The Immortal Empress, Unrivaled Through Eternity

Chapter 26 Is this how you play it?

Li Yunqing, carrying the cleaned fish, had just returned to the campfire at the foot of the cliff.

Jiang Yu, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

He subconsciously looked at that exquisite and flawless face, and felt inexplicably happy.

But fearing that something was amiss, her gaze shifted and landed on the fish in Li Yunqing's hand. She struggled to sit up and said softly, "Let me do it."

Although she enjoyed being close to and cared for by Li Yunqing, she still felt a little uneasy.

Especially this unexpected incident; if I hadn't invited him, being in the inner city, I probably wouldn't have encountered this crisis.

She was a young lady raised in the inner chambers, delicate and graceful, yet she was doing these things because of her.

"Your injury?"

Li Yunqing looked at Jiang Yu in surprise and found that although there was blood on his body, he was able to get up normally.

Although his hands and feet are still not very convenient, he can move them freely.

How can a martial artist's wounds heal so quickly?

"It's nothing, just a minor injury!"

Jiang Yu spoke casually, moved to Li Yunqing's side, and wanted to take the two cleaned fish.

He could not possibly tell Li Yunqing that he had taken the life-saving medicine because he was so frustrated and didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the person he loved.

I spent the whole afternoon treating my injuries.

"Alright, just wait patiently!"

Thinking of Jiang Yu's injuries, Li Yunqing refused.

He was already seriously injured because of himself, yet he refused to retreat even at the cost of his life, which shows his loyalty and righteousness.

Although she looked down on men and was unwilling to get close to them, she wasn't that heartless or ungrateful.

She never hesitates to repay those who are truly good to her, like her father and brothers.

These are just minor matters now, not worth worrying about.

Arriving at the fire, they picked up branches and forks to make a simple grill.

She calmly flipped the grilled fish, but her consciousness sank into her mind as she began to examine the cultivation pills in the Medicine King Scripture.

And the methods of fire control, extraction, and condensation recorded therein.

"It's also a handprint, and an extremely complex one at that."

The Fire Control Seal Technique has a total of thirty-six hand seals, which can control the size and intensity of the flames for refining elixirs.

The hand seals for extracting medicines consist of a total of 108 hand seals, corresponding to the extraction and refining of various medicinal materials.

As for the hand seals for condensing the elixir, there are quite a few, with seventy-two hand seals.

"We still need magic power."

Looking at the records in the Medicine King Scripture, Li Yunqing frowned slightly: "I wonder if it is possible to refine the pills used for cultivation using only the power of the Yin Spirit."

The elixirs recorded in the Medicine King's Classic are all of the finest quality.

There are various elixirs that can enhance magical power, temper the body, regulate the internal organs, and heal injuries.

Each type of elixir is greatly beneficial to cultivation.

If she could refine it, her cultivation path would be much smoother.

"With the help of these pills, I may soon reach the perfection of the initial stage."

"After leaving here, we must find a way to refine the elixir!"

"Even without magic power, we must try using mortal fire."

Given the threat posed by those who worship demons and evil gods, she naturally wanted to become stronger faster.

"Um?"

Li Yunqing slightly raised her eyes and subconsciously looked at Jiang Yu.

At this moment, Jiang Yu sat quietly beside him, her eyes seemingly glued to him, unwilling to look away for a long time.

"What are you looking at?" Li Yunqing frowned slightly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu hurriedly withdrew her gaze and turned her head away, as if she had been discovered, her face instantly turning red.

"What happened?"

"I... I actually lost my mind."

Jiang Yu's heart was pounding, but she forced herself to remain calm as she looked at Li Yunqing.

Under the moonlight, Li Yunqing radiated a soft glow, like a fairy.

Even when she's just sitting there quietly, her graceful figure and every move she makes are impossible to ignore.

He had just been so captivated by her beauty that he hadn't even realized it.

It wasn't that his mind and will were not firm enough, but rather that Li Yunqing today seemed to be radiating magic.

"Sorry, I was distracted for a moment!"

Having calmed down, Jiang Yu quickly apologized.

Upon seeing this, Li Yunqing's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that her fair skin and delicate bones truly possess an innate allure?"

A few days ago, Jiang Yu's eyes also revealed feelings of affection, but she was definitely not like this.

If this isn't Jiang Yu's change, then it's her own problem.

In the early morning, she checked herself by looking in the pool. Although her appearance hadn't changed, her skin looked like it had a built-in beauty filter.

Her skin was smooth and radiant, like jade carved from ice.

She was indeed extremely beautiful, but she herself did not feel anything unusual.

But Jiang Yu's reaction now gave her some ideas.

"Ice-like skin and jade-like bones" is a special physique, somewhat similar to the physique of a man with copper skin and iron bones, and a broad back and strong waist.

This should be considered a physique unique to women.

Just like cultivators, whose bodies are nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, even if their appearance is not extremely beautiful, their skin is still crystal clear like jade, exuding a unique charm.

Its appeal to ordinary people is extraordinary.

It's even an attraction at the level of life itself that makes people fall into it.

"Could it be that her fair skin and delicate bones also possess a unique attraction for men?"

"Wouldn't that put me in even more danger in the future?"

Thinking of this, Li Yunqing felt a strange sense of urgency.

This crisis is even greater than the crisis faced by the religion of God.

After all, the cult probably captured her to sacrifice to evil gods and demons, and she would eventually die.

However, if her body has a unique attraction to men, it might be a good thing for a normal woman.

But for her, it was a nightmare.

"We're still not strong enough!"

Li Yunqing felt heavy-hearted; she had no power, yet possessed such beauty.

In this chaotic world of imperial power, martial arts, and demons, where women are treated like commodities and money, the consequences are obvious.

After eating the grilled fish, Li Yunqing walked alone to a corner below the cliff, using the mountain to block Jiang Yu's view.

With outsiders present, it was not appropriate to practice the art of controlling objects; her entire mind was immersed in the Medicine King Scripture.

"Medicine King's Scripture Experience +1."

"Medicine King's Scripture Experience +1."

She practiced the method of drawing qi into her body, and as her experience with the Medicine King Scripture increased, strands of spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered towards the top of her head.

Then it entered the dantian, slowly dissipated, and nourished the body.

As time went by, she could clearly feel the changes in her body.

His skin became increasingly radiant, and faint sounds of jade and sword echoed from within his bones, like pearls falling onto a jade plate, clear and melodious.

Even their breathing became longer and lighter.

The body naturally exudes a pure and flawless fragrance, as if it were a precious medicine born from the essence of heaven and earth.

Moreover, she could feel her own power and spirit slowly increasing under the nourishment of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, her fair skin and jade-like bones become even more extraordinary!"

Sensing the changes in her body, Li Yunqing frowned slightly: "Try some protective techniques."

After thinking for a moment, she lay half-reclined on the bluestone, and her Yin spirit leaped out of her body, soaring straight up.

Not long after her spirit left her body, Jiang Yu, who was half-lying with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes.

After listening intently for a moment, he murmured, "His breathing is even and rhythmic; he must be asleep."

He rose slightly, approached her, and looked at Li Yunqing, his gaze filled with a mix of emotions.

"What does he want to do?"

In the void, Li Yunqing's spirit stood upright, staring directly at Jiang Yu, her hands forming a hand seal, the sword intent on her fingertips fully revealed.

Even the needle pouch at his waist trembled slightly.

If Jiang Yu dares to have any improper thoughts, she will definitely make him know what death means.

The reason for giving back to others is that I don't want to get caught up in so-called romantic relationships.

She is willing to repay kindness from others, even double the amount, and does not want to owe them anything.

But if she's just lusting after her body, then she can't blame her for being ruthless.

"call!"

After a long silence, Jiang Yu let out a long sigh, her eyes regaining their clarity, and shook her head, sighing, "Is this what liking someone is?"

"I guess I'm just an ordinary person after all!"

He carefully took off his long robe and gently covered Li Yunqing with it, then moved the fire a little closer to her.

Only when he stood in front of Li Yunqing and felt the warmth of the firelight did he turn around with a smile.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes, used his movement technique, and leaped into the air. With a light step on the air, he actually stepped directly onto the cliff, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Didn't they say it was impossible to get up there?"

"Wasn't he said to be seriously injured?"

Watching Jiang Yu's departing figure, Li Yunqing was slightly stunned before she came to her senses.

The image of Jiang Yu being seriously injured and cared for by him flashed through his mind, his face showing a mixture of satisfaction and unfulfilled desire.

Li Yunqing clenched her fists tightly, a surge of anger at being deceived rising within her.

"Okay, okay... is this how you play?"

"Does he really think I'm some innocent, unassuming girl?"
