The Immortal Empress, Unrivaled Through Eternity

She had no choice but to break off the engagement.

But it is absolutely impossible to jump from one fire pit into another.

The commander in front of her, however, noticed her reluctance.

He wanted to offer to protect himself and his family in exchange for helping her annul the engagement.

Not only must we heal the Commander's injuries, but we must also follow the Commander.

Not only does she have to busy herself saving people, but she also has to be a slave and a concubine. Where in the world is there such a good thing?

Even if the person in front of you is a great figure in the Qi Realm, you shouldn't be so greedy.

She didn't want to get too involved with them; a fair trade was the best option.

If not, then please leave!

As for the consultation fee, she probably wouldn't dare to ask for too much, since this is a Qi Realm expert.

How could I have said such a thing?

Although the man's face remained expressionless, appearing extremely cold and indifferent, he was secretly startled.

He already had to come for treatment twice a month, using the Ghost Needle technique to suppress the cold poison and prevent it from flaring up.

Therefore, I arrived here early this morning.

They also naturally saw the interaction between Jiang Yu and the girl in front of them, and roughly sensed the girl's dislike for Jiang Yu.

I didn't have much hope when I saw the girl's age.

I only wanted to give it a try because I heard that he was the apprentice of the legendary healer, Granny Ghost.

Upon hearing that Li Yunqing could cure the poison and was so beautiful, he blurted out his words almost without hesitation.

Even he himself was a little confused at this moment.

The dignified Demon Suppression Division, which has hunted down countless demons and evil gods, and whose will is unwavering, was almost thrown off balance by a woman.

No matter how beautiful or alluring this woman is, she shouldn't act like this.

He remained expressionless, his fingers unconsciously tapping the table, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

After a long silence, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "What price do I need to pay?"

The thousand-year-old cold poison was incurable even by the legendary healer, the old woman, and many doctors had never even heard of it, let alone tried to treat it.

The girl in front of me is the first person I dare to speak up for and who can cure.

Although he still had some doubts, he still wanted to give it a try.

Ninety percent of his true energy was used to suppress the cold poison, which even affected his lifespan.

He suffered the torment of bone-chilling cold every day at midnight for three years, and could die at any moment.

If it could truly cure the disease, he would be willing to do it under any conditions, as long as it didn't violate his principles.

Of course, if the conditions were too harsh, he would naturally have other means to make Li Yunqing willingly treat him.

In a society where strength reigns supreme, what autonomy do the weak have to make their own choices?

Now it's up to Li Yunqing to make her choice.

Li Yunqing fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.

If one possesses magical powers, curing the thousand-year-old cold poison is not difficult. As long as one refines a elixir and combines it with the Seven Absolute Needles, the cold poison can be easily removed.

She could even use the Cold Poison to cultivate the Medicine King Sutra.

However, without magical power, it is impossible to refine a real elixir, and the treatment of the thousand-year-old cold poison is a bit troublesome.

Especially once the cold poison is triggered, without a medicine to protect the internal organs, the moment the cold poison erupts, it is enough to turn a person into a pile of ice shards.

"Three conditions!"

After thinking for a long time, Li Yunqing finally responded.

If one can cultivate with the help of the thousand-year-old cold poison, the Medicine King Scripture will improve faster, generate more energy, and accelerate martial arts cultivation.

She didn't want to miss such an opportunity.

Charging a lower consultation fee doesn't seem like a big problem.

Hearing Li Yunqing's words, the man breathed a slight sigh of relief and asked, "What are the conditions?"

It's good that it can be cured.

He wasn't worried that Li Yunqing would make excessive demands, after all, in this world, strength still reigns supreme.

"Since you are one of the four commanders of the Demon Suppression Division, it shouldn't be difficult for you to help others accumulate merits."

"My first condition is that I need an adult to help my brother obtain the fundamental diagram of the artistic conception."

Li Yunqing responded, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

If her family is powerful enough, she will naturally have nothing to fear.

In terms of one's own spiritual practice, no one else can help.

Then we can only start with the family. My elder brother has already reached the upper level of the initial stage and can reach perfection at any time. Naturally, we should consider things like the Intent Fundamental Diagram.

As for treatment, although we cannot refine real elixirs, we can use medicinal power to treat the patient in ten or more sessions.

Each time a wisp of cold poison is drawn out, it is just within her tolerance range, allowing her to better cultivate the Medicine King Scripture.

You can get help and improve your own abilities.

"Since the fundamental diagram cannot be taken out, I can promise to help your brother obtain three opportunities to comprehend it."

Li Yunqing nodded upon hearing this, and continued without surprise, "The second condition is that if my family has the power to exterminate its members, you must protect my family."

The engagement will inevitably be called off in the future. No matter how strong she is, there will always be things she can't take care of.

Being prepared is better than never having to worry about it.

"Okay!" the man nodded.

As the commander of the Demon Suppression Division, protecting a small family is not difficult.

Unless they are mortal enemies, even the Jiang, Qin, and Zhou families should give him some face.

Moreover, it's not unreasonable to only protect the enemy, not kill them.

"Third, you must help me once when I need it."

A Qi Realm expert is enough to help her resolve any crisis.

It is crucial and an indispensable safeguard for her before she grows up.

"Sure!" The man nodded and said, "I am Jiang Jing, the Commander of the Demon Suppression Division. Just send me a message when you need my help."

It was just a move, not a desperate act, so it's not fair to be too harsh.

At this moment, his impression of the girl in front of him improved even more.

For some reason, upon hearing these three conditions, he felt a slight sense of disappointment.

The girl in front of me had actually given both conditions to her family.

Instead of directly proposing to use his influence to annul the engagement, it was somewhat unexpected.

If you want to use his influence to annul the engagement and get him to take action, you must have a sufficient reason.

Especially when facing the Jiang family.

The best way is naturally to follow him and become one of his people.

In that case, even if the Jiang family is unwilling, they will not fight to the death with a Qi Realm expert.

"That's fine, I'm afraid I'll get crushed if I ask for too much!"

Li Yunqing breathed a slight sigh of relief. The three conditions seemed few, but the person in front of her was a Qi Realm expert.

As for using Jiang Jing's influence to annul the engagement, she felt it was a huge trap.

If that happens, she'll probably be entangled with Jiang Jing again.

Moreover, Jiang Jing is the Chief of the Demon Suppression Division, and is more likely to become the Commander of the Demon Suppression Division in the future, backed by the current Emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty.

If they were to break off the engagement again, it would be even more difficult than for the Jiang family.

If the emperor were to bestow another marriage upon her, she would have to fight against the entire dynasty alone, which would be a losing proposition.

The best approach is to eliminate any opportunities for entanglement.

A fair and just transaction is best, where everyone gets what they need.

She has enough power to break off the marriage.

"When will it begin?"

Jiang Jing asked, a hint of urgency in his eyes.

Now that the terms have been agreed upon, he still wants to see if Li Yunqing actually has the means to cure the thousand-year-old cold poison.

"We can start this afternoon!"

Li Yunqing did not want to delay, or rather, she wanted to show Jiang Jing in front of her that she could really cure his cold poison.

Only in this way will Jiang Jing do his best when needed.

"I need to brew some medicine and make some preparations."

"Treatment is given every three days, and the frequency is adjusted according to the situation. It will take about a month to remove the cold toxins."

Hearing such certain words, Jiang Jing's doubts gradually faded.

It's only a month; he can afford to wait.

Then, as if he had just remembered something, he said in a hoarse voice, "Since that's the case, I'll also tell you some news."

"Be extra careful these days."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunqing paused slightly and subconsciously looked at Jiang Jing, somewhat puzzled.

Given the immense power of the Demon Suppression Division, the news could not possibly be false.

Almost instinctively, she thought of the Church of God.

Now only the God Worshipping Cult wants to capture her.

"The old hag has helped me a lot. Since you are her disciple, it won't hurt to tell you."

Jiang Jing tapped his fingers slowly on the table and said, "Qingzhou City seems quiet, but undercurrents are surging."

"Especially this turmoil involving the God Worshipping Cult, the situation is very complex."

"In addition, with the strongest person in Qingzhou and the patriarch of the Qin family nearing the end of his lifespan, there will be a major change."

"The Jiang family cannot remain uninvolved either."

"Your engagement to the Jiang family will inevitably involve you in this."

"Some people may even use your identity to trick the Jiang family."
