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

“Miss Ye, I never expected that you, who look so harmless, would be so ruthless when it comes to swindling people. Yes, your pills have opened our immortal meridians, but we still can’t do without immortal techniques. Without suitable immortal techniques, we can’t break through to higher realms. Let me ask you, does our Longevity Sect have any immortal techniques suitable for us to cultivate?” a female cultivator questioned.

These words immediately embarrassed Ye Liuyun.

"This, this, is definitely not available for the time being, but I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, these things will be available in the future," Ye Liuyun said.

That's utter nonsense.

"Alright, so it turns out that if we join the Longevity Sect, we have to get everything ourselves. Isn't that just getting something for nothing? Miss Ye, Sect Leader Ye, this is too unreliable. I want to quit," someone shouted.

One person shouted, and immediately several others shouted as well.

Ye Liuyun stopped pretending with them.

"That won't do. Once you're in the Longevity Sect, there's no way out. You can't leave once you're in. You should have all seen the words at the entrance: 'Those who believe in me will live forever.' Since you've believed in me and joined, you have no choice but to believe in me unconditionally." Ye Liuyun revealed his true colors.

When did Ye Liuyun ever grant others the right to consent? It seems she never did.

But many of these people turned around and prepared to leave the Longevity Sect.

"Tch, we're leaving, can you stop us? Fellow Daoists, let's go." Someone said, taking the lead.

Ye Liuyun and the others exchanged glances. They did not stop them, but let them leave. However, just as they were about to leave the mountain range, they bumped into an invisible barrier.

"Oh no, there's a formation blocking our way!" a female cultivator cried out in distress.

The group quickly attempted to attack the formation, and the final conclusion was that with their current strength, they were simply unable to break through it.

"Hey! Sect Leader Ye, are you trying to force us to stay? You can't force a melon to ripen. Why don't you, the Longevity Sect, find partners who are willing to fight alongside you?" a burly young man said.

Ye Liuyun, Donghuang, and the others appeared on the steps.

"You think you can just walk away after taking my pills without paying anything in return? There's no such thing as a free lunch. You should all understand that. Don't talk about regretting it now. You're already disciples of the Longevity Sect. You can't leave here without my permission," Ye Liuyun reminded him.

These people were suddenly at their wits' end.

"Sect Master, why waste words with them? They were recruited by my sister and me, so we'll give them their first lesson." Donghuang and Yueshen said, then walked towards the crowd with ill intent.

Ye Liuyun did not stop them, but stood there with Liusu, Mengdie, and Ao Beichen and watched.

The two of them did not join the others in resisting Ye Liuyun. Because they had arrived earlier and talked more with Ye Liuyun and the others, they did not immediately express their opinions, even if they had them. They knew very well that it was pointless to get emotional at this time, and it was better to see how things went first.

"What are you two trying to do?" A blue-clad female cultivator, Moon Goddess, and Eastern Emperor approached and immediately questioned each other with furrowed brows.

Donghuang ignored the female cultivator and whispered to the Moon Goddess.

"I'll deal with the male cultivators, you deal with the female cultivators."

The Moon Goddess nodded with a smile.

After saying this, the two of them appeared in front of the two cultivators closest to them in a flash and attacked them without any politeness.

Before either of the cultivators could react, they were punched and sent flying backward.

More than once, just as the others were about to resist, a golden flame emanated from Donghuang's body, and a cold light burst forth from Yueshen's expression. The two forces merged to produce an extremely powerful energy explosion and impact. Before the twenty-one cultivators could even resist, they were engulfed by this power.

"Ah..." Then, screams of agony rang out from within the light.

After the energy dissipated, a group of unconscious cultivators lay on the ground. The two hadn't held back, but they hadn't killed them.

"Huh? This, this is so strong?" Ye Liuyun and the others were startled.

They never expected that these two sisters were so capable, which made Ye Liuyun even more convinced of his guess that the two here were someone of great importance.

As for Mengdie and Ao Beichen, they were also stunned. The power that Donghuang and Yueshen displayed was only at the Earth Immortal Realm, but they were able to easily kill everyone. This showed that the two were different from them and were truly capable.

"Alright, the repairs are complete. Sect Master, what should we do with them?" Donghuang asked calmly.

Ye Liuyun gave a wicked smile.

"Ignore them. Let them wake up tomorrow. Once they're awake, ask them if they're willing to run the Longevity Sect together. If they're not, give them another beating until they are," Ye Liuyun replied.

The two nodded, and then in a flash, they flew to Ye Liuyun's side.

"Hey, ladies, I tricked you two too, aren't you angry?" Ye Liuyun chuckled.

Donghuang looked unconvinced.

"That's not necessarily true. It's not impossible that the two of us might have our eyes on the Changsheng Sect, which is in dire need of rebuilding," Donghuang said with a smile.

Ye Liuyun was a little confused about what the other person meant by those words.

But she was too lazy to think about it too much. She knew that no one else would come to ask to become her apprentice today. She said goodbye and went back to refine the Immortal Essence Pill.

Mengdie and Ao Beichen's faces twitched violently as they looked at the people lying haphazardly at the gate. Luckily, they hadn't joined them; otherwise, they probably would have ended up lying there too.

"What? Is it really appropriate to just leave them lying at the mountain gate? If someone comes to become an apprentice tomorrow and sees this, will they still dare to join the Longevity Sect?" Mengdie asked timidly.

Donghuang and Yueshen thought for a moment, then simultaneously released their immortal power, raised their hands and grabbed those who had fainted, throwing them all onto the plaza above the steps.

"That's settled then. Let's keep waiting. According to my count, there should be at least a hundred or so people." After saying that, Donghuang sat down on the steps with Yueshen.

When Black Bull and the others heard this, they were startled. They had not recruited so many people, and the two of them had recruited rather unusual people.

"Sigh! Oh well, let's just consider it as going back to when I was a disciple." Ao Beichen looked at the people lying haphazardly behind him and sighed inwardly.

Ye Liuyun's refining of Immortal Essence Pills improved again today, increasing from two to three pills, and his speed also increased by a few seconds. At this rate, it is estimated that he will be able to restore his efficiency in refining medicine in the lower realm in another ten days to half a month.

Another day passed, and on the second day, the unconscious cultivators gradually woke up in the early morning.

"Ouch!" Cries of pain rang out.

Liu Su and the others then turned to look at the group of people who were shakily getting up from the ground.

“They’re awake. Let’s go ask them again if they still want to leave the Longevity Sect,” Liu Su said with a smile.

As they spoke, the group approached them.

"Everyone, the sect leader is asking if you still want to leave," Liu Su asked directly.

Upon hearing this, many people instinctively wanted to say, "Of course," but before they could utter a word, they sensed a murderous aura that made them stiffen. Everyone cautiously looked at Donghuang and Yueshen.

The Eastern Emperor stared at them coldly, while the Moon Goddess looked at them with a smile. Their gazes made them feel uneasy, since the two of them had easily dealt with them yesterday.

They're not spineless cowards; only spineless cowards enjoy getting beaten up.

Having learned from yesterday's lesson, they understand their situation. Leaving is impossible, so they might as well cooperate obediently. Perhaps what Ye Liuyun said is true?

"Eh? Never mind, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. We've only been in the Immortal Realm for a short time and haven't yet mastered its power. Gentlemen, I'll remember yesterday's lesson. Once we have the cultivation techniques, we'll certainly demand an explanation from you two ladies," a male cultivator said helplessly.

The rest of the people also expressed their intention to stay in the Changsheng Sect and stopped talking about leaving.

"Haha, everyone, don't worry, my sister always keeps her word. Once the sect has finished recruiting disciples, she will definitely give you all a big surprise. The disciples' quarters are on the west side, there are many pavilions there, you can choose your preferred accommodations. There should be some new disciples joining today, so we won't lead the way," Liu Su said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators all shook their heads and sighed.

"Oh no! We've fallen into the tiger's den. What will we do now?"

But despite their complaints and sighs, all they could do next was get back to what they were doing and familiarize themselves with the power that had just been unsealed yesterday. They felt that if they hadn't been too busy to familiarize themselves with the power within them yesterday, they might not have been so easily defeated by Donghuang and Yueshen that night.

But what would they think if they knew that the strongest team from the Eastern Heaven Realm was beating them up today?

After Liusu dismissed Mengdie and the others, the four of them returned to the mountain gate to await the cultivators who would be becoming their disciples that day.

However, the person who arrived today was quite special. A female cultivator dressed in light green landed from the Heavenly Ear General in a location far away from the Longevity Sect. Upon closer inspection, wasn't this Dugu Tianxiang?

She actually went to the Longevity Sect.

"Is this the Longevity Sect? What does His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor mean by sending me here? Could it be that the person who refined the elixir is here? Let me see what's so special about this place." Dugu Tianxiang immediately released her divine sense, covering the Longevity Sect.

She naturally saw the four people with tassels sitting at the door.

“Phoenix and Qilin? Such a small ninth-grade sect actually has two auspicious divine beasts? And they are not ordinary divine beasts. White Phoenix and Black Qilin? Tsk tsk, interesting. Hey, these two are so strange. I can’t figure them out.” Dugu Tianxiang’s attention was quickly drawn to Donghuang and Yueshen.

At this moment, Donghuang and Yueshen were definitely not from the Heavenly Court. Dugu Tianxiang could not see through their identities; she only felt that the two were shrouded in mystery.

She stared at the two of them for a while, then her gaze went deeper and she saw Ye Liuyun refining medicine in the main hall.

"An alchemist? This technique, yes, yes, it's Sister Lin's alchemy technique. I'm sure I'm not mistaken. But what kind of pill is this? It looks familiar. Oh, the pill His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor gave me yesterday, it's this kind of pill. Let me take a closer look." Dugu Tianxiang said, staring intently at Ye Liuyun.

Alchemists like Dugu Tianxiang have reached their limit, at least in the realm of medicine. She has been trying to find a way to break through, but the problem is, she really doesn't have a good way. However, after seeing the Immortal Essence Pill refined by Ye Liuyun, she felt that hope had returned.

Ye Liuyun's pill was permeated with the power of a law, and it was a very special law.

She watched for a while, and soon saw three pills roll out of Ye Liuyun's furnace.

"Yes, it's one set of herbs and three pills. But how are these pills fused together? I don't understand. They're just ordinary herbs, so why are they fused into such pills? What's going on?" Dugu Tianxiang couldn't understand.

Just then, another person came to seek apprenticeship. However, the first person to arrive today was not recruited by Donghuang and Yueshen, but by Ye Liuyun. It was that very old man. Luofan City was very close to this place, only a few dozen miles away. This old man came riding on an old divine beast.

This mythical beast was probably his mount when he ascended to the immortal realm; it was a thunder dragon.

The Thunder Dragon Beast had a dragon-like head and a tiger-like body, making it very majestic. However, it was extremely thin at this moment and looked like it was about to die.

The master and servant were practically each other's only support.

"Master, we've arrived, we've arrived at the Longevity Sect, the Longevity Sect is just ahead," the Thunder Dragon Beast said breathlessly.

The old man patted his old friend's head.

In fact, the Thunder Dragon Beast could have easily left the old man and sought its own opportunities back then, but it did not leave. It preferred to depend on its master rather than abandon the old man to seek its own opportunities.

"Alas! I've dragged you down. I don't know if this Longevity Sect can really change my fate. But it doesn't matter anyway, I won't live much longer." The old man sighed.

The Thunder Dragon Beast swayed and dragged the old man to the main gate of the Longevity Sect. After that, he was probably too tired and collapsed.

This scene caught the attention of Liu Su and the others, leaving them quite impressed.

"Who recruited this old man?" Black Bull asked suspiciously.

Liu Su and Donghuang Yueshen shook their heads at the same time. If they didn't recruit him, then it must have been Ye Liuyun who recruited him.

"Old friend, you should rest for a while. I'll go ask." The old man glanced at the Thunder Dragon Beast, then leaned on his cane and swayed as he walked over.

When the old man arrived at the door, he saw Donghuang and the others standing there.

But he only glanced at it, then raised his hand and bowed to the Changsheng Sect.

"Chen Shanhe from Luofan City has come to seek apprenticeship, hoping that the Changsheng Sect can give this disciple a chance." After saying this, the old man knelt down and performed the apprenticeship ceremony to the Changsheng Sect.

Liu Su and the others quickly came out.

“Senior, please rise. Our Longevity Sect only seeks those with a destined connection. Since you have come, you are one of those destined. From this moment on, you are a disciple of our Longevity Sect,” Liu Su said hastily.

The old man was taken aback, then glanced at the sentence on the gate. He recognized the sentence very well, so he was sure he hadn't come to the wrong place.

"It seems that what that old sister said was true. Thank you for taking me in, Immortal Sect. By the way, can my mount also join the Longevity Sect?" the old man asked happily.

Liu Su nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll write down your name right away." Liu Su quickly took out the token and engraved the old man's name on it.

After his name was engraved, the old man successfully became a disciple of the Longevity Sect.

Ye Liuyun had just finished refining the pills and arrived at the mountain gate. As soon as he arrived, he saw Liusu helping an old man dressed in a frail, strange beast as he came up.

"Oh, it's that old man. I didn't expect him to actually come." Ye Liuyun smiled.

Ye Liuyun strolled up.

"Hehe, senior, I didn't expect you to actually come." Ye Liuyun greeted him.

The old man stared at Ye Liuyun for a moment, then looked at Liusu.

"Senior, this is Ye Liuyun, the sect leader of our Longevity Sect. You should be the one she recruited," Liusu introduced.

Ye Liuyun watched the old man chuckle incessantly.

But the old man was no ordinary person after all, and he quickly understood what was going on.

"Oh, so that old lady from the day before yesterday was actually you, Sect Master, in disguise. No wonder," the old man chuckled.

Ye Liuyun nodded; she wouldn't waste any more time.

"Senior, this pill is called the Immortal Essence Pill. It can open your immortal meridians, allowing you to absorb the power of heaven and earth and use your strength. After taking this pill, you should become much younger." Ye Liuyun presented the Immortal Essence Pill to the old man.

Upon hearing that the elixir had such effects, the old man considered it to be a true elixir of immortality.

"This, this is for me, no, no, sect master, I cannot accept a gift without merit, disciple, I..." The old man really wanted it, but reason told him that he could not accept it so directly.

"Haha, everyone gets one; it's a welcome gift," Ye Liuyun explained.

Upon hearing this, the old man shakily accepted the pill, but just as he was about to eat it, he instinctively stopped and looked at his old companion.

The old thunder dragon beast's eyes were filled with joy, because its master, at the end of his life, had actually encountered such a destined person as Ye Liuyun, so it was naturally happy.
