"Hehe, senior sisters, thank you for your care over the past few years. I have to go to the inner gate first." Ye Liuyun said.
Ye Liuyun's outfit cannot be fake, it is the attire of the inner sect core disciple. In Yunxia Sect, disciples are not allowed to wear random attire. This means that Ye Liuyun really made a quick ascension, directly from the outer sect intermediate to the inner sect core, which is a direct leap across several levels.
"Oh my God, Junior Sister Ye, oh, no, Senior Sister Ye, how did you do it? With your level of cultivation, to be honest, how could you be promoted to the inner sect? Could it be that Elder Yunxiao took a fancy to your alchemy skills?" Yu Yuan asked curiously.
Ye Liuyun did not hide it and nodded directly, indicating that he was impressed by her alchemy skills.
After hearing this, everyone understood. Many of them knew that Ye Liuyun was good at making medicine, especially Yu Yuan.
"I see. Then I wish Senior Sister Ye a bright future. Please take good care of us outer sect sisters in the future." Yu Yuan smiled as soon as he saw Ye Liuyun nod.
Ye Liuyun was happy today, and he was leaving soon. Although they were in the same sect, inner disciples and outer disciples basically would not meet each other unless there was something special, so the number of times they met would definitely be greatly reduced.
They have gotten along pretty well over the years, so Ye Liuyun thought it was okay to take care of the acquaintances, so he said.
"Well, everyone, I'm about to go to the inner gate, and we may have fewer opportunities to meet in the future. But don't worry, I will come here to see you often. By the way, I have some pills here, which I made myself, and I will give them to you." Ye Liuyun waved his hand and took out a lot of pills from the storage ring.
They are all Explosive Spirit Pills and some powerful healing pills. These things are almost useless to Ye Liuyun. She refines these things and keeps them on her body basically to give to others.
"This? So many?" Yu Yuan and others were shocked.
"Hehe, I lack everything except pills. Everyone, take them. Each person takes two. One is a pill to improve your cultivation, and the other is a pill for healing. Especially the healing pill, you will definitely need it when you go out on missions." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
Everyone thought about it and didn't say anything more. They all picked up the pills.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Ye, for the reward." Everyone bowed quickly to express their gratitude.
"Well, I still have some things to do, so you should all go and do your own things." Ye Liuyun said again.
After hearing this, Yu Yuan and the others did not stay long and left happily.
After Ye Liuyun sent them away, he hurried into his residence and began to pack his things.
"Bai Lin, we are moving." As soon as Ye Liuyun entered the room, he called out to Bai Lin who was sleeping on the bed.
"Ouch..." Bai Lin immediately let out a howl.
There weren't actually too many things in Ye Liuyun's residence, just a lot of bottles and jars. She only needed to stuff them all into the storage ring and she was done with it. However, after she had sorted out the things in the house, the half-grown spiritual peach tree made Ye Liuyun a little troubled.
"Master, what should we do with this spiritual peach tree? I must take it with me. There is a spiritual field at my new residence. It will surely grow better if I plant it in the field than here." Ye Liuyun said, looking at the spiritual peach tree.
"That's easy. You can just pull it out by the roots." Lin Qingyou said.
"Hey, is it okay? I hope he won't be killed?" Ye Liuyun was a little worried.
"Don't worry, plants are not that fragile." Lin Qingyou said with a smile.
Since Lin Qingyou said so, Ye Liuyun naturally wasn't worried.
This spiritual peach tree is not particularly thick and has not yet fully grown.
"Hey, Xiao Taotao, I'll take you to live somewhere else." Ye Liuyun said with a smile as he looked at the spiritual peach tree with water blue leaves.
After she finished speaking, she hugged the peach tree and pulled it out of the soil with force.
It was quite easy. After all, with Ye Liuyun's strength, she could pull out not only the spiritual peach tree, but even a tree thicker than her. But why did this scene give me the feeling of Lin Daiyu pulling out a weeping willow tree?
This peach tree has grown to be as thick as an adult's arm.
After pulling it out, Ye Liuyun originally wanted to put it into her storage ring, but unfortunately, this thing seemed a little special and could not fit into her storage ring.
"Eh? Master, why can't I put this thing away?" Ye Liuyun asked while looking at the spiritual peach tree in his arms.
"This tree is spiritual. Storage magic tools and the like cannot hold living things." Lin Qingyou explained.
What she said was very interesting. It was telling Ye Liuyun that you, the spiritual peach tree, were a living being.
"Huh? Do you mean that this tree has self-awareness?" Ye Liuyun was surprised.
"Well, although its consciousness is very vague, this tree has indeed developed self-awareness. Didn't I tell you last time that this spiritual peach tree is no longer an ordinary spiritual peach tree?" Lin Qingyou said.
Ye Liuyun smiled. She immediately did an experiment, looked at the spiritual peach tree in her arms and said something.
"Xiao Taotao, are you conscious? If you can hear what I say, please give me some reaction?" Ye Liuyun asked tentatively.
When she asked this, the crown of the spiritual peach tree immediately flashed blue light a few times. This was very obvious. It seemed that the spiritual peach tree really responded to Ye Liuyun.
"Oh my god, it's shining, and it actually has self-awareness. It won't turn into a peach tree spirit in the future, right?" Ye Liuyun said in surprise.
After confirming that the other party did have self-awareness, Ye Liuyun hugged the spiritual peach tree and came out of the yard, and Bai Lin also ran out jumping.
But as soon as Bai Lin came out, Liusu was frightened and trembled.
"Eh? Liusu, don't be afraid. This little girl is also my pet. She won't hurt you. Her name is Bai Lin, and you will be sisters from now on." Ye Liuyun knew that it must be Bai Lin's bloodline of the divine beast that scared Liusu.
"Awoo..." Bai Lin immediately called out to Liusu in a cute way.
After hearing this, Liusu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Spiritual beasts like them would be instinctively afraid when they encountered divine beasts.
Ye Liuyun hugged the spiritual peach tree and sat on Liusu, and Bai Lin also jumped on it. But just when the two were about to leave, the wild monkey, Sun Wukong, jumped out from somewhere and landed in front of Liusu.
"Eh? Monkey King, you're back? Didn't you also go to the Demon King's Tomb?" Ye Liuyun looked at Monkey King and asked puzzledly.
When Sun Wukong saw Ye Liuyun asking, Li Amin shouted at Ye Liuyun a few times, and then without waiting for Ye Liuyun to say anything, she also jumped onto Liusu.
When Bai Lin saw the monkey coming uninvited, he immediately bared his teeth at Sun Wukong. However, Sun Wukong was not afraid of Bai Lin at all and glared at Bai Lin instead.
This sight frightened Bai Lin so much that she immediately hid in Ye Liuyun's arms and began to tremble.
"Eh? This? No way, what's wrong with this Monkey King? Bai Lin is actually afraid of him?" Ye Liuyun was surprised to see this scene.
She asked Lin Qingyou the first time.
"Master, do you know what's going on? This monkey should be just an ordinary monkey, right? But why is Bai Lin, a divine beast, afraid of him?"
Lin Qingyou did not answer Ye Liuyun's question immediately, but pondered for a while.
"I can only tell you that incredible things have happened to the beasts that ate your elixir. This monkey may seem like an ordinary monkey, but it's hard to say what's inside. Anyway, even I can't tell where he came from."
Things that even Lin Qingyou can't talk about casually are very likely things that are far beyond Ye Liuyun's understanding.
Ye Liuyun was tactful and didn't ask any more questions.
Chapter 135 Attention
Liusu carried Ye Liuyun and the others all the way into the inner gate.
The first thing Ye Liuyun did after arriving at his new residence was to dig a hole in the spiritual field and plant the spiritual peach tree.
This spiritual peach tree is really special. The moment it was buried in the soil, its roots seemed to have life and immediately penetrated deep into the ground, almost merging itself with Ye Liuyun's mountain.
"Woo! Done. Hey! Monkey, you must want to stay with Xiao Taotao, right?" Ye Liuyun glanced at Sun Wukong.
Sun Dasheng immediately nodded in a very humane way.
"Okay then, but I warn you, don't damage a single leaf of Xiao Taotao, otherwise watch out for your monkey butt." Ye Liuyun warned.
Ye Liuyun didn't care how powerful this monkey was. If it pissed her off, he would still give her a good beating.
After instructing Sun Wukong, Ye Liuyun did not put Liusu into the spirit beast bag, but let her stay outside to play with Sun Wukong and the others. As for Bai Lin, Bai Lin seemed to be very afraid of Sun Wukong, so she insisted on staying close to Ye Liuyun.
There is a courtyard on this mountain, as well as a cave for retreat. One can live in the courtyard at ordinary times, and enter the cave when he needs to retreat.
Ye Liuyun's promotion to the inner sect's core disciple was no small matter, so Yun Yun must have known about it.
Over at the sect's main hall, Yun Yun had already received news from the Inner Disciple Management Office.
“Eh? Yun Xiao accepted this little fellow as his apprentice. It seems that Yun Xiao also knows something? Or is there some reason that forced him to do this?” While Yun Yun was muttering about this matter in her heart, she glanced at Yun Che intentionally or unintentionally.
Yun Che also received this news, and this news also made Yun Che fall into deep thought. He was thinking about what value Ye Liuyun had that made Yun Xiao accept him as a core disciple.
He immediately took a look at the information about Ye Liuyun, and the result was that although Ye Liuyun was quite good in alchemy, so far, except for those strange elixirs, he had not heard of how advanced Ye Liuyun's alchemy skills were.
It all felt a little too sudden.
“A white-level alchemist, with the cultivation base of the early stage of the Lingxi Realm. The realm of her physical strength seems to be much higher than that of her spiritual power. She is also Lin Aoxue’s sister. The master of this little girl must have some unknown secret.” Yun Che’s first feeling after reading the news was that Ye Liuyun had some secret, and it was a big secret.
After thinking carefully for a while, he looked at Yun Yun.
“Senior Sister, it seems that you should have also received the notice from the Inner Disciple Management Office. Senior Brother Yunxiao suddenly accepted such a strange disciple. What do you think?” Yun Che asked with a smile.
Yun Yun seemed to predict that Yun Che would definitely ask her, but she would definitely not tell Yun Che.
"I don't know. I don't know much about Ye Liuyu. Besides, this is the privilege of the elders. Maybe she has a good talent for alchemy, so Junior Brother Yunxiao took a fancy to her." Yun Yun replied calmly.
Yun Che knew that he would definitely not be able to get any useful information from Yun Yun, but he felt it necessary to investigate Ye Liuyun’s situation.
“It seems that Senior Sister doesn’t intend to tell me. Then I, Junior Brother, will have to investigate it myself. After all, Senior Brother Yunxiao suddenly made an outer sect disciple in the early stage of Lingxi Realm an inner sect core disciple. This is a bit too abnormal.” Yun Che said.
Yun Yun did not stop him, nor did she have any reason to stop him, so she basically remained silent and told him to do as he pleased.
When a new inner sect core disciple appeared, the inner sect disciples knew about it almost immediately. Most of them were very confused, but some disciples who had received Ye Liuyun's favor came to the mountain where Ye Liuyun was as soon as possible.
Of course, they couldn't go in without the owner's permission, so they could only shout from outside.
"Senior Sister Ye, Senior Sister Ye, are you there? We are here to congratulate you on becoming an inner disciple." An inner disciple who was saved by Ye Liuyun's elixir in Liuyang Mountains last time called out loudly.
Ye Liuyun, who had just put his things into his residence, heard the noise outside and immediately walked out. When he came out, he saw a lot of people floating outside, and they were basically acquaintances. Of course, there were some who could not be recognized because of their gender change.
"Eh? It's you guys, Brother Xiao. Well, come in." Ye Liuyun used the token to open the formation and motioned for them to come in.
The dozen or so people also hurriedly passed through the formation and landed on the platform of the mountain. After they landed, the first thing they did was to look at the water blue peach tree in confusion. This peach tree was too conspicuous. Of course, they were just wondering why the peach tree was this color.
"Congratulations, Miss Ye, on your promotion to the inner sect." Xiao Hansheng said with a smile.
Ye Liuyun took a quick look at the people present. She remembered that most of the inner disciples she had helped should be male cultivators. Unfortunately, now almost half of them were strangers.
"Well, I'm lucky too. I was noticed by Elder Yunxiao. By the way, everyone, who are you all? At least half of my former brothers and sisters have become sisters, right?" Ye Liuyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Those disciples who became female monks immediately started to look sad.
"Ah! I didn't expect that I would suddenly become a woman after being a man for decades. It's really too weird. Moreover, the sect only gave us a few months to adapt. When the time is up, if we haven't changed back to our original gender, we will have to say goodbye to the life of a man. Alas!" The male disciples who had changed their genders sighed.
When Ye Liuyun heard this, she really wanted to say sorry, but she couldn't tell them about this, so she could only play dumb.
"This? Eh? By the way, Brother Xiao, why do I feel like nothing happened to you? Could it be that this sudden change in the world has no effect on you at all?" Ye Liuyun looked at Xiao Hansheng with interest.
Xiao Hansheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly.
"It seems that it didn't affect me. I don't know exactly what happened. Maybe it's just luck."
But she immediately made Lin Qingyou complain.
"Don't listen to her. This little girl has a treasure of the Nirvana realm on her. In addition to allowing her to disguise her body, this treasure can also isolate a part of the power of the law. This little girl must be from someone extraordinary." Lin Qingyou's voice rang in Ye Liuyun's mind.
Ye Liuyun was very surprised when he heard it.
"Oh, so that's the case. Brother Xiao, you are really lucky. By the way, I'm new here. What's the situation of the inner gate now? You should know what I mean." Ye Liuyun took the opportunity to ask about the situation of the inner gate.
When this was said, everyone present had different expressions, because among them there were people who had joined Chaoyang Pavilion, but facing their benefactor, they did not shy away from anything.
"To be honest, the inner sect is now divided into two camps. One is Chaoyang Pavilion, which was created by Qi Chaoying, the former Senior Brother Qi Chaoying, and the other is the opposing camp led by the former direct disciples."
"Although I don't understand why they do this, forgive me for being frank, I'm just an ordinary inner disciple. What I care about is the treatment. Joining Chaoyang Pavilion will give you extra pills and spirit stones every month. This is a benefit that we ordinary inner disciples cannot refuse." A disciple who joined Chaoyang Pavilion replied.
"I think that these returning disciples came back to seize power. Anyone can see that. I don't oppose them seizing power. If they can make the sect develop better after seizing power, it doesn't seem to matter. So I didn't choose a side. Basically, I will just do what I want." A neutral inner disciple also expressed his opinion.
Indeed, the game between the top leaders seems to have nothing to do with ordinary disciples like them. No matter who is in power, they are still ordinary disciples and they have to do what they should do.
Of course, some people expressed dissatisfaction.
"You are just thinking too simply about things. Have you ever thought about why they do this? These are people who have left the sect for decades or even hundreds of years and have made no contribution to the sect. They come back to seize power. Aren't you afraid of being sold out?" A disciple from the resistance camp asked unhappily.
As soon as he said this, everyone started arguing. It was a mess at the moment. The disciples in the resistance camp accused them of being fence-sitters who would go to whichever side offered more benefits.
Those on the Chaoyang Pavilion's side defended themselves. They did not deny that this group of returning monks came to seize power, but they also felt that this was tacitly approved by the sect, and they did not betray the sect, so why couldn't they join the Chaoyang Pavilion?
The neutral disciples remained silent.
"Okay, okay, everyone, there's no need to argue about this kind of thing, but I have to tell you something honestly. It's fine for you to join Chaoyang Pavilion and take up a position, but you must be careful about being used by others."
"The atmosphere in the sect has not been very good recently. Our outer sect is still okay, but I heard that there are many conflicts between the various halls in the inner sect. You should pay attention to this. By the way, I have researched some special elixirs. Are you interested in taking a look?" Ye Liuyun did not intend to continue this topic.
As soon as the word elixir was mentioned, everyone became interested. After all, they had seen Ye Liuyun's special elixirs.
"Yes, we are here to congratulate Senior Sister Ye on her promotion to the inner sect's core disciple, not to quarrel." Someone then remembered what they were here for.
The reason why Ye Liuyun was willing to sell the pills he refined to them at a low price, or give them as gifts, was because he had his own purposes.
The more people her alchemy gang has, the more favors these people owe her. So, if Lin Aoxue comes into conflict with Qi Chaoying in the future, these disciples should be able to be used by her.
Although Ye Liuyun did this with impure motives, this is how people get along with each other. There is no such thing as a free lunch. These people have received favors from Ye Liuyun, and they should be very clear about this.
Chapter 136: Trouble
