"Shut up. If you talk about this again, I will break your legs. Do you believe it?" Huo Ling immediately glared at his thick-skinned disciple. But Jiang Yan soon understood what was going on. "Oh, I understand, isn't it? This is the new clothing that the sect got for you? This, this is too outrageous. No, this is a humiliation to you. Humiliating you is a humiliation to me, your disciple. I want to go to the main peak to talk to the fifth elder." Jiang Yan was about to leave angrily. But he was stopped by the Fire Spirit. "Come back, who told you to go? It's not you who turned into a woman, why are you in such a hurry?" The Fire Spirit shouted angrily. Jiang Yan's body froze, and she could only turn around and look at her master in silence. Her master was really a polar opposite. When she was a man, she was very domineering, but after becoming a woman, she turned into such a harmless girl. "No, Master, this is how the sect is going to do it. Why did you agree? Our Huoyun Peak has the largest number of disciples besides the main peak. Now we have to allocate one-third of the people to other peaks." Jiang Yan couldn't help but ask. "Do you think I want to? Two-thirds of the top leaders have voted in favor of it. What can I do? I can only accept it. Besides, what your uncle-master said is right. It's not appropriate to keep disregarding gender." The Fire Spirit replied weakly. As the leader of Huoyun Peak, she must sacrifice herself for the greater good. After all, the Yun Sect is facing a lot of trouble. If she doesn't handle it well, there may be no Yun Sect in the future. "This? Okay, but, Master, I, your disciple, can't stand you like this. Why do you dress like a little girl?" Jiang Yan wanted to laugh as he spoke, but he didn't dare to.
--------------------------------- "Hey! Laugh if you want to. I even want to laugh at myself. By the way, what's the matter with you coming to see me? If not, get out of here right now. I don't want to see anyone now." The Fire Spirit said very aggrievedly. When Jiang Yan heard this, he remembered the purpose of his visit. "Oh, I almost forgot. It's like this. I just came to ask, what are you thinking? Why did you get an outsider to represent our Yun Sect to participate in the Nanling event? Do you think that our disciples can't stand out in this event?" Jiang Yan asked. Huo Ling knew that Jiang Yan and the others would find out about this matter sooner or later, so he had already prepared an excuse. "To be honest, it's not that your master looks down on you. If you want to be noticed by the upper sect, only Murong Huan has some chance, but it's just some chance. But this Lin Aoxue is different. You know, she is in her early twenties this year. When she entered the Yunxia Sect, she was only at the Lingxi Realm. But it only took her a few years to reach the late Lingwen Realm. Boy, do you know what this means?" Huo Ling told Jiang Yan the news he knew. Jiang Yan was originally unwilling to accept it. After all, the sect would rather believe a person at the Spiritual Pattern Realm than those at the peak of the Dao Palace. This must be very annoying. But after hearing what his master said, he was stunned. "This? Impossible, how is it possible? In just a few years, you have completed the journey that others have taken decades to complete. Master, do you really believe this? Have you been cheated?" Jiang Yan was dumbfounded. The Fire Spirit immediately rolled his eyes at his disciple. "Are you an idiot? Although we old guys are not young anymore, there is nothing wrong with our brains. We have seen this little girl with our own eyes, how could it be fake? Don't think too much. It's not that the sect doesn't trust you guys, but this Nanling event is related to the survival of the sect a hundred years later. There must be no problems. Do you understand?" Huo Ling said seriously. Jiang Yan was speechless. Indeed, compared to the sect's survival a hundred years later, there was nothing that the sect could not accept. He knew that his master's new identity was also a heavy burden to bear. Even a respectable man now has to wear red clothes. "So that's how it is. I really want to meet this Junior Sister Lin and see if she is really that special." Jiang Yan clenched his fists, and a fighting spirit burst out from his eyes. "You should focus on your cultivation. Instead of wasting time on being jealous of others, you might as well find a way to break through the Four Extremes Secret Realm. That way, you may still have a chance to stand out." The Fire Spirit taught. Jiang Yan was choked again by her master's words. She sighed softly and prepared to leave. "In that case, I, your disciple, will go back first." Jiang Yan said and was about to leave. "Go away, go away. It's not a big deal. Don't bother me. I'm already annoyed." The Fire Spirit waved his hand as if to drive away a fly. But Jiang Yan was really itching for trouble. When he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and asked a question that made Huo Ling very angry.
"Eh? Master, the reason you're so upset is because the sect requires you female cultivators who have changed your gender to go to the main peak to attend classes?" Jiang Yan asked with a smile. As soon as these words came out, the fire spirit exploded. "You damn little bastard, do you want to die? If you do, I'll pretend that I don't have a disciple like you." The Fire Spirit was about to lose his temper again. Jiang Yan quickly ran away in an instant. The Fire Spirit was angry for this very reason. Men and women have different physiques and body structures. They were all men before and had never understood women, so they were completely newbies. If they don't understand their physical condition and continue to practice as men, they will easily go astray. That's why they are asked to go to the main peak to learn from the fifth elder the cultivation knowledge that female cultivators should know. This is also for their own good. Huo Ling felt that something was wrong with her cultivation during this period. She knew the reason, but due to face pressure, she had been unwilling to seek out information from her female fellow disciples. This time it was mandatory, as the Yun Sect's ancestor had also spoken, and all senior members who had changed genders were not allowed to refuse. Originally, among the six factions, only the master of Caiyun Peak was a female cultivator, and the rest were male cultivators. But now, the master of Ziyun Peak has become a woman, and she, the master of Huoyun Peak, has also become a woman. It just so happens that the most powerful people in the six sects are three men and three women. Fang Mingyu is at the peak of the Divine Soul Realm, and the masters of their five peaks are also at the Divine Soul Realm. Except for the sect master, the other five peak masters, Huo Ling, are the strongest, in the late Divine Soul Realm, Leiyun Peak Master and Qingyun Peak Master are in the middle Divine Soul Realm, and Ziyun Peak Master and Caiyun Peak Master are in the early Divine Soul Realm. The elders of their faction are all from the Four Poles Secret Realm. As for the current situation, no one knows whether it is intentional by God or not, but the yin and yang are basically balanced, and the ratio of men to women has become equal from the beginning when there were more men than women. By the way, Ji Chunling’s news solved a lot of troubles for Ye Liuyun. All the sect members no longer had any interest in Ye Liuyun. They all paid attention to Lin Aoxue in the library, and sent people to keep an eye on her almost every day. If Lin Aoxue came out, they would definitely come to see this woman who was highly expected by the sect. Because even if their master told them that Lin Aoxue was very talented, they would not be convinced. After all, seeing is believing. As for Ye Liuyun, her life was finally back on track. After coming back, she took a rest and then customized a complete training plan for herself. The next day, she put on the heavy armor she bought in Silent City, and forced herself to train her body. She also took some body-stimulating pills to accelerate the improvement of her physical strength. Ye Liuyun decided that he must reach the Lingwen Realm before the Nanling event began, and he had to endure any hardship for this. Lin Qingyou also taught Ye Liuyun many prescriptions for stimulating the body, but these were all conventional medicines, such as body-tempering pills and bone-refining liquids. As long as it was a means that could torture the body without killing people, it could be used. The more painful the torture to the body, the better the effect. Ye Liuyun's training method is no different from self-mutilation. She also took some mutant pills she made herself regularly. Since no one came to disturb her, time passed very quickly. By the way, in order to adapt to the trouble brought by the shoes as soon as possible, Ye Liuyun made himself a pair of very heavy metal shoes. This was Lin Qingyou's suggestion. After wearing these shoes for a month, Ye Liuyun should be basically completely adapted to them. "Damn, it hurts so much, it's too heavy." A heavily armored warrior was walking with difficulty by the lake. From a distance, Ye Liuyun looked like an iron man. The pair of metal high heels on his feet sank directly into the mud, and he was about to fall after taking a few steps, but Ye Liuyun quickly got up again. After repeating this over and over again, Ye Liuyun's movements became easier and easier. Apparently, he was just gradually adapting to the weight of his body, or perhaps his physical strength was constantly improving. The couple were both preparing for the Nanling event. The powerful disciples of the Yun Sect were gradually becoming quiet, and they also needed to use the remaining time to make themselves stronger. As for those disciples who were reassigned to factions, at most they were not used to it at first, but after a month, they all became well-behaved and at most they just complained a few words in private. At this rate of progress, things will basically be back on track next year. On the Yun Sect side, Ye Liuyun was almost forgotten, and no one paid attention to her anymore. Chapter 264 Devil's Practice (5000 words)
Ye Liuyun's practice is self-torture and self-destruction.
Torture your own body, unlimitedly develop the potential hidden in your body, and allow yourself to constantly surpass your limits. As long as he could reasonably utilize the extraordinary recovery effect of this immortal body, Ye Liuyun's physical training intensity in one day might be comparable to that of others in one month. She could be struck by lightning, roasted by fire, and frozen, and with the effects of refining elixirs, she could see her strength improving almost every day. This increase in strength also stimulated Ye Liuyun's ambition. But this kind of practice is painful. Although her pain nerves are more numb than those of ordinary people, she can still feel the pain. However, she can basically not feel some skin injuries. At least it must be the pain of broken bones to make her pain nerves fluctuate slightly. That’s right, the pain is becoming more and more numb, but the feeling of fatigue is something that cannot be eliminated. I feel tired every day, so tired that Ye Liuyun wants to give up. Being tired is the original sin of laziness. Laziness and fear of fatigue are also common problems among practitioners, so Ye Liuyun asked Lin Qingyou to whip her a few times when he wanted to retreat, so painful wails could be heard coming from the valley every day. Because Lin Qingyou's whip was meant to whip the soul, and no one could bear that kind of pain. But it was true that the effect was very obvious. Every time he was whipped, Ye Liuyun's laziness and cowardice disappeared. "Tsk tsk, this little girl is really cruel to herself. The amount of practice she does in one day is almost the amount of practice she would normally do in thirty days. But this should be her limit. Her body is about to collapse." Lin Qingyou has been paying attention to Ye Liuyun's physical changes. Ye Liuyun's body was cracked into tiny cracks, and blood seeped out. It shows how hard she works. Once her body collapses, she will die, which means that all her training today has been in vain. So every time before her body collapses, Lin Qingyou reminds Ye Liuyun to take a rest. Time passed day by day in cultivation, and Ye Liuyun's body refining equipment was constantly updated. The armor on his body changed from ordinary armor to some armor made of rare metals. Although it was very simple, all Ye Liuyun wanted was the pressure on his body. In addition, one cannot just train the body without practicing martial arts, combat skills are also necessary. Ye Liuyun had thought of this before, so when he was in Silent City, he bought several puppets in the Spirit Pattern Realm. After these puppets were equipped with spirit stones, they could exert the power of the Spirit Pattern Realm. Ye Liuyun bought four of them. In addition to training, she practiced with these puppets every day. However, with her limited fighting skills, she would definitely be beaten black and blue by the puppets every day. The puppets would not show mercy to women, and if she didn't stop, they would beat her to death. Although he was beaten half to death every day, Ye Liuyun's combat experience was constantly improving through these beatings. "What a scary woman! Is she like me, immortal?" Fan Ling muttered in her heart as she sat aside and watched Ye Liuyun being beaten badly by the puppet. Because she found that no matter how badly injured Ye Liuyun was, he would recover completely after a while, and his body's recovery ability was already very terrifying. Ye Liuyun's training method is the same as that of ordinary warriors in the secular world. He practices strength, and when his strength is strong enough, he can also split mountains and break rocks like immortal cultivators. Body training and Qi training are two different methods of cultivation. Immortal practitioners absorb the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon and use the spiritual energy as the energy source for the body. This method of cultivation is called Qi training. The way warriors practice is to constantly develop the limits of their own bodies in order to reach a level beyond that of ordinary people. However, it is difficult to see results in this way in a short period of time. A cultivator may see noticeable results after two or three years of Qi training, but a warrior may take ten years to see certain results after body training, and the effects will not be as obvious as those of a cultivator who practices Qi training. Therefore, in the cultivation world, the number of body cultivators is gradually declining, and this has something to do with people’s character. However, the body-refining technique has not completely disappeared. Occasionally, there are still some monks who practice both the Dharma body and the Qi body. Such monks are stronger than the regular Qi-refining monks. But it also takes more time, and costs several times more than ordinary people. Ji Chunling from Leiyun Peak can be considered a cultivator who is half a practitioner of both Dharma and physical cultivation. She uses lightning to temper her body and stimulate her flesh. While practicing thunder magic, she also possesses extremely strong physical defense. Ji Chunling is only slightly inferior to Murong Huan in a one-on-one fight and is on par with Jiang Yan. She can even face off against Jiang Yan in a head-on physical confrontation. However, it is difficult for a female monk who has not cultivated her body to compete with men of the same level in physical strength.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed. During this month, Ye Liuyun's physical strength has reached the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, and he is only a little bit away from the Spirit Pattern Realm. However, according to Ye Liuyun's training method, reaching the Lingwen realm will definitely not be a problem. However, the physical strength of the Lingwen realm alone is unlikely to play an effective role in the Nanling event. He can only play with other Lingwen realm cultivators, and will be at a loss if he meets a Taoist monk. “Little girl, if you only practice like this, there is basically no chance for you to stand out in the Nanling event. Old Sun will give you a suggestion. You should practice your speed. As the saying goes, extreme speed is strength, and most cultivators are not fast enough.” Just when Ye Liuyu was tired of practicing and jumped into the lake to take a bath, Monkey King spoke and gave her a suggestion. After hearing this, Ye Liuyun was confused. "Practice speed? Besides dodging and escaping, are there any other uses for speed?" Ye Liuyun asked in surprise. Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and jumped down from the peach tree. "Your understanding of speed is still too superficial, little girl. Come, let me demonstrate to you. I have two stones of similar size in my hand. Can you see if they are almost the same size?" Sun Wukong picked up two stones from the ground and showed them to Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun knew that this monkey was no ordinary person, so he climbed out of the water and looked at the stone in Sun Wukong's hand seriously. "See clearly." Sun Wukong first casually threw a stone into the lake. The stone fell into the water with a splash, creating some water splashes. But when Sun Wukong threw a stone again, this time it was thrown at a faster speed, and when the stone landed on the water, it splashed even bigger water. Ye Liuyun knew what Sun Wukong meant at a glance. "Isn't this the application of force? The force used to throw a stone is small, so the power when it falls on the water is naturally small. However, if you throw the stone with force, the force will increase and so the power will also increase. I definitely understand this principle, but what I want to say is that the human body is driven by its own strength, not external force, so it is impossible for it to produce a qualitative change." Ye Liuyun said. Sun Dasheng rolled his eyes at Ye Liuyun again. “I can only say that your understanding of body-building techniques in this era is really too superficial. Well, since you woke me up, I, Old Sun, will show you a few of my skills,” said Sun Wukong. Ye Liuyun became interested. This Monkey King picked up a pebble from the waterside, then in front of Ye Liuyun, he took a deep breath, and finally chopped the pebble with a knife at lightning speed. In the eyes of normal people, Monkey King's little hand is like an egg hitting a stone. But the problem was, the next moment, an incredible scene appeared for Ye Liuyun. He saw that the pebble, which was bigger than Sun Wukong's hand, suddenly broke into two pieces with a click, as if it had been cut by a sharp blade. This scene shocked Ye Liuyun. She quickly picked up the broken stone on the ground and looked left and right. This was definitely not foam. "No way, Monkey, how did you do this?" Ye Liuyun exclaimed. In fact, this is not a difficult task for Ye Liuyun, but the problem is that this Monkey King is just an ordinary monkey except that he can speak and has a higher IQ. This is like an ordinary kid who has not practiced martial arts, breaking stones with his bare hands. It's outrageous. "This is the application of power. The physical strength of a living being is called strength, not simple power. Only by using strength and energy reasonably can you truly unleash an attack that is many times your own strength." Monkey King explained. After listening to this, Ye Liuyun asked Lin Qingyou immediately. "Master, is what this monkey said true?" But it was hard for Lin Qingyou to say, because she was not a physical cultivator and had never practiced physical cultivation. However, she knew that a long time ago, there were many physical cultivators in this world, and those who practiced physical cultivation were generally stronger than those who practiced magic. However, physical cultivation had already declined in her era, so Lin Qingyou could not guide Ye Liuyun in body training. She only knew that the strength of the human body could be increased infinitely. "She shouldn't be fooling you. It seems that this monkey knows a lot about body refining techniques. Little guy, I suggest you build a good relationship with him and let him guide you. I think you should have unexpected gains." Lin Qingyou suggested.
--------------------------------- After listening to this, Ye Liuyun pondered for a while, then changed his expression and looked at Sun Wukong with a playful smile. "Well, Monkey, it seems that you must have been an expert in body-building techniques in your previous life. Since you know so much about body-building techniques, why don't you teach others?" Ye Liuyun said with a smile. When Sun Wukong saw Ye Liuyun's playful look, he pretended to be in deep thought. "Teach you? That's not impossible, but I, Old Sun, have been a little greedy lately. If you can get me some spiritual fruits to try, then maybe I can teach you a few tricks." Sun Wukong glanced at Ye Liuyun with his peripheral vision, and then said something with a hint of meaning. When Ye Liuyun heard this request, he immediately rolled his eyes.
