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

At the same time, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the stands.

The battle between Chu Yunfan and Wang Tianba was extremely intense, with one deadly move after another. In the end, they even launched an attack comparable to that of a Martial King, which was truly exciting to watch.

The disciples of Tianji Peak, in particular, were so excited to see Chu Yunfan win first place in the inner sect competition that they all stood up and cheered.

Zhang San was naturally the most excited one.

Back then, he chose to abandon Wang Dali and follow Chu Yunfan simply because he valued Chu Yunfan's potential and character at the time.

But he never dreamed that Chu Yunfan would grow up so quickly.

Within two years of joining the sect, he rose from the lowest-ranking outer disciple to the top spot among the inner disciples.

This can only be described as legendary.

As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

Zhang San believed that, given his relationship with Chu Yunfan and Chu Yunfan's loyal and righteous character, this was a good match.

After this inner sect competition, Zhang San will begin to rise to prominence.

Actually, we don't need to look to the future. We can tell from Zhang San's current state that ever since he chose to follow Chu Yunfan...

His life trajectory has undergone tremendous changes.

There were many disciples who entered the sect with Zhang San, and many of them were more talented than Zhang San.

But among those people, the one with the highest cultivation level so far has only just broken through to the Martial Grandmaster realm.

Zhang San, on the other hand, has now reached the peak of the Martial Grandmaster realm.

This speed is terrifying.

The reason Zhang San cultivated so quickly was because of the pills Chu Yunfan provided him with.

When Chu Yunfan became a third-tier alchemist, he only refined two types of pills.

One type is the Transformation Pill, which can help people break through to the Martial Grandmaster realm.

Another type is the Spirit Essence Pill, which can help cultivators at the Martial Sect Realm improve their cultivation.

By consuming elixirs like food every day, Zhang San's cultivation level naturally improved rapidly.

Of course, apart from Zhang San, Chu Yunfan gave the vast majority of the pills he refined to Lin Tianya to help Lin Tianya develop and expand the Lin family.

In fact, not only pills, but all the spoils of war that Chu Yunfan had obtained before, all that he could not use himself, including some low-grade and mid-grade spiritual artifacts, he gave to the Lin family. He even provided Lin Tianya with a large number of low-grade spirit stones.

The reason why Chu Yunfan went to such great lengths to develop the Lin family was...

On the one hand, it was because of Lin Qianqian.

On the other hand, Chu Yunfan knew that he came from Earth and had no foundation in the Qingyun Continent, which was an extremely dangerous thing.

No matter where you are, it's always foolish to go it alone; you need strong support to gain a foothold.

The Lin family became Chu Yunfan's choice.

Because of the Lin family, through Lin Qianqian's connections, they were one of the forces that Chu Yunfan was closest to and most trusted.

Moreover, the Lin family was not powerful from the beginning; it gradually grew stronger thanks to Chu Yunfan's growth.

The most reliable force is one that you cultivate yourself.

Of course, cultivating a force is not a simple matter. First of all, regardless of other factors, cultivation resources are a bottomless pit.

Therefore, when the Inner Sect Competition began, Chu Yunfan chose to bet all his spirit stones, betting on himself to win first place in the Inner Sect Competition.

The real reason was that Chu Yunfan felt he didn't have enough spirit stones.

Of course, at this moment, this bet was a small matter for Chu Yunfan.

Most importantly, there is the reward for winning first place in the inner sect competition.

Although the fat man had previously stated with certainty that the winner of the inner sect competition would receive a sacred artifact as a reward.

However, this is just what the fat man said.

Whether or not there will be a reward of a sacred artifact is still unknown.

Under Chu Yunfan's expectant gaze, the seven inner sect peak masters finally made their official appearance.

Their appearance served two purposes: firstly, to announce the final rankings of the inner sect competition.

Secondly, the rewards for the Inner Sect Competition must be announced.

First, there are the rewards for those who ranked 100th to 11th in the Inner Sect Competition.

Chu Yunfan had absolutely no interest in hearing any of this.

Chu Yunfan only took it seriously when the rewards for the top ten were announced.

Of course, due to Wang Tianba's death, the so-called top ten actually only has nine left.

As a result, all the other people in the top ten, except for Chu Yunfan, moved up one place.

As the voice of Li Wujiang, the peak master of Tianji Peak, rang out, the rewards for the top nine were officially announced.

"Ninth place, Tian Shu Peak Wu Po Fang."

The reward is 100,000 contribution points, one bottle of Wang Yuan Dan, and one high-grade spiritual weapon!

"Eighth place, the chief disciple of Yuheng Peak, Shen Muyan."

The reward is 200,000 contribution points, one bottle of Wang Yuan Dan, and one high-grade spiritual weapon!

"Seventh place, the chief disciple of Yaoguang Peak, Jueying."

The reward is 300,000 contribution points, one bottle of Wang Yuan Dan, and one high-grade spiritual weapon!

"Sixth place, Xiao Yi, the chief disciple of Tianji Peak."

The reward is 400,000 contribution points, one bottle of Wang Yuan Dan, and one high-grade spiritual weapon!

"Fifth place, the chief disciple of Kaiyang Peak, Lie Shanhe."

The reward is 500,000 contribution points, two bottles of Wang Yuan Dan, and one top-grade spiritual weapon!

"Fourth place, the chief disciple of Tianxuan Peak, Shangguan Wan."

The reward is 600,000 contribution points, two bottles of Wang Yuan Dan, and one top-grade spiritual weapon!

Aside from the top three, the rewards for ninth to fourth place are pretty much the same: contribution points plus a King Yuan Pill, and a spirit weapon.

Contribution points, needless to say, can be exchanged for various cultivation resources and treasures within the Qingyun Sword Sect.

As for the magical artifacts, the winners can choose them themselves from the inner sect's treasure vault.

As for the Wang Yuan Dan, it is a precious fifth-tier pill. After a cultivator at the peak of the Martial Venerable Realm refines it, he can strengthen the spiritual power in his dantian, laying the foundation for converting the spiritual power in his body into Wang Yuan power and breaking through to the Martial King Realm in the future.

After announcing the rewards for ninth through fourth place, Li Wujiang paused for a moment before continuing:

"Third place, the chief disciple of Tian Shu Peak, Wu Pojun."

The reward includes one million contribution points, one bottle of Soul Condensation Pill, one top-grade spiritual weapon, and one opportunity to cultivate in the Sword Tomb!

Before Li Wujiang could announce the second-place prize, his words had barely left his lips when a cacophony of voices erupted from the audience, so loud it seemed to reach the heavens.

The reason these disciples were so excited was naturally because of the reward for third place.

Aside from contribution points and top-grade spiritual artifacts, the remaining Soul Condensing Pill is an extremely rare and precious elixir.

Because the Soul Condensing Pill can strengthen a cultivator's soul and increase the probability of breaking through to the Martial King realm.

Moreover, the Soul Condensing Pill, a pill that can enhance the soul, not only uses extremely rare materials, but is also extremely difficult to refine, and many Pill Kings are unable to refine it.

This makes obtaining the Soul Condensing Pill extremely difficult.

If this bottle of Soul-Gathering Pills were placed in the outside world, it would be enough to cause all the peak Martial Venerable cultivators to fight tooth and nail for it.

Of course, even if the Soul Condensing Pill was so precious, it wasn't enough to excite these inner disciples so much.

What truly excited them was the opportunity to cultivate in the Sword Tomb that Li Wujiang had mentioned.
