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

Well, one path to wealth is gone.

Immediately afterwards, flames rose in his hand, and he reforged the two halves of the coin.

The four characters "招财进宝" (meaning "bring in wealth and treasure") have been re-established, but compared to before, this coin has lost much of its luster and is obviously fake.

"Wow, the anti-counterfeiting measures are too good! I wonder whose doing it is." He looked up at the sky, 'Since there's a Heavenly Court, shouldn't there also be a God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, who used the Treasure-Dropping Coins to print these?'

He thought it was very likely.

Chapter 680 The Night Wanderer (Wishing you prosperity)

I lost a coin for nothing.

But Lin Zhu didn't think anything of it.

As we approached the inn, we could see the middle-aged waiter looking around from afar.

As soon as he approached, he came to greet him, "Sir, your room is ready. Would you like to dine?"

"No need, just take me to my room."

Lin Zhu followed the waiter into the inn and flicked out a coin.

The waiter quickly reached out and took it, his smile widening; this guy was a big spender.

Behind the counter was a slightly chubby shopkeeper whose eyes followed the falling money. He shoved past the waiter with a thud, "Sir, please follow me."

When greeting someone, they would extend their hand to the waiter.

One coin has a lot of purchasing power in Luoshi Town.

The pawnshop owner didn't dare cheat Lin Zhu, so he gave him almost all of his working capital. He was the richest man in Luoshi Township.

Lin Zhu asked, "What's wrong, innkeeper? Don't you want to give change? Or is it that a superior room costs one gold coin per night?"

"Haha, not at all, not at all!" The innkeeper thought he had been ripped off and looked at the money in his hand with reluctance. "Of course I'll give you change. Are you only staying one night, sir?"

“Yes, just for one night.” Lin Zhu nodded.

The shopkeeper gave the waiter a wink, signaling him to continue serving customers, while he himself rummaged through the counter, reluctantly taking out nine hundred and ninety-nine silver coins and seven hundred copper coins.

Lin Zhu took it and followed the waiter to the room.

I didn't order any food, since I wasn't hungry.

Before the waiter left, Lin Zhu gave him the seven hundred copper coins as a tip.

Whether it's Luoshi Township or Chenjiazhuang, the nights are always quiet.

Every household had their doors and windows closed, and there was no sense of human presence.

Lin Zhu could sense a spirit wandering in the sky above Luoshi Township; it was probably a night wanderer.

There was also a statue of a night-roaming deity in his room.

Since the statues in this world are believed to possess spirits, Lin Zhu did not cultivate.

He felt the statue was looking at him, so he looked over and stared directly into its eyes.

Perhaps feeling uncomfortable under Lin Zhu's gaze, the Night Wanderer descended into the statue above Luoshi Township.

"This humble god, Lin Youcai, greets you."

"My name is Lin Zhu. I greet you, fellow Daoist." Lin Zhu returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

"I am unworthy of such a title, fellow Daoist," the Night Wanderer hurriedly waved his hand. "Where do you come from, Immortal?"

"You flatter me. I am Lin Zhu, a mere rogue cultivator, unworthy of the title of Immortal." Lin Zhu was also very polite. "I only ascended to this world not long ago. Does the Night Wanderer know how it is called in this world?"

"So you're a talented individual who ascended from the lower realm." Upon hearing Lin Zhu's words, the Night Wanderer's attitude became less respectful but more affectionate.

He explained, "This realm is called the Pangu Realm, created by the great god Pangu."

Lin Zhu's heart skipped a beat. 'Isn't it the Primordial World?' Then he asked, 'Brother Youcai, are you affiliated with the Heavenly Court?'

"Young man, you actually know about the Heavenly Court!" Night Wanderer was somewhat surprised.

Lin Zhu nodded, "I heard it from a senior from Mount Shu."

"Shushan does indeed have many branches throughout the myriad realms." Night Wanderer nodded, his expression becoming respectful as he spoke of Shushan.

Lin Zhu continued, "If there is a Heavenly Court, then there should also be an Underworld."

“Not bad.” Night Wanderer nodded. “Young brother, you are clever, but the Heavenly Court and the Underworld are not to be discussed lightly. You’d better not inquire about it.”

"Understood." Lin Zhu nodded. "Thank you for your guidance, Brother Youcai. This is just a small token of my appreciation." He handed over ten coins.

The Night Wanderer's eyes light up at the sight of money; one gold coin can be exchanged for half a copper coin used for incense offerings.

As the night patrol god of Luoshi Township, his annual salary was only twelve copper coins for incense offerings.

While one coin can be used to withdraw one incense coin, there is a handling fee for the withdrawal.

Lin Youcai beamed with joy at receiving nearly half a year's extra salary.

Seeing this, Lin Zhu continued to ask, "I am new to this place and there are many things I don't know. I wonder if Brother Youcai could tell me about the surrounding area?"

Lin Youcai had received money, and Lin Zhu hadn't asked any taboo questions, so he answered all her questions without reservation.

The great city in this region is called Crimson Cloud City. Its lord is a Martial King, equivalent to a Golden Immortal, who controls a territory spanning millions of miles.

To the east lies the Chongli Mountains, where the Chongli Demon King is a demon of the Golden Immortal level.

The Chongli Mountains cover an area of ​​100,000 li, but further west there are even more extensive mountain ranges, teeming with powerful demons and monsters. It is a desolate and dangerous place, and even if a Golden Immortal were to enter, the chances of survival would not be very high.

Every so often, that mountain range would be cleared out.

The true form of the Chongli Demon King is a bird. Because of its extremely fast flight speed, it has evaded many attempts to eliminate it.

Furthermore, it is quite low-key and never ventures out of the Chongli Mountains to devour people.

But once someone enters the Chongli Mountains and is discovered by it, they will definitely not be able to get out.

Chiyun City has thirteen subordinate cities, and Wuping City is one of the nine subordinate cities of Linjiang City.

Luoshi Township is tens of thousands of miles away from Wuping City, Wuping City is more than 100,000 miles away from Linjiang City, and Linjiang City is more than 200,000 miles away from Chiyun City.

The routes between the cities are laid out in a radial pattern.

As a major city, Chiyun City faces an area even more dangerous than the Chongli Mountains.

After introducing the basic situation of the area to Lin Zhu, the Night Wanderer Lin Youcai transformed back into a divine statue and continued to wander around Luoshi Township, fulfilling his duties.

The cultivation system in the Pangu Realm is quite diverse. In addition to the Immortal Path established by the Three Pure Ones, there are also the Heavenly God Path, Earthly God Path, Martial Path, Literary Path, and Buddhism.

Because the Immortal Path system is the clearest, the Celestial God Path, Earth God Path, Martial Path, and Literary Path use the realms of the Immortal Path system as the standard to measure their own realms.

Of these six paths, the literary path is the most complex, divided into Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism, Agriculturalism, Logicians, Painters, and even Novelists.

Many cultivators in the Pangu Realm considered the three families as representatives of the literary path.

Martial arts are also divided into two categories.

One is the way of martial arts for people, the other is the way of martial arts for soldiers.

Human martial arts cultivate oneself, while military martial arts cultivate military formations, but the two are not clearly distinct.

Lin Zhu felt that this Pangu Realm must be very exciting.

There's just one thing: the innate malevolent energy and the three calamities and nine misfortunes are too unbearable.

At midnight, Lin Zhu closed his eyes and meditated, without engaging in any cultivation.

Suddenly, a bird's cry was heard, and a fiery bird, afflicted by malevolent energy, swooped down from the sky, about to plunge headfirst into the residential area.

As ferocious beasts, they instinctively attack creatures that are not affected by innate malevolent energy.

If a ferocious beast consumes enough people, spirit beasts, or demons, it can regain its intelligence and evolve into a demon.

Demons can also lose their intelligence by constantly eating people, thus preventing themselves from being affected by innate evil energy during their cultivation.

The two sides are in a hostile relationship.

This Fiery Bird is merely a low-level ferocious beast, with strength around the Void Transformation Realm.

It flew into the protective barrier of the sacred path in Luoshi Township, immediately attracting Lin Youcai's attention. "Little bird, how dare you be so presumptuous?"

Chapter 681 Arrival in Wuping City (Good Luck Continues)

A golden flame flashed, and before the Firebird could even be properly burned, it was consumed by the divine fire, turning into charcoal before falling with a "bang" onto the street behind the inn, quite a distance away.

When Lin Zhu was in the Chenxuan Realm, he cultivated his eyes into spiritual eyes, which not only allowed him to see far but also to see through objects.

At the same time, they can see things that ordinary cultivators cannot see.

A martial arts master flew out, put away the Firebird, cupped his hands in greeting to the Night Wanderer, and his body rippled with spiritual energy, indicating that he was communicating with the Night Wanderer telepathically.

This happened in just one night.

The next day, before dawn, Lin Zhu heard the sound of gongs and drums.

He got up and opened the window, and saw the villagers carrying three statues of gods in a procession.

Each person held a specially made incense stick in their hand, and after respectfully worshipping, they placed it in the incense burner.

The white incense smoke produced after the incense burns is absorbed by the statue of the deity.

In Lin Zhu's eyes, the statue possessed divinity.

They absorbed the power of incense offerings and prayers; some of it transformed into a protective divine shield covering the entire village, while the rest disappeared without a trace.

In short, none of the incense offerings and prayers they absorbed were their own.

They receive a fixed salary.

At most, the more incense offerings and prayers they collect, the higher their divine status will be, and they will receive a higher salary.

They sensed Lin Zhu's gaze and reacted in different ways.

The Dragon King of the Well and the Day-Roaming God snorted coldly, while the Earth God and Earth Goddess were good-natured.

The Kitchen God and the Door Gods will not participate in this parade.

The Dragon King of the Well, the Day-Roaming God, the Night-Roaming God, and the Earth God and Earth Goddess are guardians of the village and the town, while the Door God and the Kitchen God are guardians of the home.
