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

Chu Yunfan, who was hiding, heard the commotion outside disappear, but he didn't dare to go out immediately.

After some time, when Chu Yunfan realized that it was still very quiet outside, he slowly got up from the python's excrement. His head, now black, looked around and, seeing that the python had closed its eyes and fallen asleep, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the black excrement.

However, just as he turned to leave, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the inconspicuous plant next to the python's head.

Of course, he also saw the three fruits.

"Could this be the elixir guarded by the giant python?"

Otherwise, it wouldn't value it so much, even sleeping right next to it.

Thinking about this, Chu Yunfan felt a little itchy.

He then moved a little closer and began to observe carefully.

This one look was not a big deal; it was a life-threatening experience.

Because Chu Yunfan discovered that the spiritual herb guarded by the giant python was not actually a second-tier spiritual herb, but a more precious third-tier spiritual herb!

Moreover, those three fruits are top-grade spiritual medicines that can help cultivators break through from the Martial Master realm to the Martial Grandmaster realm—the Transformation Fruit!

It is important to know that the most important thing in breaking through from the Martial Master realm to the Martial Grandmaster realm is to transform the original gaseous spiritual power, that is, spiritual energy, into liquid spiritual power, that is, spiritual essence.

Converting spiritual energy into spiritual essence sounds simple, merely changing from a gaseous state to a liquid state, but in reality, it is extremely difficult. At least half of the peak Martial Masters are stuck at this step and cannot make any progress in their entire lives.

The Transformation Fruit helps cultivators convert spiritual energy into spiritual essence more easily.

This demonstrates the preciousness of the Huayuan Fruit.

Thinking of the benefits of the Transformation Fruit, Chu Yunfan felt an irresistible urge to immediately acquire the three Transformation Fruits.

However, these three Transformation Fruits are still quite a while away from ripening.

However, spiritual herbs often require specific growing environments. If Chu Yunfan uproots this entire spiritual herb, it might wither in a few days, and then he will regret it.

Therefore, although Chu Yunfan was tempted, he had no choice but to temporarily give up his idea of ​​taking the three Transformation Fruits.

Moreover, let's set aside the fact that the Huayuan Fruit is not yet ripe.

At this moment, the giant python was an insurmountable chasm standing before Chu Yunfan.

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

In the end, Chu Yunfan left the cave with a reluctant look in his eyes.

The pool outside provided him with a bath.

Otherwise, the stench emanating from him would probably kill someone.

After quickly washing himself clean, Chu Yunfan swiftly left the valley.

However, before leaving, he covered both entrances to the valley with mud and weeds, naturally to prevent others from discovering the valley.

"I will come back when I am strong enough!"

Chu Yunfan took one last look at the valley before immediately heading towards the Qingyun Sword Sect.

He has gained a lot from this trip and needs to return to the sect to sort it out and digest it.

Along the way, Chu Yunfan hurried on his way, noticing that everyone seemed like a good person and that they all wanted to steal the treasures he was carrying.

Finally, he returned to the Qingyun Sword Sect unharmed.

Only then did he feel truly safe.

At this point, another advantage of having a powerful force becomes apparent: it allows one to rest easy.

Otherwise, if one carries treasures on their person, they might not be able to sleep peacefully.

Upon returning to his sect, Chu Yunfan first went to the mission hall to register his mission completion status and receive his reward.

Chu Yunfan first handed over the Iron Bone Grass and Panax notoginseng Grass to the steward of the Mission Hall and received 500 contribution points.

When Chu Yunfan opened the package behind him and took out more than a dozen storage bags, Steward Liu's eyes lit up instantly.

When he opened the dozen or so storage bags to take a look, he couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

"You killed all of these dozen or so white rhinoceroses?"

Deacon Liu looked Chu Yunfan up and down with an incredulous expression.

First of all, white-horned rhinoceroses are rare, and very few disciples have completed this task.

The key is that Chu Yunfan, who appears to be only at the fifth stage of the initial stage of martial arts, has killed more than a dozen white-horned rhinoceroses, some of which are at the late stage or even the peak of the first tier.

Even among the many geniuses of the Qingyun Sword Sect, very few could achieve such a feat.

Therefore, it's hard to believe that Steward Liu couldn't help but ask the question.

Chu Yunfan quickly thought of a solution and replied:

"You flatter me, Deacon. I only had someone help me; I don't have that kind of ability!"

Chu Yunfan said this because he also knew that with his cultivation at the fifth stage of the Martial Arts Realm, killing these white-horned rhinoceroses was almost impossible unless he had a treasure on him.

Chu Yunfan explained it this way to avoid revealing this fact and attracting envy.

The reason he put the white rhinoceros into more than a dozen storage bags and then wrapped the storage bags in a package was to hide the fact that he possessed a storage ring.

However, although Chu Yunfan kept a low profile, when Deacon Liu took out more than a dozen white-horned rhinoceroses from his storage bag, it still caused quite a stir in the Mission Hall.

In an instant, all eyes in the Mission Hall turned toward Chu Yunfan.

"My God! Who is this? So powerful, killing so many white rhinoceroses!"

"I don't know! I've never seen him before!"

"Judging from his cultivation aura, he's only at the fifth level of the Martial Initial Realm. How did he manage to get so many white-horned rhinoceroses?"

For a moment, the outer disciples in the mission hall couldn't help but start discussing it.

This was supposed to be a perfect opportunity to show off and attract attention.

But Chu Yunfan felt like he had suddenly become a monkey in a zoo, subject to everyone's judgment and criticism.

So he waited silently until Deacon Liu finished tallying the white rhinoceros and he had once again earned 800 contribution points before quickly leaving the mission hall.

However, even though he's gone, the gossip continues.

The atmosphere became even more lively when someone remembered that he was an outer disciple who had only been in the sect for a few days.

Killing more than a dozen adult white-horned rhinoceroses in one go is a feat that many outer disciples at the ninth level of the Martial Beginning Realm lack, and they are all dumbfounded.

While everyone was deep in discussion, Chu Yunfan had already arrived at another palace near the Mission Hall, the Hall of Merit.

The Hall of Merit is where you exchange contribution points for cultivation resources.

Upon entering the Hall of Merit, Chu Yunfan noticed several huge paintings hanging in the plaza above the hall.

These images were formed through spiritual energy projection, but Chu Yunfan didn't know the specific principle behind it.

At this moment, he was carefully observing these scenes.

The content of each picture is different.

At the top of the first image are two large, gleaming golden characters: "Technique".

Below is a list of various martial arts techniques, their grades, and the corresponding contribution points required.

However, Chu Yunfan only glanced at these techniques before losing interest.

Because the cultivation techniques on the Azure Cloud Continent are ranked from lowest to highest as follows: Human Rank, Earth Rank, Heaven Rank, Saint Rank, and Emperor Rank.

Each level of cultivation technique is further divided into four grades: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and peak.

The cultivation techniques displayed on the screen were all at the Human and Earth ranks, which naturally didn't interest Chu Yunfan.

Of course, this does not mean that the Qingyun Sword Sect only has these low-level techniques.

Chu Yunfan knew that this was only the Hall of Merit for the outer sect. He had heard that there were even higher-level Halls of Merit in the inner sect and the core disciple area, where the more advanced cultivation techniques were probably kept.

After all, their statuses are different, and so are their powers.

As outer disciples, we can only learn about these low-level techniques; this is the stark reality.
