Chapter 183 The Three Pride

Lin Zhao opened the jade bottle and found that it contained a low-quality fifth-grade pill.

It's exactly what's used to heal internal injuries.

"I originally got this for my father, but now I'm barely able to protect myself, how can I hand it over to him? You can have it for now. After you go to Beicheng, remember to have my father come back after he recovers..."

Lin Zhao had already stuffed the pill into his mouth.

It doesn't taste very good; it's not as good as the fourth-grade pills I make myself.

As Lin Zhao swallowed the pill, she silently pondered, feeling the medicinal effects healing her internal injuries. She also discovered that she could now use some of her spiritual energy.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Zhao Qianqian had already finished explaining other things when she turned around and saw Lin Zhao holding the empty bottle, motionless.

"You ate it? How dare you, a mere mortal, eat a fifth-grade elixir?!" Zhao Qianqian's eyes widened.

After all, Lin Zhao looked a little younger than him, and he couldn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from her, so she could only be an ordinary woman without any cultivation.

Lin Zhao seemed to see a bit of Jin Ya's shadow in her, and couldn't help but say, "I have a friend who looks a lot like you."

She paused for a moment: "But now is not the time to talk about these things."

After she finished speaking, she moved her mind and the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword appeared beneath her feet. In the blink of an eye, Lin Zhao was at the head of the caravan and saw the demonic apes fighting against three Golden Core stage cultivators.

That demonic ape was indeed a level 5 spirit beast, but it had probably only recently broken through to level 5, which is why it was entangled by three Golden Core cultivators using some formations.

However, the gap between the Golden Core stage and the Fusion stage is too great. Even with the help of formations, these cultivators are likely to face dire consequences when facing the demonic ape.

The demonic ape's eyes widened when it saw Lin Zhao. It rubbed its large hands together and exclaimed, "I never imagined that the rumored third young lady of Beicheng, who was supposed to be just a pretty girl from a modest family, would actually be such a beauty! Tsk tsk, it seems I've struck gold. Little beauty, come back with me, I promise..."

Lin Zhao unfurled her phoenix wings, gripped the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword, and instantly activated the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Formation, blasting towards the demonic ape.

The demon ape was initially caught off guard, but it still retained the vigilance expected of a spirit beast. It narrowly avoided the fatal blow to its chest from the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Formation, and its gaze towards Lin Zhao changed.

"Integration period?"

Even a cultivator in the Fusion stage wouldn't mistake this for the daughter of the North City Lord, no matter how foolish he might be.

"A little girl who has just entered the fusion stage? Are you their hidden reinforcements here?" The demon ape speculated. It was originally cautious and wanted to leave directly, but when it saw Lin Zhao's rare beauty and otherworldly temperament, lust eventually overcame its vigilance, and it licked its lips.

"Although we are both in the fusion stage, little girl, your internal injuries are still quite severe. How dare you challenge me?"

Lin Zhao felt disgusted even to say two more words to him, so he simply drew his sword and charged forward.

Behind her, the three heavily injured Golden Core cultivators were supported by Zhao Qianqian and the others who had rushed over.

"Third Miss, who is this...?" Zhong Hong, the leader of the three Golden Core cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, looked at the girl who was fighting fiercely with the demonic ape and asked in astonishment, "Is she your friend?"

Zhao Qianqian also saw that Lin Zhao alone had subdued Uncle Zhong, whom she had always relied on, while the three of them couldn't hold off the demonic ape for even a quarter of an hour. Thinking of what she had said to her before, she felt very complicated.

"We're not really friends," Zhao Qianqian said with some difficulty. "I just happened to run into her and brought her along."

We can't just leave an ordinary girl with no spiritual energy to lie in this ancient forest where demonic apes roam, can we?
This was simply Zhao Qianqian's act of kindness in taking Lin Zhao away.

After learning the whole story, Zhong Hong sighed, "Third Miss, it's fortunate that you saved this girl."

Zhao Qianqian looked at Lin Zhao. At this moment, she had already pierced the demon ape's chest with her sword and then punched the demon ape on the head.

Explosions came one after another from the demon ape's body. Finally, it was completely exhausted and collapsed to the ground, where it fell silent.

Lin Zhao landed, her expression not looking too good. This demonic ape was more troublesome than she had expected.

She originally wanted to finish the battle quickly and avoid aggravating her injuries, but now she has managed to bring her injuries back to the state they were in before she took the pills.

After checking her physical condition again, she said helplessly to Zhao Qianqian, "Consider this as repaying you for that grade-five pill."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qianqian's eyes lit up: "Benefactor, do you still need a grade-five pill to repair your internal injuries?"

Although Lin Zhao was somewhat uncomfortable with the changed way she addressed her, she still nodded.

She can no longer use her spiritual energy, so she naturally needs a fifth-grade elixir to repair her internal injuries.

"Could you do us another favor?" Zhao Qianqian said, then asked with some suspicion, "My benefactor, may I ask how old you are this year?"

Zhong Hong tapped Zhao Qianqian on the head and quickly apologized to Lin Zhao: "Senior, please don't be offended. My young lady was just terrified, that's why she offended you."

He thought Lin Zhao was some kind of ageless monster, since Lin Zhao looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.

The integration period at seventeen or eighteen years old?

This is comparable to the geniuses of the five major powers in the Central Continent.

Lin Zhao was taken aback when the other party addressed her as "senior." She quickly waved her hand and said with a wry smile, "I am Lin Zhao, and I am only seventeen years old. I am not worthy of being called 'senior.'"

Zhong Hong was taken aback, then became even more respectful: "Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."

Once Zhao Qianqian confirmed Lin Zhao's age, her eyes shone with even greater hope: "You're seventeen this year, in the fusion period..."

Zhong Hong could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her. "Third Miss, Fellow Daoist Lin has such cultivation at such a young age, so her background must be extraordinary. Don't bother her with trivial matters."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qianqian bit her lip, but her family had exhausted all other options.

"But even if my sister joins the Phoenix Medicine Sect and becomes an inner disciple, it will only delay things for a while. My second brother will eventually be unable to escape the demands of that deacon of the Phoenix Medicine Sect. Unless my brother's wife is a direct disciple of the Phoenix Medicine Sect, I will try anything for my second brother!"

At seventeen, during the fusion stage, he would be considered an outstanding genius even in the Central Continent. The Phoenix Medicine Sect would definitely be interested!

If Lin Zhao were her second brother's fiancée, she wouldn't believe that the Phoenix Medicine Sect steward would dare to set his sights on her second brother!
Zhong Hong sighed when he saw that Zhao Qianqian hadn't understood his implication at all.

Does this silly young lady really think that someone so young in the fusion stage wouldn't have any background?

This girl must have a terrifying background; she might be the heir of some powerful clan in the Central Continent, here to experience life.

"I come from the Heavenly Phoenix Continent. Actually, I just arrived here and don't have any background in the Ancestral Phoenix Continent," Lin Zhao said after listening to the two for a while.

"The Heavenly Phoenix Continent?" Zhong Hong took a deep breath and looked at Lin Zhao again.

Zhao Qianqian was also incredulous: "How could a genius like you emerge from a place like that?"

The handsome young man quickly reminded her, "Miss, Ji Wantang, the current top three geniuses of the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, is from the Heavenly Phoenix Continent."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qianqian's lips twitched: "Don't mention that level of monster."

For their generation, Ji Wantang was an absolutely overwhelming figure.

The younger generation of the Ancestral Phoenix Continent is said to be led by three prodigies, but everyone knows that the other two are not on the same level as Ji Wantang at all. It's just that the forces behind these two were forced together to make them look good.

Lin Zhao pulled them back to their senses: "What did Miss Zhao want me to do before?"
