When this matter was mentioned, Lin Aoxue sighed.
"I didn't come to Yunzong to have fun, unlike you. In order to make you live more comfortably in Yunzong, I have to work harder at the Nanling event this time. But I will stay at your place today, but I guess we won't be able to meet again for a while." Lin Aoxue said.
Indeed, time is running out, with only a few months left until the Nanling event.
"I remember, didn't they say that anyone can participate in the Nanling event? I can participate too." Ye Liuyun walked up to Lin Aoxue, put his arm around Lin Aoxue's shoulders and said.
That was true, but Lin Aoxue had to tell Ye Liuyun some bad news.
"I have learned about the rules and requirements of the Nanling Festival in advance these few days. First of all, the Nanling Festival is actually a large-scale meeting for cultivators to compete. This meeting requires that no external force can be used. It also clearly stipulates that consumable magic weapons, external force formations, elixirs, talismans, and magic weapons that exceed one's own realm cannot be used." Lin Aoxue said seriously.
These words choked Ye Liuyun. In other words, if she wanted to participate, she would have to rely on real skills. However, her current physical strength was only at the Spirit Sea Realm, not even at the Spirit Pattern Realm. If she went to the Nanling Festival, where people at the Dao Palace Realm were numerous, she would have basically no hope of winning.
"Damn, there are so many restrictions. That means I can only rely on my own spells and fists and feet." Ye Liuyun felt a little toothache.
The two of them walked around the edge of the lake and chatted.
"What else? If everyone is like you and takes medicine during battle, then is it fair? What you said at the sect assessment meeting a few years ago can be said to be nonsense, but no one reacted at the time. The reason why a secondary profession is called a secondary profession is that it does not belong to the combat member organization. Restrictions and formations can be portrayed by releasing one's own power, so they can be used in battle." Lin Aoxue said.
Ye Liuyun pinched her nose awkwardly. She didn't think much about it at the time. She was just looking for a reason to make use of the elixir reasonably. Besides, her elixir was different from ordinary elixir.
There are very few alchemists in the cultivation world who can refine her unconventional elixir. The orthodox elixirs for cultivation can assist in cultivation, improve cultivation, break through realms, and increase lifespan. These are the true orthodox elixirs.
Things like increasing defense and improving attack power actually have substitutes, and that is talismans.
"Then if I try to improve my physical strength during this period of time, then won't I be able to participate? Who knows, maybe I will be noticed by the Supreme Induction Sect." Ye Liuyun said.
But Lin Aoxue still shook her head.
"I think you're thinking too simply. Let's not talk about whether Yunzong will allow you to go or not. Even if they let you go, there will definitely be three rules." Lin Aoxue said.
This is very possible. Yun Sect will never let Ye Liuyun leave Yun Sect. From the good treatment they give Ye Liuyun, we know that they want to treat Ye Liuyun as a Buddha and worship him in Yun Sect to restrain Lin Aoxue.
"That's true, but it's okay if we can go out and have fun. You can help me talk to them when the time comes." Ye Liuyun said, hugging Lin Aoxue's waist.
"Hey? Don't rub me. It feels weird." Lin Aoxue's face turned red because of Ye Liuyun's rogue look.
Ye Liuyun didn't care. There were only the two of them here, so she could do whatever she wanted. But then again, she seemed to have a troublesome matter, so after thinking about it, she decided to talk to Ye Liuyun about it.
"Oh, by the way, there is a troublesome matter that I may need to tell you about." Ye Liuyun said again.
What she wanted to talk about, naturally, was the trouble caused by this residence.
Ye Liuyun gave a brief account of the matter, and after listening to it, Lin Aoxue didn't react much.
"Is that so? But this should be a very normal thing. This kind of preferential treatment that does not follow the normal procedures will be envied by other disciples in any sect. Let me tell you, although the cultivation of the disciples of the Yun Sect seems to be no lower than that of the elders of our Yunxia Sect, in fact, their mental state age is not much older, which is related to experience."
"So they basically have the mentality of young people. Only when they are in power and have constraints and restrictions will they mature. If I hadn't been in the library all the time, those important disciples would definitely come to trouble me." Lin Aoxue said.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight; if you want to reach the peak, you must endure the pain.
Favorable treatment also has a price, and becoming stronger also has a price. Lin Aoxue feels that this pressure is what Ye Liuyun needs. Although she cares about Ye Liuyun very much, she also hopes that Ye Liuyun will not slack off in his cultivation by relying on his immortal body.
As long as it doesn’t endanger lives and is normal competition, Lin Aoxue personally thinks there is no need to worry about it.
Looking at Lin Aoxue's calm expression, Ye Liuyun knew what Lin Aoxue was thinking. She really needed to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
"Oh, oh, I get it. Don't worry, I will definitely reach the physical strength of the Spirit Pattern Realm before the Nanling event." Ye Liuyun stated.
"That's good. Let's go back to the room. I'll give you an extra reward today." Lin Aoxue suddenly turned around and picked up Princess Ye Liuyun.
"Eh? Oh my god, that's too much. I was just about to pick you up, why did you take action first?" Ye Liuyun exclaimed.
But Lin Aoxue knew Ye Liuyun too well. When she noticed Ye Liuyun's hand touching her waist, she knew what this guy was going to do.
When dealing with Ye Liuyun, Lin Aoxue has always used both hard and soft tactics.
Although Ye Liuyun seemed to be very resistant, he was obviously half-hearted. To be honest, since becoming a woman, Ye Liuyun had really figured out how to flirt with his wife.
Anyway, in one word, just have fun, and the rest can be put aside. What's wrong with a little fun between husband and wife? Does anyone have any objections? Of course, no one has any objections, hehe!
With Lin Aoxue here today, Ye Liuyun definitely has no plans to refine medicine anymore, so the strange things happening in Yun Sect have stopped. After receiving the news, the disciples who had run away from the sect also returned to the sect one after another.
However, these two strange incidents also exposed major problems in the Yun Sect.
In fact, the top leaders of the Yun Sect have been holding frequent high-level talks during this period. The content of these talks is how to get the sect back to normal as soon as possible. The Yun Sect has already encountered a lot of trouble from outside, and the order cannot be disrupted by these trivial matters.
It's just that the top leaders have always disagreed, so the new sect regulations have never been implemented. However, this has caused a lot of chaos.
"Everyone, the relocation and assignment of the sect's gender-changed disciples cannot be delayed any longer. It has been delayed for almost a year, and you haven't made a decision yet?" Fang Mingyu asked everyone.
Fang Mingyu decided that they must come up with a plan today. There cannot be no progress at all. They must get this done before the Nanling event.
"I also feel that we really can't delay any longer. Let's make arrangements early while we still have time. The Hua Sect, a female-only sect, has already chosen to accept male disciples. Our Yun Sect can't be more troublesome than the Hua Sect, right?" Qin Huantian said.
Everyone saw that the Great Elder suddenly chose to stand on the side of the Sect Master. This time, it was basically impossible for them to drag it out any further.
"Let's do this. Based on the principle of minority obeying majority, let's vote by raising our hands. Those who agree to redistribute the disciples according to the existing genders, please raise your hands." Fang Mingyu said.
After saying that, Fang Mingyu raised his hand, and the first elder also raised his hand immediately. The second elder glanced at everyone, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand as well.
This time, many elders who had previously held opposing opinions also raised their hands, mainly because Qin Huantian suddenly changed his mind and supported Fang Mingyu.
In the end, only Huoyun Peak and Leiyun Peak, plus one-third of the elders, expressed opposition.
Why did they object? Because their two peaks had the most gender-changed disciples. If they were to be redistributed according to gender, the power of their two factions would surely decline, and they would definitely not agree to that.
As for other elders who opposed, it was because they themselves were unwilling to accept their new identities.
After all, after being women and men for so many years, if they are suddenly asked to change gender, it would definitely be difficult for them to choose.
---------------------------------
Don't ever think that this decision has no impact on them. As the elders of the sect, they must set an example for their disciples. Only if they voluntarily sit according to their current gender, will the disciples be willing to accept it.
"Two-thirds agree, one-third disagree. Based on the principle of minority obeying majority, the vote has been passed. Next, let's start the action. Fourth Elder in charge of all the male disciples in the sect, you lead the people to think about the transformation of female disciples into male disciples. Fifth Elder in charge of all the female disciples in the sect, you lead the people to think about the transformation of male disciples into female disciples."
"Also, Caiyun Peak has always only recruited female disciples, so the male disciples of Caiyun Peak must be reallocated. At the same time, other peaks must also assign equivalent female disciples to Caiyun Peak. No matter what you think in your hearts, you must pass this hurdle." Fang Mingyu issued a series of orders.
These requirements had been planned in advance, but had never been implemented. This time they were finally voted on, so they will definitely be implemented directly.
"I will obey the sect master's decree."
After the order was issued, those unwilling senior officials had no choice but to accept it and then go back to make arrangements. Instead of worrying about it here, it would be better to think about how to minimize the losses of their faction.
The requirement this time is equality. For example, if Caiyun Peak loses a core disciple, then other peaks must make up for it with a disciple of the corresponding level. Don't even think about replacing them with ordinary disciples.
This matter has nothing to do with Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue.
As the meeting ended.
An unquestionable command sounded suddenly above Yunzong.
"Order, within today, all disciples below the level of direct disciples who have changed their genders must go to the Disciple Management Office at the main peak of the sect and re-register their identities. There must be no mistakes."
As soon as this order came down, the entire Yun Sect was in an uproar again.
Everyone was an intelligent person and knew what this meant. Some were happy and some were worried, but they could only go to the main peak to register obediently, because this time the distribution would be redistributed by the main peak. Only in this way could it be fair. If the five peaks were to exchange among themselves, there would definitely be a lot of trouble.
The two people who were rolling on the mattress in Ye Liuyun's room in Bixia Valley naturally received the news from the sect, but it had nothing to do with them, so after taking a look at it, they put it aside.
A long line has formed at the main peak disciple management office.
The male and female disciples stood on each side.
"Name." The deacon in charge of the female disciples looked at the person in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
"To answer your question, my name is Gu Jianting," the female disciple replied.
The female deacon immediately looked through the sect's disciple list and quickly found Gu Jianting. She then used magic to erase the word "male" from the gender column on the list and replaced it with "female".
"Eh? Deacon, I, I don't want to be a woman." The young man's expression immediately froze when he saw that his gender column had been changed.
But this made the deacon unhappy.
"Woman, what's wrong? As a cultivator, do you still care about gender? Can't women attain enlightenment and become immortals?" The female deacon lectured in a stern tone.
"I." The disciple didn't know how to respond.
But the other party didn't care what she thought.
"I will temporarily change your name. If you feel that my change is not good enough, you can come to the Disciple Management Office to change it when you have time. You can be called Gu Ting for the time being." The female deacon did not give the other party time to think, and even changed her name, and then re-recorded the new appearance in front of her.
After it was done, they were directly incorporated into Caiyun Peak. Since Caiyun Peak had suffered the greatest losses at present, the basic number of people in the faction with the greatest losses should be replenished first.
"Report to Caiyun Peak." The deacon handed her a token.
The disciple sighed helplessly, then flew towards Caiyun Peak with the token.
However, this reaction was still relatively small. Some people reacted strongly and directly asked to withdraw from the Yun Sect. However, in the cultivation world, one cannot just come and go as one pleases.
You can quit Yun Sect if you want to. Yun Sect also has the right to take away everything you have learned in Yun Sect. Yun Sect has also made preparations in advance. If you want to quit Yun Sect because of changing your gender, you can do so by adding or subtracting the amount based on your past contributions to the sect.
What does it mean? First, your contribution to Yunzong will be deducted, and then you will be punished according to your contribution, because leaving the sect is equivalent to betrayal, and everything you have learned in Yunzong will be taken back. However, since you have also made contributions, you will be punished according to the size of your contributions.
But even if it is a discretionary punishment, few cultivators can accept it. For example, if you are at the third level of Dao Palace and you want to leave the sect, they will first look at your cultivation level when you joined the Yun Sect, and then compare your current cultivation level and your merits over the years. In the end, your cultivation level in Dao Palace may be reduced to the Wheel Sea level.
This is reasonable. You can't take advantage of the sect and then leave whenever you want. That would cause chaos in the cultivation world.
As a result, those disciples who wanted to quit the sect basically gave up the idea because the cost was too high.
With so many people in Yun Sect, one or two days is definitely not enough to completely allocate and resettle them. After the resettlement, they still need to be reshaped ideologically.
In the cultivation world, there is a saying that goes, if your thoughts are not clear, you can’t do anything.
Therefore, allocation and placement is only the simplest and most troublesome thing. You need to make these disciples who have changed their gender have an understanding of their new identities, and tell them what they can and cannot do.
Let’s take the simplest example. You used to be a male disciple, but now you are a female disciple. You can no longer mingle with male disciples as you did before. You need to tell them the seriousness of the consequences.
At the same time, gender awareness education should also be carried out.
In fact, there have been several incidents within the Yun Sect that Fang Mingyu could not tolerate.
Speaking of which, this matter is really ridiculous. About three months ago, there was a female disciple who changed from a male to a female. She and her former good friend drank spiritual wine and had sex with each other in the same bed.
If this was a real female disciple, Yun Zong would have to punish her severely, but because it was an accident, they didn't know what to say and couldn't deal with it. In the end, they could only give her a verbal education and then strictly prohibit this behavior.
Don’t think that this is just an isolated example. This kind of thing has happened to the Yun Sect more than a dozen times in the past year, not to mention other sects, which are sure to have had it too.
If you allow these disciples who have become women or men to continue to interact with their former same-sex partners in a same-sex manner, do you think there will be no trouble?
Obviously, the facts tell them that since there are cases, it means that this kind of thing is not impossible, even if the probability is one percent, it is not acceptable.
In this way, Yunzong's busy day passed.
The next day, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue walked out of their residence comfortably. They were satisfied with their married life yesterday.
"Oh, it feels so good. Aoxue, are you going back to Yunxiao Peak?" Lin Aoxue stretched her body with a relaxed look on her face and then asked.
"Well, this time you may stay until the Nanling event begins. You can take care of yourself while I'm away. Just don't reveal your special abilities." This was all Lin Aoxue could say.
Ye Liuyun chuckled.
"Don't worry, I know my limits. I will go to Leiyun Peak later to pay a visit to Senior Sister Ji Chunling." Ye Liuyun said.
"Well, be careful. I believe that with your brain, you can definitely resolve these troubles. I'm leaving first and see you in a few months." Lin Aoxue turned around and gave Ye Liuyun a hug. Ye Liuyun also gently patted Lin Aoxue's back, indicating that she should not worry.
She knew that Lin Aoxue was under much more pressure than she was.
After saying hello, Lin Aoxue flew away. As for Ye Liuyun, she also called Liusu, then sat on Liusu and flew to Leiyun Peak.
But today the sect was just as bustling as yesterday, with disciples from the main peak constantly flying to other factions' temples, and disciples from the main peak changing their genders on the spot and being assigned places on the spot.
"Oh! I didn't expect that after being a woman for hundreds of years, I would have to become a man halfway through. This world is too crazy." On the road, Ye Liuyun could see many male and female disciples sighing.
Life is like this. Of course, they say they are unlucky, but they are also lucky. How many people can experience being a man and a woman in their lifetime? Obviously not many people.
This time when the disciples were redistributed, the disciples who had become men reacted a little less, while the disciples who had become women reacted a little more.
But no matter what the reaction is, in the end you can only choose to accept reality.
Chapter 262: Full of Pressure (4000 words)
Ye Liuyun felt a little guilty when listening to the complaints of his fellow disciples passing by.
"Everyone! I really didn't mean it. If I have a way, I will definitely change you back." Ye Liuyun muttered awkwardly in his heart.
Liusu carried Ye Liuyun and quickly flew to the entrance of the Leiyun Peak's dojo. The place was guarded by Leiyun Peak disciples. Disciples from other factions needed to notify before entering or leaving, and at least needed to be accompanied by an inner disciple they knew before entering.
At present, there are quite a few disciples entering and leaving Leiyun Peak, and most of them are moving.
"Oh! I didn't expect that so many fellow disciples would be assigned to other factions. Why does it feel like the sect is deliberately balancing the strength of each peak?" The disciple of Leiyun Peak who was guarding the door said helplessly as he watched his fellow disciples flying away.
"What can we do? This time even the main peak disciples have to move. We, the Leiyun Peak and Huoyun Peak, have the largest number of people, so they will definitely not be spared. This time, the biggest beneficiary will be Caiyun Peak. Caiyun Peak was originally the weakest, but now it may not be the case." Another guard disciple also said.
Indeed, in the past, Caiyun Peak had the weakest overall strength, followed by Ziyun Peak, Qingyun Peak, Leiyun Peak and Huoyun Peak, the main peak.
