Niu Gao's father was an elder of Dazhu Peak, whose cultivation had reached the seventh level of the Core Formation stage.
Niu Gao's father, Niu Chongtian, possessed extraordinary combat power, which was not weak even in the entire Three Rings Continent.
Many people mistakenly believe that the Wuwei Sect is only one of the top 100 sects and therefore has weak overall combat power. That is a big misconception.
The Wuwei Sect is an ancient sect that has been passed down for millions of years. It has an extremely profound foundation, and the strength of its elders, sect leader, and enshrined members is second to none in the entire Three Rings Continent.
However, no one has been able to successfully cultivate the strongest technique for the Qi Condensation stage of the Wuwei Sect, which has resulted in no exceptionally talented disciples being willing to come to the sect to learn it.
Millions of years have passed, and talent has dwindled, so the strength of the disciples of the Wuwei Sect is naturally not very strong.
The ranking battle among the top 100 sects is based on disciples, not masters!
Therefore, it is certain that the disciples of the Wuwei Sect are weak in combat, but the strength of the elders, enshrined elders, and the sect leader is not to be underestimated by the Brahma Valley.
Elder Niu Chongtian of Dazhu Peak only had one son, Niu Gao, whom he doted on. This, in turn, led to his son's numerous misdeeds.
For the past century, Niu Gao has humiliated a newly initiated female disciple almost every year under the guise of friendship.
Of course, those who were humiliated by Niu Gao were mostly outer disciples. These female outer disciples had average talent and were not valued. Some teachers in the outer sect would avoid Niu Gao, let alone the disciples who were of even lower status.
When Du Yumei revealed her nine Earth-rank Immortal Roots, she immediately attracted the attention of the Sect Leader and the Peak Masters of Xiaozhu Peak and Lengyue Peak. Therefore, Niu Gao did not dare to force himself on Du Yumei.
Seeing Lin Caogen and Du Yumei getting close, he originally wanted to cripple Lin Caogen, but Lin Caogen possessed a Heavenly Rank Immortal Root and was now a key protected individual within the sect. He dared not act rashly.
It wasn't until the National Day Golden Week holiday that Niu Gao heard from his junior classmates that Lin Caogen had taken Du Yumei to the countryside for three to five days. This angered Niu Gao.
The two went to the wilderness for three to five days, and their innocence may be in jeopardy.
However, when Niu Gao saw Du Yumei go out to practice breathing exercises this morning, he observed that her legs were straight and her complexion was not flushed, so he concluded that she was still innocent. Therefore, he finally felt relieved.
However, the thought that Lin Caogen had taken Du Yumei to the countryside and might have already made advances, touching and hugging her, filled Niu Gao with uncontrollable rage.
Watching Lin Caogen leave without looking back, Niu Gao grabbed a nearby pile of pebbles and crushed it into powder.
Niu Gao went straight up to Dazhu Peak, found his father, and said, "Father! I want to get married. Quickly send me betrothal gifts and propose marriage."
Niu Chongtian was taken aback, then said unhappily, "You are my son! How many times have I told you not to go looking for ordinary women? You just won't listen!"
Niu Gao said with a forced smile, "Father! I've made up my mind this time, I'm going to marry Du Yumei from Xiaozhu Peak!"
Niu Chongtian was taken aback, then slowly said, "Du Yumei! That's Du Ruhui's daughter. Back then, Du Ruhui was considered one of the most talented disciples of my Wuwei Sect! It's just a pity that his immortal roots were damaged in the battle against the evil demons, and his strength is no longer what it used to be. Du Yumei is barely qualified to be my daughter-in-law. You are indeed at the age to settle down and start a family. Very well! I will send the betrothal gifts to Xiaozhu Peak tomorrow."
Niu Gao was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, "Father! Du Yumei has quite a few suitors, one of whom is Lin Caogen, who has a Heavenly Rank Immortal Root. He challenged me to a duel on the martial arts stage in three months. I plan to cripple this brat in public! A public duel on the stage means even the sect leader can't say anything!"
Niu Chongtian stroked his beard and said, "Lin Caogen! This kid must die! I have received instructions from above to find a way to get my hands on Lin Caogen's corpse. With his corpse, we can refine the Living Root Pill."
Niu Gao was overjoyed and said, "Father, does that mean that after I ate the Revitalizing Root Pill, I can grow two more of my original seven Earth-rank Immortal Roots?"
Niu Chongtian nodded and said, "That's right! Lin Caogen possesses a Heaven-rank Immortal Root. Using his corpse to refine the Revitalizing Root Pill, we can probably refine at least a dozen pills. I have already discussed it with Elder Tong of the Holy Sect. When the Revitalizing Root Pill is refined, he will leave two for us."
Niu Gao grinned and said, "Alright! Father, three months from now, I'll kill this Lin Caogen on the dueling platform. Then we'll secretly smuggle his body out."
On Xiaozhu Peak, Du Yumei had already overheard her fellow disciples talking about what had happened that afternoon in the dining hall. She felt both happy and worried.
Lin Caogen was pleased that he publicly declared her to be his girlfriend, but worried because Niu Gao was Niu Chongtian's son. Even in his prime, his father couldn't withstand ten moves from Niu Chongtian. Niu Chongtian was a senior figure in the Wuwei Sect; with him backing his son, Lin Caogen's life would likely be very difficult.
Lin Caogen had no time to pay attention to Niu Gao's provocation. Ever since he killed three Core Formation stage experts from the Demonic Sect while wearing his black-gold armor, he had no regard for ordinary disciples in the sect. His immediate priority was to exchange for various elemental materials. He needed to cultivate the Golden Bell Shield technique while secretly practicing the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art. At the same time, he also needed to master the Vajra Finger Technique of the Wuwei Sect and the Vajra Sword Technique taught by the sect leader.
Upon arriving at the sect's night market, one finds it bustling with activity.
The Wuwei Sect has over 100,000 disciples, and every night some set up stalls at this night market to do small business.
Besides the disciples of the Wuwei Sect, many vendors here have become acquainted with the sect's gatekeepers and also set up stalls in the sect's night market.
Looking at the kilometer-long night market, Lin Caogen felt as if he had returned to Earth.
The night market was filled with shouts and calls from vendors selling various items, including immortal stones, cultivation techniques, immortal arts, herbs, five-element spirit stones, weapons, armor, pills, and mutton skewers.
