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

Ye Liuyun chuckled, and then, under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, he grabbed the pill and swallowed it.

"Eh? Elder Ye, what are you doing?" Everyone was anxious. They hadn't even analyzed the effects of the pill yet, and Ye Liuyun had already taken it.

After Ye Liuyun swallowed the pill, its effects immediately came to mind.

"The Tranquilizing and Enlightenment Pill: It has a remarkable effect on cultivators who are at a bottleneck in their cultivation, and has a certain chance of helping them break through their current realm."

After learning about the effects of the pill, Ye Liuyun opened his mouth again and swallowed it.

When everyone saw Ye Liuyun spit out the pill again, they were even more confused.

"The effect of this pill is to increase the chances of a cultivator who is at a bottleneck stage breaking through," Ye Liuyun replied.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of all the alchemists present lit up.

Putting aside the percentage increase in probability, just considering that this pill is designed for cultivators facing a bottleneck in their cultivation, it couldn't possibly be a green-grade pill.

There are no such pills among the green-grade ones; they must be at least blue-grade.

"Really? Then which level of cultivator is it effective against?" someone else asked.

Ye Liuyun shook his head.

"I'm not sure about that. I guess we'll have to try it to know. You all should go and check on Miss Fu's pills again before making a decision," Ye Liuyun suggested.

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's words, the alchemists remembered that there was another person present, so they quickly went to Fu Yunshi's side.

Fu Yunshi quickly handed over the pills to them for appraisal. Fu Yunshi's pills were relatively easy to appraise because the medicinal materials she used were traceable. Although they were new pills, there were similar pills for reference, so it was easy to say.

The final result was that Fu Yunshi's pill was a kind of pill that could increase the cultivation of cultivators at the Dao Palace level. Although it was quite good, it was clearly not enough compared to Ye Liuyun's.

"Eh? Miss Fu, your pills are quite effective. There are many similar pills, but they're at most only mid-grade green level." The crowd gave a grade.

Fu Yunshi naturally understood that it was indeed only at this level.

"And what about his? What rank did you all decide?" Fu Yunshi asked again.

Everyone was in a dilemma.

"Well? That's hard to say. There are no similar pills to refer to for Elder Ye's pills. Unless someone tries them personally, it's impossible to know. But putting everything else aside, just considering that Elder Ye's pills can increase the chances of breakthroughs for cultivators who are at a bottleneck, they must be at least blue-grade pills." The crowd replied awkwardly.

Fu Yunshi was helpless upon hearing this explanation.

"Alas! There are always people more capable than you, I've lost." Fu Yunshi admitted defeat. She didn't think these alchemists were favoring Ye Liuyun, because even she herself felt she couldn't win.

As soon as Fu Yunshi conceded defeat, the cultivators of the Supreme Response Sect became excited.

"Elder Ye is awesome! Elder Ye is so handsome..."

Hearing the praises around him, Ye Liuyun smiled as broadly as a sunflower.

With Fu Yunshi conceding defeat, this alchemy competition came to a complete end.

Who can defeat an alchemist who can create pills that trigger the blessings of the Heavenly Dao? Even if the Yellow-level alchemists present were to fight Ye Liuyun, they would undoubtedly be defeated.

Therefore, Ye Liuyun officially became the final winner of today's pill-making competition, and all the alchemists had agreed that after the ceremony, they must go to Medicine Peak to exchange pill-making experiences with Ye Liuyun.

However, the Nine Heavens Holy Land lost face. As soon as Fu Yunshi returned to the Nine Heavens Holy Land platform after her defeat, someone started to mock her.

"Hmph! Someone claims to be the number one young alchemist in the Nine Heavens Domain, but I never expected him to lose to an unknown nobody, and to lose so thoroughly. He has truly disgraced our Nine Heavens Holy Land." A female cultivator in the Transformation Realm said sarcastically.

Fu Yunshi was already devastated, and then suddenly she was verbally abused by her fellow disciples, causing her emotions to become slightly unstable.

"You?" Fu Yunshi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by another person, who was Yang Tianqi, the leader of the Nine Heavens Holy Land team.

"Stop arguing. A loss is a loss. There's no need to make excuses. What we need to do next is to restore the dignity of our Nine Heavens Holy Land," Yang Tianqi sneered.

Fu Yunshi felt incredibly wronged. Yang Tianqi's apparent interruption of their argument was actually a veiled mockery of her.

"I'm going back. The rest of the competition is none of my business." Fu Yunshi took a deep breath to suppress her turbulent emotions, then turned and left.

Her journey to the Nine Heavens Holy Land had only just begun, but it had come to an end.

No one stopped Fu Yunshi from leaving, which is normal, since these people were not from the same faction.

The Nine Heavens Holy Land is larger than the Supreme Response Sect, and there is absolutely no camaraderie among disciples of such a faction.

The alchemists on the stage began to leave one after another, and Ye Liuyun followed Tai Rong and the others back to his own platform, not intending to continue.

After all, she had defeated the number one alchemy prodigy in the Nine Heavens Domain, so no one would dare to compete with her in alchemy anymore.

She only learned from her conversation with the alchemists that Fu Yunshi was the number one young alchemist in the Nine Heavens Domain.

"Haha, Aoxue, did you see my skills? I never expected that Fu Yunshi would be so famous. So, I defeated her, and from now on, I am the number one young alchemist in the Nine Heavens Domain, right?" Ye Liuyun said smugly as soon as he returned to the platform.

But Lin Aoxue's words stunned Ye Liuyun.

"What's there to be happy about? Others are seriously refining medicine, but you are? You're just a bug in the game, you know that yourself." Lin Aoxue rolled her eyes at Ye Liuyun.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun looked around somewhat guiltily.

Lin Aoxue knew what Ye Liuyun's alchemy was all about; it couldn't really be called alchemy at all. So Fu Yunshi had essentially run into a trap.

"Keep your voice down, don't let others hear you." Ye Liuyun quickly covered Lin Aoxue's mouth.

Just then, a discordant voice rang in Ye Liuyun's ears.

"Li Xiuyang of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, first level of the Primordial Spirit Realm, challenges Elder Ye of Medicine Peak."

The moment the voice came out, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue froze in their playful antics, and their expressions changed simultaneously.

Ye Liuyun lowered his hand and looked at the arena. He saw a proud young man standing on the arena, staring at Ye Liuyun with a cold expression.

Upon hearing this, Tai Rong and the others frowned deeply. It was clear that the Nine Heavens Holy Land was unwilling to accept defeat and wanted to regain their honor through force.

"Senior Daohua, do you think this is appropriate? Our Elder Ye has fought several battles in a row, she must be tired. It's a bit unreasonable for the disciples of the Holy Land to suddenly challenge her again, isn't it?" Li Bai had no choice but to speak up at this moment.

Dao Hua was also a little embarrassed, but he could only shamelessly explain.

"Ahem, well, they are all geniuses from various factions in the Holy Land, I can't control them. Besides, it's just a friendly spar. If Elder Ye doesn't want to compete, he can just go down and concede after a few moves," Dao Hua said with a smile.

Dao Hua's words weren't entirely nonsense; she genuinely couldn't control these guys.

Don't be fooled by his status as a Five Elements Realm expert. In the Nine Heavens Holy Land, a Five Elements Realm expert is at most just an ordinary elder of a faction.

Since Dao Hua had already said that, Li Bai couldn't continue to complain.

However, the disciples of the Supreme Response Sect were clearly unhappy, and even Xuan Tian and Xuan Chi, who were at odds with Ye Liuyun, seemed very dissatisfied.

They disliked Ye Liuyun, but Li Xiuyang was even more detestable.

"What is this? Isn't this taking advantage of someone's weakness? Ye Liuyun has fought four matches in a row, he must be exhausted. Sending a Nascent Soul cultivator to challenge him at this time is just being a sore loser." The disciples of the Supreme Response Sect couldn't help but mutter to themselves.

However, under the pressure of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, they only dared to complain in a low voice and dared not shout loudly. There was nothing they could do. The other party had great power, and even if they were openly shameless, what could they say?

"I'll go." Lin Aoxue looked at the guy on the stage and couldn't help but show a cold and stern expression. Then she stood up and prepared to leave the stage.

But Ye Liuyun grabbed her and held her down.

"Hey, hey, hey! We agreed before that even if we were to go up, we could only fight against cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm. This guy is a Nascent Soul cultivator." Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes and said.

"I can give this guy a good beating with 70% of my strength," Lin Aoxue said angrily. It was the first time Lin Aoxue had ever felt that someone was so deserving of a beating.

"Hey, don't be stubborn. He's challenging me, not you. Let me go." Ye Liuyun was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold Lin Aoxue down, so he quickly jumped off the stage and landed in front of Li Xiuyang.

Ye Liuyun didn't give this guy a friendly look.

"What are we competing in?" Ye Liuyun asked directly.

"Hehe, naturally it's a contest of martial prowess. Elder Ye just defeated our Nine Heavens Holy Land in the art of medicine. Next, I hope Elder Ye can also demonstrate his martial prowess," Li Xiuyang said with a strange laugh.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then asked in return.

"There's no problem with fighting strength, but the problem is, Fellow Daoist Li, I am just a mere alchemist with a very low cultivation level. I am only at the Spirit Stream Realm, while you are a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator. How can I possibly defeat you?"

Ye Liuyun's sarcastic tone made the disciples of the Supreme Response Sect, who were initially somewhat indignant, burst into laughter.

They felt that Ye Liuyun was just teasing Li Xiuyang.

"Is Ye Liuyun just trying to fool Li Xiuyang? A body cultivator claiming to be only at the Spirit Stream Realm?" Many disciples couldn't help but laugh.

Li Xiuyang isn't an idiot. Given Ye Liuyun's ability to leap thousands of meters not long ago, could he possibly be a Spirit Stream Realm cultivator? Anyone can see that he's a Body Cultivator.

"Are you kidding me? Do you think I don't know you're a cultivator? Kid, don't think you can fool the people of our Nine Heavens Holy Land just because you're good at alchemy." Li Xiuyang warned with a hostile expression.

Seeing that this guy had seen through his thoughts, Ye Liuyun could only shrug his shoulders.

"Alright then, let's begin." Ye Liuyun nodded indifferently.

Since this guy is asking for a beating, Ye Liuyun has no choice but to give him a good beating.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun had decided to begin, Li Xiuyang quickly reminded the Supreme Response Sect.

"Senior, please activate the grand formation."

Elder Tianjian disliked Li Xiuyang's tone and attitude. She muttered to herself that she hoped Ye Liuyun would teach this guy a lesson, but she still activated the formation.

As the formation enveloped the two of them, Ye Liuyun asked another question.

"Hey! Fellow Daoist Li, shall we begin?"

When Ye Liuyun asked him a question, Li Xiuyang gave a cold laugh.

“Nonsense, of course we can begin,” Li Xiuyang replied.

But just as this guy answered Ye Liuyun, Ye Liuyun suddenly threw a punch at Li Xiuyang from a distance.

Ye Liuyun's punch was released precisely at the end of Li Xiuyang's sentence. Li Xiuyang had no time to react and was accurately struck in the face by Ye Liuyun's full-force punch, which was imbued with true essence and the power of the Nine Revolutions Divine Ability.

This punch was very heavy, reaching the attack power of the second level of the Nascent Soul realm.

After being hit, Li Xiuyang's eyes rolled back.

"A sneak attack?" This was Li Xiuyang's last thought before he lost consciousness.

Li Xiuyang was sent flying on the spot, first crashing heavily into the barrier, then bounced off the barrier and fell to the ground, where he completely lost consciousness.

All of this happened so suddenly that no one had time to react. The disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land were also taken aback by Ye Liuyun's sudden attack.

But the most outrageous thing is that Li Xiuyang actually fainted from just one punch. This is a cultivator at the Transformation Realm! Is he really that fragile?

The cultivators from other realms were all so wide-open that they could fit eggs in their mouths, and some even had their jaws about to drop to the ground.

"That's it? That's too weak!" Ye Liuyun said speechlessly.

The surrounding crowd was still in shock, and the entire Debate Peak was silent.

"Heavens! Elder Ye, you knocked out a Nascent Soul cultivator with a single punch? This, he's too strong!" Finally, some disciples of the Supreme Induction Sect reacted.

But as soon as they said those words, the stunned disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land were enraged.

"Ye Liuyun, you actually launched a sneak attack during our Daoist sparring session?" Another disciple from the Nine Heavens Holy Land, at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage, couldn't help but roar.

Not only him, but everyone else was also filled with righteous indignation; they certainly could not accept this outcome.

"A sneak attack? Hey! Fellow Daoist of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, don't lie through your teeth, okay? Just now, didn't I specifically ask this Fellow Daoist Li Xiuyang if it was okay to start? He said it was okay to start, so I made my move. Is that a sneak attack?" Ye Liuyun retorted.

Ye Liuyun's words were reasonable and well-founded, and the disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land were unable to refute them for a time.

It's like you're in a race with someone, and you haven't started running even after I've told you to. Who can you blame? You can only blame yourself for being slow to react.

"You? Elder Tianjian, is Elder Ye suitable for this position?" The disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, unable to argue with Ye Liuyun, could only put pressure on Elder Tianjian.

After hearing this, Elder Tianjian thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Since it has been said that it has begun, then the moment it began is naturally the battle phase. Ye Liuyun has not violated the rules of the competition."

Elder Tianjian's answer greatly displeased the people of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

"Alright, shut up. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? Go and bring the person back." Yang Tianqi snorted coldly.

When Yang Tianqi spoke, the crowd reluctantly flew onto the arena and took away the unconscious Li Xiuyang.

Li Xiuyang woke up quickly after returning to the floating platform, and as soon as she woke up, she knew that she had lost.

"Ye Liuyun, you shameless scoundrel! How dare you ambush me! I refuse to accept this!" Li Xiuyang roared angrily from the floating platform.

Ye Liuyun ignored him and then addressed the people from the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

"Fellow Daoists of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, who is still willing to come down and offer their guidance?"

Ye Liuyun's posture made everyone in the Nine Heavens Holy Land look grim, but no one dared to rush down again, because they had to admit that Ye Liuyun's punch was very strong, enough to defeat a cultivator at the first level of the Nascent Soul realm.

Although there was an element of surprise attack involved, I doubt many of them could withstand that punch.
