On December 26, Lin Caogen finally returned to his sect.
Returning to his sect this time, he was filled with excitement! He had gone to the Misty Forest, where he not only deciphered the secrets of the animal hide map and learned the secret technique of lightning and fire fusion, but also obtained the Azure Lotus Fire Soul and a pill furnace. This extraordinary encounter laid the foundation for him to become a great alchemist in the future.
Just as they were about to return to Xiaozhufeng, Du Yumei suddenly ran towards Lin Caogen.
Seeing a beautiful woman in a cheongsam and high heels running towards him, Lin Caogen assumed that the eighteen-year-old girl missed him!
He pulled Du Yumei into his arms.
The delicate beauty in his arms said urgently, "Senior Brother Caogen, Niu Gao is going to block your way! He has already broken through to the Qi Condensation stage! And he's not the only one there, many disciples from Dazhu Peak are there too."
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "So what! With my current strength, I have nothing to fear from them."
Du Yumei cried, "Elder Niu Chongtian from Dazhu Peak personally came to my house to propose marriage, and now my father has agreed! The wedding will be held next February. If I don't agree, I'm afraid Niu Chongtian will kill my whole family! He is a master at the seventh level of the Core Formation stage."
Lin Caogen calmly said, "Yu Mei, don't panic! Niu Chongtian is only a seventh-level Core Formation cultivator! If Fu Yunxuan is willing to help, her current sixth-level Core Formation cultivation is enough to keep Niu Chongtian in check."
Du Yumei calmed down a bit and slowly said, "It's just that my strength is too weak to protect myself! But Sister Fu likes you very much! Will she stand up for me?"
Lin Caogen said decisively, "She definitely will! Besides, I have other methods. If all else fails, I can ask Brother Wolf for help!"
Du Yumei was taken aback; she had no idea who the "wolf brother" Lin Caogen was talking about was!
Lin Caogen sighed, thinking to himself, "It's a pity that human cultivators can all attack from a distance! Once the opponent releases their immortal energy, I have no chance to get close! My swordsmanship can only be used to anticipate the enemy's moves and catch them off guard in close combat. However, if the opponent launches a ranged attack to suppress me, I'm afraid I'll be seriously injured before I can even strike. Ranged combat is a major disadvantage for me!"
However, Lin Caogen also has his own advantages. His defense is exceptionally strong; after cultivating the Golden Bell Shield, especially the Vajra Indestructible Divine Technique, his body is extremely resilient. When his opponent's immortal energy is nearly depleted and they are unable to launch ranged attacks, that will be Lin Caogen's opportunity!
In particular, Lin Caogen gained the approval of the Azure Lotus Fire Soul through the vibration frequency! His defense and attack power were both enhanced. If Lin Caogen were occasionally given a chance to engage in close combat, his opponent would likely face certain death.
Lin Caogen was no longer afraid of anyone on the Three Rings Continent! At worst, he could use the Black Gold Armor to escape first and then go find Wolverine for help.
He took Du Yumei's hand and walked directly towards Xiaozhu Peak.
Seeing this, the surrounding disciples exclaimed, "This Junior Brother Lin Caogen from Little Bamboo Peak is truly fearless!"
One of the disciples chuckled and said, "Nonsense! Lin Caogen is the first place winner in this hunting competition! I heard it was all thanks to his girlfriend from the Brahma Valley! His girlfriend is none other than Fu Yunxuan, the Holy Maiden of the Brahma Valley!"
"Wow! That works! Look, Lin Caogen is still holding Du Yumei's hand! I heard this girl is only eighteen or nineteen years old. Look how beautiful she looks in her cheongsam!"
During the twenty-odd days that Lin Caogen went to the Misty Forest to retrieve the Azure Lotus Fire Soul, the fact that his girlfriend was Fu Yunxuan from the Brahma Valley had become common knowledge throughout the entire clan.
Arriving at the bamboo forest path, the only way to Xiaozhu Peak, Niu Gao and more than twenty fellow disciples were blocking the way.
Seeing Lin Caogen approaching, still holding Du Yumei's hand, Niu Gao roared in fury, "You beast, stop!"
Lin Caogen smiled and said, "What's wrong, Niu Gao? You're not convinced? You want to have a duel ahead of schedule?"
Niu Gao was quite wary of Lin Caogen at this moment. His wariness wasn't of Lin Caogen's strength, but rather of Lin Caogen's girlfriend, Fu Yunxuan!
He had just broken through to the Qi Condensation stage during his seclusion when he overheard people in the sect discussing how remarkable Lin Caogen's girlfriend was.
Niu Gao thought everyone was talking about his fiancée, Du Yumei, but after inquiring carefully, he found out that Lin Caogen's girlfriend was actually Fu Yunxuan from Fanyin Valley!
I heard that Fu Yunxuan is now at the sixth level of the Core Formation stage, and her equipment is excellent. Her combat power is probably no less than that of her father, Niu Chongtian!
Lin Caogen is just a bit handsome, yet Fu Yunxuan was willing to kill over a hundred third-tier immortal beasts for him and give their cores to him. It's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung!
Niu Gao angrily retorted, "Boy! This is the Wuwei Sect, not the Brahma Valley! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have Fu Yunxuan backing you up! You're nothing but her kept man!"
Lin Caogen sneered, "The martial arts competition is scheduled for the three-day New Year's holiday! Are you trying to come and die early?!"
Niu Gao said, "Kid! Do you still remember the martial arts competition? The fake sect leader and other elders are going to participate in the martial arts tournament over the three days of New Year's Day. How about we sign a life-or-death agreement and decide who lives and dies on the dueling stage?"
Lin Caogen said calmly, "Fine! I'll kill you while your father's away!"
Niu Gao, enraged, laughed and said, "Do you know that I have entered the Meridian Condensation stage! Now my immortal essence can be quickly mobilized along my meridians, and I no longer need to transfer it cell by cell! When I cast a spell, my speed is as fast as lightning. Can you stop me?"
Lin Caogen said with a faint smile, "You are nothing but people who are waiting to die! Since you want to die, I will grant your wish! See you at the dueling arena on January 2nd. Now, please get out of my way!"
Niu Gao roared, "Fine! I'll let you live a few more days, you piece of trash! On January 2nd, we'll settle this on the dueling platform, a matter of life and death! But now, you must let go of my fiancée's hand!"
Lin Caogen ignored Niu Gao and simply said, "I heard you had your father propose marriage? Very good! Very good! Congratulations on your successful proposal, but I will marry Du Yumei after you die."
