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

"You'll find out when the time comes." Lin Zhu looked at Ouyang Mingri and felt sorry for him. After thinking for a moment, she said, "By the way, I have an idea about your leg. I don't know if it's feasible."

Ouyang Mingri was stunned. His legs had always been a source of great anxiety for him. He had studied medicine diligently for many years, hoping to heal them.

Hearing that Lin Zhu had an idea, he said, "Brother Lin, please speak."

Lin Zhu asked, "Have you ever heard of the Blood Bodhi?"

Ouyang Mingri nodded, "It is said that the Blood Bodhi is formed from the blood of a Qilin that drips onto the ground and absorbs the essence of the earth's veins. It has the effect of enhancing power and healing injuries. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as you eat one, you can be cured in no time."

“Not bad.” Lin Zhu nodded. “In that case, if I were to use my powerful true energy to shatter the meridians and bones in your legs, would you be able to fully recover after taking the Blood Bodhi?”

Ouyang Mingri considered the possibility in his mind, but was not very confident, and said, "My legs are naturally made of cartilage. Even if I were to break them and then stand up again, the new ones would probably still be cartilage, making it impossible for me to stand."

Lin Zhu thought for a moment and then said, "What if we add the Black Jade Broken Heart Ointment from the Vajra Sect of the Western Regions?"

"Black Jade Broken Skin Ointment? Never heard of it." Ouyang Mingri shook his head. "What are its effects?"

Lin Zhu explained the effects of the Black Jade Bone-Mending Ointment.

Black Jade Fracture Repair Ointment can cure comminuted fractures and must have a bone-strengthening effect. Combined with Blood Bodhi, it may very well cure Ouyang Mingri's legs.

Ouyang Mingri imagined it in his mind again, and the more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. He looked up at Lin Zhu and said, "If that's the case, there's a 70% chance that my legs can be healed."

This was still a conservative estimate, and then his eyes dimmed again. "Leaving aside the Blood Bodhi, it is guarded by the Fire Qilin in Lingyun Cave. Just consider that the master of the Western Region Vajra Sect has the strength of a Grandmaster, and the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment is beyond my reach."

Lin Zhu said, "I have the Blood Bodhi, but you'll have to rely on yourself for the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment." As he spoke, he took out a Blood Bodhi from his sleeve and tossed it to Ouyang Mingri.

Ouyang Mingri reached out and took it, immediately feeling the immense medicinal power within.

"You just gave it to me like that?" He looked at Lin Zhu with some doubt.

Lin Zhu said, "No? Don't give it back."

Ouyang Mingri was stunned for a moment. He was at a loss for words, unsure whether to accept it or return it.

Lu Xiaofeng laughed heartily, "Brother Ouyang, Brother Lin has always been like this. He was joking, so please take it back quickly."

Lin Zhu also said, "You're too serious. I only gave it to you because I like you, so just accept it."

Ouyang Mingri smiled, solemnly accepted the Blood Bodhi, and then cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, Brother Lin!"

Come to think of it, one of the reasons he didn't help was because he didn't like someone. At this moment, he felt that Lin Zhu and he had some similarities in personality.

Shangguan Yan looked at Lin Zhu. She actually wanted the Blood Bodhi too, since Lin Zhu had given it to many people in the group.

But he was too shy to bring it up, so he just glanced at Lin Zhu and then looked away.

She longed to increase her strength, for only then could she take revenge.

She now possesses the strength of a half-step Grandmaster, and with the Phoenix Blood Sword, even ordinary Grandmasters would be no match for her.

Lin Zhu saw through her and said, "It would be a waste to give it to you now. I'll give it to you when you reach the late stage of Grandmaster. I'm afraid you won't be able to resist eating it."

Shangguan Yan nodded, indicating that she understood.

Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang's eyes lit up. Lin Zhu gave away the Blood Bodhi so readily, but what about them?

I felt a sense of anticipation.

But after hearing what he said to Shangguan Yan, she realized that she could not have him now.

Given their personalities, they would probably eat this good stuff as soon as possible.

Even though they longed for it, they didn't show it.

The Blood Bodhi in Lin Zhu's hand is his own; he can give it to whomever he wants. What's the point of him asking for it now?

Ouyang Mingri gleaned something from Lin Zhu's words, glanced at Shangguan Yan, then at Lin Zhu, and gave a bitter smile to himself.

Even if she weren't disabled, why would Shangguan Yan marry the son of her father's killer?

"By the way," Lin Zhu continued, "have you encountered that 'Ghost-Fearing Sorrow' Sima Changfeng?"

"A demon's wrath?" Shangguan Yan shook her head. "We haven't met one yet. What's wrong?"

Lin Zhu didn't answer, but said, "Let me take a look at the Phoenix Blood Sword."

Without hesitation, Shangguan Yan handed the Phoenix Blood Sword to Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu drew his sword, and the Phoenix Blood Sword emitted a pink light the moment it appeared, just like phoenix blood, hence its name.

It and the Dragon Soul Blade are a pair of matching swords.

Lin Zhu wanted to see if the Dragon Soul and Phoenix Blood could still become a pair if he intervened.

The Phoenix Blood Sword was crafted from seven-colored crystal mother material. When Lin Zhu held it in his hand, he could feel the power contained within it.

This sword is of comparable quality to the Fire Kirin Sword.

The Fire Kirin Sword's power largely comes from a single scale of the Kirin.

Both can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and ultimately feed it back to their master, effectively giving the sword master an automatic cultivation component.

Only weapons with such functions can be called divine weapons.

Chapter 252 The Essence of Swords and Romance

Lin Zhu returned the Phoenix Blood Sword to Shangguan Yan and then asked, "Did your master tell you about the connection between the Dragon Soul and Phoenix Blood?"

"I did say that," Shangguan Yan nodded. "But so what?" She didn't believe that the emotions between the two divine weapons would affect their owners.

But Lin Zhu believed it; the Phoenix Blood Sword felt very similar to the Fire Kirin Sword, both carrying a hint of evil.

After all, Gu Mutian was known as an evil god. When he nurtured the dragon soul and phoenix blood, he infused his own spiritual will and love into it, forging the spirit of this pair of swords.

And the spirit of swords and blades will influence their respective masters.

Lin Zhu reminded him, "Divine weapons have spirits, and you will be gradually influenced by them. The degree of influence varies depending on the nature of the divine weapon. This Phoenix Blood Sword is quite aggressive."

In a way, Shangguan Yan was also one of Gu Mutian's experimental subjects, in order to verify his idea that swords and blades have feelings.

It was under this influence that Shangguan Yan fell in love with Sima Changfeng.

Of course, she hadn't met Sima Changfeng yet, and the Phoenix Blood Sword hadn't come into contact with the Dragon Soul Blade, so she was skeptical of Lin Zhu and Gu Mutian's claims.

"Really? I don't believe it."

She believed that weapons were just weapons and would not affect her as their master.

Lu Xiaofeng also said, "Brother Lin, you're being a bit mystical."

"I think it's hard to say." Ouyang Mingri had met Gu Mutian and knew how powerful he was. A divine weapon crafted by a Heavenly Realm expert with all his heart and soul must have a very strong spiritual quality.

Seeing that the others were skeptical, Lin Zhu flicked his sleeve, pulled out the Fire Kirin Sword, and handed it to Shangguan Yan, saying, "You can try it."

Shangguan Yan reached out and took the Fire Kirin Sword. She immediately felt a surge of power flowing into her body through her hand, hot and malevolent.

"What an evil sword!" She released the hilt. The Fire Kirin Sword felt very different to her, yet it also had a subtle connection to the Phoenix Blood Sword.

Zhang San Niang, Shang Xiu Fang, Lu Xiao Feng, and the others were also very curious.

"May I take a look?" Zhang San Niang asked to see the Phoenix Blood Sword and the Fire Kirin Sword.

Shangguan Yan was very generous and handed over the Phoenix Blood Sword.

Lin Zhu didn't care much about the Fire Kirin Sword; if Zhang San Niang wanted to see it, so be it.

But the two gave her different feelings.

She deeply sensed the evil nature of the Fire Kirin Sword, but because the Phoenix Blood Sword had already recognized Shangguan Yan as its master, Zhang San Niang felt nothing towards it.

She expressed her feelings and asked, "Why is this happening?"

The others also took a turn to experience it.

Then the Phoenix Blood Sword trembled, unwilling to be touched by anyone else, feeling that it would become unclean if it were touched again.

Shangguan Yan retrieved it and, upon regaining control, clearly sensed the Phoenix Blood Sword's emotions.

This is the first time, which is quite amazing.

The Fire Kirin Sword itself didn't feel anything, but every time someone passed through its hands, it would infuse that person with a trace of its own power, and now it had become a bit weak.

Seeing their confusion, Lin Zhu explained, "I haven't used the Fire Kirin Sword yet, and it hasn't recognized a master, but you can already sense its spirituality and malevolence. However, the Phoenix Blood Sword has been with Shangguan Yan for a long time and hasn't encountered the Dragon Soul Blade yet, so its spirituality has little impact on you."

After comparing the two swords, Shangguan Yan began to believe Lin Zhu's words.

Not wanting her emotions to be affected by the Phoenix Blood Sword, she asked, "If that's the case, what should we do?"

Lin Zhu smiled and offered his solution, saying, "The Ice Heart Technique is a method for nourishing and calming the mind. After you cultivate it, you will naturally be able to resist the influence of the Phoenix Blood Sword on you."

Shangguan Yan thought for a moment, then nodded to Lin Zhu, "Thank you!"

"You are welcome."

Lin Zhu didn't know if Gu Mutian would be furious after he ruined the bond between the Dragon Soul and Phoenix Blood.

In fact, this matter is somewhat unfair to both Shangguan Yan and Sima Changfeng. How can human emotions be controlled by swords?

He wasn't trying to ruin their relationship; he was just trying to make Shangguan Yan more rational.

After telling this story, Lin Zhu, along with Zhang San Niang and Shang Xiu Fang, parted ways with the others.

Shangguan Yan went to find her mother. Lu Xiaofeng, Chu Liuxiang, and Hu Tiehua returned to Da Zhou. Ouyang Mingri watched them leave. After they were far away, he asked Gao Yishan to push him back to Sifang City.

On the way to Misty Peak, Zhang San Niang and Shang Xiu Fang looked at Lin Zhu with a hint of reproach.

Lin Zhu, puzzled, asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhang San Niang and Shang Xiu Fang were inwardly complaining, but outwardly they calmly said, "It's nothing."

If a woman says she's fine, then something definitely is wrong.

But since she was unwilling to talk about it, Lin Zhu wouldn't tolerate it and didn't ask.

Why create trouble for yourself?

He had been to Misty Peak once before. After leaving Sifang City, he quickly found his way and arrived at the Iron Chain Bridge at dusk.

Along the way, all the disciples of Lingjiu Palace recognized Lin Zhu, and no one blocked their way.

Standing by the iron chain bridge, Zhang Sanniang said, "This is my first time here."

Previously, Wu Xingyun carried me to Lingjiu Palace. When I returned to Gusu, I rode the Golden Eagle King and didn't get off.

This was Shang Xiufang's first time here in the true sense.
