Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

A day later, we entered Sichuan. When we were almost at Lingyun Cave, we passed through a small town.

It was nearly dusk, so he decided to find an inn to stay in and set off again the next day.

Across from the inn is a pawnshop called Zhonghua Pavilion.

At the entrance of the pawnshop, a middle-aged man was playing the erhu, the sound of which was mournful, as if lamenting, yearning, weeping, and pleading.

Lin Zhu looked at him and found him very familiar, so she murmured, "Could it be Wuming, who plays the erhu at full strength?"

The man looked up at Lin Zhu, his expression momentarily stunned, before quickly recovering. He said, "I have lived in seclusion here for over ten years, and you actually recognize me, young friend! May I ask what this 'full blood' means?"

No, it really is nameless.

"Junior Lin Zhu greets Senior Wuming." Lin Zhu looked at him; he appeared to be around forty years old, but his actual age was definitely not young.

I don't know if he's at the Heavenly Sword Realm, but Xiong Ba can't beat him anyway.

"Young friend, there's no need for such formality." Wuming was very friendly to the polite junior. "Could you please explain what 'full health' means?"

Lin Zhu explained with a smile, "It means I'm at my peak."

Wuming paused for a moment, then nodded, finding the explanation plausible. He then asked, "How did you recognize me, young friend?"

Lin Zhu said, "Whether you are standing or sitting, you give people the feeling of a sword that has been sheathed. In this world, perhaps only you two, Senior Dugu Sheng and Senior Wuming, have such a level of swordsmanship."

Wuming nodded in agreement.

He was over sixty years old. Although he had reached the Heavenly Sword Realm, his skill was still at its peak and could not compare to a true Heavenly Sword Realm master, such as Dugu Sheng.

"Young friend, you have a keen eye," Wuming thought to himself. 'I tried to hide it so well, but you still saw through me.'

He looked at Lin Zhu more closely, but couldn't see through him. He wondered inwardly, "Young friend, do you have martial arts skills?"

That's a silly question. If Lin Zhu didn't have martial arts skills, with that kind of appearance, how could he have gotten here?

"I do have some martial arts skills," Lin Zhu said modestly.

Wuming nodded, not asking any further questions, and then asked, "May I ask what brings you here, young friend?"

"Just traveling around and enjoying the scenery, passing through this place."

Lin Zhu naturally couldn't tell Wuming that he was going to Lingyun Cave.

Wuming smiled slightly at this moment, "Then I wish you a pleasant journey, young friend."

"Thank you, senior. I'll take my leave now." Lin Zhu said as he entered the inn and checked in.

Just then, a young man in white robes walked over from a distance. "Master, I'm back."

"Yes, go and rest. Your sword intent still needs further refinement."

The newcomer was Jian Chen, and Wuming was quite satisfied with this disciple of his.

Jian Chen glanced at Lin Zhu's back and couldn't take his eyes off her.

He said, "Master, when did this person arrive here?"

Wuming said, "You don't need to worry about this. Just focus on practicing your swordsmanship."

He had a vague premonition that his peaceful days were about to end.

The next day, on the second floor of Zhonghua Pavilion, he saw Lin Zhu walk out of the inn and head towards the distance without any hesitation.

'Looks like I was just passing by.'

The snow in Sichuan is not very heavy; most of the time it's sleet, giving people a damp and cold feeling.

As he passed through Chengdu, he saw in the distance an eighty-meter-long broadsword cleaving down a small mountain, accompanied by a furious voice: "Investigate! I, Guan, must find out who misinterpreted the meaning of 'two'!"

The sound was deafening.

Lin Zhu shrank his neck. This was the pinnacle of the ultimate realm, even reaching the Heavenly Blade Realm. He felt a chill on his neck.

'No, how did I hear that? Wait, why am I feeling guilty? It wasn't me who said it.'

Why is my second brother so angry?

Liu Bei walked over slowly. "Who angered you, Second Brother?"

Guan Yu's face flushed red. "Brother, don't worry about this. I'll handle it myself." His eyes twitched, and his phoenix eyes burned with fury. He was extremely angry.

"Who exactly angered you, Second Brother? I'll go and poke three hundred holes in him."

Zhang Fei's voice was very rough.

"I, Guan, will cut him in two." Guan Yu found it difficult to say, so he didn't explain to Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.

Lin Zhu dared not linger in Chengdu and continued south, arriving in Jiaozhou around noon.

Lingyun Cave is located at the right ear of the large Buddha statue on the Minjiang River in Jiaozhou.

The Buddha statue is as tall as the mountain, standing at a height of 365 meters. The Lingyun Cave is even more enormous, and it is the dwelling place of the Fire Qilin.

Because of this, the temperature here is not so cold, and it is quite warm when the weather is sunny.

But it's still winter, not the season for the Fire Kirin to be active.

This season is just right for visiting Lingyun Cave.

As long as you are careful, you should be fine.

However, for safety reasons, Lin Zhu felt that some safeguards needed to be taken.

He took out the dragon horn eight-stringed zither, and a lullaby was played at the entrance of Lingyun Cave.

As the music began, birds within a ten-mile radius perched on treetops and closed their eyes, while beasts lay prostrate on the ground and took a nap.

Deep within the Lingyun Cave, the Fire Qilin, already in a deep slumber, slept even more comfortably.

After playing for about 15 minutes, the sound of the piano grew increasingly low and then slowly disappeared.

It's like a mother soothing her baby to sleep and then slowly leaving.

Within a radius of ten miles, the birdsong ceased and the roars of beasts fell silent.

Lin Zhu felt there was no danger, so she went inside.

The Lingyun Cave is a complex and intricate place. As he walked, he left marks along the way.

Because of his keen senses, he could perceive the temperature changes in Lingyun Cave.

The deeper you go, the higher the temperature becomes.

The top of Lingyun Cave is more than ten meters above the ground, and there are scratches on the top, which should have been left by the fire qilin.

Judging from this, its height is also over ten meters, and its strength is no less than that of the Heavenly Realm.

Lin Zhu's ears twitched; a faint snoring sound came from deep within Lingyun Cave.

This is a sign that things are safe.

He searched carefully and nimbly in the Lingyun Cave.

As I passed by, I saw a skeleton chained up.

'This must be Nie Ying, the ancestor of the Nie family.'

Pushing aside the vines, the stone wall above was clearly engraved with the Nie family's ancestral sword techniques, the Six Secrets of Aohan, and the Daoist internal energy technique, the Ice Heart Technique.

Lin Zhu copied the Six Secrets of Aohan into the group, and then gained another opportunity for enlightenment.

As for the Ice Heart Manual, it's available in the group; Xiaomeng uploaded it.

Xiaomeng: It's only been a few days, and another skill has been learned?

Li Canghai: This sword technique is not bad. Let's modify it and see if we can incorporate it into my sword moves.

Wu Xingyun: Although this sword technique is cold and sinister, it possesses a majestic and powerful aura. It can be integrated into the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand. Where did you obtain it from? @Lin Zhu

Lin Zhu: I am in Lingyun Cave. This was left by Nie Feng's ancestor, Nie Ying.

Wu Xingyun: I see.

Lin Zhu closed the group chat and searched the cave again, but still couldn't find the Snow Drinking Knife.

As I passed an intersection, there was another skull.

He looked around and saw a red sword stuck in the ground not far away.

He drew it; the blade was made of strange iron, and the hilt was inlaid with a scale like red jade.

This is the scale of the Fire Qilin, the hardest one.

After Lin Zhu got his hands on it, a surge of heat flowed into his body.

Chapter 174 Delivering Blood Bodhi

This is the power of the Fire Kirin Sword itself, which absorbed fire energy in the Lingyun Cave for ten years and transformed into sword essence.

Lin Zhu accepted all comers and absorbed them.

It also carries an evil aura that wants to rush into his brain.

However, as the Wuji True Essence circulated, this evil energy was also dissolved and transformed into a purer True Essence.

The side effects of the Fire Kirin Sword were nothing to him.

Its blade is like red jade, semi-transparent, and the cloud patterns on the blade faintly reveal the image of a fire unicorn.

It is an unparalleled divine weapon.

He accepted it with a smile; it was better than letting Duan Lang get it. Duan Lang was originally a pure-hearted young man, so he was more easily influenced by the evil energy of the Fire Kirin Sword. It was better to help him keep this thing.

After searching through seven or eight more caves, he finally found the Blood Bodhi.

In a cave that was five zhang high and more than ten zhang long and wide, a faint red light emanated.

On the vines, blood bodhi seeds, radiating a red glow, hang like lamps.

The vines are densely packed, with hundreds of blood bodhi seeds, each the size of a longan, on them.

Each one is equivalent to the same amount of blood in the Fire Kirin's body.

It grew by absorbing the fiery energy within the Lingyun Cave over decades or even centuries.

The vines were also red, so they didn't look like anything good.
