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

Chu Yunfan stared at the giant python's corpse in the lake, lost in thought.

In the end, Chu Yunfan decided not to venture into the lake, as there were unknown dangers hidden there, and he would be unable to move freely in the water.

However, just as Chu Yunfan turned to leave, he suddenly noticed a small river extending from the lake and flowing into the large river beside it.

And this great river connects to the waterfall in the valley below.

Importantly, the silverfish living in the pool below the waterfall have a miraculous effect of helping to restore the body, and the silverfish in the pool are very similar to those in the lake.

"The silver fish in the valley pool are quite rare. They couldn't have appeared in the pool for no reason. They most likely came from this lake."

The silverfish in the pond have a unique effect of rapidly restoring their physical body.

"Then the silver fish in this lake look even more sophisticated; wouldn't they have an even more magical effect?"

At this moment, Chu Yunfan felt as if a pair of young girls' hands were stroking his chest, making him feel a little itchy.

In the end, Chu Yunfan decided to try catching a silverfish from the lake.

"However, this lake is somewhat dangerous. How should we proceed?"

Chu Yunfan squinted as he pondered.

A moment later, he suddenly looked up and muttered:

"How could I forget? They're fish! I can fish for them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunfan pulled a fishing rod out of a storage bag.

However, he then became troubled again.

"This silverfish is as big as me. What kind of bait should I use?"

Earthworms are obviously not suitable; they wouldn't even be enough to fill a gap between its teeth.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Yunfan took out a piece of monster meat from his storage bag and then hung it on the fishing hook.

However, fishing is never an easy task, and being caught out is commonplace.

Moreover, the fish in this lake are much smarter than ordinary fish.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan's simple fishing method is obviously not feasible.

Through the Eye of the Black Eagle, he could clearly see a silver fish right next to his bait, circling around it but refusing to take the bait, as if it were teasing Chu Yunfan.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan was not in a hurry. He took out a top-grade body-tempering pill and planned to cultivate while waiting for the silver fish to take the bait.

However, to his surprise, as soon as he took out the Body Tempering Pill, he noticed a movement coming from the fishing rod next to him.

Then he looked into the lake and saw that the fish from before had taken the bait.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan was overjoyed.

"Could this be the newbie gift pack the fisherman was talking about?!"

The moment the words "gift package" were uttered, the smile on Chu Yunfan's face vanished.

He discovered that the fish was much stronger than him. When he pulled on the fishing rod, he didn't reel in the fish; instead, he was dragged a few steps towards the lake by the fish.

It's not him fishing; it's the fish fishing for him.

"Could this fish have also cultivated into a second-tier demonic beast? It's so strong!"

It should be noted that an ordinary Martial Arts Cultivator at the seventh stage of the initial stage possesses a strength of seven thousand kilograms.

Chu Yunfan possesses exceptional cultivation aptitude, and the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" he cultivates is also a top-tier technique. His strength is twice that of an ordinary seventh-stage Martial Arts beginner, amounting to a full 14,000 kilograms.

Even so, his strength was still less than that of a fish, which was quite absurd.

Then, Chu Yunfan stomped his feet hard, creating two holes in the ground, and sank into them before barely managing to stop himself.

Even so, he still couldn't pull the fish.

Moreover, his body showed a tendency to continue moving slowly forward.

Just then, Chu Yunfan suddenly remembered that he had a fishing friend who had told him about playing fish.

So Chu Yunfan stopped pulling hard on the fish and instead loosened the fishing line, letting the silver fish escape.

Just when the silverfish thought it had escaped the fishing line and stopped, Chu Yunfan tightened the line again, making the silverfish feel the danger and desperately try to escape once more.

As the silverfish escaped, Chu Yunfan continued to loosen the fishing line.

After repeating this process many times, the silverfish finally exhausted a lot of energy from its repeated desperate attempts to escape, resulting in a significant decrease in its strength, which Chu Yunfan easily caught.

Looking at the giant silver fish rolling around on the ground, Chu Yunfan couldn't help but laugh:

"So that's how you use the 'play hard to get' technique, repeatedly pulling and tugging at the opponent's movements. I've learned something new!"

After saying that, Chu Yunfan returned to the valley, intending to taste the fish and see what was so strange about it.

This time, Chu Yunfan didn't grill the fish, but planned to stew it instead. After all, although grilled fish tastes good, stewed fish is more nutritious.

However, the fish was too big to fit in one pot.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan decided to boil half of the body and cremate the other half.

Soon after, a rich aroma of fish wafted over, and Chu Yunfan couldn't resist taking a bite.

This bite is like a delicacy from heaven.

This way, you get the best of both worlds.

This taste is unforgettable.

"This is absolutely amazing!"

Chu Yunfan sighed and then began his whole fish feast.

After a while, Chu Yunfan lay on the ground with a satisfied look on his face, savoring the delicious food he had just eaten.

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a warm sensation inside his body.

Then, he felt his whole body become warm, and even the top of his head began to emit heat, as if he had become an immortal.

This familiar feeling reminded Chu Yunfan of the first time he ate bear meat in the Thousand Absolute Ancient Land.

"This fish meat indeed contains powerful energy!"

Chu Yunfan was delighted. He then sat cross-legged and began to circulate the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, refining the power within his body.

Time ticked by, and soon half an hour had passed.

Chu Yunfan's head stopped emitting heat, and his body returned to normal.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan opened his eyes, his eyes filled with surprise and delight.

After refining the silver fish, he vaguely felt that his strength seemed to have increased significantly, by about a thousand kilograms.

What does one thousand kilograms mean?

It's important to understand that normally, each advancement of a small realm in the initial stage of martial arts only increases strength by one thousand kilograms.

This means that refining a silver fish is equivalent to advancing to a minor realm.

While this isn't entirely accurate, advancing to a higher realm involves not only increased strength but also a comprehensive enhancement of the body's overall rigidity, speed, and agility.

Even so, the fact that a single silverfish can increase one thousand kilograms of strength is still quite astonishing.

"The silverfish in this lake are really good stuff. Looks like I need to catch more!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunfan climbed back to the top of the waterfall and headed towards the lake at the mountaintop.

For the next month, Chu Yunfan stayed by the lake, cultivating and fishing, enjoying himself immensely.

However, after catching the first fish, his fishing speed slowed down, and he often only caught one every two days or so.

But in a month, they had caught a total of fifteen silverfish.

As expected, Chu Yunfan's strength increased by another 15,000 kilograms.

In addition, during this month, Chu Yunfan's cultivation level also improved from the seventh stage of the Martial Beginning Realm to the ninth stage of the Martial Beginning Realm, and his strength increased by another four thousand kilograms.

In other words, Chu Yunfan's strength has now reached a terrifying 34,000 kilograms.

It should be noted that an ordinary early-stage second-tier demonic beast only possesses a strength of 30,000 kilograms.

In other words, Chu Yunfan is now truly capable of directly confronting second-tier demonic beasts!

This made Chu Yunfan incredibly excited, but he remained calm throughout.

"You can't beat those geniuses from the Qingyun Sword Sect by brute force alone."

There's still one month left in the new talent competition.

I need to focus all my efforts on mastering the "Whirlwind Sword Technique" this month!
