The Immortal Empress, Unrivaled Through Eternity

On the 12th day of the eighth month in the 387th year of the Da Yu calendar, it is auspicious for marriage, but inauspicious for breaking ground.

The small courtyard of the Pharmacy.

Li Yunqing wore a light purple dress, her figure as light as a swallow. She lifted her right leg slightly, her toes drawing an arc before landing suddenly.

"Bang!"

The moment the sound of footsteps began, her slender, supple waist twisted slightly.

His body suddenly spun around, his hair cascading like a waterfall, his clothes fluttering, and his right fist slammed out like a dragon or snake emerging from its hole.

"call!"

Before the sound in the air could subside, she stepped forward with her left foot, and as her purple skirt fluttered, she unleashed another punch that cut through the air.

The Thirty-Six Forms of Mingyu Fist became increasingly decisive and fierce in her hands.

Sometimes it pushes mountains forward, sometimes it breaks through long winds with its fists, and its explosive power is like a dragon or snake rolling.

Sometimes her movements are as light and graceful as a crane, her supple body dancing with a fierce wind of punches.

Every move was agile and powerful.

Her fair face was flushed, yet there was not a trace of sweat. Her breathing was long and steady, clearly indicating that she had mastered the technique, as if it were second nature.

"Mingyu Fist Experience +10."

"Mingyu Fist (Minor Success 0/200)"

"I've finally achieved a minor success. My spirit is strong, and it's even boosting my martial arts training."

Standing with her fist clenched, Li Yunqing clearly felt a surge of heat flowing through her body, nourishing her limbs and bones.

With a thought, all her vital energy gathered and spread throughout her entire right arm.

In that instant, she suddenly possessed a power that seemed capable of shattering a mountain with a single punch.

"With the added strength of newborn blood and energy, this punch must weigh at least a hundred kilograms, right?"

For the past three days, she has been staying in the small courtyard of the medical office, sometimes practicing the Mingyu Fist, and sometimes studying medical books.

He almost never stopped, and in just three days he had already mastered the Mingyu Fist to a minor level.

If it weren't for the fact that women are naturally weak, and that a master of boxing can exert a force of a thousand jin, an ordinary martial artist with only a minor mastery of boxing would have a force of at least 150 kilograms.

"This martial art is truly amazing!"

Li Yunqing couldn't help but sigh, she seemed to have undergone a complete transformation in just three days.

Although the physical appearance did not change much, one could feel that the body had become more than twice as strong.

Last night, while taking a shower, I exerted a little force, and my abdominal abs were clearly visible. Touching them, they were no longer the flat mass they used to be; instead, the cleavage was quite prominent.

"How strong must those martial artists be, whose fist techniques have reached a high level, generating internal energy and whose flesh and skin have been tempered to a high standard?"

Li Yunqing's eyes sparkled, her longing growing stronger.

Power is the key to her controlling her own destiny.

"I will definitely succeed!"

A determination flashed in her eyes as she turned and walked into the medical office, beginning to peruse medical books.

For the past three days, she has been constantly reading through the books, and her medical practice is only a little short of mastery.

Unlike martial arts, these skills, which rely on memory and technique, can improve extremely rapidly.

As the sun gradually rises, the shade of the trees in the yard quickly shortens.

As noon approached, another line of words flashed in Li Yunqing's eyes.

"Medical and Poison Refining Experience +23."

"Medicine, Poisoning, and Alchemy (Proficiency 0/500)"

"Upon mastering medicine and toxicology, a special ability was developed: identifying medicines by their scent."

"It actually developed special features!"

Her face lit up with joy, and before she could think further, a rich aroma of various herbs wafted into her nostrils.

"Ginseng, Astragalus, Angelica sinensis, Atractylodes macrocephala, Licorice, Rehmannia glutinosa, Salvia miltiorrhiza..."

Following the aroma, she was able to instantly identify all the medicinal herbs using the knowledge in her mind.

Li Yunqing turned her head and looked at the house on one side, where the old woman was brewing medicinal soup.

"This medicinal soup is actually made up of nourishing herbs... Hmm? It also contains poisonous aconite and strychnine, which are used to balance the medicinal properties."

In a short moment, she clearly understood all the ingredients in the medicinal soup brewed by the old woman ghost, and even the medicinal properties of each ingredient gathered in her mind.

"This feature is pretty good!"

With this characteristic, and a head full of knowledge about medicine, drugs, and poisons, she no longer worried about being drugged.

With a flash of his eyes, the panel suddenly appeared.

Name: Li Yunqing.

Lifespan: 15/∞

Skills: Music, chess, calligraphy and painting (perfect) Characteristics: Single-minded, energetic, photographic memory, exceptional talent, musical talent, and unparalleled intelligence.

Mingyu Fist (Small Mastery 0/200) Ability: None.

Medicine and Poison Refining (Proficiency 0/500) Characteristic: Identifying medicines by smell.

"Tap tap tap..."

Just then, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded in front of the courtyard gate.

"Miss, the master wants you to go back."

Hearing the voice, Li Yunqing raised her head slightly: "Aunt Zhang, did Father say something?"

This is the old woman from my own courtyard, and one of the four servants who came to the martial arts school with me.

"It might be related to the Jiang family," Aunt Zhang said, her response somewhat uncertain.

"The Jiang family? The betrothal ceremony?"

Li Yunqing frowned slightly, then relaxed, stood up, and bowed slightly to the old woman, saying, "Old woman, I'll be going now. See you tomorrow!"

"Go back, go back!" The old woman waved her hand with a smile.

She had witnessed almost all of Li Yunqing's changes over the past few days.

Diligent, eager to learn, never slacking off, and extremely focused.

"Even old man Liu can make mistakes...hehe!"

Watching Li Yunqing's retreating figure, the old woman chuckled softly.

He mastered the Mingyu Fist in three days, surpassing everyone else in the entire martial arts school in talent.

Even Jiang Yu of the Jiang family paled in comparison to him.

"The Jiang family? Are they planning an engagement?"

"This girl is very composed, gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and acts with great method. Is she really willing to be arranged by the family?"

As if she had thought of something, the old woman's smile gradually froze, eventually turning into desolation.

His figure was slightly hunched, like a lonely ghost in the quiet courtyard.

After a long silence, a desolate sigh echoed through the courtyard: "If only things had been different back then..."

Inner city, Jiang residence.

"Jiang Yu, hold me!"

The old man of the Jiang family pointed to a pair of wild geese in the cage, which were kept extremely clean, and said, "They fly south at the autumn equinox and return at the spring equinox. They are paired for life and never break their promises."

"You must personally hand it to the woman you love, and with this promise, vow to grow old together, and never break your promise."

"We, the sons of the Jiang family, must never break our promise!"

"Yes, Grandpa!"

Jiang Yu bowed respectfully before walking to the cage and picking up the goose.

Li Yunqing's delicate face appeared in his mind, and thinking of her stubborn temper, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

But then he thought of Li Yunqing's unwillingness to get close to him, and how she seemed to be avoiding him, and he felt uneasy.

As the eldest son of the Jiang family, he had seen many daughters of prominent families in Qingzhou City.

Every woman greeted him with a smile and spoke to him intimately; many women even made suggestive remarks, but he never felt anything in return.

On the contrary, Li Yunqing, whom he didn't want to get close to, often appeared in his mind.

Dressed in a purple dress, with long hair flowing down her shoulders, she plays the zither under the moonlight. The melodious music is captivating and moving, like an unforgettable painting.

Every time he thinks of that scene, his heart flutters slightly.

"Go ahead, go ahead, I'll be waiting for your wedding!"

Seeing Jiang Yu standing tall and elegant, Grandpa Jiang smiled with anticipation.

"Grandpa, I'm leaving!"

Jiang Yu bowed again, then looked at his father beside him: "Father, let's go!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yu, carrying the wild goose in his arms, walked ahead.

The figures behind him formed a long line, two people per load, a total of thirty loads of gifts.

This is the betrothal ceremony.

As soon as I stepped onto the long street, I instantly attracted everyone's attention.
