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

After leaving the outer sect, Chu Yunfan returned to Tianji Peak, accepted several inner sect missions, and then left the Qingyun Sword Sect, heading towards the Lin family.

What Chu Yunfan didn't notice was that from the moment he left the Pill Valley, there was someone hiding in the shadows, always watching him.

This person was none other than Wang Tianba, an inner disciple.

Wang Tianba stared at Chu Yunfan's departing figure, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Chu Yunfan, I originally wanted you to watch the Lin family perish and experience what it feels like to have your family destroyed."

Unexpectedly, that good-for-nothing Yan Poshan couldn't even handle a half-crippled member of the Lin family.

"Since that's the case, I'm not going to waste any more time with you. You can just wait to go to the underworld and kowtow to my brother to confess your sins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Tianba's figure disappeared into the shadows.

Not long after, Chu Yunfan arrived at the Lin family's residence.

He then went directly to Lin Tianya's room and handed him the pills.

"Uncle Lin, take one of each of these two pills and see if they can neutralize the poison!"

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's words, Lin Tianya did not hesitate. He took the two bottles of pills from Chu Yunfan's hand, took out one pill from each, and put it into his mouth.

Then, Lin Tianya began to circulate his cultivation technique and refine the pills.

Not long after, Lin Tianya suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black, stagnant blood.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan noticed that the bluish-red color on Lin Tianya's face had faded considerably.

However, some residue remains.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan said:

"Uncle Lin, the poison hasn't been completely eliminated yet, take another dose of the pill!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianya swallowed two more pills.

Not long after, Lin Tianya spat out another mouthful of stagnant blood.

His complexion finally returned to normal.

However, his lips were somewhat pale.

This is because he had been poisoned for a long time and his body was somewhat weak.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan wrote a prescription and told Lin Tianya to rest well and take good care of his health.

Then, Chu Yunfan asked:

"Uncle Lin, where's Qianqian? I haven't seen her this time."

Logically speaking, every time he arrived at the Lin family, Lin Qianqian would immediately appear before him.

But Lin Qianqian didn't show up today, which made him a little puzzled.

When Lin Tianya heard Chu Yunfan's question, he didn't hide anything and directly told Chu Yunfan about Lin Qianqian's seclusion and cultivation.

He then explained the reasons to Chu Yunfan.

After listening, Chu Yunfan's face turned solemn.

The significant difference in cultivation levels is indeed a serious problem.

"It seems I need to become a real alchemist as soon as possible."

In this way, I can refine pills to help those around me improve their cultivation.

That way, I won't have to watch them fail to break through and eventually leave me.

Then, Chu Yunfan said to Lin Tianya:

"Uncle Lin, once Qianqian comes out of seclusion, please tell her that I have a way to handle this matter, so she doesn't need to worry too much!"

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's words, Lin Tianya couldn't help but ask:

"any solution?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan shook his head.

"Uncle Lin, this is just a plan of mine. I'll tell you when I've realized it."

I still need to cultivate, so I'll take my leave now. I'll come visit you and Qianqian again next time!

After saying that, Chu Yunfan left the Lin family.

Not long after, Chu Yunfan appeared in front of that mysterious lake.

Afterwards, Chu Yunfan started fishing again.

While fishing, he carefully studied the alchemy techniques in his mind.

In summary, the content of alchemy is actually quite simple, consisting of only two parts.

First, there is the prescription.

Second, fire control.

The biggest difficulty in obtaining the formula lies in its scarcity.

Every pill formula is a treasure. Apart from a few that alchemists possess, most are kept in the Pill God Valley, and ordinary people have no access to them.

Once you have the recipe, it's not difficult to implement. When refining the pills, simply follow the recipe to specify the age and quantity of the medicinal herbs, and then put the herbs into the alchemy furnace in the correct order.

This mainly tests your familiarity with spiritual herbs. Even if your wood attribute isn't strong, as long as you work hard enough, it won't be a big problem.

Secondly, controlling the fire is the most difficult part of alchemy.

First of all, ordinary fire cannot be used for alchemy; spiritual fire must be used.

Spiritual fire is divided into three types.

These are human fire, earth fire, and heavenly fire.

So-called "human-made fire" refers to fire created by humans, and it comes in two forms.

One method is to create one's own alchemical fire in the dantian by following the records in alchemy, and then use the alchemical fire to refine elixirs.

This method is suitable for people with strong fire attribute talents.

Another type of fire is the fire produced by burning spirit stones, called spirit stone fire.

Using this kind of fire to refine pills is a waste of spirit stones.

As for subterranean fire, there are two types.

One is the fire of the earth's veins; deep within the earth, endless flames are hidden.

Some of these flames will reach the shallow layers of the earth's surface, forming underground fire veins, which are commonly known as volcanoes.

The fire from the underground fire veins is called the fire of the earth veins.

Refining pills with earth vein fire is more effective than using human fire, and it doesn't require consuming one's own power or spirit stones.

Of course, refining pills with the fire of the earth veins also has its drawbacks, namely that the location is fixed and cannot be moved.

Beneath the pill valley of the Qingyun Sword Sect lies a source of earth vein fire.

The second type of earth fire is the flames from underground, which, after thousands of years and various hardships, have acquired spirituality.

This kind of earth fire is called earth spirit fire.

Earth Spirit Fire is more powerful than Earth Vein Fire when used for alchemy, and it can be carried around without being restricted by location.

However, the Earth Spirit Fire is hidden deep underground and possesses spirituality, making it extremely sensitive to danger.

Therefore, obtaining the Earth Spirit Fire is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

The third type of flame, Heavenly Fire, is the highest level of flame.

The formation process of celestial fire is the same as that of terrestrial fire.

The difference is that heavenly fire is more powerful than earthly fire.

Of course, the Heavenly Fire is hidden in the void, making it even more difficult to find, and it is almost a once-in-ten-thousand-years occurrence.

Actually, there is also celestial fire that is easy to find, which is inside the sun. There is definitely celestial fire there, but ordinary people can't get there at all.

Having said all that, for Chu Yunfan at the moment, the only things he can achieve are human fire and earth vein fire.

The earth vein fire resides within the sect, so we'll leave that aside for now.

Of the remaining fires, the spirit stone fire was too wasteful of spirit stones, so Chu Yunfan ruled it out first.

That leaves only the option of using alchemical fire.

"Master Volcano said that although my fire attribute is not prominent, my overall five elements attributes are relatively strong."

From this perspective, my fire attribute talent isn't actually that bad.

"I'll give it a try first; I should be able to cultivate the Elixir Flame!"

With that in mind, Chu Yunfan decided to give it a try.

However, at that moment, his fishing rod began to make a sound.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan opened his eyes, intending to resolve the matter of the Silver Spirit Fish first.

However, just as Chu Yunfan reached out and grabbed the fishing rod beside him, preparing to exert force...

A hidden arrow suddenly came from behind him.
