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

Aside from naturally condensing deep within spiritual veins, only the lineage of Mother Earth can spontaneously condense spirit crystals.

Even more precious than spirit crystals is spirit marrow.

Spiritual marrow can be used to enhance the aptitude of cultivators, replacing their bone marrow and making them more compatible with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It provides a great boost to cultivation, combat, and the recovery of spiritual power.

Lin Zhu looked at Qing'er and realized that he had finally managed to latch onto a rich woman's coattails.

Xiao Bai put the ten spirit crystals into her storage space, her eyes narrowing with joy.

Wu Xingyun seemed lost in thought, her little head twitching slightly.

"Waaaaah, I've been completely crushed this time. I have no talent, no money, and I look like this, why?!"

Looking down at the ten spirit crystals in his hand, he wanted to give them up, but he couldn't bear to part with them.

After all, Qing'er hadn't offended her, so she couldn't refuse her kindness.

Moreover, these ten spirit crystals were of great help to her.

Seeing that her expression was a little off, Qing'er half-squatted down and asked, "Yun-mei, what's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Wu Xingyun shook her head, "No, no, I don't like it!" She quickly put the spirit crystal into her storage space.

Ming Yuanqing looked at Qing'er. Through their time together, she knew that Qing'er and Lin Zhu had a very good relationship.

Otherwise, Lin Zhu would not have given the Heaven-Binding Chain to Qing'er, and Qing'er would not have shown the spiritual veins of the Earth Cave Heaven to Lin Zhu and the others.

Others may not know, but she knows the situation of the spiritual veins in the Great Earth Grotto-Heaven.

The spirit crystals in their hands, for example, number in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of those crystals in the spiritual veins below.

It's all accumulated over countless generations; it's inexhaustible, absolutely inexhaustible.

After all, possessing the bloodline of Nuwa, one is naturally in harmony with the earth and does not need these spirit crystals during cultivation.

Occasionally, when the spiritual veins are combed, several will occasionally condense.

If you only produce but don't use it, it will accumulate to a large amount.

Over the years, in the Great Earth Grotto Heaven, only the Holy Maiden's lineage has used spirit crystals when cultivating.

But no matter how they were used, the Holy Maiden's lineage could only have a maximum of two people.

Chapter 496 Tianyong City

The next morning, after resting for more than a month in the Earth Cave, Lin Zhu and his group set off again aboard the Golden Eagle King.

Ming Yuanqing did not go with them, but stayed behind with Tu Qilin to guard the Earth Cave.

They returned to Chaofo City, took the teleportation array to Youzhou, and appeared in the lower city of Tianyong City.

The forces in Youzhou were few, and those in Tianyong City were the main ones.

Tianyong City is protected by the Tianxuan Sect in the south, the Shenyi Daotian Sect in the west, the Wanfa Palace in the east, and the Youdu Sect in the north.

In Tianyong City, the sect leader, True Person Hansu, is at the Mahayana realm, and there is also Elder True Person Ziyin, who is a peerless sword cultivator at the Mahayana realm. They can trigger the guiding light to ascend at any time, and their strength is no less than that of an Eight Tribulation Loose Immortal. Therefore, they are also known as immortals.

The northern ghost realm is teeming with evil spirits, occupying half of Youzhou. It was only because the True Man Ziyin was stationed in Tianyong City that the entire Youzhou was prevented from becoming a domain of vengeful ghosts.

Originally, the souls of those who died in the Chenxuan Realm would be reincarnated.

However, if resentment lingers in one's heart and does not dissipate, it will remain in the human world and be transported to the Yin Sha Land, forming a fierce and vengeful spirit, and transforming into a ghost cultivator.

A vengeful spirit is equivalent to the Qi Refining stage, a malevolent spirit is at the Foundation Establishment stage, a fierce ghost is at the Core Formation stage, a ghost soldier is at the Golden Core stage, and a ghost general is at the Nascent Soul stage.

These are all wandering spirits, unable to appear during the day.

However, becoming a Ghost General is equivalent to a cultivator condensing their primordial spirit, allowing them to appear during the day.

Ghost cultivators who appear during the day will have their strength greatly reduced.

Above the Ghost General are the Ghost King and the Ghost Emperor; after transcending the tribulation, one can become an immortal.

However, if the Ghost Emperor wants to undergo tribulation, he must do so nine times, just like a wandering immortal.

Therefore, in the Chenxuan Realm, not a single Ghost Emperor has been able to successfully transcend the tribulation.

Cultivating as a ghost is more difficult than cultivating as a demon or a monster.

Emerging from the teleportation array, Xiaobai said, "I didn't expect the teleportation array for Youzhou to be located in Tianyong City. Should we send Fuqu down to meet us? I wonder what she looks like?"

Wu Xingyun looked up at Xiaobai, "Are there any ugly ones among us?"

"That's true." Xiaobai smoothed her hair, looking like she was the second most beautiful woman in the world.

The four of them immediately attracted a lot of attention as they emerged from the teleportation array.

Two stunning beauties, an incredibly cute little girl, and a handsome, dashing-looking man—it's simply amazing.

Lin Zhu was very satisfied with the dark gold fire scale robe, so he didn't plan to change it and continued to wear it as is.

He said, "Since we've come to Tianyong City, it wouldn't be right not to say hello."

“That’s true.” Wu Xingyun and Qing’er both nodded.

Xiao Bai acted quickly: Fuqu, we're in Tianyong City, do you want to come out and meet us? @Fuqu

In Tianyong City, Fuqu had just finished her cultivation, and the lotus star aura above her head gradually dissipated.

Then she noticed something was happening in the group chat; Xiaobai was calling her.

Fuqu: You've arrived at Tianyong City? Oh, I'll be right down.

She felt a sense of novelty; friends she had never met before, hundreds of thousands of miles away, were coming to see her, and the thought made her a little excited.

They sped along the road and arrived at the place where Master Hansu was.

"Father, a friend of mine has come to Tianyong City. I'd like to go see him, is that alright?"

Cultivators sometimes go into seclusion for years or meditate for days or months at a time. This was the first time Fuqu had seen her father since her breakthrough.

Master Hansu examined Fuqu closely. "You've successfully formed your core?"

Speaking of this, Fuqu was happy, "Yes, Dad, I'm amazing, aren't I?"

Master Hansu was also pleased, "My Fuqu is indeed remarkable. However, as far as I know, your Uncle Ziyin's two disciples have already reached the Golden Core stage, so you still need to work harder!"

"Senior Brother is already very powerful! Junior Brother Tu Su is also very talented, I can't compare to him."

Speaking of these two things, she became somewhat disheartened, and then asked, "Father, do you think there are any people who are already at the Nascent Soul stage before they are even eighteen years old?"

"Hehe!" Master Hansu chuckled twice. "Even if one possesses divine blood, one cannot condense a Nascent Soul before the age of eighteen. At most, one can only reach the Golden Core stage. Even so, one can still be considered to have unparalleled talent."

"But the friend I'm going to see this time is a Nascent Soul cultivator. He's not even eighteen years old yet, but he's already formed a Nascent Soul."

Fuqu's eyes were wide open, eager to see her father's reaction.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Master Hansu stared at Fuqu. "Fuqu, don't try to fool your father."

Fuqu shook her head. "No, they're in Tianyong City right now. They just came out of the teleportation array."

Master Hansu was not surprised that Fuqu knew the whereabouts of her friend. As the daughter of the sect leader, Fuqu also had a communication compass. As long as she injected a wisp of energy, she could permanently leave the contact information.

"Really?" Master Hansu was also a little curious. A Nascent Soul cultivator who hadn't even reached eighteen years old was absolutely unique in the entire Chenxuan Realm, and he wanted to meet him.

"In that case, how about I have Qiongyu accompany you to meet him? And while we're at it, I'll invite your friend to come to Tianyong City as a guest."

Although the lower city of Tianyong City is located directly below Tianyong City, he only has this one daughter, so he is quite concerned about her safety.

"Yeah!"

Fuqu nodded in agreement.

Qiongyu is the sword spirit of the Qiongyu Sword wielded by Hansu. Similar to the sword spirit Hongyu of Master Ziyin, it is also a female sword spirit, dressed in white.

Since the legendary swordsman Jing Tian possessed the spirit of the Demon Sword hundreds of years ago, a trend of creating humanoid sword spirits has emerged among sword cultivators in the cultivation world.

The creation of a Blade Spirit is extremely demanding, especially for a humanoid Blade Spirit.

As righteous cultivators, they would never use the method of forging a demonic sword to condense a sword spirit.

Master Ziyin obtained the Red Jade by chance, but Master Hansu truly spent a vast amount of time nurturing it and feeding it with her own essence and blood before the Jade Sword gained sentience.

After a long period of gestation, the spirit of the Jade Sword was finally born.

But precisely because of this, his cultivation level lagged far behind that of Master Ziyin. Qiongyu had only recently successfully transcended her tribulation after her birth.

Qiongyu's strength is linked to that of Hansu Zhenren, so even when fighting alone, she possesses strength equivalent to the Transformation Realm, which is not a loss.

Fuqu walked ahead, with Qiongyu following behind, as they descended from Tianyong City.

Fuqu: Where are you?

Since they didn't know when Fuqu would come down, Lin Zhu and the others found an inn to stay in.

This inn is a property of Tianyong City and is called Wangjiang Pavilion.

The Wangjiang Pavilion is located to the east of a large river. It has seven floors and occupies a huge area.

The higher the floor, the more expensive it is.

The highest level, the "Heavenly" room, costs one tael of gold per day, which is equivalent to one low-grade spirit stone.

This is an inn that ordinary people can stay in, but it's incredibly expensive.

After all, without a good spiritual environment, it is easy to be disturbed. Cultivators with high cultivation levels will generally not live here, but will rent a cultivation cave instead.

The best cultivation cave costs one mid-grade spirit stone per night.

One meditation session or one period of seclusion, and a high-grade spirit stone is gone.

Lin Zhu: You managed to come down from Wangjiang Pavilion?

Fuqu: Yes, my father even asked me to invite you all up here as guests! I know Wangjiang Pavilion, I'll come pick you up.

Chapter 497 The Changes of Lotus

Not long after leaving Tianyong City, Fuqu found Wangjiang Pavilion.

Lin Zhu got a good look at her; she had thick, straight bangs, which looked quite funny.

The sword spirit accompanying her was also beautiful, dressed in pure white clothes, with snow-white hair and a heroic air between her brows and eyes, though she was a bit cold, like Ximen Chuixue.

The two sides met on the top floor of Wangjiang Pavilion, which is a very spacious courtyard built on the top floor.
