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

Lin Zhu surfaced, wiped the seawater off his face, and was completely unharmed.

Now, the third and fourth levels of the Golden Bell Shield have entered a completely new stage.

His physical body has been tempered to the limit that can be achieved now.

Unfortunately, his smooth and delicate skin didn't get tanned at all, even under the scorching summer sun at sea.

However, it wasn't without results; I developed a defined eight-pack and firm pectoral muscles, and I did lose some weight.

The kind of person who looks slim in clothes but has a muscular physique when undressed.

This method of body tempering is extremely harmful to the body. If it weren't for the fact that Mingyu's Longevity True Essence could quickly heal injuries, he wouldn't dare to cultivate in this way.

Levels 3 and 4 are complete.

Because of being directly hit by the seawater, he comprehended the counter-force of the fifth and sixth levels, and this counter-force was extremely strong, almost 100% capable of countering the force of attacks from others.

The true essence carried a trace of Vajra aura, merging into the formless and intangible Bright Jade Longevity True Essence.

With a single thought, true essence can spread throughout the body, forming an extremely powerful protective aura.

The seventh level of acupoint cultivation requires using abundant true energy to open the acupoints while simultaneously retaining it in place to protect all the acupoints in the body.

This stage was internal cultivation, which was simple for him; he completed it in just one day.

The eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh levels involved internal cultivation driving external cultivation, with Mingyu's Longevity True Essence almost self-harmingly merging into her physical body.

This makes the muscles in the body as hard as steel when they are hard, and as soft as cotton when they are soft, making them impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire.

His physical strength has been greatly enhanced, and his punches, palm strikes, and kicks are extremely powerful and fierce.

Although he had achieved success in body tempering, he did not appear clumsy. He would practice the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand in his spare time, and because of his increased strength, it became even more refined.

It can be described as a perfect blend of strength and gentleness.

By this time, he had been here for more than a month, and it was already autumn.

Because of his limited skill level, even though he used a chance for enlightenment, he could only reach the eleventh level of the Golden Bell Shield.

That's the limit. To break through the twelfth level, you have to reach the pinnacle.

This almost destructive method would inevitably leave hidden injuries and cause extreme pain for ordinary people who cultivate.

Only Bodhidharma, whose Boyhood Skill was so pure and profound, possessing healing properties no less than the Longevity Formula, was able to cultivate it in such a way.

Lin Zhu was protected by Mingyu's Longevity True Essence, so he could naturally cultivate in this way. After the extreme pain, the flow of Mingyu's Longevity True Essence brought him extreme comfort.

One second you're in hell, the next you're in heaven—it's a bittersweet experience, and it's kind of addictive.

Buddhist practices are perverse; one must first torture oneself before practicing them.

Lin Zhu suddenly understood and extracted its essence. Through different paths leading to the same goal, the Golden Bell Shield became perfectly compatible with his own true essence.

He also had a clear method for breaking through the twelfth level of the Golden Bell Shield and reaching the pinnacle.

What's lacking now is simply the accumulation of skill.

This is a slow and steady process; it can't be rushed.

They either take drugs or find a place rich in spiritual energy to cultivate in seclusion.

Of course, the quickest way is to have another power infusion in the chat group; that's the simplest.

However, such good things can't happen again and again.

He also wanted to become stronger quickly, but he knew that this couldn't be rushed.

It's only been a little over three months since I transmigrated. Going from an ordinary person to a grandmaster is just too fast.

It needs to settle and consolidate further.

Actually, let alone him, even Yaoyue is still in the process of settling down.

Needless to say, Wu Xingyun hadn't practiced any internal energy cultivation in the past three months; at most, she had practiced fist and foot techniques and weapons.

Lin Zhu had been in seclusion for so long that she hadn't paid attention to the messages in the group.

At this moment, his body tempering was complete. Although only his muscles had hardened, he was still very satisfied. His reflection in the water was still extremely beautiful, but he had gained an even more heroic air.

Overall, it's even more attractive to women.

As I practiced, my charm didn't diminish; instead, it improved, and my charisma became more apparent.

Overjoyed, I opened the chat group and looked at the chat history of the women in the group over the past month.

Bai Feifei: I've brought my son to the outskirts of Xiangyang, but we haven't found Senior Dugu Sheng. Is he really here? @Lin Zhu

Chapter 76 A Different Kind of Invitation to the Moon (Bonus Chapter)

The message was from three days ago.

Lin Zhu was shirtless, and with his body relaxed, his muscles were not so prominent.

He responded to Bai Feifei.

Lin Zhu: On the mountain outside Xiangyang City, there is a place with a Bodhi snake. Follow the snake path deep into the mountains, and if you encounter a large eagle, you can ask it to lead the way. @Bai Feifei, that's all I know. If you still can't find it, then I can't help you.

At this time, Bai Feifei was inquiring about the whereabouts of the Bodhi-curved Serpent in Xiangyang City.

But she only knew the name; no one knew what kind of snake it corresponded to, which was too difficult.

Upon seeing that Lin Zhu had replied to the message, she immediately inquired.

Bai Feifei: What does the Bodhi Serpent look like? @Lin Zhu

Lin Zhu: Its body faintly emits a golden light, and it has fleshy horns on its head. It moves like the wind. There should be snake catchers nearby; you should ask them for information.

Bai Feifei (frustrated): How could I not have thought of that!

Lin Zhu: Maybe other people experience pregnancy-induced brain fog for three years, but you experience it for ten. @Bai Feifei

Zhu Qiqi: Hahahaha, pregnancy makes you stupid for ten years, that's hilarious.

Bai Feifei: You're so silly, you don't even need to get pregnant.

Zhu Qiqi was speechless after being rebuked and fell silent, feeling quite annoyed.

Feng Heng: Where did you hear that? Does pregnancy really make people stupid? @Lin Zhu

She had just given birth and was breastfeeding her youngest daughter, so she did seem a little slow in her thinking.

Huang Rong watched from the side and asked cautiously, "Mother, can I have some?" She was curious about what it tasted like.

"You silly child!" Feng Heng slapped her on the head. "When you have children in the future, you'll have your own. Your sister won't even have enough to eat."

Huang Rong pouted, "Mother, you have so much, how could it not be enough for my sister? If you don't want to, just say you don't want to."

Feng Heng felt a bit of a headache. Her younger daughter was making a fuss day and night, and her older daughter was no better.

Just then, Lin Zhu replied to the message.

Lin Zhu: I exaggerated. I won't be mentally impaired for that long, at most three months. My memory will just decline a little, but it will be fine afterward. Actually, it's more about the energy required to care for children that creates this illusion. @Feng Heng, did you give birth?

Feng Heng: Yes, I gave birth. I had a baby girl. @Lin Zhu, are you out of seclusion now?

Lin Zhu: We've passed through customs and are preparing to return to shore.

Feng Heng: Perfect timing. I'll send Rong'er to find you. Take her out into the world to gain some experience; don't let her stay home all the time. @Lin Zhu

Huang Rong: Great, I can leave the island now.

She was very happy. For some reason, Feng Heng had been looking at her with displeasure these past few days, so it would be good if he came back in a while.

Lin Zhu: I'm waiting for you at the Yuelai Inn in Qingyuan Prefecture. @Huang Rong

Huang Rong: Received. @Lin Zhu

Meanwhile, in the Yihua Palace of Xiuyu Valley in Shu, Yaoyue looked at Lianxing and asked, "Say it again, that Jiang Feng hooked up with Yue Nu?"

“Yes, sister.” Lianxing nodded.

"Fine, I kindly saved him, and he actually seduced my maid! This is intolerable! It's simply repaying kindness with enmity."

Yaoyue was furious, and the consequences would be severe. She said to Lianxing, "I must deal with them."

She was furious. She never expected that her act of kindness would save such an ungrateful wretch, and that her home would be stolen, with her personal maid being seduced by this scoundrel.

Lianxing sighed inwardly. If Jiang Feng had seduced an ordinary maid, her sister wouldn't be so angry, but it turned out to be Yue Nu.

In the main hall of Yihua Palace, Jiang Feng and Hua Yuenü, whose injuries had almost healed, were forced to kneel on the ground.

They originally planned to elope, but they were discovered, and that's how things turned out.

Inviting the Moon to sit in the main seat, she said coldly, "Jiang Feng, two months ago I saved you from the clutches of the Twelve Constellations, and this is how you repay my kindness?"

Jiang Feng gave a wry smile. "Grand Palace Master, Yue Nu and I are truly in love. I wish to marry her properly. Please grant my request." As he spoke, he looked at Yao Yue with a sincere expression, his eyes seemingly sparkling, but it wasn't intentional.

Yaoyue was completely immune to that look, and snorted coldly, "Why should I?"

Jiang Feng gave a wry smile and said, "I will always remember the life-saving grace of the Grand Palace Master. My Jiang family has nothing else but a little property. If the Grand Palace Master does not mind, I am willing to give the Grand Palace Master all the property of the Jiang family in Shu as a token of my gratitude."

Afterwards, I will formally propose marriage to Yue Nu. Yue Nu already carries the blood of my Jiang family; I humbly request that the First and Second Palace Masters grant this wish. I would be eternally grateful! If you ever need my assistance in the future, I will gladly go through fire and water for you.

Yaoyue pondered for a moment. As a wealthy family in Jiangnan, the Jiang family had considerable businesses in Sichuan.

As the mistress of Yihua Palace, there are some things she still needs to consider for the sake of Yihua Palace.

If we could acquire the Jiang family's properties in Shu, it would indeed be of great benefit to Yihua Palace. The only question is whether Jiang Feng has the final say.

"You still have a father at home. You're just going to give away such a large business like that. Can you really make that decision?"

Women like Yaoyue, as long as they aren't blinded by love, still have a clear head when it comes to their careers.

Upon hearing that there was a chance, Jiang Feng quickly cupped his hands and said, "I am the only son in my family, and I am in charge of most of the business now, so naturally I can make the decisions."

"Alright, you can leave, but Yue Nu must stay. Remember, you must formally propose marriage and marry her, otherwise..."

Yaoyue's eyes turned cold and sharp.

Jiang Feng was not surprised but delighted, and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Grand Palace Master."

Hua Yuenü kowtowed repeatedly to Yaoyue, saying, "Thank you, Grand Palace Master, thank you, Grand Palace Master."

"Alright, get up." Yaoyue's voice was still cold. She then said to Jiang Feng, "Don't wait until Yuenu is pregnant before you marry her. Hurry up, or my Yihua Palace will lose face."

She felt that Jiang Feng was barely worthy of her maid, but the fact that he was pregnant out of wedlock made her particularly angry.
