Most of the content in this book is still fun and funny, but the serious content will definitely remain serious.
Maybe I am tired of writing transformation articles with serious themes in recent years, and this kind of subject matter is not popular among pineapple buns, so I tried to write a less serious and light-hearted transformation article. I hope you like it.
If you come across content you don’t like later, I hope you won’t take it too seriously unless it’s toxic.
Because the platform currently does not support VIP chapter content modification, there are some unimportant flaws in the plot that readers need to selectively ignore.
If it is content that I have forgotten, I will usually explain and fill in the gaps later.

Chapter 66 Road to Heaven
In the early morning, the sun was shining brightly over the mountain. Fuyun Mountain was filled with a lot of mist. The sunlight penetrated the mist and formed colorful rainbows everywhere on the mountain. The scenery today was extremely charming.
It is a pleasant thing to do a mountain climbing test during such a beautiful scenery.
"The promotion assessment for the four sects' intermediate disciples has now officially begun," Yun Hui announced loudly.
Following Yun Hui's order, the disciples of the four major sects immediately ran to the mountain steps. The first to act were the disciples of the other three major sects. The disciples of the Yunxia Sect were relatively calm and did not follow the main group to rush up the steps.
Because they had climbed this place once, they knew that the stairs were not so easy to climb. Moreover, the elders of the sect had warned them that the gravity of the stairs this time would be several times stronger than when they first entered.
The moment the disciples from the three major sects stepped onto the stairs, they knew the mystery of the stairs. Their bodies became noticeably heavier, but this gravity did not affect their movements.
The total number of junior outer disciples from the four sects was more than a thousand, so the number of people going up the mountain was not that many compared to the time of the Yunxia Sect's entrance examination.
After the disciples of the three sects disappeared from their sight, Ye Liuyun and his companions began to climb.
However, the moment they stepped onto the stairs, the disciples were stunned for a moment, because they did not feel the gravity of the stairs. The gravity seemed to be even smaller than when they entered the door.
"Strange? Why can't I feel the gravity? Didn't Deacon Yuncheng say that the gravity has increased several times?" The disciples murmured in confusion.
Ye Liuyun also felt very relaxed. The steps did not feel like they had any gravity at all, let alone added gravity.
"Fellow brothers and sisters, do you think this staircase has gravity? Could it be that the sect is giving us special treatment?" Ye Liuyun greeted the fellow disciples around him with a smile.
"Oh, it's Junior Sister Ye. It's strange to say, but I also feel that these stairs have no gravity. What about you?" A young man responded to Ye Liuyun, then turned his gaze to other fellow disciples.
But almost all of his fellow disciples shook their heads. They felt that the stairs had almost no sense of gravity.
"I think we should keep moving forward. Maybe our cultivation has improved over the years. After all, we were all mortals when we climbed the mountain back then." said a disciple.
"Well, let's go." The disciples walked forward leisurely, without speeding up, and moved forward at a constant speed.
In fact, with their level of cultivation, they would have to reach at least halfway, which is more than 4,000 meters away from Floating Cloud Mountain, before they could feel the pressure.
The disciples of the three major sects were no longer visible. They were almost running upwards, fearing that they would be overtaken.
After all, they represent their own sects. Although they only need to reach the end on time, they want to overshadow the other three sects.
Disciples of the Yunxia Sect who have climbed the stairs before all know that speeding up is meaningless. There are still nearly ten hours left to the end. Why rush?
If you consume your physical energy here, it will be difficult to move forward later. Later on, you can only rely on perseverance and spiritual power.
Most of these disciples were talking to Ye Liuyun.
“Junior Sister Ye, I heard that you are an alchemist, right? Hey, if I’m short of elixirs later, can you sell me some elixirs at a price lower than the sect’s price?” A young man at the peak of the Lingxi realm asked with a smile.
"Pills? No problem, no problem. Brothers and sisters, if you need pills, you can come to me privately after this assessment. As for the price of pills, I guarantee it will be cheaper than the price in the sect's pill shop." Ye Liuyun promised.
Ye Liuyun's words won the favor of the disciples present. After all, it is necessary for cultivators to take pills. If they can be cheaper, they can buy more pills and their cultivation speed can be further improved.
Ye Liuyun is good-looking and is already a goddess in the eyes of many male disciples. Now Ye Liuyun is willing to sell pills to them at a low price. How can this not increase their favorability?
"Thank you, Junior Sister Ye. Our contribution is totally insufficient every month. If it could be cheaper, we could save some contribution. But the most important thing is, after I am promoted to an intermediate disciple this time, I will have to go out on a mission. I don't know if I can make it to the end alive." The young man sighed.
As soon as these words were spoken, the emotions of everyone present became quite complicated.
Looking at the Yunxia Sect's main hall, the cultivators from the four sects were all using the Xuanguan technique to observe the situation on the mountain path.
"Master Yun, what's wrong with the disciples of your Yunxia Sect? Why don't they have any vitality? They all look like old men taking a walk. Could it be that they neglected their training and their physical strength is not strong enough?" Zi Lan said sarcastically.
Because the disciples of their Zixia Sect were the fastest runners and had already reached a distance of one thousand meters.
"Haha, Sect Master Zi Lan, the Floating Cloud Stairs of our Yunxia Sect are not as simple as you think. With their cultivation level, they haven't felt pressured yet. Just keep watching." Yun Yun said lightly.
Almost all the cultivators from the Yunxia Sect present had climbed this staircase before, and they all understood that this was a meaningless waste of energy. When they needed to consume their strength and energy later, they would realize how precious the energy they had wasted before was.
An hour later, the vanguard troops had reached an altitude of four thousand meters. However, after reaching this altitude, they obviously felt their bodies suddenly become heavier.
"This? The body is a bit heavy." The disciple of Zixia Sect said with a frown.
But the gravity here only made them feel a little uncomfortable. It was not enough to make them unable to move, so they continued to move forward.
But from here on, every time they climbed a step, the pressure on their bodies increased, and the spiritual power in their bodies was forced to circulate to resist the pressure.
Another hour passed.
During this one hour, the monks from the three sects only climbed about seven thousand meters, and each of them looked extremely tired, as if their feet were tied with lead blocks.
"Damn it, we miscalculated. No wonder the people from the Yunxia Sect didn't speed up the climb from the beginning. We wasted our energy in vain and feel so uncomfortable." A disciple from the three sects said uncomfortably.
But at this moment, Ye Liuyun and others caught up.
"Hey? Isn't this the fellow Taoist from the three sects? What's wrong with you? This place is still more than 2,000 meters away from the mountain gate. Are you planning to fail even in the first level?" The disciples of the Yunxia Sect laughed at the breathless cultivators from the three sects.
And while laughing at them, he easily surpassed them and soon left them behind.
"Impossible? How could the disciples of their Yunxia Sect have it so easy? There must be something fishy. Is the Yunxia Sect giving its own disciples a backdoor? We don't accept it." The disciples of the three sects were dumbfounded as they saw Ye Liuyun and the others easily surpass them.
Even the top leaders of the three sects in the Yunxia Sect's main hall were stunned on the spot.
"This? Sect Master Yun? Didn't you say that the pressure would double after walking half the height? But why don't the disciples of your Yunxia Sect feel any pressure at all?" The faces of the three sect masters began to look ugly.
They felt that it must be the Yunxia Sect that was secretly doing something wrong and opening a back door for their own disciples, thus embarrassing the three sects.
In fact, Yun Yun and the others were also confused at this time. The pressure this time had increased several times, but why did none of the disciples of their Yunxia Sect react?
"Do you think I would use a back door for such a small matter? I think we should just keep watching. It's too early to draw conclusions now." Yun Yun said.
Since Yun Yun had said so, the leaders of the three sects could only continue to watch calmly.
Sure enough, when the disciples of Yunxia Sect came to a distance of less than two kilometers from the gate of Yunxia Sect, they also began to feel the pressure.
"Eh? Why did the pressure suddenly increase?" The speed of the Yunxia Sect disciples also began to slow down.
At this time, it was around three o'clock in the afternoon, which was also the time when the sun was the hottest.
Ye Liuyun has been following behind everyone in a low-key manner. In fact, she did not feel any pressure at all, because her major was physical fitness, which gave her an advantage at this time.
I just didn't want to be the first to stand out, so I just followed the crowd at a leisurely pace.
Chapter 67 Self-defeating
In fact, Ye Liuyun was also a little puzzled at this time, why the physical strength of the disciples of their Yunxia Sect was much stronger on average than that of the other three major sects.
"Master, do you know what the reason is? It seems that their physical strength is not bad." Ye Liuyun looked at his fellow disciples around him and asked in his heart.
Lin Qingyou naturally knew the reason.
"Nonsense, you don't think that the strange phenomena in heaven and earth that you have created over the years have no effect on them, right? First of all, the ice, fire and rain that you created the first time have strengthened their bones and muscles. The second time you created the body tempering with thunder, it strengthened their bodies again. Then, the long-term interference of thunder and lightning has improved their willpower. Naturally, they are not comparable to the other three sects." Lin Qingyou explained with a bit of a smile.
When Ye Liuyun heard this, he thought to himself, maybe he had helped these fellow disciples unintentionally?
"So that's how it is? Then I have to refine more Thunder-Attracting Pills in the future. This way, if they know that I increased their physical strength while refining the pills, they will thank me to death." Ye Liuyun grinned.
"Forget it. You can't do this kind of lightning body tempering too frequently. It's not good to do it too frequently." Lin Qingyou said with a smile.
As for the Yunxia Sect's main hall, everyone no longer suspected that the Yunxia Sect was secretly behind the scenes, because this was obviously caused by the average physique of the Yunxia Sect's disciples being much stronger than that of the disciples of the other three sects.
“Interesting. I didn’t expect that the disciples of your Yunxia Sect still have time to cultivate their physical fitness. It seems that this level will not be difficult for them.” Sect Master Xi Ri said, stroking his beard.
They were indeed too arbitrary just now. Now they understand what happened.
Yun Yun and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. They certainly did not teach their disciples to cultivate their physiques, but the strange phenomena in the sect in recent years seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally improved the physical strength of the sect's disciples, especially the time when they were tempered by heavenly thunder.
Of course, Yun Yun would definitely not tell this kind of thing in public. After all, what happened to their Yunxia Sect was too weird, and it was not convenient to tell the other three sects about it.
The disciples of Yunxia Sect soon left the disciples of the other three sects far behind, which made them feel very accomplished, and their previous worries gradually disappeared.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the disciples of Yunxia Sect were less than 500 meters away from the sect gate. However, these last 500 meters seemed so close yet so far away that it was difficult to get close.
This has already made many disciples unable to bear it. The intensity of the last 500 meters is several times the pressure of the previous 7,000 meters.
Even the disciples of the Yunxia Sect had to start taking medicinal pills to fight back, because their physical energy consumption was too great and their own spiritual power was no longer enough to give them more power.
"I can't take it anymore. I'm so tired." Someone sat down on the steps, sweating profusely.
In just these last two thousand meters, they had almost used up all the pills that could restore their spiritual power.
The reason why this assessment does not prohibit the use of elixirs is that elixirs can only replenish spiritual power, which in turn can be used to stimulate potential. If you have finished taking the elixirs and still have not reached the end, you can only rely on perseverance.
In fact, the disciples from the other three sects were almost too tired to walk, and it was destined that a group of disciples would fail the assessment.
They were helpless. It was extremely rare for the disciples of Yunxia Sect to persist at this speed until now.
"My fellow brothers and sisters, please hold on a little longer. Don't sit there. If you sit down, you won't want to get up. Keep moving forward." Ye Liuyun looked at his fellow disciple who sat down in front of him and didn't want to leave and began to dissuade him.
"Junior Sister Ye, we really have no strength left." The disciples said uncomfortably.
Ye Liuyun pondered for a moment, and then as he passed by them, he suddenly handed them a pill.
This stunned these weak disciples, and they quickly took a look at the pills in their hands. They were the Rejuvenating Pills.
These disciples looked at Ye Liuyun's thin back as he walked away, thought for a moment, and then swallowed the pill in one gulp. As soon as the pill entered their bodies, the spiritual power in their bodies was quickly replenished, and in less than a moment, their spiritual power was full.
"This? What kind of elixir is this? It can restore my spiritual power instantly?" The disciples were very surprised after taking the elixir.
This gave them strength again, and they took a deep breath and began to climb again.
Of course, Ye Liuyun’s actions definitely made the audience in the hall a little puzzled.
"Why is this little girl stuffing pills into her fellow disciples' pockets? Hey, Sect Master Yun, isn't this against the rules?" Sect Master Xi Ri questioned.
When Yun Yun saw that the person who secretly gave the elixir to his fellow disciples was Ye Liuyun, he immediately understood what he meant.
"There is no rule in the competition that fellow disciples cannot help each other. Your disciples can do the same." Yun Yun replied.
There is nothing wrong with this answer. When they formulated the rules, they did not prohibit the use of elixirs to restore strength, and naturally they did not prohibit fellow disciples from helping each other.
The main thing is that as a junior outer sect disciple, how many pills can he have? How can he have extra pills to help others?
"What a kind little sister, she is very cute." Some returning disciples of Yunxia Sect looked at Ye Liuyun and said with a smile.
The last 500 meters took everyone nearly an hour. There were less than three hours left until sunset, and the disciples of the Yunxia Sect had already reached the end of the stairs one after another.
"Ah! We're finally here. I'm so tired. I don't want to go through this kind of test again." The disciples who climbed to the end collapsed on the platform in exhaustion.
Yun Hui was quite satisfied when he saw his disciples leading the way to the end.
Even those disciples who wanted to give up climbing persisted after taking Ye Liuyun's elixir. In the end, no disciple of Yunxia Sect failed the assessment and all of them passed.
Of course, more than a dozen of them were able to hold on because they took Ye Liuyun’s pills.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun was not tired at all, but he just didn't want to attract attention, so he leaned against the wall and pretended to be out of breath.
"Junior Sister Ye, thank you for your help." Although the disciples who had benefited from Ye Liuyun were almost exhausted, they still forced themselves to endure the fatigue and came to Ye Liuyun to express their gratitude.
If it weren't for Ye Liuyun's elixir, they would probably have failed.
"It's okay. It's only natural for fellow disciples to help each other." Ye Liuyun smiled slightly.
"We are so grateful for your kindness. If you encounter difficulties or troubles in the future, Junior Sister Ye, we will definitely help you." The disciples promised.
Ye Liuyun smiled slightly and didn't say much.
They waited for the disciples from other sects to come up. After another hour, disciples from the three major sects finally climbed up.
After they came up, they felt very unconvinced and aggrieved, but they were too tired to question the disciples of Yunxia Sect. Yunhui kept looking at the sunset until it completely disappeared, and then Yunhui announced.
"The time is up. The first level of the Heavenly Road test is over. Those who have not reached the end at this time have failed the test." Yun Hui waved his hand, and the pressure on the steps disappeared. At least seventy or eighty junior disciples from the three sects failed the test.
All members of the Yunxia Sect passed. In the main hall, everyone from the Yunxia Sect looked very happy, while Zi Lan and others looked very unhappy.
Because this illustrates a problem, the average quality of the disciples of their three sects is not as high as that of the Yunxia Sect, and they even lack mutual help among fellow disciples.
However, there weren’t many people helping each other in the Yunxia Sect. Only Ye Liuyun was helping those people. Otherwise, more than a dozen of them would have failed the assessment.
“Haha, that’s all for today. You three can decide how to deal with the disciples who failed the assessment. We will continue tomorrow.” Yun Yun smiled slightly, then put away the Xuan Guang Technique.
