The two wandered cautiously in the wild for three days.

Lin Zhu felt the time was right, so he transformed himself into the appearance of Zhou Yixian, looking like a sage, which was quite intimidating.

Then Lin Zhao was summoned.

Lin Zhao has been cultivating in the pet space for more than ten years. Due to the tempering of Yin and Yang energies by the system, his bloodline has undergone another transformation. Now he is also in the Void Realm, and his body has returned to the size of an ordinary big dumpling.

They look a bit goofy, and their cuteness rivals that of panda cubs; it's a different kind of adorable charm.

Lin Zhu lay on its back with the banner in his hand and slowly walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying.

They met at a far corner.

To be precise, it was Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying who saw Lin Zhu.

The words written on the banner were very eye-catching, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying could not pretend not to see them.

The inscription reads: "Knowing the past 30,000 years, knowing the future 300 years, understanding astronomy, geography, and human destiny."

One divination yields one top-grade spirit stone.

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly transmitted his voice: 'Will top-grade spirit stones be the currency of this world?'

"I don't know." Ma Xiuying shook her head. "Should we ask?"

The two were quite bewildered, but the fortune teller in front of them should be able to help them understand some new aspects of the world.

Chapter 670 Ma Xiuying's Abilities

"Senior, please wait!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, accompanied by Ma Xiuying, stepped forward to stop Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu sat up, not getting off Lin Zhao's back, and said in a pretentious manner, "Oh, it's actually a cultivator who just broke through to the Void Realm."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying were startled and couldn't help but become wary.

Lin Zhu chuckled, "You guys are really bold, daring to stop someone so casually. Aren't you afraid that I might have bad intentions towards you?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiuying smiled and said, "Senior is joking. I have a special talent that allows me to discern the good and evil in people's hearts; otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to stop you."

"Oh!" Lin Zhu was indeed somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Ma Xiuying to have such talent.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled smugly, thinking that since his sister had this talent, it was as if he himself had it.

"I suppose you two stopped me to learn about this unfamiliar world," Lin Zhu "guessed" their purpose.

"Indeed, I hope you can enlighten me." Ma Xiuying's humble attitude and gentle tone quickly made her approachable.

Lin Zhu carefully examined the two of them, then feigned surprise and exclaimed, "This is incredible! This is incredible!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying exchanged a glance; they felt a strange unease about the Taoist priest before them.

"What did you see, senior?"

Lin Zhu said, "Both of you possess the destiny of dragons and phoenixes, and you are destined for great achievements in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with doubt and uncertainty. Lin Zhu's words were not wrong. Back in China, the two of them were practically on par with the emperor and empress. This was the destiny of a dragon and a phoenix.

Ma Xiuying frowned and looked at Lin Zhu carefully, trying to see something out of him.

However, Lin Zhu's transformation technique was extraordinary. Without the soul's perception, his physical body underwent a real change, and even his aura changed.

It's neither an illusion nor a disguise.

No matter how carefully Ma Xiuying looked, she couldn't figure out what was going on.

Zhu Yuanzhang then said, "Senior, as you know, we have just arrived here. Please don't take the dragon and phoenix destiny and such seriously."

That won't do; you can't just abandon your responsibilities.

Lin Zhu coughed twice, indicating that sending these two to contend for supremacy was not his primary concern.

"Alright, since you've put it that way, then let's not talk about it. Since you want to know about the situation in the Chenxuan Realm, I'll tell you about it, as a way of forming a good relationship between the two of you."

"I humbly request your guidance, senior."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying listened attentively.

Lin Zhu then introduced the basic situation of the Chenxuan Realm to the two of them. After he finished the introduction, he said, "The land beneath our feet is in the southern part of the Central Plains. Right now, the Central Plains is in the midst of a chaotic war between various countries. Have you two decided where to go?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "I plan to take my sister and hide in the deep mountains to convert my own power into spiritual power first."

True energy can be transformed into spiritual energy, which can increase one's lifespan to ten thousand years out of thin air.

After another breakthrough, lifespan will increase accordingly. To then try to dominate the world? Are you out of your mind?

Wouldn't it be better for Old Zhu to take his girlfriend and live happily ever after amidst the mountains and rivers?

Lin Zhu nodded, then shook his head. "Converting your own power into spiritual power is indeed the most urgent task, but given your fates, you two will certainly not be able to stay in the mountains for long. That's all I have to say. Take care."

As he said this, he prepared to leave.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that, senior?"

Lin Zhu stopped Lin Zhao and earnestly began to deceive him, saying, "It all comes down to your destinies. Even if you don't seek trouble, trouble will come to you. If your destinies and identities don't match, your fate will be..."

He sighed and then shook his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled wryly, "Senior, with our strength and that of my sister, how easy is it to compete for supremacy in the chaotic Central Plains?"

Lin Zhu smiled mysteriously and said, "That's not quite right!"

He decided to cast his bait and patted Lin Zhao on the shoulder.

Lin Zhao was about to release the aura of the Void Realm.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying unconsciously took three steps back, looking at Lin Zhao with slight surprise in their hearts.

A mere mount possesses power far exceeding their own!

Lin Zhu then asked, "What if I were to assist you?"

"This..." Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was solemn. He would not easily trust people, and neither would Ma Xiuying, even though she could sense the good and evil in human nature.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhu asked, "I wonder if there is a sect called Longhu Mountain in the world you two live in?"

“Longhu Mountain?” Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. “Yes, there is. I wonder why you ask this, senior.”

Lin Zhu explained, “The path cultivated by my sect is very similar to that of Longhu Mountain; both are about competing for the fortune of the Dragon Subduing Court. The reason you two were able to meet me is that I saw an auspicious sign of a dragon and phoenix in the vicinity three days ago, so I came looking for you.”

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying looked at each other again; three days earlier was the day they ascended to heaven.

If possible, Zhu Yuanzhang would still be willing to fight for the throne.

"I wonder how strong you are, senior, and how powerful your sect is?"

Lin Zhu immediately released his aura, saying, "This humble Taoist is only at the Mahayana realm."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened. If even the Great Ascension Realm is incompetent, then what about me?

"As for my sect, we have seven members at the Mahayana Realm, and five others who have already ascended to immortality. With such support, I wonder if you two dare to give it a try?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree immediately, but asked instead, "Fortune is elusive, so let's leave that aside for now. May I ask why you chose us, Daoist Master? I imagine there must be quite a few people in the Chenxuan Realm who possess the destiny of dragons and phoenixes."

Lin Zhu adopted a compassionate demeanor, seven parts genuine and three parts acting, saying, "With the chaos in the Central Plains, the people of the world are suffering. You two have extremely strong dragon and phoenix destinies and can easily gather fortune. If you can resolve the chaos in the world as soon as possible, we will also gain great merit. Of course, if you two are unwilling, I will leave now."

Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, waiting for his reply.

She supported whatever decision Zhu Yuanzhang made.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a long time, thinking to himself, "If I do not take what Heaven has given me, I will suffer the consequences." He looked at Lin Zhu, bowed, and said, "I hope you will give me more guidance in the future, Daoist Master."

Lin Zhu nodded and then said, "It's just a mutual benefit. You two should convert your own power first, and I will protect you."

The three of them found a cave.

Lin Zhu formed hand seals, and he set up two simple spirit-gathering arrays.

Then, seventy-two top-grade spirit stones were taken out and embedded in the nodes of the formation.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying were both somewhat surprised by such methods.

Lin Zhu said, "This formation can accelerate the conversion of your own power into spiritual power. Three days should be enough."

"Thank you, Daoist Master. I do not yet know your name."

"My Taoist name is Qingzhu."

"So you are Master Qingzhu." Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying also introduced themselves.

The two then entered the formation and successfully converted their own power into spiritual energy.

After they came out, Zhu Yuanzhang became a very dignified middle-aged man, while Ma Xiuying became a noble lady with no wrinkles on her face.

Chapter 671 The Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth: The Opportunity of an Eighth Tribulation Loose Immortal

These two people make a strong first impression on others.

Lin Zhu said they were destined for greatness, which was a lie, but it was also a lucky coincidence.

"Thank you, Daoist Qingzhu." After emerging from seclusion, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "What are your plans, Daoist Qingzhu?"

Lin Zhu didn't have much interest in conquering the world, so he said, "I'll tell you about the current situation, and you can decide how to proceed."

After listening to Lin Zhu's introduction of the current situation in the Central Plains, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly had an idea; this guy's military talent was definitely not bad.

"Our plan is to first take over a small country, seize its territory, and then use it as a base to attract talent and expand in all directions."

Lin Zhu looked at Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying, a woman of both beauty and intelligence, nodded and said, "This method is feasible, but I wonder if the Daoist Master is confident in its effectiveness?"

Lin Zhu smiled and said, "With my abilities, taking a capital city is not difficult, but to win people's hearts, that depends on the two of you."

"Don't worry, Taoist priest. When we were in the mortal realm, we also managed a territory. Leave the task of winning people's hearts to me and my sister."

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite confident, then sighed and said, "It's a pity that I rushed to the mortal realm not long ago and didn't bring potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes. If I had these three things, it wouldn't have been too difficult to pacify the Central Plains."

"Oh!" Lin Zhu asked knowingly, "I wonder what those three things look like? Perhaps I know."

Zhu Yuanzhang had no hope, but he still described Lin Zhu to him.

Lin Zhu then reached out and flipped his hand, revealing three items. "Is this it?"
