Forced to Become a Pure and Innocent Female Apothecary to Cultivate Immortality Chapter 35 : Chapter 35

Chapter 35: A Deeper Conversation

After getting up, Ye Liuyun quickly returned to normal. The pill she had taken could only maintain its effect for five minutes.

“Phew… alright, the effect is over,” Ye Liuyun said as she stretched her body and let out a comfortable sigh.

Lin Aoxue had just stood up as well. She dusted off the dirt from her clothes, straightened her garnts, and then reached out to grab Ye Liuyun.

“Co on. Our part here is finished. Let’s find sowhere else to talk. There are too many people here,” Lin Aoxue said quietly.

Ye Liuyun nodded.

Under Yun Yun’s watchful gaze, the two of them left the Martial Arena. Yun Yun did not stop Lin Aoxue.

After leaving the arena, the two found a quiet place and sat down to talk.

“Hey, what exactly are you thinking about? I have noticed that ever since you ca to the Yunxia Sect, your personality has beco strange. You are nothing like the person I rember,” Lin Aoxue asked.

The reason was simple.

Lin Aoxue felt that Ye Liuyun had been pretending ever since they arrived at the Yunxia Sect.

Did she not understand Ye Liuyun’s personality?

In his previous life, Ye Liuyun had been soone who feared trouble above all else. Even in this life, back in Qixia Town, she had still avoided trouble whenever possible.

But after arriving at the Yunxia Sect, Lin Aoxue felt that Ye Liuyun was deliberately creating a false impression of herself.

What kind of impression?

Acting innocent. Acting pure.

Sotis she appeared clever, while at other tis she behaved a little foolish.

Altogether, it gave people a strange and contradictory feeling.

If Lin Aoxue did not know Ye Liuyun’s true nature so well, she might also have been deceived by her appearance.

“Aoxue, my cultivation talent is not as good as yours. I am not the sa as you,” Ye Liuyun said calmly. “When you cause trouble, soone will clean it up for you. But I do not have that luxury.”

“Ever since I beca a woman, I have been constantly thinking about what I should do in the future and what path I should walk.”

“You can simply focus on cultivating. You do not need to worry about anything else. The higher your cultivation becos, the higher your status in the Yunxia Sect.”

“To say sothing a little embarrassing… in this world, trouble often cos looking for you even when you do nothing. In fact, this is true anywhere people gather.”

“As for the cultivation world, I am also a newcor. I am still figuring things out myself.”

Ye Liuyun put away her smile and looked at Lin Aoxue with a serious expression as she explained the thoughts that had been on her mind.

“Sigh… is that not exhausting?” Lin Aoxue asked. “Didn’t you say you are an alchemist? Alchemists are quite valued in the cultivation world. Your alchemy skills must already be fairly good.”

“If you reveal just a little of your alchemy talent to the sect, I am sure they will treat you as an important asset. Wouldn’t life in the Yunxia Sect beco much easier for you then?”

However, Ye Liuyun shook her head.

“Everything has two sides. Keeping a low profile has its advantages, and being high-profile also has its advantages,” Ye Liuyun said.

“You must rember that there is always soone stronger and a sky beyond the sky. Do not think that being the Sect Master’s personal disciple ans you can rest easy within the Yunxia Sect. That is impossible.”

She was clearly reminding Lin Aoxue.

Lin Aoxue was not foolish. Sotis she simply lost her composure because she cared too much.

“Relax. What happened today was just an accident. You affected my judgnt,” Lin Aoxue said. “But you… you deliberately stayed out of everyone’s sight for three years, didn’t you?”

After all, it was not normal for soone to avoid returning to their residence for three entire years.

“Well, now you are accusing unfairly,” Ye Liuyun replied. “I simply stayed sowhere else.”

“Besides, staying out of the spotlight is not a bad thing. In any case, you should also keep a lower profile. I am worried that so people might pay special attention to because of you.”

Lin Aoxue understood exactly what Ye Liuyun ant.

So people might not openly target Lin Aoxue, but who could say whether they might secretly target Ye Liuyun instead?

Anyone could see that Ye Liuyun was very important to Lin Aoxue.

That ant Ye Liuyun was Lin Aoxue’s greatest weakness.

And today, Lin Aoxue’s actions had already exposed that weakness.

“Then I will have to cultivate even harder,” Lin Aoxue said seriously. “Only when I beco stronger will they not dare to cause trouble for you.”

Ye Liuyun nodded.

There was truth in that.

However, relying on others was often unreliable. The most dependable support was still oneself.

Over the past few years, while researching pills that might allow her to return to being a man, Ye Liuyun had also created many strange pills.

If she used them properly, those pills could beco her greatest ans of self-protection.

She could not rely too heavily on her immortal body either.

Within the Yunxia Sect, the two of them were restricted in many ways.

If only one of them had joined the sect alone, life would have been much easier.

The problem was that both of them were within the sa sect.

They had beco each other’s bond—and each other’s weakness.

For example, if the Yunxia Sect discovered that Ye Liuyun was a genius alchemist capable of refining pills that could rapidly increase cultivation, any sect would want to control such a person.

And if they wanted to control Ye Liuyun, they would only need to firmly hold Lin Aoxue.

The sa logic applied in reverse.

As long as Ye Liuyun remained under the sect’s control, Lin Aoxue would never betray the Yunxia Sect.

Of course, these were rely speculations.

It did not necessarily an the Yunxia Sect would act in such a way.

However, wherever people gathered, there would always be interests and benefits.

And wherever interests and benefits existed, there would always be people with ulterior motives.

As newcors to the cultivation world, the only person they could fully trust was each other.

Everyone else—and everything else—could only be trusted partially.

anwhile, the arena competition continued.

Before long, it finally ca to an end.

That evening, inside the main hall of the Yunxia Sect—

“Lin Aoxue, as the Sect Master’s personal disciple, even if there was a misunderstanding today, your actions were far too reckless. The entire sect witnessed you pointing your sword at your own master. We must give an explanation to the disciples,” Yun Ling said.

“After discussion, we have decided to punish you with three months of confinent in Wind Sword Valley. Do you have any objections?”

Wind Sword Valley was a forbidden area within the Yunxia Sect.

However, it was also a place used both to punish and to test disciples.

Fierce winds blew there all year round—winds as sharp as blades. When they struck the body, the pain was unbearable.

However, it would not kill a person.

If used properly, it could even beco an excellent place for cultivation.

“This disciple accepts the punishnt,” Lin Aoxue replied without bargaining.

“Very well. Rember today’s lesson and do not repeat such mistakes. Otherwise, even if the Sect Master wishes to protect you, it will not be possible,” Yun Ling said sternly.

Thus, Lin Aoxue’s punishnt was finalized.

The next morning, the announcent was made throughout the entire sect.

When Ye Liuyun heard the news, she imdiately beca worried.

“Master, will Aoxue be in danger?” Ye Liuyun asked.

She had just walked out of the new disciples’ residence. They were about to move to the outer sect disciples’ residence, since the current area was reserved only for new disciples.

“Do not worry. That girl is the Yunxia Sect’s precious treasure. How could they allow her to face mortal danger?” Lin Qingyou said. “She will suffer a little, but that is all.”

Ye Liuyun sighed softly.

Before anything else, she first needed to visit the Sect Affairs Pavilion to upgrade her disciple status.

When Ye Liuyun walked out of the Sect Affairs Pavilion again, she had already changed into a white dress with green patterns.

From this point onward, it was considered the attire of an adult disciple.

However, Ye Liuyun suddenly felt that the new disciple uniform had actually been more convenient for movent.
