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

Although fighting is not allowed within the Qingyun Sword Sect, conflicts are inevitable between people, let alone among a group of young people practicing swordsmanship.

That's why the term "challenge" came about.

The so-called challenge is when two people go up to the challenge stage together. As long as they don't deliberately cripple each other's meridians or dantian, or take someone's life, the sect will not interfere.

Of course, challenges can only be initiated by those with lower cultivation levels, or by those with the same cultivation level challenging each other. Those with higher cultivation levels are not allowed to initiate challenges. This is also a way to protect disciples with lower cultivation levels.

Furthermore, for the sake of fairness and transparency, challenges must be witnessed by a deacon or higher-ranking official, and cannot be initiated privately.

However, challenges are usually initiated when there are irreconcilable conflicts.

Because every challenge ends with one side being seriously injured, and sometimes someone even loses their life by accident.

After all, challenges involve any means necessary and are basically life-or-death situations, making accidents very likely.

Right after Chu Yunfan said he wanted to challenge Wang Ziqiao, Wang Ziqiao immediately ordered people to spread the word.

This was to prevent Chu Yunfan from going back on his word.

Thanks to Wang Ziqiao's publicity, everyone in the outer sect soon learned about the matter and began to discuss it animatedly.

"Who is this Chu Yunfan? He actually dares to challenge Wang Ziqiao, who is one of the top ten outer disciples!"

Upon hearing this, someone replied:

"I heard he's a newbie who just started this year!"

"A newcomer! So impressive, challenging the top ten outer disciples right away?"

"What's so great about him? He's just throwing his life away. The top ten outer disciples are ranked based on real merit. Do you really think this is just a joke?"

"That's true. I've heard that ordinary outer disciples at the peak of the Martial Beginning Realm can't even last three moves against them."

That strength, wow!

"That's right, even we senior disciples don't dare to challenge the top ten outer disciples."

A newcomer is simply someone who is ignorant and fearless!

……

The Fifth and Seventh Elders, both Martial Kings, possessed soul power and, despite being far away, were able to see the conflict at the entrance of the Outer Valley clearly.

They also heard every word of the other outer disciples' discussions.

"Fifth Elder, the disciple you have chosen is indeed extraordinary. He has only just arrived at the sect and he already dares to challenge the top ten outer disciples."

Should we step in and stop it?

Otherwise, this disciple would likely be crippled.

Seventh Elder Sun Wuli spoke first.

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder replied calmly:

"Judging from his cultivation aura, he has already reached the peak of the Martial Beginning Realm, so he must have some confidence."

Moreover, the challenge is voluntary; as elders of the sect, how can we arbitrarily interfere and disrupt the sect's rules?

Upon hearing the words "sect rules," the Seventh Elder spoke again:

"Speaking of sect rules, the disciples nowadays are paying less and less attention to them."

To so blatantly dismember someone within the sect, and yet the outer sect deacons and the enforcement team remained completely silent.

"Does this mean that if we don't step in, this huge outer gate will be left unattended?"

As he finished speaking, a chill was clearly etched in the Seventh Elder's voice.

The Fifth Elder, on the other hand, appeared even calmer.

"Human relationships and the law of the jungle have always been like this, and even within a sect, it is difficult to escape it."

This matter likely involves quite a few people from the outer sect; let's wait and see!

……

There was much discussion outside, but Chu Yunfan had already led Zhang San back to his stone house.

"Brother Chu, I didn't betray you!"

This was Zhang San's first sentence after entering the house.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan nodded and replied:

"I understand. Don't say anything yet, let me heal your wounds!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang San's slightly self-deprecating voice rang out.

"Brother Chu, there's no need to trouble yourself."

I know my injuries well; my limbs are broken, and unless I have the best medicine, there is no way I can recover.

This kind of pill is at least of the third rank or higher, something the outer disciples don't even have.

Despite saying that, the dejection in Zhang San's eyes was obvious.

He was once a genius in the eyes of others, and joined the Qingyun Sword Sect under the spotlight.

But now, he has become a useless person.

Chu Yunfan, however, acted as if he hadn't heard Zhang San's words and simply examined his injuries in silence.

After a long pause, he finally uttered a sentence.

"With me here, you will recover!"

After saying that, Chu Yunfan began to take out spiritual herbs from his storage ring.

These spiritual herbs were obtained by Chu Yunfan during his training in the Qingyao Mountain Range, and among them was even a precious second-tier spiritual herb.

Upon seeing the medicinal herbs Chu Yunfan had taken out, Zhang San immediately stopped him:

"Brother Chu, these medicinal herbs are extremely precious. You should keep them for yourself and not waste them on me!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan replied:

"No matter how important the elixir is, it's not as important as my brother, Chu Yunfan!"

Upon hearing the word "brother," Zhang San's next words choked up, and tears even welled up in his eyes.

For many years, since he started practicing cultivation after growing up, he had never heard the word "brother" before.

Even brothers can turn against each other for cultivation resources.

But now, Chu Yunfan is willing to waste so many spiritual herbs for him.

At that moment, he was incredibly grateful for his previous decision.

"I, Zhang San, really didn't follow the wrong person this time!"

While Zhang San was still immersed in his emotions, Chu Yunfan had already begun preparing his medicine.

There are medicinal herbs for external application; simply crush them.

There are also medicines that need to be taken internally and decocted, but fortunately Chu Yunfan carries the tools for decocting medicine with him.

The spiritual herbs on the Azure Cloud Continent are different from the herbs on Earth, so they cannot be used to treat illnesses and injuries according to Earth's prescriptions.

However, for Chu Yunfan, the principles of healing and curing diseases are the same. As long as he understands the properties and effects of the elixir, he can modify the prescriptions on Earth into the prescriptions needed on the Qingyun Continent.

At this moment, Zhang San had come to his senses and saw Chu Yunfan preparing the elixir for him. He was deeply moved, but immediately tried to dissuade him:

"Brother Chu, please stop! The medicinal herbs need to be refined into pills to achieve their best effect."

You really shouldn't waste any more elixirs on me!

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan did not reply, but continued to process the spiritual herbs in his hands.

Seeing that Chu Yunfan wouldn't listen to reason, Zhang San said again:

"Brother Chu, the new talent competition should have already started. You'd better hurry over, or it will be too late."

I heard from Wang Ziqiao's men that among the rewards for this rookie competition is an incredibly precious Spirit Master Pill, which can help someone easily break through to the Martial Master realm. You definitely shouldn't miss it!

After he finished speaking, Chu Yunfan still did not reply.

"Brother Chu, you should go quickly. My wretched life can only last a few more days."

"You can come back and heal my wounds after you've finished the newcomer competition!"

Zhang San was met with Chu Yunfan's silence once again.

In the end, Zhang San could only sigh helplessly.

"Brother Chu, is it worth it for me?"

This time, Chu Yunfan finally turned around, looked at Zhang San, and solemnly said two words.

"worth!"
