The Immortal Empress, Unrivaled Through Eternity

"That's right, the Nine-Headed Serpent's poison inherently possesses the power to cause hallucinations and burn the soul!"

"It's not surprising that it can temper and strengthen the Yin Spirit!"

After silently reflecting for a moment, Li Yunqing suddenly realized.

The Frost Sword Technique has long lost its effectiveness in tempering the Yin Spirit.

After all, his Yin Spirit had already reached a minor level of mastery, and each time he used the Frost Sword Technique's hand seals, he couldn't deplete his pure spirit in a short period of time.

Naturally, it becomes impossible to address specific bugs anymore.

"It seems he can draw out the poison twice more, but his Yin Spirit still hasn't reached mastery!"

"However, this Five Elements Manual does have some use."

The Five Elements Secret Manual originated in the era of immortals and gods, and was the most widely circulated, but also the most common and mediocre cultivation method.

It is suitable for almost any intelligent person, who can absorb the spiritual energy of the five elements of heaven and earth and transform it into magical power that suits their own constitution.

Unless she can hunt down some evil gods and obtain stronger techniques from them.

Otherwise, this Five Elements Secret Manual would already be considered a rare cultivation technique.

"This newly generated energy contains the transformation of the five elements and belongs to the pure Yin category, so it seems to be much stronger than ordinary energy."

"Let's call it the Yin Force!"

"It may become the power of Taiyin in the future."

Li Yunqing whispered to herself.

Mingyu Jin is a martial arts technique, which has now been combined with immortal techniques.

I wonder if, once magical power is finally formed, it should be considered martial arts or immortality?

"Or perhaps a new path of spiritual practice?"

This thought flashed through Li Yunqing's mind, but it quickly dissipated.

If you haven't even reached the Qi Realm, how can you talk about a new path of cultivation?

Even if it happens in the future, it will likely go through several stages of evolution and will never happen overnight.

She lowered her head slightly and glanced at the wound on the Sword Saint's hand. The Nine Infant Poison had reached its limit this time.

After taking out the medicinal powder and bandaging the swordsman, she finally looked at him.

His brows furrowed and relaxed at times, and at other times they were tightly furrowed, clearly indicating that he was still trapped in the illusion.

"That shouldn't be the case!"

Li Yunqing looked puzzled. With the Sword Saint's will and belief that had long been solidified in his sword heart, it was impossible for him to be so deeply affected by the illusion.

After the poison has been drawn once, the Sword Saint should be sober.

She reached out and gently placed her fingers on the swordsman's wrist; his pulse was rapid and erratic.

"What kind of illusion is this that even the Sword Saint has fallen into?"

Li Yunqing was a little curious.

This is a Sword Saint, who pioneered the Sword Heart Path. His will should be extremely firm and unaffected in the slightest.

It's somewhat unbelievable that he's now trapped in an illusion.

"Is this the illusion caused by the Nine-Headed Serpent's poison?"

The Sword Saint sat atop the high platform, like an emperor.

Surrounded by beautiful women, surrounded by various wine aromas and tactile sensations, the scene was so vividly clear that it didn't seem like an illusion at all.

He looked down at the audience, where a dozen or so petite women in light clothing sang and danced gracefully, his eyes showing no emotion.

"I've seen far more beautiful women than you..."

The swordsman whispered, about to shatter everything with his will, when the woman below the stage changed instantly in response to his words.

The Sword Saint paused, his gaze instinctively drifting towards the audience below.

Then a woman who looked exactly like Li Yunqing appeared, dressed in a light gauze dress, and began to dance and sing.

Her legs were fair and straight, long and slender, and her small, delicate feet, as exquisite as jade, lightly touched the white carpet.

As she moved, the light gauze around her waist fluttered, seemingly unable to conceal her round, peach-like buttocks, with her private parts appearing and disappearing in the shadows.

Her slender waist swayed, her gauze dress undulated at her chest, and her rounded breasts seemed to leap out like a jade rabbit.

Her face was delicate and beautiful, her neck was fair and tender, and her black hair was wispy and smooth.

Every move she makes exudes charm, allure, and captivating beauty.

Even the Sword Saint was momentarily stunned.

"It can actually change according to my wishes?"

The Sword Saint spoke softly, scrutinized her for a moment, and said, "Although she is alluring and captivating, you cannot imitate her aura. You are like a demon, deserving of death!"

As the words fell, the sword saint's eyes flashed with sword intent, and everything before him was suddenly torn apart.

In that instant, the scenery around him suddenly changed and transformed into a village.

"here it is?"

The Sword Saint strode forward, looking at the familiar place before him, and instinctively walked towards the village.

Before long, they arrived at a house.

Through the window, he saw inside the house a couple in their thirties and a girl of about five or six years old, and he instantly burst into tears.

"Father! Mother! Sister!"

He called out instinctively, but before the sound could even be heard, a series of beast roars suddenly echoed from the distant mountains and forests.

The next moment, one after another, demonic beasts rushed out of the mountains and forests, heading straight for the village.

"Father! Mother! Sister! Run!"

The Sword Saint roared, his eyes bloodshot, and tried to rush into the house, only to find that the village that had just been in front of him seemed to have vanished in an instant.

No matter how fast he ran, he couldn't get close.

They could only watch helplessly as their familiar village was trampled into the ground by countless demonic beasts.

"Demons deserve to die!"

He was filled with grief and indignation, roared to the sky, and was about to draw his sword to fight when a voice seemed to come from the horizon.

"Sword Saint Uncle, everything in this illusion is fake. Don't fall into it!"

Upon hearing that voice, the Sword Saint suddenly stopped, his eyes still bloodshot.

He knew perfectly well that it was fake, but he couldn't bear to see his parents and sister being devoured by monsters, even if it was fake.

"Master, wake up!"

"Sword Saint Uncle, wake up!"

Two voices rang out again, accompanied by a piercing pain that rose from his fingers.

When he opened his eyes, he found Lu Xingzhou and Li Yunqing standing in front of him, looking somewhat nervous.

All ten of his fingertips were pierced by silver needles.

The pain in his fingers, which was connected to his heart, had just woken him up.

Looking at Lu Xingzhou and Li Yunqing before him, the Sword Saint calmed his emotions, suppressed his grief and anger, and said with a sigh, "I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Sword Saint Uncle, next time I need to draw out the poison, I'll make some Mind-Clearing Pills."

Seeing that the Sword Saint had regained consciousness, Li Yunqing breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "The illusion is all fake. The Mind-Clearing Pill can suppress it a little and keep you awake."

"No!"

The Sword Saint shook his head slightly, the image of his parents and sister being killed by demons flashing through his mind again. He solemnly said, "I will not succumb to it again."

He was even more afraid that if he took Qingxin Pills, he would never see his parents and sister again.

To be able to see it in this illusion is a kind of luck.

"All right!"

Li Yunqing nodded slightly, somewhat surprised.

What kind of illusion could have caused the Sword Saint Uncle to fall into it?

Moreover, whether it was just her imagination or not, the moment the Sword Saint opened her eyes, she seemed to sense endless rage and hatred.

An unresolved hatred.

"Uncle Sword Saint, please rest for a while. The next round of poison extraction can be performed the day after tomorrow!"

Li Yunqing put away the silver needles and got up to take her leave.

The Sword Saint looked down at the wound on his palm, which was bandaged with strips of cloth.

He looked up again at Li Yunqing's departing figure and fell silent for a moment.

Compared to the alluring and seductive Li Yunqing in the illusion, the gentle, quiet, and ethereal beauty before me is much more attractive.

"If my sister were still alive, I wonder what she would be like?"

The Sword Saint felt a pang of melancholy.

The thought of those demons stirred up a murderous intent within him once again.

Afternoon, in the courtyard of the pharmacy.

Li Yunqing, with her long hair cascading down her shoulders and a gentle, serene expression, sat alone under the shade of a tree, holding the Cangshan Sword Manual in her hands, reading it carefully.

Yesterday I only had a cursory look to get a general understanding of the Sword Saint's swordsmanship.

Now that she has condensed her sword heart, she naturally wants to carefully comprehend its mysteries.

In particular, the sword practice method, when combined with the Medicine King Scripture, Mingyu Fist, and the Five Elements Secret Manual, can cultivate the Taiyin Force.

It can temper the body and internal organs more quickly.

"We are still missing the Mingyu Skill, as well as the water and fire elemental techniques."

"I can find Master Liu to teach me the Mingyu Gong, but where can I find the Water and Fire Gong techniques?"

Thoughts raced through Li Yunqing's mind.

If she has the opportunity to integrate the cultivation techniques and secret manuals associated with the Five Elements in the future, it will surely make her cultivation path smoother.

When combined with a pure Yin body, the magical power and true energy refined from the Taiyin energy will become even stronger.

However, now she can only rely on the poison of the Nine Infants to generate water and fire energy, which is naturally weak.

Even with the help of the Five Elements Secret Manual, the transformation is still relatively slow.

Only when all five elements advance in unison can one become faster and stronger.

"Tomorrow we'll go find Master Liu and retrieve the Mingyu Skill first!"

"Perhaps there are other cultivation methods in Master Liu's study?"

Li Yunqing remembered that the Frost Sword Manual that Granny Ghost had last time was obtained from Master Liu's study.

If I could get into the study, I would definitely rummage around there.

Outside the gate of the small courtyard.

Lu Xingzhou stood tall, holding a long sword, quietly watching the girl under the shade of the tree.

The girl was dressed in purple, with long hair falling over her shoulders. Her profile was gentle and charming, and her figure was curvaceous.

Even just sitting there, quiet like a flower blooming silently, she is still captivating and impossible to look away from.

After a long while, he slowly came to his senses, stepped into the courtyard, and said loudly.

"Junior Sister Li, I will teach you swordsmanship."

"The Demon-Slaying Sword Technique created by my master."
