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

Lin Zhu reached out and tossed the flying sword to him, "Here it is!"

Both of them were rather impolite.

Master Qi reached out and took the flying sword, then looked at it and froze.

His eyes widened. The flying sword before him was indeed a top-grade immortal artifact. The scattered dots on the surface of the sword formed closely related array patterns, thus enhancing the quality of the flying sword.

He looked up at Lin Zhu and asked, "How did you do that? This refining technique is incredibly exquisite, and the array patterns and Dao patterns on it seem to have been created by nature."

Lin Zhu said, "That's easy, anyone with hands can do it."

Master Qi was taken aback and looked at Lin Zhu, feeling a strong dislike for him.

What does it mean to say that anyone with hands can do it?

He then understood that it was only natural for Lin Zhu not to reveal such weapon-refining techniques.

He ignored Lin Zhu and instead carefully examined the room to see if Lin Zhu had added any other ingredients.

As he continued his inspection, he actually discovered a problem.

Chapter 688 The Female Shopkeeper

He didn't see the light jade marrow, but he could feel that the entire sword was filled with the aura of light jade marrow, especially the array patterns formed by the scattered dots.

"How did you do that?" Master Qi was clearly excited.

Lin Zhu thought for a moment, not knowing how to say it, when a sudden idea came to him. A piece of ore appeared in his hand, which he melted and solidified.

With a hammer made of the power of his life soul, the natural Dao patterns within were hammered out.

Then he handed the refined ore to Master Qi and said, "That's it."

Master Qi was stunned. He mechanically reached out and took the ore. After a long silence, he said, "This, how is this possible? This doesn't make sense! Is it really possible to do this just by having hands?"

He could sense that Lin Zhu had transformed into a hammer with his spiritual power, and with just one strike, the natural Dao patterns were formed.

Looking at Lin Zhu again, he felt like something was wrong with him.

They're both weapon refiners, so why is there such a big difference between them?

Seeing the shock on Master Qi's face, Lin Zhu did not explain the underlying principle.

Should I tell him that it's because his true self and soul can see through the essence of matter to a certain extent, thus fundamentally changing matter?

Hongyin opened her mouth. Those three materials, which could at most be used to refine a mid-grade immortal artifact, were actually refined by Lin Zhu into a high-grade immortal artifact without any cheating.

Lin Zhu looked at Master Qi and asked, "I wonder if I have passed the test?"

Master Qi really wanted to hit someone. If this isn't up to standard, then who is?

In less than two days, he was able to refine three materials that could at most be made into a mid-grade immortal artifact into a high-grade immortal artifact. Even he couldn't do that.

This person is practically a born master of weapon crafting.

"Not only are you qualified, but you're also inferior to me in weapon crafting. Go to Crimson Cloud City; that's where you can truly showcase your talents."

As he spoke, he took out a token, thought for a moment, and said, "Would you like to go by yourself, or with our caravan?"

He sensed that Lin Zhu's demonstrated strength was not simple either.

After thinking it over, Lin Zhu felt it would be safer to go with the caravan, so he asked, "When will the caravan depart?"

Master Qi looked at Hong Yin. He was focused on refining weapons and didn't know much about the caravan's situation.

Hongyin replied, "In response to you both, the caravans communicate once a year, and the next one will be in seven months."

"Young friend Lin, what do you think?" After seeing Lin Zhu's weapon-refining skills, Master Qi addressed him much more politely.

Lin Zhu thought for a moment, realizing that he still needed time to upgrade his Dragon Soul Sword, and then said, "Then in seven months."

"Alright!" Master Qi turned to Hongyin and asked, "Does the caravan have any Xuanxian realm cultivators escorting them?"

"Yes, there is." Hongyin nodded, her attitude becoming even more respectful.

Lin Zhu has been confirmed as a weapon refiner at Zhongbao Trading Company, and his status is higher than hers, so naturally she should be more respectful.

"That's good." Master Qi looked at Lin Zhu, cupped his hands and said, "Welcome to Zhongbao Trading Company, young friend Lin. Please accept this token. You can go to the manager later to learn about the history of our Zhongbao Trading Company, the obligations of the weapon refiners in the company, and the rights you can enjoy."

Lin Zhu accepted the token. As a newcomer, joining Zhongbao Trading Company was a good idea.

A merchant guild is always more flexible than a sect.

Afterwards, he and Hongyin left the cave.

Master Qi took away that top-grade immortal sword, ostensibly to study it, but in reality, he wouldn't discover anything. It was Lin Zhu's true self-nature soul talent.

After ascending to the ground via a mechanism, Lin Zhu was led by Hong Yin to an attic behind the trading company.

"Shopkeeper, Hongyin requests an audience."

"Come in!" A lazy voice came from the attic, giving people a soft and pleasant feeling.

The manager of the Zhongbao Trading Company's small branch is a woman.

The door to the first floor of the attic opened automatically, a flash of red light appeared, and a woman in red revealed her true appearance.

This woman was dressed in a red gauze dress, with a phoenix hairpin in her hair. Her face was exquisite and alluring, and just looking at her face was enough to make one's heart flutter.

Her figure was incredibly eye-catching; her slender waist was half-exposed and half-hidden under the gauze dress, and the fabric in front of her chest looked as if it was about to burst.

She was tall and slender, not much shorter than Lin Zhu, but unfortunately her skirt was not very sheer, so it was impossible to tell how long her legs were.

Judging from the position of his waistline, his legs probably outlive him.

As Lin Zhu sized her up, she was also sizing him up. "Fellow Daoist, won't you reveal your true form?"

Lin Zhu was slightly surprised. How did this shopkeeper figure it out?

Could it be that he's bluffing me?

In just a moment, he dismissed the idea; there was no need for it.

Then his expression changed, revealing his true appearance, and the spiritual energy in his eyes disappeared. "I am Lin Zhu, greetings, shopkeeper."

Hongyin then saw Lin Zhu's true face.

The shopkeeper in red was stunned for a moment, then a necklace he was wearing on his chest was activated, and a cool sensation went straight to his head.

He regained full consciousness, but dared not look directly at Lin Zhu.

"I am Xiao Fei. I greet Fellow Daoist Lin. You may call me Fei Fei from now on." Xiao Fei's heart beat a little faster, and then she looked at Hong Yin. "Go to the front and greet the customers. I will remember your credit for recommending Fellow Daoist Lin."

Hongyin blushed and came to her senses. She quickly bowed to Xiao Fei and Lin Zhu and said, "This subordinate takes her leave."

As he spoke, he took several dozen steps back before reluctantly turning away.

Xiao Fei knew about what had happened in the cave, but she never expected Lin Zhu to look like this. She was even more pure and beautiful than the fox spirits of the Pangu Realm.

She said to Lin Zhu, "Fellow Daoist Lin, please come up with me."

The two were already inside the attic. When Lin Zhu saw that Xiao Fei wanted her to go upstairs, she hesitated and said, "Isn't that inappropriate? After all, the upstairs is the manager's boudoir."

"We are all practitioners of Taoism and martial arts, why be so particular about such trivial matters?" Xiao Fei said in a very magnanimous manner.

Lin Zhu couldn't see through Xiao Fei's strength, but he sensed a greater threat from her than that posed by Master Qi.

In other words, Xiao Fei's strength is likely at the level of a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal.

"If the shopkeeper has anything to say, it would be more appropriate to do so here."

Although the woman in front of him was an absolute beauty, Lin Zhu was not tempted in the slightest.

Seeing this, Xiao Fei thought to herself, "What a beautiful person. It seems I won't be able to get anything out of him." So she didn't insist and walked down the stairs.

He casually took out a jade slip and a token. "This is the information you need, as well as the key to your temporary residence in Wuping City. As for your house in Wuping City, just leave it to us."

"Very well!" Lin Zhu took out the token from the courtyard and handed it to Xiao Fei, then asked, "May I borrow the merchant guild's weapon-refining cave?"

“You’re already a weapon refiner at the merchant guild, so of course you can.” Xiao Fei leaned closer, less than a foot from Lin Zhu, her breath brushing against his face as she spoke. “What would you like to refine, fellow craftsman? By the way, as a high-level Yellow-rank weapon refiner, you get a 30% discount on materials purchased at the merchant guild!”

Chapter 689 The Extraordinary Xiao Fei

Lin Zhu took a step back. "Thank you for informing me, shopkeeper. I do indeed need some more materials."

Seeing Lin Zhu's reaction, Xiao Fei became even more interested in him and pressed on, "Then I will guide Fellow Daoist Lin."

As he spoke, he disregarded Lin Zhu's feelings and pulled her arm into his chest.

Lin Zhu felt the breadth of this exquisite beauty's heart, and when he tried to pull his hand away, he felt her strength.

Is this necessary?

He sighed inwardly, but Xiao Fei pulled him away, and they appeared on the top floor of Zhongbao Trading Company.

Seeing that Lin Zhu had been very cooperative throughout the journey, Xiao Fei whispered in his ear, "Fellow Daoist Lin, the materials here are all top-notch in Wuping City. If there's anything you like, feel free to choose it. Consider it a welcome gift to welcome you to Zhongbao Trading Company."

"This isn't good!" Lin Zhu looked around and immediately spotted something he wanted: a piece of Wutu Xirang.

Xiao Fei, with her keen senses, followed Lin Zhu's gaze and covered her mouth with a smile, saying, "Fellow Daoist has excellent eyesight; this Wutu Xirang is indeed quite good."

She reached out, took it, and handed it to Lin Zhu, saying, "Here you go!"

Lin Zhu thought that it was her insistence on giving it to her, so she accepted it. "Thank you, shopkeeper."

Xiao Fei's smile grew even brighter. "I can only ask you for one type of material. If you want the rest, you'll have to buy them yourself."

"Understood." Lin Zhu nodded. He was worried that Xiao Fei would give him some gift again, which would mean he would have to sleep with her.

Although Xiao Fei was also a virgin, Lin Zhu said that she was not a casual person, and it was still too fast.

He looked down at his arm.

Xiao Fei said resentfully, "What, you don't recognize the gift I just gave you?"

Lin Zhu knew this gift wouldn't be easy to receive. Since Xiao Fei wanted to hug him, he let her hug him, treating it as a massage.

"Isn't this because I was worried it would be inconvenient for you, shopkeeper?" he said, walking forward.

Xiao Fei tightened her grip on Lin Zhu's arm and followed, thinking to herself, 'I don't believe you can resist!'

She had a vague feeling that if she could cultivate with Lin Zhu, it would greatly benefit her cultivation.

Even if it's not possible now, it can be possible in the future.
