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

Upon hearing Yin Tong's threat, Ruan Bingyan was both shocked and furious. She could sense that if she continued, this seemingly refined young man might actually make a move.

So for a moment she stammered and dared not speak. Yin Tong was very intimidating to her, and if a fight broke out, she would definitely be no match for him.

Seeing Yin Tong's excitement, Xue Qingwu spoke to her.

"Xiao Tong, you can't treat the juniors of the sect like this. You are my disciple, and speaking of which, you are also a disciple of the Tianmu Sect."

Yin Tong saw Xue Qingwu stop him, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Seeing that Yin Tong remained silent, Xue Qingwu looked at Ruan Bingyan again.

“Little girl, you don’t need to say anything. I know what you want to say. Go back and tell the current sect leader of Tianmu Sect and my senior brother that I will definitely repay the debt of gratitude I owe to Tianmu Sect. I will be returning to Tianmu Sect soon; some things do indeed need to be settled,” Xue Qingwu said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tongtian's expression changed. He could tell from Xue Qingwu's tone and expression that she wanted to go back to repay this debt of gratitude. However, repaying this debt of gratitude would certainly not be easy, and the other party might make some harsh demands.

"Sister Xue, why do you have to do this? The Tianmu Sect is already corrupt and decadent. Even if you do this, they will never regain their former glory. On the contrary, you are now the strongest in the Tianmu Sect. You don't need to abide by the sect's outdated rules at all," Wang Tongtian said hurriedly.

However, Xue Qingwu smiled and shook her head at Wang Tongtian.

“There are some favors that must be repaid. Do you want me to be someone who breaks promises?” Xue Qingwu countered.

When Wang Tongtian heard Xue Qingwu say that, he was at a loss for what to do.

Although Ye Liuyun didn't know what Xue Qingwu was going to do, from the moment Xue Qingwu's eyes recovered, Xue Qingwu was a member of her Liuyun Sect. If Xue Qingwu wanted to do anything that would harm the interests of the Liuyun Sect, Ye Liuyun would definitely not allow it.

This is detrimental to the interests of the Liuyun Sect, and it may not necessarily be directly related to the Liuyun Sect, but it may be directly related to Xue Qingwu herself.

"Sister Xue, what do you want to do? Let me make this clear: if it's just a simple trip back, I don't care. But if you're going to do anything to harm yourself, I won't allow it. You're a member of my Liuyun Sect now," Ye Liuyun said sternly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tongtian immediately sent a telepathic message to Ye Liuyun.

“Little sister, well done. Sister Xue is a person who values ​​promises very much. If she returns to Tianmu Sect, Tianmu Sect will definitely require her to fulfill the promise she made back then. I reckon that either she will be allowed to stay in Tianmu Sect, or she will have to pay some other price.”

Ye Liuyun himself realized why Ruan Bingyan seemed so confident; perhaps Xue Qingwu had made some oath or promise while at the Tianmu Sect.

She has cultivated to this level, so her Dao heart is definitely not a problem, and she would never do anything that would damage her reputation.

Xue Qingwu first looked at Wang Tongtian, her eyes clearly saying, "You two are secretly conspiring to stop me, aren't you?"

When Wang Tongtian met Xue Qingwu's gaze, he couldn't help but smile.

"Sister Xue, your current identity is the Celestial Ancestor of the Flowing Cloud Sect. You promised me that once I heal your eyes, you would be a member of the Flowing Cloud Sect," Ye Liuyun reminded her again.

After thinking for a moment, Xue Qingwu smiled slightly at Ye Liuyun.

"Don't worry, I'm just fulfilling my promise. I won't stay in the Tianmu Sect. After this incident, I will have nothing to do with the Tianmu Sect anymore," Xue Qingwu said.

Seeing Xue Qingwu's response, Ye Liuyun realized he had no way to stop her.

Ye Liuyun glared at Ruan Bingyan with displeasure, while Ruan Bingyan returned Ye Liuyun's smug look, her eyes seeming to say, "See? I won."

But Ye Liuyun changed the subject.

"Sister Xue, I have no objection to you returning to the Tianmu Sect to repay the favors you have received, but I cannot let Ruan Bingyan go back. She has already been defeated by me and is now a member of my Liuyun Sect," Ye Liuyun said.

Ruan Bingyan, who was initially quite pleased, froze upon hearing these words.

Indeed, she achieved her goal, but at the same time, she also became deeply entangled in the Flowing Cloud Sect.

Originally, she thought that with Xue Qingwu's status, leaving Liuyun Sect wouldn't be a problem. But now it seems that even Xue Qingwu has to listen to Ye Liuyun. She really can't understand how Ye Liuyun cured Xue Qingwu's eyes.

"Hehe, that's your business. You can let it go if you want, or not if you don't. Alright, I just broke through to the Celestial Realm and need to go into seclusion to meditate. We can talk about it after I come out of seclusion," Xue Qingwu said.

With things having come to this point, everyone could only nod and agree.

"Alright, then I won't bother you any longer, Sister Xue. By the way, Big Brother, aren't you planning to go back and cultivate in seclusion to break through to the Divine Path Realm?" Ye Liuyun asked.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Tongtian said.

"I think I should wait until Sister Xue finishes dealing with the matters of the Tianmu Sect before I go into seclusion."

Just as Wang Tongtian finished speaking, a refined male voice came from outside.

"Junior Sister, congratulations on breaking through to the Celestial Realm. My fellow disciples and I haven't seen each other for many years. Would you please come out and meet me?"

As soon as the sound rang out, Wang Tongtian immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to go out and beat someone up.

"What the hell is this guy doing here? I get annoyed just seeing him. Perfect timing, I've wanted to beat him up for ages. Sister Xue, you don't need to pay him any attention, I'll go and deal with him." Wang Tongtian said, about to go out and beat someone up.

Xue Qingwu looked at Wang Tongtian, who still had a bad temper, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, now that he's here, I'll naturally go see him. Besides, the difference in your cultivation levels is too great. Aren't you just bullying him? Don't worry, I'll handle this matter properly," Xue Qingwu said.

After saying that, she disappeared without a trace. Her senior brother also did not appear; he was probably hiding in the shadows.

"Sigh! I wonder what kind of harsh demands the Tianmu Sect will make," Wang Tongtian said helplessly.

"Big brother, was that the voice of Sister Xue's senior brother just now? What realm is he at now?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

Wang Tongtian thought for a moment, and then gave his answer.

"He should be in the Tribulation Realm, anyway, he's much weaker than me. However, he was a top genius when he was young. Under normal circumstances, he should have broken through to the Celestial Realm long ago, but due to some things, his Dao Heart was damaged, and he has not broken through yet."

When Wang Tongtian said this, his expression was clearly somewhat strange.

It seems that Senior Brother Xue Qingwu's problem with his Dao Heart is mostly related to Wang Tongtian, or rather, to Xue Qingwu.

What does it mean to have a damaged Dao heart? It means that you have encountered some setbacks that you are unable to overcome. A damaged Dao heart can cause inner demons at lower realms, and become a stumbling block at higher realms.

Xue Qingwu didn't know what she talked about with her senior brother, but the two talked for about half an hour before she returned to the Sacred Ruins.

"I'm back," Xue Qingwu greeted the group.

"What did he say to you? He probably wanted you to return to the Tianmu Sect, right?" Wang Tongtian asked quickly.

Xue Qingwu nodded at first, but then immediately shook her head, meaning that she was to return to the Tianmu Sect, but the purpose of her return did not seem to be what Wang Tongtian had thought.

"Sister Liuyun, please release her. The Tianmu Sect only has a dozen or so disciples left." Xue Qingwu said with pleading eyes.

Since Xue Qingwu personally pleaded for her life, Ye Liuyun did not keep Ruan Bingyan any longer. Her purpose in coming here was neither to challenge him nor to actually join the Liuyun Sect. Keeping someone like that here would definitely be a problem.

“I can release him, but Sister Xue, I can’t just let him go for nothing. I’ll give her a mid-grade Heaven-rank magic weapon as her ransom,” Ye Liuyun said, arms crossed.

Ruan Bingyan was furious when she heard this.

"What did you say?" Ruan Bingyan was furious.

Ye Liuyun crossed her arms and snorted coldly. She disliked people like Ruan Bingyan, who had such an arrogant attitude.

"Alright, Bingyan, a bet is a bet. Sect Master Ye, my Tianmu Sect agrees to your conditions. Here is a mid-grade Heaven-rank magic weapon. Please accept it." Just as Ruan Bingyan was about to lose her temper, a refined voice came from the sky above the Sacred Ruins.

At the same time, a treasure in a box appeared out of thin air above the formation.

Upon sensing this, Ye Liuyun quickly activated the formation, allowing the box to fall in, while Xue Qingwu casually grabbed it and took it into her hand.

She opened it and took a look. Upon opening it, she found a silver-white female battle armor that shimmered with light and exuded an ethereal aura. It was a mid-grade Heaven-rank defensive magic weapon.

"Sister Liuyun, this is the ransom you requested." Xue Qingwu handed the box to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun's eyes lit up as soon as she saw it. She had many Heaven-rank weapons, but she had almost no defensive magic items, such as clothing.

"Good stuff, I accept this deal. Alright, you can leave now." Ye Liuyun looked at the treasure in his hand and said to Ruan Bingyan with an impatient expression.

When Ruan Bingyan saw the treasure in Ye Liuyun's hand, she felt both heartache and envy.

However, Xue Qingwu did not let her stay any longer and simply waved her hand to send her away.

After Ruan Bingyan disappeared, she reappeared next to a white-haired young man.

"Ancestor, isn't it too cheap for Ye Liuyun to exchange me for a mid-grade Heaven-rank magic weapon?" Ruan Bingyan hurriedly bowed to the white-haired youth and then complained reluctantly.

He simply smiled faintly, then left with Ruan Bingyan.

After dealing with the matters of the Tianmu Sect, Xue Qingwu and Wang Tongtian temporarily built a palace with their power. They then discussed the Dao in the palace. After all, Wang Tongtian was at the peak of the Celestial Realm, and he had a great understanding of this realm. Xue Qingwu wanted to learn from Wang Tongtian's experience and quickly master the common methods of the Celestial Realm.

Soon after, a clear, ethereal voice echoed from the Sacred Ruins.

"I, Xue Qingwu, hereby join the Liuyun Sect from this moment on. I ask the fellow Daoists around here not to crowd around." This was Xue Qingwu's voice.

As soon as Xue Qingwu's voice rang out, the expressions of the surrounding Nirvana cultivators changed drastically. They dared not stay here any longer. Originally, the Flowing Cloud Sect only had defensive capabilities, but now that Xue Qingwu had broken through to the Celestial Realm and joined the Flowing Cloud Sect, she had the ability to launch an offensive. They could not continue to provoke them here.

"Damn it, what did Ye Liuyun do? Or what kind of charm does she have that made this once-famous beauty, who was on par with Wang Tongtian thousands of years ago, join the Liuyun Sect? Too late. With a Celestial Being in charge, even the Holy Lands have to think twice." The Nirvana cultivators from ordinary sects panicked. They felt that the Sacred Ruins were completely beyond their reach.

As soon as the news of Xue Qingwu breaking through to the Celestial Realm and joining the Liuyun Sect spread, the ordinary sects in the Flying Immortal Domain immediately lost interest in Ye Liuyun. There was nothing they could do; with a Celestial Realm expert in charge, the Liuyun Sect was no longer someone they could afford to offend.

With no one coming to challenge her, Ye Liuyun was definitely quite unhappy. She started to come up with some bad ideas again. She wanted to recruit the geniuses of the Flying Immortal Domain into the Cloud Realm, but she wouldn't give up just because no one was offering themselves up.

Since the other party isn't coming, she has no choice but to take the initiative.

Three days later, Xue Qingwu and Wang Tongtian left Liuyun Sect for Tianmu Sect. Xue Qingwu insisted on going back, and Ye Liuyun had no way to stop her. She originally thought something bad had happened.

Three days later, Xue Qingwu and Wang Tongtian returned, but they brought back quite a few people with them.

These people are all from the Tianmu Sect.

"What? Sister Xue, Big Brother, what's going on?" Ye Liuyun looked at Ruan Bingyan and the others with surprise on their faces.

Ruan Bingyan was quite embarrassed at this moment. The sect spent a mid-grade Heaven-rank magic weapon to bring her back, but she returned after only three days.

"Hehe, Sister Liuyun, after discussing with my senior brother, starting today, Tianmu Sect will be merged into Liuyun Sect. I wonder if you are willing to accept it?" Xue Qingwu asked with a smile.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback when she heard this, and then she couldn't help but look at Wang Tongtian, who also nodded to her.

"No way, what's going on? Why is Tianmu Sect suddenly going to merge into our Liuyun Sect?" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I'll tell you later. Just tell me if you're willing to accept them or not. If you're not willing to accept them, then they'll be my exclusive seats," Xue Qingwu said.

How could Ye Liuyun refuse? Lin Qingyou had just glanced at these people; they were all users of the Heavenly Eye, truly talented individuals.

"Of course I'll accept it, how could I not?" Ye Liuyun said quickly.

As Ye Liuyun accepted these people as well, one of the men in the Four Extremes Reincarnation Realm immediately stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Ye Liuyun.

"Former Tianmu Sect Master Lin Hao pays respects to Sect Master Ye. From now on, we are members of the Liuyun Sect," the young man said solemnly.

When this person bowed to Ruan Bingyan and the others, they quickly returned the bow with clasped hands.

This was the result of Xue Qingwu's discussion with her senior brother.

The Tianmu Sect is truly in decline. Xue Qingwu's generation had over a hundred disciples, but this generation has only so few left. No matter what, nothing can stop the Tianmu Sect's decline.

Most importantly, Senior Brother Xue Qingwu's lifespan is about to run out. Given Senior Brother Xue Qingwu's cultivation level and age, it was impossible for him to reach the end so soon.

However, Senior Brother Xue Qingwu possesses a pair of Life and Death Eyes. Each use of these eyes reduces one's lifespan. Therefore, there is no other way to save someone whose lifespan is insufficient except by consuming longevity-extending treasures. Thus, even Ye Liuyun could not save him.

Most importantly, this person no longer has any reason to live.

Not long ago, he personally handed Xue Qingwu over to Wang Tongtian, which meant that he acknowledged the relationship between Wang Tongtian and Xue Qingwu and would no longer dwell on what happened back then.

In this way, Ye Liuyun's Liuyun Sect suddenly recruited more than a dozen exceptionally talented disciples, as well as several Nirvana Realm experts.

Ye Liuyun certainly wouldn't treat them unfairly, so he directly appointed them as the Supreme Elders of the Liuyun Sect. They didn't need to do anything on a regular basis. As for the disciples, they were treated equally. Ye Liuyun wouldn't treat them differently from other disciples just because they were exceptionally talented.

Half a month later, the Liuyun Sect was almost one-third complete. It would take at least three months to complete the entire project because of its massive scale.

Ye Liuyun also felt that he could go out now.

"Everyone, I have to go out for a bit. I'll leave the Liuyun Sect in your care," Ye Liuyun said to Qin Hong and the others.

Chen Yang and the others were puzzled; they couldn't figure out what Ye Liuyun was up to.

"Hey, Fairy Ye, what about the conditions you promised me? You haven't forgotten them, have you?" Bai Chengfeng suddenly asked.

Ye Liuyun chuckled.

"Don't worry, once our new home is built, I promise you all that I will fulfill. Right now, I have too many things to do, and I need to find some more manpower. I originally wanted to provoke the Flying Immortal Domain and make them send their best disciples to me willingly, but who knew they would be scared now? So I have no choice but to take the initiative." Ye Liuyun said seriously.

Ye Liuyun's words left everyone bewildered.

"What does this mean?" Chen Yang was confused.

However, Ye Liuyun didn't explain much. He directly had the Time-Space Mirror lock onto the sect closest to the Sacred Ruins, regardless of whether it was a large or small sect. After locking on, Ye Liuyun immediately entered the space and left.

After they left, Ye Fei explained to them with a smile.

"Everyone, my mother said that she is going out to find someone with a destiny to join our Liuyun Sect."

Ye Fei was very clear about her mother's thoughts, so she understood everything as soon as Ye Liuyun spoke.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang and the others were taken aback. Then, combining this with what Ye Liuyun had said earlier, they roughly understood what Ye Liuyun was planning to do.

"This? She, she's planning to snatch someone from another sect?" Qin Hong asked in astonishment.

Chen Yang's face twitched as well. He had never seen such a bizarre woman as Ye Liuyun in all his years of life. Her personality was too strange. The key was that she had many tricks up her sleeve, was rich, and very bold. Such a bizarre person would be hard to find even once in ten thousand years. She seemed to have no fear.

"I don't understand. Does the sect leader think he's invincible? He seems so fearless." Chen Yang was speechless.

About three minutes later, Ye Liuyun appeared out of thin air at the entrance of the sect closest to the Sacred Ruins.
