The Immortal Empress, Unrivaled Through Eternity

Early morning, at the foot of the cliff.

"Don't move!"

A pleasant, clear sound rang out.

Jiang Yu lay flat on the bluestone, stopped moving, and looked at the girl in front of him with tenderness in his eyes.

With a calm and focused expression, she held the flying sword and moved gently, carefully peeling away the strips of cloth covering the wound.

Her soft, boneless fingers held the jade bottle, slowly pouring out the medicinal powder inside. Every movement was exceptionally gentle and quiet.

"The wound has healed considerably; you won't need to change the dressing anymore after today!"

Li Yunqing spoke calmly, pulled down the hem of her skirt, and gently began to bandage the wound.

"Mm!" Jiang Yu nodded, looking at Li Yunqing with a smile in her eyes: "Thank you for taking care of me, Junior Sister Yunqing."

"It's alright!" Li Yunqing's expression remained as calm as ever, her tone unhurried: "Hand!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu quickly extended his palm and placed it flat in front of Li Yunqing.

Looking at those fair and jade-like fingers, gently resting on my wrist, I felt the throbbing pulse.

The tenderness in his eyes grew stronger and could not be concealed.

Even my heart started racing uncontrollably at that moment.

"The internal injuries have also fully healed!"

"After today's acupuncture, you will be fine!"

Li Yunqing spoke, seemingly oblivious to Jiang Yu's affectionate expression, and took out silver needles from her needle pouch.

With a slight movement of her slender fingers, the silver needles were already inserted into the acupoints on Jiang Yu's chest, gently twirling them to regulate Jiang Yu's internal organs.

A moment later, Jiang Yu watched as Li Yunqing put away the silver needles, walked to the fire, took off the roasted fish, and handed it to him.

"Thank you, Junior Sister Yunqing!"

Jiang Yu reached out and took it, smiling, as polite and considerate as ever.

Since he accidentally fell into the pool three nights ago, Li Yunqing has taken meticulous care of him.

Every day, I check his wounds, apply medicine and bandages, perform acupuncture to treat his internal injuries, grill fish for him, and prepare food.

"This injury was well worth it!"

"She still cares about me a lot."

Thinking of the care she had received over the past three days, Jiang Yu felt even happier.

Especially considering Li Yunqing's naturally quiet and composed nature, the fact that she could achieve this level of composure clearly indicates that he held an increasingly important place in her heart.

"She's getting more and more beautiful!"

Watching Li Yunqing sitting quietly to the side, taking small bites of grilled fish, Jiang Yu's gaze would occasionally fall on her exquisite face.

Her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, her nose was straight and elegant, and her fair skin shone brightly in the sunlight, like a piece of beautiful jade.

He had witnessed almost all the changes in Li Yunqing over the past three days.

Li Yunqing was already quite beautiful, and now her skin is even more supple and fair.

Like a fairy descended to earth, her temperament and appearance are increasingly captivating.

Moreover, Li Yunqing exuded a strong vitality, like plants and trees, as if she were a spirit born from heaven and earth.

It naturally inspires feelings of closeness and longing.

He was more than once thankful that he hadn't stopped his father from proposing marriage.

A girl with such a graceful figure and temperament, and a quiet and gentle nature, is like a solitary orchid standing alone in the mortal world; it's hard to imagine any man in the world being able to resist her.

"I'll find an opportunity to propose marriage when we get back!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu's smile grew even brighter, and his gaze was almost entirely fixed on Li Yunqing.

These past few days of contact made it impossible for him to hide his true feelings any longer, and he wanted to express them more than once.

But they were afraid of being too abrupt and dared not cross the line easily.

After the betrothal and marriage are arranged, they may become even closer.

Only then, when I reveal my feelings, will it not be so abrupt.

Feeling the gazes upon her, Li Yunqing remained calm and didn't even have the desire to look at them again.

After eating, she went to an open space to practice her meditation.

"The last Water Condensation Pill and Blood Condensation Pill."

After taking the pill, Li Yunqing instantly entered a state of complete focus.

It was as if she was the only one left in the whole world.

She unleashed the Thirty-Six Forms of Mingyu Fist with agility and quick movements, ignoring the experience points flashing before her eyes.

For the past three days, she has hardly stopped practicing, cultivating the Mingyu Fist during the day and the Medicine King Scripture at night.

With the help of elixirs, his strength improved extremely quickly.

"Mingyu Fist Experience +20."

"Mingyu Fist Experience +20."

time flies.

The rising sun, having shed its tender red hue, hangs in the center of the sky, its radiance so intense that it is almost blinding.

suddenly.

"boom!"

Li Yunqing threw a punch, and a piercing sound rang out in the air.

Jiang Yu, who had been watching Li Yunqing closely from a short distance away, was startled and suddenly stood up, looking at Li Yunqing in disbelief.

"Has a surge of energy been generated?"

"How long has she been cultivating?"

"Wait... her Mingyu Fist wasn't completed, so why did it generate internal energy?"

Jiang Yu murmured, her voice filled with shock.

Only when the Mingyu Fist is perfected, with Qi and blood in perfect harmony, can one condense Qi and strength from within Qi and blood.

This internal energy is the foundation for tempering the physical body; it can circulate throughout the body, vibrating and tempering the flesh, tendons, bones, and internal organs.

Once you generate internal energy, it's equivalent to stepping into the threshold of becoming a top-tier martial artist.

After one round of tempering, one can be considered a low-grade martial artist in the initial stage; after nine rounds of tempering, one can become a perfect low-grade martial artist.

A low-level martial artist in the initial stage already possesses strength and speed that far exceed those of an ordinary person.

Even a dozen or so ordinary burly men couldn't get close to him.

"Less than half a month!"

As Jiang Yu silently calculated Li Yunqing's cultivation time, his eyes grew increasingly shocked.

If one masters the Mingyu Fist within six months, one can become a true disciple of the Mingyu Martial Arts School and a true disciple of Master Liu.

Li Yunqing, who developed Qi in less than half a month, was more than qualified to become Master Liu's closed-door disciple.

"Is this internal force?"

Li Yunqing withdrew her fist and stood up, her consciousness instantly sinking into her body.

Last night, while practicing the Medicine King Sutra, her newly generated Qi and blood were already complete, flowing throughout her body and replacing her original Qi and blood.

His strength increased dramatically, as if he had been reborn.

Feeling the hair-like energy within her blood and qi, Li Yunqing was somewhat dazed.

The sound only came from the punch that was amplified by this force.

That was an explosion of power, an explosion of strength, the sound left behind as it struck the air.

"The Mingyu Fist technique has not yet reached its full potential."

Li Yunqing looked at the control panel.

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 (Mastery 416/500) Trait: Ice Skin and Jade Bones.

Frost Sword Technique (Mastery 0/3000) Characteristic: Natural Sword Bones.

Medicine King Sutra (Beginner 422/1000) Characteristics: Identifies medicines by their fragrance, and is immune to all poisons.

"It seems to be thanks to the Medicine King's Sutra!"

Li Yunqing understood, and a look of joy flashed in her eyes.

Mingyu Fist refines one's qi and blood through fist techniques, generating internal strength. This is a cultivation method that seeks internal strength to enhance the body.

The Medicine King Sutra absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is to seek it outward and use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish the body.

The combination of the two factors accelerated her cultivation speed by several times.

"Very good, perhaps today I can master the Mingyu Fist."

Feeling the medicinal power within her body, Li Yunqing suddenly realized that the combination of internal and external effects not only accelerated her cultivation speed.

The resources consumed have also been greatly reduced.

"I wonder what changes will occur to the Medicine King Scripture after the physical body has been fully tempered?"

Li Yunqing felt a sense of anticipation.

This is, after all, a cultivation technique. If it can generate magical power, then she might truly be fearless.

"Congratulations, Junior Sister Yunqing, on the birth of your inner strength!"

Just then, Jiang Yu's gentle voice rang out from not far away.

Upon hearing Jiang Yu's voice, Li Yunqing's expression instantly returned to calm, and she said without any ripples, "Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang."

She looked up at the sky and then said, "It's noon. Senior Brother Jiang, please wait a moment while I prepare the meal."

As she spoke, she turned around, took out two silver needles from her needle pouch at her waist, and went to the clear pool.

"Junior Sister Yunqing has broken through to the next level! Senior Brother will treat you to a meal today, as a way to celebrate!"

Jiang Yu smiled broadly, her eyes brimming with tenderness, and unconsciously walked towards the clear pool.

"No need, Senior Brother's injuries haven't healed yet!" Li Yunqing said, and the silver needle in her hand suddenly disappeared into the water.

A moment later, two fish, each weighing two or three pounds, floated to the surface of the clear pool.

Li Yunqing busied herself preparing the fish and then began grilling it.

Jiang Yu's smile froze slightly.

Looking at Li Yunqing, whose expression remained calm, an inexplicable and irrepressible thought arose in his heart.

Why... do I suddenly feel like I'm drifting further and further away from her?

Thinking about the meticulous care Li Yunqing had given her these past few days, Jiang Yu shook her head and looked at Li Yunqing with tenderness.

"Impossible, it must be an illusion!"

"She is my future wife."

"My only wife in this life!"
