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

Taiyi Zhenren slapped his forehead again, "I was still half asleep."

Tianpeng then looked at Lin Zhu and asked, "May I ask who this young man is?"

"Let me introduce myself." Taiyi Zhenren coughed twice. "Tianpeng, you'd better stand properly."

Tianpeng was taken aback. Although there was an element of exaggeration in Taiyi Zhenren's seriousness, it still indicated that Lin Zhu's background was not simple.

"Please speak, Uncle-Master."

Taiyi Zhenren solemnly introduced, his tone slightly raised, "This is young brother Lin Zhu, the number one disciple of the Goddess Houtu."

"So you are a disciple of the Goddess Houtu. I, Tianpeng, have been disrespectful."

Tianpeng looked at Lin Zhu and didn't misunderstand that he was a female immortal, even though he was more beautiful than Chang'e from the Moon Palace.

Lin Zhu returned the greeting, "Greetings, Marshal Tianpeng. You flatter me."

"Alright, alright, you two, stop with the formalities. Let's go to the Heavenly King's Palace to find Nezha first." Taiyi Zhenren quickly stopped the two from being polite.

If we keep going on and on with these polite formalities, when will we ever get to eat hot pot?

"Yes, yes, let's go." Tianpeng stepped aside, letting Lin Zhu and Taiyi Zhenren go first.

Master Taiyi shook his head; this was just how polite he was to his distant junior disciple.

He didn't stand on ceremony and greeted Lin Zhu, "Young brother, let's go. By the way, young brother, have you met Nezha before?"

"Yes, I met the Third Prince, Erlang Shen, and Sister Yang Chan when I was on Tianxian Island."

"You've also met Yang Jian and his sister? You and Yang Chan seem to have a good relationship."

The group chatted as they walked, and with the help of the Heavenly Court's spatial array, they quickly passed through more than ten heavens and arrived at the Heavenly King's Palace.

Outside the Hall of Heavenly Kings, there were two squads of soldiers on guard.

Upon seeing Taiyi Zhenren arrive, he quickly greeted him, saying, "Greetings to Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, greetings to Marshal Tianpeng, greetings to the Immortal."

Since they didn't recognize Lin Zhu, they could only refer to him as an immortal.

Taiyi Zhenren helped them up, saying, "No need for formalities, no need for formalities. Is Nezha here?"

"The Third Prince is in the hall. Please come in, all three of you."

The Heavenly King Hall was ten thousand feet high. The three of them entered and found many palace maids bustling about, seemingly slowly but actually quickly.

There were burn marks in one corner of the wall, with a trace of char on the red wall.

Chapter 791 Weak Water, Goddess of the Luo River

Taiyi Zhenren called out from afar, "Nezha, your master has arrived! Come out and greet me quickly!"

"You're here, so what are you yelling about?" With a flash of fire, Nezha walked slowly out of the room, hands in his pockets.

Li Jing wasn't there; he went to slay demons and monsters, just like he did back in Chentang Pass.

"You child, how rude of you!" Taiyi Zhenren said with a look of disdain, then leaned closer to Nezha and said, "How about I treat you to hot pot?"

"Eat, eat, all you ever think about is food." Nezha rolled his eyes, but swallowed hard and asked, "What are we eating this time?"

"Eat lotus root." Master Taiyi chuckled, a little embarrassed.

"Huh?" Nezha's expression turned dangerous. "What did you say?"

"Hey, it's that lotus root. What are you leaving it there if you're not going to eat it? Why are you acting like this? If you're not going to eat it, fine, but lend me the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover."

Taiyi Zhenren reached out to Nezha to ask for it.

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t eat it. It’s the lotus root from the Azure Lotus, right?” Nezha wasn’t averse to the ingredient. Although he was an incarnation of a lotus, he had been created by Nuwa, and the lotus root he used later was from the Azure Lotus.

"You're just eating hot pot, why would you need the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover?"

Taiyi Zhenren looked smug and said, "You don't know this, we plan to use the Weak Water to cook hot pot."

"The Weak Water?" Nezha's eyes lit up, then he looked at Lin Zhu and Tian Peng, "Why are you two here too?"

Lin Zhu and Tian Peng smiled at Nezha.

Taiyi Zhenren said, "You don't know this. Years ago, I gave a section of lotus root to Brother Lin Zhu, but he didn't have a chance to eat it. This time, he's treating us."

"Then the three of us can go to the Milky Way. What are you going to do there?" Nezha said, turning his back on his master. "Master, you should lose weight."

"I'm not fat, I'm just so cute I'm bloated," Taiyi Zhenren said, patting his belly in a playful manner.

Nezha turned his head and said, "Ugh~. Master, you're tens of millions of years old, do you have to be so disgusting?"

Taiyi Zhenren got angry and slammed his chubby fist into Nezha's head. "You brat, you have no respect for your teacher at all. Do you think you can just throw Weak Water and Green Lotus Root into a pot and eat it? You don't need your teacher's ingredients?"

"Tch~~, as if I can't do it." Nezha's lips curled into a smirk. "Let's go to the Milky Way and have hot pot."

"That's more like it!" Taiyi Zhenren beamed and called to Lin Zhu and Tianpeng, "You two hurry up and catch up."

The four arrived at the Tianhe Sluice Gate at an extremely fast speed.

The water above the Tianhe Sluice Gate is the Boundless Weak Water, which, when used as a soup base, creates a unique flavor.

Lin Zhu stood by the sluice gate, looking at the boundless Weak Water, and the Divine Kun Tribulation Pattern on his body lit up.

The next moment, the boundless Weak Water surged, and a woman flew out of the water, appearing in front of Lin Zhu. "Who are you, and why do you also have the power of the Weak Water?"

The Goddess of the Luo River, born from the Weak Water of the Milky Way, possesses extremely powerful strength, surpassing the Law Realm and reaching the Primordial Chaos Realm. Her true form pierces through the Thirty-Six Heavens.

At the same time, she is also one of the ten goddesses of the Heavenly Court, with a face that is sometimes cold and aloof, and sometimes gentle and warm.

Upon seeing her emerge, Tianpeng quickly cupped his hands in greeting, "Tianpeng greets the Goddess."

Taiyi Zhenren also called out, "Goddess, would you like some hot pot? Can I borrow some water from you? Hehe!"

In front of the Goddess of the Luo River, Nezha was an honest man, after all, he couldn't beat this woman. If he were unruly in front of her, he would probably be taught a lesson.

Lin Zhu cupped his hands in greeting, "I am Lin Zhu, greetings to the Goddess."

"Just call me Luo Shen." Luo Shen ignored the others and instead looked at Lin Zhu, finding him more and more handsome. Her voice and expression softened. "You still haven't explained why you possess the power of the Weak Water."

"He cultivates the Undying Body of Eternity. You must have brought down a calamity upon him to give him the power of the Weak Water."

Nezha picked his nose, but there was no nose.

"I see." Luo Shen nodded, then looked at Nezha. "Do you need to tell me? Also, don't pick your nose in front of me, or I'll beat you in front of your master."

"If you're not going to dig, then don't." Nezha turned his head away, put his hands in his inner pockets, probably because he had been wearing pants since he was a toddler and it had become a habit.

"Alright, alright, let's eat hot pot first," Taiyi Zhenren stepped in to smooth things over.

"Yes, yes, yes." Tianpeng said, waving his hand, and tables were placed in front of everyone.

Taiyi Zhenren swept his hand across the table, and a huge hot pot appeared, along with various bowls, plates, and ingredients.

"Today we're having a vegetarian hot pot. We'll have fresh bamboo shoots from Xiantian Zizhu, Qinglong cucumber, jade cabbage, ten-fragrant mushrooms, nine-stuffed white jade tofu, and our main attraction."

He looked at Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu casually took out the Azure Lotus Root and handed it to Taiyi Zhenren.

Taiyi Zhenren laughed and said, "Now everything is complete."

Nezha reached into his pocket and said, "There's also some Exploding Sun Chili Pepper."

Three fist-sized red chili peppers were placed on the table, their vibrant red color making them look very appetizing.

"Go away, go away." Taiyi Zhenren looked disgusted. "The point of vegetarian hot pot is to enjoy its freshness. The chili flavor is too strong."

As he spoke, he put the chili peppers into his personal space.

"Adding some chili makes it taste so much better! Chili is a vegetarian food too." Nezha protested, "Can't it be both spicy and savory?"

Luo Shen sneered, "You think you can just eat whatever your master says? Do you know better than him?"

"He understands, he understands, is that enough?" Nezha said, indicating that he wouldn't argue with a woman.

Taiyi Zhenren looked at Luoshen and said with a simple smile, "Goddess, please have some Weak Water."

Without saying a word, Luo Shen reached out and beckoned the Weak Water into the hot pot.

Taiyi Zhenren then instructed, "Nezha, start a fire."

"Here it comes." Nezha spat towards the bottom of the pot, and the Samadhi True Fire immediately burned fiercely at the bottom of the pot, lingering for a long time.

Before long, the Weak Water boiled.

Luo Shen deliberately sat next to Lin Zhu.

Next to Taiyi Zhenren is Nezha.

Tianpeng was even fatter than Taiyi, and he had his own spot.

"Add the ingredients." Master Taiyi chopped vegetables with his bare hands and then put various ingredients into the pot one after another.

Soon after, an incredibly fresh and delicious aroma wafted out.

Even Lin Zhu couldn't help but swallow.

Nezha asked anxiously, "Is it done yet?!"

"No rush, no rush." ​​Taiyi Zhenren said while wiping his drool, "It's still a little undercooked. It will be ready to eat in another incense stick's time."

Tianpeng was drooling so much that he almost formed a waterfall.

"It smells so good. It's so fresh."

After an incense stick had burned, Master Taiyi used serving chopsticks to pick up a slice of lotus root, placed it in the bowl, blew on it a few times, and said, "Let me check if it's cooked!"

Nezha and Tianpeng looked at him expectantly.

After eating one piece, Taiyi Zhenren chewed his lips and said, "I couldn't taste anything. I'll have another one."

"Get lost!" Nezha knew perfectly well that Taiyi Zhenren was being clever, so he quickly picked up the serving chopsticks in front of him and frantically ate the food.

Chapter 792 Houtu Wants to Intercept

Taiyi Zhenren was also anxious, "Nezha, don't eat so fast, leave some for your master."

At the dinner table, all five people picked up their chopsticks at the same time, without one of them using any supernatural powers or magic.

The hot pot is a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, crafted by Taiyi Zhenren at the behest of his junior brother Yun Zhongzi. In addition to enhancing the flavor, it also contains forbidden and restrictive magic.
