Chapter 94: Comprehending Immortal Martial Arts Once More
“Yuan Qing Spirit Refinent Technique (Not Initiated 0/100)”
“As expected of Venerable Yuan Qing—a technique created by a Spirit Transformation expert!”
Looking at the text flashing before her, Li Yunqing could not help but sigh inwardly.
The Mingyu Divine Art only required 30 experience points to reach Initiated, and even the dicine King Scripture required just 50.
But this Yuan Qing Spirit Refinent Technique actually required a full 100 experience points.
“The Yuan Qing Spirit Refinent Technique was created by observing the Dao of artifact refinent and alchemy.”
At that mont, Yuan Qing spoke gently, “Nine revolutions refine the spirit, tempered a thousand tis, forging the soul to be extrely resilient and pure. This is also the reason I have survived until now.”
“Without a physical body, the consumption of the soul is imnse. Even within the forbidden zone, under sealing, it is still constantly consud.”
Yuan Qing leaned entirely against Li Yunqing. Her gauze-like clothing was also ford from the power of her Yang Spirit.
At this mont, perhaps nourished by the aura of the Pure Yin Body, her originally snow-white skin had taken on a faint rosy glow.
“Don’t look at mine—you have your own!”
Sensing Li Yunqing’s gaze on her skin, Yuan Qing spoke in a light tone, “Yours is even whiter, softer, and more fragrant than mine.”
Li Yunqing: “……”
“Elder Sister, your Yang Spirit body seems more lively now, and your personality has changed a bit too.”
When they first t, Yuan Qing had been reserved and courteous, every movent like that of an immortal.
But now, she was no different from an ordinary young woman.
“Well, you know—won outside must maintain dignity and composure, always putting on airs. My nature was never like that.”
“And besides… unless sothing unexpected happens, even if I step into the Divine Realm in the future, I’ll probably only live four hundred years!”
“So I’ve decided to live however I feel most comfortable.”
“To hell with feminine decorum—I’ll do whatever I want now!”
Yuan Qing’s tone carried a trace of resentnt, clearly dissatisfied with the rules imposed on won.
“And besides, no one can see right now except you—why should I still act proper?”
As she spoke, she pressed herself even closer against Li Yunqing, as if trying to rge into her body.
The soft fullness of her chest flattened against Li Yunqing without the slightest concern.
“…Alright. Do as you like—I’ll try cultivating this Spirit Refinent Technique first.”
Li Yunqing was at a loss for words. She closed her eyes and began cultivating the Yuan Qing Spirit Refinent Technique.
The technique simulated the Dao of alchemy and artifact refinent—alchemy required nine revolutions, while artifacts required a hundred temperings.
She understood alchemy well; the dicine King Scripture explained it in even greater detail.
Though she did not fully understand artifact refinent, with Yuan Qing’s explanations, she grasped much of it.
“The body as a furnace, refining the soul.”
Li Yunqing circulated the technique, visualizing herself as a furnace, refining dicine and forging artifacts.
In an instant, she felt faint impurities drifting away from her Yin Spirit.
At that mont, she suddenly recalled the scene of Yuan Qing devouring the Evil God.
That had also been an application of the Yuan Qing Spirit Refinent Technique.
“So that’s how it is!”
Li Yunqing suddenly understood as lines of text continuously flashed before her.
“Yuan Qing Spirit Refinent Technique Experience 1.”
“Yuan Qing Spirit Refinent Technique Experience 1.”
With her exceptional comprehension and ntal clarity, even being held by Yuan Qing did not affect her in the slightest.
The night quickly passed.
At dawn, after a full night of cultivation, a line of text appeared before Li Yunqing.
“Yuan Qing Spirit Refinent Technique Experience 1.”
“Yuan Qing Spirit Refinent Technique (Initiated 0/1000)”
“Yin Spirit: Mastery (13% → 15%)”
At the mont the text appeared, Li Yunqing felt her Yin Spirit beco light and ethereal, almost ascending.
Yet at the sa ti, it was extrely condensed, almost as if it possessed a physical body.
It was as though it had undergone an indescribable transformation.
Even the clothing surrounding her Yin Spirit appeared extrely detailed and real.
With a thought, her Yin Spirit leaped out, passing directly through the carriage roof and entering the sky.
Yuan Qing, who was pressed close to her, seed to sense sothing. Looking at Li Yunqing’s Yin Spirit, her eyes shone with astonishnt.
“You reached Initiated in a single night?”
Thinking of her forr disciples—who had also possessed outstanding talent—they had still needed half a month to reach Initiated.
Compared to Li Yunqing, they were like heaven and earth apart.
“My little sister might truly break the shackles of the Divine Realm!”
“So if I stay close to her and maintain a good relationship, I might live a few hundred years longer?”
“Who wouldn’t like such a beautiful little sister?”
Yuan Qing was delighted and leaped into the air, following Li Yunqing’s Yin Spirit into the sky.
She then saw purple qi flickering around Li Yunqing—that was Purple Solar Qi.
“As expected of a Pure Yin Body—even at Mastery of the Yin Spirit, she can already absorb Purple Solar Qi.”
Yuan Qing was even more shocked.
In the Age of Immortals and Gods, only after the Yin Spirit reached perfection could one absorb the power of heaven and earth, undergo refinent by natural laws, and transform toward a Yang Spirit.
Talent and physique were sotis simply unreasonable.
They could save decades of foundational cultivation—this was also the fundantal reason she sought a better physical body.
Without talent, even with determination, one would need to endure countless years of tempering.
With talent, it was equivalent to gaining hundreds or even thousands of extra years—any fool would know what to choose.
After the ti it took to drink a cup of tea, Li Yunqing felt her Yin Spirit beco warm and smooth, flowing with purple radiance.
Even the damage caused by the rising sun weakened significantly.
“Yin Spirit: Mastery (15% → 16%)”
“With the Spirit Refinent Technique, my Yin Spirit cultivation will beco much faster.”
Perhaps it would not be long before her Yin Spirit could leave the body under the blazing sun.
Or even be refined into a Yang Spirit.
“Elder Sister?”
Seeing Yuan Qing lost in thought, Li Yunqing’s Yin Spirit drifted closer in an instant.
“My little sister is truly beautiful!”
Seeing the gauze-like purple dress draped over her form, revealing her figure completely, Yuan Qing blinked.
Compared to the conservative, loose purple dress on her physical body, Li Yunqing’s Yin Spirit form was far more alluring.
Because the Yin Spirit’s power was not yet strong, the clothing it manifested could not fully wrap the body like real garnts.
Instead, it resembled a thin veil—giving the impression that it could be pulled away at any mont.
Yuan Qing felt that if she were a man, she would not be able to resist such a woman.
Even now, she found herself liking her little sister even more.
Beauty made life much smoother.
In the Age of Immortals and Gods, there were many cases where won of extraordinary beauty but poor talent were forcibly elevated to the Nascent Soul Realm through resources.
The cost of such efforts could have allowed a talented individual to reach the Spirit Transformation Realm—or even immortality.
“Are you really only fifteen?”
“With a figure like this… your nutrition must have been excellent, right?”
Yuan Qing poked Li Yunqing’s chest with her finger—it was simply too well-developed, full and firm.
Feeling the contact of the Yin Spirit, the tingling sensation in her chest made Li Yunqing instinctively retreat, her face flushing slightly.
This kind of soul-level contact was ten or even a hundred tis more sensitive than physical touch.
“Hahaha…”
Seeing her reaction, Yuan Qing laughed without restraint.
Contact between souls reached deep into the essence—that was why immortals sought Dao companions, far surpassing physical desire by tenfold or a hundredfold.
If it had been a man’s Yin Spirit making contact, it would have been even more intense. For soone like Li Yunqing, experiencing it for the first ti, a single touch might have left her completely powerless.
“Elder Sister, we’re moving on!”
Li Yunqing’s Yin Spirit flashed and returned to her physical body in the carriage, letting out a breath. “From now on, my Yin Spirit must never co into contact with others—especially n.”
Thinking of the sensation just now, it felt as though sothing had touched her heart, stirring within it.
Her entire body had felt like currents of electricity flowing through it, making it impossible to control herself.
At that mont, she finally understood why even those pursuing immortality sought Dao companions—the feeling of soul fusion must be even more irresistible.
As the group finished packing, the carriage set off eastward under the rising sun.
North of the Evil God Forbidden Land lay the territories of the Demon Race and the Human Race, opposed from east to west.
Qingzhou and Cangzhou, along with the Great Azure Mountain, were all located in the western region of the Human Race, near the Demon Race.
The capital, however, lay in the center of the Human Race’s domain. At a pace of five hundred li per day, it would likely take twenty days to reach it.
Traveling along official roads in broad daylight, the journey was relatively peaceful.
From ti to ti, Demon Suppression Guards from the Demon Suppression Division could be seen riding swiftly past.
Li Yunqing did not idle. While cultivating the Spirit Refinent Technique, she also studied how to utilize the power of the Yin Spirit.
“The Yin Spirit exists between the tangible and intangible, thus it can influence the void and restrain physical bodies.”
“Just as the physical body can use tools—this is instinct.”
“In the Age of Immortals and Gods, one could even rge with the laws of heaven and earth, combining with essence, qi, and magical power to form a Primordial Spirit and unleash divine abilities.”
“Wait… Immortal Martial Power is the fusion of True Qi and magical power.”
“The reason I cannot fully unleash Immortal Martial Power—is it because I cannot utilize the power of the Yin Spirit?”
“What if I use the power of the Yin Spirit to mobilize Immortal Martial Power?”
“And combine it with Intent to mobilize True Qi—wouldn’t that allow to unleash the true power of Immortal Martial Arts?”
At that mont, inspiration surged within Li Yunqing, endless insights arising.
She vaguely sensed that by combining the power of the Yin Spirit with Intent, she could begin to unleash the true might of Immortal Martial Power.
Opening her eyes, she ignored the lightly snoring Yuan Qing and Xiaolan beside her.
Forming a sword finger, she practiced sword techniques within the carriage.
The power of the Yin Spirit and Intent gathered at her fingertips.
At the sa ti, Immortal Martial Power surged from her chest.
At that mont, she had the faint sensation that a single strike could split heaven and earth.
“Though it’s an illusion, it’s precisely because Immortal Martial Power is so powerful that such an illusion arises.”
Li Yunqing understood, her eyes filled with eagerness.
But rembering that they were on an official road with people coming and going, revealing herself too openly would attract too much attention.
So she suppressed the impulse and continued carefully studying the use of Yin Spirit power.
By evening, as the carriage had just exited Qingzhou, a vast forest stretched endlessly ahead, sparsely populated.
It made sense—most of the Human Race lived near major cities, spreading outward from them for safety.
In tis of danger, help could be quickly obtained.
Those living in remote areas, however, were often harassed by demons and Evil Gods.
Over ti, wilderness and forests had beco largely deserted.
“Find a place to rest.”
Li Yunqing glanced at the sky and spoke.
These guards had followed her diligently—she did not wish to treat them harshly.
There was enough ti; she was willing to give them more rest and cultivation ti.
But just as her words fell, a thunderous roar erupted from the nearby barren mountains.
“Boom Boom…”
With the sound ca collapsing rocks and billowing dust, accompanied by the roars of demons.
“Retreat to the official road—everyone, stay away from this mountain!”
Amid the dust, a loud shout rang out.
Imdiately, figures clad in the uniforms of the Demon Suppression Guards rushed toward the road, sabers in hand.
Behind them, the dust surged wildly, as if a massive demon beast was awakening from slumber.
“Fall back!”
The leading Demon Suppression Guard shouted at Li Yunqing’s group.
Clearly, he had not expected to find a carriage still lingering in the wilderness at this hour.
“Everyone retreat—there is an evil creature hidden in this mountain!”
Hearing the shout, the guards all gathered around the carriage, awaiting Li Yunqing’s command.
“Swish!”
Li Yunqing lifted the carriage curtain and stepped out directly. Yuan Qing and Xiaolan stood at her sides.
The leading Demon Suppression Guard paused, clearly not expecting the person inside the carriage to be such a beautiful woman.
She was even more elegant than the city lord’s daughter—like an immortal untouched by the mortal world.
His voice unconsciously softened. “I am Ji Yun, Commandant of the Demon Suppression Guards of Linzhou. Please retreat quickly, miss.”
“An evil creature has been discovered here—one close to the Profound Realm!”
Hearing this, Li Yunqing nodded slightly. “Thank you for the warning, but it’s already too late.”
Her eyes shimred as she clearly saw the massive figure within the dust.
It was a giant stone ape over ten ters tall, breaking free from the mountain rock and advancing toward them.
Its aura was powerful—just as Ji Yun had said, it was close to the Profound Realm.
Or rather, a half-step into the Profound Realm—possessing both the power of an Evil God and the abilities of demons.
“This should be an Evil God that devoured a great demon, slumbered for a long ti, and whose body has nearly petrified. Though it lacks the Montum of Heaven and Earth, it already possesses the power of the Profound Realm.”
Yuan Qing’s voice echoed in Li Yunqing’s mind.
anwhile, the guards—including Xiaolan—turned pale upon hearing Ji Yun’s words.
Even a Commandant of the Demon Suppression Division was retreating—clearly, this evil creature was extrely dangerous.
At the sight of their expressions, Li Yunqing fell silent.
She could escape—but none of her guards had reached the Qi Realm. They would all die here.
That was not sothing she was willing to accept.
No matter what, she had to ensure their survival.
At that mont, Ji Yun approached again and said, “I’ve already sent a signal. As long as we hold for half an hour, the Commander will arrive.”
“Half an hour?”
Li Yunqing frowned.
The evil creature was already approaching. Qi Realm cultivators might escape—but those in the Initial Realm would surely die.
She turned to look at Yuan Qing, who remained calm and still pressed close to her. Beneath her sleeve, her hand tightly gripped the Flying Sword.
“With Yuan Qing here, it shouldn’t be too dangerous.”
“Then I’ll take this opportunity to test what I’ve just comprehended!”
“And buy so ti.”
The mont the thought arose, Li Yunqing’s figure shot upward, rising into the air as she said, “Xiaolan, take the guards and retreat.”
“Clang!”
As her voice fell, the Flying Sword in her hand trembled and transford into a three-foot blade.
Her figure moved as if walking through the void, advancing against the raging wind, her purple dress fluttering, her hair flowing wildly.
The sword in her hand glead with cold light, frost and snow swirling around her—like an immortal descending from the heavens.
Seeing her step through the air like this, Ji Yun’s figure froze, his eyes widening in shock.
“Y-Your young lady… is a Profound Realm Grandmaster?”
