The old master’s question made all the children present look at each other and tremble in fear.
There was no way around it; the era the children lived in was still quite conservative, with no concept of an LGBT community, and they were full of resistance to sothing like a gender transformation.
It can only be said that this magical old master was born in the wrong era. If he had revived a few hundred years later, never mind turning a man into a woman, there would be people lining up to have him turn them into an ard helicopter.
Seeing that none of the children were willing to cooperate, the old master’s expression turned cold.
"I, the great master, am offering you opportunities for free, and yet you shrink and dodge. Truly, you are like a pile of useless mud that can’t be propped up!"
"But whether you are willing or not, soone needs to test this dicine. If no one volunteers, don’t bla for choosing soone directly!"
As he spoke, the old master’s murky and chilling gaze swept over all the children one by one.
Hiding among the crowd, Su Yuan felt a tightness in his chest.
Oh no, if history follows its true course, there’s a high chance that Chu Lanxi will be picked as the guinea pig!
With Chu Lanxi’s ’natural beauty,’ even if he’s malnourished, he’s like a candle in the dark among the children, shining brightly.
Damn it, how can I hide now?
Seeing the old master’s gaze about to fall on him, Su Yuan had no choice but to activate the effect of his Speedrun Demon Cultivation title.
Question: How should I get through this challenge?
Speedrun effect, activate!
The next second, a series of answers appeared in Su Yuan’s mind.
Answer: Make the master beco a woman too.
Su Yuan: "???"
What kind of crappy answer is this?
Who’s the master, that scraggly-haired and bearded old man?
If he turns into a woman, it’ll be such an eyesore. Surely the Yin Yang Reversal Pill doesn’t have a built-in beautifying effect!
Su Yuan’s brain froze for a full second before he rolled his eyes in speechless disbelief.
He had misunderstood the key to this challenge from the start. Chu Lanxi didn’t care about whether he took the Yin Yang Reversal Pill himself.
He cared about whether his so-called master, the magical old man, would take the elixir.
In true history, there’s a high probability that the old master didn’t take it.
Therefore, in this Illusion Realm, only by having the magical old man consu this elixir could Chu Lanxi’s thoughts be satisfied.
You’re truly sothing else! Whether it’s your real form or your shadow, you’re a true fun-seeker among fun-seekers!
Lanzi, you’re really sothing!
If it weren’t for the Speedrun Demon Cultivation title acting as a cheat, no one else would have realized Chu Lanxi’s audacious idea. They would only think of dumb ways to refuse the Yin Yang Reversal Pill.
And the consequence of refusal would be evident—you’d be beaten to death by the furious old master.
If you really reached that dead end, no matter how many people ca, how many tis they tried again, or how many thods they tested, you couldn’t clear this challenge at all.
As to why Chu Lanxi didn’t give any hints?
Although Su Yuan suspected this guy just wanted to be a spectator for fun, after thinking it over, it probably wasn’t true.
He was likely restricted by the residual will of Fake Chu Jiang and couldn’t reveal key information about the challenge.
So here cos the question: how to persuade the old master to take the Yin Yang Reversal Pill too? Since he specifically crafted this elixir, he should be considering taking it himself, right?
As Su Yuan pondered, a pair of icy cold gaze had already fallen on him.
"Chu Jiang, my favorite disciple, do you want to alleviate your master’s worries?"
Hearing that forcibly gentle yet chilling tone, Su Yuan felt a shiver run down his spine.
He had no doubt that if he refused, this Golden Core Stage old man would kill him, or at least give him a serious beating, leading to failure in this challenge.
Thinking quickly, Su Yuan could only muster up the courage to respond.
"I... am willing, master."
As soon as the words fell, all the children visibly breathed a collective sigh of relief, and the old master nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad, I haven’t misjudged you."
As he spoke, the old master flicked his finger, and the crimson pill, resembling the Overlord Egg, zood into Su Yuan’s hand.
A strange combination of fragrance and stench rushed into Su Yuan’s nose, causing his brow to slightly furrow.
Holding the pill, Su Yuan’s face showed hesitation, as if sothing was troubling him.
"Why aren’t you eating it? Changed your mind?"
The sinister voice of the old Daoist echoed.
Su Yuan quickly shook his head and said:
"Your disciple is imnsely grateful for the immortal opportunity bestowed by Master. But Master, if I take this Immortal Pill, will you be left without one?"
The old Daoist was slightly taken aback, then laughed and said:
"You really care about your master, don’t you? Don’t worry, I have another one here."
As he spoke, he turned his hand, and a blood-red elixir the size of a fist appeared in his palm.
Only then did Su Yuan show a relieved expression, and under the old Daoist’s watchful eyes, he gobbled down the elixir in two or three bites.
The dicinal power burst forth from the crushed elixir, and Su Yuan imdiately felt a heart-wrenching pain all over his body, as if being genetically transford.
This kind of pain was akin to being viciously kicked in the Demon Pill with a hundred tis the body’s sensitivity. An average person absolutely couldn’t withstand it—rolling on the ground howling would be the least of it.
Soone could even pass out from the pain.
However, Su Yuan gritted his teeth, not showing the slightest abnormality on his face.
Although most of his abilities, including the Demon Technique·Finger Body, couldn’t be used in the Illusion Realm World, his Dao Heart remained.
Relying on his firm Dao Heart, this so-called deadly pain was sothing he could endure.
The pain was relentless, as if never-ending, and Su Yuan could clearly feel his body transforming towards that of a female. In about a quarter of an hour, this transformation would be complete.
This made him marvel at the old Daoist’s talent.
Even modern cultivation technology couldn’t fundantally change a person’s gender, yet you managed to achieve such results with your little workshop.
It was just a bit painful. Could it be that the old Daoist didn’t dare to take the already successful Yin Yang Reversal Pill because he was afraid of the pain?
But while thinking this, he displayed a puzzled expression on his face and quickly said before his voice changed:
"Master, why doesn’t this elixir seem to have any effect? I don’t feel a thing after taking it."
The old Daoist was montarily stunned, then exclaid in shock: "What? That’s impossible!"
Su Yuan spread his hands, spun around twice in front of the old Daoist, indicating there was really no change.
He said earnestly:
"Master, could this elixir be ineffective for ? Perhaps you should let soone else try?"
With these words, the expressions of the surrounding children tightened, glaring at Su Yuan with a ’are you a devil?’ look.
The old Daoist paced back and forth, sotis looking at the seemingly unaffected Su Yuan, sotis at the single remaining Yin Yang Reversal Pill in his hand, his expression flickering.
After a while, the old Daoist gritted his teeth and said:
"My Immortal Pill can’t possibly be ineffective; I’ll try it myself."
With that, under Su Yuan’s expectant gaze, the old Daoist swallowed the Yin Yang Reversal Pill.
The next second, the old Daoist’s body convulsed, trembling like a sieve, with bean-sized drops of sweat continuously rolling down his skin, his eyes full of blood vessels.
With a heavy thud—
In the shocked gazes of the children, the old Daoist, who usually acted domineeringly, heavily fell to the ground, rolling around madly.
He incessantly scratched his skin, leaving one streak of blood after another, as if there were countless bugs crawling on him.
He wanted to scream, but he was like a fish out of water, mouth agape without making any sound.
"Hahahahahahaha!"
Upon seeing this, Su Yuan couldn’t help but burst out laughing, his laughter carrying a sweet girlish tone.
"Old geezer, your Dao Heart isn’t firm enough; you can’t even bear this little bit of suffering."
Hearing this, the old Daoist understood that he had been tricked. Yet the pain penetrating his bones left him unable to muster the strength to kill Su Yuan, so he could only endure it through gritted teeth.
A quarter of an hour passed in an instant.
The skin the old Daoist scratched himself was completely peeled away, revealing new fair and tender skin beneath.
His aged face beca full of collagen, the tangled beard fell away completely, and even his head of gray hair turned to a smooth silver-gray.
Paired with his originally only one-ter-fifty height, he resembled a loli with a youthful appearance.
"Tsk tsk, this Yin Yang Reversal Pill indeed has beautifying effects. But why didn’t it work on Chu Lanxi? Could it be that that guy’s appearance has already reached the human limit of beauty?"
Su Yuan watched the old Daoist’s transformation and compared it with his own.
The nearly exhausted old Daoist struggled to rise, his young face full of rage:
"You! Chu Jiang! You wretch, how dare you sche against !"
Su Yuan: "Hahahahahahaha!"
