Chapter 76: Eye of Greater Yin
Lightly Wounded Camp.
“Gurgle gurgle……”
A row of medicinal furnaces was scorched by blazing flames. The fragrance of medicinal liquid mixed with the thick stench of blood, creating an extremely pungent odor.
Li Yunqing circulated the Medicine King Scripture, remaining constantly busy without the slightest pause.
Her hands were stained with blood. Having just stitched up and bandaged a wounded soldier, she took out a healing pill and handed it to him.
Without needing to say a word, the wounded soldier hurriedly stood up and made way for the person behind him.
With an unchanged expression, he swallowed the blood-stained pill, walked to a corner of the wounded soldiers’ camp, and the moment he sat down, he fell into a deep sleep.
After a night of fierce battle, it was not just injuries—everyone’s spirit was utterly exhausted.
The soldiers could rest, but Li Yunqing was so busy her feet never touched the ground.
There were too many wounded. The open ground was filled with bodies; at a glance, there were no fewer than several thousand.
Their bodies were covered in claw-torn wounds and massive bite marks.
And this was only one camp—there were more than ten such wounded camps.
All the physicians in the city had been dispersed among the various camps.
“Demonic fiends and evil gods!”
Occasionally raising her head to look toward the distant city wall, Li Yunqing could still hear the roars of demons and the battle cries of soldiers.
She could even see that under the sunlight, the blood-colored mist in the sky was growing denser.
One hundred thousand stationed troops, thirty thousand Demon Suppression Guards, fifty thousand city commandant troops, guards from the major families, and the able-bodied men of the city had almost all ascended the city walls.
The brutality of the battle far exceeded imagination.
After tidying the medicinal furnaces, Li Yunqing hurriedly circulated the Mingyu Divine Art and refilled the furnaces, constantly refining medicine without pause.
Then she turned directly toward the medical table, her fingers moving rapidly like threading a needle, stitching up wounds and handing out medicine.
From morning until night, she never stopped.
“Dong dong dong……”
The sound of a bell suddenly rang out. The wounded who had just lain down all jolted awake, then rose and rushed toward the camp gate.
Grabbing two steamed buns at the entrance, they devoured them in large bites, their hands still stained with blood.
Yet their steps did not slow as they rushed straight toward the city wall.
The sounds of killing resounded through the night.
Even though she had never climbed the wall, even though she had never seen those demons—
Scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood still surfaced in Li Yunqing’s mind.
There were many wounded, but the number of fallen soldiers was likely even greater.
She could already imagine that the moat outside the city was probably filled with corpses.
This was war against demonic fiends and evil gods—there was no room for compromise.
This was likely why the current emperor treated the soldiers of every city with such generosity.
In such a world, only soldiers were the true foundation protecting the nation and its people.
“Miss, take a rest.”
Xiaolan was utterly exhausted, her dress dotted with blood.
Even Xun Fei, a wounded soldier, seemed unable to stand steadily, leaning against a wooden pillar beside a medicinal furnace, breathing heavily.
“You all rest first, I can still hold on!”
Li Yunqing replied without turning her head. Her fair fingers were covered in dark red blood scabs.
Looking up at the wounded descending once more from the city wall, she quickly organized the medicinal furnaces.
“+10 experience to Mingyu Divine Art.”
“+10 experience to Mingyu Divine Art.”
Lines of text occasionally flashed before her eyes, but she ignored them all.
Her spirit remained vigorous. Only her body, busy for an entire day, felt somewhat weak—but under the nourishment of Greater Yin Force and her physique, it quickly recovered.
“Senior Brother Lu!”
Seeing Lu Xingzhou, whose white robes had been dyed red with blood, his arm exposing white bone—
Li Yunqing hurried forward, quickly cleaning and stitching his wounds.
Lu Xingzhou looked exhausted but still forced himself to stay alert. He gave a calm smile, his gaze toward Li Yunqing still pure and sincere, yet he did not speak.
Li Yunqing said nothing either. After stitching the wound, she placed several pills into his hand and said, “Recover well!”
Turning her head, she saw Qin Yu approaching, his entire body soaked in blood, equally exhausted, his eyes seemingly devoid of light.
The flesh on one of his legs was torn open, the wound dark red, as he limped forward.
“Careful!”
Li Yunqing supported Qin Yu to sit down, then began cleaning and stitching his wounds.
“Thank you for your hard work!” Qin Yu’s voice was hoarse, as if he had not drunk water for days.
“You all worked harder!” Li Yunqing replied softly, placing several pills into his hand. “Go rest.”
“Mm.” Qin Yu nodded tiredly. The moment he sat down, he fell into a deep sleep.
Love, affection—at this moment, none of it mattered.
Or perhaps there had never been love in this world, only desire at work.
“Jiang Yu!”
Seeing the figure being carried in, Li Yunqing’s expression tightened as she hurried forward to check.
Jiang Yu’s armor was shattered at the chest, several claw marks so deep they revealed bone, blood spreading everywhere.
He seemed still conscious, but weak.
“It’s fine, it can be treated!”
Li Yunqing quickly spoke, taking up a flying sword to cut open his clothing, then began cleaning and stitching the wound.
“Aren’t you afraid?”
After the wound was stitched, Jiang Yu seemed to regain a bit of strength and spoke hoarsely.
“With you all resisting the demons, what is there for me to fear?”
Li Yunqing responded, placing pills into his hand—but he grabbed her sleeve.
“Don’t worry, we can win. I guarantee it.” Jiang Yu said, his expression resolute.
As if saying—even in death, they would not allow demons to step into the city.
“I believe in you all!” Li Yunqing glanced at the wounded soldiers around her and replied softly, “Go rest.”
Watching Jiang Yu also fall asleep the moment he lay down, she sighed lightly and continued treating the wounded without pause.
A night passed. At dawn, the sounds of battle outside the city seemed to gradually fade.
Li Yunqing finally let out a breath, leaning her body against a wooden stake as her Yin Spirit leapt out.
As the sun slowly rose—
A row of text appeared before her.
“Yin Spirit: Mastery (2% → 3%)”
“Upper Tier of the Initial Realm (63% → 68%)”
A familiar tingling numbness rose from her internal organs. She silently endured it, but before she could relax, another bell rang suddenly.
At that instant, the sounds of slaughter resumed.
The soldiers in the wounded camp all rose together and rushed toward the city wall without hesitation.
Including Lu Xingzhou, Qin Yu, and Jiang Yu.
Their bodies were covered in blood, yet as they stepped out of the camp gate, they all turned back for a glance.
They only saw Li Yunqing still busy, moving between medicinal furnaces and wounded soldiers without stopping.
At that moment, time itself seemed worthless.
But Li Yunqing noticed—the number of wounded in the camp was decreasing.
From several thousand yesterday to fewer than a thousand today, even at night only three to five hundred remained.
Even she was no longer as busy, and even had moments of idleness.
She looked up toward the city wall in the night and understood clearly—some people, including the thousands she had treated these past two days, would likely never return.
“+30 experience to Medicine King Scripture.”
“Medicine King Scripture (Mastery 4725/5000)”
For two days, she had refined medicine day and night. Even though the experience gained had decreased, it still brought the Medicine King Scripture close to mastery.
She switched techniques and began circulating the Mingyu Divine Art.
Until dawn approached, a line of text flashed.
“+30 experience to Mingyu Divine Art.”
“Mingyu Divine Art (Mastery 0/1000)”
“Mingyu Divine Art has reached Mastery. Trait derived: Eye of Greater Yin.”
“Buzz!”
Li Yunqing suddenly felt a coolness in her eyes, as if ice and snow had melted into her pupils.
When she opened her eyes again, everything in the world seemed to have changed—even the trajectory of the wind became clearly visible.
Even the faint strands of blood-colored mist on the distant city wall were clearly seen.
She could also see the figures on the wall, the fluctuations of their blood qi and True Qi.
It was as if a bright moon resided within her pupils, reflecting everything in the world.
Even the darkness of night could not obscure her vision, and she could roughly discern the strength of each figure.
“And also……”
Li Yunqing closed her eyes slightly, then opened them again. Within her clear pupils was now gentleness and allure.
Like a warm flowing stream—clear, soft, as if containing endless tenderness—giving a soul-captivating sensation.
“It can actually bewitch the mind.”
“So this is the Eye of Greater Yin?”
Li Yunqing was astonished.
She could even vaguely sense that if her Yin Spirit were strong enough, merely a glance could cause others to unknowingly fall into illusions, their souls shattered to death.
Especially against men, the power of the Eye of Greater Yin was even greater.
“Another life-saving method!”
Li Yunqing was overjoyed. With such a method, even if she were captured, she might still turn the situation around.
As dawn brightened, her Yin Spirit left her body again to absorb the sun’s violet qi.
“Yin Spirit: Mastery (3% → 4%)”
“Today, perhaps I can push the Medicine King Scripture to mastery.”
After tidying everything, she began refining medicine again.
But by noon, she discovered that the number of people she treated was less than a hundred.
“There are fewer and fewer people.”
Her heart grew heavy. Slightly raising her head, her clear and gentle eyes instantly saw that the figures on the city wall had also become sparse.
There were even massive demon bodies stepping onto the wall, only to be desperately driven back by groups of people.
The entire Qingzhou City was filled with oppression and silence.
“Is the city about to fall?”
Li Yunqing’s heart pounded. Demons were inherently powerful—once the city fell, they could devour humans and recover their strength even faster.
At that point, Qingzhou City would likely become a living hell.
She looked toward the sky. The Sword Saint’s strength seemed to have increased slightly, but facing the siege of three demons, his white robes were also stained red.
His aura was chaotic, and even the hand gripping the sword trembled.
Having restrained three demons for three days and nights without rest, the Sword Saint of Cangshan was clearly struggling.
Yet there was nothing she could do to help.
Before all the men had died, it would never be the women’s turn to step onto the battlefield.
By evening, the text before Li Yunqing finally changed.
“+50 experience to Medicine King Scripture.”
“Medicine King Scripture (Mastery 0/10000)”
“Medicine King Scripture has reached Mastery. Trait derived: Glazed Medicine King Body.”
“Glazed Medicine King Body born, automatically overrides other traits of the Medicine King Scripture.”
At the moment the text appeared, Li Yunqing felt her entire body become light, her skin crystalline like glazed glass.
Her whole body emitted fragrance, even her breath was aromatic, like a supreme medicinal treasure.
Her control over plant vitality increased more than twofold.
Her sensitivity to scents and medicines grew even stronger—by a single sniff, she could distinguish various medicines and toxins, even understanding their medicinal properties.
The power of the Glazed Medicine King Body directly overshadowed the other traits of the Medicine King Scripture and amplified them.
She even had the feeling that even if she consumed deadly poison, her body could weaken all toxins and automatically neutralize them.
“So powerful—the Glazed Medicine King Body… this is a pure, flawless physique.”
Li Yunqing was astonished, but before she could examine it further—
A voice that resounded throughout the entire city suddenly erupted, triggering endless cheers.
“The Sixth Prince has led reinforcements through the night and has arrived outside the city!”
“Qingzhou City is saved!”
