"Ah? So outrageous? Who have changed? Tell me." Ye Liuyun couldn't help but ask.
Luo Xia immediately told Ye Liuyun about those acquaintances who had turned into women and did not change back, and the more Ye Liuyun listened, the more speechless he became.
Lin Aoxue on the side was also more and more shocked as she listened. Luo Xia and the others were already married, and many of them had swapped genders as husband and wife. It was outrageous.
Among the people Rorschach talked about, there were many outrageous situations. What happened was that during this period, many of those friends who had become women had been forced to marry by their families.
After hearing this, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue looked at each other. Although it was outrageous, this was the reality of the secular world. Ordinary people in the secular world didn't care whether you were a man to a woman, or a woman to a man.
As long as you can reproduce, don't expect your family to listen to you. At most, they will let you adapt for a period of time, and when the time is up, they will force you to get married.
"You mean, Xiaomo is already married? That's so outrageous? Will he agree?" Ye Liuyun couldn't believe it.
Xiaomo is also an acquaintance of Ye Liuyun.
"Oh! She definitely didn't agree, so her family bewitched her and stuffed her into the bridal sedan. When she woke up, she had already been in a fait accompli with someone else. She is now the young lady of a merchant family in the neighboring Qianniu Town." Luo Xia said with a twitching face.
Ye Liuyun was choked. Such a thing might sound outrageous, but in the future, this situation will become the norm.
It is unrealistic that there are suddenly so many more women in the secular world and none of them want to get married. According to Rorschach, there are hundreds of households and seven or eight thousand people in Qixia Town. Excluding the married ones, there are now at least two thousand more young women, all of whom have changed from men.
This gender change is very strange. It is said that men and women are treated equally, but in fact, most women have changed back to their original appearance, while most men have not changed back. It feels like balancing the number of men and women in an area. This is the case in almost all areas where humans gather.
"How's the situation at my family and Aoxue's family?" Ye Liuyun suddenly became a little worried about the situation at home.
"Oh, it's a bit strange to talk about this. It seems that this kind of situation hasn't happened too often between your two families. At least the heads of the Lin and Ye families are normal. It's just that after you two left, the inheritance of your two families was almost cut off. Fortunately, Young Master Suifeng has married and had children." Luo Xia said.
When this was mentioned, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue both started to have headaches. She suddenly wondered whether to take a secret look or go back directly. She felt that she would be scolded to death if she went back directly.
"This? I, Aoxue, do you think we should go back? Why do I feel like we'll be scolded if we go back?" Ye Liuyun had a toothache.
"You ask me? Who should I ask? Aren't you a pharmacist? Can you think of a way to see if there is any elixir that can make me pregnant? In this way, maybe my family can feel more at ease in the future." Lin Aoxue said in a voice transmission.
Ye Liuyun was choked again. She was not a man now, so how could she make Lin Aoxue pregnant?
"Okay, Sister Xue, Brother Yun, I won't disturb you for now. Tonight or tomorrow, I will find all my former friends and we can meet. I know that you two will not stay in Qixia Town for too long." Luo Xia said with a smile.
Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue nodded at the same time, then separated from Luo Xia. They walked into Qixia Town with trepidation. When they came in, they saw that there were obviously many more unfamiliar women than five years ago.
Many people can tell from their body language and clothing.
There was basically no change here except for the presence of many unfamiliar people. The two soon arrived at their doorstep. Their house was just across the street.
"Do you really want to go back?" Ye Liuyun was a little scared.
"I'm already back, what's the point of being sneaky? Besides, we are all cultivators now, why am I still afraid that they can keep me here?" Lin Aoxue rolled her eyes and walked straight to the door of her house.
Seeing Lin Aoxue like this, Ye Liuyun could only walk towards his door.
Soon, the servants' screams were heard in the mansions of the Lin and Ye families.
"Master and Madam, the young master is back home." The servant of the Ye family exclaimed.
"Master, Madam, and Miss are back." The same thing happened at the Lin family.
When the elders of the Lin family and the Ye family heard this voice, they were so surprised and surprised, because in their impression, people who go to cultivate immortals will basically never come back. But they didn't expect that Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue came back at the same time.
Lin Aoxue's situation was fine. Her return made her parents very happy. Even though they knew that their daughter could not stay at home, they were still happy. However, Ye Liuyun's treatment was a little worse.
Ye's mother and father were very happy to see their son after five years, but after the happiness, something else happened.
"You evil son of a bitch, get down on your knees." An angry shout was heard from the hall of the Ye family.
Looking inside, I saw Ye Liuyun kneeling in the lobby with a frustrated look on his face. Ye Suifeng and others were all here. Five years later, Ye Suifeng had a beard. Standing next to him was Ye Liuyun's sister-in-law.
"You evil creature, don't think that you are so great just because you became a disciple of Yunxia Sect and an immortal cultivator. In front of me, you are nothing. You know very well that there are many problems between us and the Ye family's inheritance, but you still go to cultivate immortality without caring about the future of our family. Now that you have left, why do you come back? Do you come back to irritate me?" The head of the Ye family said angrily.
Ye Liuyun knew that he was wrong, but he also had no way of expressing his grievances, so he could only bite the bullet and accept the scolding.
"Father, don't we already have an older brother? Why do you still care so much about inheritance?" Ye Liuyun said weakly.
"You are still talking back. We still have your elder brother in our family, but what about the Ye family? Tell me, what about the Ye family? Both our families are waiting for you and Aoxue to get married and continue the inheritance." The head of the Ye family didn't know what to say.
Ye's mother was sitting nearby and could only sigh continuously, but at this moment, an old man was supported by someone and walked in from outside.
"Shut up! My grandson has finally come back, and as soon as he comes back, you start lecturing him here. Is that appropriate? Xiao Yunzi, get up and don't listen to your old man's fart." This was a very kind old man, none other than Ye Laotian. Although he was eighty years old, he still looked very good.
"Grandpa." Ye Liuyun immediately ran over happily and gave his grandfather a hug.
To be honest, when they were in the Ye family, Old Master Ye's love for Ye Liuyun was unique.
"Father, you still spoil this kid. You have been spoiling him since he was young." The head of the Ye family said with a roll of his eyes.
"Now that things have come to this, what's the point in losing your temper? Just like I said back then, as long as Liuyun is alive, the Ye family's bloodline will not be broken. He and Aoxue are now disciples of the Yunxia Sect, which is not a bad choice. We can't force them to be mortals." Old Master Ye was still sensible.
But the more sensible Old Master Ye was, the more Ye Liuyun blamed herself. After all, she knew how important a family's inheritance was in this world. Even on Earth, most families put inheritance and reception first.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my grandson also has his own difficulties, and I don't know how to tell you." Ye Liuyun said helplessly.
"Don't say anything. I'm glad you're back. I'm already satisfied that I can see you one more time in my lifetime." Old Master Ye has let it go.
As soon as these words came out, Ye Liuyun felt a little uncomfortable, and she immediately asked Lin Qingyou.
"Master, is there any elixir that can prolong the life of mortals? I want my grandfather and relatives to live longer." It would be better if he didn't come back. Once he came back, Ye Liuyun would have no choice but to ignore life and death. She wanted to keep him.
She could sense that her grandfather didn't have much time left.
"Yes, there are, but why bother? They will leave eventually." Lin Qingyou sighed.
"I don't care about that anymore. I don't want anything unless I come back. Now that I'm back, I want to try to change my fate." Ye Liuyun said in a firm tone.
Lin Qingyou stopped talking and told Ye Liuyun about the elixir that could prolong life. In fact, it was a common longevity elixir that mortals could take. One pill could increase lifespan by about 20 years. Of course, this was an ordinary longevity elixir.
The pills refined by Ye Liuyun are all unique and may have better effects.
Ye Liuyun herself has the materials needed to refine this pill, so if possible, she can refine some tonight.
But a mortal can only eat one of this stuff in his lifetime, the second one will have no effect.
In the world of cultivation, the longevity elixir is actually a relatively precious elixir, and it is classified as a purple-grade elixir. There is no distinction between high-grade and low-grade elixirs. After taking it, a cultivator in the Wheel Sea can extend his life by a hundred years, while a cultivator in the Dao Palace can extend his life by fifty years. The higher the realm, the worse the effect.
You can only take one longevity pill of the same type in your lifetime.
Chapter 151 The unknown secret
In other words, if Ye Liuyun wants to refine the longevity pill, he has to refine the best one. However, with the materials Ye Liuyun has now, he still needs to discuss with Lin Qingyou which kind of longevity pill he can refine.
With Old Master Ye protecting his son, the head of the Ye family had no choice but to give up scolding Ye Liuyun.
"Come on, Xiao Yunzi, take a walk with grandpa and tell him about the world of immortal cultivation." Old Master Ye took Ye Liuyun and left the hall.
The head of the Ye family and Ye's mother looked at each other in confusion for a moment.
"Go and notify the eldest, second and third young ladies, and ask them to come back. Their younger brother and sister-in-law have finally come back, and they must be reunited as a family." The head of the Ye family ordered the servants.
As soon as these words were spoken, servants from the Ye family rode fast horses to Jiangzhou Prefecture to visit Ye Liuyun's three sisters.
By the way, although the Ye family and the Lin family said that they had resigned from their official positions and given up their titles, in fact, both families are still royal relatives. Ye Liuyun’s grandmother and Lin Aoxue’s grandmother are both royal family members.
Especially the deceased Madam Ye, she was the sister of the previous emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Madam Lin was the daughter of a prince. Lin Aoxue's grandmother is still alive.
So even if the Lin and Ye families voluntarily gave up their titles, official positions and rights, they were still royal relatives, and no one in the secular world in Jiangzhou Prefecture dared to offend them. However, the daughters of their two families did not marry out of Jiangzhou Prefecture. They stayed in Jiangzhou Prefecture and did not marry the powerful.
For example, Ye Liuyun's eldest sister is currently married to the eldest son of a wealthy businessman in Jiangzhou Prefecture. The daughters of both families can choose their own husbands. They can marry whoever they want, and neither family forces anything.
Mainly because after Old Master Lin and Old Master Ye resigned from their official positions, they seemed to deliberately stay away from the powerful and wealthy. After all, their identities were somewhat sensitive.
In fact, the reason why the Ye family and the Lin family gave up all their wealth and glory and returned to their hometown is definitely not as simple as the rumors.
A fortune teller said that the Lin and Ye families were punished by heaven because of the excessive killing? So they would have no descendants. This sounds a bit unreliable, but it is definitely not that simple.
In the backyard of the Ye family, Ye Liuyun supported his grandfather and chatted as they walked.
"Xiao Yunzi, is the world of immortal cultivation fun?" Old Master Ye asked with a smile.
Ye Liuyun answered this question without hesitation.
"It's not fun. It's not as fun as the secular world."
"It's not fun, but you want to go. Obviously, there is some reason that forces you to leave home." Old Master Ye said with a smile.
Ye Liuyun actually wanted to explain the reason, but she felt that it seemed unnecessary.
"Hey! My grandson has his own difficulties. If you really want to know, I can tell you." Ye Liuyun said seriously.
If Old Master Ye really asked, Ye Liuyun would probably tell it.
"It's not necessary. But, Liuyun, now that you're back, I think there are some things I should let you know." Old Master Ye felt that if he didn't say some things now, he might not have the chance to do so in the future.
When Ye Liuyun heard his grandfather's attitude, he knew that what he was going to say must be something very serious.
"Grandpa, please go ahead and speak. Your grandson is listening." Ye Liuyun gestured.
Old Master Ye and Ye Liuyun came to a pavilion and sat down.
"Xiao Yunzi, have you ever thought about this: our Lin and Ye families are obviously at their peak, but why would we suddenly give up everything and return to this small mountain town?" This was the first sentence that Old Master Ye said after he sat down.
This sentence contains a lot of profound meaning.
In fact, Ye Liuyun had thought about this problem before, and she felt that something was not right.
"My grandson has thought about this question before when he was at home. I also feel that there is something wrong, but I can't put my finger on it." Ye Liuyun replied.
Old Master Ye chuckled.
"Then grandpa will help you solve your doubts. As a member of the Ye family, you should know this." Old Master Ye began to tell some things that Ye Liuyun didn't know.
What really happened?
First of all, this so-called fortune teller said that the two Lin families were cursed because they had committed too much killing.
This statement was purely made by the Lin and Ye families to deceive people.
The real reason was that he, Ye Liuyun's father, the old man of the Lin family, and Lin Aoxue's father were all poisoned when they were in the imperial capital, and it was not a poison from the secular world, but a poison from the cultivation world.
A very special poison that will greatly reduce the chances of a man giving birth to a boy. This is why the Lin and Ye families cannot give birth to a boy.
There is no need to think too much about who poisoned him. It was obviously the work of the Li royal family.
Officials at their level are very clear that behind the Tang Kingdom's Li family there is an unrivaled cultivation force. It is no exaggeration to say that they have absolute power over the Tang Kingdom.
If possible, who would be willing to give up everything they have worked hard for? But there was no other way. In order to protect the family, they reached an agreement with the emperor and voluntarily drank the poison.
The immortal world generally does not care about worldly struggles, but the royal family is the royal family, and they have plenty of ways to get the cultivation forces behind them to help them.
In the Tang Kingdom, no matter how dynasties change, there is only one true master, and that is the Jiutian Holy Land.
The Lin family was able to get away with it by making many compromises. First, people from the Lin and Ye families could no longer enter the court, but they could have food and clothing without worries.
Second, the descendants of the Lin and Ye families are not allowed to marry with the powerful. That is why the people Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue’s sisters married were all ordinary people, and none of them were powerful.
Old Master Ye said a lot of things in one breath, and also told Ye Liuyun that if Ye Liuyun had not entered the immortal way, he would never tell Ye Liuyun these things.
Half an hour later...
"This? I didn't expect things to be so complicated?" Ye Liuyun frowned.
"Oh! Yes, things are so complicated." Old Master Ye sighed.
After Ye Liuyun learned that his father and grandfather had been poisoned, he immediately asked Lin Qingyou.
"Master, can you tell what kind of poison my grandfather and father were poisoned by?" Ye Liuyun was quite puzzled. What kind of poison could drastically reduce the chances of giving birth to male offspring?
"No need to look, I know what the poison is. It's the Six Yin Cold Soul Flower, a very cold medicine. Actually, it's not a poison. It has great benefits for women to take it, but this effect will occur when men take it." Lin Qingyou explained.
"Can it be resolved?" Ye Liuyun asked again.
If he could dissolve the drugs in his father and grandfather's bodies, then wouldn't there be a way out for the Lin Ye family's inheritance?
Unfortunately, Lin Qingyou hesitated. Obviously, this thing was not so easy to crack.
"Well, this thing is not a poison. It is similar to the cassia bark. There is no special antidote for it, but it can be controlled by enhancing the yang energy. In other words, you can refine some yang-rich pills for your parents, or something like the cassia bark. Maybe it can increase the chance of giving birth to a boy, but I can't guarantee it." Lin Qingyou said in advance.
Of course, it is not necessary for the old man, but it is necessary for Ye Liuyun's parents. Ye Liuyun can refine some pills for them to nourish their bodies and let them give birth on their own. Isn't this a solution?
However, it is easier said than done, because there is still a chance. You just need to use drugs that enhance yang energy to increase the chance of giving birth to a boy.
"Okay, Xiao Yunzi, don't think too much about these things. You have to go to the Lin family and apologize to them. And now that you are back, regardless of whether you are a cultivator or not, I think you and Aoxue should still get married." Old Master Ye said again.
"Ah? Wedding? I don't care about this. We can do it again, but I definitely can't spend the bridal chamber with Aoxue. We are still in the basic cultivation stage. The cultivation world is more taboo about breaking a boy's virginity." Ye Liuyun said.
"That doesn't matter. Well, I've said everything I need to say. I'm a little tired. You go talk to your father and mother first, and then go to the Lin family after that." Old Master Ye said with a smile.
After hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately stood up, bowed to his grandfather, and then left.
But about an hour later, from the Lin family's side, there was an extremely loud and angry curse from the head of the Lin family.
