The Immortal Empress, Unrivaled Through Eternity

The next evening.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

Inside the medicine furnace, the thick medicinal liquid churned and bubbled, filling the air with its aroma.

Li Yunqing, dressed in a purple dress, stood quietly in front of the medicine furnace, holding a wooden ladle and gently stirring the medicinal liquid.

Gazes came from all directions, occasionally lingering on her.

The battle with the demons was not as fierce as it had been at the beginning, and the entire wounded soldiers' camp gradually relaxed.

Many of the wounded were either whispering or huddled together, discussing and laughing.

Some of the more daring wounded soldiers even talked loudly, seemingly trying to entice Li Yunqing to turn around.

But no matter what the wounded said, it didn't affect Li Yunqing in the slightest.

"Medicine King's Scripture Experience +45."

"The Medicine King Sutra (Dacheng 399/10000)"

Li Yunqing, who was immersed in cultivation, twitched her brows slightly and felt a familiar tingling sensation rising from her internal organs.

Her body tensed instantly, she gritted her teeth slightly, and her face gradually flushed.

Even the wooden ladle used to stir the medicine stopped, and her legs felt weak.

After a while, Li Yunqing finally breathed a slight sigh of relief and raised her hand to brush away the fine sweat that had stuck to her hair.

"First Realm High Grade (82% → 88%)"

"It will be perfect tomorrow."

A smile spread across Li Yunqing's face as she looked at the words flashing before her.

Once perfected, one can break through to the Qi Realm.

Only then can one truly establish oneself.

Only then can you have the confidence to say "no" to everything you don't want to do.

She placed the increasingly viscous medicinal liquid onto the pill mold, and with a wave of her hand, she drew upon the essence of herbs and plants, which seeped into the medicinal liquid.

Once cooled, roll it in some dry powder, and it becomes pills.

Having done all that, before I could even turn around, a flurry of footsteps suddenly arose, rapidly approaching.

"Little doctor, quickly take a look at the sixth... young master."

The person who arrived called out softly, his tone quite urgent.

"Sixth Young Master?"

Li Yunqing turned around and immediately recognized the blood-covered man as the same person who had been suspected to be the Sixth Prince yesterday.

At this moment, however, a laceration from a sharp weapon ripped through the man's chest and back.

But the man seemed oblivious, a smile on his face, as if he were completely unaware of the pain.

"Was this caused by a sharp weapon?"

Looking at the wound torn open by a sharp weapon, Li Yunqing was somewhat surprised.

Those demons don't all rely on teeth or claws to hurt people, but the man in front of me had a wound pierced by a sharp blade.

"I killed a guy who called himself the Northern Mountain Sword Saint, and this wound was inflicted by him."

Yu Xuanfeng spoke, his voice weak, but his expression remained gentle. He only frowned slightly when his wounds were touched.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Looking at Li Yunqing's appearance, Yu Xuanfeng chuckled: "Don't be afraid, just treat my wounds, you won't die."

The girl in front of me was gentle and quiet, with the demeanor of a well-bred young lady. If it weren't for my medical skills, I probably would never have seen such a scene before.

"The Sword Saint?"

Li Yunqing whispered in confusion as she approached Yu Xuanfeng to examine his wounds. With a gentle flick of her fingers, silver needles began to dart across Yu Xuanfeng's chest.

If someone dares to call themselves the Sword Saint, then their strength is probably not to be underestimated.

"Heh... It's just some demons who've learned a little bit about humans calling themselves that."

Yu Xuanfeng chuckled: "Compared to the Sword Saint, you're not even worthy of carrying his shoes."

As the silver needles were inserted, his brows relaxed completely, and he looked at Li Yunqing with surprise, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

This acupuncture technique is probably even more powerful than the Ghost Needle; he could no longer feel any pain.

Even the sounds of the girl cleaning and stitching the wound did not cause any discomfort.

"So it was a demon."

Li Yunqing responded softly, somewhat understanding.

The image of the two minor demons that the Sword Saint had casually killed last time naturally came to mind.

Clearly, this demon will take human form and enter human cities to learn some human skills.

"What? You haven't heard of it?"

This time, after risking his life, he finally felt the opportunity to reach the pinnacle of the Qi Realm. Even though he was seriously injured, he was in a good mood.

In addition, the girl in front of him was indeed excessively beautiful, making it impossible for him to dislike her, so he was happy to chat with her for a while.

Especially seeing the girl's ignorant and uninformed appearance, it was quite amusing.

Normally, he wouldn't have time to chat with others.

"Never heard of it."

While stitching up the wound, Li Yunqing whispered, "I've never left Qingzhou City, so I've heard very little about demons and monsters."

The only time was when Jiang Yu invited me to take a stroll around Lanshan outside the city, and I was trapped in the valley for seven days.

The process was not pleasant, nor is it worth remembering.

Yu Xuanfeng was taken aback, but then he understood.

The women in the family were almost all trained to be proper ladies of noble families, with training in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, mostly for the purpose of family marriage alliances.

Even martial arts training takes place at home, with powerful and famous martial artists coming to teach them.

Even princesses of the royal family are no exception.

They rarely go out.

Even when they went out, they traveled by carriage, accompanied by a large number of guards and servants, all fearing that they would lose their reputation or marry the wrong person.

This was true of all the prominent families in the capital.

Only women from the martial arts world and those sects and clans would travel around freely and be unconcerned with trivial matters.

"The outside world is vast, full of strange and wonderful things!"

Yu Xuanfeng responded, "There are many more demons among them. The so-called Sword Saint is nothing more than a white ape who can wield a sword."

Li Yunqing nodded slightly, almost certain in her heart that the man in front of her was the Sixth Prince.

Ordinary men probably don't have such refinement and elegance.

In addition, the royal family is the largest family in the Great Yu Dynasty, and every time they hold a selection of women, they are all women of exceptional beauty. Including those great families in the capital, there should be no shortage of beauties.

Only someone who has seen and even possessed many beautiful women can calmly and respectfully chat with her without being servile or lewd.

Throughout, his gaze remained extremely calm, filled only with appreciation.

They didn't even ask her name.

Clearly, even knowing a man's true nature, those who can hide it so well are no ordinary people.

Within the royal family, people do not hide their true nature, thoughts, or purposes; those who are rather foolish probably do not hold a high position.

They would also be unlikely to be entrusted with an important task and come to support Qingzhou.

"Alright, you can go back and rest now!"

After treating the wound, Li Yunqing spoke calmly, her tone as gentle as ever, revealing her feminine softness.

She even subconsciously picked up the pill, intending to place it in the man's hand, but hesitated for a moment and then took it back.

"Since you have already taken the Thousand-Year Cloud Ganoderma Pill, I will not give you any more pills."

These elixirs should be reserved for those who need them more.

The person in front of me is the Sixth Prince, who probably wouldn't take any pills given to him by others; it would be a waste to give them to him.

Yu Xuanfeng was about to reach out and take it when he saw Li Yunqing's action, but when he heard these words, the smile on his face almost froze.

"good!"

Yu Xuanfeng suppressed his discomfort, silently closed his hands, and nodded with a smile, but his doubts only deepened.

He had been taking the Millennium Cloud Ganoderma Pill for a long time, so how did the girl in front of him know about it?

Could it be that just by treating a wound, they can tell he's taken a better elixir?

If that's the case, then the young girl's medical skills must be extremely amazing.

At least among the doctors he had ever met, none had been able to do this; instead, they relied on questioning and inference.

It is extremely rare to be so certain.

Thinking back to yesterday, he realized that this was probably why the girl in front of him only gave him one pill.

However, he really doesn't need it.

Even the pill from yesterday has not been taken.

As a prince, one can never be too cautious about anything related to medicine.

Even if he didn't know the female doctor at all, he didn't believe that this gentle and kind female doctor would kill him for no reason.

But this was a prince's instinct, learned through bloodshed.

The careless princes have long since become useless, completely losing their eligibility to compete for that position.

"A woman with such medical skills is indeed somewhat useful."

"And she's so beautiful..."

Carried out of the wounded soldiers' camp by guards, Yu Xuanfeng pondered for a long time before suddenly speaking to the guard beside him.

"Go and look up this female doctor."

"Make sure to be as detailed as possible."
