Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

"Judging from this commotion, the treasure that has appeared this time is probably of a very high level!"

Chu Yunfan silently recited a phrase in his mind.

Immediately, he looked in the direction from which the light emerged, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Judging from the location where the light appeared, it should be an area where fifth-tier demonic beasts roam."

Looks like I won't get a share!

A fifth-tier demonic beast could easily crush Chu Yunfan to death with just a flick of its finger.

The treasure is wonderful, but my life is more important.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan did not intend to join in the fun.

However, as the saying goes, "Man dies for wealth, birds die for food."

Chu Yunfan was able to overcome his greed, but for these low-intelligence demon beasts, such obvious fluctuations in the value of a treasure were naturally a fatal attraction for them.

Chu Yunfan then discovered that the second-tier Gale Leopard he had spotted earlier was running towards the depths of the Azure Demon Mountain Range.

Moreover, in the following period of time, Chu Yunfan discovered that all the demonic beasts on the outskirts of the Azure Demon Mountain Range were rushing towards the place where the light had appeared.

In addition, Chu Yunfan also discovered that even some cultivators at the Martial Beginner and Martial Master levels were rapidly advancing in that direction.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh:

"a bunch of idiots!"

Despite this, Chu Yunfan began to worry.

Because all the demonic beasts had gone deep into the area, he couldn't find any to practice against.

However, upon further thought, Chu Yunfan suddenly came up with another good idea.

"Since the demonic beasts have all gone deep into the area, does that mean the rare and precious materials on the outer perimeter are no longer their concern?"

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfan's face immediately lit up with excitement.

Without delay, Chu Yunfan also immediately headed towards the depths of the Qingyao Mountain Range.

However, he wasn't going to compete for the newly emerged treasure, but rather to go to the area where fourth-tier demonic beasts roamed, to search for rare and precious materials there.

And just as Chu Yunfan had guessed, in the Azure Demon Mountain Range, which was teeming with demonic beasts, he traveled all the way from the second-tier demonic beast area to the fourth-tier demonic beast area, but he didn't see a single demonic beast.

This filled him with immense joy, and he quickened his pace, constantly exploring places where there was a possibility of finding the medicinal herbs.

Suddenly, a flower with a rather peculiar appearance came into his view.

This flower has only three leaves, and these three leaves are green, yellow and red respectively.

This flower also has only three petals, but they are all the same red color.

Upon seeing this flower, Chu Yunfan immediately searched his mind for knowledge about spiritual herbs.

A moment later, his eyes widened, and a voice filled with surprise came from his mouth:

"This is the main ingredient for refining the fourth-tier pill, the True Essence Pill: the True Essence Flower!"

Chu Yunfan was so excited because the True Essence Pill was a pill used to enhance the cultivation of Martial Venerable Realm experts.

It can allow the cultivation level of a Martial Venerable Realm expert to increase rapidly.

It's important to know that the further you progress in cultivation, the slower your progress will become.

Taking a Martial Venerable Realm expert as an example, without the assistance of True Essence Pills, it is common for them to advance only one minor realm every few decades by relying solely on their own cultivation.

But with the True Essence Pill, things are different.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan did not hesitate and quickly set off to take the True Essence Flower into his possession.

The three colors of the leaves of the True Flower actually represent the three stages of the True Flower's growth.

Green represents the initial stage, corresponding to the stage where the spiritual power of a Martial Master cultivator is in a gaseous state.

Yellow represents the growth stage, signifying that the spiritual power of a Martial Grandmaster cultivator is in a liquid state at this stage.

Red indicates the mature stage, representing the stage where the spiritual power within a Martial Grandmaster cultivator has evolved into a solid state.

When one leaf of the True Essence Flower turns red and all three petals turn red, it means that the True Essence Flower has fully matured.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan did not hesitate to prepare to pick the fruit.

However, since this True Essence Flower grows on cliffs, Chu Yunfan first transformed into the form of a Kunpeng before flying over to pick it.

When Chu Yunfan flew to the vicinity of the True Essence Flower, he discovered a fact that surprised him even more.

That means there isn't just one True Essence Flower, but a total of three.

However, of the remaining two flowers, only one is fully ripe.

The other flower's petals had not yet turned red.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan had no choice but to reluctantly part with the two mature True Essence Flowers.

After all, while True Essence Flowers that are not fully mature can still be useful, their effects will be greatly reduced. Rather than forcibly picking them and wasting their precious resources, it is better to wait for them to mature.

Although Chu Yunfan enjoys picking flowers, he also has his own principles for doing so.

After picking the True Essence Flower, Chu Yunfan intended to leave, but then a question suddenly occurred to him.

“True Essence Flowers only grow in places where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely abundant, but according to my perception, the concentration of spiritual energy in this area is not significantly higher than that of the surrounding area.”

So, why are these True Essence Flowers growing here?

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfan turned his head, his sharp eagle eyes scanning the surroundings.

Under Chu Yunfan's incredibly sharp eyes, no anomaly in the vicinity could escape his notice.

Finally, Chu Yunfan discovered a tiny hole ten feet below the place where the True Essence Flower grew.

The hole, about the size of an adult's fist, is inconspicuous.

However, Chu Yunfan noticed something amiss.

Because the weeds around the hole were a bit messy and the soil showed signs of being disturbed, there were obvious signs of animal activity.

With a thought, Chu Yunfan spread his wings and arrived in front of the hole.

"Judging from the size of this hole, the monsters living inside must be very small."

But how could there be such a small monster in a fourth-tier monster territory?

Chu Yunfan had this question because, on the Qingyun Continent, the strength of demonic beasts was generally proportional to their size.

The greater the strength, the larger the size.

Judging from the size of this hole, the monster living inside is probably only at the weakest level one.

However, it is hard to imagine that a first-order demon beast could live in an area where fourth-order demon beasts roam freely.

However, as the saying goes, there must be something fishy going on when things seem unusual.

The fact that True Essence Flowers grow here is already somewhat unusual.

In addition, there's this small hole that looks rather unusual.

Chu Yunfan was certain that something unknown was hidden here.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan immediately decided to enter the cave to find out what was going on.

However, the opening is a bit small, and Chu Yunfan needs to find a way to enlarge it.

So he took out the Wind Spirit Sword.

The Wind Spirit Sword is incredibly sharp, making it quick and easy to dig holes with minimal disturbance.

When Chu Yunfan struck with his sword, he hadn't even had time to unleash a second strike.

What happened next caused him to stop involuntarily, his pupils dilating rapidly as if he had discovered something extremely surprising.
