Back at the dwelling, the Entry Disciples gathered around again, offering warm greetings and concern.
"Senior Sister Ye, you didn't get too tired, did you? Ah, the Sect's punishment shouldn't be like this..."
Ye Liuyun's ears were filled with the chirping of these people. Ye Liuyun knew their enthusiasm toward her was purely because of Lin Aoxue.
She casually said a few words to dismiss the crowd, then prepared to enter her Immortal Cave.
"Miss Ye, you've returned?" Just then, Xiao Hansheng appeared.
She didn't want to pay much attention to others, but she still had to be polite to Xiao Hansheng.
"Oh, Brother Xiao, today's punishment is over. It exhausted me. Twenty-nine more days, this is tough," Ye Liuyun lamented.
"This! Alas! Miss Ye, you must be more careful in the future. A Cultivation Sect is unlike the Mortal World; the Sect Rules here are far more numerous than in the Mortal World. If you're slightly careless, you'll violate the Sect Rules," Xiao Hansheng chuckled.
Ye Liuyun nodded. How could she not know that she needed to be careful upon entering the Cultivation World? Today could only be called an accident.
"Mhm, thank you for the reminder, Brother Xiao. I'll head back to my Immortal Cave to rest first. We can talk more after my punishment is completely over," Ye Liuyun said.
Xiao Hansheng nodded, watched Ye Liuyun enter her Immortal Cave, and then returned to his own.
After entering the Immortal Cave, Ye Liuyun immediately popped a Spirit Burst Pill into her mouth. The next moment, a massive amount of Spiritual Qi gathered, and she felt completely refreshed.
The fatigue on her body was completely washed away by the Spiritual Qi storm.
After she finished absorbing the Medicinal Pill's power, she began researching Medicinal Pills again. The reason she was so exhausted yesterday was that she had refined many Medicinal Pills with different effects overnight, and she hadn't had time to test the medicinal effects of any of them.
"I won't Alchemy today. Today, I'll mainly test them. Hehe, I, Ye Liuyun, shall imitate Shennong tasting the hundred herbs." Ye Liuyun casually grabbed a purple Medicinal Pill and tossed it into her mouth.
This Medicinal Pill contained a mixture of three Medicinal Herbs and didn't look like a legitimate medicine.
After the Medicinal Pill entered her body, a strange purple Medicinal Power began to spread toward Ye Liuyun's body, and the medicinal effects started invading her.
"Eh?" Ye Liuyun suddenly opened her eyes. They were bloodshot, and her rosy lips turned dark purple as if she had been poisoned.
"Ugh!" Ye Liuyun clutched her chest and subsequently spat out a large mouthful of black Poisonous Blood.
"Damn! It's actually a Poison Pill, and a highly toxic one at that." After spitting out a large mouthful of Poisonous Blood, Ye Liuyun died immediately from the poisoning.
This guy really dares to eat any Medicinal Pill! Did he just Poison himself to death?
But soon, a strange thing happened. A phantom figure slowly drifted out of Ye Liuyun's body and hovered above the physical form—it was Ye Liuyun's Soul.
"What the hell? I didn't add any Poisonous Herbs, so how did I refine a highly toxic Medicinal Pill?" Ye Liuyun muttered calmly while looking at her lifeless corpse.
Didn't this guy realize that he was already dead?
"Nonsense! Who told you that Poison Pills must be made from Poisonous Herbs? Medicinal Herbs aren't categorized as Poisonous or Beneficial Herbs; it depends on how you combine them." Lin Qingyou's figure also floated out.
"Ugh! This Medicinal Pill is meaningless. Boring." Ye Liuyun shook her head, indicating her dissatisfaction.
"No, no, no. This Medicinal Pill still has room for improvement. If refined to its limit, poisoning high-level Cultivators would be easy. Besides, haven't you always complained that the Cultivation Technique I taught you lacks combat power? Since you lack combat power yourself, why not refine some Medicinal Pills that can protect you?" Lin Qingyou reminded her.
Lin Qingyou's words suddenly opened up a new world for Ye Liuyun.
"You're right! Why didn't I think of that? Then let's continue testing medicine. Anyway, I've died several times already, so it doesn't matter." Ye Liuyun chuckled.
That's right. When she was in Qixia Town, she had already died seven or eight times. The first time was upon successfully cultivating the Eternal Youth Technique.
To test if Lin Qingyou was lying to her, Ye Liuyun secretly ran out of Qixia Town, found a very high Cliff, and jumped off. She died instantly from the fall, but the result was that Ye Liuyun resurrected shortly after, her body completely intact.
After that, Ye Liuyun mixed Mortal World medicines and poisoned herself several times. Mixing medicines haphazardly certainly makes it easy to die from consumption.
Sure enough, within a minute, Ye Liuyun's physical body began to emit a rich Life Force. Under the effect of this Life Force, Ye Liuyun's body rapidly recovered, the toxins inside were completely cleared, the body revived, and the Soul was immediately pulled back into the physical body by its power.
With the Soul merging with the body, Ye Liuyun opened her eyes once more.
"Sigh! Continue. The ingredients of this Medicinal Pill are..." Ye Liuyun took out her Pill Record Book again and recorded the ingredients of the Poison Pill.
After recording it, she tested another Medicinal Pill. This time, the Medicinal Pill she picked up was pink, but Lin Qingyou stopped her just as she was about to eat it.
"Hey, kid, you shouldn't eat this Medicinal Pill." Lin Qingyou warned.
"Huh? Why? This Medicinal Pill doesn't look like Poison, does it?" Ye Liuyun was surprised.
Lin Qingyou immediately rolled her eyes at Ye Liuyun upon hearing that.
"Judging by the color, this seems to be some kind of Hehuan Pill. Are you sure you want to eat it?" Lin Qingyou asked with a strange expression.
"Oh, Hehuan Pill? Pfft! Oh, you mean that stuff?" When Ye Liuyun heard the words "Hehuan Pill," she didn't show the shyness of a woman, but rather the curious gaze of a man.
Seeing Ye Liuyun react this way sent a chill down Lin Qingyou's spine.
"Hey! Kid, you need to be self-aware! You're not a man anymore, so don't be as reckless as you used to be," Lin Qingyou said.
Unfortunately, while she was talking, Ye Liuyun had already eaten the Medicinal Pill as if it were candy.
Ye Liuyun wasn't worried about suffering any ill effects. Besides, how could she know the Medicinal Pill's specific effects without trying it?
So, she swallowed it without hesitation. Even Hehuan Pills had different varieties.
"Eh? You?" Lin Qingyou was stunned.
After the Medicinal Pill entered her body, Ye Liuyun felt nothing.
"Strange, I don't feel anything. Don't they say eating this stuff makes you dizzy and lose control? That's how they write it in TV dramas and novels," Ye Liuyun whispered.
But soon, she realized the severity of it. As the Medicinal Pill slowly dissolved inside her, a strange heat began to permeate her entire body. Ye Liuyun suddenly felt dizzy, and the surrounding environment began to spin.
"Hey! Kid, stay conscious! I told you not to eat it, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened," Lin Qingyou warned.
Ye Liuyun shook her head, and then something bizarre happened: Lin Qingyou, who was standing right in front of her, gradually transformed into Lin Aoxue.
"Liuyun, Liuyun, what's wrong?" Lin Aoxue asked, shaking Ye Liuyun's shoulder.
Ye Liuyun felt her consciousness was about to leave her body. Her body moved uncontrollably, and she hugged Lin Aoxue tightly.
"Ao Xue, why are you here? That's strange, I..." Ye Liuyun was about to say something, but just then, she suddenly heard the sound of a drop of water hitting the surface in her ear.
Her hazy consciousness instantly cleared up.
Upon waking up, she realized the person standing in front of her was Lin Qingyou, not Lin Aoxue.
Lin Qingyou was using her own power to clear the Medicinal Power from Ye Liuyun's body.
