The gate to the inner sect is enclosed by a barrier, and only inner sect disciples can enter. So if Ye Liuyun had not become an inner sect disciple, even an inner sect disciple would not be able to take her in. She would need the token of an elder.
The inner gate is a bit like a city within a city. After arriving here, the two guarding disciples first saluted to Nalan Yan, and then spoke according to the rules.
"Senior Sister Nalan, outer disciples cannot enter the inner sect without permission."
Nalan Yan laughed and took out Yunxiao's token.
"My master, Elder Yunxiao, has specially allowed Junior Sister Ye to become a core inner sect disciple." Nalan Yan explained.
The two guards were stunned when they heard this. They looked at Ye Liuyun carefully. Ye Liuyun was indeed good-looking, but his cultivation was too low. He was only at the initial stage of Lingxi Realm. Yet, he could become a core disciple of the inner sect. This was a huge achievement.
"This? I see. Congratulations to this senior sister." The two were stunned for a moment, then quickly made way.
Although they were surprised, this matter was not something they could interfere in.
Seeing the two people make way, Nalan Yan used the token to open the barrier of the portal and led Ye Liuyun into the inner door.
This inner gate was actually not the first time that Ye Liuyun came. Last time, Lin Qingyou took her in once late at night in order to deal with Qi Chaoying. However, that time was at night and she was looking for trouble, so she didn't observe the layout of the inner gate much.
But after entering from the main gate, I found that the scene layout of the inner gate was much more grand and beautiful than that of the outer gate. However, the inner gate was not particularly lively, and there were not many disciples walking on the road. The main reason was that the inner gate was the residence of the inner gate disciples, and the number of inner gate disciples was much less than that of outer gate disciples.
The inner sect disciples spend most of their time practicing, so this place seems relatively quiet, but it is surrounded by clouds and mist, with many peaks, and has a more immortal flavor than the outer sect.
"There are so few people." After Ye Liuyun came in, he only saw scattered disciples flying in the sky.
"It's normal. Usually there aren't many people walking around. Plus, there have been many people changing genders in the past few days, so they're even more reluctant to go out. I can understand that." Nalan Yan said.
"Okay, what is the difference between the inner gate and the outer gate? Is there a difference in treatment?" Ye Liuyun was quite curious.
Lin Aoxue became a direct disciple right from the beginning, and was specially taught by Yun Yun, so Lin Aoxue had never understood the rules of the inner sect.
However, the inner gate and the outer gate are not on the same mountain. After they penetrated the barrier, there was a misty sea of clouds in front of them. They could either fly over or walk over the iron chain bridge in front of them. It looked a little mysterious.
"The difference between the inner gate and the outer gate is that for disciples at the same level, the treatment of the inner gate is much higher. Moreover, disciples above the core level have their own separate mountains as their training grounds. The inner gate has a separate martial arts library and can enter and exit freely. Anyway, it is definitely much better than the outer gate. I will explain it to you slowly. Let's go." Nalan Yan explained.
Speaking of Wan, Nalan Yan did not take Ye Liuyun to fly over, but strolled across the chain bridge, chatting as they walked. The outer gate is called the outer gate, but in fact it is a public place for the inner gate disciples.
In addition to their daily practice, the inner sect disciples also have a place to carry out activities in the outer sect hall.
However, disciples like Nalan Yan spend most of their time in the hall, and only return to the inner gate when they need to practice in seclusion.
After a while, the two arrived at the main peak of the inner sect, which was the mountain where Yun Yun was located. The affairs of the inner sect disciples were all handled in this area of the main peak.
After arriving here, there are a little more disciples, but they are just some patrolling disciples and guard disciples, and it is still very deserted.
The main peak of the Yunxia Sect is Yunmiao Peak, which is the highest point in the Floating Cloud Mountains and is several hundred meters higher than the outer gate.
Led by Nalan Yan, the two quickly arrived at the inner disciple management office. This place was usually deserted and was considered a very quiet place.
"Uncle Master Zuo, it's time for a mission." Nalan Yan shouted inside as she came in.
After hearing this shout, a female cultivator from the first level of the Taoist Palace immediately showed up.
"Oh? It's Sister Nalan. Why did you suddenly come here to see me?" The female monk, who looked to be about 30 years old, asked with a smile.
"How can I have that kind of time? I really have a mission. This is my master's special core disciple, Ye Liuyu. I'm bringing her here to go through the inner door formalities." Nalan Yan pointed at Ye Liuyun and explained.
Chapter 133: Extravagant Style
The woman surnamed Zuo was stunned, and then looked Ye Liuyun up and down, but after this look, she felt very strange.
"Early stage of Lingxi realm? This? Sister Nalan, I'm not being nosy, but this little girl is only in the early stage of Lingxi realm. Are you sure your master wants to accept her as his personal disciple?" The woman surnamed Zuo asked in confusion.
It was normal for her to have doubts. After all, this kind of thing was rare in the Yunxia Sect, or it had basically never happened before. There was no precedent for an outer disciple in the Lingxi Realm to be directly promoted to a core inner disciple.
But she didn't mean that Yunxiao violated the rules. According to the sect rules, the elder in charge could make an exception and allow disciples to be promoted to the inner sect, even if they were direct disciples, but there were restrictions on the number of places.
“Uncle Master Zuo, we in the Alchemy Pavilion don’t judge qualifications based on cultivation level. You should understand that.” Nalan Yan explained.
The woman surnamed Zuo was stunned for a moment, then she immediately understood.
"Oh, I understand. Okay, come with me, little girl." The woman surnamed Zuo smiled slightly, then motioned Ye Liuyun to follow her in.
The procedure for entering the inner gate is more complicated than the outer gate, and there are more procedures. It took nearly ten minutes to complete the entry procedures. At the same time, Ye Liuyun's appearance was upgraded again.
In the eyes of normal people, the attire of the disciples of the Yunxia Sect is becoming more and more extravagant, or to put it bluntly, more and more complicated. For Ye Liuyun, every upgrade of status is no less than a new experience.
Of course, it is the same in the secular world. The higher the status, the more accessories one has and the more gorgeous the clothes one wears. This is a change from casual to formal.
Even in modern times on Earth, gorgeous clothing is generally not seen on men, but only on women.
The appearance of direct disciples is more like that of core disciples, with an additional shawl. Moreover, the patterns on their bodies also vary depending on the different halls.
The clothes are still made of white cloth with light blue patterns, but the patterns are no longer cloud patterns, but patterns of leaves and petals, so one can tell at a glance that Ye Liuyun is the core disciple of the Medicine Refining Pavilion.
In addition to the headwear being different from that of outer disciples, they also need to wear earrings, and their hairstyle has become more complicated and different from before. (Styling reference cover)
No matter how I describe Ye Liuyun's look, it is that it lacks a sense of girlishness and has a sense of maturity. I don't know how to put it. Anyway, if the clothing styles of outer disciples are those of ordinary girls, then the clothing styles of core female disciples, on the contrary, highlight the feminine charm, which is not as concealing as before.
Ye Liuyun discovered this problem in the secular world. The clothing style of the Tang Kingdom is more similar to the clothing style of a certain dynasty on Earth.
The clothing styles for young girls are relatively conservative, but after the age of sixteen and until they get married, their clothing styles begin to change gradually.
Ye Liuyun found it pleasing to the eye to see Lin Aoxue dressed like this, but it was a different experience to see himself dressed like this.
She was suddenly freed from being wrapped tightly and felt cool, which made it difficult for her to adapt immediately.
The style of Ye Liuyun's dress is off-shoulder and low-cut, of course not so low as to show her waist. Anyway, for Ye Liuyun, it is just a little revealing and exaggerated, with too many accessories, much more complicated than the clothes of outer disciples.
"Okay, the entry procedures have been completed. With Sister Nalan leading you, I'm sure you will soon understand the situation of the inner gate." Deacon Zuo couldn't help laughing when he saw Ye Liuyun covering his chest with his hands.
She felt that the girl in front of her seemed a little too shy. Of course, they were also a little shy when they first came into contact with this kind of more open clothing.
Nalan Yan looked at Ye Liuyun walking out with a red face, feeling a little confused.
"Junior Sister Ye, what's wrong with you?" Nalan asked.
Ye Liuyun was about to speak, but Deacon Zuo spoke for her first.
"What else can we do? This little girl has revealed too much. Her reaction is similar to yours back then. You are not used to the polarized feeling of Tang Dynasty's clothing." Deacon Zuo said with a smile.
Nalan Yan saw Ye Liuyun covering his chest and immediately understood.
Although girls on Earth wear less, it is two different things. The feeling of others wearing less and yourself wearing less is different.
"Oh, hehe, so that's the case. Junior Sister Ye, don't worry too much, just get used to it." Nalan Yan laughed.
"Hey! That's not the case. It's just that my breasts are a little big, and this bra makes me feel a little uncomfortable." Ye Liuyun put down his hands and said with an uncomfortable look on his face.
Nalan Yan looked Ye Liuyun up and down. Indeed, Ye Liuyun's outfit had a hint of maternal charm.
"Okay, it will be fine after a while. We all went through this. When you were at home, your mother should have dressed similarly." Nalan Yan asked with a smile.
"How can they be the same?" Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes.
Nalan Yan giggled and stopped teasing Ye Liuyun. She led Ye Liuyun to the residence arranged for him by the inner gate. Ye Liuyun still had to go back to move in later.
By the way, since Ye Liuyun’s realm was not high enough and she couldn’t fly, the inner sect arranged a cloud crane for her. The cloud crane is a kind of spiritual beast raised by the Yunxia Sect. If she can’t fly, she can use the cloud crane as a means of transportation.
This is something to be happy about.
However, when they were about to go to the mountain where Ye Liuyun lived, they happened to meet Qi Chaoying who happened to be walking over. No matter where this guy went, there were at least four people following him.
It is the style of a disciple directly taught by the master, but it does not seem necessary. After all, Lin Aoxue does not have such style.
"Eh? Isn't this Junior Sister Lin's sister? I remember her name was Ye Liuyun. Junior Sister Nalan, isn't Junior Sister Ye an intermediate outer sect disciple? How come she was suddenly promoted to a core inner sect disciple? This gap is quite big." Qi Chaoying looked at Ye Liuyun and smiled slightly.
After Qi Chaoying turned into a woman, there was an evil look in her eyes, which made Ye Liuyun shiver inexplicably.
"Damn, this guy has turned into a woman, but why is it that the look in his eyes still makes people's hair stand on end?" Ye Liuyun cursed in his heart.
"Oh, Senior Sister Qi, my master has specially allowed Junior Sister Ye to be promoted to a core disciple." Nalan Yan replied calmly.
When Qi Chaoying heard this, she immediately showed an unhappy expression towards Ye Liuyun. After all, not long ago, she was the one who sent someone to win over Ye Liuyun, but she didn't expect that such a short time later, Ye Liuyun immediately became Yunxiao's man.
"Interesting, interesting, haha, then I wish Junior Sister Ye's days in the inner sect will be more colorful." After taking a deep look at Ye Liuyun, Qi Chaoying let out an evil laugh like a witch, and then led his people away.
In her eyes, Ye Liuyun was just a small figure, so she naturally didn't take him seriously. However, judging from her expression, Ye Liuyun would definitely be in trouble.
However, as long as Ye Liuyun rejected Qi Chaoying, she would be in trouble no matter where she was, but in the inner sect, she would not be too blatant.
"This guy? After becoming a woman, he doesn't even pretend anymore." Nalan Yan said with a frown.
Indeed, when she was a man, Qi Chaoying would pay attention to her image and her speech, but now, what kind of feeling does Qi Chaoying give people? Anyway, she is a woman who is not easy to mess with. She has the coldness of a venomous snake and the cunning of a vixen. Together, she doesn't look like a proper female monk, and is full of evil spirit.
"No wonder people say that her personality changed drastically after she became a woman. It seems to be true." Ye Liuyun also said.
"Who said it wasn't true? Junior Sister Ye, you have to be careful. Unless there is something else going on, it's best not to leave the Alchemy Pavilion alone." Nalan Yan said.
Ye Liuyun nodded, and after a while, Ye Liuyun arrived at his residence. The mountains here were obviously man-made, not naturally formed. It was very special, but it was quiet enough, and there was an entire formation covering the top of the mountain.
In the future, if you want to synthesize pills, you probably can’t do it in the sect. You have to find a place nearby to refine the pills. If you synthesize pills here, you will definitely be discovered.
This place is not small and is very close to Lin Aoxue. It has a wide view and can see the entire outer gate.
"This place is nice." Ye Liuyun picked up the token and opened the defensive formation here, then took a casual look with Nalan Yan. Ye Liuyun was not the kind of person who knew how to enjoy life, so she didn't care about the houses and buildings.
"That's right. The inner gate is definitely quieter than the outer gate. Let's go through the necessary procedures. Let's go get a cloud crane for you first. Otherwise, it will be troublesome for you to travel between the inner and outer gates." Nalan Yan said again.
So the two of them left the inner gate again and headed for the spirit beast garden in the public area. In addition to the mounts that Ye Liuyun and his friends raised here, there were also large white birds as big as ostriches. These birds looked a bit like cranes, but their heads were different.
The disciple in charge of the spirit beast garden selected one for Ye Liuyun, and then handed Ye Liuyun a spirit beast bag. He could call Yunhe out when needed, and put it in the spirit beast bag when not needed. It was very convenient.
The elders of the sect all have their own mounts, but they only use them when they are traveling or have some leisure time.
Ye Liuyun was very happy after receiving his mount. These cloud cranes were very obedient and understood human nature. When he was brought to Ye Liuyun by the disciple in charge of the Spirit Beast Garden, he knew that the person in front of him would be his future master.
Yun He lay down obediently and rubbed Ye Liuyun's cheek with his neck. Ye Liuyun knew what he meant, so he reached out and touched his head.
"Well, I know what you mean. From now on, you can be called Liusu. Are you a male bird or a female bird?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Nalan Yan next to him wanted to laugh.
"What male bird or female bird? This is a female cloud crane. The disciples of the Spirit Beast Garden will not give male cloud cranes to female disciples." Nalan Yan said.
"Oh, so that's the case, Senior Sister, let me try it first." Ye Liuyun greeted her and then sat on Liusu's back.
Liusu easily lifted Ye Liuyun up on her back, and Ye Liuyun quickly put his arms around Liusu's neck.
"Okay, let's go and fly a circle to let me get used to it." Ye Liuyun gestured.
When Liusu heard this, she immediately chirped loudly, then spread her wings, flapped them, and slowly flew up. She was probably afraid that Ye Liuyun would not be able to adapt, so Liusu did not move too much, but slowly increased her speed.
Don't be fooled by Liusu's appearance. She has reached the middle stage of the Wheel Sea realm, and she can also practice and continue to improve her cultivation.
Chapter 134 The Monkey and the Peach Tree
Logically speaking, sitting on the cloud crane and flying in the sky is more in line with the image of an immortal in Ye Liuyun's mind. After all, there are immortal legends on Earth. The immortals in the legends on Earth almost all ride on mounts. The higher the realm, the more powerful the mount they ride.
After Ye Liuyun came into contact with the cultivation of immortals, he had a feeling that the legends on Earth might all be true, but they were just not at that level and could not come into contact with them.
"Hehe, that's great. I'll have a way to get around from now on." Ye Liuyun said happily.
If she knew that she could get a flying mount by entering the inner gate, she would have wanted to enter the inner gate a long time ago. Liusu flew very steadily, and there was no need for Ye Liuyun to hold Liusu's neck tightly. Liusu knew that Ye Liuyun could not fly, so she would release her own strength to hold Ye Liuyun.
After adjusting for a while, Ye Liuyun signaled Liusu to take her down.
"Ah! It's so comfortable. I can finally fly freely, although it's not my own power." Ye Liuyun jumped down from Liusu's back and sighed.
"Haha, okay, junior sister, I'll help you move next." Nalan Yan said again.
However, Ye Liuyun directly rejected this proposal, because her residence was a secret and could not be seen by Nalan Yan for the time being. Although Nalan Yan should not be able to see anything, it was still better to be careful.
"Eh? You don't need this, Senior Sister Nalan Yan. I don't have much stuff either. I can get it myself. After I move the things, I will go back to the Medicine Pavilion immediately." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
When Nalan Yan heard Ye Liuyun say this, she did not force him.
"Okay then. I'll go back to the Medicine Pavilion to report to my master first." Nalan Yan replied.
After saying this, she flew up into the sky and left.
After she left, Ye Liuyun mounted Liusu again and flew to his residence in the outer sect. However, her riding on the cloud crane must have attracted the attention of the disciples, and many people recognized Ye Liuyun.
"Eh? Isn't that Junior Sister Ye? What? Why is she wearing the uniform of an inner sect core disciple? Looking at the pattern, it's the logo of the Medicine Refinery Pavilion. Could it be that Junior Sister Ye has been officially accepted as a disciple by the Medicine Refinery Pavilion?" The disciples who knew Ye Liuyun were all very surprised.
Ye Liuyun could hear the discussions of the disciples below. Looking at their surprised expressions, Ye Liuyun became proud again.
"Oh! It seems that having a higher status is also a very good feeling." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
After Ye Liuyun flew into the area where the outer female disciples lived, those female disciples saw Ye Liuyun and immediately ran towards his residence in surprise.
After Ye Liuyun landed and got off Liusu, the disciples who knew Ye Liuyun were all stunned.
"This? Junior Sister Ye? It's you, you, you were promoted to the inner sect?" There were not many female disciples in the outer sect, and they basically knew all of them. The one who spoke was Yu Yuan.
