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

It only took her a week to go from being initially agitated and restless to gradually calming down. Qi Chaoying became more and more disappointed. Helpless, she waited every day for herself to turn back to normal after waking up, but the result was disappointment after disappointment. After being disappointed too many times, she would definitely give up.

In addition, the effects of this pill made her more responsive.

A month later, this unstable space completely returned to normal, and the strange changes in the sect gradually returned to normal. Except for Qi Chaoying, the entire Yunxia Sect seemed as if nothing had happened.

Before long, all the disciples knew that Qi Chaoying could not turn back after becoming a woman. Yun Che even called Qi Chaoying over to ask her about it.

"Chaoying, what do you plan to do?"

At Yun Che's residence, Qi Chaoying, dressed in the robes of a male disciple, stood somewhat dejectedly in front of Yun Che.

"I don't know, Uncle-Master, why am I the only one who can't change back? I feel like God is targeting me." Qi Chaoying sighed repeatedly.

"Who can predict these things? You can only accept your bad luck and try to adapt," Yun Che comforted him.

This is an attempt to persuade Qi Chaoying to take things easier; otherwise, she will only hurt herself.

A moment later, Qi Chaoying also came out of Yun Che's residence. For a moment, she felt that her life was dark and hopeless. It had been a month, and the sect had recovered to its original state, but she was the only one who had changed gender.

She's too ashamed to show her face now, and has become the biggest joke in the sect. It's all over the place, and Senior Brother Qi has become Senior Sister Qi.

However, the bad days of the entire sect are over, but other troubles have also arisen. Although the previous reforms were terminated because the higher-ups changed back to their original genders, the group of people who returned from the Yun Sect have also started to cause trouble.

They began to openly seize power, but this seizure was not by force; rather, they demanded that Yunyun grant them a certain degree of autonomy.

To put it bluntly, for example, the Alchemy Pavilion has gained a new deputy pavilion master, and this deputy pavilion master is a returning Dao Palace level three cultivator named Yun Xiang, who demands to have the same rights as Yun Xiao.

Chapter 100 Sun Wukong (Bonus Chapter)

The return of these people will inevitably lead to a decentralization of power from the original top management. Their return was too sudden, and there was no time to make arrangements for them.

But now that they've been back for over a month, it's practically impossible for Yun Yun to keep them hanging on.

So after some discussion, they decided to grant these returnees almost the same rights as Yunxiao and the others from before.

Firstly, they can also recruit their own disciples and command disciples within their sect, making them almost no different from Yunxiao and his group.

It just means that the elders are ranked relatively low, and they are still nominally only deputies, so they are subordinates of the chief.

As for whether Yunxiao and his group can command these people, that's hard to say.

Since their strengths are roughly equal, whether you can command the other depends entirely on their mood. When they're in a good mood, they might give you some face; when they're in a bad mood, they're lucky if they don't criticize you.

Yun Che, as the vice sect leader, has expanded his management from returning cultivators to all cultivators in the sect. In theory, the vice sect leader possesses all the authority of the sect leader.

Of course, this is only nominal. It's fine to make your own decisions about small matters, but when it comes to big matters, you need to report to Yun Yun.

In fact, Yun Yun has essentially delegated power, and all of this was agreed to by Yun Tian. Even if Yun Yun has objections, she can only comply.

The sect appears to have returned to normal, but in reality, undercurrents are surging.

On this day, Ye Liuyun left his residence as usual to go to the Alchemy Pavilion to carry out a mission, but as soon as he stepped out, he saw that stinky monkey again.

Some time ago, those lively animals seemed to have all stayed in the back mountain because of the strange changes in the Yunxia Sect.

Once everything was back to normal, they returned.

"Hey, it's you again, you stinky monkey! I'm warning you, don't touch my peach tree. It's not grown up yet. There are so many peach trees in the sect, why don't you go stay on one of the other peach trees?" Ye Liuyun scolded the monkey.

But this time, the scolding was useless. The monkey was very human-like; it made a face at Ye Liuyun and squatted on the wall, refusing to leave.

This put Ye Liuyun in a dilemma; she certainly couldn't let the monkey stay here indefinitely.

So she thought for a moment, and then suddenly sped up, appearing in front of the monkey in an instant. The monkey was so frightened that its fur stood on end and it tried to run away.

Unfortunately, Ye Liuyun grabbed its tail.

The monkey struggled frantically, scratching and clawing at Ye Liuyun, but given Ye Liuyun's physical strength, its efforts were like a mere tickle.

"Hehe, I let you go last time, but this time you've come knocking on my door again, so don't blame me for being impolite." Ye Liuyun grabbed the monkey by the tail and stared at it with a dangerous look, laughing strangely.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's expression, the monkey turned green. Unfortunately, he brought it on himself. To protect his peach tree from being destroyed by the monkey, Ye Liuyun had no choice but to reluctantly take a monkey as a pet.

A moment later, a collar and a rope appeared around the monkey's neck, and Ye Liuyun was dragging it away from its residence like a dog.

The monkey looked utterly dejected, lying on the ground as Ye Liuyun dragged it away.

"Hey? Isn't that the monkey that stole clothes? Junior Sister Ye, how did you do that? We tried to catch this monkey before, but it easily escaped." Some female disciples who recognized the monkey immediately gathered around to watch.

When Ye Liuyun saw everyone asking her how she did it, she immediately boasted about herself with great pride.

"Hehe, I have my own tricks up my sleeve. I hereby officially declare that this monkey is now my pet, and I have named him Sun Wukong (the Great Sage Sun Wukong)." Ye Liuyun announced proudly.

Upon hearing the name, the monkey immediately began to squawk in dissatisfaction.

"By the way, Junior Sister Ye, the Sect Master and the Vice Sect Master both said that these intelligent wild beasts can only be driven away, not harmed. Won't what you're doing cause trouble?" A female disciple squatted down in front of Sun Dasheng, wanting to reach out and touch him, but was scared back by Sun Dasheng's bared teeth.

"I didn't hurt him. I just caught him and kept him as a pet. That way, I can prevent him from doing bad things. Don't you think so?" Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

After thinking about it, everyone agreed that it made sense.

“That’s true. By the way, Junior Sister Ye, I’m going out on a mission today. Didn’t you say that if we need any pills, we can buy them from you? Could you sell me a few life-saving pills?” A mid-level disciple who was about to go on a mission asked with a smile.

This is a mid-level outer disciple named Yu Yuan, a lively-looking girl at the Spirit River Realm.

"Yes, Senior Sister, may I speak to you privately?" Ye Liuyun did not refuse, but instead gestured for her to come with her to a secluded place. Of course, before leaving, Ye Liuyun also greeted the other senior sisters.

Ye Liuyun was the lowest in the sect in terms of cultivation level, at the early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm. Therefore, she could call girls "Senior Sister" and male cultivators "Senior Brother" without any problem.

These female disciples understood that such private transactions of elixirs should not be too conspicuous, so they didn't say much and went about their own business.

After arriving at a secluded spot, Ye Liuyun inquired about Yu Yuan's whereabouts before handing her a small porcelain bottle.

"Senior Sister Yu, this is a Heaven-Returning Heart-Protecting Pill that I refined. It has excellent healing effects. You just need to swallow it in advance. If you encounter a life-threatening crisis, this pill can protect your life at the critical moment," Ye Liuyun said softly.

Yu Yuan immediately took the pill out of curiosity, opened it, and saw a very beautiful golden pill inside.

She had never seen such a beautiful elixir.

"What a peculiar pill! How much contribution points does it require?" Yu Yuan asked in surprise.

"It's not much, just give me a hundred contribution points. This is a good thing, a hundred contribution points is definitely worth it, but Senior Sister, you must eat it in front of me," Ye Liuyun said seriously.

One hundred contribution points surprised Yu Yuan. If it really was something that could save her life, she would be willing to pay not only one hundred contribution points, but also ten thousand or even ten thousand contribution points.

She thought for a moment, then transferred one hundred contribution points from her contribution tokens to Ye Liuyun, and finally swallowed the pill in front of Ye Liuyun.

This is an improved version of the Rejuvenation Pill refined by Ye Liuyun. This pill is a trigger-based pill; once the user's body suffers severe injury, the outer protective layer of the pill will immediately shatter, activating its effect and healing the injury.

There was no reaction immediately after swallowing the pill.

"This? What a peculiar pill! It wasn't absorbed by my body? Junior Sister Ye, how did you do that?" Yu Yuan asked curiously.

Ye Liuyun explained it briefly, but Yu Yuan only vaguely understood.

"Alright, Senior Sister Yu, you mustn't tell anyone about our private pill trading. If the sect finds out, they might come after me," Ye Liuyun said.

Yu Yuan nodded, and the two parted ways. Yu Yuan then rode her flying sword to the entrance of the sect, where several intermediate disciples were already waiting for her. Their mission for the day was to deal with a demon attack. A village dozens of miles south of Yunxia Sect had been attacked by a wild boar demon.

They were going to kill this pig demon.

(This Yu Yuan character was created for a member of the group.)

Chapter 101 The Beginning of the Conflict (Bonus Chapter)

Ye Liuyun led his pet monkey, attracting a lot of attention along the way. After all, this monkey was a celebrity in the sect, or rather, a famous monkey.

Just as Ye Liuyun was about to enter the alchemy pavilion, he heard a noisy commotion inside, as if some disciples were having a conflict.

"Strange? What's going on in the Alchemy Pavilion? Why is it so lively?"

Ye Liuyu looked at the crowd at the entrance and was puzzled.

She reached out and grabbed Sun Wukong by the back of the neck, lifted him up, and then pushed through the crowd to get inside.

Excuse me, excuse me, could you please let me through?

Upon entering, Ye Liuyun discovered that three disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion were reprimanding dozens of former disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion.

Anyone who has received a disciple token from the Alchemy Pavilion is considered a disciple of the Alchemy Pavilion. It's just unclear why these three returning personal disciples were reprimanding them.

"Is this supposed to be a pill? What kind of garbage is this? The color and quality are so poor. You're the disciple in charge of pill review, right? Is this how you review pills?" A somewhat arrogant male disciple held up a pill in front of the disciple in charge of reviewing the pills, letting him see for himself.

Ye Liuyun knew all the disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion. The ones being reprimanded were all acquaintances of hers. The disciple in charge of task handover was named Yuan Hao, the disciple in charge of distributing materials was named Yao Xuan, and the disciple in charge of guarding the pill storehouse was named Tian Hong.

They were all the highest-ranking disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion besides Nalan Yan, and they were also core disciples of the inner sect.

Unfortunately, I was scolded like a grandson today.

"This? Senior Brother Wang Sai, is there a problem with this pill?" Yuan Hao asked, frowning. He felt that these three guys were just here to cause trouble.

"Any problems? You bumpkins are just bumpkins, you've never seen the world. Let me show you what I've got. Take a look at the pills I've made." Wang Sai took out a bottle of pills he had made himself.

After he poured out the pill, its luster was indeed better than most of the pills refined by the disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion, but that was all; in Ye Liuyun's eyes, it was just another ordinary product.

"Open your eyes wide and look at the luster of my pills. Is it the same as the quality of yours?" Wang Sai asked proudly, holding up his pills.

These disciples who were scolded were all alchemists, so they could naturally tell that this pill was indeed much better than the medicine they made.

So none of them could refute it.

"Hehe! See? Speechless now? The pills you've refined are only the lowest grade. Do you know how much efficacy that will result? I can't control what you did before, but from today onwards, your pill-refining skills must be improved, otherwise, the mission will not be approved," Wang Sai declared.

This puts them in a difficult position.

"This? Senior Brother Wang, aren't you going a bit too far? You're just nitpicking. Your pills are only better in luster; their efficacy isn't necessarily stronger than ours. As far as I know, only pills with pill patterns can improve their effects," Yuan Hao said, frowning.

Yuan Hao's retort definitely displeased Wang Sai. Wang Sai glared at him, and the next moment, a surge of spiritual energy struck Yuan Hao, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"You?" Yuan Hao staggered back a few steps, completely stunned.

"What do you mean, 'you'? I am a direct disciple of the Alchemy Pavilion, and you are just a core inner disciple. What right do you have to question me? Just follow orders. This attack is a lesson for you. If you dare to disobey me again, don't blame me for being impolite," Wang Sai sneered.

Yuan Hao was furious but dared not speak out for a moment, but just then, an unpleasant voice entered the ears of Wang Sai and the others.

"Wang Sai, what are you doing?" Nalan Yan walked in from outside the alchemy pavilion, and the disciples blocking the door quickly made way for her.

As soon as Wang Sai and the other two saw Nalan Yan, they immediately burst into laughter.

"Oh, it's Junior Sister Nalan. Well, I was ordered by my master to check the quality of the pills, and I found that the pills they were making were too cheap and shoddy, so I called them over and raised the standards a bit," Wang Sai said calmly.

Nalan Yan knew that these guys were just trying to establish their authority as new officials, so they deliberately caused trouble. If they didn't find a reason to annoy their former disciples, who would listen to them?

Yesterday, Yunxiao reminded Nalan Yan to be more restrained, because these people would definitely cause trouble, and things wouldn't be peaceful.

Not only the Alchemy Pavilion, but also the Martial Arts Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall, and the Affairs Pavilion were all in considerable turmoil today, with situations similar to those in the Alchemy Pavilion.

"Standards? What standards? My master hasn't even asked me to raise the standards, so what right do you have to do so? Besides, who gave you permission to attack a fellow disciple in public? The sect has rules against attacking other disciples at will within the sect." Nalan Yan reprimanded Yuan Hao immediately after glancing at his condition.

But Wang Sai doesn't think so.

“But the sect has rules. If a lower-level disciple commits an act of disrespect, a slight punishment is acceptable, right? Yuan Hao questioned a direct disciple, so isn’t that an act of disrespect?” Wang Sai chuckled.

“That’s right. Yuan Hao committed insubordination. It’s already good enough that the disciples of the Enforcement Hall didn’t punish him. Senior Sister Nalan, are you going to oppose the Vice Pavilion Master’s order? This order to reorganize the Alchemy Pavilion was issued by Vice Pavilion Master Yun Xiang.” A returning female disciple brought up Yun Xiang.

But Nalan Yan wasn't buying it.

"Is this how you organize things? Do you know how precious their time is? You all go back to your homes," Nalan Yan ordered.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hao was just about to leave.

But Wang Sai immediately shouted angrily.

"Who dares to leave? What? Just because Nalan Yan is a direct disciple doesn't mean we are?" Wang Sai shouted angrily.

Yuan Hao and his group were forced to stop again, leaving everyone angry but unable to speak out; it was clearly a case of looking for trouble.

Nalan Yan also knew that Yuan Hao and the others were doing this on purpose. Their actions were clearly aimed at her, since she was the leader of these disciples.

"Hehe! It seems that Senior Brother Wang is after me. Alright, since that's the case, Senior Brother Wang, how about this? We are both alchemists, so why don't we decide the future of the Alchemy Pavilion based on the quality of our pills?" Nalan Yan took a deep breath and then suggested.

Upon hearing this, Wang Sai and the other two immediately laughed; their goal had been achieved.

“You said it yourself, Junior Sister Nalan. If I win, you are not allowed to interfere with our mission arrangements in the future,” Wang Sai said with a smile.

Nalan Yan snorted coldly, then walked towards the largest alchemy pavilion in the alchemy hall. This was where Yunxiao lectured on alchemy knowledge, and today it would become the venue for the competition.

Moreover, he was refining pills in front of all his disciples.

"Hey, hurry up and go to the Alchemy Pavilion to watch the show! Senior Sister Nalan and her three returning disciples are going to have a public alchemy competition." In the disciple market, informed disciples were spreading the news everywhere.

This was quite an interesting situation, so many disciples who had nothing to do flocked to the Alchemy Pavilion, and the higher-ups must have found out about it very quickly.

Yunxiao and Yunxiang arrived at the Alchemy Pavilion immediately; they definitely wanted to witness this event.
