The Immortal Empress, Unrivaled Through Eternity

The following day, in a side room of the pharmacy courtyard.

"Frost Sword Technique experience +235."

"Frost Sword Technique (Mastery 2258/5000)"

"Medicine King's Scripture Experience +385."

"The Medicine King Sutra (Mastery 1303/5000)"

"Strength: Mid-grade Initial Realm (77% → 88%)"

"Frosty Sword Intent: Mastery (7% → 11%)"

"Yin Shen: Minor Success (55% → 60%)"

"With the Eighth Refinement of Bone and Tendon, you'll soon be able to enter the Upper Grade of the Initial Realm."

Li Yunqing glanced at the panel, her eyes filled with joy, but when she looked down at Jiang Jing in the bathtub, her expression instantly returned to calm.

"The cold poison has been removed, the transaction is complete. Don't forget what you promised!"

Li Yunqing spoke, but as soon as she finished speaking, an aura suddenly rose from Jiang Jing's body.

"Bang!"

The bathtub suddenly shattered under that force.

Li Yunqing lightly touched the ground with her toes and instantly retreated to the doorway. Her fingers, hidden in her sleeve, held a pinch of medicinal powder as she warily looked at Jiang Jing.

If Jiang Jing dares to make any unusual moves, she will definitely activate the poison she personally planted in Jiang Jing's body.

She was extremely wary of Jiang Jing, a man with a sharp tongue, a ruthless heart, and the courage to take action.

"Buzz!"

Jiang Jing stood up, his body surrounded by a light red aura, and his body was filled with water vapor that quickly evaporated.

The clothes dried in the blink of an eye, and the whole room was instantly filled with water vapor.

"Mid-stage Qi Realm, my strength has finally returned to its peak!"

He murmured softly, a hint of satisfaction flashing across his cold, hard face. He looked up at Li Yunqing, his tone solemn: "I won't forget what I promised you!"

"Your elder brother has accumulated enough merit and has been comprehending the essence of the Daoist arts within the Demon Suppression Division these past few days!"

"It won't be long before your brother becomes a Qi Realm martial artist."

"I have something to do today, so I'll be leaving now!"

With that, Jiang Jing put on his outer robe, stormed out of the room, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Jiang Jing like this, Li Yunqing breathed a slight sigh of relief, but was also somewhat surprised by Jiang Jing's change.

Today, Jiang Jing is treating the cold poison with utmost care and discipline.

"It seems he truly understands; that's for the best!"

Watching Jiang Jing leave, Li Yunqing glanced around at the room filled with steam. With a thought, a terrifying chill suddenly burst forth from her body.

The next moment, the water vapor in the room instantly froze and splattered onto the ground with a crackling sound.

"Having absorbed the chilling energy of the cold poison, it has become stronger and its range has expanded."

Seeing the chill covering an area of ​​two zhang around her, Li Yunqing was delighted.

Her strength changes every day. Once she heals the Sword Saint tomorrow or the day after, she will surely reach the advanced level of the initial realm.

They won't be far from reaching the perfection of the initial stage.

At this rate, she should be able to annul the engagement by the end of the month at the latest.

He repaid the Li family by relying on the essence of the painting.

Once the engagement is annulled, no one in this world can force her to do anything she doesn't want to do.

"And martial arts too. I didn't expect Mingyu Martial Arts School to have such a large collection."

She arrived at the martial arts school early in the morning and went to find Master Liu. She went into the study and looked through many books.

Name: Li Yunqing.

Lifespan: 15/∞

Strength: Mid-level of Initial Realm (88%)

Frosty Sword Intent: Mastery (11%)

Yin Spirit: Minor Success (60%)

Skills: Music, chess, calligraphy and painting (perfect) Characteristics: Single-minded, energetic, photographic memory, exceptional talent, musical talent, and unparalleled intelligence.

Frost Sword Manual (Mastery 2258/5000) Characteristics: Naturally formed sword bones, clear sword mind.

Medicine King Sutra (Mastery 1303/5000) Characteristics: Identifies medicine by its fragrance, immune to all poisons, and possesses spiritual properties of herbs and trees.

Five Elements Secret Manual (Beginner 66/500) Characteristics: None.

Mingyu Gong (Beginner 0/50) Characteristics: Ice-like skin and jade-like bones, clear mind and pure Yin body.

Blazing Sea Finger (Beginner 0/30) Trait: None

Wind and Cloud Movement (Beginner 0/30) Trait: None

"We have the body techniques, finger techniques, and the Bright Jade Skill!"

"All five elements are present!"

Looking at the display on the panel, Li Yunqing's face was beaming with smiles.

Although the finger techniques and body techniques are only mid-grade martial arts, they can still generate corresponding water and fire energy.

Once the Sword Saint is healed and reaches the advanced stage of the initial realm, one can begin cultivation, advancing through the five elements and accumulating more Yin energy.

At that time, it should only take a few days to reach the perfection of the first stage.

Once she reaches the initial stage of perfection, with her sword intent, opening her dantian and condensing her true qi will surely lead to success.

"This past month... has been really tough!"

Li Yunqing sighed softly.

She has barely slept once in the past month, either practicing or on the path of practice.

Almost without stopping.

Now that she can see the light, she no longer needs to be so tense.

"It's time to practice swordsmanship!"

After tidying up the side room, Li Yunqing, carrying her sword, arrived at the open space in the courtyard and saw Lu Xingzhou already standing there with his sword, waiting silently.

It seems we've been waiting for quite some time.

"Senior Brother Lu, let's begin!"

She stepped forward, gave a slight bow, and spoke softly.

"Alright, today I'll teach you Sword Skill 2 and Sword Skill 3."

Lu Xingzhou remained calm, but his eyes darted away from Li Yunqing, avoiding her gaze.

This seemed completely different from Lu Xingzhou, who was usually calm, composed, sincere, and dared to look anyone in the eye.

"Watch closely!"

Lu Xingzhou spoke, and his long sword suddenly flew out of its sheath. His body moved with the sword, and his moves were fierce and unleashed.

As with yesterday, after unleashing Sword Two and Sword Three, he stood to the side.

His gaze would sometimes fall on Li Yunqing, and sometimes turn away somewhat guiltily: "Give it a try. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me directly."

"good!"

Li Yunqing nodded, the moves of Sword Two and Sword Three were so clear that every move was imprinted in her mind.

Each move was somewhat complicated, but it was still not too difficult for Li Yunqing.

After just five repetitions, she had already mastered the sword moves that suited her.

As the sword intent burst forth, frost and snow fell within a two-zhang radius around her, and she was completely immersed in the sword moves.

Lu Xingzhou, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly became bolder when he saw Li Yunqing engrossed in her cultivation. His gaze fell on Li Yunqing without any hesitation.

Looking at her graceful figure and exquisite, flawless face, Lu Xingzhou suddenly recalled the embarrassment he had felt the previous night.

I was so engrossed in watching that I couldn't fall asleep that night.

As soon as I close my eyes, all I can see in my mind is the image of that girl in the purple dress dancing with a sword.

Seeing such a graceful figure dancing amidst the frost and snow before his eyes, his heart began to pound uncontrollably.

His eyes glazed over again, unable to look away.

Just standing here, it's as if time is passing by unnoticed.

"Frost Sword Manual experience +20."

"Frost Sword Manual experience +20."

"Frosty Sword Intent: Mastery (11% → 12%)"

Li Yunqing also couldn't feel the passage of time, and with her mind completely focused, she was even less aware of the outside world.

He was completely immersed in the swordsmanship.

The Demon-Slaying Sword Technique is born for killing; each move from Sword One to Sword Nine is stronger than the last.

Until dusk.

"JX3!"

Li Yunqing sighed inwardly.

In that instant, all the sword light and frost gathered into the longsword, slashing horizontally through the air.

"Sizzle..."

The sword's edge sliced ​​through the void, like a sharp blade tearing through cloth, the tearing sound clearly audible.

It also possessed a chilling power, stretching for several feet like a thin thread.

Wherever it passed, the air froze and was cleaved in two, as if splitting the void in two.

"Frost Sword Manual experience +50."

"Frosty Sword Intent: Mastery (12% → 13%)"

Seeing the words flash before her, Li Yunqing sheathed her sword, turned to Lu Xingzhou, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Lu."

Lu Xingzhou paused slightly, feeling Li Yunqing's calm gaze. He felt as if he had done something wrong and subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look directly at her.

"Hmm, I'll teach you Sword Four and Sword Five tomorrow."

Lu Xingzhou gave a weak response and, before Li Yunqing could speak, he quickly turned around and fled as if escaping.

"Is it possible that Senior Brother Lu could teach it all at once?"

"You don't need to come every day!"

Watching Lu Xingzhou disappear into the distance in the blink of an eye, Li Yunqing swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Although she is not arrogant, she has now shown her talent, and anyone should understand that this sword technique can be taught in one go.

But Lu Xingzhou seemed not to understand, and remained steadfast in his commitment to teaching him two moves every day.

"Alright, there are only six moves left, enough time."

Li Yunqing stopped thinking about it, called Xiao Lan, and walked out of the martial arts school. Just as she was about to get into the carriage, a voice suddenly rang out from not far away.

"Miss, I've heard of your superb medical skills. May I ask if you could treat my young master?"

Li Yunqing turned her head and saw an old man standing not far from the carriage.

Upon seeing Li Yunqing turn around, he bowed slightly and pointed to a small courtyard next to the Mingyu Martial Arts Hall.

The courtyard gate was already open, and a handsome but somewhat eerie-looking man was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at her with a pale and extremely weak face.

"His appearance is so handsome it's almost inhuman!"

Upon seeing the man's appearance, Li Yunqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This appearance is even more handsome and otherworldly than the beauties I saw in my previous life after they were enhanced.

She glanced at the sky, but instead of heading there, she said, "It's getting late today. We can take him to the martial arts school for treatment tomorrow."

With that, Li Yunqing boarded the carriage and, surrounded by guards, drove off in a grand procession.

It was getting late, and she didn't want to have too much contact with anyone.

Not long after Li Yunqing left, the handsome, somewhat eerie man suddenly stood up and stared straight into the distance.

"A pure Yin body...it's actually a pure Yin body!"

"Moreover, the primordial yin is still present!"

The man murmured, a flicker of fire seemingly flashing in his eyes.

As a demon, his innate desires made him clearly sense Li Yunqing's constitution.

He never expected that the woman he had his eye on actually possessed an extremely rare pure Yin constitution.

"Young master, you mustn't act rashly!"

Seemingly sensing his young master's unusual behavior, the old man quickly spoke up to dissuade him: "This is a human place. Everything must wait until the Demon King recovers from his injuries."

These words caused the strange-looking man's eyes to darken: "I know! Keep an eye on her!"

A pure Yin body is like Mother Earth, capable of nourishing all things. Once engaged in dual cultivation, it can further purify his bloodline and rapidly enhance his strength.

It is even highly likely that the might of the ancient ferocious beast Jiuying will be reproduced.

Among the human race, perhaps only those from reclusive sects are capable of seeing this.

However, because the girl possessed a perfect face that was already attractive, it wouldn't easily lead people to think of her as having a pure yin body.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry.

Inside the carriage, Li Yunqing listened to the discussions on the street, her brows furrowing slightly as she looked at Xiao Lan beside her.

"What are these people talking about?"

Xiao Lan listened intently for a long time after hearing this, and then spoke with a somewhat strange expression.

"Miss, it's Lord Jiang Jing!"

"He went to the Jiang family's gate this afternoon, demanding Miss's marriage certificate!"

"I heard the future son-in-law's legs were both broken!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunqing could no longer hold back, and her lips twitched.

"Is this something a human being... is capable of doing?"
