"Kid, it would be better for you not to meddle with those little things. Let them be. It seems some incredible changes have occurred within these little creatures, and you wouldn't be able to figure out why."
Seeing the expression on Lin Qingyou's face, Ye Liuyun knew that she was not joking. She currently couldn't determine what effects those Medicinal Pills had on these small animals; if it were something bad, it would be troublesome.
"That makes sense. I'd better leave then. From now on, I must not feed these animals Medicinal Pills so casually." Ye Liuyun laughed awkwardly, then quickly left the back mountain.
However, ever since these small animals consumed Ye Liuyun's Medicinal Pills, all sorts of comical incidents began to occur within the Sect.
A monkey was running around causing trouble, stealing clothes from Female Disciples. Often, Female Disciples would find their bras and panties missing.
There was also a rabbit that frequently appeared at the Training Grounds. Whenever it saw a Disciple not practicing diligently, it would immediately step forward and kick them, then run away right after.
As for the fox, it appeared frequently in the area where Male Disciples lived, though no one knew what she was trying to do.
Of course, the most annoying ones were the pair of strange male and female birds. They specialized in exposing the affairs of young couples in the Sect, almost every few days.
This made some couples afraid to meet for secret trysts at night, because everything they said and did could be almost perfectly replicated by these two strange birds. Wasn't that making them die of embarrassment on the spot?
If not for the order from Yun Yun to not harm their lives and to just drive them away, they would have likely been caught and roasted by the Disciples long ago.
A few days later, it was the monthly lecture for Outer Sect Disciples again, but today's lecture was slightly special; it seemed there were other matters to announce.
Ye Liuyun arrived at the Training Pavilion for Outer Sect Disciples as usual.
"Hey! Tell me, what is going on with those strange beasts? Birds that mimic couples talking, a monkey that steals Female Disciples' underwear, a rabbit that kicks people... Oh, and there is a tiger with mottled fur in the back mountain that walks on two legs. This tiger somehow got a pair of underpants and put them on, and every day I see him secretly watching other Disciples practicing."
As soon as Ye Liuyun arrived at the Training Pavilion, she heard people everywhere discussing the recent bizarre behaviors of those small animals.
"Our Yunxia Sect is truly becoming stranger and stranger. Who knows how many more bizarre things will appear in the future?" another Disciple sighed.
Listening to them discuss these matters, Ye Liuyun felt an inexplicable sense of pride in her heart. These were all her masterpieces, after all; there was definitely a sense of accomplishment.
After all the Elementary Outer Sect Disciples had arrived, the deacon responsible for teaching them combat, Yun Cheng, walked out. The lecture was conducted by the Outer Sect Elder, Elder Yun Zheng, while Yun Cheng was responsible for practical combat instruction.
"everyone, there is one matter to inform you of. Three days from now, the Sect will hold an assessment for Elementary Disciples. Those who pass the assessment can be promoted to Intermediate Outer Sect Disciples. I hope everyone is prepared," Yun Cheng announced while standing in front of the crowd.
This news brought joy to some and sorrow to others.
This assessment for promotion to Intermediate Outer Sect Disciple was held regularly once a year, but it was not entirely a good thing.
Because once an Elementary Disciple is promoted to an Intermediate Disciple, while their benefits increase, the requirements for Sect missions also increase.
Ye Liuyun was an Alchemist; she only needed to go to the Alchemy Pavilion to refine Medicinal Pills to complete her monthly Disciple task attendance, so there was no risk.
But it was different for ordinary Disciples. Once promoted to Intermediate Disciples, they might often have to go out to the Liu Yang Mountain Range and other areas within the Yunxia Sect's sphere of influence to execute field missions.
What were these missions? Tasks such as collecting Medicinal Herbs, gathering Materials for Artifact Refining, hunting Yao Beasts, patrolling territory, catching ghosts, and eliminating evil spirits, among others.
These missions all carried a certain risk of losing one's life. However, as Cultivators of the Immortal Dao, eliminating demons and suppressing evil was their duty. Otherwise, why would the Sect Cultivate you for no reason?
Seeing the crowd in an uproar, Yun Cheng immediately shouted to silence them.
"Quiet down, everyone! What are you arguing about? As Cultivators, this is your duty. Without tempering, how can you improve your Realm? This assessment for the promotion of Elementary Disciples to Intermediate Disciples is being jointly conducted by our Yunxia Sect, along with the Xixia Sect, the Yanxia Sect, and the Zixia Sect."
"It is not just a regular promotion assessment. If you perform well in the assessment, you might be able to enter the Inner Sect directly. At the same time, the Four Great Sects have prepared generous rewards; the higher your points, the higher the rewards you will receive," Yun Cheng explained in detail.
That is to say, this so-called assessment also requires competing with the Elementary Disciples of the other three Sects.
