The Immortal Empress, Unrivaled Through Eternity

Just as Li Yunqing was riding in a carriage into the inner city.

The outer city, a secret stronghold of the God Worshipping Cult, was eerily silent.

The middle-aged man sitting in the main seat of the hall had a gloomy expression, his gaze sweeping over the five figures below.

"You mean, after working tirelessly for half a month, she resolved an epidemic that had just begun to escalate in a single day?"

Upon hearing this, the five people below trembled and all lowered their heads.

That's an epidemic!

Normally, wouldn't it take multiple steps, including pulse diagnosis, analysis, prescription, and trial and error, to find a cure for an epidemic?

This should take at least five or six days, if not more than ten days.

Even if someone is a disciple of a legendary healer, this shouldn't be so outrageous.

But that's just how reality is.

They painstakingly created the plague in order to disrupt the state capital and, more importantly, to lure out that exceptionally intelligent person so they could seize him.

But just as it began to take shape, that woman wiped it out in a single day.

From beginning to end, they didn't even have a chance to make a move.

"My lord, how about we contact the Zhou family and go directly into the inner city to arrest them?"

One person looked up and spoke cautiously.

This exceptionally intelligent person is too troublesome; they almost never leave the house, and when they do, it's either the martial arts school or their home.

There was absolutely no chance to make a move.

The last and only opportunity resulted in the loss of three experts and more than a dozen rank-3 martial artists for the God Worship Cult.

One of them was even at the peak of the initial stage. Although he was a concubine of the Zhou family, he was still one of their people on the surface.

Such beings are few and far between in the God Worship Cult of Qingzhou City.

"After that concubine's son from the Zhou family died last time, the Zhou family erased all clues, just to prevent the Jiang family from finding any fault with him!"

"Even if we tell the Zhou family now, they won't dare to do anything!"

The old man at the head of the group had a gloomy expression and said helplessly, "Fine, we'll wait until that old man from the Qin family dies and Qingzhou City is in chaos before we seize the opportunity to arrest him."

"Behave yourselves lately, don't cause any more trouble, and focus on developing your followers."

The last attack outside the city provoked the three major families and the Demon Suppression Division to join forces to purge the followers of the God Worshipers, although no real followers were harmed.

But without the cover of those believers, their actions became much more difficult.

As for the top-tier spiritual intelligence, the God Worship Cult has never given up on it, but simply hasn't found the right opportunity to make a move.

I never imagined that capturing just one woman would be so difficult.

As for going directly to the inner city to arrest people, that would be suicide.

The outer city might be less heavily guarded, and one could even get out of the city by paying a little money.

However, in the inner city, if unrest occurs, the inner city gates are directly sealed off, and no one can get out.

Especially since the Li family's daughter is the Jiang family's fiancée, any action she takes might directly alarm the Jiang family.

The Worshiping Gods Cult doesn't have many powerful members. It can handle minor chaos, but if it really faces the three major families, it will only be wiped out.

Unless the god they worship is summoned, there is still the Demon Suppression Division.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

The five bowed their heads in response and breathed a sigh of relief.

Attacking the Li family in the inner city would be suicidal, unless it could be forcefully suppressed before any unrest even arises.

However, the fact that the Li family was able to gain a foothold in the inner city suggests that they must have at least one member at the initial stage of perfection, and more than one at that.

With a hundred or so guards and the people from the God Worship Cult, who dares to say they can suppress the chaos in an instant?

"Creak..."

The carriage, guarded by forty guards, slowly drove into the Li family's residence.

"The Five Elements Secret Book."

Inside the carriage, Li Yunqing frowned slightly as she flipped through the book in her hands.

This was a gift from Qin Yu when he left, along with three entry-level sword manuals.

Unfortunately, most immortal cultivation techniques are recorded and passed down through jade slips and magical power and divine consciousness.

Now, due to the backlash from heaven and earth, many jade slips have long been destroyed and are no longer of any use.

The remaining books are mostly from the Immortal Dao era, and they were widely circulated and very common. These have been preserved.

"It's just a Five Elements cultivation technique and some common Five Elements spells!"

Looking at the contents of the Five Elements Manual, Li Yunqing glanced at the panel with great disappointment.

"The Secret Manual of the Five Elements (Beginner 0/30)"

This Five Elements Secret Manual is vastly different from the Medicine King Scripture, and also falls short compared to the Frost Sword Technique.

"It's better than nothing. I can grind for it when I have time to unlock its derivative features."

"These three entry-level sword techniques can be practiced tomorrow."

The next day.

A side room in the courtyard of the pharmacy.

Jiang Jing sat cross-legged in the bathtub, his eyes fixed on Li Yunqing.

Looking at that figure, which had become even more rounded and alluring, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a hint of amusement and provocation flashed in his eyes.

He muttered to himself in a low voice, "What did you eat? It's only been a few days, and it's gotten even bigger?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunqing's body stiffened slightly, and then the silver needles in her hand flashed, instantly covering Jiang Jing's head and back.

"hiss!"

Sensing the brutal methods used, Jiang Jing gasped, clenched his teeth, and trembled violently.

This time, the pain was several times worse than the last time.

Even Jiang Jing, who had long suffered from the torment of the cold poison, could not bear it for a moment.

He tried to speak, but found that he had somehow become unable to make a sound.

Even his own body seemed to be controlled by those tiny silver needles, unable to move.

For a moment, he felt as if there were more than a dozen sharp blades inside his body.

It's slowly cutting away flesh and scraping bones, like being sliced ​​into pieces.

"That temper!"

Jiang Jing's whole body tensed up, cold sweat poured down his face, and he suddenly felt a pang of regret.

Was I teasing her on purpose? Is she going to die of pain here?

Li Yunqing remained calm, showing no emotion whatsoever, but she began to draw out the cold poison in an extremely brutal manner.

This time, it disregarded Jiang Jing's body and directly drew out three strands of cold poison.

In that instant, the hot water in the bathtub froze instantly, and frost and snow fell from the surrounding air.

Jiang Jing's body from the chest down was frozen in the bathtub.

As the cold poison was being extracted, Li Yunqing showed no mercy, tearing it out of her body as if her bones and marrow were being ripped out.

Even Jiang Jing could not bear this kind of pain; the physical pain was magnified several times over.

At the very beginning, her eyes rolled back and she fainted in the bathtub.

"I thought you were so tough?"

"That's not enough?"

Seeing this, Li Yunqing was speechless and immediately activated the Medicine King Scripture.

"Buzz!"

The icy poison spread throughout her body in an instant, freezing the air around her.

It looked as if it were covered with a layer of ice and snow.

"Medicine King Sutra Experience +30"

"Medicine King Sutra Experience +30"

A moment later, the familiar tingling, itchy, and numb sensation rose from Li Yunqing's bones and spread throughout her body.

Her spirit left her body, isolating herself from bodily sensations, and immersed herself in the transformation and comprehension of the cold poison.

a long time.

Li Yunqing opened her eyes, and a line of writing flashed before her.

"Frost Sword Technique experience +355."

"Frost Sword Technique (Mastery 2056/3000)"

"Medicine King's Scripture Experience +318."

"The Medicine King Sutra (Mastery 318/5000)"

Strength: Mid-level of Initial Realm (44% → 55%)

"Frosty Sword Intent: Beginner (55% → 72%)"

"Yin Shen: Minor Success (42% → 45%)"

"My sword intent is almost fully formed!"

"The Frost Sword Technique is almost complete."

Looking at her harvest, Li Yunqing smiled, glanced at Jiang Jing who was still unconscious, and walked out of the room.

With Jiang Jing's strength, he probably won't freeze to death or die from the pain.

She couldn't be bothered to care anymore.

This man looks cold and ruthless, like a god of death, but inside he is despicable and wicked.

If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll never learn.

"At this rate... if I extract three more strands of the cold poison next time, his cold poison will be cured!"

"No... the cold poison can be cured, but we must administer another poison, just in case!"

With that thought in mind, Li Yunqing did not hesitate and turned around to enter the pharmacy to begin preparing the poison.

She had to be wary of people who appeared cold on the surface but were actually sharp-tongued and malicious inside.

No! It's no exaggeration to say that no amount of prevention is too much.

Just as the poison was administered to Jiang Jing and he stepped out of the room...

Footsteps approached from afar at the entrance of the courtyard.

Li Yunqing turned her head subconsciously.

All that could be seen were Master Liu, Lu Xingzhou, and a tall, scholar-like middle-aged man entering the courtyard one after the other.

Like Lu Xingzhou, he was dressed in white, clean and flawless.

His face didn't look old at all; he didn't look forty at all, but more like thirty.

He was fair-skinned and beardless, and his expression was not cold; on the contrary, he had a gentle, back-to-basics quality.

Only those eyes seemed to possess an invisible sharpness, as if they could see through people's hearts.

"Is he the Sword Saint of Cangshan?"
