I manage female characters in all the heavens.

With just this simple action, a sharp, tearing sound, like ripping silk, suddenly rang out inside the carriage.

The force of the energy grazed Jiang Yuyan's hair, silently cutting a crack in the car wall beside her, letting in a sliver of sunlight and a gentle breeze.

"When the Mingyu Skill is practiced to a high level, one's muscles, bones, skin, and flesh become like cold jade, impervious to swords and spears. The refined true energy possesses the terrifying property of freezing everything; if an ordinary martial artist comes into contact with even a trace of it, the cold energy will invade their meridians, freezing their internal organs, making it truly..."

Tie Xinlan waved her hand and said calmly, "Killing someone is not about being tangible."

Mingyu Gong doesn't care about killing silently; he wants to kill in a visible way, making as much noise as possible, and creating a scene that will startle people.

Despite its seemingly aloof and detached nature, the Mingyu Kung Fu is actually extremely domineering at its core, without a trace of gentleness. If a fight doesn't cause the heavens and earth to change color, it would be a disservice to the emotions suppressed for decades.

The seemingly domineering "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" is actually a martial arts Zen style. After mastery, it remains unassuming, containing Buddhist and Zen wisdom, with its unparalleled power hidden beneath its ordinariness.

This divine skill, seemingly just a simple internal energy cultivation technique, actually encompasses all aspects of Qi cultivation, body refinement, spirit refinement, and protective methods. If one truly masters this divine skill to its peak, one will become invincible and will not need any other martial arts techniques to supplement it.

The power of Mingyu True Qi itself is exceptionally great. Simply unleashing its power is already terrifying. This is completely different from the situation in Tianlong where Xuzhu, who had True Qi but lacked suitable martial arts, could not unleash its power.

Combined with the powerful characteristics that each key level of the Mingyu Gong brings, if one can truly master it to its peak, one can absolutely be invincible with just this one martial art.

However, such a powerful skill is extremely difficult to master. Since its founding, only one or two people in the Yihua Palace have been able to achieve this.

At the same time, the cultivation method of Mingyu Gong is also extremely dangerous. If one is not careful and fails in the struggle against divinity, one will be frozen into an ice sculpture and lose all vitality.

Jiang Yuyan felt no fear whatsoever. Instead, it was as if she had seen a door, a door leading to "superior people," slowly opening before her.

She took a deep breath and then made up her mind: "Lord Yingri, please teach me. I want to become as strong as you."

"It's the kind of strength that allows you to control your own destiny and never let others dominate you again."

Her voice contained no sobs, no pleas, only a burning determination.

I don't want to do whatever I want, but rather I want to have the ability to refuse when I don't want to do something.

Tie Xinlan gazed at her silently, and after a long while, nodded slightly.

"It's good that you have this ambition; it will allow you to go further on the path of martial arts. However, the path of martial arts training is long and arduous; it's not as simple as waking up one day to become invincible."

Waking up after a good night's sleep, I find myself invincible under the guidance of some unparalleled master—that's my specialty.

You are not me, you have no cheat codes, just practice your skills honestly step by step.

Jiang Yuyan nodded: "I can endure hardship."

Her voice was calm, yet it possessed an undeniable power.

Tie Xinlan declined to comment on this, but as the saying goes, if you can endure hardship, you will endure endless hardship.

"Alright, eat that old ginseng first. I'll help you refine its medicinal power and also help you familiarize yourself with the complete circulation path of the Mingyu Gong."

Jiang Yuyan took out a box from her sleeve, inside which was an old ginseng that looked extremely old.

This was something that had suddenly fallen out of a collapsed room when she was being led away from the burning Peony Pavilion by Lord Yingri. It landed directly in her hands, and she instinctively hugged it.

I opened it and found it was a good product, so I accepted it.

At that time, Tie Xinlan was jealous, wondering why she never had such a lucky break.

She added, "You have already made a preliminary understanding of cultivation, and now with the help of this great medicine, you will surely be able to make further progress."

Jiang Yuyan picked up the old ginseng and put it into her mouth without hesitation, nibbling away at it bite by bite. The bitterness spread in her mouth, but it couldn't stop her desire to become stronger.

She immediately closed her eyes and circulated her inner energy. The true energy of "Tie Xinlan" surged forth and gently flowed into her body, helping her to refine the medicinal power.

Half an hour later.

When Jiang Yuyan opened her eyes again, they seemed to have a brighter look than before.

How are you feeling?

"I feel...warm all over, and the true energy in my dantian seems to have grown much stronger and is more obedient," Jiang Yuyan said truthfully.

"good."

"Tie Xinlan" nodded in satisfaction. "Next, I'll let you experience what true divine skill is."

She reached out again and placed her hand on Jiang Yuyan's head.

A warm yet refreshing stream of powerful true energy flowed from her palm into Jiang Yuyan's meridians, guiding the true energy within her body.

"Remember this route. This is the complete operating path of the first level of Mingyu Gong. I will only take you through it thirty times. How many you can remember depends on your own ability."

She's not a nanny, after all. I have the time and inclination to help her now, but if she can't remember it even after thirty repetitions, then she's hopeless and should practice the technique on her own later.

Jiang Yuyan dared not be negligent. She concentrated her mind and immersed herself entirely in her own body, feeling how the powerful external true energy guided her own weak true energy through familiar or unfamiliar acupoints, meridians, and hidden meridians to complete an extremely complex cycle.

After a 30-day cycle, "Tie Xinlan" withdrew her hand.

Jiang Yuyan opened her eyes and exhaled a long breath of stale air. The stale air condensed in the air and turned into a wisp of white mist, carrying a trace of coldness. She had directly entered the first stage of cultivation.

"It seems you do have some talent." He remembered it all perfectly; he's a genius. No wonder he became the final boss.

Tie Xinlan smiled gently, a hint of satisfaction in her voice.

"Alright, close your eyes. I'll take this opportunity to address other issues with your body."

Jiang Yuyan closed her eyes as instructed, and then heard "Tie Xinlan's" voice again: "It might hurt a little, bear with it."

As soon as she finished speaking, a vast and boundless stream of true energy surged into her limbs and bones like a tidal wave!

Those hidden ailments and injuries left from the hardships of life, and those bruises in the meridians that had not fully healed after being injured in the Wang family's basement, all vanished rapidly under the cleansing power of Mingyu's true energy, like ice and snow melting away.

But along with it comes excruciating pain and intense itching, like having your bones scraped!

Jiang Yuyan gritted her teeth, cold sweat beading on her forehead, but she didn't utter a single cry of pain.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, "Tie Xinlan" withdrew her hand and exhaled a long puff of white mist.

"Alright, the hidden injuries and hidden dangers in your body have been basically dealt with, and your physique has greatly improved. When we get to Yunhai City, even if you can't fight, at least you won't be out of breath after running a few steps."

There was a hint of satisfaction in his voice.

Jiang Yuyan opened her eyes and felt much lighter. Even her breathing was much smoother. The scars covering her face didn't seem as tight as before, and even looked a little better than before.

She touched the scar on her face and fell silent.

"Do you remember what I told you before?"

"Tie Xinlan" suddenly spoke.

"If you cultivate the Mingyu Skill to a high level and achieve the Mingyu Body, it will not only heal the burns on your face, but also make you have fair skin and jade bones. Nourished by the essence of heaven and earth, you will be close to the 'immaculate body' described by Taoists, and your beauty will be far greater than before."

She reached out and touched her smooth, jade-like face, then leaned closer to let Jiang Yuyan touch it.

Jiang Yuyan obediently reached out her hand, and upon touching it, she was amazed by its smoothness, delicacy, warmth, and softness.

A blush rose to her face, and a heat spread from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, making her feel hot all over and her skin flushed.

Tie Xinlan was stunned. What the heck? Why are you so excited?

She coughed twice, interrupting the romantic atmosphere, and continued, "So, in order to become a great beauty in the future, you must practice your skills diligently."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuyan's eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

She clenched her fists tightly and whispered, "I... understand, thank you, Lord Yingri."

She paused, then said seriously, "Until my appearance is restored, I want to wear a mask and not show my true face. So as not to... embarrass you."

Tie Xinlan didn't try to persuade her further, but simply said, "Whatever you say."

She didn't care whether she lost face or not, but Jiang Yuyan herself probably couldn't accept showing her disfigured face to the world. So she wore it.

The carriage rumbled northward, heading straight for Yunhai City, a thousand miles away.

Two days later, outside Yunhai City.

Tie Xinlan lifted the carriage curtain, gazing at the ancient city bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, a cold smile curving her lips.

“Master Wang… Lord Yingri is here to settle accounts with you.”

She spoke softly, her voice carrying a chilling calmness and anticipation:

"I hope your wailing will please me."

Tie Xinlan lowered the carriage curtain and said in a calm tone, "Here, my martial arts were crippled, my tendons were severed, and I was locked up like a dog, waiting to be sold to a brothel."

She spoke casually, as if she were telling someone else's story.

But Jiang Yuyan could tell what undercurrents were hidden beneath that calm surface.

Tie Xinlan reached out and gently brushed her hand across the smooth, icy mask on Jiang Yuyan's face.

"Your injuries were also inflicted here," she said softly. "Although the Wang family didn't inflict them, they should still be held accountable."

"A reckoning is necessary."

Jiang Yuyan grasped her hand, feeling its cool touch, and nodded vigorously.

"We absolutely must settle accounts, and settle them thoroughly!"

The carriage drove into the city gate.

Yunhai City remained as bustling and prosperous as ever, with merchants gathering and pedestrians thronging the streets.

No one noticed that an inconspicuous carriage was slowly making its way through the streets and alleys toward a large, secluded mansion covering more than ten acres in the east of the city.

The Wang family mansion was known to everyone in Yunhai City.

Spanning more than ten acres, with vermilion gates and high walls, pavilions and towers layered upon each other, it is even more magnificent than the government office of the prefecture.

Within the high walls, there are hundreds of trained martial arts guards who are employed year-round, and renowned masters hired from the martial arts world at great expense are also stationed there, making their combat power even greater than that of some small and medium-sized sects in the martial arts world.

Within hundreds of miles of Yunhai City, the Wang family was practically local tyrants, and even the city lord had to give them some respect.

At this moment, in front of the vermilion gate, two servants were leaning against the door frame, lazily basking in the sun.

Then they saw a carriage stop in front of the mansion gate.

A girl in a yellow and white dress jumped off the car.

A beauty of unparalleled grace.

These were the only words that came to mind when the two servants saw the girl's face clearly; they were completely stunned.

Although she still has the body and appearance of Tie Xinlan, compared to when Yue Lingshan took her in, the current "Tie Xinlan" possesses a vast amount of internal energy. Her Mingyu Gong has advanced to the late stage of the seventh level, and her body has undergone a tremendous transformation, making her more beautiful in every way than before.

Moreover, that kind of peerless elegance and noble air that looks down on all living beings is something Yue Lingshan could not possess.

Then they saw the girl walk toward the gate.
