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

Upon hearing this number, Chu Yunfan did not hesitate at all and continued shouting:

"1.8 billion!"

Once the figure of 1.8 billion was announced, the auction house finally fell completely silent.

Then, under Chu Yunfan's expectant gaze, the auctioneer gave the final blow, officially announcing that the "Five Elements Reincarnation Sword Manual" belonged to Chu Yunfan.

"Eighteen billion low-grade spirit stones are equivalent to 180 billion taels of gold on Earth."

I never imagined I'd be so generous one day!

Chu Yunfan gave a self-deprecating smile, a smile that was both happy and helpless.

I'm happy because I successfully obtained the "Five Elements Reincarnation Sword Manual".

Unfortunately, the reason is that he became a millionaire in the first place, but in the blink of an eye, he became a debtor.

According to the calculations of the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, this excludes the 100 million low-grade spirit stones paid by Chu Yunfan, as well as the value of Chu Yunfan's top-grade pills.

In the end, Chu Yunfan still owed the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce one billion low-grade spirit stones.

Of course, the fat man didn't bring out most of the pills for auction this time.

The prices of these pills were estimated based on pills that had already been auctioned.

"At worst, I'll refine more top-grade pills to pay off my debt!"

Looking at the Five Elements Reincarnation Sword Manual in his hand, Chu Yunfan suddenly felt that the debt of ten billion low-grade spirit stones was nothing to worry about.

Spirit stones should be spent on meaningful things.

Afterwards, Chu Yunfan took the beautiful women, including Chen Yuluoyan, Biyuexiuhua, and Chen Yuluoyan, back to their room and began their secluded cultivation.

As for keeping Chu Yunfan's acquisition of the "Five Elements Reincarnation Sword Manual" a secret, Fatty will handle the aftermath.

Such a powerful Saint-level sword technique would have unimaginable consequences if exposed.

A month later, Chu Yunfan successfully transformed all the spiritual power in his dantian into King Yuan Power, reaching the perfect state of a half-step Martial King.

Next, all that is needed is to condense the scattered soul fragments throughout the body to form a complete soul body, and then one can officially break through to the Martial King realm.

However, just as Chu Yunfan was about to continue his seclusion and advance directly to the Martial King realm, a thought inexplicably popped into his mind.

"No, I haven't experienced enough battles recently, and my cultivation is not solid enough. I can't break through to the Martial King level so quickly. I need to hone my skills through battles!"

When this thought suddenly appeared in Chu Yunfan's mind, he felt it made perfect sense and didn't find anything wrong with it at all.

In fact, after so many battles in the inner sect competition, plus the trip to the Azure Demon Mountain Range, and the recent alchemy to consolidate his cultivation, he has been able to achieve his goal.

Chu Yunfan doesn't need to worry about this at all; he can directly go into seclusion to break through to the Martial King realm.

But what Chu Yunfan didn't know was that, in his mind, besides his own consciousness, there was another powerful consciousness influencing his thoughts.

It was this powerful consciousness at work that caused Chu Yunfan to suddenly have that thought just now.

Subsequently, under the invisible guidance of this powerful consciousness, Chu Yunfan naturally arrived at the Qingyun Sword City Arena.

This is the most suitable place in Qingyun Sword City for fighting and honing one's skills.

Of course, before entering the arena, Chu Yunfan had already reverted to his original appearance, instead of his identity as the alchemist Xuanyuan Jian.

However, what Chu Yunfan didn't know was...

Beneath the arena lurks a colossal evil: the Blood Demon.

When Chu Yunfan's figure was seen stepping into the arena.

In the blood sea beneath the arena, the Blood Demon's eerie face suddenly appeared on the surface, emitting a strange "hehehe" laugh.

"You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Meanwhile, inside the arena, when the Blood Demon let out a strange laugh, Chu Yunfan seemed to sense something and glanced at the ground.

"Something feels off."

Chu Yunfan muttered to himself, then looked around.

However, everything around was normal, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Shaking his head, Chu Yunfan stopped thinking about it and went straight to the arena registration area to sign up for the competition.

According to the rules of the arena, Chu Yunfan is currently at the half-step Martial King realm, so his opponents will naturally be either half-step Martial Kings or half-step Demon Kings.

This was because it was Chu Yunfan's first time at the Colosseum.

Therefore, in the first match, the arena arranged for Chu Yunfan to face only an ordinary half-step Martial King.

Originally, Chu Yunfan could have easily defeated this half-step Martial King opponent, but in order to avoid revealing his strength and causing the arena to assign him a powerful opponent too early.

After the battle began, Chu Yunfan concealed most of his strength and fought his opponent for half an hour before pretending to barely defeat him.

Of course, Chu Yunfan didn't waste any time during the battle; instead, he took the opportunity to practice the sword techniques from the "Five Elements Reincarnation Sword Manual".

According to the rules, Chu Yunfan can receive a reward of 100,000 low-grade spirit stones for defeating a half-step Martial King.

Next, Chu Yunfan has two choices.

First, he accepted 100,000 low-grade spirit stones and left.

The second option is to continue fighting.

If Chu Yunfan wins the second battle, he will receive a double reward, which is 200,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Adding the 100,000 low-grade spirit stones from the first battle, that makes a total of 300,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Of course, if Chu Yunfan loses the second battle, he will lose the reward for winning the first battle and get nothing.

Faced with this choice, Chu Yunfan didn't hesitate and immediately chose to continue fighting.

Subsequently, Chu Yunfan practiced the sword moves from the "Five Elements Reincarnation Sword Technique" while taking on challenges, and soon won nine consecutive matches.

Chu Yunfan's battle rewards have accumulated to 51.1 million low-grade spirit stones.

If Chu Yunfan wins another match, he will receive the title of Ten Battle King and an additional reward of 102.4 million low-grade spirit stones for the tenth match.

However, the title of Ten Battle Kings is not so easy to obtain, otherwise the Colosseum would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Therefore, whenever someone is about to obtain the title of Ten Kings, the Colosseum will send out powerful opponents to prevent them from obtaining the title.

This is exactly the situation Chu Yunfan is facing right now.

To Chu Yunfan's surprise, his opponent this time was a half-orc with a human head and a leopard's body.

This was Chu Yunfan's first time fighting against a half-orc.

He soon realized how powerful the orcs were.

The orc in front of him already possessed the bloodline of a leopard demon, making him incredibly fast. He also used human intelligence to comprehend the essence of wind, and combined it with human movement techniques, making him so fast that he was practically invisible, almost catching Chu Yunfan off guard.

Chu Yunfan managed to evade the orc's sudden sneak attack only thanks to the teleportation technique of the "Tianji Shadowless Sword".

However, because the orcs were so fast, the entire arena was filled with their afterimages. Even if Chu Yunfan teleported and outpaced the orcs, he still couldn't find their true forms.

As soon as Chu Yunfan stops and intends to unleash a wide-range attack that covers the entire arena, the orc will instantly circle around behind Chu Yunfan and launch a sneak attack, interrupting Chu Yunfan's swordplay.

At this moment, the owner of the arena, watching Chu Yunfan's battle, immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Getting the title of Ten Battle Kings won't be that easy!"

In fact, the orc Chu Yunfan is facing now is a Ten Battle King secretly cultivated by the arena, specifically to prevent others from obtaining the title of Ten Battle King.
