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

But what could Yun Yun do? Moreover, someone from the Yun Sect came today—an inner sect elder from the Four Extremes Secret Realm, a silver-haired woman.

It's estimated that they were sent by the Yun Sect to check on the situation of the Yunxia Sect.

Chapter 143 has quieted down.

The cultivator sent by the Cloud Sect watched the strange changes at Floating Cloud Mountain from afar, but she did not immediately go to the Cloud Mist Sect to find out what was going on.

The main reason is that she doesn't believe that such a small sect like Yunxia Sect could accomplish this. She can't even understand what's going on, yet the people of Yunxia Sect can.

"What a turbulent time! First, the dead came back to life, then the Demon Emperor's Tomb appeared, then a cultivator's gender reversed, and now the Floating Cloud Mountains have actually come back to life on their own. Finally, this seven-colored rain has started to fall, causing plants to grow and mutate wildly." The woman was completely baffled.

The Yunxia Sect sent her to investigate, but she couldn't find anything at all. With her current level of cultivation, she couldn't possibly know what had happened here.

After checking and confirming that she couldn't see anything, she used her divine sense to search for the location of Yun Yun and the others. Knowing where Yun Yun and the others were in their temporary camp, she flew there immediately.

The people from the Yunxia Sect were all sitting here with worried expressions.

The feeling of not being able to go home is truly awful. All the people from the Yunxia Sect who could evacuate have already done so, leaving only a few who are in seclusion.

"Sect Leader Yun." The woman transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the temporary camp where Yun Yun and the others were.

Yun Yun and the others noticed the arrival of a powerful figure and immediately stood up to look at the newcomer.

"Eh? Elder Qin? What brings you here?" Yun Yun was taken aback when she saw the person in front of her, because the person in front of her was Qin Su, the inner sect elder of Yunxia Sect who was responsible for contacting them, and also Qi Chaoying's master.

She is a cultivator at the first level of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, a level of cultivation that surpasses everyone else in the Yunxia Sect. This is why Qi Chaoying is so arrogant; for the Yunxia Sect, she certainly has the right to be arrogant.

Qi Chaoying actually looked down on the Yunxia Sect, but she returned to the sect because of its mission. Most importantly, the sect promised her many benefits, such as helping her break through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm in the future.

But in fact, Yunzong also felt that it was a bit of an empty promise, after all, who can say for sure what the future holds?

Upon seeing his master arrive, Qi Chaoying quickly flew over from a distance.

"Master, what brings you here?" Qi Chaoying asked excitedly.

She and Qin Su hadn't seen each other for a while.

"Well, such a big thing has happened here at your Yunxia Sect, and as the inner sect elder in charge of liaison for the Yunxia Sect, it's only natural that I had to come and see." Qin Su looked at her disciple, who had turned into a woman, and said somewhat speechlessly.

Qin Su naturally knew that her disciple had become a woman, but as a female elder, she felt that it would be more appropriate to get along with Qi Chaoying as a female cultivator.

Furthermore, gender reversal has occurred throughout the entire cultivation world of Nanling, so it's not surprising anymore.

"Oh, then Master, can you tell what happened to our Yunxia Sect?" Qi Chaoying asked.

Qin Su shook her head directly.

"I don't know. This matter is far beyond my understanding. I'm afraid even if we invited the sect's Nascent Soul ancestor, it would be difficult to figure out the situation in this area," Qin Su said.

Qin Su doesn't seem to be a cultivator with a bad personality, so it's hard to understand why she would be interested in someone like Qi Chaoying.

Actually, both of Qi Chaoying's masters had good personalities; they were both gentle. It's a pity, though, that they both had poor judgment.

Of course, in the end, it was because Qi Chaoying was too good at pretending. When she first entered the Yunxia Sect, she was definitely a very good young person, which is why Yun Yun was able to take a liking to her.

Her performance at Yunzong also earned Qin Su's high regard.

But this guy is just pretending. He has a problem inside. No matter how well he pretends on the outside, he's just a hypocrite.

Afterwards, Yun Yun accompanied Qin Su to the Floating Cloud Mountains, because the strange celestial phenomena there had ended, and they needed to take a closer look.

But even if it's over, they still don't dare to enter it casually.

"Sect Master Yun, what are your Yunxia Sect's plans for the future? This mountain range is so close to the Liuyang Mountain Range. This might lead to frequent clashes with the other three major sects and surrounding forces," Qin Su reminded her.

"Sigh! I don't know what to do either. Let's just take it one step at a time. How about we go to the sect and find a new mountain gate for our Yunxia Sect?" Yun Yun asked with a smile.

Qin Su was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. She had no say in such matters. Besides, there was no place within the Yun Sect's territory that was better than the areas where the four subordinate sects were located.

Furthermore, Ye Liuyun had already stopped refining green-grade pills at this point.

"That's about right. Let's refine these few dozen kinds of green-grade pills, and then we'll test them." Ye Liuyun said excitedly, looking at the wide variety of pills in front of him.

Testing drugs to eliminate the problem of poisons is actually much more fun than making medicine.

"You're so calm. The people from Yunxia Sect have all been scared away by your alchemy. They're watching the sect from a distance on a hill a thousand meters away. You're too ruthless, making it impossible for them to go home," Lin Qingyou said, both amused and exasperated.

Ye Liuyun shrugged, indicating that she had no choice. She couldn't just stop refining medicine, could she? Besides, she was already being very restrained by only refining green-grade pills.

After Qin Su and Yun Yun circled the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, they couldn't see any other problems besides the mutations in the flowers, plants, and trees, so they had to return. After returning, she had a private conversation with Yun Che.

After speaking with Qi Chaoying and settling everything, he returned to Yunzong to report back.

Judging from Qi Chaoying's expression, she wasn't particularly happy after talking with Qin Su, because Yun Che had complained about her to Qin Su, saying that she was abusing her status, acting recklessly, disobeying orders, and constantly creating conflicts.

The Yun Sect's goal is to seize control of the Yunxia Sect's next generation without bloodshed, rather than through such a blatant and forceful power grab. Doing so would only provoke dissatisfaction among the Yunxia Sect's higher-ups and disciples, indirectly hindering the tasks assigned by the Yun Sect.

Yun Che's words were reasonable and well-founded, and Qin Su had no way to refute them. She could only call Qi Chaoying over and tell her to restrain herself and not go too far. There are many ways to suppress the disciples of the Yunxia Sect this generation, and it is not necessary to rely on force.

Although Qi Chaoying did not quite agree with Qin Su's words, she did not refute them.

After Qin Su left, Yun Yun waited for a few more days. Seeing that no further changes had occurred, she sent her disciples back to the sect to check on the situation. After confirming that nothing had changed within the Yunxia Sect, they gradually returned to the sect.

As long as there are no strange floating clouds above Yunxia Sect, things will basically calm down. Even after returning to Yunxia Sect, Yun Yun and the others still have a headache because Yunxia Sect is now covered by plants and needs a lot of cleaning before they can leave, since it is almost completely obscuring their view.

"Sigh! It's been a month, and things have finally calmed down." Yun Yun and the others chatted in the sect's main hall.

“Yes, but this time it’s not all bad. It will be much easier for our Yunxia Sect to travel back and forth between the Six Yang Mountains and the sect in the future. The Six Yang Mountains are right outside our door. If anything happens in the Six Yang Mountains, our Yunxia Sect will definitely be the first to arrive,” Yun Hui said.

That's true, but there are advantages and disadvantages. They are too close to the Six Yang Mountains, so the area around the sect will definitely not be very safe in the future. There were originally no monsters in the Floating Cloud Mountains.

But now, the two mountain ranges are almost connected, and there will definitely be monsters active in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range in the future.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's go check on the disciples who stayed in the sect and didn't leave. I hope they're all alright. I'll go see Aoxue too." After saying this, Yun Yun went to Lin Aoxue's residence immediately.

She originally wanted to call Lin Aoxue out immediately, but Lin Aoxue had told her last time that her seclusion this time was very important and that unless there was something she absolutely had to do to come out of seclusion, it was best not to disturb her.

After hearing this, Yun Yun considered it carefully before deciding not to disturb Lin Aoxue. After arriving at Lin Aoxue's secluded cultivation place, she simply observed the situation and breathed a sigh of relief once she confirmed that there was nothing unusual.

"Thankfully, everything's alright. It's a complete mess. Those people were already giving me enough headaches, and now there are these constant strange changes in the world. Aoxue, Aoxue, hurry up and grow up! Your teacher wants some peace and quiet for a while," Yun Yun sighed.

She felt that the position of sect leader was truly difficult to hold, and if she could, she would like to step down. However, she understood that this was not something she could simply abandon.

The sect quickly resumed its operations as usual, but during this time, they needed to cut down trees and remove weeds, which would probably take several days to complete.

As for Ye Liuyun's progress, she has already tried more than a hundred kinds of pills.

However, no more than half of the pills would actually be useful. In other words, at least half of the pills that were refined would have to be temporarily put aside by Ye Liuyun, because these pills needed further testing. In any case, they would not have any effect on her.

The drug testing phase was the most fun, but also the most painful, since there were bound to be poisonous pills among them. However, the pill Ye Liuyun wanted this time was one that could completely cure Qi Chaoying, so he could only endure the hardship and die a few more times.

"Cough cough, ga ga ga..."

This is Ye Liuyun's 130th pill for testing. Strangely, after taking this pill, Ye Liuyun seemed to become mute and could not speak. When he did speak, it was a very unpleasant sound, like a duck.

Fortunately, this type of pill does not have a long-lasting effect on Ye Liuyun's body; at most, it will only last for a minute or two before he recovers.

In other words, Ye Liuyun's body filters out harmful pills, and the effect of harmless pills is normal.

"Damn it! What kind of lousy pill is this? It has no other effect, and it makes my voice sound like a duck quacking."

After Ye Liuyun regained his normal voice, he immediately picked up his notebook and recorded the effects of the pill, naming it "Duck Calling Pill," a very casual name.

The effect listed above is currently unknown. In fact, among the hundreds of pills Ye Liuyun has refined, there are quite a few with unknown effects.

So far, apart from a pill that caused Ye Liuyun to lose his memory for a short period of time, there has been no other pill that has made Ye Liuyun particularly happy.

Chapter 144 A Spiritual Journey Through the Void

Because of Ye Liuyun's special physical condition, this type of negative pill has limited effect on her. However, it's hard to say what it will be like for others. Further testing is needed to determine the true effect of the pill.

Ye Liuyun himself could only test the effects to a relatively obvious degree.

During this time, Ye Liuyun tried more than a hundred pills and died twenty-three times. Only she didn't take death seriously. Although it wasn't real death, the feeling of death was no different from real death. Most people would probably go crazy after experiencing it a few times.

"Next, the 131st pill." Ye Liuyun picked up a pitch-black pill. The pill smelled bad and looked unappealing, making Ye Liuyun somewhat disgusted. In any case, it was obvious that it wouldn't taste good.

Ye Liuyun took a deep breath and then swallowed the pill.

A few breaths later, Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes and collapsed in the stone chamber. However, the black pill did not seem to be a poison pill, as it did not kill Ye Liuyun directly. Instead, it seemed to put Ye Liuyun into a deep sleep.

After Ye Liuyun fell to the ground, a phantom struggled to separate from Ye Liuyun's body, but this time it was not the soul leaving the body in a state of apparent death, but the consciousness leaving the body while still alive.

"Huh? What? Master, what's going on with me? I feel like I'm not dead, but if I'm not dead, why is my soul leaving my body?" Ye Liuyun exclaimed in surprise, first looking at his illusory state and then at his sleeping body.

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Qingyou immediately took a closer look at Ye Liuyun's condition.

"It must be the effect of the pill. The effect of this pill is probably to allow the soul and consciousness of the living to leave the body without the physical body dying. Your state is very special. It's more like the consciousness leaving the body than the soul leaving the body." Lin Qingyou was very surprised to see Ye Liuyun in this state.

When the soul leaves the body, a person will definitely enter a state of apparent death. However, when consciousness leaves the body, it is different; when consciousness leaves the body, the physical body simply enters a deep state of dormancy.

Ye Liuyun wondered what she was feeling at that moment. She reached out and touched the objects around her, but unfortunately, her hand passed right through them.

"I can't touch anything, Master. If I go out in this state, will people see me?" Ye Liuyun was confused.

"Don't worry, the consciousness level is higher than the soul level. Cultivators in the Transformation Realm might be able to detect the existence of a consciousness body, but they have no way to deal with it unless they use special methods. To discover and imprison a person's consciousness body, only cultivators at the Nirvana Realm or above can do it," Lin Qingyou said.

Ye Liuyun laughed when she heard this, which meant that she was currently in a safe state, and she was a little curious about her current condition.

"Then I'll go out and take a look, see what this pill that allows consciousness to leave the body is used for," Ye Liuyun said excitedly.

"Okay, go ahead. If there are any problems, I will forcibly pull your consciousness back." Lin Qingyou nodded.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately controlled her consciousness to float up, ignoring any obstacles and flying out of her residence.

This state is wonderful and special; as long as you have a thought, you can do whatever you want.

But this feeling was familiar, much like Ye Liuyun's sleep paralysis on Earth. She could clearly feel her own body, but the surrounding environment gave her an unreal feeling, as if she were traveling in a dream.

The world was unusually quiet. Most importantly, Ye Liuyun was in a state where he felt no fear and seemed to be unafraid of anything, as if his mind and body had been liberated.

"This? This time the alchemy refining seems to be even more chaotic than last time. But it's good that no one died. Hehe, I'll go take a look and see if the sect leader and the others can find me." Ye Liuyun flew towards the main hall. He encountered many disciples along the way, but these disciples all passed directly through Ye Liuyun's consciousness.

"You really can't find it? That's amazing. This pill would be perfect for gathering information."

Ye Liuyun sighed and finally landed in front of the sect's main hall. However, Yun Yun was not there at the moment, only Yun Che was there. Ye Liuyun calmly walked in.

She looked around. She wasn't usually allowed to come to this place, but today she felt like she was in an empty place.

Yun Che was completely unaware of Ye Liuyun's presence. Ye Liuyun curiously walked over to Yun Che's side to see what he was doing.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Yun Che was currently writing a plan for the future development of the Yunxia Sect. The plan focused entirely on how to make the Yunxia Sect stronger and develop better, without any plans that would harm the sect.

"Huh? This vice sect leader is also a returning cultivator, but he seems different from Qi Chaoying and the others. The vice sect leader seems to be focused on how to build up the Yunxia Sect." Ye Liuyun murmured.

After watching for a while, she left the main hall and began searching for Lin Aoxue's residence. Lin Aoxue's residence was right next to Yun Yun's residence. If she could find Yun Yun, she should be able to find Lin Aoxue.

After searching for a while, she quickly found Yun Yun, who was drinking tea in the courtyard of her residence.

"Here you are? Sect Master, you seem to know how to enjoy yourself. You're secretly drinking spiritual tea all by yourself. Where is Aoxue?" Ye Liuyun landed next to Yun Yun and, after confirming that Yun Yun couldn't see him either, went into the house to search, but there was still no trace of Lin Aoxue.

However, there is also a secluded cave behind this mountain, where Lin Aoxue is currently.

"It seems she's in seclusion." Ye Liuyun glanced at the cave entrance behind the courtyard, then his consciousness passed through the mountain and arrived at the secluded stone chamber where Lin Aoxue was. Upon entering, he saw Lin Aoxue.

A glowing crystal was floating above Lin Aoxue's head. This was the inheritance that Lin Junxian had given her not long ago. It seemed that Lin Aoxue was absorbing the inheritance of a cultivator in the Transformation Realm.

"Still absorbing the power of inheritance? That's too slow. I wonder how long it will take for her to emerge from seclusion." Ye Liuyun circled around Lin Aoxue.

She thought Lin Aoxue wouldn't notice her, but at that moment, Lin Aoxue seemed to sense something and suddenly opened her eyes, scanning her surroundings, especially the position of Ye Liuyun standing beside her.

"I feel like there's something around me," Lin Aoxue muttered to herself, staring at where Ye Liuyun was standing.

Lin Aoxue's sudden opening of her eyes startled Ye Liuyun.

"What? No way, even the sect leader can't detect me, but this guy can sense my presence?" Ye Liuyun was very surprised.

Ye Liuyun was about to leave when a surprising scene unfolded: Lin Aoxue's consciousness also emerged from her physical body.

After Lin Aoxue's consciousness emerged, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Ye Liuyun standing beside her.

Ye Liuyun was embarrassed.

The two stared at each other for a moment, probably wondering why Ye Liuyun was by her side.

"Huh? What? Liu Yun, what are you doing? This is your consciousness, right? How did your consciousness end up here?" Lin Aoxue immediately knew Ye Liu Yun's current state after seeing him pause for a moment.

Don't forget, her power of ascension is to manipulate her consciousness to leave her body and attack the enemy's inner soul and consciousness, so she is very sensitive to consciousness and soul.

After noticing something nearby, she immediately activated the power of her Ascension Body to check her surroundings.

Just because something is not visible to the naked eye does not mean there is nothing unusual about it.

"What?! Aoxue, you can also have your consciousness leave your body?" Ye Liuyun exclaimed in surprise.
