“Mother, there is no such thing as perfection in this world. I am willing to cultivate the path of immortal martial arts.”
Qi Lingyun's voice was firm and resolute, "Please grant my request, Mother."
Besides her curiosity about the path of immortal martial arts, Qi Lingyun also had her own ideas.
If she stayed in Emei, she would inevitably be troubled by the karma from before—she and Bai Xia Sun Nan had an unresolved love affair in this life.
She was extremely resistant to this kind of thing.
She has no desire to become a Daoist partner with someone because of karma!
If that Daoist is truly as my father said, how could mere karma trouble her?
"Very well, if you want to do it, then do it." Xun Lanyin sighed and nodded gently.
As a mother, how could she not know her daughter's little thoughts?
The thought of my daughter's uncertain future inevitably brings me sorrow.
"Lingyun, since you agree, then these scriptures and pills are yours." Master Miaoyi passed down the scriptures and handed over the pills, explaining their usage. "As for the subsequent scriptures, Li Yingqiong will need to accumulate points to redeem them. After you finish your cultivation, go down the mountain to search for unclaimed treasures, and then go to the capital to find Yingqiong."
"Yes."
Qi Lingyun was in high spirits. She bid farewell to her parents and went to her cave to cultivate.
Her cultivation was inferior to her father's, and upon seeing the path of immortals and martial arts, she was captivated and deeply moved.
After taking the elixir, the sensation of tendon and marrow cleansing became even stronger.
After digesting one Marrow Cleansing Pill, she felt a tremendous change in her body's bones and muscles, as if she had become an immortal.
"These pills and cultivation techniques were obtained in exchange for just one Emei Qi Refining Technique. That's too cheap."
"No, it should be that the Daoist Master imparts his teachings, taking only the smallest amount, and doesn't actually ask people to pay money to buy the scriptures. Money is just to settle karma; what's truly important is fate."
They were amazed at how quickly Qi Lingyun's cultivation had progressed.
Her cultivation only stopped increasing when she reached the peak of the True Qi Realm.
In fact, if she hadn't lacked subsequent cultivation techniques, her cultivation level could have improved even further.
"So strong!"
The powerful beings in this world possess destructive abilities entirely through supernatural powers and magical artifacts.
Once the magic weapon is lost, defeat will be imminent.
The path of immortal martial arts unlocks the potential of the physical body and true qi, making even a casual strike an unparalleled technique, without the need for magic weapons or supernatural powers.
Qi Lingyun had cultivated for many years, and only now did she truly experience the feeling of boundless magical power.
She took to the air, arrived in the wilderness, raised her hand and struck out; instantly, a distant mountain vanished forever between heaven and earth.
Qi Lingyun was stunned when she saw this.
This terrifying scene was something she could never have imagined before.
If a cultivator from this world didn't possess an ancient treasure, they absolutely could not have caused such destruction.
After a long while, Qi Lingyun came to her senses, rode her flying sword back to Emei to bid farewell to her parents.
Having witnessed the power of martial arts, she didn't want to be idle for a moment and wanted to accumulate points as soon as possible to exchange for subsequent cultivation methods.

A sword light slashed through the sky, then suddenly stopped and landed in the mountains and forests.
"My mother once said that she saw a red Ganoderma lucidum here a hundred years ago and set up a protective barrier. I don't know if it's still there."
Qi Lingyun scanned the area with her divine sense and quickly discovered a small restriction.
Approaching the spot, he cast a spell, and instantly, a crimson Ganoderma lucidum appeared on the seemingly empty ground before him.
Red Ganoderma, as its name suggests, is bright red like fire, with flames flowing inside, making it a rare and precious natural treasure.
Qi Lingyun looked delighted and stepped forward, carefully picking the red Ganoderma lucidum and putting it into her treasure pouch.
After doing all this, he cast a spell to nourish the medicinal root with spiritual energy, restoring the restriction once again, hoping that the Emei successor would come here to harvest it hundreds of years later.
A moment later, a sword light flew up again.
For half a month, Qi Lingyun traveled among famous mountains and rivers, picking dozens of spiritual herbs and obtaining nine flying swords of average quality.
The nine flying swords were left behind by an unknown rogue cultivator, and there is no karmic connection between them. Although their quality is average, they can be used with confidence.
These were all rewards found by the ancestors of Emei and left specifically for future generations to experience; now they all belong to Qi Lingyun.
Master Miaoyi and Xun Lanyin both handed these locations over to their daughter. Although Emei didn't openly provide much support, Qi Lingyun actually had enough resources to establish her own sect.
It can be said that Miao Yi and her husband did not harm Emei in any way, but gave their daughter a huge amount of start-up capital.
"It's time to go to the capital!"
Having reaped a great harvest, Qi Lingyun was eager to get started. She mounted her flying sword and headed straight for the capital.
Midway through, the sword light suddenly paused.
Qi Lingyun lowered her sword light in a secluded spot, reverted to her ordinary attire, and strolled through the town.
The fields were filled with the fragrance of rice, and the plump grains of rice bent the stalks, a picture of a bountiful harvest.
Many farmers were harvesting in the fields, singing joyful songs.
Qi Lingyun has been cultivating for decades and has descended the mountain more than once.
Even when the Ming Dynasty was still in existence, she had never seen such a sight.
The Manchu conquest of China was even more impossible.
In the past, the people were emaciated and looked like rotten wood, devoid of any vitality. Although they were alive, they were like puppets.
Now, these people are finally living, breathing human beings, with their own joys and sorrows.
She was also infected by this sentiment, and instead of riding her flying sword, she walked on the official road, witnessing the prosperity of the new era.
As they traveled slowly, Qi Lingyun witnessed the prosperity of this dynasty and gained a greater appreciation for Li Yingqiong, whom he had never met before.
“Sister Li, though she has not entered the path of immortality, has done things that surpass those of sword immortals.”
A lone swordsman can slay demons and subdue monsters, but how many people can he save?
Li Yingqiong alone has saved hundreds of millions of lives; how is her compassion different from that of immortals and Buddhas?
After months of trekking, Qi Lingyun felt her mind was clear and her primordial spirit was becoming stronger. As before, she could have taken another step forward.
But she had no time for such thoughts; all she could think about was the capital city right before her.
After a long journey, Qi Lingyun has arrived in the capital.
Upon entering the capital, Qi Lingyun was even more struck by the city's prosperity. After finding a place to wash up, Qi Lingyun mounted her sword and headed straight for the palace.
Li Yingqiong was easy to find; Qi Lingyun located her with a sweep of his divine sense.
At this moment, Li Yingqiong was handling political affairs when, as if sensing something, she looked up and saw the sword light disappear, revealing Qi Lingyun's figure.
"Who are you?"
"Qi Lingyun of Emei greets the current ruler."
Li Yingqiong quickly got up and went forward to meet Qi Lingyun.
Thanks to Master Miaoyi's reminder, she didn't bow abruptly this time.
After all, most people couldn't possibly accept a bow from her.
Her visit to the shrine, though well-intentioned, could very well bring bad luck to the recipient.
This is a case of good intentions gone wrong.
"What brings you here, sister?" Li Yingqiong asked. "Do you intend for me to leave and go on a cultivation journey?"
"Not entirely." Qi Lingyun quickly recounted what Master Miaoyi had instructed her to do, instructing her to establish a lineage of Daoist practitioners.
Li Yingqiong was shocked: "Found the Immortal Martial Sect?"
"Yes." Qi Lingyun nodded. "This path can lead to the Primordial Chaos realm, and they are very optimistic about it. However, since they already have their own sect, it is not easy for them to change their cultivation methods. So they had to find another way and let us do it. Although I am an Emei disciple, I am not very important. If I open up another path, it will not incur the ancestral master's punishment. It is just right."
"I see!" Li Yingqiong nodded gently. "Of course. I'll talk to Brother Taixuan about it, and there should be some benefits. But can we really give up on this mortal dynasty?"
Qi Lingyun sighed, "Human affairs should be handled by the human race itself. No matter how much energy you have, how long can you manage it? Sister Li, hesitation will only lead to more trouble."
0 ·······Requesting flowers··· ········
"Alright." Li Yingqiong pondered for a while and realized that this made sense. In addition, since nothing new or interesting happened afterward, there was no merit to be gained.
Now is the time to withdraw.
Over the next few days, Li Yingqiong clearly explained her responsibilities and completely relinquished her power.
"My lord, are you leaving?"
"Hmm." Li Yingqiong nodded, looking at her subordinates who were older than her. "I'm going to cultivate. If you can put aside your affairs in the future, you can also come and cultivate with me. We will reform the world and create a new world. I naturally cannot enjoy this blessing alone."
"Thank you, Lord."
Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted, and some even wanted to leave on the spot.
