Lin Yu then continued searching the surrounding area, and this time he found several medicinal herbs that were over a hundred years old, and one that was over a thousand years old. However, these two things were insignificant to Lin Yu and were of no use to him.
Lin Yu wandered around for a long time but found nothing, so he gave up his plan to continue searching for treasure. After all, he was only a disciple in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, and even if he obtained a Heaven-level cultivation technique, he might not be able to master it. It would be better to return to the cave and cultivate in seclusion to improve his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
He returned to the cave, set up a protective barrier outside, and then entered the cave, where he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.
While circulating the Nine Yang True Scripture in the cave, Lin Yu also cultivated the Great Wilderness Technique and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill. He wanted to improve his strength as much as possible. He didn't expect to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, but at least he wanted to have a certain combat power. Then he would find a way to kill this guy in the middle Golden Core stage!
Time flies, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Yu's strength has improved considerably.
He has now mastered the Nine Yang Manual and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique to the seventh level, and is not far from the eighth level. As long as he has enough spiritual herbs to help him, he will be able to break through to the eighth level and enter the Nascent Soul Realm!
Lin Yu opened his eyes, stood up, walked to the cave entrance, and looked outside. He found that the sky was still covered with dark clouds, and there seemed to be no sunshine at all.
"No, I still have to go out and check. Otherwise, if I wait until tomorrow, there will probably be a lot of Golden Core stage venomous snakes running around nearby!" Lin Yu muttered to himself, then dressed, walked out of the cave, and headed towards the vicinity to see if anyone else was around.
After he stepped out of the cave, he immediately discovered that there were no more Golden Core stage venomous snakes around. It seemed that those Golden Core stage venomous snakes had been frightened by him.
Lin Yu continued walking for another twenty minutes without encountering any venomous snakes. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly sensed a dangerous aura around him. He quickly turned around and saw a yellow python, over five meters tall, slowly approaching him.
This python is covered in hard scales, making it look like a crocodile, but it has a pair of sharp claws and a huge, blood-red mouth. This yellow python is huge, weighing about 60 or 70 kilograms, and has black spots all over its body. Its head is like a lion's, with its mouth wide open, revealing sharp teeth that gleam with a chilling luster in the night, making it look somewhat terrifying!
"Hiss!"
The yellow python looked extremely violent and ferocious. Upon discovering that Lin Yu Lin Yu standing in front of it, it roared angrily and charged towards him.
Its claws and enormous mouth, carrying a fierce wind, tore out wisps of sharp gale force as it pounced towards Lin Yu, seemingly intent on tearing him in two!
Lin Yu frowned, his vigilance increasing. He suddenly raised his right fist and threw a punch with unparalleled force, knocking back the yellow python that was rushing towards him. The python was sent flying and crashed heavily into the trees behind it, smashing a tree trunk and collapsing a section of the stump!
"Aww!"
The yellow python roared angrily, rolled several times on the ground, then stood up, its eyes bloodshot as it stared at Lin Yu, emitting a series of howls. Its voice was like thunder, booming and echoing in Lin Yu's ears.
Upon hearing the roar of the yellow python, Lin Yu felt his head buzzing, as if someone was banging drums and gongs. He felt dizzy and his mind was throbbing with sharp pains.
This situation clearly indicates that the yellow python is casting some kind of spell to attack others.
But soon, Lin Yu's headache disappeared, and he returned to calm.
"Hmph!"
Lin Yu snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"You little beast, how dare you hurt the Poison King of my Golden Serpent Gang! Today I will tear you to pieces!" Just then, a furious shout came from afar, and a figure quickly arrived, instantly landing in front of Lin Yu. It was an old man. This old man was short and thin, wearing a simple linen robe, with a full head of silver hair, a gloomy face, an ashen complexion, and venomous eyes, as cold and sinister as a poisonous snake!
Upon seeing the old man appear, Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat. This old man was the leader of the Golden Serpent Gang, known as the Golden Serpent Old Monster! It was said that he was already thirty years old, one of the experts in the Golden Serpent Gang, and his strength was extraordinary, comparable to an ordinary Golden Core cultivator!
The name of this Golden Serpent Old Monster was extremely well-known within the Golden Serpent Gang. He had killed many low-level poisonous insects and demonic beasts, so he held a high position within the Golden Serpent Gang and was the leader of all poisonous snakes and demonic beasts.
When Lin Yu saw the Golden Serpent Old Monster appear before him, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He had just broken through to the Golden Core realm, and although his strength was quite good, he was still far inferior to the Golden Serpent Old Monster. Moreover, the Golden Serpent Old Monster had many tricks up his sleeve, and his methods were endless. Once they clashed, Lin Yu would be in trouble.
This old monster is a dangerous person.
However, Lin Yu was not afraid of him.
In this world, there are many poisonous insects and demonic beasts, whose strength is far greater than that of the Golden Serpent Monster.
But Lin Yu is different. His body is strong and he has an incredibly terrifying physical defense. In addition, he also has a defensive treasure. Even a peak Golden Core stage expert can't do anything to him, let alone this Golden Serpent Old Monster!
"This Golden Serpent Monster is incredibly powerful; he should be a top-tier cultivator in the Golden Core stage."
"I have to be careful this time. I absolutely can't let my guard down, or I'll definitely suffer a terrible fate!"
Thinking of this, Lin Yu became even more cautious. He dared not be careless, and while walking forward, he vigilantly observed his surroundings, not missing a single sound.
"Aww... Aww..."
Seeing that Lin Yu was not only unafraid of him but also looked solemn, the Golden Serpent Monster was enraged. He roared again, leaped up, and charged towards Lin Yu.
Although this Golden Serpent Monster was incredibly powerful, he lacked intelligence and only knew how to attack others with brute force. Lin Yu sneered inwardly, stomped his foot on the ground, and his figure suddenly shot out, his right arm swinging out and striking the monster's neck hard.
Click!
A crisp sound of bones breaking rang out, and a spray of blood shot out. Lin Yu crushed the Golden Serpent Monster's throat, sending his entire body flying backward. He crashed to the ground, convulsing, and was already dead.
Lin Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing that the Golden Serpent Monster was dead. He was currently unable to kill the Golden Serpent Monster, but as long as he could stall for time, he would be able to summon reinforcements, and then he would be safe.
