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

Lin Zhu nodded, then said, "Is the matter that Her Majesty wants to convey related to the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi?"

“That’s right. Zhen Yuanzi has gone to Chaos, so there’s no one in charge of Wuzhuang Temple to receive the pilgrimage team. That’s why we need you to go there, impersonate Zhen Yuanzi, and complete this trial. However…”

Houtu paused for a moment.

Lin Zhu asked, "But what?"

Houtu switched legs and said, "Pound here."

Houtu continued, "The merits of this ordeal will all go to Wuzhuang Temple, but you will also receive a reward. How many of the ginseng fruits are left from this batch will all be yours. Furthermore, after your journey to the West, you will be able to comprehend the Daoist essence of the ginseng fruit."

Lin Zhu's eyes lit up, and he pressed harder.

This is such a pleasant surprise!

Then he received a tap on the head, "You child, your character is still lacking."

Lin Zhu chuckled, "Your Majesty is right."

Houtu shook her head, her expression full of doting, and said, "I never expected you could do this. You have one-tenth of the fortune of the Southern Continent, and you can still befriend Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie. Even Tang Sanzang is convinced by you. You can say that you have effectively sidelined Buddhism."

Lin Zhu was a little embarrassed and said, "It's all thanks to Your Majesty."

Houtu nodded. "That makes sense. After all, you are my disciple, just without the formal master-disciple relationship."

Lin Zhu's heart stirred slightly; should he become an apprentice?

Houtu clearly saw through him, and tapped his head again, saying, "Don't even think about becoming my disciple. I have no intention of taking on any apprentices."

Lin Zhu immediately dismissed the idea.

Houtu continued, "Ksitigarbha has come to me for help. He has made contributions and endured hardships in the underworld over the years, and Buddhism is willing to pay a price. You don't need to participate in the White Tiger Ridge ordeal. I will arrange a satisfactory place for you then, and you can rejoin the team after that ordeal is over."

Lin Zhu agreed without hesitation, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Houtu was satisfied with this and pinched Lin Zhu's cheek, "You child, why did you agree so quickly? Aren't you afraid that I will sell you?"

Lin Zhu shook her head, "Your Majesty will not."

Houtu immediately smiled brightly, and the entire Samsara Palace became incredibly bright. Purple lotuses bloomed everywhere in the underworld, and even the resentment of some vengeful spirits disappeared directly, allowing them to be reincarnated immediately.

"You're so lovable." She pulled her legs together, stood up, and took Lin Zhu's hand. "Come with me."

The two of them standing together really looked like an adult with a human cub.

Lin Zhu obediently followed, took a step forward, and arrived in another world, which was actually the cave heaven inside the Samsara Palace.

The first thing you see is Hua Qiangu tending to rare and exotic plants amidst a sea of ​​flowers, a pure and innocent smile on her face.

Looking up, Houtu was walking towards them, holding Linzhu's hand.

She was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness, Brother Xiaozhu?"

Lin Zhu greeted her with a smile, "Little Bone, it's been a long time."

Chapter 984 Lin Zhu's Certification

Hua Qiangu was pleasantly surprised to see Lin Zhu and Hou Tu appear. She ran forward and then stopped.

"Brother Xiaozhu, what brings you here?"

Houtu was a little jealous: "Little Bone, you're not usually this happy to see me."

Hua Qiangu said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Your Majesty, it's just that I haven't seen Brother Xiaozhu for a long time!"

"You!" Houtu shook her head, then said, "I have something to tell you, so come with me."

After saying that, the light of reincarnation enveloped Lin Zhu and Hua Qiangu, and they appeared in the main hall of a palace.

Wu Xingyun and Zhao Min remained in childlike form on either side of the palace, meditating cross-legged.

Sensing the movement, they opened their eyes, and the first thing they saw was not the tall Houtu, but Lin Zhu.

At first they were stunned, then surprised, and then they tacitly agreed to grow up.

Then a cough was heard, and Houtu said sternly, "Child, go and fetch some fruit."

Wu Xingyun and Zhao Min were forced to revert to their childhood forms, and said with mournful faces, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Perhaps because of his close relationship with Houtu, Wu Xingyun cultivated particularly quickly in the first stage of the Law Realm, and at this time he has reached the eighth level of the first stage of the Law Realm.

Zhao Min also broke through to the Law Realm, the third level of the Law Realm.

Lin Zhu looked at them with sympathy, feeling that Hou Tu was quite mischievous, even though she was such a grown-up.

A moment later, the two men brought up a plate with fruits that were a mix of purple and gold.

It is perfectly round, with a peel that resembles dragon scales and the edges of the scales that look like they are inlaid with gold.

Houtu said, "This is a low-grade Chaos Spiritual Root that I obtained by chance in the Chaos many years ago, the Purple Gold Lychee. The first batch has recently ripened, so please try it."

Then, a burst of golden light was unleashed, and all the members of the Law Realm group in the Samsara Palace were present.

They were all pleasantly surprised to see Lin Zhu.

Houtu coughed twice more, "Look at you all, you're all so useless."

The women bowed their heads and then greeted the Empress.

"Alright, everyone, sit down." Houtu was too lazy to say anything to them, and seats appeared one by one.

The table is a large purple lotus pedestal, and the cushion is a small purple lotus pedestal.

"Xingyun, distribute the fruit. One fruit per person. Don't eat too much, or you might accidentally make yourself sick."

It's not that Houtu is stingy.

The Purple Gold Lychee ripens by absorbing chaotic energy, and its spiritual power is not as docile as that of the Ginseng Fruit and the Peaches of Immortality; on the contrary, it is somewhat aggressive.

If these people hadn't all reached the Law Realm, Houtu wouldn't have dared to feed them.

Compared to top-grade innate spiritual roots, the Purple Gold Lychee has a very high yield, with one tree producing approximately 100,000 fruits.

The spiritual power of each lychee seemed to be much stronger than that of a nine-thousand-year-old peach.

Wu Xingyun and Zhao Min distributed the purple lychees one by one with twitching lips, and then looked at Houtu with a hint of resentment in their eyes.

It was only because they had spent a lot of time with Houtu that they knew her personality was like that of an older sister, which gave them the courage to look at her with such eyes.

Houtu pretended not to see it, arranged a seat on either side of Lin Zhu, and then said, "You may sit down as well."

"Hmm?" The two men's eyes lit up, and they smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Houtu shook her head and then said, "This is also my first time eating this fruit. Let's try it together."

As she spoke, she peeled off the skin, revealing the translucent, seedless flesh inside.

To her surprise, the fruit pulp released a more terrifying spiritual power than she had previously sensed as soon as it was exposed to the air.

"Wait!" she quickly stopped everyone. "Don't eat yet, let me try it first."

As he spoke, he bit into the fruit, and its sweet taste filled his mouth, the cool sensation going straight to his lungs.

But once the fruit is in your stomach, the cool sensation instantly transforms into an extremely hot energy.

Feeling the explosive power within, Houtu sighed, reached out and retrieved the Purple Gold Lychee, then gave them all to Lin Zhu, saying, "Their cultivation levels are too low, you can keep these fruits for yourself."

The women blinked, wondering what was going on.

Houtu explained, "Actually, I should have realized that a fruit that only bears fruit once every 100,000 years, and is a spiritual root that absorbs the power of chaos, should not contain such weak power. If you eat it, you will probably reach the third realm of law immediately, which will destroy your foundation."

Lin Zhu exclaimed in surprise, "So, this one fruit is equivalent to a Nine-Turn Golden Pill?"

"Not bad." Houtu laughed, "It takes 100,000 years to produce 100,000 fruits of the Nine-Turn Golden Pill level. It seems my luck is not bad either."

He paused for a moment and then said, "You shouldn't eat for now either. After we leave Wuzhuang Temple, you can use it to replenish the energy that has been used to cleanse your body."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lin Zhu collected all the purple lychees, a total of thirty-seven, despite the women's glares that seemed to want to devour him.

Houtu continued, "Little Bamboo, Qingfeng and Mingyue from Wuzhuang Temple are assisting Hongyun in her cultivation in the underworld. Which of them do you think is suitable? Choose two to go and impersonate Qingfeng and Mingyue."

Lin Zhu made his choice after just one glance.

Seeing their expectant eyes, he said, "It's Sister Ni Chang and Sister Si Niang."

"Oh?" Houtu asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why choose them so quickly?"

She couldn't see anything special about these two women that made Lin Zhu make such a quick decision.

Lin Chaoying and Zhao Min, on the other hand, reacted quickly and accidentally burst out laughing.

Houtu looked at the two of them and said, "Why are you laughing? Minmin, you tell me."

Zhao Min replied, "Your Majesty, it's probably because Lian Ni Chang and Feng Si Niang are both quite feisty."

"Huh?" The two women were unwilling and looked at Zhao Min, as if to say, "You better explain yourself."

Houtu ignored that look and asked Lin Zhu, "Is that so?"

Lian Ni Chang and Feng Si Niang turned their gazes to Lin Zhu, awaiting his answer.

His eyes were sharp as knives.

Lin Zhu forced a smile and said, "Sister Ni Chang and Sister Si Niang's personalities are more likely to provoke Wukong, so we need them to curse. The more offensive the curse, the better."

The women couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Now that Lin Zhu has certified them, the two of them are bound to be ridiculed in the future, which makes them very angry.

Houtu smiled slightly, then added to Lin Zhu's relief, "Each person who goes will receive a ginseng fruit. The ginseng fruit has a mild medicinal effect. After taking it, if you cultivate diligently, breaking through to the third realm of laws within ten thousand years is not a problem."

Lian Ni Chang and Feng Si Niang's eyes lit up. This was great news!

'Little Bamboo has excellent taste.'

Their gazes softened immediately.

Wanwan quickly replied, "Your Highness, Wanwan can go too."

You Ruo said, "I can too."

Biyao: "It's not that I can't do it."

Liu Ruoxin: "Isn't it just swearing? I'll join in too."

With the temptation of ginseng fruit, they all volunteered.
