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

"Sister Liuyun, did you also receive the notification from Uncle Tianhuo?" Just then, Nalan Yan flew over.

Ye Liuyun was researching pills at her own dojo when the Heavenly Fire Peak Master suddenly sent her a message, asking her to come to Heavenly Fire Peak to discuss something.

"Sister Nalan, you're here too? No way, did Qingxue and Xiaorou get into trouble?" Ye Liuyun muttered thoughtfully, looking at the collapsed mountain peak in front of her.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yan was taken aback. Just then, several more figures flew over. Upon closer inspection, they were almost all the Daoist partners of other faction peak masters.

"Hey, Junior Sister Nalan, and Junior Sister Ye, were you also summoned by Senior Sister Tianhuo?" The female disciples were quite confused.

Alright, once Ye Liuyun saw these people, he was basically certain what had happened.

In the morning, Ye Qingxue told her that she was going to come to Tianhuo Peak with Xiaorou and a few other friends.

Now that one of the branch peaks of Tianhuo Peak has collapsed, the parents of these children have been summoned by the Tianhuo Peak Master. Isn't that obvious?

Ye Liuyun's lips twitched slightly. After greeting everyone, he flew into Tianhuo Peak and arrived at the main hall of Tianhuo Peak.

Upon entering, one could see the daughter and her friends standing in a row in the main hall, heads bowed, while the Heavenly Fire Peak Master and her Daoist partner sat in the high seat, coldly watching the little ones before them.

Ye Liuyun and the others looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this scene.

"It's over, Junior Sister Ye, it must be our child who caused trouble. You have a lot of influence, you'll have to help us later." The Daoist partners of these faction peak masters sent a very stiff message to Ye Liuyun.

Because the Heavenly Fire Peak Master is known for his fiery temper.

Ye Liuyun wasn't afraid of the Heavenly Fire Peak Master, but the problem was, she was afraid of Lin Aoxue.

"Ahem, well, Senior Sister Tianhuo, what happened? Why did you suddenly call us over?" Ye Liuyun walked over with a smile.

When the Heavenly Fire Peak Master saw Ye Liuyun asking a question, he didn't speak immediately, but just stared at Ye Liuyun and the others.

The look in his eyes sent chills down Ye Liuyun's spine.

After a moment's hesitation, she offered a reminder.

"Fellow junior sisters, when you arrived, you should have seen that one of our Heavenly Fire Peak's branch peaks had collapsed, right? And you should have seen that huge crater not far away, right?"

Except for Ye Liuyun, all the parents looked extremely worried. If the collapse of the mountain was related to their children, they would be in for a lot of trouble.

The group walked up behind their respective daughters.

Ye Liuyun raised a finger and poked her daughter's back.

"Hey! You brat, what have you done?" Ye Liuyun transmitted his thoughts.

This silver-haired loli is Ye Qingxue from a hundred years in the future. However, because she started cultivating very early and has always stayed in the Supreme Response Sect, she currently looks only eight or nine years old.

It's very cute, like a porcelain doll.

"Mom, you have to save me! I was just curious about the effects of your pills. I saw you combine several pills together last time and it produced a miraculous effect, so I tried it too. Who knew it would be so powerful? It blasted a huge crater and even collapsed one of the peaks of Tianhuo Peak!" Ye Qingxue quickly replied with her divine sense.

Ye Liuyun's pretty face darkened upon hearing this.

"Alright, I think my junior sisters already know what happened. Fortunately, no disciples of my Heavenly Fire Peak were injured, otherwise I would have called the Enforcement Hall directly. Tell me, the branch peak where my Heavenly Fire Peak disciples live has collapsed. How do you all plan to compensate my Heavenly Fire Peak for the loss?" The Heavenly Fire Peak Master rested his face on one hand and kept tapping the armrest with the other.

Everyone was embarrassed. Apart from Ye Liuyun, the others present might not be able to afford to pay for it.

"Junior Sister Ye, say something! This was blown up by your daughter, so you're the one who has to pay for it. We can't afford to pay for it," someone urged Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

"Alright! Senior Sister Tianhuo, tell me how much compensation you want," Ye Liuyun asked.

When the Heavenly Fire Peak Master saw that Ye Liuyun had spoken, he didn't waste any time.

"Junior Sister Ye is so straightforward. Alright, first, compensate me with a branch peak of Heavenly Fire Peak. This branch peak must be at least five to eight thousand meters high. Then, compensate for the losses on the branch peak. I have already drawn up a list. Junior Sister Ye, take a look for yourself." The Heavenly Fire Peak Master casually waved a list and handed it to Ye Liuyun.

After Ye Liuyun finished reading the list, the corner of his eye twitched involuntarily.

"Damn it, isn't this taking advantage of someone's misfortune? A single floor tile costs ten spirit coins, and with the rest, I'll have to pay out three hundred million spirit coins." Ye Liuyun complained inwardly after reading the list.

Three hundred million spirit coins were nothing to her, but she was willing to bet that one hundred million spirit coins would be enough to rebuild this branch of Heavenly Fire Peak, and it wouldn't even take three hundred million.

The parents around immediately glanced at the list with their divine sense. Upon seeing it, their scalps tingled. They knew there would be a lot of compensation, but they didn't expect it to be this much—three hundred million spirit coins? It would be very difficult for them to come up with that much money on their own.

"Three hundred million! Alright, I'll pay." Ye Liuyun glanced helplessly at Peak Master Tianhuo and said this through divine sense.

"Senior Sister Tianhuo, you're taking advantage of our misfortune!"

A strange smile appeared on the face of the Heavenly Fire Peak Master.

"This is compensation plus punishment," Peak Master Tianhuo replied.

Ye Liuyun was speechless for a moment, and then could only take out a storage ring and toss it to Peak Master Tianhuo.

After taking the ring, the Heavenly Fire Peak Master glanced at it and then put it away with satisfaction.

"Alright, you can leave now. I hope you'll discipline your children properly when you get back. Oh, and Junior Sister Ye, please find a suitable mountain peak as soon as possible and send them to our Heavenly Fire Peak." The Heavenly Fire Peak Master said indifferently, issuing an order to leave.

Ye Liuyun sighed heavily again.

"Understood, by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

After saying that, everyone quickly left Tianhuo Peak.

They each took their children and left, while Ye Liuyun and Nalan Yan flew towards Medicine Peak.

"Rou'er, they're making a scene, and you're doing the same thing? You even caused their branch peak to collapse. Don't think you're not responsible. Go back and be confined to your quarters, facing the wall in repentance. You're not allowed to come out for a month." Nalan Yan said angrily to her daughter.

Nalan Rou did not refute anything.

"Oh, I know I was wrong." Nalan Rou nodded helplessly.

"Hey? Aunt Nalan, this has nothing to do with Xiaorou, it was me who caused this, please don't punish her," Ye Qingxue quickly said.

As soon as Ye Qingxue opened her mouth, Ye Liuyun immediately retorted.

"Shut up! You, the one who started this, have the nerve to plead for others? When we get back, I'll have your mother give you a good talking to." Ye Liuyun glared at her.

"Isn't Mother in seclusion breaking through to the second level of the Nascent Soul realm? She doesn't have time to come out and beat me up," Ye Qingxue said smugly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun was furious and grabbed Ye Qingxue by the back of her collar, lifting her up.

"You brat, do you think I wouldn't dare to hit you? You think you can get away with this? Let me tell you, you've really messed up today. Luckily, no one was hurt. If you had, it wouldn't just be a matter of paying money, you know that?"

Ye Liuyun held Ye Qingxue in one arm and pinched her cheek with the other, scolding her very seriously.

Ye Qingxue realized that she had gone a bit too far, but she definitely didn't do it on purpose; she was simply curious about the pills her mother had made.

"I'm sorry, I promise I'll never mess with pills again," Ye Qingxue said weakly.

Seeing that his daughter had admitted her mistake, Ye Liuyun felt it was inappropriate to continue the conversation.

But just as they were on their way back to Yaofeng, a clear and loud announcement suddenly came from the sky.

"Announcing to all cultivators of the Nine Heavens Domain, our Nine Heavens Holy Land's once-every-five-hundred-years Jade Pool Immortal Gathering will be held in the Jade Pool Immortal Realm on Nine Heavens Island in three days. All cultivators of the Nine Heavens Domain under the age of five hundred and whose cultivation level exceeds the Four Extremes Secret Realm are requested to come to the Nine Heavens Holy Land to register for participation. Registration is limited to one week." This was the voice of a Life and Death Realm expert from the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

The sound reached the ears of almost every cultivator in the Nine Heavens Domain.

However, some people are happy, while others are saddened.

Those who are happy are those whose age and level of understanding both meet the requirements.

Those who sigh are naturally not up to standard.

The news sent shockwaves through the entire Nine Heavens Domain.

Even a powerful force like the Supreme Response Sect couldn't resist the allure of the Jade Pool Immortal Gathering. Why? Because every time the Jade Pool Immortal Gathering is held, the Nine Heavens Holy Land opens its secret realm.

This place contains countless treasures from the Nine Heavens Holy Land, including many cultivation techniques and treasures from the Divine Path Secret Realm.

However, this secret realm has great restrictions. Even people from within the Nine Heavens Holy Land cannot enter. This secret realm was established by the Nine Heavens Emperor to select top disciples for the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

This place opens once every five hundred years, and each time it opens for one month. After one month, the secret realm will automatically close. Once it is not open, even a divine cultivator cannot open it.

The inheritances of the Nine Heavens Emperor and the powerful figures of the Nine Heavens Holy Land throughout history are also included. It is said that as long as one obtains the inheritance of the Nine Heavens Emperor, one can gain control of the Emperor Weapon and the Heavenly Emperor Scripture. No one can resist such temptation.

Even if we can't get these things, it would be great if we could get a Heaven-rank magic weapon or even a divine magic weapon from it.

Upon hearing this voice, Ye Liuyun murmured something.

"Three hundred years have passed? Sigh! Time flies. Looks like there's more to do." Ye Liuyun smiled.

Just as the notification from the Nine Heavens Holy Land ended, a beam of azure light shot into the sky from the direction of the Goddess Pavilion on Heavenly Dao Peak, causing the world to change color and the wind and clouds to surge.

Lin Aoxue has broken through to the second level of the Nascent Soul Realm. You should know that she only reached the Transformation Realm from the peak of the Divine Soul Realm more than seventy years ago. I didn’t expect that she would break through again in such a short time.

"Haha, Aoxue's breakthrough came at just the right time." Tianyi Ancestor and the others beamed with joy as they watched the commotion on Lin Aoxue's side.

Chapter 603 A Kind Mother and a Strict Mother (5000 words + 400 monthly votes bonus chapter)

Each breakthrough in the Transformation Mystic Realm requires undergoing a tribulation, and the intensity of this tribulation is no less than that of a major realm breakthrough.

To break through from the first level of the Primordial Spirit Realm to the second level, one must withstand nine lightning tribulations comparable to a full-force attack from the first level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Lin Aoxue's primordial spirit flew out of her body. After her primordial spirit left her body, thunder and lightning began to flash in the sky. Although they were all tribulations, the power of tribulations varied depending on the realm.

Moreover, the danger of undergoing tribulation in the primordial spirit stage is at least ten times higher than that in the physical body stage, and many primordial spirit cultivators die during the tribulation stage.

However, this tribulation was a bit of a joke for Lin Aoxue, because after her primordial spirit emerged, the lightning that struck her was deflected by the white light emanating from her primordial spirit.

Lin Aoxue seemed to have never encountered any setbacks during her tribulations; she almost always passed through them smoothly and easily, as if the tribulations had opened a back door for her.

Ancestor Tianyi and the others had witnessed Lin Aoxue's tribulation as she entered the Mystic Transformation Realm from the peak of the Divine Soul Realm. That tribulation was even more powerful, but it couldn't harm Lin Aoxue in the slightest; it was all blocked by Lin Aoxue's special power.

After striking for a while, the lightning, seeing that it could not harm Lin Aoxue, wisely dissipated, and Lin Aoxue officially entered the second level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Then the spirit returned to the body, and everything returned to normal.

After her primordial spirit returned to her body, Lin Aoxue slowly opened her eyes, then walked out of her secluded cultivation place with a smile and came to the outside of the Goddess Pavilion.

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Tianyi and the others immediately informed Lin Aoxue about the opening of the Yaochi Immortal Gathering.

"Congratulations, Aoxue! The Yaochi Immortal Gathering, which happens once every five hundred years, has begun. Your emergence from seclusion is very timely." Ancestor Tianyi, along with Li Bai and Lin Tianya, came to Lin Aoxue's side immediately.

Lin Aoxue had already heard the telepathic message from the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

"Yes, I understand. Great-grandfather, master, grandmaster, don't worry, I will definitely achieve good results in the Yaochi Immortal Gathering," Lin Aoxue said confidently.

The three of them smiled and nodded; they were naturally not worried about Lin Aoxue.

"Oh, Aoxue, I think after the Yaochi Immortal Gathering ends, why don't you come back and take over my position? With your strength, you're already qualified for this position," Li Bai said casually.

However, the old ancestor Tianyi had a new idea.

“Taibai, I think this matter needs to be discussed again. If the Holy Land intends to groom Aoxue to succeed the next Holy Lord, I think you might need to consider finding a different successor,” said Ancestor Tianyi.

Previously, the Heavenly Ancestor had hoped that Lin Aoxue would stay in the Supreme Response Sect and become its successor, but the past hundred years had slightly changed her mind.

Their Taishang Ganying Sect was still too small. The Nine Heavens Holy Land had everything except talent. Reason told her that Lin Aoxue would be better off developing in the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

"Huh? Master, you promised me, you don't mean to let me stay in this position any longer, do you? Let me tell you, no way." Li Bai shook his head and refused.

Ancestor Tianyi rolled his eyes.

"Don't worry, there will be other candidates later," said Ancestor Tianyi.

He meant that even if Li Bai didn't take the position, someone else would.

Upon hearing this, Li Bai became indifferent. Once a successor was found, he would leave the Nine Heavens Domain and travel around the Eastern Continent.

"Aoxue, haha, congratulations on breaking through to the second level of the Nascent Soul realm after your seclusion." Just then, Ye Liuyun brought Ye Qingxue to the Goddess Pavilion.

Upon seeing her mother emerge from seclusion, Ye Qingxue immediately skipped and hopped towards Lin Aoxue.

"Mother, you've finally come out of seclusion." Ye Qingxue jumped slightly as she came to Lin Aoxue's side, then wrapped her arms around Lin Aoxue's neck, and Lin Aoxue hugged her back.

"You brat, you didn't cause any trouble while I was in seclusion, did you?" Lin Aoxue asked seriously.

When Lin Aoxue asked this question, Ye Qingxue immediately felt embarrassed.

"Huh? Why are you asking this as soon as you come out of the pass? Haha..." Ye Qingxue laughed awkwardly.

When Lin Aoxue saw her daughter's smile, she couldn't help but squint her eyes.

"Did we really cause trouble?" Lin Aoxue's eyes held a dangerous glint.

Ye Qingxue felt a sense of fear when she saw the look in her mother's eyes.

"She didn't cause any major trouble, she just messed around with my pills and caused one of the branch peaks of Fire Cloud Peak to collapse." Just as Ye Qingxue didn't know how to answer, Ye Liuyun directly betrayed her.

When Ye Qingxue heard her mother tell her about the trouble she had caused, she immediately panicked.

"You, how could you just sell me out like that? We agreed that you would help me cover it up. Am I still your lovely daughter?" Ye Qingxue glared angrily at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun crossed his arms and replied with a smile.
