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

Ye Liuyun didn't say much and could only follow his two junior brothers to the alchemy room where Yunxiang was.

At the same time, Yunxiao and Nalan Yan also received the news.

"What? Liu Yu used herbs that weren't old enough to make the pills? That's impossible! The herbs were all distributed by the sect, and she has never left Yunxia Sect. How could she possibly have herbs that weren't old enough?" Upon hearing this news, Yun Xiao's first reaction was that Ye Liu Yun had been framed, so he quickly went to Yun Xiang's alchemy room.

Nalan Yan also completely disbelieved the news she received.

"They've resorted to such tactics, shameless." Nalan Yan's face also darkened. She knew that there would definitely be another clash between them and the returning disciples today.

Looking at Ye Liuyun, she had already arrived at Yunxiang's residence, where Wang Sai and the other two were waiting for her at the door.

When he saw Ye Liuyun approaching, he immediately revealed a playful smile.

"Heh, I didn't expect that the newly promoted core inner disciple, Junior Sister Ye, would actually cheat in alchemy. You'd better give Vice Pavilion Master Yunxiang a reasonable explanation." Wang Sai looked at Ye Liuyun and sneered.

Looking at Wang Sai's sinister expression and tone, Ye Liuyu knew that this guy was definitely up to something, but she had to deal with Yun Xiang first before talking about this.

Ye Liuyun took a deep breath and then walked into Yunxiang's alchemy room. Yunxiang was sitting in the room, and Ye Liuyun's bottle of pills was placed on the table next to her.

"Greetings, Vice Pavilion Master," Ye Liuyun said, bowing respectfully.

When Yunxiang saw Ye Liuyun arrive, she calmly looked at him. Seeing that Ye Liuyun was composed and showed no fear or guilt, she knew that the person in front of her must have been framed and that she herself had fallen into a trap set by someone.

But there's no other way. Since the situation has occurred, it needs to be resolved. If Ye Liuyun doesn't even have this much-needed way to break the deadlock, then she will have a hard time surviving in the cultivation world.

Chapter 138 The Clash Begins

Yunxiang pointed to the large pill bottle that Ye Liuyun was using beside her. Only Ye Liuyun in the entire Alchemy Pavilion knew how to use a bottle of this size.

Furthermore, in order to make it easier to identify who refined the pills, the Alchemy Pavilion requires that each alchemist's medicine bottle used to store pills must bear a personal identification mark.

"You refined this bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills, didn't you?" Yunxiang asked bluntly.

Ye Liuyun glanced at it, then nodded.

"The bottle containing the pills is indeed mine," Ye Liuyun replied.

Her answer was quite interesting; she only admitted that the porcelain bottle containing the pills was hers, but did not immediately admit that the pills inside were also hers.

However, Ye Liuyun's words immediately prompted Wang Sai and the other two to rebuke him.

"Junior Sister Ye, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by saying that the bottle containing the pills is yours, and that means the pills inside aren't yours?" Wang Sai certainly wasn't going to let Ye Liuyun get through this easily.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately conducted a psychological assessment of Wang Sai.

"Another one with a mental illness, sigh! He needs treatment." Ye Liuyun sighed inwardly.

If she diagnoses someone with an illness, then she will definitely try to find a way to treat them properly. Of course, she must first get through the current difficulties.

"Senior Brother Wang, I don't recall saying the pills weren't mine, did I? I haven't even seen the pills inside, so how can you claim they're mine? If someone put substandard pills into my bottle, does that mean the pills in my bottle are necessarily the ones I refined?" Ye Liuyun retorted.

This sentence left Wang Sai speechless. He didn't really have a reason to retort to Ye Liuyun for a moment, so he could only snort coldly.

"Then take a look first, and see if the pills inside are yours." Yunxiang waved her hand, and the porcelain bottle containing the pills immediately flew to Ye Liuyun's front.

Ye Liuyun immediately caught the bottle, then opened the porcelain bottle and glanced calmly at the pills inside. Ye Liuyun didn't need to look at much; with just one glance, she knew that these were not her pills because the quality was too poor, several levels below the pills she refined.

"This pill? It's utterly garbage. Putting aside the issue of deliberately using herbs that haven't reached the required age for refining, the level of craftsmanship alone suggests it was made by a third-rate alchemist. I suggest the person who refined these pills relearn the basics of alchemy and start over." Ye Liuyun mocked without any politeness.

These words nearly made Wang Sai and the other two beside Ye Liuyun furious. Their faces turned ashen, because they were the ones who had refined this pill specifically to punish Ye Liuyun.

When Ye Liuyun said those words, wasn't he openly insulting them? It would be one thing to insult them about other things, but to call them third-rate alchemists was simply a challenge to their self-esteem and a complete humiliation.

However, they dared not lose their temper on the spot, because if they did, wouldn't that be telling others that they had something to hide?

So Wang Sai forced himself to suppress his anger.

"You bastard, you brat, how dare you call me a third-rate alchemist? Just wait, I won't let you get away with this today." Wang Sai was furious, mainly because he didn't expect Ye Liuyun's words to be so sharp and her attack so powerful.

"Haha, Vice Pavilion Master, I knew Junior Sister Ye wouldn't admit it. That's right, who would admit to lying? If it were me, I wouldn't admit it either. I suggest we don't ask anymore, just send Junior Sister Ye to the Enforcement Hall and let them interrogate her. Maybe she'll confess soon." Wang Sai laughed heartily.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes. She was about to say something when Yunxiao's voice came from outside the door.

"Oh? Wang Sai, since when did you start calling the shots in this Alchemy Pavilion? Where do you place me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yunxiao walked in with Nalan Yan. Yunxiang knew that Yunxiao would definitely come, so she was not surprised. She calmly stood up and bowed to Yunxiao.

"Senior brother, you've arrived," Yunxiang said.

"Greetings, Pavilion Master." Wang Sai and the others quickly bowed as well.

Yunxiao snorted coldly at Wang Sai, then walked over and sat down next to Yunxiang.

Wang Sai was clearly not flustered or afraid by Yunxiao's arrival, because it was all within expectations.

“Sect Master, you’ve come at the right time. You must already know what happened. I didn’t mean to challenge your authority just now. It’s just that this Junior Sister Ye completely denies that she’s been lying. We definitely won’t get anything out of her if we ask her. Why don’t we let the people from the Enforcement Hall ask her? Maybe they can find out.” Wang Sai said with a smile.

But Ye Liuyun wasn't going to put up with this guy.

"Yes, send me to the Enforcement Hall, and then have your people intimidate and torture me. A coward like me would probably have no choice but to confess, right?" Ye Liuyun and his group revealed their plan.

"You? Ye Liuyu, I'm speaking to the Pavilion Master. You're just a core disciple. When did you get the right to interrupt?" Wang Sai immediately used his Spirit Pattern Realm power to intimidate Ye Liuyu.

Unfortunately, with his limited abilities, he couldn't affect Ye Liuyun at all.

"Shut your mouth! Neither Junior Sister Yunxiang nor I have made a decision on this matter. What decision do you, a mere disciple, have? When did you become the one with the right to punish disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion?" Yunxiao rebuked angrily.

Wang Sai was immediately speechless. Indeed, he only had the right to supervise and the right to speak, but no real power, because he had lost to Nalan Yan. Therefore, the management of the disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion was still in Nalan Yan's hands.

After Wang Sai shut up, Yunxiao turned his gaze to Ye Liuyun.

“Liu Yu, now that this has happened, it needs to be resolved. Do you have a way to prove your innocence?” Yun Xiao asked.

Ye Liuyun smiled calmly.

“It’s simple. Although it’s just a Spirit Gathering Pill, the pills produced will vary in degree due to differences in alchemy skills. Most people would not be able to tell the difference, but I am naturally sensitive to the details of pills. I only glanced at it just now and found that the pills in this porcelain bottle were made by three different people.”

"If I were to refine it, would there be three different alchemy techniques?" Ye Liuyun countered.

Upon hearing this, Wang Sai and the other two were startled. They stared at Ye Liuyun in disbelief, realizing at a glance that the pills inside were not made by one person. This was simply unbelievable.

Even Yunxiao and Yunxiang were surprised. They certainly understood this principle: the same pills produced by different alchemists would have different effects, but the difference was very small and had nothing to do with the efficacy of the medicine.

Even if they were to make their own judgment, neither of them could guarantee that they wouldn't make a mistake.

It can only be said that their alchemy skills are not very high.

"Nonsense! You're just a lowly Spirit Stream Realm cultivator, a mere White-Rank Alchemist. What right do you have to say such things? I've only ever heard of pills having differences in quality and efficacy, never of the same pill being able to identify which alchemist made it. Do you think you're a Grandmaster Alchemist? That the pills bear your exclusive mark?" Wang Sai retorted angrily.

"Hehe, Senior Brother Wang, don't be in such a hurry. Since I dare to say this, I am naturally confident. Pavilion Master and Vice Pavilion Master, please allow me to distinguish the pills in this bottle in front of everyone, and then perform pill analysis to separate the components. In this way, everyone can see that the same Spirit Gathering Pill is different from the others," Ye Liuyun said.

The moment the words "elixir dissolution" were uttered, all the alchemists present were stunned.

What is "elixirtypology"? It is the process of separating the components from the elixir. When each person blends medicinal materials, the components will vary to some extent due to the control of the heat.

Moreover, this is a problem that most alchemists simply cannot correct or avoid, as it is their alchemy habit.

Ordinary people may not be able to judge the weight of one grain of sand versus two grains of sand, but cultivators have a keen sense of divine perception. Once the ingredients are separated, they can use their divine perception to distinguish the content of the medicinal materials.

"Dan Jie? You have quite the nerve. I've only ever heard of such a technique in rumors. Even the alchemists of the Yun Sect don't have that ability." After his initial surprise, Wang Sai immediately rebuked him again.

However, Ye Liuyun ignored him and instead looked at Yunxiao and Yunxiang.

"Do you really have this ability?" Yunxiang asked.

"Disciple, if I didn't have the ability, I wouldn't dare to make such boastful claims here," Ye Liuyun said confidently.

There was no other way. I didn't want to reveal too much of my abilities, but others were pressing me so hard. If I wanted to break out of this predicament, I had to show some of my skills. Relying on just talking wouldn't work.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun had three purposes in doing this.

First, it proves that the elixir was not made by him.

Second, find out who framed her.

Third, to better showcase their alchemy talent.

“Good. Since you are so confident, then I agree to let you perform the alchemy in public.” Yunxiao said.

Yunxiao spoke up, so whether Yunxiang agreed or not was no longer important.

Ye Liuyun didn't say much, but went straight up and borrowed a table from Yunxiang in the alchemy room.

After the table was set up, Ye Liuyun took out three porcelain bowls and then carefully separated the pills from the medicine bottle and placed them into the three bowls.

She was quick, almost instantly, without hesitation.

Soon, the nearly one hundred pills were separated.

“Alright, these three porcelain bowls contain Spirit Gathering Pills refined by three people. You two Pavilion Masters and Senior Sister Nalan, why don’t you take a look at the appearance of the pills first?” Ye Liuyun gestured.

The group did not refuse. They walked to the table and glanced at the pills. The three pills had different luminescence, but the difference was very subtle. They would not be able to see it if they were placed together, but it would be more obvious when they were separated.

“The luster of this pill is slightly more intense. It certainly doesn’t seem to have been made by one person. Three people?” After looking at it, Yunxiao turned his gaze to Wang Sai and the other two.

Aren't these three guys just three people? And Wang Sai's alchemy skills are better than the other two.

The three of them froze.

"Damn it, what? This woman actually managed to distinguish the pills we three refined." Wang Sai immediately communicated with the other two through their spiritual senses.

"Senior Brother Wang, this woman is strange. We can't let her succeed, or the three of us will be in big trouble," the other two said anxiously.

They panicked.

Chapter 139 The Method of Elixir Removal

Ye Liuyun's abilities were beyond the expectations of the three of them, and such a thing would not normally happen in a small place like Yunxia Sect.

In their understanding, the method of alchemy only existed in legends and they had never seen it before. But now, a white-level alchemist from a small sect said that she would use the method of alchemy to prove that she did not make these pills. This was unbelievable.

This is as absurd as a beggar claiming to have been an emperor; it's hard to believe.

"Calm down. Things have come to this point, we can only gamble that this guy is bluffing. Besides, even if she has completed the alchemy, so what? At most, it will just prove that she was framed. As long as the three of us grit our teeth and don't admit it, that's enough." Wang Sai was already prepared to play the rogue.

After observing the situation for a while, Yunxiang and the others returned to their original seats. The pills in Ye Liuyun's medicine bottle were indeed not made by one person. Of course, this was only a preliminary conclusion, which could at most reduce suspicion about Ye Liuyun, but was not enough to completely prove their innocence.

"Alright, Liuyu, we've checked. The pills do have a problem, but that's not enough. You still need to provide solid evidence." Yunxiao was basically relieved. He felt that Ye Liuyun should be able to easily resolve this trouble.

Yunxiang remained silent. Although she was also a cultivator who had returned from the Yun Sect, she didn't want to participate in this struggle at all and just wanted to quietly refine medicine.

This time, Wang Sai did something without even consulting her. Of course, she knew that even if she did, at most she would just ignore it, not ask questions, not refuse, and let them do what they wanted. Discussing the matter objectively would be the best outcome.

"Alright, I'll begin the pill-refining process right away. However, in order to find out who secretly framed me, could I request that each of the alchemy disciples in the Alchemy Pavilion give me one of their own refined Spirit Gathering Pills? That way, we can compare them." Ye Liuyun glanced at Wang Sai and the other two out of the corner of his eye.

Ye Liuyun's words were very direct: as long as Wang Sai and the other two handed it over, and it was later found out that the three of them were the ones who did it, that would be irrefutable evidence, and they would have no way to deny it.

"What? Damn brat, senior brother, we can't hand over the pills!" The other two female disciples were getting more and more anxious.

Wang Sai gritted his teeth, but nothing was decided yet, and they had to stay calm and not panic.

"Junior Sister Yunxiang, what do you think?" Yunxiao asked Yunxiang.

Yunxiang remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Seeing that she had tacitly agreed, Yunxiao didn't discuss it with Wang Sai and the others, and spoke directly to Nalan Yan.

"Yan'er, go to the pill storage room and bring over one copy of each of the Spirit Gathering Pills refined by all the alchemists in the pavilion. We'll compare them after the Flowing Rain Pills are decomposed."

Nalan Yan nodded and then walked out of Yunxiang's alchemy room alone. This time, it would be difficult for Wang Sai and the others to continue their tricks, because there must be some of their own refined pills in the pill storage room.

Now that things have come to this, they can only resign themselves to fate; there is no other way.

Ye Liuyun also began to process the pill. She took out her Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron, which looked like an ordinary medicine cauldron with nothing special about it. Yunxiao and the others, with their cultivation levels, would definitely not be able to tell anything about it.

After taking out the medicine cauldron, Ye Liuyun released his Myriad Medicine Immortal Fire. The emerald green flames surprised everyone around him, because such an abnormal flame color meant that at the very least it was a demonic fire, but more likely it was a strange fire.

"A demonic fire, or a strange fire?" the group of alchemy disciples couldn't help but exclaim.

Wang Sai and the other two were also startled. The emerald green flame looked really special, but after careful observation, they found that it should not be a strange fire or a demonic fire, because the flame in Ye Liuyun's hand did not have the characteristics of these two types of flames. These two types of flames have one thing in common, that is, they are violent and have extremely high energy fluctuations.

However, the flames released by Ye Liuyun were too docile, as docile as a little puppy, without any killing power. Therefore, they unanimously concluded that this should only be the effect of the technique.

"You scared me! I thought it was a demonic fire or a strange fire. It seems it's not. I knew it! How could a mere early-stage Spirit Stream Realm cultivator possess a flame of this level?" Wang Sai breathed a sigh of relief.

"This little girl is quite a surprise," Yunxiao said, slowly sitting down as well.

This Myriad Medicines Immortal Flame was indeed a genuine exotic flame, but after Lin Qingyou became an immortal, the Myriad Medicines Immortal Flame also became an immortal, possessing extremely high intelligence. Lin Qingyou passed this flame on to Ye Liuyun, who is now the new master of this Myriad Medicines Immortal Flame. Naturally, he is as docile as a little puppy.

Ye Liuyun took a deep breath, then threw one of the pills into the medicine cauldron and began to perform the pill dissolution in front of everyone.

However, this was actually Ye Liuyun's first time performing a pill dissolution. Pill dissolution is much more troublesome than pill fusion. If you are not careful, you can destroy all the ingredients of the pill. Therefore, you need to be very careful.

Ye Liuyun focused her attention on the pills. She first used flames to melt the pills, and then separated them little by little. This seemingly simple thing was already incredible to Yunxiao and the others.
