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

The storm raged for a day, blowing westward, seemingly towards Ryukyu.

But it should be fine. Ryukyu is protected by Mount Yufeng. When the storm reaches that side, its power will be reduced by 70%, and it won't cause much of a disaster.

The storm subsided the following morning.

The sky was clear and blue.

The Golden Eagle King carried Lin Zhu, Li Canghai, and Huo Ling'er as they continued flying eastward.

After flying for a day and a night, they finally saw the coastline; they had arrived at the New World.

Looking at the vast landmass to the west, Li Canghai said, "Is this the New World you spoke of? Are potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes found here?"

Lin Zhu shook his head, "We still need to fly a little further south."

The Golden Eagle King understood, changed direction, and flew south.

In half a day, they came to see a long and narrow mountain range that almost ran through the entire continent.

The Golden Eagle King flew at an altitude of several thousand kilometers. When looking down, although it could not see the overall outline of the entire Southern New Continent, it could still see the general outline.

Lin Zhu roughly determined the location and said to the Golden Eagle King, "Go down from here."

Upon hearing this, the Golden Eagle King cried out and swooped down, landing on a fertile patch of land at the foot of the mountain.

"Awooooo~!"

As soon as they landed, they heard a sound like that of a wild beast coming from afar.

Then a group of people came galloping by on relatively short horses.

After seeing the full appearance of the Golden Eagle King, they were terrified and reined in their horses, turning them around to flee.

Having encountered the natives, Lin Zhu could ask them where the three major crops—potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes—were located. How could he let them go so easily?

With a slight movement of his foot, he left a trail of afterimages in the same spot.

The next moment, it appeared in front of the army.

This army consisted of more than sixty men, with spears on their horses and bows and arrows on their backs.

Lin Zhu pushed forward with both palms, unleashing his true essence. The powerful force pressed down, abruptly halting the army's charge, but without injuring any soldiers or horses.

"Gala Guru..."

The leader was in a panic and couldn't understand what he was saying.

Lin Zhu said she couldn't understand it, but it felt somewhat familiar, like the dialect of some places in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At this moment, Li Canghai appeared in front of Lin Zhu and said, "They are speaking the official language of the previous dynasty."

Then, they translated for Lin Zhu and the others.

In any case, there wasn't a single word he could understand.

Through Li Canghai's translation, Lin Zhu learned about the origins of these people.

After the previous dynasty's defeat, these surviving people migrated north for a considerable period of time, eventually reaching the northern continent.

Then, after several decades or even centuries of migration, they reached the southern continent.

Many people died along the way, and many more were born.

At this moment, Lin Zhu just wanted to shout, "Since ancient times..."

But after thinking about it again, she decided against it and said to Li Canghai, "Sister, have them take us to their tribe. They should grow potatoes there."

"What tribes? They've formed different countries."

Li Canghai and Lin Zhu said.

The totem of this country is a seagull, and its name is Shangqiu.

Because of Li Canghai's translation, these people knew that they had no malicious intent and were not invading them; they were simply looking for three relatively high-yield crops.

These soldiers weren't really sure whether crops were high-yielding or not.

After thinking for a moment, he led the two to their encampment.

It was a city, about the size of a county town in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it was one of the important cities in their country, the ancient Jin City.

The arrival of Lin Zhu and Li Canghai caused a sensation.

Magnificent clothes, stunningly beautiful appearance, and a giant golden eagle king following behind.

The people of Shangqiu still maintained their belief in gods from the previous dynasty, believing that the gods had descended to earth, and they all knelt down to worship.

The commotion was so great that it reached the city lord's mansion.

"Hooray!"

A figure flew out from the city lord's mansion and landed in front of Lin Zhu and Li Canghai.

Li Canghai continued translating.

This is the city lord, named Huang Hu. He looks to be over fifty years old and his strength is at the Grandmaster level.

Lin Zhu and Li Canghai could see through his strength, but he couldn't see through Lin Zhu and Li Canghai, though he could sense a great threat from them.

'Could it really be the arrival of the gods?'

Because they were descendants of the previous dynasty, much of their heritage had been lost, and they remained in a slave society.

However, after Li Canghai explained, the city lord finally understood that these two people were neither gods nor messengers of gods, but simply came from the land of Shenzhou to find crops.

Even as the city lord, he had no recollection of the land of China at this moment, only knowing that it was the homeland of his ancestors.

As for the so-called crops, he understood them after Lin Zhu's description and Li Canghai's translation.

He immediately ordered someone to bring these three items over.

The potato, about the size of a bamboo fist, is not native but cultivated through artificial intervention.

Corn and sweet potatoes are the same.

It seems that even though they were descendants of the previous dynasty who came across the ocean, they did not lose the Chinese people's talent for farming.

In times of hardship, most people are like Shennong (a legendary Chinese hermit).

Lin Zhu learned from Li Canghai about the arduous process they went through in finding, selecting, and cultivating these three divine objects, and he was deeply moved.

Chapter 394 The Giant Beasts of the Southern New Continent

Lin Zhu never imagined that this trip would go so smoothly.

I was overjoyed.

Perhaps because of their strength, or perhaps because they felt that it wasn't a big deal for these works to be shipped out, they were easily taken away by Lin Zhu and Li Canghai.

Li Canghai was shocked to learn about the yields of these three crops from Huang Hu.

This stuff is so productive that they harvest it all in one season, but they can't eat it all, so it just sits there and rots.

Especially given the geographical location of Shangqiu, it can be planted in three seasons.

However, after each planting, they have to switch to another plot and let the land rest for a year.

The main problem is that there is too little population and not enough compost.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, land could be cultivated annually.

Without hesitation, Lin Zhu packed a bag of potatoes, a bag of sweet potatoes, and a bag of corn and sent them to Sheng Yayu.

[Ding, Lin Zhu has sent three sacks. Sheng Yayu, do you wish to receive them?]

Sheng Yayu: What is that?

Lin Zhu: Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. Potatoes can yield about 1,500 jin per mu, sweet potatoes a little less, about 1,000 jin, and corn about 300-400 jin. However, corn stalks can be used as livestock feed, which is also good. You can have Zhuge Shenhou present them to Ji Zhao. I've put the planting methods in the group; you can tell him too.

Zhu Yuyan: In this battle for supremacy, are you on the side of the Great Zhou?

Lin Zhu: No, my main goal is to promote these three crops throughout China and help solve the basic food and clothing problems of ordinary people. Although it may not solve all of them, every little bit helps.

Wu Xingyun: That's a good idea, Grandma, I support you.

[Ding! Lin Zhu has sent three sacks. Does Lü Lingqi wish to receive them?]

Lü Lingqi: There's still a share for me?

Lin Zhu: For the King of Qin.

Lü Lingqi: I understand, I'll go ask my father for leave right away.

She understood the importance of these three crops; they had to be planted, otherwise logistics would not be able to keep up.

Afterwards, Lin Zhu sent Yaoyue three sacks and asked her to deliver them to Liu Bei.

There are no group members in the Jiangnan area, so it's inconvenient to teleport. We'll talk about it when we get back.

However, they still sent three warehouses of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn to Lingjiu Palace.

To repay Huang Hu for his kindness, Lin Zhu and Li Canghai discussed it and taught him the basics of Qi cultivation.

Huang Hu's strength did not come from cultivation, but from natural growth.

Like Sheng Yayu and Yan Lingji, he possesses supernatural abilities.

However, he possesses superhuman physical abilities, with immense strength. When he unleashes his full power, he can even double the size of his body and multiply his strength, reaching the combat power of a Grandmaster.

That's right. His superpower development has reached its limit, and since he has no cultivation techniques to practice, he has remained at the level of a normal Grandmaster.

After Li Canghai taught him the basic methods of circulating qi, he immediately felt that he was about to break through. He apologized and said, "Thank you both for your kindness in imparting knowledge. I am about to break through. Please forgive my poor hospitality."

Li Canghai waved his hand, "It's time for us to leave as well."

Huang Hu hadn't anticipated that they would have to leave after less than half a day in the city.

He wanted to persuade them to stay, but he didn't know why or how to persuade them.

Lin Zhu and Li Canghai left without any hesitation.

Huo Ling'er remained in Lin Zhu's arms the whole time, completely unnoticed.

Just as the Golden Eagle King was about to take off, a shadow loomed over them.

Looking up, I saw a giant eagle even larger than the Golden Eagle King, but it was bald and not at all majestic.
