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

"Eh? Well, as far as I know, the Lingyuan Holy Sect is a sixth-grade sect, and its leader is a Golden Immortal." Chen Shanhe replied.

At this point, Ye Liuyun had a headache. The destruction of the branch sect would soon be noticed by the Lingyuan Holy Sect, and they would definitely send powerful experts to investigate. They might even be able to drag her out.

And it must be an even bigger problem. Surely the Lingyuan Holy Sect can't just suddenly be wiped out by some accident, can it?

"Sect Master, are you worried that the Lingyuan Holy Church will trace it back to us?" Chen Shanhe asked rhetorically.

Ye Liuyun nodded helplessly.

"Even if the destruction of the Thousand Spirits Sect has nothing to do with us, can you guarantee that they won't trace it back to me? Sigh! This is truly a case of small trouble gone, but big trouble is on its way." Ye Liuyun said, both amused and exasperated.

Chen Shanhe also fell silent. Logically speaking, such a possibility does exist. It may take some time, but once the Lingyuan Holy Sect begins to investigate, they will definitely find out.

"Sect Master, you don't need to worry. Even if the Lingyuan Holy Sect wants to cause trouble, they can't take action themselves. According to the Heavenly Rules, forces from different states cannot attack other forces across regions," Chen Shanhe said.

Even so, the problem cannot be completely solved, because the other party has many ways to circumvent this rule, such as allowing their cultivators to leave Lingxia Prefecture and join Yunze Prefecture, then they can take action.

Looking again, the Moon Goddess and the Eastern Emperor, although they had already gone out, had clearly heard Ye Liuyun and Chen Shanhe's conversation.

"The Spirit Origin Holy Sect? Senior Brother, should we deal with the Spirit Origin Holy Sect as well?" the Moon Goddess inquired.

But Donghuang shook his head.

"No need. There are many ways to avoid trouble that hasn't happened yet. Besides, if this little girl doesn't have any sense of crisis, how can we uncover more secrets from her? In short, we can help, but we can't help with everything," Donghuang replied.

The Moon Goddess understood. The two of them made a symbolic trip to the Thousand Spirits Sect. They already knew about the situation there, and the Thousand Spirits Sect leader was secretly killed by the Eastern Emperor yesterday.

Others might fear karmic burdens, but she wasn't. Besides, the Thousand Spirits Cult Leader wasn't a good person; he was burdened with karmic burdens that could erupt at any moment. It could only be said that last night was the time for him to settle his karmic debts.

The Thousand Spirits Sect, relying on the Spirit Origin Holy Sect, has killed countless innocent cultivators, and all of them were before the restrictions were lifted.

Logically speaking, Donghuang did not directly take action; he merely allowed the Heavenly Dao to settle this guy's karmic debts, so in the end, he was burned to death by karmic fire.

He died a worthy death.

As for the two Heavenly Immortal experts, it was Donghuang who gave them a hint, causing them to suddenly develop an intolerable rage towards the Thousand Spirits Sect.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Heavenly Emperor of the Eastern Heaven Realm. With a single thought or word, he can bring about the destruction of an immortal sect. With him and the Moon Goddess around, Ye Liuyun is not afraid even when facing the Jade Emperor.

As the Heavenly Emperor, Donghuang can be willful to some extent, but she cannot go too far, because if she does not act within the rules of the Immortal Realm, she will easily incur the displeasure of the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao in the Immortal Realm is also divided into major and minor. The Heavenly Dao of the Five Great Heavenly Realms belongs to the minor Heavenly Dao. The minor Heavenly Dao has little power over the Heavenly Emperor, but if the Heavenly Emperor goes too far and exceeds his authority, he may awaken the major Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm or the general Heavenly Dao of all the heavens and myriad realms.

As long as one does not go beyond this world, the Heavenly Emperor is still within the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao. Only the Heavenly Venerable is completely free from the Heavenly Dao's control over the Pangu Great World. In other words, if the Heavenly Venerable acts willfully, the Pangu Great World has no power to resist.

Furthermore, even the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm is not the ultimate Heavenly Dao; the Heavenly Dao of the Pangu Great World is the true will of this world.

However, the Great Heavenly Dao usually does not appear, but once it does, it means that a great change has occurred in the Pangu Great World.

When the Thousand Spirits Sect was destroyed, Zhou Bao, who was investigating Ye Liuyun's whereabouts in Luofan City at the time, was terrified and immediately hid.

His former subordinates are now gathered together to discuss what's to come.

"Manager Zhou, what should we do? This is too sudden. What should we do? Should we continue to carry out our mission within the sect?" someone asked.

The weekly report was pacing back and forth in front of everyone, terrified. Without the sect as their backing, they were no longer as arrogant as before.

"On a mission? Mission my ass. If it was done by hostile forces, their people would be searching for us everywhere right now. If we are discovered, we might end up like headquarters. Let's all disperse and go our separate ways." Zhou Bao dismissed the group without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qiuxia and the others were both excited and worried. They were excited because if Zhou Bao disbanded them, he would most likely remove the restrictions on them, and they would be free. However, if Zhou Bao only disbanded them but did not remove the restrictions, they would still be subject to Zhou Bao for the rest of their lives.

"Then, Steward Zhou, what should we do about the restrictions on our bodies?" a female cultivator asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Bao immediately gave a cold laugh.

"What should I do? Heh, I only disbanded you, I didn't say I would lift your restriction. Over the years, there must have been some grudges between us. If I lift it, what if you take the opportunity to attack me? Don't take me for a fool. Don't worry, as long as we don't meet again in the future, this restriction will be useless." Zhou Bao chuckled and then left.

Only a group of men and women were left standing there in a daze.

After Zhou Bao had walked away, they began to curse him indignantly.

"That damned fatso! Before, because of the Thousand Spirits Sect, we had no choice but to obey his orders and be humiliated by him at will. Now that the Thousand Spirits Sect is gone, he still won't let us go. If he doesn't lift our restrictions, what use will it be if we cultivate to become Celestial Immortals in the future? We'll still be his slaves!" Xue Qiuxia said angrily.

“Yes, the Thousand Spirits Sect is gone, the Thousand Spirits Merchant Guild is gone, and he still wants to bully us. It’s outrageous! What should we do? Are we just going to be controlled by him for the rest of our lives?” another man said.

The crowd looked at each other, and soon Xue Qiuxia came up with a solution.

"Gentlemen, there is a way. Are you willing to take a gamble? If we fail, the worst that can happen is death. For people like us, if we don't break the restrictions in our bodies, we might as well be dead," Xue Qiuxia said with a serious expression.

When everyone heard Xue Qiuxia say this, they quickly moved closer to listen to her explain her solution.

Their method was that some people would find reasons to stay by Zhou Bao's side, while others would try to leak Zhou Bao's identity and whereabouts. The Thousand Spirits Sect had many enemies, and if they knew that Zhou Bao was a formal disciple of the Thousand Spirits Sect, they would definitely not let Zhou Bao go.

“Okay, let’s do it this way. But who will monitor Zhou Bao? If we men go, I’m afraid it won’t be very effective and it might arouse his suspicion,” one of the male cultivators said.

There was no other choice in this matter.

Xue Qiuxia bit her lip, then looked at the other female cultivators who had been harmed by Zhou Bao.

"Sisters, if we want to get rid of this fatso completely, we'll just have to be patient a little longer," Xue Qiuxia said.

After thinking for a while, the female monks all nodded.

They are currently divided into two groups: the female cultivators monitor Zhou Bao and relay information to the male cultivators, while the male cultivators, upon receiving the information, spread the word about Zhou Bao's whereabouts.

Looking at Zhou Bao, he has already left Luofan City and plans to leave Yunze Prefecture for other outlying prefectures. There's no other way; Yunze Prefecture is no longer a safe place for him.

But as he was flying, someone suddenly called out to him from behind.

"Manager Zhou, wait for us."

Upon hearing the sound, Manager Zhou immediately looked behind him. When he saw several female cultivators from the Thousand Spirits Merchant Guild chasing after him, he immediately found a place to stop.

These women were essentially his playthings, and with the restrictions placed on him, Zhou Bao was definitely not afraid of them at all.

"What are you guys up to?" Zhou Bao asked, squinting.

One of the female cultivators who had previously been close to Zhou Bao immediately approached him with a charming smile, wrapped her arms around his neck, and Zhou Bao naturally picked her up.

“Oh dear, Steward Zhou, oh no, my husband, we sisters have served you so much over the years, we even gave you our first time. You are our man, where else can we go if we leave you? Besides, you won’t lift the restrictions on us. We sisters have discussed it and decided to follow you, wherever you go, we will go.” The female cultivator said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Bao immediately glanced at the other female cultivators.

This guy, being assigned to be in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, is definitely not an idiot. His first reaction must have been to wonder what other thoughts these women might have.

Seeing that Zhou Bao remained silent, the crowd guessed that he was suspicious of their true intentions. So they all surrounded Zhou Bao, clinging to him and acting coquettishly. Even Xue Qiuxia, who had always hated Zhou Bao to the core, did the same.

They must gain Zhou Bao's trust and stay by his side.

“Yes, you are our husband, and we are all your wives and concubines. Now that the Thousand Spirits Sect is gone, why don’t we find a new place to settle down?” another woman said.

Zhou Bao was surrounded by women on both sides.

“I know very well that although the items in the Chamber of Commerce’s treasury are gone, the items on the Mountain Ghost’s display stand are all in your hands, my lord. You haven’t handed them over. It’s definitely better for us to follow you than to go our separate ways.”

These words immediately dispelled Zhou Bao's doubts.

“Alright, alright, then let’s find a new place and start over. As long as you follow me, I guarantee you’ll have a better life in the future,” Zhou Bao laughed heartily.

And so he led Xue Qiuxia and the others away in a certain direction.

As for the Longevity Sect, the crisis can be said to have been resolved, and Donghuang and Yueshen returned soon afterward.

Now that the crisis has been resolved, Ye Liuyun must continue to develop the Longevity Sect. First of all, the medicinal fields outside the sect must be developed. However, developing medicinal fields requires a lot of things. It is difficult to make medicinal herbs grow quickly using only ordinary land in the Immortal Realm.

This requires celestial soil, which is made by combining various materials. It also requires setting up a gathering array in the medicinal field area to gather the celestial energy between heaven and earth.

All of this requires money, and Ye Liuyun is extremely busy. Currently, the Changsheng Sect has no other source of income and can only rely on the things that Ye Liuyun snatched from the Qianling Chamber of Commerce.

By the way, to reassure the cultivators who joined the Longevity Sect, Ye Liuyun specially invited Wen Qin over to prove that the Longevity Sect was indeed founded by Wen Qin.

Wen Qin wasn't completely a hands-off manager. She couldn't participate in the construction of the Longevity Sect, but contributing money was no problem. She also knew that Ye Liuyun was definitely short of money at the moment.

This time she brought several million immortal crystals. In addition to her merits, she also receives a reward of three million immortal crystals every month, which is many times higher than her previous status as a merit fairy.

They are like heaven and earth.

Wen Qin also promised to give Ye Liuyun at least one million immortal crystals every month for the construction of the Longevity Sect, but there was no way to give more than that, and Ye Liuyun would have to find a way to give the rest himself.

A month later, Ye Liuyun finally finished refining all the Immortal Essence Pills for everyone, and even produced a large number of extra Immortal Essence Pills.

"Ah! I'm exhausted. I've never been this tired before." Ye Liuyun walked out of her room looking tired. After she came out, she twisted her waist and neck to stretch and then let out a sigh of relief.

Using her sect leader privileges, she teleported to the mountain gate and glanced at the disciples working around it. They looked like farmers, having already cultivated many fields.

"Sect Master." The guards at the gate bowed respectfully upon seeing Ye Liuyun arrive.

They've been with the Longevity Sect for over a month now. Even if there were any unpleasant things before, they now need to follow the rules. Besides, apart from the issue of cultivation techniques, Ye Liuyun hasn't treated them unfairly at all.

"Well, now our Longevity Sect can move on to the next stage. Don't worry, as I said, everything must be done step by step. Next, I will find a way to solve the problem of cultivation techniques," Ye Liuyun said.

"Sect Master, we didn't believe you before because you were indeed hard to trust. But after a month, you've basically accomplished everything you said. We have confidence in this sect again. Speaking of which, we're all founding elders." The formal disciple said with a smile.

Ye Liuyun chuckled.

"That's right. Don't think I tricked you into coming here. It's because if I hadn't tricked you, you definitely wouldn't have come in. So, tricking you into coming here was a last resort," Ye Liuyun said with his hands on his hips and a chuckle.

The two disciples looked at their sect leader, who had no airs or majesty whatsoever and exuded a lively and approachable aura, which greatly improved their impression of him.

However, the contrast between Ye Liuyun's formal attire and his personality is quite striking.

"Alright, you all continue to relax. I'm going to gather the elders to discuss other matters." Ye Liuyun left after saying this.

"Huh? Our sect leader is really something else. I've never seen a sect leader with such an eccentric and unconventional personality before." The two of them were both amused and exasperated.

A few minutes later, the six elders gathered in the sect's main hall.

"Gentlemen, I've almost finished refining the pills here, and it's time to move on to the next step. I'll probably have to trouble you all again for now," Ye Liuyun said earnestly.

Ye Liuyun's general idea was that she would go out and make money, a lot of money, and then come back to issue a mission, asking all the official members of the sect to go out and collect cultivation techniques. Collecting cultivation techniques would definitely be a troublesome matter, as there were no strong people's caves in the Immortal Realm, and even if there were some secret realms, they were not unclaimed.

Therefore, if they want to collect cultivation techniques, they can basically only approach other immortal sects, merchant guilds, or Heavenly Court institutions. Heavenly Court institutions only require merit and karmic obstacles, not immortal crystals, so it's quite difficult.

At this time, Chen Shanhe's usefulness became apparent again. During his years in the Immortal Realm, Chen Shanhe had traveled almost all over Yunze Prefecture and had a fairly good understanding of it. He said that collecting cultivation techniques in this way would be very slow. They needed to expand their scope. They couldn't go to the inner areas, but they could go to other outer prefectures. This way, it would definitely be much faster.

In short, as long as there's enough money, anything is negotiable.

After discussing it, Ye Liuyun and Liusu came to Luofan City together. There was no other way, as their cultivation level was not yet high enough to fly, so bringing Liusu along was the most appropriate thing to do.

The two changed their clothes again and entered Luofan City. Luofan City was already overcrowded again, because the recruitment of immortal sects from all over the country had ended, and only a few people could be selected.

Just as he was entering the city, Ye Liuyun suddenly glanced at the wanted poster at the city gate. The photo and identity information on the poster made Ye Liuyun a little puzzled, so he went up to the poster and took a look.

"Poison Fairy: A smuggler from the lower realm, with the cultivation level of an Earth Immortal, who poisoned numerous cultivators and Heavenly Soldiers in Nanyang Prefecture..."

Although Ye Liuyun didn't recognize the person in the photo, for some reason, the person's eyes felt very familiar to her, and they were even from an illegal immigrant. This made her think of her clone, Shi Youlan.

"Sister, you don't actually think that this Poison Fairy is your clone, Sister Youlan, do you?" Liusu could naturally see through Ye Liuyun's thoughts.

Ye Liuyun looked at the other wanted photos again. There might be other ascendants from the Immortal Realm on these photos. After all, it's only been three or four years since they were last seen. They haven't been in the Immortal Realm for very long, so it's normal for them to be wanted by the Immortal Realm.

With so many people, there must be some in the Eastern Heaven Realm, perhaps even right next to Ye Liuyun, but she just doesn't know it.

"Hmm, I've been separated from my clone for a long time, but judging from his personality, this seems like something she would do. I don't like killing, but that doesn't mean she does too. I just don't know where they are now. Let's go in," Ye Liuyun murmured.

Meanwhile, in a sacred mountain within the territory of Nanyang Prefecture, a bewitching woman dressed in a dark purple dress was moving through the woods, with several disciples of the immortal sects chasing after her on magical artifacts.

"You witch, you have nowhere to escape today! You poisoned so many disciples of our Li Huo Sect and killed Heavenly Soldiers. There will be no place for you in the Eastern Heaven Realm!" A young man in yellow robes formed hand seals, and beams of golden light shot out from a Divine Sword of Earth Immortal rank above his head, blasting down towards the spot where the woman in purple robes had fled.

The woman in purple was agile, dodging and mocking her opponent.

"Tch! So what? You disciples of the Li Huo Sect brought this upon yourselves. Don't blame me," the woman in purple sneered.

This woman with a sinister appearance is actually Shi Youlan. After she and the Immortal Realm ascended to the Immortal Realm, she was teleported to Yunze Prefecture in the Eastern Heaven Realm. In recent years, she has been hiding and fighting with other cultivators for resources.

He currently resides in Jinqiu Ridge in Nanyang Prefecture, a place rich in spiritual energy where many medicinal herbs and other materials grow.

Shi Youlan possessed Ye Liuyun's alchemy skills, and she was even more arrogant than Ye Liuyun. She would never work for others. After learning about the situation in the Immortal Realm, she used her luck and magical treasures to exchange for a considerable amount of things.

However, Shi Youlan's possessions were the exact opposite of Ye Liuyun's. Her possessions were all mixed with karmic obstacles. After exchanging items in a city in Nanyang Prefecture, she was soon questioned about her identity by the heavenly soldiers in that city.

Because it happened during the period when they violently ascended to the Immortal Realm, the Five Great Heavenly Realms conducted very strict searches during that time. If she was thoroughly investigated, they would definitely find out that she was an illegal immigrant, so she continued to resist using poison pills.

She never expected her poison pill to be so powerful, actually killing those heavenly soldiers. Killing heavenly soldiers naturally meant she would be wanted by the Heavenly Court.

She almost never dared to enter the city with her true face again, constantly changing her appearance and hiding in the Golden Autumn Ridge and other sacred mountains to practice martial arts and refine medicine.

However, in Jinqiu Ridge, she had to face trouble from other immortal cultivators. After all, resources were limited and would inevitably be contested. Over time, Shi Youlan killed more and more enemies, and the troubles she attracted also kept escalating.

It can be said that all the immortal sects and the Heavenly Court in Nanyang Prefecture are now after her.

However, Shi Youlan didn't care at all. She was only worried about other things. After all, most of the people who ascended to the heavens did not have the same conditions as her.

She is able to survive on her own because she is special.
