However, it was clear that Ye Liuyun hardly needed to protect the pills. She only needed to stabilize the flames inside the furnace to ensure that the power of the heavenly tribulation would not destroy her pills.

"Damn, this energy is pretty intense. We need to keep it steady; we can't afford to fail." Ye Liuyun didn't have time to check the situation outside.

Meanwhile, the immortal cultivators outside were helpless in the face of this natural disaster. They dared not approach and could only wait for the tornado to dissipate on its own.

"This doesn't seem like a treasure appearing in the world, it looks more like some kind of heavenly tribulation. Look, there seem to be people in that tornado." A cultivator spotted Yuan Gongfeng and the others dancing in the tornado.

However, they had mostly lost consciousness.

Only the Heavenly General, the Eastern Emperor, and the Moon Goddess present knew that this calamity was actually caused by someone refining medicine.

The reason the heavenly general didn't retreat was because he wanted to see what kind of extraordinary elixir the alchemist in the mountains had concocted that could attract heavenly calamity.

Most importantly, he saw that the other party's cultivation level was not high; she had clearly just opened her immortal meridians and was only at the level of a god. If she could obtain the pills refined by the other party, that would be a great opportunity.

Although he is a heavenly general, he only needs merit and doesn't need anything else, but that doesn't mean that elixirs are useless.

As time slowly passed, Ye Liuyun finally succeeded in completing his elixir.

As the trembling alchemy furnace stopped shaking, a pale golden pill rolled out of it.

"Done." Ye Liuyun chuckled as he looked at the pill in his hand.

But her smile froze instantly before it could fully open, because her divine sense detected many cultivators stronger than herself locking onto her.

This is not good news for Ye Liuyun.

"Damn it, it must be because I made too much noise while refining medicine that I attracted the cultivators from Luofan City. What should I do?" Ye Liuyun was troubled.

Although many cultivators from outside the Thousand Spirits Merchant Guild have come, the Thousand Spirits Merchant Guild certainly won't be able to do anything to her. But what if these newcomers are eyeing her pills?

"I miscalculated. I can't continue refining it. It's better to take this opportunity to run away." Ye Liuyun decided to stop refining the medicine and get further away from Luofan City.

So he packed up his belongings, used the terrain pill again, and slipped away.

Those cultivators who had been keeping an eye on Ye Liuyun immediately gave chase when they saw that he dared to use the Earth Escape Technique.

However, the only one who could truly lock onto Ye Liuyun was that Heavenly General; the others could only sense that Ye Liuyun's aura had suddenly disappeared.

When Tianjiang saw that Ye Liuyun was trying to escape, he immediately took to the clouds and chased after him, because he felt that there was something wrong with Ye Liuyun.

"She ran away? Who is this woman? Her cultivation level isn't high, yet she can use the Earth Escape Technique?" someone asked doubtfully.

"Look, the Heavenly General has caught up!" someone pointed at the Heavenly General.

Those cultivators who had originally wanted to see what kind of pills Ye Liuyun had refined, saw that Tian Jiang had caught up with them, and they immediately lost their desire to compete. It could be said that they had waited here for nothing.

"That's it, the heavens have intervened. There's nothing for us to do now. Let's wash up and go to sleep." Many people left with these words.

Even if a celestial being were to intervene, and there were indeed opportunities, they would inevitably have nothing to do with them.

After the Heavenly General gave chase, he brought Heavenly Soldiers who also gave chase immediately. Although they could not pinpoint Ye Liuyun's location, they only needed to follow the Heavenly General.

"Hmm? A celestial general from Heaven, what's he doing chasing after this little girl?" Donghuang asked Ye Liuyun, puzzled as he watched the celestial general chasing after a star.

In Donghuang's mind, these celestial generals who guard various places only need to take care of their own affairs, and they shouldn't be involved in things like this.

"Senior brother, why don't we follow her and see what kind of background this girl has?" the Moon Goddess suggested.

"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. I also want to know how she can so easily control the power of heaven and earth just by refining medicine." Donghuang also felt that the person in front of her might be the destined person her master had mentioned.

The cultivation levels of Donghuang and the others have reached the pinnacle of the Pangu Great World. If they want to advance further, they must step out of this world.

But in reality, even if they were to transcend this realm, they would still be a long way from reaching the level of a Celestial Venerable.

You must understand that the current Immortal Realm was created by the Celestial Venerable to provide a place for these immortals to live in, and it is not the realm where the Celestial Venerable resides. The places where these Celestial Venerables reside are all outside the Heavenly Realm, which is outside the Pangu Great World.

However, since Donghuang and the others were beings born from the Pangu Great World, they would never be able to transcend this realm without the key to leave this world.

This transcendence refers to the realm above the Immortal Emperor realm, and the Heavenly Venerable has certainly already transcended it, but it's hard to say which stage he has reached.

Ye Liuyun fled at top speed, but she also noticed that someone was following her from above.

"A heavenly general? Why is he following me? Does he know I'm the one who sold pills this morning? Impossible, I didn't even use my true form back then, and I ran away before he arrived. So, is he interested in the pills I refined?" After thinking for a while, Ye Liuyun made sure no one else was chasing after him, so he stopped his stealth and came to the ground.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun was no longer fleeing, the heavenly general soon stopped not far above her head.

"Lord Tianjiang, what brings you to follow me?" Ye Liuyun asked, bowing to Tianjiang.

After thinking for a moment, Tianjiang gave an answer.

“Young lady, I have no other intentions towards you. I’m just very curious about the pills you just refined. May I take a look?” Tianjiang replied calmly.

The general indeed showed no murderous intent, which meant he was only interested in the pill. But the question is, if the pill Ye Liuyun just refined was extremely effective, would he have ulterior motives?

Just as Ye Liuyun was about to say something, the heavenly soldiers arrived.

"My lord, should we capture this woman?" The heavenly soldier thought the heavenly general was going to arrest Ye Liuyun.

However, Tianjiang shook his head directly.

"She was merely refining medicine, which did not violate any heavenly rules, nor did it cause any disturbance or destruction in the city. There is no reason to arrest her. I was only acting out of curiosity as a cultivator about elixirs," the heavenly general replied.

Upon hearing this, the heavenly soldiers immediately abandoned their posture of being ready to attack at any moment.

"Can I say no?" Ye Liuyun asked after thinking for a moment.

When Tianjiang saw that Ye Liuyun was refusing him, his face clearly showed dissatisfaction.

"Is that so? Theoretically, you can refuse my request, but young lady, you are not a novice cultivator who has just entered the world of cultivation. You should know what the consequences are of refusing an elder's request," Tianjiang said calmly.

Ye Liuyun knew she had no way to defeat this heavenly general right now. A direct confrontation was out of the question, and she couldn't possibly refine medicine in public. After some thought, she decided to take out the pill she had just refined.

It's just a pill. Not every pill she refines has any particularly good effect. She can only gamble on the pill in front of her. The effect is average, and she doesn't even know what the effect of this pill is.

"Alright! Lord Heavenly General, this is the pill I just refined. But if I may be frank, this is a newly created pill, so I don't yet know its effects. If you like it, Lord Heavenly General, consider it a gift from your junior." Ye Liuyun reluctantly placed the pill in his palm and handed it to the Heavenly General.

When he saw Ye Liuyun say this, he put away his displeasure, then reached out and grabbed the pill into his hand.

"A newly created pill, no wonder it can trigger a pill tribulation. Let me see what's so special about this pill." The Heavenly General held it in his hand and examined it carefully, but the more he looked, the more strange his gaze became.

But how could anyone possibly see through Ye Liuyun's pills? Even the Heavenly General couldn't tell what medicinal herbs were used to refine them, which made him somewhat embarrassed.

He was certain that this pill was indeed the same one that Ye Liuyun had just refined in front of everyone; the pill was still warm.

“This, senior brother, this is bullying! They said they were just looking at it, but if the pill is effective, this little heavenly general will probably try to snatch it by force. This would damage the dignity of our Heavenly Court. Shouldn’t we do something about it?” said the Moon Goddess Statue of the Eastern Emperor, who was watching the situation from the shadows.

As a primordial being and the Heavenly Emperor of the Eastern Heavenly Realm, what she disliked most was the gods of the Heavenly Court using their status to do things that were not their proper duties.

"No rush. Let's see what this little general ultimately chooses. If he chooses to seize by force, I'll find a reason to demote him when we get back," said the Eastern Emperor.

He looked left and right for a long time, but was still completely confused.

"Miss, what kind of pill is this? I can't even tell what the ingredients are," the Heavenly General said, speechless.

Ye Liuyun gave an awkward smile.

"Lord Tianjiang, as I said, this pill is my original creation. I don't know what kind of pill it is yet. I need to spend some time studying it to find out," Ye Liuyun replied again.

After some thought, Tian Jiang casually tossed the pill to Ye Liuyun, ultimately deciding against forcibly taking it, since he didn't even know what the pill's effects were. If he snatched it, would Ye Liuyun dare to eat it?

"Alright, here you go. By the way, I noticed that there seemed to be quite a few immortals trapped by the heavenly tribulations caused by your pills at the place where you were refining medicine earlier. Do you know who they are?" the heavenly general asked again.

Based on his long experience serving as a celestial general in the mortal realm, those people must have something wrong with him.

Ye Liuyun did not intend to reveal the identities of those people, for a simple reason: saying too much about certain things could easily lead to speculation.

If she told Tianjiang that she had spent a lot of money buying many good things at the Qianling Merchant Guild, and that these people were black market merchants who came to rob her.

So the first question is, others can definitely tell that she is a cultivator who has only recently ascended to immortality, so where did she get so much money? In addition, Ye Liuyun is also an alchemist, and Luofan City was in such great turmoil this morning because someone bought pills.

The cultivators in the immortal realm are all seasoned veterans; with a little thought, they can connect these things together.

"Eh? Well, I don't know. Maybe it's because the noise I made while refining medicine was too loud, which attracted the cultivators." Ye Liuyun said with an embarrassed smile.

However, with just this one sentence, Ye Liuyun overlooked a problem: could others not recognize that the demon furnace she just used to refine medicine was a top-grade earth immortal magic weapon?

That day, he suddenly became displeased.

"Is that so? Little girl, do you think I'm a three-year-old? No matter how much you deceive me, the furnace you use to refine pills is a top-grade Earth Immortal level magic weapon. I think you must have recently ascended to the Immortal Realm. I ask you, where did you get the immortal crystals to buy such a magic weapon?" The Heavenly General narrowed his eyes.

Ye Liuyun's heart skipped a beat, and he knew he was in trouble.

While it's true that there's no such thing as money of unknown origin in the celestial realm, money of unknown origin is easy to speculate about.

An ordinary cultivator would never think of these things, but this was a deity who maintained the order of Luofan City, and investigating cases was also his duty.

"Damn, how could I forget that? Sigh, there are still too many flaws." Ye Liuyun had a headache.

On the other side, Donghuang and Yueshen looked puzzled after hearing the Heavenly General's question.

"Is there a problem with this? Is this little celestial general just looking for trouble?" the Moon Goddess asked doubtfully.

Although the Moon Goddess is the Empress of the Eastern Heavenly Court, she does not directly participate in the direct management of the Heavenly Court. In addition, as a primordial deity, she knows very little about these things, but the Eastern Emperor is certainly different.

"You, having spent so much time in the Heavenly Court, don't understand the situation at the bottom of the Immortal Realm. A mere Earth Immortal-level magic weapon is definitely just worthless junk in our eyes, but among the lower-level cultivators, it would probably cost at least tens of thousands of Immortal Crystals to buy. And a newly ascended cultivator couldn't possibly have that much money," Donghuang explained.

After hearing Donghuang's explanation, the Moon Goddess understood.

"Answer my question." The general's tone became sharp, because he sensed something was wrong with the woman in front of him. Ever since he observed Ye Liuyun refining medicine, he had been wondering if Ye Liuyun was related to the person who sold pills during the day.

This morning, an alchemist caused trouble in the city and was scolded by so many immortals. He's still angry.

That afternoon, an unknown alchemist suddenly appeared and caused trouble outside the city. They searched for four or five hours but couldn't find the pill sellers. However, according to his preliminary estimate, the seller had earned at least tens of thousands of immortal crystals.

"This? Lord Tianjiang, why are you being so aggressive? Is it wrong for me to have money?" Ye Liuyun retorted.

The heavens chuckled.

“It’s true that you have money, but if that money was earned in violation of the heavenly rules, then there’s a problem. This morning, three women of unknown identity were selling pills in the city. These pills have a very special effect; they can temporarily grant power to cultivators who haven’t opened their immortal meridians. Are you aware of this?” the Heavenly General asked in return.

Ye Liuyun's face twitched.

"Are you kidding me? How can you connect these things? Do you have God's perspective?" Ye Liuyun cursed under his breath.

"Ahem, Lord Heavenly General, I really don't know anything about this. I've been refining medicine outside the city. As for this money, I exchanged it from the Hall of Merit using the luck-based magic treasures I ascended to. If you have any questions, you can go to the Hall of Merit in the city and ask the Fairy of Merit." Ye Liuyun found another excuse.

But then the heavens laughed again.

"You mean Lord Wenqin of the Hall of Merit? Well, I'm sorry, Lord Wenqin has already been promoted to the position of a true god in the Heavenly Court and is no longer in the Hall of Merit in the mortal world, so there is no one to vouch for you. Why don't you come back with me? I'll go and ask those cultivators who were affected by the Pill Tribulation why they appeared at the place where you were refining medicine," the Heavenly General said.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback again.

"Damn, what a coincidence! This woman moved too fast. She ascended to godhood so quickly. If I go back and confront her, all her previous statements will be lies. Wouldn't that be like admitting guilt?" Ye Liuyun was sweating profusely.

When Donghuang heard the name Wenqin, he was taken aback. His clone had just sealed a name named Wenqin, who happened to be from Yunze Prefecture and had previously been the Fairy of Merit.

"What a coincidence? This Wen Qin knows this little girl?" Donghuang was confused.

She increasingly felt that Ye Liuyun was somewhat strange.

There are some things Ye Liuyun absolutely cannot admit.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that. Anyway, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." Ye Liuyun shrugged.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's nonchalant attitude, Tianjiang decided to arrest him and take him back for investigation. He was furious about what happened during the day, and now he suspected everyone, let alone Ye Liuyun.

If this guy were on Earth, he'd definitely be a brilliant detective.

After saying that, Ye Liuyun suddenly disappeared underground again.

Seeing Ye Liuyun escape, Tian Jiang became even more certain of his thoughts, and this time he refused to reason with him.

"Grab her! She's definitely connected to those three women who caused the commotion during the day." Tian Jiang ordered his men to arrest her, and he himself immediately chased after Ye Liuyun.

While chasing, he also used his immortal power to attack the ground, trying to shake Ye Liuyun out.

When the celestial being made her move, the ground collapsed and mountains crumbled. Ye Liuyun was also in great pain because the ground in the celestial realm was very hard, and it got harder the deeper she went. She couldn't keep diving down indefinitely.

"Damn it, this is too much! You just wait, once I escape, I'll make sure you suffer a miserable fate in the mortal world!" Ye Liuyun was furious and embarrassed. She felt completely innocent. She hadn't done anything wrong from beginning to end. Even if those cultivators in the city were causing trouble, what did that have to do with her?

She's just a drug seller; how others use the drug is none of her business.

Ye Liuyun took a deep breath and reappeared on the ground. The general thought Ye Liuyun was about to surrender, but to everyone's surprise, Ye Liuyun suddenly flashed and disappeared from his original spot, reappearing hundreds of meters away.

"What? Shrinking the earth to an inch?" The general's expression changed drastically as he looked at Ye Liuyun, who had already appeared hundreds of meters away.

By the time he tried to give chase, Ye Liuyun had completely disappeared, and the heavenly generals and soldiers were forced to stop.

Shrinking the earth to an inch is no ordinary supernatural power in the immortal realm, as it is a technique that only Golden Immortals can master, and it also requires specific methods.

"So fast, sir! What should we do? Should we keep chasing?" Tianbing asked hurriedly, seeing that Ye Liuyun had already disappeared.

Tianjiang's face was gloomy.

"Chase? Can you catch up? This is outrageous! How can a mere deity possess so many tricks? It's too bizarre. Let's go back." The Heavenly General did not continue the pursuit.
