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

The entrance to the inner sect is protected by a barrier, and only inner sect disciples can enter. Therefore, if Ye Liuyun had not become an inner sect disciple, even an inner sect disciple could not bring her in; an elder's token would be required.

The inner sect was somewhat like a city within a city. Upon arriving here, the two guard disciples first bowed to Nalan Yan and then spoke according to the rules.

"Senior Sister Nalan, outer disciples are not allowed to enter the inner sect without permission."

Nalan Yan chuckled and then took out Yunxiao's token.

“My master, Elder Yunxiao, has granted this Junior Sister Ye special permission to become a core disciple of the inner sect,” Nalan Yan explained.

The two guards were taken aback when they heard this. They looked at Ye Liuyun carefully. Ye Liuyun was indeed quite good-looking, but his cultivation level was too low. He was only at the early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm. How could he become a core disciple of the inner sect? This was a meteoric rise.

"Oh? I see. Well then, congratulations to this senior sister." The two were stunned for a moment, then quickly made way for her.

Although they were surprised, this was not a matter for them to concern themselves with.

Seeing the two step aside, Nalan Yan immediately used her token to open the barrier around the portal and led Ye Liuyun into the inner gate.

This wasn't Ye Liuyun's first time in the inner sect. Last time, late at night, Lin Qingyou took her in to cause trouble for Qi Chaoying, but that time it was at night and they were looking for trouble, so she didn't really observe the layout of the inner sect.

However, once you enter through the main gate, you'll find that the inner gate is much grander and more beautiful than the outer gate. But the inner gate isn't particularly lively, and there aren't many disciples walking around. This is mainly because the inner gate is where the inner disciples live, and there are far fewer inner disciples than outer disciples.

The inner disciples spend most of their time cultivating, so this place is relatively quiet. However, it is surrounded by clouds and mist, with towering peaks, giving it a more ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere than the outer sect.

"There are so few people." After Ye Liuyun entered, he only saw a few scattered disciples flying in the sky.

“That’s normal. There aren’t many people around normally, and with the recent increase in gender-swapped individuals, they’re even less inclined to go out. I understand,” Nalan Yan said.

"Okay, what exactly is the difference between the inner and outer sects? Is there a difference in treatment?" Ye Liuyun was quite curious about this.

Lin Aoxue was a personal disciple from the moment she entered the sect, and was even personally taught by Yun Yun, so Lin Aoxue had never learned about the rules of the inner sect.

However, the inner and outer sects are not on the same mountain peak. After passing through the barrier, they are greeted by a sea of ​​clouds filled with mist. They can either fly there or walk across the iron chain bridge in front of them, which looks a little mysterious.

“The difference between the inner and outer sects is that for disciples of the same cultivation level, the inner sect receives much better treatment. Moreover, disciples above the core level have their own separate mountain peaks as their training grounds. The inner sect also has its own cultivation technique library and can freely enter and exit. In any case, it is definitely much better than the outer sect. I will explain it to you slowly. Let’s go,” Nalan Yan explained.

Nalan Yan didn't fly over with Ye Liuyun, but instead strolled across the iron chain bridge, chatting as they walked. Although it was called the outer sect, it was actually a public area for inner sect disciples.

In addition to their daily life and cultivation, the inner disciples also spend their time at the outer sect hall.

However, disciples like Nalan Yan spend most of their time in the main hall, only returning to the inner sect when they need to go into seclusion for cultivation.

A moment later, the two arrived at the main peak of the inner sect, which was the same peak where Yun Yun was located. The affairs of the inner sect disciples were handled in this area.

After arriving here, the number of disciples increased slightly, but there were still only some patrolling and guarding disciples, and it was still very deserted.

The main peak of the Yunxia Sect is Yunmiao Peak, which is the highest point of the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, several hundred meters higher than the outer sect.

Led by Nalan Yan, the two quickly arrived at the Inner Disciple Management Office, a place that was usually deserted and quite peaceful.

"Uncle Zuo, a mission has arrived," Nalan Yan called out as soon as she entered.

Immediately upon hearing this shout, a female cultivator at the first level of the Dao Palace emerged.

"Oh? It's Sister Nalan. What brings you here all of a sudden? Have you come to see me?" The female cultivator, who looked to be around thirty years old, asked with a smile.

“I don’t have time for that. I really have a mission. This is Ye Liuyu, a core disciple that my master accepted as a special case. I brought her here to complete the inner sect procedures,” Nalan Yan explained, pointing to Ye Liuyun.

Chapter 133 Extravagant Design

The woman surnamed Zuo was taken aback, then looked Ye Liuyun up and down, but upon looking at him, she found it very strange.

"Early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm? This? Sister Nalan, not to be nosy, but this little girl is only at the early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm. Are you sure your master wants to take her as his personal disciple?" The woman surnamed Zuo asked, quite confused.

It's normal for her to have questions, after all, such things are rare in the Yunxia Sect, or rather, they have never happened before. There is no precedent for an outer disciple of the Spirit Stream Realm to be directly promoted to an inner core disciple.

However, she was not saying that Yunxiao had violated the rules. According to the sect rules, the presiding elder could make an exception to allow disciples to be promoted to the inner sect, even personal disciples, but there was a limit to the number of such disciples.

“Uncle Zuo, our Alchemy Pavilion doesn’t judge aptitude by cultivation level, you should understand that,” Nalan Yan explained.

The woman surnamed Zuo was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood.

"Oh, I understand. Alright then, little girl, come with me." The woman surnamed Zuo smiled slightly and gestured for Ye Liuyun to follow her inside.

The procedures for entering the inner sect are more complicated than those for the outer sect, with more steps. It took about ten minutes to complete the entry procedures, and Ye Liuyun's appearance was upgraded once again.

The disciples' attire of the Yunxia Sect, in the eyes of ordinary people, was becoming increasingly extravagant, or to put it bluntly, increasingly cumbersome. For Ye Liuyun, each upgrade in status was no less than a new experience.

Of course, the same applies to the secular world. The higher one's status, the more accessories one wears and the more luxurious one's clothes are. This is a change from casual to formal.

Even in modern times on Earth, the same applies; elaborate clothing is generally not seen on men, but only on women.

The appearance of a direct disciple is different from that of a core disciple, with the addition of a ceremonial robe. Moreover, the patterns on their robes also vary depending on the different sects they belong to.

The clothes were still made of white fabric with light blue patterns. The patterns were no longer cloud patterns, but leaf and petal patterns, so it was easy to tell that Ye Liuyun was a core disciple of the Alchemy Pavilion.

Besides the headdress being different from that of outer disciples, they also need to wear earrings, and their hairstyles have become more complex and different from before. (Styling reference cover)

To put it simply, Ye Liuyun's current look lacks a girlish charm and exudes a mature feel. It's hard to put into words, but if the outer disciples' clothing styles are those of worldly young girls, then the core female disciples' clothing styles, on the contrary, highlight their feminine charm, without being as concealing as before.

Ye Liuyun discovered this problem in the secular world: the clothing style of this Tang Dynasty is more similar to the clothing style of a certain dynasty on Earth.

The style of clothing for young girls is relatively conservative, but the style of clothing gradually changes after the age of sixteen and into marriage.

Ye Liuyun found Lin Aoxue's outfit pleasing to the eye, but dressing like that himself was a completely different experience.

The sudden change from being tightly wrapped up to feeling cool and refreshed made it difficult for her to adjust immediately.

Ye Liuyun's outfit is off-the-shoulder and low-cut, though not low enough to reveal her breasts. Anyway, for Ye Liuyun, it's a bit revealing and flamboyant, with too many accessories, making it much more complicated than the outer sect disciples' attire.

"Alright, the entry procedures are complete. With Sister Nalan leading you, you should soon understand the inner sect situation." The Left Steward couldn't help but laugh as he watched Ye Liuyun constantly covering his chest with his hand.

She felt that the girl in front of her seemed a little too shy. Of course, they were also a little shy when they first came into contact with this kind of more revealing clothing.

Nalan Yan looked at Ye Liuyun as he walked out with a flushed face and was somewhat puzzled.

"Junior Sister Ye, what's wrong?" Nalan asked in confusion.

Ye Liuyun was about to speak when the Left Deacon spoke for her before she could.

"What else could it be? This little girl is showing too much skin, just like you guys back then. You're not used to the polarized style of Tang Dynasty clothing," the Left Steward laughed.

When Nalan Yan saw Ye Liuyun clutching his chest, she immediately understood.

Although girls on Earth wear even less, it's a different matter. The feeling of others wearing less is different from the feeling of wearing less yourself.

"Oh, hehehe, is that so? Junior Sister Ye, don't worry too much about it, you'll get used to it." Nalan Yan chuckled.

"Oh! No, it's just that my breasts are a bit big, and this bra is making me a little uncomfortable," Ye Liuyun said, putting down her hand and looking uncomfortable.

Nalan Yan looked Ye Liuyun up and down. Indeed, Ye Liuyun's outfit gave off a more voluptuous maternal vibe.

"Alright, it'll get better in a while. We've all been through this. When you were at home, your mother probably dressed similarly, right?" Nalan Yan asked with a smile.

"How can that be the same?" Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes.

Nalan Yan chuckled and stopped teasing Ye Liuyun. She led Ye Liuyun to the accommodations arranged for him by the inner sect, as he would be moving there later.

By the way, since Ye Liuyun's cultivation level is not high enough to fly, the inner sect arranged a cloud crane for her. The cloud crane is a kind of spirit beast raised by the Yunxia Sect. If you can't fly, you can use the cloud crane to get around.

That's something to be happy about.

However, just as they were about to head to the mountain where Ye Liuyun lived, they unfortunately ran into Qi Chaoying, who happened to be walking by. This guy was always followed by at least four people, no matter where he went.

It's the kind of pomp and circumstance a sect leader's personal disciple would have, but it doesn't seem to be necessary, since Lin Aoxue didn't have that kind of pomp and circumstance.

"Eh? Isn't this Junior Sister Lin's older sister? I remember her name is Ye Liuyun. Junior Sister Nalan, isn't this Junior Sister Ye a mid-level outer disciple? How did she suddenly become a core inner disciple? That's quite a leap." Qi Chaoying smiled slightly as she looked at Ye Liuyun.

After Qi Chaoying transformed into a woman, her eyes exuded an eerie aura, causing Ye Liuyun to shudder inexplicably.

"Damn, this guy, even after turning into a woman, still has that look in his eyes that gives me goosebumps," Ye Liuyun cursed inwardly.

“Oh, Senior Sister Qi, my master has granted Junior Sister Ye special permission to be promoted to a core disciple,” Nalan Yan replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, Qi Chaoying immediately showed displeasure towards Ye Liuyun. After all, not long ago, she had sent someone to win over Ye Liuyun, but she didn't expect that so little time had passed and Ye Liuyun had already become Yunxiao's man.

"Interesting, interesting, hehehe, then I wish Junior Sister Ye a more colorful life in the inner sect." Qi Chaoying gave Ye Liuyun a deep look, then let out a wicked laugh like a demoness, and led her people away.

In her eyes, Ye Liuyun was just a nobody, so she didn't take him seriously. However, judging from her expression, Ye Liuyun was bound to be in trouble.

However, as long as Ye Liuyun rejects Qi Chaoying, she will face trouble no matter where she is. However, she won't be too blatant within the inner sect.

"This guy? After turning into a woman, he doesn't even bother to pretend anymore," Nalan Yan said, frowning.

Indeed, when she was male, Qi Chaoying would pay attention to her image and speech, but now, Qi Chaoying gave people the feeling of being a woman who was not to be trifled with. She had the coldness of a venomous snake and the cunning of a fox spirit. Combined, she did not seem like a proper female cultivator. She was full of demonic energy.

"No wonder everyone says her personality changed drastically after she became a woman; it seems that's really true," Ye Liuyun said.

“Who says otherwise? Junior Sister Ye, you must be careful. It’s best not to leave the Alchemy Pavilion alone when there’s not much to do,” Nalan Yan said.

Ye Liuyun nodded, and after a while, he arrived at his residence. The mountain peaks here were obviously man-made, not naturally formed, which was very special. However, it was quiet enough, and there was an entire array that enveloped the mountaintop.

In the future, it seems that we won't be able to synthesize pills within the sect anymore. We'll have to find a place nearby to refine them. If we synthesize pills here, we'll definitely be discovered.

This place is quite large, very close to Lin Aoxue, and offers a wide view, allowing one to see the entire outer gate.

"This place is nice." Ye Liuyun picked up the token and activated the defensive formation here. Then she and Nalan Yan looked around casually. Ye Liuyun wasn't the kind of person who knew how to enjoy life, so she wasn't too concerned about the buildings and such.

“That’s right, the inner sect is definitely quieter than the outer sect. Let’s go through the proper procedures first and get you a Cloud Crane. Otherwise, it will be troublesome for you to travel back and forth between the inner and outer sects,” Nalan Yan said.

So the two left the inner gate and went to the spirit beast garden in the public area. In addition to the mounts that Ye Liuyun and the others kept, there were also large white birds that were comparable in size to ostriches. These birds looked a bit like cranes, but their heads were different.

The disciple in charge of the spirit beast garden selected a cloud crane for Ye Liuyun and then gave him a spirit beast bag. He could summon the cloud crane when needed and put it in the bag when not in use, which was very convenient.

The elders of the sect all have their own mounts, but they only use them when they are traveling or in a leisurely mood.

Ye Liuyun was overjoyed to receive his mount. These cloud cranes were very obedient and intelligent. When the disciple in charge of the spirit beast garden brought them to Ye Liuyun, he knew that the person in front of him would be his future master.

Yunhe obediently lay down and rubbed his neck against Ye Liuyun's cheek. Ye Liuyun knew what he meant, so he reached out and patted his head.

"Hmm, I know what you mean. From now on, we'll call you Liusu. Are you a male bird or a female bird?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

As soon as he said that, Nalan Yan, who was standing next to him, wanted to laugh.

"What male or female bird? This is a female Cloud Crane. The disciples of the Spirit Beast Garden would not give male Cloud Cranes to female disciples," Nalan Yan said.

"Oh, is that so? Senior Sister, I'll give it a try first." Ye Liuyun greeted her and then sat on Liusu's back.

Liu Su easily lifted Ye Liuyun up, and Ye Liuyun quickly wrapped his arms around Liu Su's neck.

"Alright, let's go, fly around for a bit, let me get used to it," Ye Liuyun gestured.

Upon hearing this, Liu Su immediately let out a loud cry, then spread her wings, flapped them, and slowly took flight. She probably didn't want Ye Liuyun to be unaccustomed to it, so Liu Su didn't make too many movements, but instead gradually increased her speed.

Don't be fooled by Liu Su's appearance; she has the cultivation level of the mid-stage of the Sea of ​​Wheels realm, and she can also cultivate to further improve her cultivation.

Chapter 134 The Monkey and the Peach Tree

To be honest, sitting on a cloud crane and flying in the sky is more in line with Ye Liuyun's image of an immortal. After all, there are also legends of immortals on Earth, and the immortals in Earth's legends almost always ride mounts. The higher the realm, the more awesome the mount they ride.

After Ye Liuyun came into contact with cultivation, he had a feeling that the legends on Earth might all be true, but they just hadn't reached that level and couldn't access them.

"Hehe, awesome, now I have a way to get around," Ye Liuyun said happily.

If she had known that entering the inner sect would grant her a flying mount, she probably would have wanted to enter the inner sect long ago. Liu Su flew very steadily and didn't actually need Ye Liuyun to hold her neck so tightly. Liu Su knew that Ye Liuyun couldn't fly, so she would release her power to hold onto him.

After getting used to it for a while, Ye Liuyun gestured to Liusu to escort her downstairs.

"Ah! That feels so good. I can finally fly freely, even if it's not by my own power." Ye Liuyun jumped off Liusu's back and exclaimed.

"Hehe, alright, junior sister, let me help you move now," Nalan Yan said.

However, Ye Liuyun directly rejected this suggestion because her residence had a secret that Nalan Yan could not see at the moment. Although Nalan Yan probably wouldn't be able to see anything, it was still best to be careful.

"Oh? This isn't necessary, Senior Sister Nalan Yan. I don't have much stuff. I can get it myself. I'll go back to the Alchemy Pavilion as soon as I'm done carrying it," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's response, Nalan Yan did not press the matter further.

“Alright then, I’ll head back to the Alchemy Pavilion to report to my master,” Nalan Yan replied.

After saying that, she flew into the sky and left.

After she left, Ye Liuyun sat on Liusu again and flew towards her residence in the outer sect. However, her riding the cloud crane definitely attracted the attention of the disciples, and many people recognized Ye Liuyun.

"Hey? Isn't that Junior Sister Ye? Why is she wearing the inner sect core disciple's robes? The pattern is the symbol of the Alchemy Pavilion. Could it be that Junior Sister Ye has been officially accepted into the Alchemy Pavilion?" The disciples who knew Ye Liuyun were all surprised.

Ye Liuyun could hear the whispers of the disciples below, and seeing their surprised expressions, he felt smug again.

"Oh my! It seems that having a higher status is quite a nice feeling," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

After Ye Liuyun flew into the area where the outer sect female disciples lived, the female disciples saw Ye Liuyun and immediately ran towards his residence in surprise.

When Ye Liuyun landed and dismounted from Liusu, the disciples who knew Ye Liuyun were all stunned.

"This? Junior Sister Ye? It's you! You, you've advanced to the inner sect?" There weren't many female disciples in the outer sect to begin with, and most of them knew each other. It was Yu Yuan who spoke up.
