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

But it had no power to resist Lin Zhu's soul.

While absorbing the innate spiritual energy, he kept putting in the Qi-awakening tangerines and refining their spiritual power.

In just three breaths, he finished showing off this one and even let out a burp.

The Enlightened Citrus Fruit not only provides a great deal of spiritual power, but also fills the stomach.

His aura fluctuated constantly, and he soon reached the third level of the Celestial Immortal realm.

The spiritual power that a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal can condense in a year is indeed enormous, but compared to that, the spiritual power in Lin Zhu's body is much purer.

If an ordinary celestial being were to consume this, they would likely ascend directly to the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Once you reach the fairyland, each increase in spiritual power equals the total amount of the previous increases.

If one breaks through a major realm, then it will be twice as much as before.

At this moment, the spiritual power in Lin Zhu's dantian was as vast as the sea, and its total amount was comparable to that of a True Immortal at the third level, but its purity was unmatched even by a Profound Immortal.

Compared to the first level of Celestial Immortal, his current spiritual power is four times that of before.

He turned and walked towards Linjiang City, looking down at the back of his hand. The mark had disappeared. Should he go back first?

After all, it was agreed beforehand that he would travel with Xiao Fei, so that they could look after each other at Zhongbao Trading Company in Linjiang City.

He was still wearing Xiao Fei's inner armor after all, and he felt indebted to her.

So he returned the way he came, and after traveling at full speed, he returned to Wuping City a day later.

In Wuping City, the Golden Immortal General had already departed.

A day in heaven is a year on earth. Not to mention that Lin Zhu's true self and soul can conceal the secrets of heaven, even if they can't, as time goes by, no one will be able to find out about him.

Xiao Fei has returned to Zhongbao Trading Company.

The chaos in Wuping City has been resolved; she returned even faster than Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu, familiar with the place, arrived at the attic and greeted Fei Fei with clasped hands, "Sister Fei Fei, I'm back."

The attic window opened, and Xiao Fei jumped out, looking at Lin Zhu with surprise and delight. "Little brother, you're finally back! I almost thought something had happened to you."

She reached out and stroked Lin Zhu's face.

Lin Zhu hesitated for a moment, but did not dodge, and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you, Fei Fei."

"It's alright, it's good that you're back." Seeing that Lin Zhu didn't dodge, Xiao Fei's smile became even brighter, and then she said, "Wuping City is safe now, we'll leave tomorrow."

"Okay." Lin Zhu nodded, then took out three spirit-awakening tangerines and handed them to Xiao Fei. "Sister Fei Fei, these spirit fruits are some that I obtained by chance. I am now offering them to you. Please accept them."

Xiao Fei recognized at a glance that these were three acquired spiritual fruits, which were not uncommon in the Heavenly Court, but rare on Tianxian Island.

One Enlightened Citrus Fruit is worth at least half a year of her secluded cultivation, which shows that she is no ordinary Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal.

Lin Zhu didn't give her the spiritual fruit for no reason; he was also wearing Xiao Fei's inner armor.

It's about reciprocity!

Xiao Fei accepted it without hesitation, saying, "Speaking of which, I've never eaten this spiritual fruit before. It will save me half a year of hard training. Thank you very much, little brother."

Her eyes narrowed as she laughed.

The next morning, Zhongbao Trading Company's delivery team set off again.

As for the rewards for protecting Wuping City, neither Lin Zhu nor Xiao Fei mentioned them.

After leaving the city, the flying boats took off, growing larger as they faced the wind. Once they reached an altitude of over 100,000 zhang, each flying boat resembled an aerial aircraft carrier, enormous in size and moving at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.

Lin Zhu used his True Self Eye to see the structure of the flying boat. It was a mechanical art, and the array embedded in the flying boat was quite magical.

Levitation, Spirit Gathering, Spirit Transformation, Protection.

Each formation is a combination formation that can gather innate spiritual energy as its power source, enabling it to defend against attacks from demons and evil spirits at the Golden Immortal level.

These formations are all basic formations individually, but their combination is quite ingenious.

Lin Zhu became so engrossed in watching that he sat cross-legged on the deck.

Seeing this, Xiao Fei stood guard to protect him and prevent him from being disturbed.

As time passed, Lin Zhu had thoroughly understood the combination of these formations and had new ideas.

This greatly helped him upgrade the Dragon Soul Sword, the Six Harmonies Seal, and the Phoenix Harmony Zither later on.

He took three days to comprehend this, and they arrived in Linjiang City, though he didn't know how long it took.

Anyway, when he woke up, the flying boat was hovering in the air dozens of miles away from Linjiang City.

The formation of the flying boat also has a lifespan and is subject to the erosion of innate evil energy. Each time it is used, the formation master needs to repair the traces of erosion caused by the innate evil energy.

Some of the members of the Zhongbao Chamber of Commerce had some reservations about Xiao Fei's doting on Lin Zhu.

Xiao Fei transmitted her voice, saying, "If you can forge a high-grade immortal artifact within three days using your Celestial Immortal realm strength, I will also grant you this treatment."

After she said that, everyone was speechless, and then they were somewhat shocked.

Shouldn't the highest grade of immortal artifacts that a Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator can forge be mid-grade? To forge a high-grade artifact, and to do so within three days, is simply too monstrous!

When Lin Zhu woke up, he saw that the people from Zhongbao Merchant Guild were looking at him with complicated expressions.

"But what happened?"

Chapter 711 Xiao Fei's Backer (Congratulations on your fortune! Only two chapters today, not feeling well, going to bed early)

"Nothing's wrong, we've just arrived at Linjiang City and we're about to land."

Xiao Fei's tone was very gentle.

As she finished speaking, the flying boat continued its journey to Linjiang City, slowly descending several dozen feet away from the city gate, shrinking in size, and then hovering forward.

We were now within the vicinity of Linjiang City, and there was almost no danger.

After disembarking from the airship, Xiao Fei said to Lin Zhu, "Let's go first. They will deliver these goods to the trading company."

Lin Zhu nodded, "Okay."

The city walls of Linjiang City are twice as high and twice as long as those of Wuping City. The city gate is over ten zhang high and nine zhang wide, and there are many cultivators coming and going.

Because it was located in the central city, its jurisdiction covered a very wide area, and therefore its markets and neighborhoods were also extremely large.

The large number of independent cultivators in the market has negatively impacted the business of Zhongbao Trading Company.

Most of those who can open shops in the market have a skill. Although the things they sell are not high-end, the prices are more favorable than those of Zhongbao Trading Company.

If they're selling materials, they'll usually set up a stall and display the materials.

Deep within the market town lies a purification hall, dedicated to purifying the innate malevolent energy from the bodies of demons, evil spirits, and ferocious beasts.

The fee is relatively high, only 10% of the assessed value.

Alternatively, you can sell the materials directly to the Purification Hall.

Most cultivators who don't want to spend time will choose to sell the materials directly in the Purification Hall.

But some people who have time set up their own stalls.

Lin Zhu and Xiao Fei walked along, listening to the hawkers' cries and looking around.

Most of the materials were purified, including fur, bones, tendons, and chunks of meat.

Minerals are secondary; they are merely the basic materials for refining immortal artifacts, such as fire spirit iron, black ink copper, and ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood.

Immortal herbs and spiritual fruits are the rarest, and there are no spiritual fruits from acquired spiritual roots at all.

Even with Lin Zhu's True Self Eye activated, he still couldn't find any bargains.

After her wild run, Xiao Fei lost interest and said, "Let's go, let's go and report for duty first."

Lin Zhu nodded and followed Xiao Fei to the very center of the market, where the trading company was located.

In fact, only three-quarters of Linjiang City is under the control of the City Lord's Mansion, while the market area is the property of Zhongbao Trading Company.

The manager of Zhongbao Trading Company in Linjiang City was only at the Ninth Heaven Profound Immortal Realm, roughly the same strength as the city lord of Linjiang City.

Xiao Fei took out the token and threw it to the shop assistant, saying, "Go and inform your manager that Xiao Fei from the Xiao family has come to visit."

After seeing the Xiao character on the token and the special mark of Zhongbao Trading Company, the shopkeeper dared not delay and bowed to Xiao Fei, saying, "Please wait a moment, Fairy Xiao, I will go and inform her immediately."

Xiao Fei turned to Lin Zhu and said, "Let's wait a bit."

Before long, a slightly overweight, middle-aged cultivator approached. "Fairy Xiao, it's been a long time. How have you been, Senior Xiao?"

"He's doing very well." Xiao Fei clearly knew the shopkeeper. "But Ma Fusheng, have you gained weight again?"

Ma Fusheng laughed heartily, "Fairy Xiao's eyes are still as sharp as ever. She's lucky to have broken through to the sixth level." He looked at Lin Zhu, "And who is this young man?"

Xiao Fei introduced, "My newly adopted younger brother can refine high-grade immortal artifacts at the Celestial Immortal Realm. I plan to send him to Chiyun City for intensive training. He's here to visit Linjiang City now and hitch a ride on a flying boat."

Upon hearing this, Ma Fusheng was surprised, "It seems I was blind. I never expected you to have such talent in weapon crafting."

Lin Zhu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your praise, Manager Ma."

Xiao Fei added, "My younger brother only took a day and a half to refine a high-grade immortal artifact."

Ma Fusheng was taken aback. "Fairy Xiao, are you sure it's a day and a half, not a month and a half?"

Xiao Fei nodded, and Lin Zhu did not deny it either.

Ma Fusheng immediately became even more enthusiastic, "I, Ma, have truly been blind to your true worth and have been disrespectful to you both. Please come in quickly."

The group talked as they walked.

"It's a coincidence that you two arrived, but it's also a coincidence that you didn't."

Xiao Fei asked, "What do you mean?"

Ma Fusheng replied, "If you want to go to Chiyun City, you two will probably have to wait another half a year. However, our Linjiang Zhongbao Trading Company will be holding an auction in ten days. You two can come and join in the fun. We have innate materials."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What kind of material is it?"

Ma Fusheng smiled but did not answer, saying, "You two will know when you get there."

"They're keeping us in suspense. Fine, if they don't want to tell us, they don't have to. It's only ten days anyway." Xiao Fei snorted twice.

There are more than ten courtyards behind Zhongbao Trading Company. Lin Zhu and Xiao Fei were arranged in two separate courtyards.

Lin Zhu asked, "Manager Ma, do you know if there are any weapon-refining caves around here?"
