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

They are Taiqing Immortal Palace, Yuqing Immortal Palace, and Shangqing Immortal Palace, respectively.

These three super powers are the lineage of the Celestial Venerable, but they generally do not accept disciples unless they are exceptionally outstanding. Only then will they step forward to recruit them. Joining one of the three great immortal palaces means ascending to the heavens in one step.

There was also Ye Qinglu. She had only been on the ground for a short time when she was taken away by a powerful figure from the Shangqing Immortal Palace. Ye Qinglu did not refuse him.

This means that Ye Liuyun is actually the only one who still needs to struggle in small places for a while. If she knew that Ye Qinglu and Lin Aoxue had joined the top forces in the Immortal Realm, she would probably vomit blood and question the heavens why she was given such treatment.

Ye Liuyun rode on the black ox and quickly arrived at the city gate. All the cities in the Immortal Realm were directly managed by the various Heavenly Courts.

"Luofan City, what a fitting name," Ye Liuyun remarked.

As Ye Liuyun stared blankly at the name of the city before him, the cultivators entering and exiting the city gate were all sizing him up, or rather, sizing up the black ox beneath him.

"A Qilin! This girl actually has a Qilin mount. She's extraordinary. Could she be a descendant who has just ascended to the Immortal Realm?" some passersby speculated.

In their eyes, only newcomers to the Immortal Realm are so high-profile.

"Master, they all seem to be watching us," Black Bull suddenly reminded him.

Ye Liuyun glanced at these people. They seemed ordinary, but Ye Liuyun now understood that they were basically the chosen ones who had descended to the mortal realm. Unfortunately, after arriving in the immortal realm, they were just like ordinary people, losing their former status and abilities.

However, Ye Liuyun did not think he would be like them.

Not long ago, that old man said something that really fits the situation in the immortal realm: In the immortal realm, the most important things are opportunity, luck, and connections. Don't think you're so great in the mortal realm, because people as great as you in the immortal realm are as common as cabbages on the road.

There were soldiers in fiery red armor at the gate. These soldiers felt very different from the others. They clearly possessed a powerful aura. These were celestial soldiers from the Eastern Heavenly Realm. Even the weakest among them were at the Earth Immortal Realm. Moreover, they possessed cultivation methods, but their methods could only allow them to reach the Celestial Immortal Realm at most, and even that was extremely difficult.

Heavenly soldiers are the weakest gods in the Heavenly Court, but even as the weakest, they are still far superior to ordinary earth immortals. By the way, immortals without divine positions actually have a common name: wandering immortals. Wandering immortals are not a realm, but a status.

Above the Heavenly Soldiers are the Heavenly Generals, who are also true gods at the Heavenly Immortal level. The highest-ranking Heavenly General in Luofan City is also the city lord of Luofan City.

And what do these powerful beings from the lower realms who ascend to the immortal realm do after arriving there?

There are generally three options. The first is like the old man before, who became an ordinary person or immortal living a carefree life.

The second option is to work for various immortal sects or Heavenly Court institutions to earn immortal crystals and try to save enough money to buy immortal techniques. However, this is very difficult, as immortal crystals are the currency in the immortal realm and contain a small amount of immortal energy. Immortals also age and die.

The normal lifespan of a deity in the immortal realm is 100,000 years, but most deities do not live to that age because their divine bodies need immortal energy to nourish them. They need enough immortal energy to survive, but without immortal techniques, they cannot absorb the immortal energy of heaven and earth and can only rely on immortal crystals and some immortal medicines to replenish the immortal energy in their bodies.

However, without a large amount of immortal crystals and immortal medicines to replenish it, it only reduces the loss of lifespan. If you don't absorb any immortal energy, you can only live for a hundred years in the immortal realm at most, and your lifespan of 100,000 years will be completely exhausted.

The third option is to participate in the annual recruitment by various local forces. If you are lucky enough to be selected, that can be considered as starting your journey to the immortal realm.

Therefore, if you don't want to die too quickly after arriving in the Immortal Realm, you have to fight.

After observing the city gate for a while, Ye Liuyun gestured for Black Bull to enter the city, indicating that they definitely needed to go inside and take a look.

Upon entering, Ye Liuyun saw everything in the city. The place was crowded with people, and there were houses and shops all around, making it almost indistinguishable from cities in the lower realms. Merchants were everywhere, selling things like materials, tools, and other seemingly ordinary items.

To be honest, if he hadn't met that old man, Ye Liuyun would never have believed that this was the Immortal Realm.

Ye Liuyun was curious about what these stalls sold, so he randomly picked a stall that sold women's accessories and cosmetics and stopped there.

The stall owner was a middle-aged woman. She glanced at Ye Liuyun and the black bull beneath him, and her eyes immediately lit up with enthusiasm.

"Young lady, you must have just ascended to the Immortal Realm. Come and take a look! All the ornaments here are made with materials imbued with immortal energy. Wearing them can slow down the loss of lifespan. And these rouge and powders are also made with medicinal herbs imbued with immortal energy. Applying them can reduce the signs of aging." The stall owner introduced enthusiastically.

After listening to the product description, Ye Liuyun understood what was going on. It turned out that these seemingly ordinary products actually contained celestial energy, which was why they were worth selling.

"Senior, since you can tell that I have just ascended, why do you think I might have money from the Immortal Realm to buy your goods?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

The stall owner smiled.

“Young lady, these clothes and accessories from the lower realm are all worth money. If you have any other treasures or materials from the lower realm, you can use them to offset the price of immortal crystals. If you want to buy my goods, how about this: give me these clothes you are wearing, and I will sell you a bottle of Immortal Hibiscus Cream, how about that?” the stall owner said with a smile.

Ye Liuyun glanced at his clothes, then at the hibiscus cream the other person had mentioned.

"This...the clothes I'm wearing are top-tier treasures in the lower realms, but are they so worthless in the immortal realm that they're only worth a cup of hibiscus ointment?" Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

If things from the lower realms have no value, then why would the other party want them? Ye Liuyun felt that it couldn't be that simple.

"Haha, things from the lower realms aren't very valuable in the immortal realm. Their only value is the merit and karmic obstacles you can obtain from them. Since you can ascend to the immortal realm, you'll be carrying the fortune of a world, which is divided into merit and karmic obstacles. As for what they're used for, I'm sorry, I can't tell you." The stall owner gave a rough explanation.

Ye Liuyun listened in a daze; this was something new and exciting.

"Then how do you determine how much merit and karma I have accumulated?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

The stall owner didn't hide anything about this; she raised her hand, revealing a ring with a gold gemstone on her finger.

"This is a treasure for accumulating merit. It can detect the karmic obstacles and merits of the items you carry. If you're willing to use your belongings to offset my purchases, I can demonstrate it for you," the stall owner explained.

Ye Liuyun felt it was necessary to try it out, so she raised her hand and took a hairpin off her hair.

"Alright, senior, do you think this hairpin of mine has the luck you mentioned?"

The stall owner was taken aback and couldn't help but think to himself, "What do you mean?"

"Tch! What luck could a broken hairpin possibly have? What a waste of my time."

But she only complained to herself in the end, and then took the ornament from Ye Liuyun and put it in front of her magic treasure, letting the treasure check the luck on the hairpin.

Originally, the woman didn't take it seriously at all, but when her magic treasure touched the hairpin, something unexpected happened. The hairpin suddenly shone with a very rich golden light, which was extremely dazzling.

"This? How is this possible?" The stall owner was startled.

The people around also turned their attention to Ye Liuyun's hairpin, their expressions filled with astonishment and disbelief.

"My goodness, a hairpin carries such profound merit! Heavens, how many good deeds did the owner of this hairpin do in the mortal realm?" All the people around gathered around, staring intently at the hairpin in the stall owner's hand.

Ye Liuyun, on the other hand, looked completely bewildered, not understanding what the golden light emanating from the hairpin meant.

The stall owner glanced at the hairpin in his hand, then looked at Ye Liuyun and the envious immortals around him with a shocked expression.

"Ten thousand merit points? This, gulp." Soon, a number condensed on the stall owner's merit treasure. This number was the merit detected from the hairpin.

Ye Liuyun didn't understand the concept of 10,000 merits, but she could tell from the looks of the people around her that it was definitely not simple.

"Senior, would you like this?" Ye Liuyun asked.

The stall owner looked at the hairpin in his hand and felt that it was extremely heavy.

"I want it, miss. I'll sell you all my immortal crystals and everything else I own. See you again someday." The stall owner gave Ye Liuyun all his valuables, even the merit ring on his hand. Finally, he took the hairpin, slipped through the crowd, and disappeared into the street as quickly as possible, his whereabouts unknown.

This scene left Ye Liuyun stunned and speechless.

Soon, someone nearby shouted at Ye Liuyun.

"Girl, you've been scammed. Even if she sold herself, she couldn't afford your lucky charm."

Ye Liuyun was stunned when he heard this, and the people around him, seeing that the woman had already run away with the things, naturally lost interest in surrounding Ye Liuyun.

“Girl, are you confused? It’s obvious you just ascended to the Immortal Realm and know nothing. That one magic treasure of yours could be exchanged for a true god position in the Heavenly Court,” an old man said helplessly.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling array of colorful rays of light suddenly descended upon the sky above Luofan City.

"By imperial decree of His Majesty the Eastern Emperor of the Heavenly Court, Yang Tao, a wandering immortal from Luofan City, is hereby granted the title of Peach Blossom Fairy and is permitted to proceed to the Heavenly Court to report for duty." A majestic voice followed.

The next moment, the middle-aged woman who had taken Ye Liuyun's hairpin was enveloped in a golden light and slowly flew up. The moment she took flight, she quickly transformed into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and a large number of flower petals floated down from the sky.

Under the golden light, the girl's clothes transformed into a light pink, ethereal dress. Guided by the golden light, she flew into the clouds with beautiful aspirations and disappeared. Afterward, everything returned to normal.

It seems that this female cultivator is not human, but rather a peach blossom in human form.

"Holy crap, so fast? It really is?" Ye Liuyun was dumbfounded as he watched the other party being guided to godhood.

Chapter 906 The Role of Merit (Bonus Chapter for 5K+200 Monthly Tickets)

The so-called "treasure of fortune" is a term used in the celestial realm to refer to objects that contain fortune. Ordinary immortals do not need merit or karmic obstacles, but gods do. For gods, merit is an omnipotent thing, and their advancement and strength are closely related to merit.

The Heavenly Court has places in various regions that buy up fortune. As long as the merit contained in the fortune magic treasure is enough, you can get not only a true god position, but even a Heavenly King position.

Ten thousand merits can be exchanged for a true god's position, which shows that merits are not so easy to earn. No wonder that woman just now didn't give Ye Liuyun any time to think. She took the hairpin and ran away without taking anything else. It turns out that this hairpin can make her a true god.

"Damn, isn't this bullying an honest person? But if even a random, inconspicuous hairpin of mine contains such rich merit, what about my other things?" Ye Liuyun's eyes lit up as he looked at his jewelry and clothes.

First of all, she definitely wouldn't become a god, because being a god has both advantages and disadvantages. She couldn't possibly not want to work for others. Besides, she has a large family to take care of in her inner space, and if she comes to the immortal realm, she will definitely reach the end of the immortal path.

Ye Liuyun picked up the merit ring left behind by the female stall owner, and then took all of her belongings. These things might be low-grade, but they were definitely still valuable to Ye Liuyun at this point.

At this moment, in the city lord's mansion of Luofan City, a middle-aged man dressed in golden armor looked completely bewildered.

"How strange! In our tiny Fallen City, someone actually managed to exchange merit points for a True God's position. How is this possible? Someone, go and investigate what has happened in the city recently," the middle-aged man ordered.

Immediately, a celestial soldier responded to the middle-aged man's command.

This middle-aged man was named Lou Wenlong, a Heavenly General stationed in Luofan City by the Eastern Heavenly Court, and a Celestial Immortal.

Not only was Lou Wenlong puzzled by this matter, but even the Xuanxiao Sect Master Chixiao Zhenren, who was located east of Luofan City, immediately ordered his disciples to go to Luofan City to investigate the recent incident of an immortal becoming a god.

It should be noted that True Man Chixiao joined the Heavenly Court with the cultivation of a Celestial Immortal and became a nominal Heavenly Official, which is how he attained the position of True God.

The stall owner from earlier only obtained a magical treasure containing 10,000 merits, which directly converted into his hard-won position as a true god. This only shows that in the immortal realm, luck is far more important than hard work and struggle.

Looking at Ye Liuyun again, she was still riding her black ox around the street, which was very conspicuous, or rather, extremely high-profile.

"Medicinal herbs... I wonder if the medicinal herbs from the Immortal Realm can help me synthesize pills," Ye Liuyun muttered, looking at the materials sold at the stalls and shops.

As Ye Liuyun walked and looked around, he took out the storage magic item that the female cultivator had left behind not long ago. This storage magic item was different from the one in the lower realm; it was purely a tool, a bag. When he opened it, there was a very special crystal inside. This thing looked a bit like a spirit stone from the lower realm, but the energy contained inside was different.

"This thing is just immortal crystals? It's only worth a few hundred yuan. That's too poor. They're trying to do business with such a small amount of money," Ye Liuyun complained.

Little did she know that most immortals in the celestial realm only earned one immortal crystal a day for working for others, and this female stall owner's wealth already surpassed that of many immortals.

"Hey, a guide to the Immortal Realm? This is a good thing! Is this an introduction to the Immortal Realm?" Ye Liuyun quickly took it out and flipped through it.

To be honest, this thing is actually an introductory booklet recording common knowledge about the immortal realm. After reading the contents recorded here, you can have a basic understanding of the immortal realm. There is also a map of the Eastern Heaven Realm on it.

This Eastern Celestial Realm is a separate continent. To be precise, the five Celestial Realms of the Celestial Realm are all independent and not connected. Unless you reach the Celestial Immortal Realm, you cannot leave the Celestial Realm you are currently in.

Ye Liuyun spent a while reading through everything the female cultivator had left behind. The most important thing she left behind was her own diary, which recorded her past experiences in the Immortal Realm.

This female cultivator came from a place called Yao Guang Star Domain. Her true form was a peach blossom. She cultivated for thousands of years and became the Heavenly Abyss Supreme of Yao Guang Star Domain. In the end, she successfully ascended to the Immortal Realm. Unfortunately, the Immortal Realm was far from what she had imagined.

When she first arrived, her reaction was similar to that of Ye Liuyun and the others, but none of that mattered. What mattered was that this female cultivator suffered a lot of losses. For example, on the third day after arriving in the Immortal Realm, she was swindled out of all her luck and magical treasures and was almost sold off. In short, she was miserable. Imagine how a female emperor would be treated in the Immortal Realm. Who could accept that?

Unfortunately, if you don't want to die, you can only slowly integrate into the immortal realm. She suffered a lot and learned a lot of lessons, which were exactly what Ye Liuyun needed.

The most important sentence above is: don't easily trust others, especially your own kind. She was deceived by another peach blossom fairy back then.

"Fine, seeing how miserable your experience was, I won't hold it against you for tricking me." Ye Liuyun said, and immediately pulled the black ox to a deserted alley. When they came out again, Ye Liuyun put away all the things he had brought from the lower realm and changed into the immortal clothes left behind by the peach blossom demon.

The clothes were very ordinary. After changing into them, Ye Liuyun immediately lost her beauty and temperament, turning into an ordinary village girl. There was no way around it; the style of the clothes was a bit old-fashioned.

As for Black Bull, Ye Liuyun fed him a disguise pill, turning him back into a donkey. Since he couldn't use his powers, he could only eat the disguise pill.

But just as Ye Liuyun was about to leave the alley with Hei Niu, he discovered that several cultivators had appeared in the alley at some point, and these cultivators were staring at Ye Liuyun with ill intent.

These guys must have witnessed Ye Liuyun's transaction with that peach blossom demon not long ago. Plus, Ye Liuyun was so high-profile just now, it's obvious he just ascended from the lower realm, you can tell just by looking at his attire.

They followed Ye Liuyun secretly all the way into the alley.

Ye Liuyun narrowed his eyes immediately upon seeing these people.

"Is there anything I can help you with, seniors?" Ye Liuyun asked.

One of the middle-aged men stepped forward and said to Ye Liuyun in a deep voice.

"You just ascended from the lower realm, didn't you? Little girl, hand over everything you brought from the lower realm, and I might let you go."

"That's right, hand over everything, or you won't be leaving this alley." The others said menacingly.

Looking at these guys who resembled bandits and robbers, Ye Liuyun found it hard to believe that they were once supreme beings in the lower realm. They had completely lost the temperament and demeanor that should have come with their status.

"Hey! Seniors, you were all once supreme beings in the lower realms, and now you're engaging in robbery and shady dealings. Is that appropriate?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Ye Liuyun's words seemed to have touched a nerve, causing the group to immediately become menacing.

"You brat, you're asking for it." The burly man said as he threw a punch. Although they couldn't unleash their full power because they lacked magical abilities, they still possessed ordinary fist and foot skills.

Unfortunately, most of them were magic cultivators, and magic cultivators ascended through their souls. Ye Liuyun was different; she achieved sainthood through her physical body. If you compared physical strength with her, even in the Heavenly Realm, a sainthood through the soul could not compare to a sainthood through the physical body.

Ye Liuyun watched as the opponent attacked, without even dodging, because just as the opponent's fist was about to touch Ye Liuyun, a dark figure appeared in front of Ye Liuyun, blocking the attack for him.

This scene stunned all of them.

"Tch! Is this the power of celestial immortals? Too weak, isn't it? They dare to rob us with such meager abilities."

The black bull stood up and easily nudged the opponent's fist with its donkey hooves. No matter how the opponent attacked, they could not budge the black bull an inch.

These people weren't ignorant; realizing something was wrong, they quickly retreated.

"Pure physical strength? It actually ascended to the immortal realm through physical sainthood. This donkey demon is no ordinary creature." The expressions of these people changed.

It was obvious that they couldn't win. A magic cultivator without magic power would be courting death if they fought against a body cultivator.

"Oh ho, you've got some guts now. Come on, let's continue. If you dare cause trouble for my master, I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you." Black Bull struck a pose, ready to attack.
