The Immortal Empress, Unrivaled Through Eternity

The next day, at Mingyu Martial Arts School.

As Li Yunqing carried her medicine box and entered the inner courtyard, she saw Lu Xingzhou, dressed in white, practicing his swordsmanship in the courtyard.

In the dawn light, white robes fluttered, and as the long sword was wielded, silver light flashed and sword energy crisscrossed.

"The gap between the Qi Realm and the Initial Realm is too great!"

Seeing Lu Xingzhou's sword energy pierce through the air, Li Yunqing was slightly shocked.

In the initial stage, one relies entirely on one's physical strength, while in the Qi stage, true qi and sword qi can leave the body, and the power they unleash is terrifying.

It seemed that even a wisp of sword energy could tear a person to shreds.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, the sword light in the sky subsided, and before Li Yunqing could react, Lu Xingzhou's figure had already appeared in front of her.

too fast.

Empowered by true energy, it covered a distance of several feet in a flash.

Even if one can clearly see it with their mental power, their body is completely unable to react.

"It seems that to injure someone in the Qi Refining Realm, one must never confront them head-on!"

"Only by relying on the Yin Spirit and using sword intent can we kill our enemies!"

This thought flashed through Li Yunqing's mind.

Facing an enemy at the Qi Realm level head-on without the support of true qi, the gap is too large.

"Junior Sister Li, you've arrived!"

Lu Xingzhou stood tall, his gaze lingering briefly on Li Yunqing's face. He cupped his hands and said, "Master is inside the room. Please follow me."

"Um!"

Li Yunqing nodded slightly and walked towards the side room.

Even before she got close, she felt an immense pressure emanating from the room.

It feels like facing a mountain peak pressing down on you, sharp and imposing, making you feel uneasy all over.

"Creak!"

The moment the door opened, all the imposing aura vanished without a trace.

The Sword Saint sat cross-legged on the futon, his face pale, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, and his eyes somewhat dim.

Clearly, suppressing the Nine-Headed Serpent's poison is not an easy task, even for a Sword Saint.

"Sword Saint Uncle!" Li Yunqing bowed slightly, stepped into the room, and spoke softly.

"Jiuying is an ancient ferocious beast. It is a snake with nine heads and is skilled in water and fire. Its poison is also related to water and fire, and it has nine poisons and eighty-one variations."

"The four poisons of fire are hallucination, mind confusion, spirit burning, and mental depletion."

"Water has five poisons: it corrodes tendons, melts bones, dissipates qi, devours blood, and transforms the soul."

"This poison is also released instinctively by the Nine-Headed Beast when it hunts, making its food more delicious. Its essence is the wonder of the balance between water and fire."

"The Sword Saint Uncle should not forcefully suppress it, but should maintain the delicate balance between the poisons of water and fire."

Upon hearing Li Yunqing's words, Sword Saint and Lu Xingzhou both paused.

Ancient ferocious beasts are almost all legendary beings, and even some books on immortal cultivation contain very few records of them.

Clearly, such ferocious beasts had almost disappeared during the era of immortals and gods.

Li Yunqing was able to articulate everything so clearly, revealing the essence of the matter; this level of understanding was beyond imagination.

"What is the antidote for this poison?"

Lu Xingzhou asked, "Every time my master uses his power to suppress it, it's like a terrible battle."

This beast's poison is far too complex, involving a balance of water and fire; just hearing about it makes it impossible to understand.

Li Yunqing, however, was able to explain it in detail, proving herself to be a miraculous doctor capable of treating this poison.

"The snake that injured my Sword Saint Uncle was not of pure blood, and its venom was not too strong."

"In the era of immortals and gods, one could forcibly refine it by relying on powerful magic, and even make the magic possess the transformation of water and fire."

"Now we can only rely on medication to balance the condition and use acupuncture to draw out the pathogens."

As she spoke, Li Yunqing opened her medicine chest, took out a jade bottle, and said, "This medicine can regulate the balance of water and fire and suppress their changes. My Uncle Sword Saint can use this medicine to suppress them every day."

"If all goes well, the poison can be neutralized in three or four sessions."

"However, each time the poison is drawn, even with medication to suppress it, the poison will still erupt to some extent."

"Therefore, the poison must be administered only once every other day to prevent harm to the body and mind."

"Moreover, when the poison is drawn, the Sword Saint Uncle may experience hallucinations due to the influence of the water and fire poisons, which may even affect his will and mind."

"Master Uncle has already solidified his sword heart. Just maintain your true self and don't get caught up in illusions."

Upon hearing Li Yunqing's words, the Cangshan Sword Saint took the jade bottle, took out a pill, put it in his mouth, and said, "Miss Li, let's begin!"

This poison is so torturous that he's almost losing control of it.

"I'll guard the goal!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Xingzhou hurriedly went to the door, his expression solemn, as if he was afraid of being disturbed.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunqing no longer hesitated, took out her needle pouch, and quickly inserted needles into the acupoints all over the Sword Saint's body.

Almost instantly, countless silver needles were scattered all over the Sword Saint's body.

"Uncle-Master, hold fast to your principles, I'm about to begin drawing out the poison."

Li Yunqing spoke up to remind him, and the silver needle in her hand pierced straight into the Jianjing acupoint of the Sword Saint.

In that instant, a dark, blood-red liquid flowed down the muscles and flesh of the Sword Saint's arm and gathered in his palm.

Wherever it goes, the skin and flesh visibly turn black.

Even when balanced by medication, the poison of the Nine Infants continues to erode flesh and bones.

"Clang!"

Li Yunqing held her flying sword and gently slashed at the Sword Saint's palm.

"Sizzle!"

The dark liquid dripped down the wound on the Sword Saint's palm and fell into the porcelain bowl that had been prepared beforehand.

The moment the venom touched the porcelain bowl, it began to boil rapidly, bubbling and churning.

It seemed as if flames were burning within it, and even the venom was dwindling and dissipating at a visible rate.

"The poisons of plants can be extracted from their medicinal properties, but what effect will the poison of ferocious beasts have on the Medicine King Scripture?"

Almost instantly, Li Yunqing activated the Medicine King Scripture, absorbing the dissipating poison gas.

"boom!"

The instant the poison gas entered her body, Li Yunqing felt the medicinal power within her body being instantly nourished and ignited.

It burst into flames.

Even her Yin spirit has undergone subtle changes, seemingly nourished by the power of the water and fire poison.

"That's right, the Medicine King Sutra belongs to the Wood element, and the poisons of this ferocious beast, which are of the Water and Fire element, are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining."

Sensing the changes within her body, Li Yunqing did not hesitate and quickly circulated her internal energy.

"Medicine King's Scripture Experience +30."

"Medicine King's Scripture Experience +30."

A series of words flashed quickly before Li Yunqing's eyes.

As her experience grew, Li Yunqing discovered that the internal energy within her body underwent a peculiar change.

A pale golden sword aura.

The herbal medicine king's strength is jade green.

The bright jade-colored jade-like strength.

And the transformation of water and fire caused by devouring and converting the poison of the ferocious beast, resulting in the newly generated fiery red energy and light blue energy.

The moment the five forces intertwined, they rapidly converged, transformed, and circulated, much like the five elements in motion.

The five elements, mutually generating and restraining each other, were perfectly balanced in a short moment.

"Is this the five elements transformation of energy?"

Feeling the flow of the five-colored energy within her body, Li Yunqing had a sudden realization.

Observing the changes in the five elements of energy, their mutual generation and restraint, a row of characters suddenly appeared before her eyes again.

"Five Elements Secret Manual Experience +5."

"Five Elements Secret Manual Experience +5."

In a short moment, he had already mastered the basics of the Five Elements Manual that he had obtained from Qin Yu.

She subconsciously activated the Five Elements Secret Manual, and the five forces blended together seamlessly, merging into one, transforming into a wisp of transparent energy.

The instant this wisp of transparent energy was generated, the five types of energy within her body rapidly converged towards it.

In the blink of an eye, all the energy within her body merged together, transforming into a transparent energy.

Perhaps because of her pure Yin constitution, this force appeared extremely soft and gentle, like flowing water.

At this moment, it is circulating rapidly within the body.

Almost instantly, a tingling, itchy, and numb sensation rose from every part of her body.

"This kind of force has such a powerful effect on tempering the body?"

Li Yunqing was startled and subconsciously sent her spirit away from her body to block out the tingling, itchy, and numb sensations.

After a short while, all the unusual sensations had just subsided.

But not long after the Yin spirit returned, as the Medicine King Sutra absorbed the poisonous gas, another wave of tingling, itching, soreness and numbness surged up.

"So fast!"

Li Yunqing was startled. This transparent energy, a fusion of the five elements, was compatible with her pure Yin body.

The speed of the tempering process was beyond imagination.

Having just broken through the sixth level of the Tendon and Bone Refinement, he has now entered the seventh level.

She quickly circulated the Medicine King Sutra to extract the poisonous gas, rapidly increasing the amount of transparent energy until all the abnormalities subsided.

A line of words appeared before her eyes again.

"Medicine King's Scripture Experience +300."

"The Medicine King Sutra (Mastery 806/5000)"

"Five Elements Secret Manual Experience +60."

"The Secrets of the Five Elements (Beginner Level 30/500)"

"Strength: Mid-grade Initial Realm (55% → 77%)"

"Yin Shen: Minor Success (45% → 55%)"

Looking at the handwriting in front of her, Li Yunqing was overjoyed.

"Seven Refinements to Tendons and Bones!"

"One detoxification not only transformed the internal energy, but also completed two rounds of tempering of the muscles and bones!"

"And... this poison of water and fire can actually enhance the Yin spirit!"
