Yunhai was quite adept at handling people! Not wanting to offend the ten sect leaders, he said, "Gentlemen, since the martial arts competition is scheduled for 3 PM, there's still plenty of time. How about we quickly go to Baihualou for a light meal? I've prepared some fine wine aged for a thousand years for everyone!"
Hei Cang'er, the leader of the Bai Cang Sect, said, "Of course, of course! Since Leader Yun is so kind, how can we not give Leader Yun this face!"
After saying that, Hei Cang Er led the way and followed Yun Hai to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion for a banquet.
Lin Caogen then led Mu Wanqing, Fu Yunxuan, and Du Yumei to the sect's dining hall, found a good private room, and ordered four dishes: braised pork, stir-fried river shrimp with chives, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and stir-fried potatoes, green peppers, and eggplant. Finally, they also ordered a bowl of ginseng and black chicken soup!
The dishes were simple, but it was a family reunion dinner!
Lin Caogen exclaimed with emotion, "After being away from home for ten years, I can finally taste the flavors of home today!"
Fu Yunxuan said with concern, "Grassroots! Yu Renjie is at the peak of the 6th level of the Core Formation stage! Although your cultivation has progressed extremely quickly and you have already reached the peak of the 9th level of the Body Refinement stage, there is still no one in the world who can cross two major levels to fight! I'm worried about you!"
Lin Caogen said gently, "Don't worry, Yunxuan! I'm not the same person I used to be! Even if I can't beat Yu Renjie, I still have ways to protect myself!"
Indeed, the black-gold armor around Lin Caogen's waist was fully charged and could be used for another three minutes without any problem! Moreover, Lin Caogen also possessed a celestial abode, which he could instantly hide inside. In addition, with the Thunderfire Pearl within his body, he had an endless array of ways to protect himself.
Mu Wanqing said, "Yu Renjie's cultivation is now comparable to mine! I've been sparring with Caogen these past few days. In a head-on fight, I'm no match for Caogen. But if it comes to ranged attacks, I'm afraid Caogen's physical body won't be able to withstand a single blow from a peak 6-star Core Formation cultivator. Just looking at his physical defense, I think he's still lacking! As for his dodging speed, although Caogen's Ghost Shadow Steps have improved a lot, he'll still inevitably get hit when faced with a desperate attack from a peak 6-star Core Formation expert."
Fu Yunxuan said, "Caogen, while you were away, I bought you a set of clothes and shoes! This outfit is called the Golden Silk Armor! It can reduce the damage from a Core Formation cultivator's full-force attack by about 10%! The higher the cultivator's cultivation level, the weaker the damage reduction effect; the lower the enemy's cultivation level, the better the damage reduction effect! You can wear this outfit under your coat, so it won't be noticeable under normal circumstances. Try it on!"
After saying that, Fu Yunxuan took out the Golden Silk Armor from her spatial ring. The Golden Silk Armor was exquisitely crafted and was just a small vest! However, the armor was emitting a golden light of array!
Mu Wanqing said, "This soft armor is made of golden silkworm silk, which already has considerable defensive power. Now, with the formation engraved on the armor, its effect is even stronger! This armor is probably not cheap. Miss Yunxuan is very thoughtful!"
Fu Yunxuan said, "I saved up money over the past ten years to buy it! My cultivation level is relatively weak, so having a piece of armor for self-defense makes me feel more at ease!"
At this moment, Fu Yunxuan already looked every bit the virtuous wife and loving mother!
Mu Wanqing sighed softly and fell silent.
Fu Yunxuan said, "Grassroots, try it on and see if it fits!"
Lin Caogen felt a warmth in his heart. He stood up and put the soft armor under his coat, finding it to fit perfectly! He couldn't find clothes that fit him so well, not even when he went shopping!
"Yunxuan, thank you so much! You're so kind to me!"
Lin Caogen held Yunxuan's small hand tightly, unwilling to let go for a long time!
Mu Wanqing said, "Now that you're the emperor, you have new clothes! These really are the emperor's new clothes!"
Lin Caogen chuckled and said, "Wanqing, you actually joked about the Andersen fairy tales I told you!"
Du Yumei said, "Does Brother Grassroots still tell Sister Mu fairy tales? I've never heard you tell any!"
Lin Caogen said, "I'll tell you later when we sleep together!"
Du Yumei blushed, stopped talking, and began to eat her food with her head down.
Fu Yunxuan continued, "Grassroots, try these elastic shoes! These shoes are made from the skin of a golden mantis. As everyone knows, mantises have extremely strong jumping ability! Shoes made from their skin can also enhance jumping ability. I also had a formation master inscribe formations on them! Give them a try!"
After saying that, Fu Yunxuan took out a pair of black running shoes!
The shoes emitted a faint black light! They were covered in mysterious array patterns!
Lin Caogen was deeply moved and was about to stand up to change his shoes!
Fu Yunxuan said, "Don't move, let me help you!"
After saying that, Fu Yunxuan knelt down in the private room and helped Lin Caogen change his black elastic shoes!
Lin Caogen stood up, took a couple of steps, and said, "So comfortable! These shoes really do enhance jumping ability! I feel so much more relaxed walking in them!"
Fu Yunxuan said, "The path of mortals cultivating immortality is already fraught with difficulties. Without the aid of equipment, how can they survive in the treacherous immortal realm!"
Mu Wanqing said, "Grassroots people are already lacking in defense and agility! Now that I have these two pieces of equipment, I feel much more at ease! Defense will increase by about 10%, and agility will also increase by about 10%. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to defeat Yu Renjie!"
Lin Caogen said, "My greatest gain from all this cultivation is not my martial arts skills, but you three soulmates! I am truly the happiest person in the world!"
Fu Yunxuan and Du Yumei smiled!
Mu Wanqing then said, "You've forgotten about two people! When do you plan to bring back Wu Meiniang and Bai Su from the Fragment Continent?"
Lin Caogen chuckled awkwardly, "How can we respond? The entire continent is shrouded in an array; without the strength of a Celestial Venerable, it's impossible to dispel the array on that fragment of the continent!"
