herself look like this to tease people. Anyway, she has a thick skin and likes to see other people's shocked reactions.

It can only be said that others become more mature with age, while Ye Liuyun becomes more childish. Of course, that's normal; someone like her who is immortal doesn't need to mature.

What is maturity? Maturity is about understanding human relationships and the ability to think independently about all sorts of annoying things.

Unfortunately, Ye Liuyun doesn't need any of that. She just wants to be happy. It's pointless to talk to someone who doesn't know how long he'll live about about maturity.

"Really, you can't do it. Why don't you just take a look with your divine eye and you'll know?" Ye Liuyun reminded him.

Upon hearing this, the girl quickly formed a hand seal, and her eyes shone with golden light. Upon closer inspection, she indeed discovered that the aura emanating from Ye Liuyun was not that of a woman's primordial yin energy.

"Huh? It really is a man." The girl finally believed it.

"Hehe, right?" Ye Liuyun nodded smugly.

"Alright, young man, my name is Mengqi, and I'm a junior disciple of Medicine Peak. I'll take you to participate in our Medicine Peak's assessment." After adjusting her mindset, the girl introduced herself.

Ye Liuyun nodded, then looked around.

"Sister Mengqi, there aren't many people here for the Medicine Peak assessment. It's so deserted," Ye Liuyun said, puzzled.

Mengqi, upon hearing this, didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

“That’s normal. There are far fewer alchemists than regular cultivators, and the requirements to become an alchemist are very high. You could say it’s one in a hundred. Besides, the sect just announced that it would be recruiting disciples ahead of schedule, so naturally, not many people have come. You’re the first one today,” Mengqi said with a smile, her eyes narrowed.

Mengqi's smile was really cute, making Ye Liuyun want to pinch her rosy cheeks.

“That’s true, alright then, let’s go take the test,” Ye Liuyun said.

Mengqi nodded, then cast a spell and flew up to a pavilion on Medicine Peak.

The buildings on Yaofeng Peak are hardly connected; they're scattered here and there, giving it a rather impoverished appearance.

In reality, Yaofeng is definitely one of the wealthiest factions in the Taishang Ganying Sect, but it has relatively few disciples.

Meng Qi is a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Dao Palace. She joined Medicine Peak more than a hundred years ago through the Southern Ridge Gathering.

Yao Feng values ​​alchemy skills more and doesn't have high requirements for cultivation level. Meng Qi was only at the Spirit Pattern Realm back then, and he himself was a low-grade blue-level alchemist.

Blue-grade low-rank alchemists are considered the worst in Medicine Peak. The place they are going to is where Medicine Peak conducts pill-making assessments, and it is also the place where the new disciples will be assessed this time.

The requirements for Medicine Peak are very simple: anyone who can refine green-grade pills can become a Medicine Apprentice of Medicine Peak, which is equivalent to a miscellaneous disciple in other factions.

However, their treatment is definitely better than that of the handymen disciples from other factions.

Being able to refine low-grade blue-level pills means you've become a junior formal disciple.

This Medicine Peak has nearly five thousand disciples, which is relatively low compared to other sects of the Supreme Response Sect. Of the five thousand disciples, only a little over a thousand are formal disciples, and the rest are medicine apprentices.

Mengqi also introduced the situation of Medicine Peak along the way. The reason why Medicine Peak has relatively few buildings and looks a bit deserted is that most of the alchemists live in caves in various parts of this area. In addition, the place is densely planted, and some of the pavilions they built themselves are not visible.

After arriving at the Medicine Peak Assessment Hall where the assessment would be conducted, Mengqi finally put Ye Liuyun down.

"Alright, Junior Brother Ye, I've already told you the assessment rules. Since you can participate in the assessment at Medicine Peak, refining green-grade pills shouldn't be a problem. Good luck, and keep it up." Mengqi clenched her little fist at Ye Liuyun to encourage him.

"Okay, I will definitely pass the test." Ye Liuyun patiently cooperated with Mengqi.

After speaking, Ye Liuyun walked into the assessment hall. Not many people came and went from this place. Medicine Peak disciples only came here for upgrade assessments; they didn't usually come here.

There were disciples guarding the entrance. Ye Liuyun stepped forward, took out the token issued by the Tianyi City office, and then, led by a disciple, arrived at the entrance of a bright alchemy room inside.

"Senior Sister Nalan has a newly initiated disciple who has come to participate in the assessment." The disciple greeted a female cultivator who was processing medicinal herbs inside the gate.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback and muttered to himself.

"Senior Sister Nalan? This can't be such a coincidence, can it? I remember Nalan Yan is at Medicine Peak, right?" Ye Liuyun muttered to himself.

"Oh? I see. I didn't expect someone to arrive so quickly." The woman inside paused slightly, then turned around.

When this person turned around, Ye Liuyun was greatly surprised. Although nearly two hundred years had passed, the person in front of him was undoubtedly Nalan Yan.

Ye Liuyun really has a connection with Nalan Yan. When she first joined the Yunxia Sect and went to the Alchemy Pavilion, it was Nalan Yan who conducted the assessment for her. And now, she has run into Nalan Yan again.

Nalan Yan has been cultivating in the Supreme Response Sect for nearly two hundred years and is currently a cultivator at the Dao Palace Nascent Soul stage. Although her progress is not particularly exaggerated compared to Lin Aoxue and the others, it is still quite good.

Looking at the colors of Nalan Yan's clothes, she wore a beautiful white outfit with purple floral patterns, and she also wore a delicate brooch on her chest. This brooch was also a bright purple floral brooch with two small flowers.

This means that Nalan Yan is now a mid-grade purple-level alchemist and a direct disciple of the Medicine Peak. The Medicine Peak is different from other sects; as long as you reach the purple-level alchemist level, you can become a direct disciple.

It should be noted that the highest-ranking alchemist in the Supreme Response Sect is only a high-grade Yellow Rank, namely Peak Master Tai Rong.

Once you reach the Yellow-level Alchemist level, you can become a high-ranking member of the Medicine Peak.

Currently, the Tai Shang Gan Ying Sect's Array Peak, Weapon Peak, Medicine Peak, Beast Peak, and Talisman Peak are all based on genuine ability; the greater one's skill, the greater the treatment one receives.

When Nalan Yan saw Ye Liuyun at the door, she was stunned for a moment for some reason. Her first feeling was that the person in front of her seemed familiar.

Ye Liuyun stared at her with wide eyes, as if he knew her.

However, Ye Liuyun reacted quickly and soon looked away.

"Come in," Nalan Yan gestured.

With a rather embarrassed expression, Ye Liuyun entered the stone chamber. After she entered, the door closed, and there was no one else around, so Ye Liuyun immediately felt relieved.

Nalan Yan knew about her alchemy skills and some of her secrets. Judging from Nalan Yan's ability to keep quiet all these years, she is a trustworthy person.

"Young lady, what's your name? What level of pills can you refine?" Nalan Yan stepped forward and asked.

Ye Liuyun intended to play a trick on Nalan Yan and did not plan to reveal his identity immediately.

"Replying to your question, senior, my name is Ye Liuyun. I can refine blue-grade pills. Also, I am male, not female," Ye Liuyun stated.

Nalan Yan was taken aback by Ye Liuyun's words. The main reason was that the name Ye Liuyun was only one character different from Ye Liuyun's, and coupled with the previous familiarity, she couldn't help but start to doubt the person in front of her.

"Really? Blue-grade pills? What level of blue-grade pills can you refine? Young lady, you only have three chances to take the exam, so think it through carefully. Don't be too ambitious. The treatment you receive at our Medicine Peak depends entirely on the level of pills you can refine," Nalan Yan said seriously.

"Whether it succeeds or not, we'll know once we try," Ye Liuyun said confidently.

Nalan Yan thought for a moment and then asked, without saying anything more.

"Alright, what level of blue-grade pill do you want to refine?"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Liuyun stated directly.

"Blue-grade top quality".

Nalan Yan was taken aback again. Just like Ye Liuyun, who could directly become a core disciple of the Medicine Peak if he successfully refined a top-grade blue-level pill.

"Alright, tell me exactly what kind of pill you want to refine, and I'll fetch the medicinal herbs," Nalan Yan continued to ask.

"I want to refine a top-grade blue-level pill, the Three Elements Return to One Pill," Ye Liuyun replied.

This Three Elements Unity Pill is a powerful amplification pill that can increase one's strength threefold in a short period of time. It is very precious and is one of the most difficult blue-grade pills to refine, making it extremely challenging.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's confident demeanor, Nalan Yan didn't say anything more. Instead, she casually reached out and retrieved the medicinal herbs for refining the Three Elements Unity Pill from the drawer where the herbs were stored in the room.

“These are the ingredients for the Three Elements Return to One Pill. You can start refining it now. I will watch the whole process and record it on video,” Nalan Yan said.

Ye Liuyun smiled and nodded, then took the medicinal herbs and sat down in front of the medicine furnace in the room.

Nalan Yan stood quietly and seriously beside Ye Liuyun, observing him.

"Strange, why does this girl look so familiar? Could it be that my intuition is wrong? And this name?" Nalan Yan muttered to herself.

As for why she thought the person in front of her was a young girl, well, there's no way around it; people are visual creatures, and Ye Liuyun's appearance gave the initial impression of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

As Ye Liuyun sat down, she raised her hand and released the flames within her body. The flames she released were white, formed from her true essence. Although they couldn't compare to the Myriad Medicine Immortal Flame, they were sufficient for Ye Liuyun at the moment.

"White flames? What kind of flames are these? They don't look like flames formed from magical energy." Nalan Yan was confused.

As Ye Liuyun poured his true essence fire into the medicine furnace, and then threw all the medicinal herbs in, this familiar one-pot stewing method of medicine refining immediately made Nalan Yan show a look of astonishment.

If she had only suspected it before, she was now basically certain of the person in front of her.

Nalan Yan couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

As Ye Liuyun smoothly refined and fused the pills in the furnace, she completed the entire process in just half an hour, but only produced one pill.

Over the years, I have made great progress in alchemy and can now easily control the grade and quality of the pills I refine.

In short, Ye Liuyun has already gained considerable experience in refining elixirs.

"All done, Senior Nalan, take a look." Ye Liuyun took the pill out of the medicine furnace, but as soon as she turned around, she found Nalan Yan looking at her with a speechless expression.

Ye Liuyun, on the other hand, squinted and smiled as he looked at Nalan Yan.

Ye Liuyun knew from Nalan Yan's eyes that she had recognized him.

"Junior Sister Ye, are you here to deliberately tease me?" Nalan Yan asked, both amused and exasperated.

Ye Liuyun had never intended to hide anything from Nalan Yan, so when she revealed his identity, he readily admitted it.

"Oh dear! Sister Nalan, can you please cooperate a little? Don't expose me so directly!" Ye Liuyun complained, feigning anger.

Nalan Yan sighed softly.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm too familiar with your alchemy skills. If you used a different alchemy technique, I might not have been able to tell. Are you planning to come to our Supreme Induction Sect for fun? Are you no longer staying in the Cloud Sect? By the way, have you broken the lifespan shackles of body cultivators? And what's going on with you now? I can't tell at all that you're faking it."

Nalan Yan had a series of questions.

Ye Liuyun quickly answered Nalan Yan's questions one by one. When Nalan Yan learned that Ye Liuyun had left Yun Sect because his lifespan was coming to an end and he was about to pass away, she finally understood why Ye Liuyun had changed his identity.

"Oh, I see. By the way, Junior Sister Ye, after all these years, how advanced have your alchemy skills become?" Nalan Yan asked curiously.

Ye Liuyun is currently unable to refine yellow-grade pills; at most, he can only refine top-grade purple-grade pills.

"A top-grade purple one, right? Don't even mention me. I didn't expect Senior Sister Nalan to be doing so well at Medicine Peak. You've even become a personal disciple. If I get bullied at Medicine Peak in the future, you'll have to protect me," Ye Liuyun joked.

Nalan Yan was both amused and exasperated by Ye Liuyun's words, thinking to herself, "You need me to protect you? You're the one who should be protecting me."

"A top-grade purple-level item? Then why don't you refine a top-grade purple-level item and become a direct disciple?" Nalan Yan was a little confused about Ye Liuyun's thoughts.

"Keep a low profile, you understand? Anyway, Senior Sister Nalan, please keep my affairs a secret." Ye Liuyun instructed.

Nalan Yan nodded without hesitation.

"Don't worry, I owe my success today to your guidance, Junior Sister Ye. In a way, you are my master." Nalan Yan replied solemnly.

Indeed, from the perspective of imparting knowledge and skills, Ye Liuyun's kindness to Nalan Yan may be even greater than that to Yunxiao.

"Oh, that's good. Alright, Senior Sister, we're fellow disciples again. Would it be convenient for you to take me to complete the entry procedures? And while you're at it, could you give me a detailed introduction to the Medicine Peak?" Ye Liuyun gestured.

Nalan Yan was naturally delighted. She first gave Ye Liuyun a blue brooch with four flowers on it.
