Chapter 117 Proposing Marriage to Nangong Wan
Inside the cave, a voice read, "Congratulations, Martial Uncle, on achieving the Golden Core stage! Immortality is within reach!"
Han Li and Zhang Tiegang exchanged a glance and stood up to greet Lin Yue as he emerged from seclusion and entered the cave hall.
"roll"!
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue's smile froze, and he blurted out.
"Pfft!"
Seeing this, Xin Ruyin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The three sisters, Mo Fengwu, Mo Yuzhu, and Mo Caihuan, couldn't help but smile.
"Hehe, now that you've successfully formed your core, what are your plans next?"
Han Li chuckled, showing no anger at Lin Yue's attitude.
I'll still address you as Senior Brother as always; I was just joking earlier.
"Nothing much. The invasion by the six demonic sects has probably already begun. Has the invitation from the Yan family fortress arrived yet?"
Lin Yue shook his head, sat down next to Xin Ruyin, and asked.
"Of course it's been delivered. When does Senior Brother plan to head to Yan Family Fortress?"
Zhang Tie took out the invitation from Yan Family Fort and handed it to Lin Yue, saying...
"It'll only take a few days! Just enough to appease the sect leader and a few senior brothers and sisters. After all, I've reached the Core Formation stage."
Lin Yue accepted the invitation from Yan Family Fortress and said...
For any sect, having a Foundation Establishment cultivator reach the Core Formation stage is undoubtedly a great joy. The more Foundation Establishment cultivators there are, the more resources the sect gains, and the stronger it becomes.
Not to mention, Lin Yue formed his core before the age of a hundred, and is even less than thirty years old now. He is a genius and a prodigy in the entire Tiannan cultivation world.
Regardless of the circumstances, the chance of him condensing his Nascent Soul and advancing to the Nascent Soul stage in the future surpasses that of any Core Formation stage cultivator in Yellow Maple Valley.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Huangfeng Valley attaches great importance to this!
After all, Linghu Laoguai of Huangfeng Valley doesn't have much lifespan left, at most a hundred or two hundred years.
The emergence of a cultivation genius who reaches the Core Formation stage at less than a hundred years old, or even fifty, is an absolutely joyous occasion.
Therefore, Lin Yue has nothing to worry about. Even if Linghu Laoguai covets the opportunities he has, he has enough strength to deal with him.
Moreover, Linghu Laoguai must have lost his mind to attack him.
"What Senior Brother says is absolutely right, but in that case, Senior Brother's Golden Core Assembly might be canceled," Han Li said with some regret.
After all, you can get a lot of good stuff from this.
"What's gone is gone. Right now, the invasion of the demonic path is the most important thing. However, I have now formed my core, so as long as it's not the Nascent Soul cultivators from the six major demonic sects who make a move, there won't be any problems. I'm safer than before, so there's no need to worry too much. Just focus on cultivating and dealing with it."
Lin Yue smiled nonchalantly.
"Yes! Senior Brother is right."
Zhang Tie echoed.
He always listened to Lin Yue's words and trusted him completely.
"Please help me welcome the sect leader and the others in! I've already reached the Core Formation stage, so I'm sure Uncle Linghu and the sect will give me some good things."
Lin Yue then gave further instructions.
At this moment, Sect Leader Zhong of Huangfeng Valley, seven or eight managers of Huangfeng Valley, as well as two Core Formation stage cultivators, Li Huayuan and Lei Wanhe, and other important figures of Huangfeng Valley, all gathered outside his cave.
Now that Han Li and Zhang Tie have arrived, the task of welcoming them is naturally left to the two of them, so Xin Ruyin and the three sisters Mo Yuzhu don't need to show their faces.
"it is good."
Upon hearing this, Han Li and Zhang Tie stood up and agreed with smiles.
"That's troublesome."
Lin Yue smiled slightly.
"You're too kind, Senior Brother."
Han Li shook his head and smiled. Then, he and Zhang Tie headed out of the cave.
"Yuzhu, Fengwu, Caihuan, you can leave this to Ruyin. You all need to step aside."
After the two left the hall, Lin Yue gave instructions to the three sisters, Mo Fengwu and Mo Fengwu.
"Yes, (husband) senior brother."
Seeing this, the three sisters naturally had no objections. After all, their exceptional talents could easily cause unnecessary trouble and problems.
Although Lin Yue's current status is sufficient to handle it, it is still troublesome after all.
After saying that, the three sisters left the hall, leaving only Lin Yue and his Daoist partner Xin Ruyin in the hall.
"Ruyin, is the formation situation resolved?"
Lin Yue then brought up the most important matter.
"Everything has been arranged. My husband is free to leave whenever he wishes."
Xin Ruyin smiled and said.
"Leaving might not be an option for now."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue, who had breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head again and said helplessly.
Han Li and Zhang Tie collected Buddhist statues and paintings, but not many of them contained the power of the wishes of sentient beings. Out of thousands of Buddhist statues, paintings, clay figures, and wooden carvings, only five or six contained a little bit of the power of the wishes of sentient beings, which was far from enough to meet the requirements for opening the second sea of consciousness.
Therefore, to open the second sea of consciousness, one still needs to collect the energy of war and slaughter. With the invasion of the six demonic sects and the imminent great battle, this is an excellent opportunity.
"Alright, we'll talk about this later. Here it comes."
Lin Yue continued.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tie and Han Li led Sect Leader Zhong, Li Huayuan, and Lei Wanhe into the cave hall, while the other managers of Huangfeng Valley all stayed outside.
"Greetings, Uncle-Master Lin! This is Uncle-Master Lei Wanhe, and this is Uncle-Master Li Huayuan."
While bowing, Sect Leader Zhong did not forget to introduce Li Huayuan and Lei Wanhe.
Li Huayuan and Lin Yue had met, but Lei Wanhe was the fattest person he had ever seen.
The man's eyes were squeezed into two thin slits, and the flesh hanging from his chin was layered upon layered, its thickness unknown. His waist, as thick as a giant barrel, made it hard to breathe. One could imagine just how fat he was. At this moment, upon seeing Lin Yue, Sect Leader Zhong's expression was incredibly complex.
After all, Lin Yue had once asked him for the "Eternal Spring Skill" technique, but now he had already advanced to the Core Formation stage ahead of him.
Such a terrifying cultivation speed is unparalleled in the entire Tiannan cultivation world.
"You're too kind, Sect Leader. Please have a seat, Senior Brothers."
Lin Yue stood up and chuckled softly.
"Ruyin, serve tea to the sect leader and your two senior brothers."
"Yes, my husband."
Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin curtsied and said respectfully.
"This must be Junior Sister Ruyin. Consider this a top-tier magic artifact as a gift for our first meeting!"
Lei Wanhe, the big fat man, patted his storage bag and happily took out a top-grade red brocade handkerchief-shaped magic artifact, which he handed to Xin Ruyin.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lei."
Xin Ruyin bowed and thanked her.
Seeing this, Li Huayuan also took out a top-tier magic artifact and gave it to Xin Ruyin, while Sect Leader Zhong received three mid-to-low-tier talismans.
"I heard from the sect leader that Junior Brother has only been a disciple for less than ten years, yet he has already successfully formed his core. This truly puts us both to shame. He will surely be able to successfully form his nascent soul in the future. I congratulate him in advance."
Lei Wanhe cupped his hands in greeting.
Less than ten years after Lin Yue was accepted as a disciple by Master Zhong, he and Li Huayuan were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.
After all, such a cultivation speed was indeed beyond their comprehension.
"Senior Brother Lei, you flatter me. I was just lucky to obtain a few pills that could help with Core Formation, so I decided to give it a try. I never expected that I would actually succeed in forming my Core. To be honest, I still feel like I'm dreaming."
Lin Yue shook his head and chuckled.
"In any case, Junior Brother Lin's ability to condense his Golden Core is a great thing for the entire sect. Not to mention, with the Tianluo Kingdom's demonic invasion imminent, if it weren't for Uncle-Master Linghu's trip to Cheqi Kingdom and Jiang Kingdom for assistance, he probably would have come personally to guide and reward Junior Brother." Li Huayuan added with a smile.
His eyes were full of envy. You must know that he had a talent second only to the Heavenly Spiritual Root, but even so, it took him more than a hundred years to finally condense his Golden Core and become a Core Formation stage cultivator.
But comparisons are odious. Lin Yue had only been an apprentice for less than ten years before successfully forming his core. The difference was so great that Lin Yue could only feel envious and had no other words to say.
"The demonic path has invaded, and Uncle-Master Linghu has gone to the Kingdom of Cheqi, with the Kingdom of Jiang offering assistance. What has happened?"
Lin Yue feigned surprise, saying that no matter how good the aptitude of a Foundation Establishment disciple like him was, Huangfeng Valley had never told him about the invasion of the six demonic sects.
Therefore, he could only pretend not to know and press the two of them for answers.
Seeing this, Li Huayuan, Lei Wanhe, and Sect Leader Zhong exchanged glances before Lei Wanhe finally spoke.
"Now that Junior Brother has already formed his core, and the demonic path has begun to invade Cheqi Kingdom and Jiang Kingdom, there is no need to hide this matter from Junior Brother."
Lei Wanhe then recounted how the six demonic sects of Tianluo Kingdom and the righteous alliance of Fengdu Kingdom had joined forces to invade the cultivation worlds of the various countries in between.
Hongfen told Lin Yue even more details than Hongfu, which shows that the seven sects have been quite busy over the years.
They found out so much, but the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect was seriously injured.
Clearly, it was the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Six Demonic Sects or the Righteous Alliance who did this, in order to prevent the alliance from being formed and thus delaying important matters for both the righteous and demonic paths.
After all, once an alliance is formed, even if it is just a loose and mutually supportive alliance, it will be more than ten times more difficult for both the righteous and demonic paths to deal with it.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to prevent it from forming. The only way to avoid the invasion of the six demonic sects is to form an alliance or to become a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
However, the former still has a sliver of hope, while the latter has none, especially given that the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect is seriously injured.
"I never imagined so many things would happen."
After hearing Lei Wanhe's words, Lin Yue's face turned extremely ugly.
"Yes! Now that Junior Brother has formed his Core, the sect has gained another pillar. However, since Junior Brother has just formed his Core, he hasn't yet refined a natal magic weapon. If a Core Formation cultivator doesn't have a natal magic weapon, their strength is at most half. How about this, I have a natal magic weapon here that once annihilated a powerful enemy. Its attributes are just right for Junior Brother. If Junior Brother doesn't mind, I'll give it to him as a congratulatory gift for Junior Brother's Core Formation."
Lei Wanhe gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with pain, and said in a deep voice.
This greatly surprised Lin Yue, Li Huayuan, Sect Leader Zhong, Xin Ruyin, Han Li, Zhang Tie, and the others.
This is a magical treasure! It's worth at least tens of thousands of spirit stones, and you just gave it away like that. Not everyone has that kind of boldness.
Li Huayuan looked extremely embarrassed. He only had one natal magic weapon, which he could not possibly give away. As for the other items, they were not of much use to Lin Yue.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Lei, but this magic treasure is far too valuable, and I am unworthy of it. Please take it back, Senior Brother. As for the magic treasure, please rest assured, Senior Brother, I do have one of my own."
As he spoke, Lin Yue took out the Green Radiance Sword, a Core Formation stage weapon from the Yu Ling Sect.
"So my junior brother already has a magic weapon. Although it's not his natal magic weapon, I can rest assured a lot."
Seeing the Green Radiance Sword in Lin Yue's hand, Lei Wanhe breathed a sigh of relief and didn't force it, but smiled.
"Yes! Although it's not my natal magic weapon, it's enough for me now. Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Lei."
Lin Yue sheathed the Green Radiance Sword and bowed in thanks.
"Junior Brother Lin, you're too kind," Lei Wanhe said with a smile, shaking his head.
"Now that you've just formed your core, there must be many things you don't understand yet. Since we're here, please feel free to ask. We'll tell you everything we know."
Li Huayuan then said with a smile.
"Then I thank you in advance, Senior Brother Li."
Lin Yue bowed and thanked him.
Then, he began to express his doubts and questions.
As promised, Lei Wanhe and Li Huayuan told him everything they knew.
After all, with Lin Yue's potential, as long as he doesn't perish, even if he doesn't reach the Nascent Soul stage, he should have no problem surpassing the two of them.
Therefore, the two naturally wanted to be on good terms with each other as much as possible.
Sect Leader Zhong and Xin Ruyin listened quietly to the conversation between the three.
Although the two have not yet formed their cores, there are still many benefits for them, so they naturally will not let go of this rare opportunity.
And so, after three or four hours, Lin Yue finally saw Lei Wanhe and Li Huayuan off, still feeling quite unsatisfied.
After seeing the two off, Lin Yue immediately inquired about Han Li's business.
"Junior Brother Han, has the Longevity Tree that I asked you to cultivate before your seclusion matured?"
Lin Yue encountered a sapling of a longevity tree at the Taiyuan Conference. It was about ten years old, and it would take at least tens of thousands of years to see it bear fruit.
Even so, there were still many cultivators competing for the position, especially the cultivation sects, which once raised the price to tens of thousands of spirit stones.
Therefore, Lin Yue, who failed to win the bid, had no choice but to take the risk and secretly seize it, which is why he was late for his appointment with Ghost Hunchback and the others.
However, he was able to form his core thanks to Liu Yu and Lady Qingya.
After seizing the two women's primordial yin essence at Xuanhuang Mountain, Lin Yue gave them many elixirs and medicines as compensation before leaving to return to the Taiyue Mountains to cultivate in seclusion and break through to the Core Formation stage.
I just wanted to give it a try, but I never expected it to actually work.
"It has been ripened artificially. This is the Longevity Yang Fruit, which can extend one's life by a hundred years."
Upon hearing Lin Yue's question, Han Li immediately took out a jade box with talismans affixed to it from his storage bag and handed it to Lin Yue with a smile.
He hadn't expected Lin Yue to obtain such a rare and precious seedling, so he had devoted almost all his energy to cultivating and ripening the Longevity Tree over the past year.
A month ago, it was ripe. Although only one seed had grown, as long as the Heavenly Bottle was there, he could have as many as he wanted.
"it is good."
Seeing this, Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief and put it into his storage bag. In this way, he could use it as a betrothal gift to propose to Nangong Wan.
That's right, Lin Yue plans to propose to Nangong Wan. How could he miss such a beautiful woman?
Otherwise, Lin Yue wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to obtain this longevity tree sapling.
This sacred tree of heaven and earth only produces one Longevity Netherworld Fruit every ten thousand years.
