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

Meanwhile, Chu Yunfan was treating Zhang San's injuries in the stone house.

Meanwhile, in the outer valley's competition arena, the referee had already called his name.

"Next match: Chu Yunfan vs. Wang Xiaoshan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man slowly walked onto the competition field.

Judging from his appearance, this person was the same one who had been carrying Zhang San earlier.

However, after this person stepped onto the stage, Chu Yunfan did not appear for a long time.

Seeing this, the referee shouted:

"Where is Chu Yunfan?!"

After he finished speaking, the scene fell silent, and no one responded.

A moment later, the referee announced:

"In this match, Chu Yunfan has withdrawn from the competition, and Wang Xiaoshan has advanced to the next round!"

After saying that, the referee told Wang Xiaoshan to leave the field and prepare for the next match.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoshan had returned to Wang Ziqiao's side and said with a contemptuous look:

"Brother, it seems that Chu Yunfan is a coward. He doesn't even dare to go on stage to face me."

My previous threat to challenge you was merely a delaying tactic, a way to prolong my life!

Upon hearing this, Wang Ziqiao sneered:

"A delaying tactic? He'll never see the sun rise tomorrow!"

……

Meanwhile, other outer disciples were also discussing Chu Yunfan.

"Didn't Chu Yunfan just say he wanted to challenge Wang Ziqiao? How come he doesn't even dare to participate in the newcomer competition now?"

Upon hearing this, someone scoffed:

"He probably said that on purpose to get attention and fame."

How could a newcomer dare to truly challenge the top ten outer disciples? That would be pure suicide!

"I think so too, they're just people who seek fame and fortune!"

……

At this moment, in the air above the arena, the Fifth Elder and the Seventh Elder were not paying attention to the commotion in the arena, but instead were both looking in the direction of Chu Yunfan's stone house.

Under the probing of their soul power, the stone house was as good as empty, and the situation inside was completely clear.

"Fifth Elder, it seems your judgment is indeed excellent."

Putting aside their strength, their unwavering loyalty and righteousness, unmoved by fame or fortune, are precisely the qualities a disciple of my Sword Sect should possess!

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder sighed:

"Unfortunately, such people are becoming increasingly rare in today's cultivation world!"

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Elder nodded, then a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"Fifth Elder, do you think these medicinal herbs will still work after he's messed with them like this?"

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder shook his head:

"I don't understand either. I've never seen such a method of refining medicine. It's as crude as how ordinary people handle herbs."

After saying that, the Fifth Elder added:

"However, it's strange that these medicinal herbs lost so little efficacy despite his crude methods!"

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Elder used his soul power to carefully examine the spiritual medicine in Chu Yunfan's hand, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

"The medicinal effects are preserved so well; this technique is comparable to that of the fourth-level alchemists in the sect!"

"This kid, could he be born to refine pills?"

……

Chu Yunfan, inside the stone house, was naturally unaware that someone was spying on him.

By this time, he had finished applying the external medicine, then took out some gauze, wrapped the medicine in it, and applied it to Zhang San's wound.

To be honest, Zhang San didn't have much hope for Chu Yunfan's healing.

However, not long after Chu Yunfan applied the medicine, he felt a warm and comfortable sensation coming from the wound.

"I can feel my feet again?"

Zhang San had an expression of disbelief on his face.

After his limbs were broken, his body, as a self-protective mechanism, blocked his brain's perception of his limbs, so his limbs had almost lost all sensation.

But now, under Chu Yunfan's treatment, he has regained consciousness, which instantly filled him with hope.

He stared intently at Chu Yunfan, anticipating Chu Yunfan's next move.

However, to his surprise, after Chu Yunfan applied the medicine to him, he actually took out a box.

When the box was opened, it was filled with countless silver needles.

The silver needles were thin and long, shimmering with light, and looked extremely sharp.

Just as Zhang San was wondering what Chu Yunfan was going to do, Chu Yunfan picked up a silver needle, flicked it with his finger, and the silver needle shot directly into his body.

Immediately afterwards, under his dazed gaze, Chu Yunfan used the same technique to shoot dozens of silver needles into his body.

"this?"

If he hadn't firmly believed that Chu Yunfan wouldn't harm him, he would have seriously suspected that Chu Yunfan was also one of Wang Ziqiao's men, and that he was here to continue torturing him.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang San couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Chu, why are you inserting these silver needles into my body?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan replied calmly:

"Your blood and qi are stagnant, and many parts of your body are blocked."

These silver needles can promote the flow of qi and blood in your body, clear blockages, and help you recover from injuries!

After hearing Chu Yunfan's answer, Zhang San nodded thoughtfully, then asked again:

"Brother Chu, I've never heard of such a healing method before. Where did you learn it from?"

At this moment, Zhang San's gaze towards Chu Yunfan was filled with disbelief and admiration.

As the silver needles were fully inserted into his body, he found that he felt significantly more comfortable.

He had never seen, or even heard of, such a simple yet miraculous way of healing.

When Chu Yunfan heard Zhang San's question, he replied:

"This is called acupuncture. If you want to learn, I can teach you when you have time!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang San shook his head:

"No need, Brother Chu, I was just curious. This acupuncture technique is amazing."

However, a rough fellow like me only knows how to wield swords and knives; I can't learn something like silver needles!

Upon hearing these three answers, Chu Yunfan smiled and said nothing more. Instead, he picked up the freshly brewed medicine and poured it into a bowl.

At this moment, in the sky outside the stone house, the Seventh Elder looked at the Fifth Elder with a puzzled expression and asked:

"Fifth Elder, have you ever heard of acupuncture?"

"Having lived in the Sword Sect for so many years, I wouldn't say I'm incredibly knowledgeable, but I'm not exactly ignorant either. How come I've never heard of acupuncture before?"

As the voice faded, the Fifth Elder slowly shook his head, his tone equally puzzled.

"I have never heard of this acupuncture technique before."

However, judging from the situation, it does seem to have a remarkable effect on healing injuries.

I don't know how he did it, he healed the wound without relying on any elixirs, just by inserting a few needles.

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder continued:

"Yes! This kid, I wonder where he learned such amazing healing techniques. Could it be that he has some unknown background?"

……

The Fifth Elder and the Seventh Elder watched Chu Yunfan treat Zhang San's injuries while discussing it curiously.

To their disbelief, thanks to Chu Yunfan's series of mysterious actions, their soul power could clearly sense that Zhang San's injuries were rapidly improving.

Even the broken joints and flesh inside the body show signs of regeneration and are slowly recovering.
