Chapter 6 Mutual Aid Group
Outside Xuanyuan Tomb, deep within the dense canopy of towering ancient cypress trees.
Lin Yuan folded his wings and quietly lay dormant there.
The wisp of Nuwa's creative Daoist essence that he had just absorbed was now circulating throughout his flesh and blood, transforming his original F-rank crow body, making his bones clear and his mind lucid.
Just as Lin Yuan closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, preparing to plan his next step in going to Chaoge City to witness the earth-shattering change of "the fox spirit entering the palace".
The holographic system panel at the edge of the retina suddenly began to flicker.
[Ding! You have received an invitation from an unknown small group.]
Group Name: Ordinary People's Mutual Aid Association
[Inviter: Chen Ping (Second Military High School)]
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
This [All-Server Channel] has always been a stage for those "chosen ones" like Chu Tianhe, who draw high-ranking identities at the start of the game, to show off.
At this point, someone actually created a private group and invited him to join?
With a hint of curiosity, Lin Yuan clicked "accept" after a slight thought.
As soon as I entered the group chat, several messages popped up impatiently.
[Chen Ping (Rank E/Changfeng Escort Agency): "Great! Brother Lin Yuan is here! Brothers, let's give him a round of applause!"]
[Wang Pangzi (Rank F/Waitress at Chaoge South Inn): "Welcome, Brother Lin Yuan."]
[Wang Pangzi: "Hey, I finally got you in here. I was so angry seeing that guy from your school, the General Chu, talking about you in the group chat."]
[Zhao Ye (Rank E/Son of a Down-on-His-Luck Merchant): "Brother Lin Yuan, you've suffered. Don't worry, we're all ordinary students from No. 2 and No. 3 Middle Schools in this group, not those high and mighty young masters."]
[Zhao Ye: "We are all just ordinary people thrown into this meat grinder. We must help each other to survive this year."]
Looking at the simple words scrolling on the screen, Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback, but then he understood.
It seems that everyone's compatibility is relatively low, so we plan to create a small group to share information and support each other.
Lin Yuan (Rank F/Common Crow): "Thank you for your concern, brothers. I'm just a bird now, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help to you."
[Chen Ping (Rank E/Changfeng Escort Agency Handler): "Brother Lin, please don't say that! In this world, just being alive is a challenge. I'm a bit luckier; I started as a handler at an escort agency and happened to learn a common sword technique."]
Chen Ping: "I'll post the incantation in the group right now. How much everyone can comprehend depends on their luck. Brother Lin, you're a bird; if you can grasp even a fraction of it and turn it into a movement technique for escaping, you'll have more options for survival when encountering those hunters and ferocious beasts!"
Immediately afterwards, a file popped up in the group chat.
[Ding! Group member Chen Ping shared a common martial art: "Chasing Wind Sword Technique"!]
[Zhao Ye (Rank E/Son of a Down-on-His-Luck Merchant): "Brother Chen is so righteous, then I won't hold back either."]
[Zhao Ye: "My family has some money in the main world. Before coming here, I spent a lot of money to buy a manual of external martial arts techniques from the black market, intending to use it for self-defense. I'm sharing it here to save everyone's lives!"]
[Ding! Group member Zhao Ye shared a fragment of the mortal martial arts manual, "Golden Bell Cover"!]
Seeing the cultivation techniques popping up one after another in the group, Lin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle to himself, yet a warm feeling welled up inside him.
Ordinary martial arts?
In this mysterious realm where magical treasures can destroy the heavens and the earth, such low-level martial arts, even if practiced to the extreme of mortals, cannot withstand even a single finger from a Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect.
But Lin Yuan did not refuse this kindness.
He took a deep breath and opened the two cultivation manuals.
"Buzz—"
The moment Lin Yuan began reading the incantation, the unparalleled innate talent within his body, reshaped by the divine power of Nuwa, unleashed a terrifying deductive ability.
The originally crude and crude "Chasing Wind Sword Technique" was instantly reconstructed in his eyes.
A wisp of sword intent actually flowed along the meridians of his limbs and bones, forcibly merging into his dark golden crow feathers.
"Clang clang clang..."
From within the canopy of the ancient cypress tree, the sound of metal clashing echoed.
Lin Yuan suddenly spread his wings, and the edge of each feather was filled with terrifying sword energy that could tear through the void.
He actually managed to transform ordinary sword techniques into the [Great Sun Heavenly Feather Sword Qi], which can slay demons and monsters!
Next came the fragment of "The Golden Bell Cover".
Under the domineering operation of the "Great Heavenly Demon Technique", this mortal martial art was instantly elevated to countless levels.
A layer of crimson-gold qi descended from Lin Yuan's body like an inverted ancient bell, reflecting the golden crow fire within him.
Let alone a mortal's cold arrow, even if an ordinary cultivator were to bombard him with a magic weapon, they wouldn't be able to harm him in the slightest.
The conversation in the group continues, filled with the warmth and everyday life of ordinary people.
[Wang Pangzi (Rank F/Waitress at the South Inn of Chaoge City): "Brother Lin Yuan, let's take our time with martial arts training. Right now, you're a bird, so the hardest thing for you is definitely eating and drinking."]
[Wang Pangzi: "Brother Pang, I'm helping out in the kitchen of the 'Yuelai Inn' in the south of Chaoge City."]
[Wang Pangzi: "Remember this, every evening, when you fly over from the south of the city, I'll leave you two meat buns or some scraps of beast meat on the windowsill under the old locust tree in the backyard. As long as I have something to eat, you bird will never go hungry!"]
Looking at the message sent by Fatty Wang.
Lin Yuan seemed to picture a fat man with a greasy face, secretly hiding a meat bun in his clothes, and gazing longingly out the window for a crow to land—a comical scene.
Lin Yuan fell silent.
He is now a terrifying demon in the Nascent Soul Realm, living on wind and dew, and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. Why would he need to eat mortal meat buns?
But he didn't expose it; he simply typed a few words solemnly in the group chat.
Lin Yuan (Rank F/Ordinary Crow): "Fatty, Chen, Zhao. I'll remember this kindness."
Returning a favor in return is Lin Yuan's way!
Since these mortal brothers treated him with sincerity, he, the only "prophet" in the entire server, naturally could not just stand by and watch them go to their deaths.
He clearly remembered the so-called "think tank" of the Blue Star military in the [All-Server Channel] just now.
They are frantically calling on all lower-level explorers to go to Jizhou to assist Marquis Su Hu of Jizhou in his rebellion, claiming that it is the strongest main storyline to overthrow the tyrant.
This is like sending people into a meat grinder!
Lin Yuan (Rank F/Ordinary Crow): "Brothers, listen to my advice. No matter what the group says, whatever you do, don't go to Jizhou! Stay as far away as possible!"
Upon hearing this, the previously lively group chat instantly fell silent.
After a good ten seconds, Chen Ping finally asked a question in confusion.
[Chen Ping (Rank E/Changfeng Escort Agency): "Brother Lin, what do you mean? Didn't the military's think tank analyze that Su Hu's poem against the Shang was a matter of destiny, a great opportunity for us to clear the secret realm?"]
[Chen Ping: "Fatty and Zhao Ye are discussing whether they should try to join a caravan and go to Jizhou to try their luck."]
Lin Yuan sneered, his fingers flying across the light screen.
[Lin Yuan (Rank F/Ordinary Crow): "What a load of rubbish about destiny. Su Hu's pitiful troops can't even make a ripple in front of the iron torrent of Yin Shang."]
Lin Yuan: "He will soon face suppression from the combined forces of the Northern Marquis and the Western Marquis. Going to Ji Province? That would be like sharpening the sword of the Yin Shang army!"
The three people in the group gasped.
[Wang Pangzi (Rank F/Waitress at Chaoge South Inn): "Holy crap! Brother Lin Yuan, don't scare me!"]
[Wang Pangzi: "You...you're far outside the city, how do you know about these important military and national affairs? Do those big shots have their military plans written all over their faces?"]
Seeing the shock in the group chat, Lin Yuan's lips curled up slightly.
Lin Yuan (Rank F/Ordinary Crow): "Because I am a crow."
[Lin Yuan (Rank F/Ordinary Crow): "These past few days, I've been circling over the capital city of Chaoge. I've personally heard the ministers in the palace discussing state affairs and witnessed them deploying troops. Tell me, who would be wary of an ordinary crow that perches under the eaves of the Imperial Study and only caws?"]
Dead silence.
Silence fell over the group chat.
Then, an overwhelming wave of astonishment erupted.
[Lin Yuan (Rank F/Common Crow): "These past few days, I've been circling above the capital city of Chaoge. I've personally heard the ministers in the palace discussing state affairs and witnessed them deploying troops."]
Lin Yuan: "Tell me, who would be wary of an ordinary crow that perches under the eaves of the Imperial Study and only caws?"
Upon hearing this...
Silence fell over the group chat.
Subsequently, the chat history was flooded with messages.
Zhao Ye (Rank E/Son of a Down-on-His-Luck Merchant): "My God! How could I not have thought of that!"
[Chen Ping (Rank E/Changfeng Escort Agency): "That's right. Even if Chu Tianhe is a subordinate general of the Yin Shang Dynasty, he can't enter the inner palace and hear the core secrets. But you're a bird! You can fly into the most secret places without any worries!"]
[Wang Pangzi (F-rank/Waitress at the South Inn of Chaoge City): "Holy crap, this isn't some F-rank cannon fodder, this is clearly the strongest and most secretive super intelligence spy king in the entire server!"]
[Wang Pangzi: "Brother Lin Yuan, you won so badly this time! Those idiots in the group chat are still laughing at you for not even being human. If they knew the truth, they'd be kicking themselves!"]
The three people in the group were so excited that they were incoherent.
At that moment, they felt as if they had grasped a glittering lifeline.
Lin Yuan (Rank F/Common Crow): "So, brothers, hold on. Stay in Chaoge, don't go anywhere."
Lin Yuan: "I'll share any life-saving information in the group chat as soon as possible. As long as we stick together, we'll definitely survive this great calamity of the gods."
Chen Ping/Wang Pangzi/Zhao Ye: "We'll do whatever Brother Lin Yuan says!"
