After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 138: Calculations by Both Sides
After swallowing a bunch of pills, Lin Zhao managed to stabilize her injuries, but at the same time, she sadly discovered that her pill reserves were about to run out.

"At the rate you eat, there's no way you'll ever have enough," Grandma Honghu said irritably.

With so many pills entering his body, Lin Zhao wasn't feeling too good, but at least his injuries were healing at a encouraging pace.

However, these pills seemed to have helped her break through something. Lin Zhao felt as if her brain had been hit hard by something. She subconsciously looked in Qu Shu's direction, her eyes filled with shock and rejection, but she only glanced at him and did not say anything.

Almost at the same time, Qu Shu realized something and asked the unusually quiet system in his sea of ​​consciousness, "Did you do something?"

Although it was phrased as a question, Qu Shu already had the answer.

Faced with Qu Shu's gaze that seemed to demand the system's attention, the system finally spoke weakly after a long while.

"...They only used their accumulated points to increase the heroine's favorability towards you because they saw that you hadn't made any noise."

"Just a little?"

Qu Shu had previously checked Lin Zhao's favorability rating, which was only forty.

To add a point, a mere passing grade in favorability is definitely not enough to make Lin Zhao tacitly accept that her relationship with him is unusual.

The system felt even more guilty. "Okay... I did add it to seventy points. But this bonus is temporary. The Phoenix Luck on the female lead has already separated my influence. Waaah."

After saying that, the system screamed in terror: "Aa ...

How am I supposed to win over the female lead if things continue like this?!
Qu Shu coldly replied, "Serves you right."

Given Lin Zhao's personality, the fact that she didn't turn against him and arrest him after discovering something about him that influenced her shows that she trusted him.

It was also his own fault; whenever Lin Zhao got any closer, he couldn't tell the difference between the current Lin Zhao and the Lin Zhao from his previous life.

Qu Shu said, "If you dare to use your powers to interfere with my affairs with her again, don't blame me for strangling your consciousness."

He does have some methods, but he can't simply discard the bait in order to catch a bigger fish.

Lin Zhao was unaware of the communication between Qu Shu and the system. At that moment, she found an open space, silently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, and then told Granny Honghu about her situation.

"So you didn't suddenly become enlightened after all," Grandma said, suddenly realizing.

Lin Zhao remained silent for a moment, then felt humiliated for the first time and asked incredulously, "Have I been struck by lightning and gone mad? How did I suddenly become so clever?"

She didn't get her fortune back, her mother was kidnapped, and her brother was missing. What was she thinking?

"Alright, alright, it was my fault for not noticing your unusual behavior." Granny Honghu comforted her disciple, somewhat embarrassed. "But I also didn't detect any otherworldly evil thoughts during this time. What's bothering you is definitely not otherworldly evil thoughts, and it probably doesn't mean you any harm."

I just wanted to set you up with that Qu Shu.

Grandma didn't dare say the last sentence aloud, because Lin Zhao's gaze grew colder and colder, to the point of being frightening.

"But the feeling of losing control was no different from when I was controlled by the system... That should also be a mental entity, or another system." After thinking it over, Lin Zhao came to a conclusion that was about 80% certain.

"Qu Shu should also have a system with a different origin from the evil thoughts of the other world, and it is related to me."

Grandma Honghu knew that her disciple was always a person with her own ideas, and often her deductions were very close to the truth.

"What are you going to do?"

Lin Zhao pondered: "Qu Shu possesses this system, yet he only showed signs of abnormality recently. It's very likely that this intervention wasn't his own doing, but rather something done by the system. Furthermore, Qu Shu keeping this system might be because he shares my current thoughts—to find out what's behind the system."

Regardless of whether this is possible or not, stirring up trouble is the worst possible option.

Lin Zhao reviewed the situation regarding the system intervention by Qu Shu and the system control by Chen Luoluo during this period, and then asked, "It seems that the interference of these systems on my mind and body will weaken as my own strength and luck increase?"

"It should be that the interference from this system started after you accompanied that kid through the tribulation. During that tribulation, you may have established some kind of connection with that kid, which allowed the system to interfere with you. But as time went on, Phoenix Luck automatically separated you from it."

Lin Zhao clicked his tongue and clenched his fist.

Grandma Honghu thought she was upset because of the interference, so she comforted her, "Once your luck is complete, no system will be able to interfere with you anymore."

Lin Zhao shook his head: "Even I, who am burdened with such luck, am still like this. How long could others last when they encountered something like this?"

Such things that forcibly interfere with people's hearts should not exist, regardless of whether they are malicious towards the world.

However, for the long term, or rather for the sake of what lies behind these systems, Lin Zhao does not intend to settle accounts with Qu Shu's systems now.

While contemplating the conversation, she recovered from her injuries and was surprised to find that her cultivation, which had remained stagnant, was beginning to loosen.

"It seems to be gathering the next stream of spiritual energy?" Lin Zhao asked in surprise, sensing the abnormality in his body.

Grandma Honghu said, "The spiritual energy here is strong enough that it can gather here."

Is the spiritual energy level sufficient?

Lin Zhao suddenly understood: "Master! You're amazing!"

Grandma Honghu: "?" Did she say anything?

Lin Zhao turned to the group and said, "There should be a very large source spirit vein hidden here!"

Everyone was shocked, and then Lin Zhao continued, "Before, I was wondering why Mo Zun and Jiang Yan were setting up the Spirit Locking Array. Now I understand. They want to absorb the Source Spirit Vein completely before they come to kill us!"

"We absolutely cannot let them succeed!" Zou Zihan was the first to speak: "Captain, what should we do?"

Lin Zhao said, "That's what I was thinking too. I have an idea now, but I can't accomplish it on my own. I need everyone's help."

If the other side can set up an array, why can't I? They set up a Spirit Locking Array with their powerful spiritual energy, so why don't I turn the tables and use both sides' cultivators as the array to set up a Qiankun Forbidden Yuan Array?

The Qiankun Forbidden Yuan Array can be considered the mother array of the Spirit Locking Array. It requires at least one level 5 spirit talisman master as the array eye and one level 4 spirit talisman master for operation.

Once this formation is established, and the opponent's Spirit Locking Formation gains the advantage, this Source Spirit Vein will belong to their Heavenly Phoenix Continent!

The number of Yuan Yang Hui Golden Cores on the Tianhuang Continent is actually not much less than that of the Four Alliances; the only difference is the foundation.

If they obtain this source spirit vein, there will be almost no difference between the two sides.

Even Lin Zhao couldn't help but feel her heart race at the thought of that possibility.

"Before that, please contact the people in the Thunder Palace and have them come over. I have some things to do."

To be on the safe side, one of the Yuan Yang Hui Golden Core cultivators from the four-way alliance must die, which would also disrupt their progress in setting up the Spirit Locking Array. They can then work together with Su Bai to set up the prototype of the Qiankun Forbidden Yuan Array when Su Bai arrives.

Lin Zhao clenched her fist.

His gaze fell almost without hesitation on the two men from the Golden Crow Continent, Fat Tiger and Skinny Monkey, with whom he had previously had a verbal altercation.

These two are currently the weakest Yuan Yang Hui Golden Core cultivators in the four-way alliance.

We absolutely cannot let them all survive and strengthen their foundation to more than forty spiritual streams!
