Du Yumei suddenly felt inferior.
She never expected that Lin Caogen's background was so strong, that he actually had an elder brother whose cultivation level was at the Immortal Venerable level.
Although I have nine Earth-rank Immortal Roots, and I will definitely be able to break through to the Immortal Venerable level if I don't die in the future, that is on the premise of not dying!
There are quite a few elites who perish on the path of cultivation.
He originally thought that having a father who was at the Core Formation stage was already an immense honor, but Lin Caogen's elder brother turned out to be a Celestial Venerable.
Above the Core Formation stage is the Nascent Soul stage, also known as the Immortal Spirit stage.
Above the Immortal Spirits are the Immortal Kings, above the Immortal Kings are the Immortal Emperors, above the Immortal Emperors are the Immortal Sects, and above the Immortal Sects are the Immortal Venerables!
Each level is difficult to surpass.
Song Qingshu cultivated for 700 years, but remained stuck at the peak of the Qi Condensation stage, unable to break through to the Core Formation stage. This is a living example.
Du Yumei suddenly spoke softly, "Senior Brother Grassroots, am I not good enough for you?"
Lin Caogen blushed slightly and said, "What are you saying, Xiaoyu! With your nine Earth-rank Immortal Roots, you will eventually reach the strength of an Immortal Venerable and have a lifespan of tens of thousands of years. Your future is limitless."
Du Yumei chuckled and said, "Grassroots Senior Brother, if you become an Immortal Emperor in the future, I will be a concubine in your harem."
Looking at the eighteen-year-old girl before him, Lin Caogen felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He said, "Junior Sister, let's go check on Song Qingshu! He doesn't seem to be dead yet!"
The two walked up to Song Qingshu and saw that he was completely black. He had already been poisoned by six or seven kinds of poisons from Du Yumei's Po Yuan Needle, and then he inhaled poisonous smoke. Finally, he was kicked away by a member of the Demonic Sect. At this moment, he was spitting out black blood and was on the verge of death.
Song Qingshu barely opened his eyes. Having consumed the essence of immortal beasts for many years, his body was exceptionally strong! Despite being deeply poisoned, he was still alive! He managed to say with difficulty, "Junior brother, junior sister, save me!"
Du Yumei spoke up, "Senior Brother Caogen, what do you think we should do with him?"
Lin Caogen sighed and said, "Let him fend for himself here! No one else should know that I possess the Black Gold Armor, or it could bring endless trouble. Junior Sister, I've obtained the spatial rings from those three members of the Demonic Sect. Let's go check out the spoils!"
Du Yumei nodded and obediently followed behind Lin Caogen.
Enraged, Song Qingshu roared, "Lin Caogen, you'll die a horrible death!!!"
Unexpectedly, Song Qingshu died on the spot from the poison.
Lin Caogen and Du Yumei found a relatively safe spot in the misty forest, sprinkled sulfur powder around the area to mask the human scent, and then began to count their spoils.
Since the owner of the spatial ring is dead, the ring has naturally become ownerless. It can be reclaimed by a drop of blood.
Lin Caogen pricked his fingertip, dripping blood onto the three spatial rings. He then emptied all the items from the rings.
Du Yumei covered her mouth, her expression one of disbelief.
These spoils are simply too abundant. There's a whole pile of Immortal Yuan Coins, roughly estimated to be over ten thousand.
There are hundreds of items, including various medicinal herbs, elixirs, weapons, and talismans.
Lin Caogen put away the metal-attribute immortal herbs he needed, and gave the rest of the water-attribute immortal herbs and pills to Du Yumei. Then he divided the immortal coins in two, and the two of them took a portion.
Du Yumei said embarrassedly, "Senior Brother Caogen, I've already dragged you down by coming out with you this time, how can I accept your spoils of war?"
Lin Caogen smiled slightly and said, "Why should we distinguish between each other?"
Du Yumei felt a warmth in her heart and immediately fell into Lin Caogen's arms.
Lin Caogen felt an overwhelming tenderness in this moment and wanted to undress Du Yumei on the spot. However, the Misty Forest was fraught with danger, and all kinds of ferocious beasts were rushing towards them, drawn by the smell of blood. After all, the explosion of Sha Tongtian's inner core had blasted away the flesh and blood of a Core Formation cultivator, and for wild beasts, the flesh of a Core Formation cultivator was more delicious.
Lin Caogen took Du Yumei's hand and said, "Junior sister, we shouldn't stay here any longer. Although there are many treasures here, our strength is too weak. Let's wait until we reach the Core Formation stage before coming back!"
Du Yumei obediently let Lin Caogen pull her hand and run towards the edge of the forest.
The place Song Qingshu brought them to was only the outer edge of the Misty Forest. It was said that in the deepest part, there were even peak-stage third-tier immortal beasts. Even Yun Hai, the sect leader of the Wuwei Sect, wouldn't dare provoke those kinds of beasts.
A man and a woman walked hand in hand out of the misty forest and arrived at the place where they tied their horses.
Indeed, outdoor excursions and adventures are the best way to bring couples together.
After their trip to the Misty Forest, Lin Caogen not only managed to get Du Yumei's first kiss, but they even held hands. It's likely that in the future, no matter what unreasonable demands Lin Caogen makes, Du Yumei will shyly agree and not resist.
The two arrived at the place where the horses were tied up, and it was already dark.
Du Yumei spoke up, "Senior Brother Caogen, it's already dark, what should we do?"
Lin Caogen looked around and said, "This place is far from the Misty Forest, so it's relatively safe. It's not good to travel in the dark, so let's camp by the river for the night!"
Du Yumei nodded somewhat fearfully. She hadn't dared to move when Lin Caogen held her tightly and kissed her, terrified of being discovered by the three members of the demonic sect. The tense and exciting feeling lingered for days. Now it was dark, and she was going camping with Lin Caogen. There were no wild animals around, so she had no worries. But if Lin Caogen wanted her to do something embarrassing, she wasn't even sure if she would resist.
Lin Caogen didn't notice Du Yumei's little scheme. He said, "Junior sister, I'll go to the river and catch a couple of fish in the dark to grill and eat! Wait for me here!"
Du Yumei nodded obediently, her white cheongsam appearing exceptionally graceful in the moonlight.
