Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 4 The Prodigy of the Yu Family
I know that Steward Li is a highly skilled person.

Unlike martial arts, this is the path of immortal cultivation!

Li Yunjing had previously traveled the world and obtained a Qi cultivation manual, which described this special aura.

That's just the kind of person Chief Steward Li is!
Li Yunjing has only just begun practicing Qi cultivation and knows nothing.

This level of quality is practically like the floor tiles for cultivators.

That is why he showed great respect for such a senior and accomplished person as Steward Li.

After walking a dozen or so meters away from the campsite, they headed towards the grove of trees on the left side of the dirt road.

"When did the young lady leave?"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.

He hadn't seen anyone leave from the first carriage!
"That's right! The young lady is a master! She didn't even notice that Ling'er, a mere maid, came out."

After thinking it over, Li Yunjing felt relieved.

As for whether Steward Li tricked him into going to a deserted place to get rid of himself?
That is impossible!

Why go through all this trouble when they simply didn't want to help you?
Li Yunjing didn't care about these issues at all.

After walking another hundred paces, the two entered the forest.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In the woods, a figure in white was seen dancing with a sword, as graceful and agile as a butterfly flitting among flowers.

However, the ferocity of the sword strike made Li Yunjing's eyes widen in surprise.

Every strike, whether slashing, thrusting, or stabbing, exudes a ruthless killing intent.

When Li Yunjing put himself in that situation, he couldn't help but gasp.

If he were the young lady's opponent, it seems he wouldn't be able to withstand even a single sword strike.

Steward Li stopped when he was about three zhang away from the woman.

Li Yunjing stood firmly beside Steward Li, not daring to cross the line!
Three zhang away, the wind and waves were calm.

Within three zhang (approximately 10 meters), the waves surged.

Falling leaves, upon encountering the invisible sword energy, were all cleaved into dust.

Not a single fallen leaf was an exception!
Such ruthless methods are truly terrifying!

The air itself seemed to tremble slightly.

The agile woman had reached the pinnacle of control over her power.

Apart from fallen leaves, nothing else was struck by the sword energy.

Whether it's trees, flowers, or stones on the ground...

"Such a beautiful woman, yet she possesses such skill! It's simply unbelievable!"

Li Yunjing watched intently as the young lady practiced her swordplay, his gaze deep and focused.

He was a top-tier martial artist. Although he had only recently ventured into cultivation, he could still sense the deadly danger emanating from the methods of the eldest daughter of the Yu family.

That graceful figure and extremely noble temperament concealed a deep killing intent.

Such a woman is like a rose with thorns.

Li Yunjing's admiration was tinged with deep wariness.

"Chucky!"

Sword energy crisscrossed the air, but the eldest daughter of the Yu family did not stop practicing her swordsmanship because of the arrival of Steward Li and Li Yunjing.

Its ethereal figure moved swiftly through the forest, flashes of silver light appearing in its wake.

Judging from her figure alone, she is a peerless beauty of unparalleled grace.

Li Yunjing's heart couldn't help but pound.

At this moment, he seemed very eager to see clearly what kind of divine beauty the woman dancing gracefully in the forest possessed.
But that young lady's sword strike was too fast.

She transformed into countless shadows, and she was everywhere.

Like a camera taking continuous shots, dozens of shadows appear in an instant, overlapping and blurry, making it impossible to discern their shapes.

"You came?"

After a short while, the sword strike ceased.

The fallen leaves dissipated, and the sharp sword energy had subsided and disappeared.

It was as if that terrifying killing intent had never existed. The young lady stood still, and with a "whoosh," she twirled her sword and then inserted her longsword, as smooth as autumn water, into its ancient scabbard.

A hand, as smooth and white as mutton fat jade, carrying a long sword, turned around and slowly walked over.

Even before the person arrived, the air was already filled with a fragrant aroma.

Li Yunjing unconsciously took a light sniff; the smell was very pleasant.

It smells different from the perfume I had in my previous life.

It smelled like a hundred flowers, but Li Yunjing couldn't tell exactly how many different kinds of fragrances were in it.

However, after smelling it, the fragrance is refreshing.

Her beauty was unparalleled, and her eyes flowed like water.

Her lips were bright red and incredibly luscious, and her neck was as white as a swan's.

Her breasts stood tall and firm, her waist slender and delicate, barely a handful.

With her graceful steps, she swayed slightly, truly a fairy of unparalleled beauty.

"Li Yunjing greets Miss, and thanks you for saving my life!"

Not daring to look any longer, Li Yunjing suppressed the ripples in his heart and calmed down.

"what?"

Miss Yu was slightly taken aback.

With her looks, talent, and status, she was already used to being the center of attention.

From the very beginning, Miss Yu had already clearly "seen" Li Yunjing's gaze.

She naturally wouldn't care about such things.

However, Miss Yu did not expect that this young man would have such composure, and he calmed down in just a moment.

"This person seems to be someone of considerable importance?"

The thought flashed through her mind, and through Steward Li's report, Miss Yu already knew about Li Yunjing's situation.

At this point, there was naturally no need to question Li Yunjing.

The eldest daughter of the Yu family smiled gently and said, "My name is Yu Yunyi, and I come from Yueming City. Are you also going to Shenxiao Dao Sect to become an apprentice?"

Manager Li, who was standing to the side, was slightly taken aback, wondering how the young lady had told this boy his name.

"Is there something different about this kid?"

"So what if he was struck by lightning? I've already examined him thoroughly, and there's nothing wrong with him. There are plenty of such insignificant people in the cultivation world. Why does Miss need to reveal her name?"

Recalling his encounter with Li Yunjing, Steward Li still couldn't figure out what was unusual about it.

Being struck by lightning, though not often, happens in various places every year.

He was struck by lightning, but he's still alive?

This isn't the only case!
Steward Li couldn't understand it, but he didn't say anything more.

Yu Yunyi is an outstanding member of the Yu family in this generation.

She wasn't a pampered rich girl who never left her home.

The family's pride, having endured trials that were incredibly cruel.

Even Steward Li couldn't help but shudder as he recalled the past.

He was once one of the trial participants too!
Unfortunately, he failed...

“That’s right! I come from Yunzhou, and I’ve also come to become your apprentice!”

"It's just that I was a bit unlucky; I was struck by lightning and almost died!"

"Luckily, the young lady saved my life, otherwise I would have died before even starting my mission."

Li Yunjing said with a hint of self-deprecation.

However, he feels much better now.

He was critically injured and on the verge of death yesterday.

He felt great after getting off the carriage, even reaching his peak condition.

Now, upon seeing Miss Yu Yunyi, his body was filled with power, even more so than before.
