Furthermore, since everyone knew she had been punished by the Sect, she was basically ignored by everyone.
One month later...
Ye Liuyun was seen walking out of the Alchemy Room looking exhausted.
"Ah! I'm not refining anymore. I can't just refine Medicinal Pills all the time. Old Hag, can you teach me other things, like how to fight?" Ye Liuyun asked after walking out of the Alchemy Room.
"It is possible, but I am afraid you will cause trouble. I know your personality, kid. If I really teach you powerful methods, wouldn't you turn the Yunxia Sect upside down?" Lin Qingyou said with great concern.
Just refining Medicinal Pills had already caused a stir in the Yunxia Sect. If she were to teach Ye Liuyun combat skills, she could hardly imagine what shocking things Ye Liuyun would do.
"Don't say that, Master, beautiful Master, fairy sister. I promise, as long as you teach me combat skills, I won't call you Old Hag in the future," Ye Liuyun said quickly.
She did not want to remain an Immortal Cultivator with no combat ability forever.
Lin Qingyou pondered again for a moment.
"Alright, but the Cultivation Technique you practice cannot increase your power. Teaching you too strong of a Cultivation Technique would have no great significance. I will teach you some combat routines. As for what level you can reach, that will depend on your own Opportunity," Lin Qingyou said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately became excited.
She happily walked towards the place to submit tasks.
"Senior Brother Duan, I'm submitting my task. Please check it." Ye Liuyun arrived at the place where tasks were accepted and placed the task token and the Medicinal Pill on the counter.
Senior Brother Duan, who was issuing the tasks, was startled after seeing who it was.
"It's you again, Junior Sister Ye. You have accepted five tasks this month. I really don't understand how you complete the tasks." Senior Brother Duan asked in surprise after checking the Medicinal Pill.
"Hehe, it's a secret. I can't tell you. Hand over the contribution points." Ye Liuyun shook her identity token.
Senior Brother Duan also helplessly took Ye Liuyun's token and transferred the contribution points that Ye Liuyun should have received to her.
In just this one month, Ye Liuyun had already earned more than three thousand contribution points, which was already a lot. A normal Disciple's monthly stipend was only one hundred contribution points.
Next, following Lin Qingyou's wishes, Ye Liuyun went to the back mountain of the Yunxia Sect. Since she was practicing, and she did not want to be too conspicuous, going to the back mountain was definitely the most suitable choice.
The terrain of the back mountain was varied, with tall trees and dense forests, which was very suitable for Ye Liuyun.
"Alright, let's stop here. I will first teach you a set of palm techniques and movement techniques. However, before that, you must learn some deportment. I am a Female Cultivator, and my things are only suitable for Female Cultivators to practice. You are a woman now, so you still need to learn deportment, otherwise, the routines I teach you will look very ugly when performed," Lin Qingyou said.
Ye Liuyun was originally very happy, but as soon as she heard Lin Qingyou say she wanted her to practice deportment, she immediately became unhappy.
It was already annoying enough to have turned into a woman, and now she was being asked to practice deportment. Wasn't this intentionally trying to embarrass her?
"If you don't want to teach, I can learn it myself, but don't even think about making me learn some messy things," Ye Liuyun said with great dissatisfaction.
"Sigh! Fine, fine, fine. Suit yourself. If you don't want to learn, then don't. Anyway, when you realize it's embarrassing later, it will be you who is uncomfortable, not me. I will teach you the Cultivation method now." Lin Qingyou did not intend to force Ye Liuyun to learn.
Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes at Lin Qingyou. Then, Lin Qingyou was seen extending a finger and tapping it on the center of Ye Liuyun's eyebrows. Ye Liuyun involuntarily closed her eyes.
"The palm technique I am passing on to you is called 'Falling Leaf Flying Flower Palm,' and the movement technique is called 'Drifting Delicate Cloud Steps.' Because of the issue with the Eternal Youth Technique, the power within your body cannot be increased, so the power of this palm technique only has the strength of the Early Stage of the Lingxi Realm. As for the footwork, that depends on whether you are diligent in your Cultivation..." Lin Qingyou explained the characteristics and power of these two methods while imparting the Cultivation methods.
At the same time, a scene began to play in Ye Liuyun's mind. The person in the scene was Lin Qingyou, personally demonstrating the routines of these two techniques.
How to put it? This set of palm techniques, combined with footwork, looked very much like a dance, pleasing to the eye. However, Ye Liuyun also knew that any routine had to be applied flexibly. Each move and stance, when taken out individually, indeed resembled a dance.
Because Lin Qingyou transmitted her cultivation insights to Ye Liuyun through her God-Mind, Ye Liuyun saw everything very clearly. She understood how to cultivate after just one viewing.
After the transmission of cultivation was complete, Lin Qingyou withdrew her finger.
"Alright, go practice on your own. How far you can get depends on your own perseverance. Oh, right, didn't Yunxia Sect give you two cultivation methods? Take some time to look at them. It's necessary to learn Yunxia Sect's techniques, otherwise, you might be suspected later." After saying this, Lin Qingyou returned to the ring.
As for Ye Liuyun, she closed her eyes and began to cultivate in sync with the images in her mind. Only by familiarizing her body with the routines and footwork could she truly master them.
Ye Liuyun was in a Forest of Fallen Leaves. It was very quiet here, with leaves constantly falling from the surrounding trees. Ye Liuyun's body moved with her mind, practicing each move and stance repeatedly, and her speed grew faster and faster.
The stiff movements became smoother with each repeated execution, and her footwork became more stable.
"Is this what training is like? It feels really good, much more comfortable than sitting and refining medicine all the time." It only took Ye Liuyun three days to go from practicing with her eyes closed to practicing with her eyes open.
It only took a week to go from unfamiliarity to complete mastery, but this was just mastering the routines. Routines have no destructive power; the speed and strength are completely insufficient.
However, Ye Liuyun knew that developing true power was not something that could be achieved overnight. When she was in the Mortal World, Lin Aoxue had forcibly made her learn martial arts for a period.
But because she was always lazy, she only had a half-baked grasp of the routines. She suddenly regretted it a little, wondering why she hadn't practiced more with Lin Aoxue back then. Of course, during the period when she had become a woman, she completely gave up practicing martial arts for fear of her identity being discovered.
Days passed like this. Ye Liuyun rarely returned to her residence. When she was tired of training, she would go back to the Alchemy Pavilion. When she was tired of alchemy, she would return to the Back Mountain to continue training.
This world also has a cycle of four seasons.
Ye Liuyun also switched back and forth between alchemy and training. If nothing else, Ye Liuyun certainly had perseverance. Whether it was raining or snowing, whether it was cold or hot, Ye Liuyun never missed a day of training when she was supposed to—half a month refining medicine, half a month training.
During this time, she wanted to find Lin Aoxue, but unfortunately, Lin Aoxue was in the Inner Sect, and as an Entry Disciple, she couldn't enter the Inner Sect unless Lin Aoxue came out to find her.
She was turned away several times, so she reluctantly decided to temporarily ignore Lin Aoxue and focus on her own matters.
However, what Ye Liuyun didn't realize was that during her long-term cultivation of the Falling Leaf Flying Flower Palm and the Drifting Cloud Step, her figure and movements were becoming less and less like a man's.
Perhaps this was intentional on Lin Qingyou's part, as both of these cultivation methods were of the soft and feminine type, not the vigorous and masculine methods. Long-term cultivation, combined with the fact that she was already a woman, made it almost impossible for her to maintain her former masculine appearance.
Unless someone reminded her every day, but unfortunately, no one reminded her or found her strange, because she was now a pure-looking, gentle-tempered girl. Outsiders would not say to her, "Why are you becoming more and more like a woman?"
This was a subtle physical change that Ye Liuyun herself couldn't perceive.
Thus, three years of Entry Disciple cultivation life passed by unknowingly. To Ye Liuyun, it felt as if only a few months had passed, not three years at all.
"All disciples who entered three years ago, please gather at the Sect Training Grounds. The assessment for becoming a formal disciple is about to begin." A majestic voice echoed from above Yunxia Sect.
