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

The liquid gold began to boil, and wisps of golden energy were born as it continued to burn, turning a purplish-gold color in the air before dissipating.

Lin Zhu made a move, rotating his hands to condense the wisps of golden energy into a single strand, which he then stored in his storage space.

The smelting process took an hour, during which a total of one hundred strands of golden energy were collected.

One thousand strands, ten hours will suffice.

However, this gold mine has shrunk by a full one-sixtieth, and the rate of consumption is alarming.

Three days later, the two thousand strands of golden energy were ready, but Huo Ling'er was exhausted.

Huo Ling'er demanded compensation.

"I'm exhausted, Ling'er needs to have a big meal."

It stared longingly at Lin Zhu, then looked at Chen Bangling, its meaning self-evident.

Wu Xingyun smiled and looked at Chen Bangling, "Abei, go and make Ling'er something delicious."

"Okay!" Chen Bangling reached out and picked up the now adorable Huo Ling'er, saying, "Good Ling'er, come with me."

Huo Ling'er's eyes shone brightly when she could eat something delicious.

Lin Zhu looked at Wu Xingyun and asked, "Grandma, when do you plan to break through to the Void Realm?"

"Three days later, but not in the Western Regions, otherwise you might be in trouble if people find out I've left."

Wu Xingyun's idea was relatively sound.

"The cultivation world is not like ours, Senior Sister, please be careful," Li Canghai couldn't help but say.

"Don't worry, I'll bring Little Gold with me. If we can't beat them, we can't outrun them, right? Besides, we have Golden Qi. If we really can't outrun them, I'll just teleport back."

Lin Zhu had previously given the collected golden energy to Wu Xingyun, a total of two thousand strands of golden energy.

The main concern is that the system might be unreliable; what if a thousand strands aren't enough?

But Wu Xingyun didn't have this worry.

Lin Zhu: By the way, is there no pet space?

[Ding! Keyword detected: Pet Space. Would you like to spend 1,000 strands of gold energy to permanently unlock it?]

Wu Xingyun: How about this, let's wait another half month, and I'll break through the void again after half a month.

Chapter 397 Wu Xingyun Breaks Through the Void

Wu Xingyun's ascension to immortality was postponed by half a month.

For the past two weeks, Huo Ling'er has been on the verge of tears, constantly breathing fire and it's exhausting!

Fifteen days, ten thousand strands of golden energy.

Aside from the two thousand strands of golden energy that were used to open pet spaces for Lin Zhu and Wu Xingyun respectively, the remaining ten thousand strands were given to Wu Xingyun.

Since metal energy can be used as a means of traversing the world, it should also be usable as money in the cultivation world.

When you're traveling, you can lack many things, but you absolutely must have ability and money.

But looking at Jinshan, which had shrunk by nearly 10%, Wu Xingyun felt heartache for the first time. This was all money!

Li Canghai said, "I remember you said, Xiaozhu, that there are many gold mines in the New World of the North, right?"

"Yes." Lin Zhu nodded.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Xingyun said, "How about I relocate some of the Lingjiu Palace disciples there to help us with the mining?"

Before anyone could say anything, Wu Xingyun said directly, "It's settled then. We can't be short of this gold."

Lin Zhu said, "There's no need for that trouble. There are people there, mostly remnants of the Shang dynasty. We can exchange various goods for gold with them, since gold isn't very valuable there."

After all, things are valued for their scarcity. Compared to the population of the Great Shang Dynasty in the northern New World, gold was everywhere, just like stones.

"Sure, this business is doable. But who's willing to go?"

Wu Xingyun looked at the people in Lingjiu Palace.

“I’ll go. Qingluo, Yuyan, and Qinglu will come with me. Bring your sister along too.” Li Canghai volunteered. “Xiaozhu will stay at Lingjiu Palace. With Ling’er there, we can rest assured.”

“Great!” Wu Xingyun was very satisfied with Li Canghai’s arrangement. “Didn’t Li Qiushui want the white eagle? This time, she can have it for free.”

After saying that, she asked Li Canghai to communicate with Li Qiushui in the group chat.

Li Qiushui originally didn't want to cooperate, but seeing that Wu Xingyun was willing to give her a white eagle, she immediately came all the way from Xixia City.

Wang Yuyan was also going there, and was also assigned a top-tier white eagle, which the Golden Eagle King helped her tame.

A few days later, Wu Xingyun selected one hundred people, including Granny Yu, at Lingjiu Palace, and they flew to the New World in the North aboard the Golden Eagle King and two white eagles.

Before they left, Lin Zhu told them that the gold mines in the Northern New World were most abundant along the west coast, especially the mountain range east of the west coast, where you could find gold just by walking.

There's no way around it, the world is just too big, which means there are a lot of gold mines.

There are some places where mining is more difficult, but this does not include the northern New World and the southern tip of the Persian continent.

In these places, gold is a local specialty.

"I'm leaving. You all wait for my message at Lingjiu Palace."

Wu Xingyun waved from the back of the Golden Eagle King and led everyone eastward.

Since the west had never been explored, Lin Zhu didn't know if there was any magic or lizard dragons there. To be on the safe side, it would be better to fly to the East Sea.

As for the dragon in the East China Sea, compared to the vast East China Sea, encountering it is truly not easy.

That night, Wu Xingyun was not there, but Lin Zhu was.

In this context, Zhang San Niang, Huang Rong, Shang Xiufang, Shen Bijun, and others gathered in front of Lin Zhu's house.

After a brief standoff, they left without prior arrangement.

Lin Zhu noticed what was happening in her room, but she really didn't dare to go out!

'No wonder they had to choose a name; that way, there's no need to agonize over it.'

On the first night, they kept bumping into each other in the Zizai Hall, then leaving, only to bump into each other again.

Finally, they simply stayed there and prevented anyone from going in.

One by one, they stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Lin Chaoying: Granny Tong, these young girls have gone completely out of control while you were gone.

Wu Xingyun: What? What happened? @Huang Rong @You Ruo...you guys went to bother Xiao Zhuzi again?

Huang Rong: No, I was just taking a walk outside and passing by.

You Ruo: Yes, yes, Grandma, don't wrong me.

In the latter half of the night, the area outside the Zizai Hall finally quieted down.

Although the tiger has left the mountain, its power remains, and it can return at any time.

They could only sigh and go back to their cultivation.

There's nothing we can do; we lack the strength and therefore have no say!

As for Lin Zhu, it was not convenient for him to act because he was at Lingjiu Palace.

Lin Zhu: Grandma, have you arrived yet? @Wu Xingyun @Li Canghai @Wang Yuyan

Wang Yuyan: We've arrived. We've been searching for a long time, and it really is just as you said—gold is everywhere. There are even three gold mountains, each one bigger than the one behind Lingjiu Palace.

Lin Zhu: Really?

Wu Xingyun: It's true, but this place is quite treacherous. The remnants of the Great Shang Dynasty probably didn't make it here in time. I plan to build a city at the foot of the mountain and relocate some people from Lingjiu City, otherwise we won't have enough manpower. Enough of this. I'll leave here when it gets light, and leave everything else to Canghai.

Li Canghai: I haven't managed cities much, how about we send Dongfang over too? @DongfangBai

Dongfang Bai: Okay, I'll set off now. If I make it in time, I should be able to see Grandma off.

Wu Xingyun: I'm waiting for you.

After greeting everyone, Dongfang Bai rode a white eagle to the northern New World.

Lin Zhu stayed at Lingjiu Palace, instructing Huang Rong and the others on martial arts moves in the morning, practicing body exercises in the afternoon, and cultivating at night.

My day was packed with activities.

Nighttime in the New World of the North.

Li Canghai: Senior sister is about to break through the Void Realm.

[Ding, a candidate has been detected who meets the live streaming criteria. Searching for a suitable streamer has begun. Search complete: Li Qinglu.]

Lin Zhu: Qinglu is the weakest! What a coincidence!

[I'm not listening, it's just a bunch of nonsense.]

Li Qinglu chuckled inwardly, but still started the live stream.

At this moment, the Golden Eagle King was taken into the pet space by Wu Xingyun, and she looked up at the void.

In fact, breaking through the void was something that both she and Zhang Sanfeng could easily do.

One relies on skill, the other on realm and attack power.

At their level, they can already see the chains of rules governing the universe; they only need to break them to pierce the void.

Wu Xingyun held a radiant plum blossom in his left hand, as bright as the sun, its golden light gleaming.

The right hand is extremely Yin, condensing into an extremely Yin plum blossom that resembles the bright moon, its silver light warm and gentle, carrying boundless coldness.

The hands slowly approached each other, and the two plum blossoms also approached each other, merging together. One of the plum blossoms, seemingly solid, emitted a polished metallic luster.

The power and destructive force contained within it reached their extreme.

Wu Xingyun pushed his palms upwards, and the silver plum blossoms flew into the sky, detonating thousands of kilometers away.

The roaring sound reached Lin Zhu and the others through the live broadcast screen; it was incredibly loud.

The void cracked open, the broken chain of rules snapped, and nine-colored light evolved from the void, completely enveloping Wu Xingyun.

Wu Xingyun neither dodged nor evaded, but was guided by the nine-colored light, disappearing into the void.
