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

Chu Yunfan remained motionless because he was reading the information from the jade tablet.

However, there was too much information in the jade tablet for him to read all of it at once.

The first thing he found was information about the white pill in his hand.

It turned out that the white pills in the jade bottle in his hand were a type of elixir.

Specifically, it is a first-tier elixir, the Body Tempering Pill.

As we all know, the first stage of cultivation, the Martial Initial Realm, is a realm that lays the foundation for future cultivation.

The so-called "laying the foundation" refers to strengthening the cultivator's body.

If a cultivator's body is not strong enough, they will not be able to withstand the spiritual energy of heaven and earth entering their body, let alone absorb it for cultivation.

It's like putting iron into a glass bottle; sooner or later, the glass bottle will break.

There are two ways to strengthen the body. One is to temper the body by practicing various martial arts techniques to achieve the goal of strengthening.

The second method is to strengthen the body by using external forces.

The Body Tempering Pill is a type of external force.

Taking one Body Tempering Pill is equivalent to three days of arduous cultivation.

This is one of the reasons why the scions of powerful families and influential forces cultivate at a much faster pace than ordinary people, because they have enough external support to draw upon.

Chu Yunfan, on the other hand, joined the powerful Qingyun Sword Sect through his own efforts.

Of course, the resources of powerful forces are not unlimited. If you want to obtain enough cultivation resources, you can only rely on your own efforts.

For example, the Body Tempering Pill is a benefit for outer disciples. The sect will give each outer disciple five Body Tempering Pills every month.

To obtain more Body Tempering Pills, one must rely on contribution points to exchange for them.

As for how to obtain contribution points, there are many ways.

For example, completing tasks issued by the sect, achieving good rankings in sect-organized competitions, and breaking certain cultivation records can all earn rewards.

Just as Chu Yunfan was focused on reading the information in the jade tablet, a series of knocks suddenly sounded outside the stone house, startling him awake.

Although Chu Yunfan looked somewhat displeased, he still opened the door in order to find out what was going on.

When the door opened, three boys around fifteen or sixteen years old appeared before Chu Yunfan.

One of the boys, who had darker skin and was quite muscular, stood at the very front.

Upon seeing Chu Yunfan, the burly young man immediately said arrogantly:

"Kid, hand over your Body Tempering Pill, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

As the burly young man spoke these words, the other two young men beside him rolled up their sleeves, looking ready to fight.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan looked self-deprecating. He never expected that one day he would be blocked at the door by a few fifteen or sixteen-year-old kids. He felt like a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs.

Seeing that the visitor was hostile, Chu Yunfan also showed no politeness and said coldly:

"You three better get out of here before I lose my temper!"

If Chu Yunfan hadn't been a newcomer and worried about causing trouble, he would have already taught these three a lesson and wouldn't have bothered talking to them.

However, upon hearing Chu Yunfan's warning, the three of them not only failed to behave themselves, but instead burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Hey! You're just a twenty-year-old Martial Arts beginner at the third stage, and you dare to yell at me?"

"How arrogant! And you even got angry! Go ahead and show it to me!"

At the same time, the other two people beside the burly young man echoed:

"He doesn't think he's better the older he gets, does he? What an idiot, hahaha!"

Hearing their mockery, Chu Yunfan was enraged. He instantly thrust his longsword forward and pressed it against the burly young man's throat.

The burly boy's laughter abruptly stopped.

Chu Yunfan's sudden attack caught him completely off guard and gave him a big fright.

However, after a short while, he regained his previous arrogant expression.

"Hey! Trying to scare me? Go ahead and do it!"

If you dare lay a hand on me, you won't live either!

Upon hearing the burly young man's words, Chu Yunfan remained noncommittal.

According to the rules of the Qingyun Sword Sect, killing fellow disciples at will is punishable by death.

Meanwhile, due to the conflict, a large number of outer sect disciples had gathered nearby to watch.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan found himself in a dilemma.

Furthermore, by stabbing the burly young man to death, he himself was also doomed.

However, if he were to back down and be insulted by a few children without daring to fight back, he would lose all face and be ridiculed by others from then on.

Just as Chu Yunfan was struggling with his thoughts, the burly young man had already revealed a smug smile on his face.

However, his smile was only temporary.

Because Chu Yunfan had already figured out a way to deal with him.

As a veteran traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Chu Yunfan has an excellent understanding of the acupoints on the human body.

So he sheathed his longsword, then extended two fingers and, with lightning speed, tapped the burly boy's acupoints.

Then, everyone heard a loud laugh coming from the burly young man.

Chu Yunfan closed the door and returned to his room.

At this moment, the many outer disciples watching the battle thought that Chu Yunfan had chosen to back down, and they all sighed.

"This guy is really a piece of trash. He doesn't even dare to fight back. No wonder he's only at the third stage of the Martial Beginning Realm at such an old age."

One of the outer disciples spoke up.

Then another person said:

"That's not how it works. Casually injuring fellow disciples is punishable by the sect rules. His move was wise."

"Heh! Injure them? A wise move? Look at those three, one is at the fifth level of the Martial Beginning Realm, and the other two are at the fourth level of the Martial Beginning Realm. Who can he beat? I think he's just too scared to make a move and is just a coward!"

……

After a brief discussion, the many outer disciples who had been watching the spectacle dispersed.

However, just then, a scream suddenly came from Chu Yunfan's door.

"Boss, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"

Upon hearing this sound, everyone turned around to look again.

It turned out that the burly young man had been laughing nonstop after Chu Yunfan had pressed his acupoints to make him laugh.

The key point is that his laughter got louder and louder, and his mouth opened wider and wider.

By this point, his mouth was even split open from laughing, and blood was flowing out, but he seemed oblivious and was still laughing loudly.

At this moment, his two henchmen realized something was wrong and screamed.

Meanwhile, other outer disciples who were watching the commotion also noticed this unusual phenomenon. The strange sight of the burly young man laughing while blood flowed from the corner of his mouth sent chills down their spines.

Especially as time went on, the crack at the corner of the burly boy's mouth continued to widen, and blood flowed like water, while his laughter grew louder and louder.

This scene was truly chilling.

No matter what his two henchmen tried, they could not stop him from continuing to laugh.

Finally, one of the henchmen realized what was happening and knocked on Chu Yunfan's door again.

"Hey! Something's happened, come out quick!"
