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

Inside the Lin family compound, the patriarch was seen chasing after Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue, wielding a thick stick.

"You little brat, you dare to step into the Lin family's door? You dare to run away from your marriage? Who gave you the audacity to run away from your marriage? Have we treated you badly by letting you become our Lin family's son-in-law? Get out of here, get out of the Lin family, I get angry just looking at you!" the Lin family head roared.

An old man stood nearby, shouting at his son not to go easy on him. That somewhat shady-looking old man was Lin Aoxue's grandfather.

"Hey? Father, husband, stop it. Didn't Yun'er come here to apologize to us?" Madam Lin stopped her husband.

Lin Aoxue kept dragging Ye Liuyun around, running away. The Lin family's place was much more lively than the Ye family's, with chaos and confusion everywhere.

"Dad, Grandpa, stop making a scene! I'm telling you, if you keep this up, Liuyun and I are leaving and never coming back!" Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun shouted from the rooftop.

Ye Liuyun was sweating profusely as he hid behind Lin Aoxue. His father-in-law was too ruthless, wielding such a thick stick.

"You brat, I'm standing up for you! He stood you up, and you're still protecting him like this?" the Lin family head complained.

"That's between her and me. Oh, stop arguing, calm down. I'm going to meet my in-laws with Liuyun first, we'll be back tonight." Lin Aoxue rolled her eyes and then dragged Ye Liuyun away.

In fact, Ye Liuyun was prepared to be taught a lesson when she entered the Lin family, because she knew her father-in-law's personality. However, Lin Aoxue absolutely refused to let Ye Liuyun be taught a lesson.

Seeing the two run away, the Lin family head immediately wanted to chase them into the Ye family compound.

"Alright, alright, the acting is almost over. Didn't you see that Aoxue didn't take that incident seriously at all? The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is." Old Madam Lin called for a halt.

Chapter 152 Preparing for the Wedding (Part 1)

The Lin family was just putting on an act, but unfortunately, they wanted to stand up for Lin Aoxue, but Lin Aoxue didn't need any of that. Theoretically speaking, her relationship with Ye Liuyun transcended kinship.

"Sigh! This girl has always been biased towards outsiders since she was little. She doesn't even realize she's been taken advantage of. Is she the daughter of the Ye family or our Lin family?" The Lin family head sighed heavily.

"Does she look like she's afraid of being taken advantage of? Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. It's good that she's entered the cultivation world. As long as nothing bad happens, at least the Lin and Ye families will have something to look forward to. Staying in the mortal world is like having a knife hanging over your head at any moment, making you feel uneasy," Old Master Lin sighed.

Everyone present understood what he was saying.

"Old man, I think that since both our families have made such concessions, the royal family should at least give us face, right? They shouldn't do anything more outrageous, should they?" Old Madam Lin said.

But Old Master Lin asked a question in return.

“Look at her, your elder sister? Isn’t she the emperor’s sister? Did the emperor give the Lin family any face? Sigh! I wonder how she is now, and whether Old Master Ye will ever see her again in his lifetime,” Old Master Lin sighed.

His words were quite interesting. They meant that Ye Liuyun's grandmother might still be alive, but the Ye family basically treated her as dead, since Old Master Ye almost never mentioned his wife.

When Ye Liuyun was a child, he asked his grandfather about his wife, but the old man would always just smile bitterly, as if he really didn't want to talk about her.

"It was strange back then. After my elder sister gave birth to Ye Kai, she suddenly awakened her cultivation talent, and it was a heaven-defying talent. In the end, she was taken away by the Nine Heavens Holy Land," Madam Lin murmured.

"Ah! Yes, it's been over forty years since we separated. Old Ye probably won't live to see that day again," said Grandpa Lin.

Indeed, judging from Old Master Ye's current age, he doesn't have many years left to live. Of course, with Ye Liuyun around now, perhaps he can help Old Master Ye extend his life for a while longer.

Ye Kai is the name of Ye Liuyun's father; the name of Old Master Ye is Ye Feiwu.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue have already left the Lin family.

"Ah! I was so scared! My father-in-law is too ruthless! That big stick, does he really think I'm some kind of immortal cultivator who can take a beating?" Ye Liuyun said with a frightened expression.

"You think I'd really beat you up? I was just scaring you to make you treat me better in the future and to help me vent my anger. But I don't like them getting involved in my affairs," Lin Aoxue said, hands on her hips, after releasing Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately gave a thumbs up.

“Great minds think alike. To be honest, if it weren’t to make Grandpa and the others happy, I wouldn’t have listened to them and come to your Lin family to apologize. You’re being too polite.” Ye Liuyun shrugged.

But Lin Aoxue was not happy with these words.

"What? Ye Liuyun, you're unhappy that I asked you to come to our house to apologize? Have I been too nice to you? Do you think I'm easy to bully?" Lin Aoxue grabbed Ye Liuyun's soft cheek and said fiercely.

This woman's mood changed in an instant. Just a moment ago she was saying she didn't like being interfered with by her family, but the next moment she was unhappy.

"Oh, okay, okay, I was wrong. Please give me some face when we're at home," Ye Liuyun quickly begged for forgiveness.

And so the two of them, bickering and teasing each other, entered the Ye family's gate. Not long after, Lin Aoxue met Ye Liuyun's parents. In fact, Lin Aoxue had always called Ye Kai and his wife "father" and "mother" since she was a child. Entering the Ye family was no different from entering her own home. Ye Liuyun was much the same.

However, she prefers to call her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and when she calls Old Master Lin, she simply calls him "Old Master".

When Lin Aoxue returned to the Ye family, Ye Kai and his wife were certainly very happy. Madam Ye took Lin Aoxue to a private place to talk. Although the wedding was not completed, the wedding was just a formality. The relationship between the two families had long been established and would not end because of the cancellation of the wedding.

But the wedding still has to be held.

"Young man, I don't know if you're blessed with good fortune from your past life to have such a wife who thinks of you in every way. The key is, you're not happy about it. Sigh! I don't understand what you're thinking." The Ye family head and Ye Liuyun sat alone in the living room and talked.

"Oh, old man, stop interfering in my and Aoxue's business. You wouldn't understand anyway," Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes.

"Huh? I've been through this before, how could I not understand? Tell me, how come I don't understand?" Patriarch Ye got excited.

Seeing that the other party was determined to know the reason, Ye Liuyun moved closer to the Ye family head and said with a smile.

"Old man, if I told you that Aoxue and I were lovers in our past lives, would you believe me?"

The Ye family head was taken aback, then his face darkened, and he reached out to hit someone, but fortunately Ye Liuyun was quick enough to back down and didn't give the Ye family head the chance.

"See? I knew you wouldn't believe me, so why are you asking so many questions? By the way, Grandpa has already told me the secret between our two families, but there's something I've always wanted to know: is Grandma really dead, or not?" Ye Liuyu asked with a serious expression.

The Ye family head, who had been relatively calm, suddenly became somewhat somber when Ye Liuyun mentioned his mother.

After pondering for a while, he decided to tell Ye Liuyun.

"For our family, not being dead is practically the same as being dead," the Ye family head sighed.

This was to tell Ye Liuyun that he was not dead, but they might never meet again.

"This? Old man, I think you should tell me what's going on. I've already entered the path of immortality, and maybe I'll have the opportunity to help you in the future. If you don't tell me anything, are you planning to take all the secrets with you when you die?" Ye Liuyun said bluntly.

The head of the Ye family thought for a moment, and then said this.

“I’ve never met your grandmother since I was a child. She was taken away by cultivators after she gave birth to me. That’s what your grandfather told me.”

Having said that, Ye Liuyun had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on, so she didn't ask any further questions. As for matters concerning cultivators, only she could investigate them herself if she had the chance. Asking the Ye family head wouldn't yield any useful information, since they were just ordinary people.

Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes, then stood up and walked to his father's side.

"Well, hehe, old man, I have a very good suggestion. I wonder if you'd be interested in hearing it?" Ye Liuyun said mysteriously.

Seeing his son's attitude, the head of the Ye family immediately asked with great interest.

"What is it? Tell me about it."

Ye Liuyun quickly leaned close to the Ye family head's ear and told him what he wanted to say, mainly about urging the Ye family head and his wife to have another child.

As soon as she said this, the head of the Ye family almost wanted to hit someone again. After all, she was over fifty years old and didn't have that ability anymore. But when she heard that Ye Liuyun had a way to make him and his wife decades younger, the head of the Ye family immediately showed an incredulous expression.

Of course, she didn't completely disbelieve him, after all, her son was now a cultivator. What mortals couldn't do, cultivators might be able to do.

"You're not kidding, kid?" Patriarch Ye asked in surprise after hearing the story.

"Do I look like I'm joking? Aoxue and I are both cultivators, so it's basically impossible for us to have children. I heard from my grandfather that you also drank the poison given by the royal family, which is why you can't have a son. I can concoct a pill to counteract that poison, but there might still be a chance of it happening. However, it wouldn't matter if we had another daughter, wouldn't you say?" Ye Liuyun said.

The head of the Ye family thought for a moment, then nodded. He stood up and patted Ye Liuyun on the shoulder with a solemn expression.

"Kid, it seems your plan to elope and cultivate immortality wasn't entirely useless after all? In that case, my future happiness depends on you," the Ye family head said seriously.

Ye Liuyun immediately burst into a strange laugh.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll take care of it," Ye Liuyun assured him.

A moment later, Lin Aoxue and Madam Ye also came out.

"Yun'er, your wedding with Xiaoxue still needs to be held. We'll do it when your sister and the others come back. Both our families are looking forward to this. Let the wedding bring a period to your lives in the secular world," Madam Ye said earnestly.

"Okay, don't worry. Just tell us what to do, and Aoxue and I will do it." Ye Liuyun nodded.

That's about enough.

"Madam, let's go to the other side and talk this over properly. By the way, young man, do you still care about getting married or taking a wife?" The Ye family head asked Ye Liuyun.

After much deliberation, Ye Liuyun decided to stick to the original plan, since it was just a formality for her and Lin Aoxue anyway.

After settling things off with both sets of parents, Ye Liuyun pulled Lin Aoxue into his residence alone.

"Aoxue, do you know why our Lin and Ye families gave up everything and returned to our hometown?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Aoxue nodded without hesitation.

"You didn't just find out now, did you? I've known about our family affairs for a long time," Lin Aoxue replied.

"Huh? Oh my god, why didn't you tell me sooner? I only found out the real reason why our two families returned to this mountain town today from my grandfather," Ye Liuyun said with dissatisfaction.

But Lin Aoxue asked a question in return.

Do you think this is important to both of us?

This question caught Ye Liuyun off guard. Indeed, this matter seemed to be of little concern to the two of them.

Lin Aoxue only cared about herself and Ye Liuyun. As for other grudges and grievances, she didn't want to care unless it was necessary. She would get rid of unnecessary troubles if she could. Carrying a burden in life was the most uncomfortable thing.

"It seems that it's not that important. Oh! By the way, I plan to refine some pills to nourish the bodies of our two families' elders, and maybe even neutralize the poison in their bodies," Ye Liuyun said.

Chapter 153 Preparing for the Wedding (Part Two)

This matter did make Lin Aoxue a little concerned.

"Is it really possible?" Lin Aoxue asked doubtfully.

Ye Liuyun quickly told Lin Aoxue the news he had received from Lin Qingyou, and Lin Aoxue immediately agreed.

As for their wedding, it was decided on the same day. It will begin this month, as long as both families' daughters return. In other words, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue may have to stay in Qixia Town for a month before they can leave.

Aside from family members, just like last time, they only invited people from the town to the banquet.

After resolving some issues, Ye Liuyun began refining medicine that very evening.

She showed all her materials to Lin Qingyou, who then personally selected suitable medicinal herbs from them.

"Not bad, you obtained quite a lot of medicinal herbs from the Demon Emperor's Tomb, even the Xuanming Evergreen Fruit. With this, you should be able to refine a Yellow-grade pill, the Evergreen Life-Sustaining Pill. However, your current soul power is not enough. You need to reach the Four Extremes Secret Realm to refine pills of this level, so I will refine it for you personally." Lin Qingyou took out a golden fruit from Ye Liuyun's medicinal herbs.

This is a top-grade Yellow-level medicinal herb.

Don't be fooled by Ye Liuyun's synthesized pills. These pills are different from normal ones. Under normal circumstances, Ye Liuyun can only refine blue-grade pills. Purple-grade pills can only be refined at the Dao Palace realm, and yellow-grade pills can only be refined at the Four Extremes Secret Realm, which requires soul power.

"What effect does this Everlasting Life-Extending Pill have on ordinary people?" Ye Liuyun was quite curious about the pill's effects.

Lin Qingyou smiled slightly.

"This pill is a Yellow-grade Longevity Pill, much better than ordinary Longevity Pills. One Evergreen Life-Extending Pill should be able to increase a mortal's lifespan by two hundred years. Moreover, it can rejuvenate an old body and restore youth. However, I must tell you that this type of pill will inevitably lead to death once its effects wear off. So you should be prepared. Are you planning to have your loved one take this pill now, or do you want to see if there are any higher-grade ones?" Lin Qingyou said seriously.

But Ye Liuyun shook her head. She felt that was enough, and besides, her grandfather and Lin Aoxue's grandparents couldn't wait that long.

"This is it. Master, please refine it for me. Thank you," Ye Liuyun said.

Lin Qingyou chuckled and said no more. She directly entered Ye Liuyun's body and began to refine medicine under his control. Today, Ye Liuyun planned to refine not only the Everlasting Life-Extending Pill, but also some other pills that could be used by mortals.

Since they were all normal pills, and with Lin Qingyou's power isolating them, it was very quiet. However, Ye Liuyun's body collapsed twice that night. There was nothing he could do; Lin Qingyou's power was simply too strong.

And so the night passed.

The next morning, Lin Qingyou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah! Little one, I've used up some of my soul power and need to rest for a while. Don't disturb me during this time." After finishing refining the pills, Lin Qingyou went straight back to her ring and fell asleep.

Ye Liuyun didn't want to deplete Lin Qingyou's remnant soul power. She was an immortal soul, and there was basically no way to replenish her soul power in the lower realm unless Ye Liuyun could obtain Emperor-level medicinal herbs to replenish Lin Qingyou's soul power.

"Thank you, Master." Ye Liuyun expressed his gratitude, then turned his gaze to the small porcelain bottles in front of him.

Ye Liuyun had calculated who these pills were meant for, and they were all perfectly refined. These pills were mainly for prolonging life, and there were also some pills that could enhance the physical strength of mortals, as well as anti-aging pills suitable for women. In total, there were about seven or eight kinds.

These pills are definitely not suitable to be given to them now. We should wait until the day they leave. Some of these pills need to be taken directly by them; we can't let them keep them.

"Liuyun, Liuyun, Luo Xia and the others are here. I've brought them all in." Lin Aoxue led a group of men and women to the outside of Ye Liuyun's courtyard.

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Liuyun quickly went out to take a look and saw more than a dozen people standing outside the courtyard.

"What? Who are you all? Apart from Luo Xia, I can hardly recognize any of you." Ye Liuyun looked at the dozen or so people with great curiosity.

"Brother Yun, it's me, Liu Hai." A woman who looked tall introduced herself.

The others quickly told Ye Liuyun about their previous identities. It was fine for the men, but Ye Liuyun was extremely embarrassed by the fact that these friends who had changed from men to women.

Because it was all her fault, Ye Liuyun felt a deep sense of guilt.

After getting to know each other again, they all complained that they had been men for more than ten years, and suddenly they were going to be women, and in the future they might even become someone else's wife. It was too outrageous and hard to accept.

However, they are all ordinary people, unwilling to accept the settlement, and seemingly have not many other options.

Almost none of them could laugh, and Ye Liuyun couldn't help them at the moment. She only had pills that could turn men into women, not women into men.

Furthermore, it would require time to research, but clearly, she doesn't have that much time right now to develop such a pill; the outcome is uncertain.
