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

"Never mind, I won't say anymore." Ye Liuyun shook his head.

Soon, Wanbaolou had gathered everything Ye Liuyun wanted. Jin Baiyu, the person in charge of Wanbaolou, came to Ye Liuyun with several large storage rings.

"My lord, everything you requested has been prepared." Jin Baiyu respectfully presented the items to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately took it and glanced at it. After reading it, he smiled and put it away.

"Thank you. Please deduct the cost of these materials from my account," Ye Liuyun said.

However, Jin Xia quickly refused.

“This? Miss Ye, this isn’t necessary. These materials aren’t worth much. With your status, there’s no need to pay this much,” Jin Xia said.

But Ye Liuyun shook his head.

"No, rules are rules, and business is business. We still have to collect the money that's due," Ye Liuyun replied.

After Ye Liuyun said that, Jin Xia and the others stopped insisting.

"Then let's do as Miss Ye wishes," Jin Xia said to Jin Baiyu.

After getting her things, Ye Liuyun planned to go back. She had a lot of things to do there, and she could only visit various places in the Flying Immortal Realm after she finished dealing with those matters.

“In that case, I’ll head back now. Senior Jinxia, ​​you already know where I am. I’ll be waiting for your arrival in three days,” Ye Liuyun said, standing up.

Jin Xia immediately bowed respectfully and said so.

"Miss Ye, please rest assured, I guarantee I will arrive on time and take you there."

Ye Liuyun smiled slightly and then said something to the spirit of the Time-Space Mirror.

"Old man, let's go back."

As soon as he said this, a stable spatial passage appeared in front of Ye Liuyun.

The appearance of this passage startled Jin Xia again, while Ye Liuyun had already entered the spatial passage and left.

"What? Miss Ye has such a powerful being secretly protecting her? How could I have been completely unaware?" Jin Xia muttered to herself.

Such a big thing happened at Wanbaolou, and the crowd of onlookers outside completely surrounded the building.

Even the royal family disciples of the Divine Flame Dynasty came to the outside of Wanbaolou.

"Why did the commotion inside suddenly stop? Wanbaolou even activated its formation, blocking our divine senses. I really want to see who is so bold as to cause trouble in Wanbaolou. You know, even I wouldn't dare to act recklessly in this place," the young man said.

Within the territory of the Divine Flame Dynasty, only the current Crown Prince or the imperial concubines dare to refer to themselves as "this palace."

This person is none other than Yuwen Yang, the current crown prince of the Shenyan Dynasty.

"Brother, I heard that the one causing trouble is a great beauty. Tell me how she is doing now?" Several princes and princesses were standing next to Yuwen Yang; they had all come to watch the show.

The Divine Flame Dynasty is not a secular dynasty after all, and it doesn't have as many secular rules.

"Who knows? We should have results soon," Yuwen Yang said.

Sure enough, not long after, Jin Baiyu led his men out of the main entrance of Wanbaolou.

"Esteemed guests, I apologize. A little incident happened at Wanbaolou a while ago, but it was a misunderstanding and has been resolved. Everything is fine now. Please come in," Jin Baiyu said with a smile.

Jin Baiyu's nonchalant attitude puzzled the cultivators outside, as it made them feel as if Wanbaolou had conceded, and they were reluctant to explain further.

"Huh? It's resolved just like that, a misunderstanding? I have a feeling that Wanbaolou has kicked a hornet's nest." One of the princesses next to Yuwen Yang couldn't help but say.

"Alright, alright, since there's no show to watch, let's go to Wanbaolou for a look." Yuwen Yang understood that they wouldn't be able to learn anything from here; they needed to go inside and find someone to find out more.

However, just now, Jin Baiyu had given a strict order to the people of Wanbaolou, forbidding them from speaking out about what they had just seen. At the same time, Jin Xia personally went to the VIP floor and asked each of the VIPs not to talk about what had just happened. And this was not a negotiation, but a threat.

Jin Xia directly told these powerful figures that if they spread the word, Wanbaolou would permanently cease cooperation with their respective factions and prohibit their disciples from entering Wanbaolou.

This is no joke. As the largest holy land-level merchant guild in the Eastern Continent, it would be a heavy blow if they were to sever their trade and cooperation with a certain force.

Therefore, these people could only repeatedly assure themselves that they would not tell anyone else.

As Ye Liuyun left, a large number of cultivators entered Wanbaolou again. As soon as they entered Wanbaolou, they tried every means to find out what had just happened inside.

However, even when they asked their elders, the elders remained silent.

Ye Liuyun had already returned to the Sacred Ruins.

"Haha! I'm back. Come on, distribute all these materials and prepare to rebuild this ruin." Ye Liuyun called over Jiang Wanling and the others to distribute the materials.

These materials are not ordinary wood or stone; they are all materials for refining weapons. If they were just ordinary materials, why would Ye Liuyun have sought help from Wanbaolou?

"Wow! So fast? Sect Master, where did you buy it from?" someone asked curiously.

"It's a secret, don't ask any more questions. After the materials are distributed, I need to redraw the distribution map of this ruin. Naturally, it's impossible to build it using the previous method," Ye Liuyun said.

Everyone was definitely doing as Ye Liuyun instructed.

However, as soon as Ye Liuyun finished speaking, the spirit of the Time-Space Mirror immediately spoke up.

“Master, you don’t need to let these little guys build it. After you draw the layout and building plans, I can use the laws of the divine to build it. It will be done in five minutes.”

However, Ye Liuyun refused.

"No, no, no, I have my reasons. Things that are too easily obtained are often hard for them to cherish. I need to let them build their own future living space. This will increase the cohesion of the Flowing Cloud Sect," Ye Liuyun replied.

The spirit of the Time-Space Mirror thought about it and it seemed to make sense. To rebuild such a large area of ​​buildings, even for a cultivator, it might take more than a month.

Chapter 678 A High-Profile Announcement (6000 words)

The day passed just like that. Around nine o'clock in the evening, after such exciting things happened during the day, the people from Yun Duan and Liu Yun Sect were all a bit tired, both physically and mentally.

Although they were just spectators throughout, most of them were afraid. Once the formation was broken, their fate would probably not be good.

Ye Liuyun gathered all the elders of Yunduan at a campfire area. For the first time in this foreign land of sacred ruins, a campfire was lit late at night, which helped them relax after a tense day.

In particular, those elders who voluntarily followed Ye Liuyun to the Flying Immortal Realm felt that their decision to follow Ye Liuyun might be the wisest choice they had ever made in their lives.

To be honest, the sight of so many Nirvana cultivators attacking their formation simultaneously during the day was enough for them to boast about to future generations.

How to boast about it? It's simple. When there are younger generations, just tell them that our Flowing Cloud Sect remained completely unmoved under the attack of dozens of Nirvana cultivators. That's a great way to show off.

At the same time, they also realized that their understanding of Ye Liuyun was still too superficial.

"Everyone, as I have said before, if we, the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Cloud Realm, are to do something, we must do it big, the bigger the better, ideally we can dominate the world and become the number one power in the world."

"However, a force cannot grow strong by one person alone. After all, I am not capable of handling everything by myself. So please do not think that we can rest easy just because I am here," Ye Liuyun said, gazing at the campfire.

Everyone present knew this perfectly well. They had always been hiding under Ye Liuyun's wing, and would never amount to anything. What would they do if Ye Liuyun were gone again, or if something unexpected happened to him? Just like last time, Ye Liuyun had only been missing for a little over ten years when problems began to appear within Yunduan. No one was able to step forward and take charge.

"Then what do you mean, Sect Master?" Jiang Wanling asked.

Ye Liuyun smiled slightly.

"My point is very simple: the Flowing Cloud Sect can be the last refuge for you and your disciples, but it cannot be an indefinite, towering tree for you to escape danger."

"As you can see from the Flying Immortal Domain, it is rich in spiritual energy and is an ideal area for cultivation. If you cultivate here, you will definitely go further than in the Nine Heavens Domain. Our Flowing Cloud Sect currently does not have a single Nirvana cultivator, which is a huge disadvantage," Ye Liuyun said.

Ye Liuyun's words were quite straightforward: you need to go out and cultivate alone in various parts of the Flying Immortal Realm; you need to hone yourselves in danger and cannot stay in the protective circle forever.

Jiang Wanling and the others fell silent for a moment. Indeed, their cultivation level was completely insufficient in the Flying Immortal Domain, and they were simply unable to hold down a position.

"So, does the Lord mean that all of us should leave this place and go on our own to cultivate?" an elder asked.

Ye Liuyun nodded.

When Ye Liuyun nodded, everyone looked somewhat reluctant, showing a lack of confidence in themselves.

Many of them felt that if they went out, they would probably have a hard time coming back alive; only a few had the confidence or the courage.

The people from Liuyun Sect and Yunduan are all from small places and not from powerful forces. They are all born into the lower classes. Such people lack self-confidence, vision, and many other things.

These things can never be obtained by staying under Ye Liuyun's wing. Although Ye Liuyun had some entertainment in mind when creating his power, he didn't want to be someone's babysitter for nothing.

Ye Liuyun could also tell what they were thinking.

"Don't worry, everyone. You all have families, and I can guarantee their safety in the sect. At the same time, you don't need to worry too much. When you go out to train, as long as you don't provoke others on your own initiative, but others bully you, just tell me when you return to the sect, and I will go and cause them trouble. As for how to protect your lives, I will give each of you three self-defense measures to prevent life-or-death crises," Ye Liuyun said in a deep voice.

Ye Liuyun is fully capable of enabling them to escape from three death threats. Of course, if she wanted, she could make them escape more times, but the problem is that this would not have the effect of training and growth. Three times is the limit.

These people were all taken aback when they heard this.

Jiang Wanling was quick to express her opinion.

"Sect Master, once the sect's construction is complete, I am willing to leave the Flowing Cloud Sect to gain experience in various parts of the Flying Immortal Domain, striving to reach the Nirvana Realm as soon as possible," Jiang Wanling said solemnly.

As soon as Jiang Wanling spoke, the other cultivators at the Transformation Realm also spoke up. They had three chances to protect themselves. If they didn't have the courage to go out and train, they might as well give up cultivation and become ordinary mortals in the secular world.

"Everyone, I treat everyone equally. Not only you, but my daughter, Ye Fei, will also be going out. As for who will guard the sects we've seized, you don't need to worry about that. Now that we've come to the Flying Immortal Domain, it's time for our Cloud Sect to expand. I will personally search for talented people throughout the Flying Immortal Domain and bring them into the Flowing Cloud Sect. However, rest assured, I will not lower your status because of your low cultivation level. You will always be elders of Cloud Sect," Ye Liuyun said solemnly.

Ye Liuyun has already been quite protective of them. If it were any other force, you would be eliminated if you couldn't keep up with the sect's growth. Otherwise, you would be taking all the benefits for yourself.

After a night of discussion, a final decision was reached: cultivators at the Four Extremes Secret Realm or above must leave their sect to go out and train. Before leaving, they must leave their soul lamps within the sect. If they unfortunately die outside, at least their relatives and friends will know the outcome.

As for cultivators below the Four Extremes Secret Realm, they can stay in the Flowing Cloud Sect to cultivate. Ye Liuyun will specially invite high-level cultivators to join the Flowing Cloud Sect to explain to everyone.

Of course, this news is not yet planned to be announced to everyone. After all, it is not the right time yet. Ye Liuyun needs to settle everything completely before they can leave without any worries.

The next day, in a dungeon that had been cleared out from the control array of the ruins, the place that controlled the Taiji Sacred Land array had been completely collapsed. It took the group a long time to dig it out.

Lin Qingyou is currently focused on repairing the array patterns.

After Ye Liuyun arrived, she glanced around but didn't disturb Lin Qingyou. She was waiting for Lin Qingyou to speak first.

As expected, after Lin Qingyou repaired a damaged array pattern, she opened her eyes and asked somewhat speechlessly.

"Speak your mind, or shut up. If you have nothing to say, don't just stand here."

Ye Liuyun gave an awkward smile.

"Hehe, I was just waiting for you to finish your work, Master. But since you've asked, I'll get straight to the point. Master, I have a question I'd like to ask you." Ye Liuyun smiled playfully for a moment, then gradually became serious.

When Lin Qingyou saw that Ye Liuyun's attitude suddenly became serious, she knew that the question Ye Liuyun was about to ask was probably not so simple.

"Go ahead," Lin Qingyou gestured.

Ye Liuyun organized his thoughts briefly before expressing the questions that were causing him concern.

"Master, you should know about the forbidden area on the God Burial Star, right?"

Upon encountering this problem, Lin Qingyou immediately lost all interest in repairing the array patterns. She slowly stopped what she was doing and turned around.

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Lin Qingyou asked, somewhat puzzled.

In her view, matters related to the forbidden area were not something Ye Liuyun needed to know at the moment.

"Yes, I discovered it while looking at the map of the Burial God Star at Wanbaolou. I also heard a senior from Wanbaolou tell me about it. After listening, I don't know why, but I had a strong sense of unease. I had a feeling that these forbidden creatures might awaken in this era," Ye Liuyun replied.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's response, Lin Qingyou didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she shared the information she had gathered with Ye Liuyun.

“Alright, since you know about these places, let me tell you about them. Is this forbidden land a product of the primordial era? It’s said to be the land of fallen gods, the place where gods perished. This place has its own laws, which can isolate it from the Heavenly Dao, and it also has some special effects, such as immortality,” Lin Qingyou said.

"Immortality? You mean that as long as you enter the forbidden area, you can live forever?" Ye Liuyun was taken aback.

But Lin Qingyou shook her head.

"There is no such thing as true immortality; it's just a way of deceiving oneself. The power of this forbidden land can greatly reduce the rate at which those who enter lose their life force. However, once you absorb the power of the forbidden land, you will not be able to leave it easily. The forbidden land is like their prison. If you leave, your life force will be greatly lost. Moreover, even if you stay inside, your life force will eventually be completely lost one day."

"So the guys who go in have to come out and devour the life force of other living beings every so often to replenish their own life force, thus achieving immortality. There are probably monsters inside that are even more ancient than me, like ancient things from the Primordial Era," Lin Qingyou said.

Upon hearing that the creatures in this forbidden area were actually once unparalleled powerhouses, Ye Liuyun immediately understood what was going on.

"This? You mean they were all former demon emperors of the demon race or heavenly emperors of the human race?" Ye Liuyun asked hurriedly.

"Tch! What nonsense about Demon Emperors and Heavenly Emperors! They're just a bunch of incompetent cowards who can only cower in the darkness, like rats that can never see the light. These people always think that as long as they live, they'll have a chance to ascend to immortality. Little do they know, people like them have already become infamous in the immortal world." Lin Qingyou's face was full of sarcasm.

Looking at Lin Qingyou's disgusted expression, Ye Liuyun knew how much she looked down on these former powerhouses.

That makes sense. Lin Qingyou, who attained immortality through medicine, could become an immortal. Those who reached the Heavenly Abyss Realm couldn't possibly be less talented than Lin Qingyou. What they lacked was courage and mental fortitude.

"Then, do they all possess the cultivation level of the Heavenly Abyss Realm?" Ye Liuyun had a question.

But Lin Qingyou shook her head again.

“That’s impossible. Only one person can be born in the Heavenly Abyss Realm every ten thousand years. The moment they choose to enter the forbidden area, it’s as if they’ve abandoned the Heavenly Abyss. Their cultivation will drop from the Heavenly Abyss Realm to the peak of the ninth level of the Divine Path. You should know that the difference between the ninth level of the Divine Path and the Heavenly Abyss Realm isn’t that big. It would be very difficult for a Heavenly Abyss expert to kill these rats,” Lin Qingyou said.

"This? How did you solve this problem in your time?" Ye Liuyun asked again.

"Hehe, don't worry. These people are afraid of dying, so they can hide in the forbidden area like rats. They won't dare to run out without absolute certainty, because once they come out and are targeted by the Tianyuan experts, they're doomed," Lin Qingyou said.

Ye Liuyun thought about it carefully and agreed, but then she proposed another hypothesis.

"Well, let me put it hypothetically: if all the old monsters in these forbidden areas were to emerge at the same time, would the Heavenly Abyss experts be able to suppress them?"

This question stumped Lin Qingyou for a moment, because in their era, only two beings from the forbidden land were born, one of whom died and the other was seriously injured.
