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

"What an adorable little girl! I never imagined I'd have a younger sister. Lin Qingyou, that's strange, why isn't it Ye, but Lin?" Ye Qingxue asked curiously.

"Cough cough!" Ye Liuyun coughed a few times.

This cough woke Ye Qingxue up. She realized that her maternal grandmother's family had no descendants, and that her younger sister's surname was Lin, probably to carry on the Lin family line.

"Oh, I see, I get it." Ye Qingxue chuckled.

However, Lin Qingyou was quite displeased at this moment. She was Ye Qingxue's grandmaster, and now her seniority had suddenly become her younger sister. This contrast was definitely unacceptable to Lin Qingyou.

"Qingyou, call me 'sister' and let me hear it," Ye Qingxue said with a grin.

But Lin Qingyou definitely wouldn't call out; she pouted and gave a smug look.

"This? Mom, can't Qingyou speak? Is she mute?" Ye Qingxue poked Lin Qingyou's cheek and asked doubtfully.

"You're the one who's mute," Lin Qingyou couldn't help but retort.

Ye Qingxue was taken aback when Lin Qingyou suddenly spoke.

"Oh, you're not mute? Then why aren't you saying anything? Is it because it's the first time you've seen me and you feel awkward?" Ye Qingxue asked again.

Lin Qingyou rolled her eyes again and remained silent.

"Ahem, Qingxue, alright, stop teasing your sister. That's just her personality; she doesn't like to talk. Besides, this is your first time meeting her. Give her some time to get used to it," Ye Liuyun said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxue thought it made sense, so she stopped dwelling on the matter. However, she didn't let go of Lin Qingyou and continued to hold her in her arms, teasing her.

"You wretched brat, one day I'll spank you!" Lin Qingyou vowed in her heart, her face full of resentment.

The group then entered the main hall of Tianren Peak, eager to find out what had happened and why the two of them had suddenly disappeared from the tunnel.

"Liuyun, what happened between you and Aoxue back then? There are only our two families here now, so you should be able to tell us, right?" Li Muyun asked.

She felt that this matter was definitely not that simple.

"This? Grandma, to be honest, we were attacked by a Celestial God-level expert from the Shi family of the Thousand Autumn Domain," Ye Liuyun replied after a moment's thought.

The moment those words were spoken, everyone's expression changed.

"What? The Shi family's Heavenly God? Why is that? It is indeed a bit strange. At the Yaochi Immortal Gathering, you seemed to be deliberately targeting the Shi family's cultivators. I thought about this at the time. Did they do something to you in secret?" Li Muyun asked.

Ye Liuyun immediately looked at Lin Aoxue, as if asking her if she could speak.

Lin Aoxue didn't know whether to speak or not, so she left the choice to Ye Liuyun. After thinking for a while, Ye Liuyun explained the matter in his own way.

"Grandma, there are some things I can't say even to you. I have my reasons. However, the Shi family is indeed very interested in something about me. That night, their Heavenly God-level expert suddenly used some means to capture me from Nine Heavens Island and bring me to their Shi family. If I hadn't had some powerful trump cards, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back." Ye Liuyun replied with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, they immediately recalled that a major event had occurred at the Shi family in the Thousand Autumn Domain that night. A demon god from the demon race had descended upon the Shi family and almost engaged in a battle at the level of an Emperor-level weapon. In the end, the Shi family compromised and stopped.

Unexpectedly, it was because of Ye Liuyun.

"This? This family is going too far. When I become stronger, the first thing I'll do is wipe out the Shi family." Ye Qingxue, sitting between Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue, said angrily.

They didn't care at all what the Shi family wanted from Ye Liuyun; they only cared about the Shi family's behavior, which was utterly despicable. For a sacred place to do such petty theft and secretly harm others was something no sacred place should be able to see through.

“I heard from the Supreme God that the Shi family’s god was already on the verge of death, and he would surely die after emerging from seclusion this time. He passed away after destroying the spatial tunnel,” Lin Tianya said.

As soon as Lin Tianya said this, all eyes of the Lin and Ye families fell on him.

"Ancestor, you knew what was going on all along? Why didn't you say so sooner?" Ye Qingxue asked, pouting.

Lin Tianya rolled his eyes.

"What good would it do to tell you? Even if the Shi family no longer has a Celestial God level expert, they still have many Nirvana Realm experts and Imperial Weapons. What can you do? You can't retaliate in a short time. Even if Mu Yun is the Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, the Nine Heavens Holy Land will not allow Mu Yun to lead the Nine Heavens Holy Land to attack the Shi family," Lin Tianya said.

Upon hearing this, Li Muyun agreed with Lin Tianya. Indeed, despite being the Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, she currently held no real power, and major decisions required the approval of the twelve Thunder Tribulation Ancestors or Celestial Ancestors.

Their Nine Heavens Holy Land has only just returned to the Divine Continent, and its foundation is unstable. If they were to fight another Holy Land at this time, even if they won, it would only be a Pyrrhic victory.

The Lin and Ye families understood this principle. They could comprehend Lin Tianya's good intentions. He didn't tell them the truth so that they would have something to look forward to. If he had told them the truth, they would probably have collapsed, especially Ye Qingxue.

“Well, that makes sense. So, Mother, Mom, are you planning to take revenge on the Shi family?” Ye Qingxue asked.

Ye Liuyun is a vengeful person. She had just opened her mouth to say that she would definitely take revenge, but at that moment the spirit of the Time Mirror spoke.

"Master, please forgive the Shi family this time for my sake. I, Shi Jing, will do my utmost to help you in the future. Or, you can punish the Shi family if you wish, but I hope you can preserve their lineage," the spirit of the Time-Space Mirror pleaded.

The Time-Space Mirror has been completely subdued by Lin Qingyou. Even if Ye Liuyun doesn't give him face, it won't have any effect. However, Ye Liuyun is not the kind of person who would kill. Moreover, she knows that this matter was purely caused by the Holy Master of the Shi Family and the Celestial Being of the Shi Family.

Furthermore, since the Heavenly God of the Shi family who attacked them is already dead, what's the point of destroying the Shi family again? It wouldn't have any practical effect, but it certainly can't be said that there will be no retaliation at all.

“Alright, considering that you helped my master revive and helped us find our way back, I can spare the Shi family. However, the Shi family must also be punished. You understand what I mean?” Ye Liuyun said.

The Time-Space Mirror was, after all, a treasure used by Emperor Qianqiu when he was at the Divine Path level, and he still had feelings for the Shi family, so he had to plead for mercy.

"On behalf of my master, I thank you. The descendants of the Shi family have been unfilial and nearly destroyed the Shi family. I will make sure that the Shi family gives you full compensation. Master, could you please allow me to return to the Shi family?" the Time-Space Mirror pleaded.

Ye Liuyun nodded without hesitation.

After receiving Ye Liuyun's nod, the Time-Space Mirror immediately disappeared without a trace, returning to the Shi family as quickly as possible.

Upon his return, he appeared in the main hall of the Shi family.

"I am the spirit of the Time-Space Mirror. All those in power in the Shi family, come to the main hall to see me immediately." As soon as the Time-Space Mirror returned, it immediately issued an order to the Shi family.

At this time, the Mirror of Time and Space is second only to the Mirror of Years, and even higher than the God of Time, but it spends most of its time in slumber.

"Huh? Ancestor Shi Jing has appeared? Weren't they missing?" The Shi family members were dumbfounded, but they still obediently came to the main hall.

Upon arriving at the main hall, they saw the spirit of the Time-Space Mirror floating majestically above the hall.

Upon their arrival, the Shi family leaders immediately knelt before Shi Jing.

"Ancestor Shi Jing, Ancestor Shi Dao has fallen. What will become of our Shi family? The gods are gone, the celestial beings are gone, and the Holy Lord is gone. What will we do? Does our Shi family still have a future?" The Shi family's Great Elder and the new Holy Lord cried to Shi Jing.

Shi Jing immediately snorted coldly.

"You still have the nerve to complain? How could our master have descendants like you who have disgraced our ancestors? You almost ruined the future of the Shi family, do you know that?" Shi Jing rebuked angrily.

The Shi family's higher-ups still thought that Shi Jing was referring to their awakening of the Time Dao God, which led to the Time Dao God's demise.

"We, the younger generation of Ancestor Shi Jing, had no choice. Ancestor Tianren and the Holy Lord were suddenly assassinated, leaving our vast Holy Land of the Shi family leaderless," the First Elder of the Shi family tried to explain.

But it was immediately interrupted by the Time Mirror.

"I'm not referring to that matter, but rather to Shi Heng and his companion rashly offending a woman with a powerful background because of some unfounded legends. That's what I'm talking about," Shi Jing said.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, the Shi family's higher-ups were completely bewildered. To be honest, they still didn't understand what the Holy Lord and their Celestial Ancestor were plotting.

Or rather, why would someone risk offending an ancient royal family for the sake of a woman?

"This? As for the matter of our ancestor, we don't know the specifics. Neither the Holy Lord nor the Celestial Ancestor has ever mentioned a single word to us," the First Elder of the Shi family replied.

"Hmph, it's fortunate that those two didn't tell you, otherwise you wouldn't be alive either. The main reason I came back this time is to remind you that our Shi family cannot afford to offend this woman. You'd better stop investigating and focus on your cultivation, striving to produce another Celestial Being." Shi Jing said with a serious expression.

Shi Jing's serious expression made everyone very worried.

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Next, I'll go see Senior Mirror of Time and discuss some matters with him. After that, I'll go to a treasure vault to select some treasures to compensate this young lady."

"She forgave the Shi family," Shi Jing said.

After Shi Jing finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash of white light, leaving behind a group of bewildered Shi family members.

After a moment of silence, the newly appointed Holy Master of the Shi family finally spoke and asked the Grand Elder.

"Elder, what do we do next?"

The eldest elder of the Shi family rolled his eyes.

"What can we do? Even Ancestor Shi Jing has said so, so our Shi family can only accept our fate and focus on cultivation. Sigh!" The First Elder of the Shi family sighed helplessly.

As for Shi Jing, he was already with Suiyue Jing. He chatted with Suiyue Jing for a few words, and Suiyue Jing didn't seem to object to Shi Jing's actions, agreeing to pay money to avoid trouble.

In fact, Suiyuejing himself understood that the Shi family had no choice; even if he recklessly revived, he could not win that cauldron.

In this way, Shi Jing took away two-thirds of the treasures in the Shi family's treasury, left the Shi family, and returned to Ye Liuyun's side.

As soon as the Shi family elders left the Time Mirror, they immediately went to check the treasure vault. When they saw that the originally full treasure vault had suddenly become empty, they couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.

"Even if compensation is required, there's no need to offer so much as an apology. What are we Shi family going to do in the future?" The Shi family's eldest elder was extremely troubled.

The Shi family's higher-ups were also on the verge of tears, as their Shi family was about to be relegated to a lowly, insignificant place.

Looking at Ye Liuyun's side, Shi Jing brought back so many treasures, which made her very happy.

"Haha, old man, you did a good job. Don't worry, I will keep my promise to you. As long as the Shi family doesn't cause me any more trouble or oppose me, I can let bygones be bygones." Ye Liuyun's eyes gleamed as she looked at the mountain of treasures piled up in her storage magic treasure. A money-grubber is a money-grubber. Although she didn't need many of these things, it didn't stop Ye Liuyun from liking treasures.

With these treasures, Ye Liuyun suddenly had a new idea: the small place in the Eastern Wilderness could no longer satisfy his desires.

After Ye Liuyun met with Lin Aoxue and her relatives, he then informed Li Bai and Tianyi Patriarch, among others.

They were still unaware that Ye Liuyun and the others had returned alive.

When they received Lin Tianya's notification, they were quite startled and rushed to Tianren Peak to see the two of them.

Tianyi Laozu and Li Bai were equally excited.

"Ah! This is wonderful! I can finally be free!" Li Bai exclaimed.

With Lin Aoxue's return, he can step down and give way to a more capable person, as Lin Aoxue is fully capable of taking that position.

The next day, the Supreme Response Sect informed everyone in the sect that Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun had returned.

This caused a stir throughout the entire sect, and the Nine Heavens Holy Land also learned of the news afterward, and they were equally delighted.

However, since they already had Ye Qingxue, they wouldn't require the two of them to join the Holy Land. Nevertheless, they immediately sent two gifts to Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue to compensate them for their inability to enter the Nine Heavens Secret Realm.

However, compared to the treasures Ye Liuyun obtained, these gifts were completely insignificant.

Li Muyun returned the next day, while Ye Qingxue planned to stay at the Supreme Response Sect for a longer period of time.

After dealing with matters concerning the Supreme Response Sect, Ye Liuyun used the Time-Space Mirror to return to the Liuyun Sect.

As for the people of the Liuyun Sect, especially the elders, since Ye Liuyun disappeared, their different factions have been vying for power.

Jiang Wanling could only ensure that Yun Duan wouldn't dissipate, but she couldn't completely make these forces coexist peacefully.

At this moment, these elders were arguing again over the uneven distribution of territory during the expansion.

After Ye Liuyun disappeared, Yunduan and Liuyun Sect entered a high-profile development phase.

They no longer develop peacefully in the Cui Ri Palace area as they used to, because the territory of these elders is mainly within the Tian Heng Sect.

About three years ago, at the Cloud Peak Conference, they passed a resolution to expand their territory and begin annexing the lands of the three surrounding sects.

Under pressure from the Liuyun Sect, the three sects of the Chunyang Sect had no choice but to obediently give up their territory.

The territory of the Flowing Cloud Sect is now more than double what it used to be. The newly expanded territory has been distributed to the forces of these elders, but this has also led to unequal distribution and other disputes.

"Liu Zhan, what right does your Liu family have to occupy so much territory? It was agreed that we would divide it equally among all the forces, but your Liu family has occupied so much, almost two-thirds of my Zhang family's territory. You must hand over a portion of this territory!" A family head slammed his fist on the table and pointed at another family head opposite him, demanding an explanation.

Upon hearing this, the head of the Liu family immediately stood up and replied arrogantly.

"This territory was first occupied by my Liu family. Why should it be given to you? If you want any territory, why don't you go and take it yourselves?"

"You, the Lord said back then that she would treat all elders equally, even those with powerful backgrounds. You are challenging the rules that the Lord set back then." The Zhang family head was even more furious.

Indeed, back then, Ye Liuyun did his best to maintain a level playing field for the peaceful development of Yunduan.

But now that Ye Liuyun is gone, they have lost their backbone and their strongest support. The Liuyun Sect is not something they can command. Gradually, many people have begun to use the power of the Liuyun Sect for their own personal gain.

"You're talking nonsense! You're just jealous of the territory my Liu family occupies. My Liu family is stronger than your Zhang family. What's wrong with taking a little more territory? Have I harmed the organization's interests? Have I lost the sect's interests?" Liu family leader retorted righteously.

Jiang Wanling, who was seated among them, and the other elders of Yunduan were all extremely troubled.

When someone makes a accusation, it inevitably brings up all sorts of other conflicts, and soon another elder will stand up and accuse another elder.

The conference room instantly turned into a marketplace, with spittle flying everywhere and no one giving an inch. They wouldn't have acted like this when Ye Liuyun was still around.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun was observing their meeting outside the Liuyun Sect using the Time-Space Mirror, but judging from her expression, she was clearly speechless.

"Sigh! These people really have no vision at all. They'll never amount to anything. Forget it. I was originally planning to take them to the Flying Immortal Domain to develop, but seeing this situation, I'd better not. It's embarrassing," Ye Liuyun complained.

After speaking, Ye Liuyun immediately issued a command to Bai Bing, who was somewhere in the Liuyun Sect.

"Huh? This power, haha, I knew this woman wouldn't die so easily." Bai Bing opened her eyes from her slumber, then vanished from her residence and appeared where Ye Liuyun was.

"Master, you are indeed safe and sound. Congratulations on your return." Bai Bing bowed and congratulated Ye Liuyun as soon as she arrived.

Ye Liuyun smiled slightly.

"Thank you for taking care of the sect all these years. Once I've finished dealing with the matters that need to be addressed, I'll wish you success in breaking through to the Nirvana Realm," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Bai Bing was incredibly excited when she heard this.

As for Ye Liuyun, he immediately returned to the Liuyun Sect and appeared in the sect's main hall.

"I, Ye Liuyun, have returned!" Ye Liuyun announced to the entire sect with his power.
