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

Chu Yunfan watched Lin Qianqian leave, then looked at the token in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, he put it into his storage ring.

Afterwards, Chu Yunfan continued to cultivate in the valley.

With the Iron-Winged Eagle he had just hunted, Chu Yunfan quickly mastered the Eye of the Black Eagle and the Claw of the Black Eagle from the "Three Transformations of the Black Eagle" technique, bringing their power to a new level.

Now, his Eagle Eyes can see ants clearly even from a hundred meters away.

The Black Eagle's Claws are also exceptionally powerful; they can penetrate ordinary metal with just a finger.

Combined with the gloves obtained from Eagle Nine Claws, it can then withstand the Xuan Tie Sword head-on.

Chu Yunfan was very satisfied with the result, and then he continued to practice the Black Eagle Soaring.

Normally, only when a cultivator reaches the Martial King realm can their body evolve to the point where they can fly.

While there are exceptionally talented individuals who have created such wondrous martial arts as flight techniques, one must at least reach the Martial Grandmaster realm and have their spiritual energy transformed into a liquid state before being qualified to begin cultivating them.

Therefore, being able to fly at the initial stage of martial arts is an extremely difficult and incredible thing.

"I wonder which extraordinary genius invented such a secret technique as the Soaring Eagle. It is truly admirable!"

As Chu Yunfan flew high in the sky, looking down at the earth below, he couldn't help but sigh.

Then, he recalled the Eye of the Black Eagle and the Claw of the Black Eagle in "The Three Transformations of the Black Eagle." This method of using parts of a demon beast's body to strengthen the human body was also not to be underestimated.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfan suddenly had many other thoughts.

"If the eyes and fingers can be strengthened in this way, can other parts of the body be strengthened as well?"

Humans have an advantage over demons and beasts in that they have higher comprehension, can create powerful cultivation techniques and martial arts, and have invented alchemy and weapon crafting techniques.

But no matter how skilled one is, one is still vulnerable to a kitchen knife; physical weakness has always been a disadvantage for human cultivators.

No matter how strong you are, you can easily be killed if you encounter an equally matched or even stronger opponent.

Unlike human cultivators, demonic beasts possess powerful bodies and strong vitality, making them much harder to kill.

In that case, could I, through cultivating the Eye of the Black Eagle and the Claw of the Black Eagle, continuously strengthen my entire body, ultimately possessing both the powerful comprehension of a human cultivator and the formidable physique of a demon beast?

Chu Yunfan muttered to himself, his expression becoming increasingly interesting.

He thought this seemed like a good idea.

In fact, Chu Yunfan's idea had already been considered by others on the Qingyun Continent, and some had even put it into action.

The mainstream cultivation method in Qingyun Continent is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for one's own use to strengthen oneself.

However, this method of cultivation requires a high level of comprehension from the practitioner.

First of all, the cultivation of the Martial Beginning Realm goes without saying. Not to mention humans, even a pig could cultivate to the ninth level of the Martial Beginning Realm.

However, a watershed moment appears starting from the ninth stage of the Martial Beginning Realm.

Starting from the Martial Master realm, one needs to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate.

To absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the first thing is to sense its presence.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is formless and intangible, and it is not easy to sense its existence. Many cultivators with low cultivation aptitude and comprehension are stuck at the ninth level of the Martial Initial Realm for their entire lives, unable to break through to become a Martial Master.

After breaking through to the Martial Master realm, one needs to liquefy the spiritual energy within the body to break through to the Martial Grandmaster realm.

This may sound simple, but it is actually more difficult than breaking through to the Martial Master realm.

As one progresses through the later stages of cultivation, the difficulty of breaking through increases significantly, which is why many people remain stuck at a certain level for their entire lives, never able to break through.

There is no other reason than cultivation talent. If your talent is insufficient, you cannot break through. This is a cruel conclusion drawn from the personal experiences of countless cultivators over tens of thousands of years.

However, every time a cultivator breaks through a major realm, not only will their strength increase dramatically, but their lifespan will also increase exponentially.

Driven by the dual allure of power and longevity, some finally sought alternative paths and devised other cultivation methods.

Body-refining techniques are among the most popular.

The so-called body-refining technique involves treating oneself as a demon beast, imitating the cultivation methods of demon beasts, constantly strengthening one's body, and ultimately achieving an increase in strength and an extension of lifespan.

The biggest advantage of body tempering is that it has very low requirements for talent. As long as you are willing to endure hardship and have enough resources, it is very easy to break through in cultivation before reaching a certain level.

Of course, this method of cultivation also has obvious drawbacks.

Firstly, before reaching a certain level, one can only rely on physical attacks and cannot launch ranged attacks.

Spiritual energy cultivators, starting from the Martial Master realm, can use spiritual energy for ranged attacks.

In this case, those who cultivate their physical body often have no choice but to passively take a beating when facing those who cultivate spiritual energy.

Secondly, this method of body refinement requires many treasures to continuously strengthen the body.

Unlike spiritual cultivators, who can rely solely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Of course, for a top sect like the Qingyun Sword Sect, there is no problem of insufficient cultivation talent, so none of the disciples in the sect have ever practiced body-refining techniques.

This is why Chu Yunfan is currently unaware of body refinement as a cultivation method.

Of course, as a top expert in traditional Chinese medicine, Chu Yunfan has profound knowledge of human anatomy and the principles and effects of various drugs.

Although he didn't know the body-refining methods on the Azure Cloud Continent, with the reference of the Mysterious Eagle Eye and Mysterious Eagle Claw, researching ways to strengthen other parts of the body and the corresponding medicinal preparations was no longer an unimaginable thing.

"Give me some time, and I'm sure I can figure it out."

However, at this stage, improving our strength is the most important thing!

After thinking for a long time, Chu Yunfan sighed softly and then buried the matter in his heart for the time being.

A day later, Chu Yunfan successfully cultivated the Soaring Eagle technique to the minor completion level, greatly improving his flight speed and agility.

Of course, the Xuan Ying Soaring also has a drawback: before the cultivation is perfected, it needs to rely on a certain altitude to take off smoothly, and cannot take off from the ground like pulling up on dry land.

Of course, for Chu Yunfan, achieving this result so far is already quite good.

What made him even happier was that, after this period of cultivation, his cultivation level had improved again, reaching the seventh stage of the Martial Beginning Realm.

It should be noted that Chu Yunfan has only been in Qingyun Continent for a little over a month.

In just over a month, he went from an ordinary person with no cultivation to the seventh stage of the Martial Beginning Realm. Moreover, he was able to kill Martial Master Realm experts even if the realm was higher. He was not the kind of Martial Beginning Realm seventh stage that was achieved purely by relying on cultivation resources.

This achievement is comparable to that of the top cultivation geniuses on the Azure Cloud Continent.

Chu Yunfan's ability to achieve this was largely due to the "Huangdi Neijing" (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic).
