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

In the capital, opening an inn would surely bring great business.

Upon arriving in the capital, Li Dazui unexpectedly encountered Cao Shaoqin from Nanlaiwang, who looked exactly like his master, and immediately mistook him for his master.

Cao Shaoqin had vaguely heard that his elder brother Zhuge Kongfang had taken on a disciple in Guanzhong, and upon seeing Li Dazui, he knew it was him.

Cao Shaoqin's original surname was not Cao; he only took the surname Cao after he recognized a godfather.

He suggested that Li Dazui go with him to Nanlaiwang to learn, so as not to tarnish his elder brother's reputation as the God of Cookery in Beijing.

At this moment, Cao Shaoqin was also competing on stage, in the north section.

The audience was noisy, but it didn't affect the chefs on stage.

Hundreds of stoves cook together, and the aromas blend together, creating a mouthwatering fragrance that tantalizes the senses.

The entire Great Zhou Dynasty is vast, with a population of over one billion. After rigorous selection, 256 renowned chefs were chosen, all of whom possess exceptional culinary skills.

Suddenly, a golden light shone, and a childish voice rang out, "Panda Mapo Tofu is complete!"

"Wait, who is this kid? Why are his dishes glowing?"

Li Dazui asked in surprise.

Many others share the same question as him, including Lin Zhu.

"No, are there really vegetables that glow?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"It's spiritual energy. He incorporated spiritual energy into the dishes, which is why they have this effect," said a somewhat disheveled old man behind Lin Zhu.

He was a burly man, holding a wine jug in his hand. Looking at the light on the display stand, he couldn't help but marvel at it.

On stage, the renowned chefs, seeing this, felt that this kid lacked sportsmanship. It was just a preliminary round, why was he shining so brightly?

Why not use your trump card in the finals?

Because of this light, some of the chefs with weaker mental fortitude trembled slightly, their hearts skipped a beat, and they knew they had no chance of advancing.

Paoding and the others remained calm, thinking it was just a preliminary round and they didn't need to go all out.

Saving your energy for later is the best choice.

"Spiritual energy can be incorporated into dishes like this!" Lin Zhu felt that this was indeed a world of high martial arts, and then turned to look behind him.

The old man was surprised when he saw Lin Zhu. "Wow, a Grandmaster at the age of fourteen! Your talent is amazing!"

The people around Lin Zhu turned around and looked at Lin Zhu with a hint of a smile in their eyes. They had been mistaken for someone else again.

The old man in front of them was clearly a master, after all, he could tell at a glance that Lin Zhu's realm was at least that of a Celestial.

As for why it wasn't obvious he was a man, it can only be said that his appearance was too deceptive.

Chapter 118 Zhang Sanfeng (Bonus Chapter)

Looking at the disheveled old man, Lin Zhu thought he was just an ordinary person and couldn't see anything wrong with him.

But for some reason, a name suddenly popped into my mind: Zhang the Sloppy.

Combined with what Lu Xiaofeng had said earlier that Zhang Sanfeng would also be coming, he immediately recognized his identity.

"Old immortal, I am a man, not a little girl."

"Oh?" This person is indeed Zhang Sanfeng. He is always very slovenly in public, and only pays attention to his appearance when there are important occasions at Wudang.

Although he was sloppy, he was messy but not dirty; he was the kind of person who didn't care about his appearance.

After carefully examining Lin Zhu and sensing his aura, I found that he indeed possessed a strong amount of pure Yang energy.

Only then did he realize he had misread it, and felt a little embarrassed. "This old Taoist priest is blind and didn't see it. However, you young man are indeed too handsome, so you can't blame this old Taoist priest!"

He chuckled, his large belly protruding as if he were six months pregnant.

Don't be fooled by his large belly; it's not from being overweight, but rather from the support of his inner strength. His power is so profound and refined that he's easily among the top five in the world, if not the best.

Only Lin Zhu recognized him; no one else would have guessed that this disheveled old man was the old immortal of Wudang Mountain, who wasn't even wearing a Taoist robe.

Then everyone looked at him, wondering why Lin Zhu called him the Old Immortal.

Zhang Sanfeng asked, "Young man, how did you recognize this old Taoist priest?"

"You recognized my level of understanding at a glance, and I recently heard from Lu Xiaofeng that you were coming. Also, don't you have the nickname 'Zhang the Sloppy'? Putting all that together, I guessed it."

Lin Zhu said with a smile, looking at Zhang Sanfeng with curiosity in his eyes. This man is truly legendary.

"Haha, I didn't expect there would be a junior like you in the martial arts world who knows me, Zhang the Sloppy! Not bad! Not bad! Young man, would you like to learn Tai Chi? I'll teach you!"

The more he looked at Lin Zhu, the more pleasing he became, and then he wanted to teach him some skills.

"Is it possible?" Lin Zhu was intrigued. Could the Tai Chi taught by Zhang Sanfeng be the same as the ones outside? No, it's different. There's a difference between having the true meaning of Tai Chi and not having it.

“Why not?” Zhang Sanfeng looked at the others behind him. “You can all learn it. I created Tai Chi Chuan so that people could learn it. Come on, it’s too uncomfortable to just look and not eat. Let’s go outside the city now.”

He can do whatever he wants now.

Zhang San Niang and the other women, as well as Chu Liuxiang, Jing Ke, and Jing Tianming, only then realized who this person was. A true immortal was standing in front of them, yet they hadn't recognized him.

Should I learn Tai Chi? Of course I should!

They all nodded in agreement.

"Then let's go!" Zhang Sanfeng waved his sleeve, and a mysterious power enveloped them. In no time, they arrived outside the capital.

The whole process was silent and unnoticed; no one even noticed their disappearance.

On stage, the little devil had already brought out the Panda Mapo Tofu for the four judges to taste.

"Please, gentlemen, try this. It's my Panda Mapo Tofu!"

While they were enjoying the delicious food, Zhang Sanfeng was teaching Lin Zhu and the others Tai Chi outside the city.

It doesn't involve channeling true energy, but rather pure techniques combined with the essence of Tai Chi.

As everyone watched, they felt as if a Tai Chi diagram was unfolding before them, and the higher the talent, the more obvious the Tai Chi diagram became.

In fact, all Lin Zhu could see was the Tai Chi diagram spinning in a chaotic manner; there was nothing else in front of him.

A Tai Chi diagram appeared out of thin air in his eyes, and the formless true essence within his body instantly transformed into two streams, one black and one white, which flowed simultaneously through his meridians, connected end to end, endlessly generating life.

After a full cycle, it returns to the dantian, yet it is formless and without substance, without self or form, and Taiji transforms into Wuji.

However, after merely experiencing the true meaning of Tai Chi, the true essence within his body completely merged into one, transforming into the Limitless True Essence, achieving true emptiness.

In an instant, he felt that he had reached another realm. The bottleneck to the pinnacle was gone, and all that remained was the accumulation of skill.

Zhang Sanfeng had already withdrawn his fist and was observing everyone's reactions.

Among them, Jing Tianming learned the fastest and had already started practicing Tai Chi on the spot, showing a great deal of Tai Chi essence. This made him very satisfied, and he felt that this boy's talent was no less than that of his grand-disciple Zhang Wuji.

Then there's Chu Liuxiang, who seems to have been forced to comprehend it.

Zhang San Niang, Su Rongrong, Li Ji, Song Tian'er, and Li Hongxiu were a bit lacking. It's not that they lacked comprehension, but they were simply not suited for Tai Chi.

Next was Jing Ke, who simply didn't understand. He was an assassin, and his motto was to kill with a single blow; he couldn't grasp the true meaning of Tai Chi at all.

However, seeing that his son had truly mastered the skills, he still smiled and followed suit.

It doesn't matter if he hasn't grasped the true meaning of Tai Chi, as long as he has memorized the moves. Practicing Tai Chi more often can also improve his health, right?

But what truly astonished Zhang Sanfeng was Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu didn't practice his punches like the others. Instead, he stared blankly ahead, his aura flickering, as if he were about to die at any moment.

But Zhang Sanfeng saw through his deception. 'Have I really encountered a deity? What kind of monster have I run into today? I only exchanged one punch with this little fellow, and he's already at the pinnacle of cultivation?'

He sensed something extraordinary within Lin Zhu's body—the Limitless True Essence.

It should be noted that he created the Nine Heavens True Scripture and practiced it to the last level of the ninth chapter, but it was only the Return to the Primordial Truth, meaning his power was slightly stronger than Lin Zhu's.

Lin Zhu is the Limitless True Essence, and he is the Limitless True Power.

Right now, this kid is even more like his own apprentice than his own, and he even wants to take him on as a disciple.

But in the end, they didn't accept him. The best master for this little guy was heaven and earth; no one else was qualified to take him as a disciple.

Isn't he just like that himself?

Looking at Lin Zhu again, he nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with admiration.

"I never expected this! I just came out for a stroll to clear my head, and I've already met such a talented young friend. This trip has been truly worthwhile!"

Suddenly, Lin Zhu moved, raising his hands in a stance, revealing the true meaning of Tai Chi. He was only slightly inferior to Zhang Sanfeng, having also reached the pinnacle of his skill.

Once you fully grasp the true meaning of Tai Chi, there are no specific moves or techniques in Tai Chi Chuan; you can fight however you want, as you please.

The Tai Chi energy surrounds the body, and the entire body is filled with Tai Chi diagrams, as if sealed off.

His speed may seem slow, but it is actually extremely fast.

It's more accurate to call it Tai Chi Chuan than Tai Chi Chuan; it's a different style of martial arts that carries the true essence of Tai Chi Chuan.

Go as fast as you can, or go as slow as you can.

The moves are sometimes simple, returning to the basics.

Sometimes intricate, sometimes a profusion of flowers.

No one knows what move they'll make next.

"Hiss, this is the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand of the Free and Unfettered Sect!" Zhang Sanfeng tugged at his beard, feeling that the fusion with the true meaning of Tai Chi was very incongruous and uncomfortable to look at.

Seeing that Lin Zhu was about to wake up, he took a look at her.

He didn't use his internal energy; it was just a simple test.

As soon as I felt him get close, my hand was torn apart by a Tai Chi-like force, and I couldn't break free.

Immediately afterward, Lin Zhu made a swift move, grabbed him, and was about to exert force.

"Wake up!" Zhang Sanfeng shouted, his voice like a morning bell and evening drum, jolting him awake.

Lin Zhu opened his eyes and, seeing this, quickly released his hand, saying, "Master Zhang, I have offended you greatly."

"Hahaha, it's alright, it's alright. I'm very happy today! It's just a pity that I only got to smell the aroma from below the stage. I'll come back in three days."

As Zhang Sanfeng spoke, his figure grew fainter and fainter on the spot, "This old Taoist is leaving now, you may all go back!"
