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

"It's almost time. Elder Tianjian, you shall preside over the discussion." Li Bai gestured to Tianjian.

Tianjian nodded, then stood up and disappeared from his seat, landing on the Dao Discussion Platform.

"Disciples and guests, to celebrate the ascension of our new leader, and also to allow all of you young talents to get to know each other, we have organized a martial arts exchange and discussion."

"This debate and exchange will adopt a voluntary battle format for defending the arena. Defenders can be challenged or choose the forces they wish to challenge. Those challenged cannot refuse or admit defeat casually. The use of magic weapons that are too far beyond one's own strength is prohibited. For example, those in the Divine Soul Realm can use low-grade Earth-rank magic weapons, but no higher. The grade of the magic weapon cannot be higher than one level above one's own cultivation."

"As for what to spar about, you can spar about cultivation and combat strength, weapon crafting, medicine refining, or formations. It's all up to you," Elder Tianjian announced the rules.

Since not everyone is good at fighting, they also prepared sparring sessions between their secondary professions.

Ye Liuyun, who was sitting next to Lin Aoxue, smiled.

"There are sparring sessions like this? That's fun! Fighting all the time is so boring," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

"Liu Yun, I want to go on stage," Lin Aoxue said, itching to go up.

Ye Liuyun felt a pang of pain in his teeth upon hearing this.

"Didn't we agree not to participate? Why are you still participating?" Ye Liuyun said with a headache.

"If I don't take advantage of such a good opportunity, I'll have to wait another hundred years. So, do you agree or not?" Lin Aoxue asked Ye Liuyun with a serious expression.

Seeing Lin Aoxue's expression, Ye Liuyun realized she might not be able to persuade or stop her, so she said helplessly.

"How about we wait and see? Even if you're going to challenge someone, you can't challenge a Nascent Soul cultivator," Ye Liuyun said.

"Hehe, then take that as your agreement. Don't worry, I'll definitely demand a battle against someone of the same realm. I only have 70% of my power right now, so I can't possibly fight against someone at the Transformation Realm." Lin Aoxue chuckled.

Seeing Lin Aoxue's appearance, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"Ugh! Why is she being so willful?" Ye Liuyun was exasperated.

As Elder Tianjian announced the official start of the Daoist debate and sparring, the disciples of various factions immediately began to rub their hands together in anticipation.

However, just as Elder Tianjian finished speaking, a female disciple of the Five Poisons Sect, who was at the early stage of the Divine Soul Realm, descended from the sky and landed on the arena.

The only force so eager to show itself off, without any restraint, is the Five Poisons Sect.

"Greetings to all seniors and fellow Daoists. I am Jiang Ying from the Five Poisons Sect, at the early stage of the Divine Soul Realm. I wish to challenge the fellow Daoist from the Supreme Response Sect, the host. I wonder which fellow Daoist would be willing to step forward?" Jiang Ying said with a slight smile.

Jiang Ying is a disciple of the Scorpion Altar of the Five Poisons Sect.

As soon as Jiang Ying spoke, the disciples of the various factions of the Supreme Response Sect began to think, but soon someone went up on stage.

"Supreme Response Sect, Heavenly Fire Peak, Xuan Yi accepts the challenge." A young man from Heavenly Fire Peak, at the early stage of the Divine Soul Realm, descended from the sky onto the arena, his body wreathed in flames.

In fact, the challenge posed by the Five Poisons Sect was very disadvantageous to the Supreme Response Sect, because the poison and curse techniques practiced by the Five Poisons Sect were a field they had never set foot in, and they had no understanding of their methods.

If a fight breaks out, it's not certain that we'll gain the upper hand; we might even find ourselves in a disadvantageous position.

"Are you two ready?" Elder Tianjian asked.

The two nodded in unison, ready to go.

"Since that's the case, let's begin. Remember, stop when you've made your move." After Elder Tianjian finished speaking, he retreated to the edge and began to meditate.

She needed to be ready to deal with any sudden crisis, so she planned to stay by her side. This formation could only protect the disciples from losing their lives, but on such an important day, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to be seriously injured.

Elder Tianjian announced the start of the competition.

On this day, Xuan Yi of Tianhuo Peak made the first move.

"Fire Magic - Blazing Inferno" Xuan Yi unleashed a powerful fire-attribute spell, his entire body erupting with fierce flames that spread towards Jiang Ying like a tidal wave.

Why were the disciples of Tianhuo Peak the first to step forward? It's because the poison techniques, curses, and Gu techniques of the Five Poisons Sect are countered by fire-attribute magic. Although the higher-ups of the Supreme Induction Sect seem to be communicating without any discussion, they are actually communicating secretly using their divine sense.

After discussing it, they decided to let Tianhuofeng, who was skilled in fire magic, be the first to go on stage to test the opponent's strength.

"Hmph! You want to suppress my Five Poisons Sect's methods with fire-attribute magic? What a joke! Since we know that fire-attribute magic is effective against us, do you think we would be completely unprepared?" Jiang Ying chuckled. The next moment, she made a hand seal, and a magic circle quickly appeared above her head. A red scorpion flew out of the magic circle.

These shoes have a strange shape; they don't resemble demonic beasts or spirit beasts. They are Gu worms from the Five Poisons Sect, a type of insect raised using secret methods.

"The fire worm devours his flames." After Jiang Ying summoned the worm, it immediately opened its mouth and sucked at the spreading sea of ​​fire. In an instant, the raging flames were transformed into pure magic power and quickly absorbed by the worm.

This scene surprised all the disciples of the Nine Heavens Domain.

"What kind of technique is this? How can it devour such violent flame power?" Even cultivators who had never seen Gu techniques before found it incredible.

Xuan Yi's expression changed drastically when he saw that his methods were easily neutralized by the opponent's methods.

"Damn it, they actually absorbed my spell. It seems they came prepared." Xuan Yi felt this was getting tricky.

The cultivators of the Five Poisons Sect all revealed a confident expression upon seeing this scene.

"Fire Gu technique, it seems your sect is well prepared." Elder Tianmu glanced at Chi Lian and Xue Wu after seeing this scene.

The two of them were quite informal.

"Haha, Elder Tianmu has a good eye. This is indeed our Five Poisons Sect's Fire Gu technique, specifically designed to counter fire-based spells," Blood Centipede laughed.

Let's take another look at the field.

"Fellow Daoist, it's my turn, Azure Heaven and Yellow Springs." After breaking her opponent's spell, Jiang Ying waved her hand, and a large amount of emerald green poison gas immediately spread from her body. This poison gas covered the arena area like a storm.

The spread was rapid, and Xuan Yi was unable to retaliate, so he could only release his fire magic to protect himself, as fire could burn away the toxins.

But the moment he released his magic, the fire gu began to attack again. The flame magic on the surface of his body was rapidly dissipating. At this rate, Xuan Yi wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

"Damn it, these wretched insects! My magic power is draining away rapidly!" Xuan Yi's face was grim.

As his own released magic power dissipated, his defenses immediately crumbled.

And just when things were getting urgent, a large number of black scorpions crawled out of the poisonous fog. Taking advantage of the cover of the poisonous gas, these scorpions had already reached Xuan Yi's side.

Moreover, these scorpions recklessly pounced on Xuan Yi, constantly draining his power.

Xuan Yi was no longer able to retaliate.

When a cultivator's spell is broken, there is usually a backlash, making it impossible for you to immediately gather too much mana again.

Under the attack of countless venomous scorpions, one scorpion quickly penetrated Xuan Yi's defenses and bit him with its venomous tail.

"Not good." Xuan Yi's expression changed, and he summoned a powerful top-grade Xuan artifact, a furnace with flickering flames. As soon as the furnace appeared, it generated a great suction force, swallowing up all the poisonous gas and scorpions from all directions.

Jiang Ying's method was broken, and she couldn't help but groan and take a few steps back. A trace of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, but she didn't seem too flustered. On the contrary, a smug expression appeared on her face.

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Xuan Yi, your reaction was a bit slow. You've already lost." Jiang Ying wiped the blood from her mouth and announced.

Xuan Yi, of course, could not admit that he had lost.

"What a joke, when did I lose? The battle has only just begun," Xuan Yi sneered.

But at that moment, Jiang Ying simply made a hand seal, and the next instant, Xuan Yi felt a strange power spreading throughout his body.

He quickly glanced at the spot where he had been bitten by the scorpion and saw that the skin there had turned purple. He had been poisoned, and it wasn't just a simple poison; the poison also carried a strange power.

As Jiang Ying formed hand seals, she silently chanted incantations. She was casting a spell, and under the attack of the spell's power, Xuan Yi spat out a mouthful of purple poisonous blood and immediately became weak.

"This? How is this possible? Just a bite from a poisonous insect has caused me such a serious injury?" Xuan Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and he was no longer able to fight.

Upon seeing this, Elder Tianjian immediately came to Xuan Yi's side, raised his hand and struck Xuan Yi with a palm, then used his powerful strength to pull out all the poison and curse power that had invaded Xuan Yi's body.

Upon closer inspection, it appeared that she held a phantom scorpion spirit in her hand; this was a Gu spirit.

The Five Poisons Sect's methods, including incantations, poisons, and Gu techniques, are basically combined and used together.

After the Gu spirit was captured, Xuan Yi's condition improved considerably, but he still turned pale.

"Xuan Yi, you've lost. Go back." Elder Tianjian crushed the Gu Spirit and said this to Xuan Yi.

The battle ended in such a hasty defeat that Xuan Yi was somewhat embarrassed.

"Sigh!" He sighed and returned to the platform of Tianhuo Peak.

"Master, I have disgraced you," Xuan Yi said with a dejected expression.

Peak Master Tianhuo shook his head solemnly, then asked Xuan Yi to share his feelings with everyone.

Xuan Yi honestly explained the situation. In short, he was helpless. The fire gu was completely suppressing him. Unless he was prepared, he would be doomed once the fire gu appeared.

"Haha, you flatter me. Our Five Poisons Sect wins first." Chi Lian smiled smugly at the crowd around her.

Looking at Jiang Ying on the stage, she immediately swallowed a healing pill to dispel the backlash from her body.

"Are there any fellow Daoists from the Supreme Response Sect willing to fight? I am ready to fight again," Jiang Ying said with a smile.

This time, the Taishang Ganying Sect cannot afford to lose again, or it will be a disgrace. After some thought, they decided to send a formidable figure to the stage.

On the other side of Goddess Peak, the Goddess Peak Master glanced at Chen Yao sitting beside her.

"Yao'er, go." The Goddess Peak Master gestured.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao smiled slightly, then soared into the air, her body enveloped in a rainbow of light, and landed on the arena like a butterfly scattering phosphorescent powder.

Chen Yao's appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"The energy fluctuations are so peculiar. This power seems to contain a powerful life force. This woman has some kind of special constitution."

Chen Yao's power is extraordinary, which naturally makes her a possessor of a special physique. However, even the Supreme Response Sect doesn't know what kind of physique Chen Yao has.

"Goddess Peak, Taiyao, at the peak of the Divine Body Realm, would like to ask fellow Daoist for a few pointers," Chen Yao said with a smile.

Chen Yao's self-reporting of her cultivation level surprised everyone.

"No way? Does the Supreme Response Sect have no one left? How can they send a cultivator at the Divine Body Realm to challenge a cultivator at the Divine Soul Realm?" The disciples of the Five Poisons Sect were the most puzzled.

They felt that the Taishang Ganying Sect looked down on their Five Poisons Sect.

"Shut up, this woman is not simple." The Nascent Soul disciple of the Five Poisons Sect immediately silenced those who doubted Chen Yao's combat strength.

After seeing Chen Yao go into battle, Chi Lian and the others immediately glanced at Li Bai and the others. When they saw that the people of the Supreme Response Sect were all smiling and looked confident of victory, they all frowned.

"Haha, Second Sister has arrived. This woman is doomed as soon as Second Sister appears," Ye Liuyun said confidently.

As Chen Yao stepped onto the stage, Elder Tianjian immediately announced the start of the competition.

This time, Jiang Ying took the initiative because she was confident. Her opponent was only at the Divine Body Realm, and she would be too cowardly if she didn't dare to take the initiative.

"Let me test your skills and see what makes you capable of challenging someone of a higher level."

"Ten Thousand Scorpion Burial." Jiang Ying summoned a dense swarm of poisonous scorpions that pounced on Chen Yao. Many of these scorpions could fly, and they were not just single scorpions.

Chen Yao looked at the many scorpions rushing towards her with a fierce expression.

"I hate poisonous insects the most, they can all die!" Chen Yao spat out a mouthful of colorful energy at the scorpions that pounced on her. The energy instantly melted the scorpions.

This scene made Jiang Ying frown, so she released her poison power once again, and a large amount of poison gas spread out.

However, her poison gas was no longer effective at this moment.

"Sorry, poison is useless against me." Chen Yao waved her hand, and a burst of seven-colored light swept across the poisonous mist. The poisonous gas was dispelled by Chen Yao's power before it could spread.

"Impossible? What's going on?" Jiang Ying's expression changed.

It's so strange that her poison skills were ineffective.

Since poison techniques were ineffective, Jiang Ying was left with no other option. She took a deep breath, and the power within her began to surge. A large amount of purple energy spread throughout her body, and she quickly transformed into a half-human, half-scorpion monster.

This is her divine form. There's nothing she can do. Chen Yao's two moves just now showed her that her poison skills have no effect on her. Since they don't work, she can only use other methods.

"Kill!" The woman, controlling her divine form, attacked Chen Yao at an extremely fast speed.

Chen Yao chuckled and pointed at Jiang Ying, who was rushing towards her.

"Celestial Finger - One Finger Shatters Heaven and Earth".

As Chen Yao's voice fell, a phantom finger formed by the convergence of seven-colored light rapidly descended from the sky and quickly pointed at Jiang Ying, who was rushing towards them.

The power of this attack clearly did not frighten Jiang Ying.

"Hmph! The power of a mere Divine Body Realm cultivator is nothing but wishful thinking to try and break through my divine form's defenses." Jiang Ying ignored the finger attack and had already arrived in front of Chen Yao. She was certain that Chen Yao would lose as soon as she touched her.

She ignored the attack from above, but when she was less than three steps away from Chen Yao, that finger suddenly struck her.

He suddenly pinned her to the ground, leaving Jiang Ying stunned.

Not only her, but everyone present looked extremely surprised.

Under the attack of this finger, Jiang Ying's divine form on the ground began to dissipate.

"Impossible! What kind of power is this? Why can it break my divine form? And why can't I mobilize my power?" Jiang Ying, who was pressed to the ground by the finger, was so shocked that she couldn't express it in words.

Although the attack didn't injure her, it seemed to seal her power, making her unable to mobilize it. In that case, she was no different from an ordinary person.
