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

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. The Spirit Awakening Oranges on my body will take another seven days to ripen. Would you be willing to protect me? When the Spirit Awakening Oranges ripen, I am willing to give you 10%, which is 300 oranges in total."

One-third of the fruits can produce 300 fruits at a time.

Lin Zhu was startled at first, but then she understood.

Just think, even the lowest grade of the Queen Mother of the West's peaches of immortality are low-grade innate spiritual roots, and each time they ripen, there are about six hundred of them.

As an acquired spiritual root, it's reasonable for the Qiling Orange Tree to have a higher yield.

He looked up and saw that the tree canopy was several tens of feet in circumference, with layers upon layers of fruit.

"Did you put all your energy into the result, senior?"

Chapter 709 What a huge orange!

The Spirit-Awakening Orange Tree sighed, "I have no choice." It paused, "I have been spiritually awakened for seventy thousand years, but because I only have a low-grade acquired spiritual root, my primordial spirit can only cultivate to the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Realm, which is the limit."

If the primordial spirit cannot break through, spiritual energy will accumulate in the body. The stronger the body, the more it will suppress the primordial spirit, making it even more unable to manifest as a spirit.

Lin Zhu asked, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be difficult for you to comprehend the laws, so why can't you break through to the Golden Immortal realm? Especially with the help of merit."

The Enlightened Orange Tree did not answer immediately; instead, it emitted a golden light of merit that was unable to completely envelop its trunk.

"My merits are severely insufficient. As for the laws, although I have innate advantages, my body is too burdened, and my primordial spirit is not so compatible with heaven and earth, so I cannot comprehend them easily."

Lin Zhu thought about it and expressed her understanding, and then did not discuss the topic further.

He then inquired, "What are the effects of this Enlightenment Tangerine, Senior?"

The Spirit-Enhancing Orange Tree chuckled and said, "It doesn't have much effect. It can only increase the spiritual power in the body and has a small chance to enhance comprehension for a period of time. If ordinary people eat it, it can also cure lung diseases."

He only bears three thousand fruits every three hundred years. Each ten fruits contain the spiritual power He has accumulated in a year of cultivation. Because He has acquired spiritual roots, although they are only of low grade, each fruit can increase the cultivation of an ordinary Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal by at least one year.

Furthermore, its spiritual energy is gentle, and if not actively activated, it can remain dormant within the human body and be released slowly.

Lin Zhu thought for a moment. Three hundred pills would be enough for him to break through to the True Immortal realm, or even the Profound Immortal realm.

So he agreed to the request of the Enlightened Orange Tree to protect him.

Over the next seven days, as the Qiling tangerines on the Qiling tangerine tree gradually ripened, their sweet fragrance spread throughout the surrounding area.

During the day, the Enlightened Orange Tree can harness the power of the sun to unleash most of its own strength, deterring ordinary demons and monsters from attacking.

As for the ferocious beasts, they have low intelligence and are foolish; coming here would only lead to their deaths.

Lin Zhu didn't even need to lift a finger; the Qiling Orange Tree could handle it all on its own.

In the evenings, Lin Zhu's workload increases, and he faces opponents at the True Immortal and Profound Immortal levels.

With the Dragon Soul Sword in hand, combined with the Six Annihilation Selfless Sword Intent, Lin Zhu could easily break through the defenses of demons and monsters at the Xuanxian level.

In seven days, four Xuanxian, nine Zhenxian, and dozens of Tianxian-level demons and monsters died under the Dragon Soul Sword.

On the eighth day, the fruity aroma reached its peak.

The Spirit-Enlightening Orange Tree trembled, and three hundred golden-red rays of light floated in front of Lin Zhu. "Fellow Daoist, this is the reward I promised."

The newly fallen Qi Ling tangerines were each five times larger than a human head. He looked at these fruits and pondered how to eat them.

The other two thousand one hundred Enlightened Tangerines also landed and were caught by the flower and plant spirits.

"Eat up, increase your cultivation, and those evil spirits and demons won't dare to bully you. Cultivate to normal human form as soon as possible."

Lin Zhu unfolded his sleeves and put three hundred Enlightened Tangerines into his storage space.

The Enlightened Orange Tree looked at him and said, "Thank you for protecting me these past few days, fellow Daoist. I won't see you off."

Lin Zhu was going to leave eventually; He couldn't leave him here forever, so He took the initiative to speak.

Lin Zhu clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Qiling Orange Tree, saying, "Then I shall take my leave." He then nodded to the Orchid Spirit and the White Chrysanthemum Fairy.

During those seven days, they interacted the most with Lin Zhu.

Unfortunately, their physical forms cannot move for the time being. They need to cultivate to the level of True Immortal before they can refine their physical forms and fully manifest their human forms.

In the Pangu Realm, spirits without powerful backers face far greater challenges than demons.

Watching Lin Zhu's departing figure, the Spirit-Enhancing Orange Tree sighed, silently thinking, "I wonder when this good fortune will blossom and bear fruit."

It would take Him at least a hundred thousand to eighty thousand years to break through to the Golden Immortal realm.

Fortunately, He possessed acquired spiritual roots, thus avoiding the innate calamities and tribulations, and was far superior to ordinary cultivators, with an almost endless lifespan.

As long as you don't encounter powerful demons or evil spirits, it'll be fine.

Lin Zhu also felt that she had gotten a great deal and kept this good deed in her heart.

I just don't know when they'll see each other again.

Meanwhile, on the East Sea, in Flower Fruit Mountain, the giant ape fell into a coma for more than a year after its tail was cut off.

Over the course of more than a year, he passively absorbed innate spiritual energy, and his tail gradually grew out, while his consciousness gradually became clearer.

When he opened his eyes, the golden light was gone.

The source within him was hidden, and his consciousness in the Niwan Palace was in a daze. Three questions popped into his mind: Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?

A banana hit him on the head. He looked over and saw another monkey.

"Hey, you monkey, what are you doing? By the way, I've never seen you before?"

Upon seeing the unfamiliar monkey, the stone monkey's eyes lit up, and it took the initiative to approach and communicate with it.

He seemed to be a natural social butterfly, quickly becoming friends with unfamiliar monkeys before joining the monkey troop on Flower Fruit Mountain.

At this time, it would be about half a year before they discovered the Water Curtain Cave, and they would have to wait until the hot summer months.

After leaving the mountains and returning to the main road, Lin Zhu took a picture of the Qi Ling tangerine in the storage space and sent it to the group: Giant Tangerine·JPG, does anyone know how to eat such a big tangerine?

Bai Qian: Is it a congenital spiritual fruit? Use a concentration technique, otherwise how can it eat something this big?

Xiaoxue: Yes, using concentrated post-operative spiritual fruit will make it taste very good.

Lin Zhu: I don't know.

Xiaoxue: It's very simple, I'll upload it.

[Ding! Detected that Xiaoxue uploaded a spell condensation technique, gaining one Enlightenment Fragment. Collect 64 Enlightenment Fragments to synthesize one Enlightenment Opportunity.]

Bai Qian: You can do that too? Watch me.

[Ding! Detected that Bai Qian has uploaded a collection of basic spells from Qingqiu Mountain, covering 108 basic spells, which have been systematized. Reward: One opportunity for enlightenment.]

Bai Qian: I can go into seclusion again. When I come out next time, I must defeat that fox spirit named Honghong from Tushan.

Bai Fengjiu: Aunt, you weren't this competitive before!

Bai Qian: Hmph, she looks down on me because I come from the lower realm. I have to teach her a lesson. Enough said, I'm going into seclusion.

Lin Zhu: You don't look a lot like that Hong Hong from Tu Shan, do you?

Bai Qian: No, speaking of resemblance, I resemble her more. @Wang Yuyan

Feng Qingxue: Yet another one!

Bai Qian: By the way, she looks more like you. @Feng Qingxue

Feng Qingxue: Me? How did you know?

Bai Qian: Looking at your profile picture.

Fuqu: Hey, Qingxue, why did you use your own image as your profile picture?

Feng Qingxue: Isn't this good? I think you guys can do it too.

Bai Fengjiu: I think it's good too, let's change the profile picture.

After she changed her profile picture, Fuqu was surprised: How come you look so much like me?

Fuqu changed her profile picture.

Bai Fengjiu: This...

Li Qiushui: The world is so big, it's normal to run into a few similar people.

Chapter 710 A Spaceship Comparable to an Aircraft Carrier (Happy Lantern Festival)

While the people in the group were still discussing, Lin Zhu quickly mastered the Condensation Technique.

Condensation Technique involves using one's own spiritual power to outline a Dao pattern, thereby invoking the fundamental rules of heaven and earth to enlarge or shrink objects.

Shrinking is concentration, while enlarging is dilution.

This minor spell is somewhat similar to the Large and Small Ruyi Scepters in the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs Techniques, but it is not as good as the Large and Small Ruyi Scepters, let alone its advanced version, the Law of Heaven and Earth.

Lin Zhu took out the Enlightened Citrus and used his Condensation Technique to condense the citrus, which was the size of five human heads, into the size of a fist.

"Perfect, just right."

He peeled the Qiling tangerine peel; the peel was very thin and released a strong tangerine peel aroma that was refreshing and invigorating.

"Could this orange peel be the one that awakens the spirit?" He thought of dried tangerine peel and figured it might be useful, so he didn't throw it away but put it back into his storage space.

'Perhaps I could learn alchemy.'

Alchemy is much faster than weapon crafting.

The spiritual power in the Enlightened Orange should come from the orange peel.

Looking at the segments of fruit, the inner skin is also very thin, the color is a pure orange, and it emits a faint fruity fragrance.

Break off a segment, put it in your mouth, bite through the inner skin, and the juice explodes in your mouth. There are no pits or bits of flesh; it's the ultimate deliciousness, along with pure and peaceful spiritual energy.

Lin Zhu's eyes lit up. He stood still, circulating the boundless spiritual energy within his body, rapidly absorbing spiritual power.

After eating just one segment of an orange, his spiritual power realm, which was already on the verge of breakthrough, naturally advanced to the second level of the Celestial Immortal realm.

The surrounding innate spiritual energy surged into his body, and his physical body and soul were slightly enhanced through the tempering of the innate spiritual energy.

Spiritual power, physical body, and life soul, these three from weakest to strongest.

Lin Zhu's spiritual power cultivation is the weakest, but his physical defense is comparable to that of a ferocious beast of the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal. His true self soul is somewhat domineering. Although he cannot leave, even if a Golden Immortal's primordial spirit tries to possess him, it will only result in certain death and no way out.

Just like the Demon King Chongli, even though it's just a remnant soul, it's still the remnant soul of a Golden Immortal, an existence that has already comprehended the laws, and even a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal can possess it.
