Lin Caogen looked at the three men and four women standing in front of him with a highly vigilant expression.
All seven people were wearing spatial rings. The three men and four women were all quite good-looking, with one woman being the most beautiful. She had long, flowing hair, a curvaceous figure, and wore a black robe, exuding an imposing aura.
Du Yumei breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the seven people. She cupped her hands and said, "So you are the senior brothers and sisters of Fanyin Valley. I am Du Yumei, a newly initiated disciple of Wuwei Sect. This is my newly initiated senior brother, Lin Caogen. Greetings to all senior brothers and sisters."
Lin Caogen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Du Yumei's words. He was unfamiliar with the Immortal Continent, but Du Yumei recognized the seven young men by the marks on their foreheads—they were disciples of the Brahma Valley, the strongest sect in the Ziwei District of the Three Rings Continent.
The beautiful woman at the head of the group looked at the three horses tied to a tree nearby and pondered for a moment before saying, "You two are disciples of the Wuwei Sect? You dare to come here without even reaching the first star of the Body Refinement stage?"
Lin Caogen hurriedly said, "It was Senior Brother Song Qingshu who brought us here. He went into the Misty Forest to kill the immortal beasts himself and told us to wait outside."
The woman pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Song Qingshu? Never heard of him! I ask you two, how long have you been here? Have you seen anyone else come here?"
Lin Caogen hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's just me and my junior sister. We've only been here for a day."
The woman suddenly said angrily, "Your Wuwu Sect is one of the top 100 sects, but your senior brother is far too irresponsible. You two are new to the sect and don't even know how to protect yourselves. Bringing you to this desolate wilderness, although it's relatively safe outside the Misty Forest, would have unimaginable consequences if you had encountered members of the Demonic Sect!"
A man beside the woman said, "Senior sister! We have important matters to attend to! Do you want to..."
The woman said in a deep voice, "Take these two with you! What if they get kidnapped by the Demonic Sect?"
The man said speechlessly, "Senior sister, look at those two, they're not even at the first level of Body Refinement. Aren't they just a burden to us?"
The woman in black robes said in a deep voice, "I will take responsibility for the safety of these two!"
After saying this, the woman in black robes exuded an imposing aura, her robes fluttering, almost extinguishing the campfire beside her.
Du Yumei said, "Thank you, beautiful lady. May I ask your name?"
The woman in black looked at Du Yumei, who was dressed in a white cheongsam, and said, "My name is Fu Yunxuan. Little sister, you are so naturally beautiful. It is too dangerous for you to stay here. You two should come with me!"
Du Yumei exclaimed in surprise, "So you're Fu Yunxuan, sister? Seeing is believing, and I'm so glad to finally meet you today! You're so beautiful!"
Fu Yunxuan laughed and said, "What? Am I that famous?"
Du Yumei said, "Of course! I've heard my family tell you your story since I was little! You enter the Condensation Stage after thirty years of cultivation and form the Core Formation Stage after one hundred years. Now you should only be 200 years old and in your prime. I heard that you have already reached the fifth level of the Core Formation Stage."
Fu Yunxuan smiled and said, "It's all thanks to the sect's full efforts in nurturing you! Little sister, what's your name, and what are your immortal roots like?"
Du Yumei said, "Sister Yunxuan, my name is Du Yumei, and I have nine Earth-rank Immortal Roots!"
Fu Yunxuan and the others around her asked in disbelief, "My sister actually has nine Earth-rank Immortal Roots? Her talent is the same as mine? Then why doesn't she come to my Brahma Sound Valley?"
The other six disciples of Brahma Valley also widened their eyes. For thousands of years, the most talented disciples have generally gone to major sects like Brahma Valley, and they have never heard of anyone going to a low-ranking sect like the Wuwei Sect.
Du Yumei smiled and said, "My father, Du Ruhui, is a disciple of the Wuwei Sect. Joining the Wuwei Sect was also my father's wish."
Fu Yunxuan said, "I see. But the Wuwei Sect's cultivation techniques and immortal arts are not top-notch, which may have hindered you. When we return to the valley this time, I will explain the situation to my master and ask him to negotiate with the Wuwei Sect. How about we let you transfer to the Brahma Sound Valley?"
Du Yumei thanked her and said, "Thank you for your concern, sister. We'll discuss this matter when the time is right!"
Fu Yunxuan looked at the others and said, "Fellow junior brothers and sisters, we will rest here by the river tonight and enter the depths of the Misty Forest tomorrow. Everyone will take turns on night watch. The junior brothers and sisters of the Wuwei Sect are too weak in cultivation and do not need to participate in the night watch!"
The other disciples of Brahma Valley nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Senior Sister!"
Lin Caogen secretly observed Fu Yunxuan and felt that this woman was not only beautiful, but also had a kind of chivalrous spirit, as if she were the leader of a gang in the underworld.
This Fu Yunxuan is so young, yet she already has the cultivation level of the fifth star of the Core Formation stage. If she advances one more star, she can stop being a disciple and become a sect steward. If she reaches the seventh star of the Core Formation stage, she will basically be at the level of a sect elder.
The fifth level of Core Formation is a watershed moment. Some cultivators have cultivated to the fourth level of Core Formation for thousands of years without making any further progress.
Dark clouds obscured the moon, and night fell. Lin Caogen lay on the grass, watching Fu Yunxuan on her first night watch not far away, and couldn't help but feel a little unsettled.
All four female disciples of the Brahma Valley were beautiful, but Fu Yunxuan stood out the most. She carried a black longsword at her waist, wore a black robe, and black boots, exuding a mature feminine charm.
It was as if Fu Yunxuan's presence alone could give everyone around her a sense of security.
Du Yumei was already fast asleep.
Lin Caogen originally wanted to spend the night in tender affection with Du Yumei, but every time he had such thoughts, he was unexpectedly interrupted.
The sky was gradually brightening, and the air was slightly cool.
The seven people from Fanyin Valley and the two from Wuwei Sect had finished washing up and getting dressed.
Fu Yunxuan looked at Lin Caogen and Du Yumei and said, "Your senior brother didn't come out of the Misty Forest to check on you all night. If he died in there, it would be understandable. But if he survived, it would be irresponsible of you two. You two should come into the forest with us! There may be some good fortune inside, and you can share in it."
