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

Upon hearing the fat man's answer, Chu Yunfan immediately lost interest in asking any further questions and turned to continue watching Shangguan Wan and Xiao Yi's battle.

In his opinion, the fat man was just making things up and spouting nonsense.

Upon seeing Chu Yunfan's reaction, the fat man immediately looked anxious and shouted at Chu Yunfan:

"Hey! Yunfan, I haven't finished showing off yet, why are you turning around already!"

Seeing that Chu Yunfan did not react, the fat man immediately explained again:

"Brother Yunfan, I'm really not lying to you."

Fatty's eye for talent is famously sharp.

Back then, it was precisely because Fatty saw your extraordinary talent and remarkable appearance that he guided you to attempt the Three Trials of Sword Inquiry.

Otherwise, why would Fatty bother with you?

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan turned his head and glanced at the fat man.

Seeing this, the fat man immediately continued:

"It's true! One of them comprehended the sword intent of speed, and the other the sword intent of water. This is what my master told me personally!"

Do you know who my master is?

That's none other than the renowned Jian Wuchen, the peak master of Tianquan Peak!

Seeing that the fat man was getting more and more excited as he spoke, with spittle flying all over his face.

Chu Yunfan sighed inwardly. He shouldn't have believed a single word of the fat man's nonsense, and he even wasted his time turning around to look at him.

So, Chu Yunfan ignored the fat man and turned his attention back to Shangguan Wan and Xiao Yi.

However, what Chu Yunfan didn't expect was that Shangguan Wan and Xiao Yi had already stopped fighting and returned to their original positions.

"Junior Sister Shangguan, today's battle ended in a draw."

Six months from now, at the Inner Sect Grand Competition, we'll see who prevails!

Xiao Yi's voice suddenly rang out in Sword Valley.

The voice was clear and powerful, and it echoed throughout Sword Valley.

"The Inner Sect Competition is only six months away now?"

Chu Yunfan squinted, seemingly deep in thought.

Immediately afterwards, Shangguan Wan's clear and melodious voice reached Chu Yunfan's ears.

"Senior Brother Xiao is highly skilled. I'll continue to learn from you another day!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Wan's figure floated up and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Yi watched Shangguan Wan's departing figure and soon left Sword Valley as well.

Seeing the two leave, the inner disciples who had been gathered together to watch the battle dispersed, forming small groups to continue discussing the fight.

As for Chu Yunfan, he was staring into the interior of Sword Valley, lost in thought.

"Strange, Wan'er and Xiao Yi have clearly already left."

But why can I still sense the presence of sword intent in this Sword Valley?

Moreover, the sword intent within was clearly different from the sword intent displayed by Wan'er and Xiao Yi earlier; it seemed to be other types of sword intent, and not just one.

"Brother! Everyone's gone, what are you still staring at? Are you bewitched by Shangguan Wan?"

The fat man's startled voice rang in Chu Yunfan's ears, interrupting Chu Yunfan's thoughts.

However, Chu Yunfan didn't seem angry; he simply asked:

"Didn't you just say you had discerning eyes? Now tell me, what kinds of sword intent exist in this Sword Valley?"

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's words, the fat man replied irritably:

"Brother Yunfan, you can't play this game with me like this!"

Within this inner sect sword valley, the sword intent left behind by countless generations of inner sect disciples, elders, and even peak masters since the founding of the Qingyun Sword Sect is preserved.

There are so many, I can't even count them all! How can I possibly tell you?

Hearing the fat man's answer, Chu Yunfan's eyes lit up, and he pressed on:

"You mean, the sword intent in this Sword Valley was left behind by the former peak master, elders, and disciples?"

"That's right! These sword intents were originally left behind by them for later disciples of the Sword Sect to comprehend."

Otherwise, why would this place be called Sword Valley? It means Valley of Sword Intent. You don't even know that?

As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man stared at Chu Yunfan with a suspicious look.

He discovered that Chu Yunfan seemed to know very little about many things in the inner sect.

In fact, Chu Yunfan was so engrossed in cultivation that he didn't pay much attention to many things in the inner sect.

In fact, Chu Yunfan only knew a few words about the inner sect competition that Xiao Yi had mentioned earlier.

Thinking of the inner sect competition, Chu Yunfan took advantage of the fat man's presence and immediately asked:

"By the way, could you give me a more detailed explanation of the Inner Sect Competition?"

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's words, the fat man immediately shouted excitedly:

"No way! Big brother, you don't even know about the Inner Sect Competition, the most important event for the Inner Sect?"

If it weren't for Chu Yunfan, and the fact that Fatty personally guided him into the Qingyun Sword Sect, Fatty would really suspect that Chu Yunfan might be a spy sent by another sect.

However, Chu Yunfan ignored the shock on the fat man's face and simply urged him on:

"Hey Fatty, time's of the essence, enough with the nonsense, just answer my question!"

Upon hearing this, the fat man had no choice but to explain the details of the inner sect competition to Chu Yunfan.

"The inner sect competition of Qingyun Sword Sect is held every five years."

Every time there is an inner sect competition, all the peak masters and elders will come to watch the battle in person.

As long as you achieve good results in the inner sect competition, you will not only receive generous rewards from the sect.

Moreover, they might even gain the favor of the peak masters or elders, and be chosen as their personal disciples, thus transforming from pheasants into phoenixes and soaring to great heights!

After saying that, the fat man stared at Chu Yunfan with a look of disappointment and exasperation, and sighed:

"You don't even know about such a grand event? I've certainly broadened my horizons!"

Hearing the fat man's sigh, Chu Yunfan didn't pay any attention.

In terms of rewards, he now has a lot of spirit stones, two top-grade spirit weapon longswords, a high-grade defensive spirit weapon inner armor, and an alchemist's robe, which can be called the best among top-grade spirit weapons.

Moreover, he is a third-level alchemist, capable of refining top-grade pills. He can earn spirit stones in large quantities whenever he wants, and he can buy treasures with spirit stones.

He didn't care at all about the rewards from the inner sect competition.

As for the appreciation from the peak master and elders, that might be very important to others.

But for Chu Yunfan, that was all.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfan's interest in the inner sect competition immediately decreased significantly.

The fat man standing to the side was stunned to see Chu Yunfan looking completely uninterested.

"Brother Yunfan, what's with that expression? You seem to look down on the Inner Sect Competition?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan waved his hand and replied:

"Brother Fatty, don't talk nonsense. I don't mean to look down on the Inner Sect Competition, I just have no interest in it."

"Oh, right, I'm going to Sword Valley to cultivate my sword intent, so I won't be able to play with you for now!"

After saying that, Chu Yunfan turned and walked into Sword Valley.

Originally, he wanted to go to the Azure Demon Mountain Range to hone his strength and solidify his cultivation.

But now that Chu Yunfan knows about the existence of Sword Valley, he naturally thinks Sword Valley is better.

The process of comprehending sword intent is also a process of honing one's cultivation. It might even improve one's sword intent along the way, so why not!
