The Immortal Empress, Unrivaled Through Eternity

"Pfft!"

Li Yunqing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Miss, are you laughing at me for being stupid?" Xiao Lan's face turned even more bitter, and she frowned.

"No!"

Li Yunqing suppressed a laugh, looked at Xiao Lan's suspicious gaze, and said earnestly, "Really, no!"

"My Xiaolan is very smart; she can do things that Miss can't!"

"For example, back scrubbing, massage, serving soup, flower arranging, and so on!"

Seeing Xiaolan's expression brighten, Li Yunqing smiled gently.

Suddenly, the laughter of his father, elder brother, and Old Xu, as well as the indifference of Master Liu, came to mind.

She seemed to understand.

Back then, that's probably how they saw themselves too, right?

Instantly, the smile on Li Yunqing's face froze.

"Tap tap tap..."

Jiang Yu, who had returned, stepped into the courtyard again, holding a jade bottle in his hand, and handed it to Li Yunqing.

"This is?"

Li Yunqing asked in confusion, still harboring some prejudice against Jiang Yu.

Especially since this guy dared to propose marriage after only meeting me once, disrupting my plans.

"This is a Qi and Blood Pill, made from a combination of over ten nourishing medicinal herbs. It's extremely effective at replenishing Qi and blood!"

"Your constitution is naturally weak; if you don't nourish yourself, it will damage your very foundation."

Jiang Yu explained patiently, without the slightest hint of negligence in her expression.

He was even extremely polite and courteous, never getting within three steps of Li Yunxia and maintaining a distance.

Li Yunqing took the jade bottle and poured out a brown pill, which instantly emitted a pleasant fragrance.

"How much?" she asked.

She naturally understood the principle that martial arts training requires medicinal supplements and that the poor should pursue literature while the rich should pursue martial arts.

Although the Li family was not as powerful as the major families, they had at least established themselves in the inner city, and her food, clothing, and daily necessities had always been excellent since she was a child.

She also received several dozen taels of silver every month, and since she didn't like going out, over the years she had accumulated a total of ten thousand taels of silver.

Although she knew that the guy in front of her had already come to propose marriage, and that he was backed by the Jiang family, who were also quite wealthy.

But having learned martial arts, she was destined not to marry, and therefore, she was unwilling to take advantage of others.

Of course, those who truly offended her are another matter.

"Fifty taels..." Jiang Yu replied.

"Xiao Lan, give me the money!"

Li Yunqing spoke, picked up the pill, put it to her lips, and gently licked it with the tip of her tongue.

This scene caused the 'one grain' that was about to leave Jiang Yu's mouth to get stuck in his throat.

His eyes blinked: "How come this little girl is kind of cute?"

"It seems that learning medicine and elixirs should also be put on the agenda."

Feeling that there were no other abnormalities in her body, Li Yunqing put the pill in her mouth and swallowed it gently.

In an instant, it felt as if a flame rose in her stomach, turning into a stream of heat that quickly spread to her limbs and bones.

Wherever it went, the body, which had just been somewhat tired, began to recover quickly.

Her pale face gradually regained its color, and her body gradually regained its strength.

And that fiery heat still surged through his limbs and bones.

"very good!"

Feeling the effects of the medicine, she resumed her stance and began practicing her boxing techniques.

"They're quite vigilant..." Jiang Yu said, somewhat realizing.

He glanced at Li Yunqing, then at the fifty-tael silver note in his hand, and muttered to himself, "Fifty taels per pill, ten pills per bottle, is this account correct?"

However, he didn't say much, accepted the silver note, and silently watched Li Yunqing practice her boxing techniques with a smile on his lips.

When her father came to propose marriage, she did not object.

If nothing unexpected happens, this girl will definitely be my wife in the future.

"Although she has a bit of a temper, she's pretty good."

A thought flashed through Jiang Yu's mind, and her eyes gleamed.

He was somewhat interested in the girl when they first met; otherwise, he wouldn't have sent someone to inquire about her.

He was proficient in all the arts, including playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. His zither music, in particular, was captivating and enchanting, even stirring the deepest thoughts in people's hearts.

Such skill in playing the zither is enough to make him a master, yet he is not ostentatious at all.

If he hadn't overheard it by chance that day, he wouldn't even have known that there was such a person in Qingzhou City.

Compared to the young ladies from other families, who seemed eager to let the whole city know about their talents, she was different.

His interest was even greater in Li Yunqing's quiet and unassuming nature.

"Mingyu Fist Experience +1."

As her boxing skills became increasingly proficient, words would flash before Li Yunqing's eyes every few minutes.

With the nourishment of the medicine, she didn't feel tired. On the contrary, as she practiced the boxing, her body became more powerful and agile.

"Mingyu Fist Technique (Beginner Level 5/10)"

"This medicine is really good!"

As she watched the changes on the panel, Li Yunqing could still feel the heat flowing through her body, filling her limbs and bones.

The effect of this one pill is enough for her to cultivate for a day.

Moreover, she could feel that her spirit was not weak at all.

Generally speaking, practicing boxing with such dedication not only consumes physical strength but also wears down one's spirit.

"It's thanks to the vibrant spirit of its special ability!"

"So, I can keep practicing and grinding for experience points."

"Can you master the basics today? Achieving minor success in three days, mastery in ten, and then complete mastery?"

"Perhaps it won't take more than a month to achieve perfection and become an entry-level martial artist."

Thinking of this, the pressure and turmoil in her heart instantly disappeared.

All the pressure and anxiety stem from a lack of strength and concerns about one's own safety.

Once you have confidence, all those pressures and anxieties cease to be problems and vanish.

Moreover, as her experience grew, her understanding of Mingyu Fist deepened, accumulating continuously in her mind.

"It's thanks to his exceptional intelligence!"

"The boxing technique stimulates the circulation of qi and blood, vibrating the muscles, bones, and flesh throughout the body."

"This is how you nourish your physical body. The stronger your qi and blood, the stronger your body will become with the martial arts techniques."

"And strong muscles and bones will in turn generate stronger and more qi and blood, and so on in a continuous cycle."

Li Yunqing took light steps, and as she turned, she clenched her right fist and swung it out.

In that instant, she clearly felt the tremors in her bones and meridians, as well as the flow of heat and blood within her body.

This is the benefit of a strong mind, coupled with the added advantage of the ability to focus without distraction.

She gained more and more insights.

"My body is naturally weaker than that of men, so the boxing techniques practiced by Jiang Yu need to be adjusted and changed."

"What suits you best will achieve the best results!"

"The steps shouldn't be too big or too small, yes, that's it, enough to vibrate every muscle and bone in your legs!"

"Power should be transmitted from the waist, and the legs should be used to drive the movement."

"It flows naturally and smoothly, and can transmit power and energy to the greatest extent."

"And when you throw a punch, you need to use the power of your waist to generate it. You can't use all your strength, but you can't be too weak either."

"Otherwise, the vibration of muscles, bones, and blood vessels cannot be maximized!"

As Li Yunqing practiced, she adjusted the posture and force in her boxing technique.

Gradually, she became completely immersed in it.

It was as if she were the only one left in the world, unable to feel the passage of time or the disturbance of any sound.

Gradually, her steps, turns, and punches became increasingly fluid, even creating gusts of wind.

Xiao Lan, who was burying her head in her work and memorizing, raised her head slightly and looked at her young mistress, her eyes sparkling: "Miss, you played so beautifully."

Jiang Yu, who was carefully observing and looking for the right moment to give pointers, also paused slightly and stared intently at Li Yunqing.

Her long, straight legs resembled a crane dancing lightly.

Her slender, delicate waist swayed like a willow branch swaying in a gentle breeze.

Her high, prominent chest moved with her posture, as if a jade rabbit was hidden inside her clothes, thumping loudly.

Fine beads of sweat glistened in the sunlight on her fair neck and face.

A few strands of hair were still stuck to her forehead, playfully bouncing in the wind before her bright, focused eyes.

Every move they make is as beautiful as a poem or a painting.

Jiang Yu was momentarily stunned and dazed. Wanting to approach, she murmured softly, "So this is how graceful a woman can be when practicing martial arts!"

"Mingyu Fist Experience +5."

"Mingyu Fist (Beginner 0/100)"

As Li Yunqing stopped, a line of words suddenly appeared before her eyes.

At the same time, countless insights about Mingyu Fist silently seeped into my heart.

A bright smile spread across her face, and a melodious murmur began to emanate from her lips.

"Is this the basics?"

"So learning martial arts is this simple!"

Upon hearing Li Yunqing's soft murmur, Jiang Yu suddenly snapped back to reality, and his expression became quite interesting.

"Is martial arts easy to learn?"
