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

Chapter 184 Speechless
Zhong Hong met Zhao Qianqian's pleading gaze and knew that if he stopped her any further, he would probably completely extinguish the last bit of hope that the Third Miss, whom he had watched grow up, had. He could only nod.

Well, things can't get any worse now, so we might as well try anything.

Perhaps Miss Lin really has a way to help the Second Young Master escape the crisis of becoming a furnace cauldron.

"Let's talk as we walk." Lin Zhao took out the energy crystal—the spirit core—from the demon ape's corpse. He wanted to put the spirit core into his spatial ring, but then he remembered that he couldn't use his spiritual energy yet, so he could only awkwardly wrap it in a handkerchief.

She glanced at the enormous corpse of the spirit beast, feeling somewhat reluctant to leave.

Seeing this, Zhong Hong said, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lin would be willing to sell this corpse to us? We will offer you three times the market price?"

Lin Zhao's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Thank you very much!"

Zhong Hong had someone bring over a spatial ring, removed the restrictions on it, and handed it to Lin Zhao.

As Lin Zhao accepted the money, he remarked on how considerate Uncle Zhong was, saying, "The market price is sufficient."

Grandma Honghu, who had been silent all along, said, "I thought you would give it to them for free."

“One thing at a time,” Lin Zhao said. “I won’t refuse what’s rightfully mine. Besides, in the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, more money means more opportunities.”

"Doesn't what you said sound strange?" Grandma Honghu asked, puzzled.

Lin Zhao said, "Don't worry about that, Master. I want to join the Phoenix Medicine Sect once I recover from my injuries. Let's find out more about the situation before I join."

Their transaction was completed quickly. The caravan disposed of the bodies, and Zhao Qianqian pulled Lin Zhao into her glittering golden carriage.

"Although I am not quite as good as you, my eldest sister Zhao Lianwei is the most beautiful woman in the Northwest Continent, and her cultivation talent is also quite good. When the elders of the Phoenix Medicine Sect came to recruit disciples, they took a liking to her talent and said that as long as she broke through to the late Golden Core stage before the age of twenty, they would accept my eldest sister as an inner disciple. But it was during that recruitment that my eldest sister did not become an inner disciple of the Phoenix Medicine Sect, and my second brother was unfortunately noticed by a deacon of the Phoenix Medicine Sect."

Lin Zhao rested her chin on her hand: "That deacon wants your second brother to be her Daoist partner?"

"If they were to become Daoist partners, that would be a stroke of luck for us in remote border cities of the continent. That steward was only interested in my second brother's extremely Yin constitution."

Lin Zhao's mouth dropped open: "Extreme Yin constitution? Your second brother?"

If she remembered correctly, the extreme yin constitution usually only appears in women, such as Ning Wengui's mother, and people with this constitution find it very difficult to cultivate.

If the child is male, the yang energy of his birth sex clashes with his extremely yin constitution, causing him to die young at birth.

How did Zhao Qianqian's second brother survive?

Grandma Honghu said, "It might be the situation I'm thinking of. If that's the case, little girl, your luck is truly exceptional. The previous Purple Eye Glazed Body, plus this Zhao Er, either one of them would be of great benefit to you."

Lin Zhao sighed and said, "Teacher, if you keep saying such nonsense, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

Grandma Honghu: "...Disrespectful to teachers and elders."

Unable to get Lin Zhao to cooperate, Granny Honghu fell silent in frustration.

Zhao Qianqian sighed, her once bright and beautiful face now filled with gloom: "As you know, people with an extremely Yin constitution are not suitable for cultivation, but they are natural materials for converting spiritual energy. As long as they mate with someone, they can purify and refine spiritual energy through that person, making them top-grade furnaces."

Lin Zhao wanted to say that she was actually more curious about how her second brother survived.

"So, that deacon specifically requested my second brother to be her medicine man."

Medicine man?!
“They don’t even want to give him the status of a male servant.” Zhao Qianqian bit her lip: “After all, all the named people on the opposing side of the Phoenix Medicine Sect are registered. Even those who serve by their side, if my second brother enters as a male servant and something happens to him while he is working as a furnace cauldron, that steward will also be implicated.” Lin Zhao listened and could only conclude: “Then they are quite humane.”

"But nowadays, the Phoenix Medicine Sect... ever since the sect leader went into seclusion and the second elder took power, many of the rules that were set before have become loopholes. For example, this rule, although everyone has to register, my second brother is not a cultivator, and medicine people are just a kind of medicinal material, so they will not be recorded in the sect's records."

Lin Zhao frowned: "So the Phoenix Medicine Sect deacon might actually want to kill your brother?"

“Yes.” Zhao Qianqian gritted her teeth: “Unfortunately, we are of little influence and cannot even secure the position of a male servant for my second brother. We can only rely on the elder who wanted to take my eldest sister as his disciple to persuade this steward to relent and postpone his decision.”

Lin Zhao pondered Zhao Qianqian's words: "What you meant before was that if your second brother had a wife, and that wife was a direct disciple of the Phoenix Medicine Sect, the deacon wouldn't dare to say anything?"

“Yes, even if she’s incredibly bold, she wouldn’t dare to steal a husband from a direct disciple of the Phoenix Medicine Sect!” Zhao Qianqian nodded firmly.

Lin Zhao pondered for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, I probably can't be your second brother's wife or anything like that."

This kind of identity sounds unpleasant, and I can't afford to bear the consequences if I end up with any problems.

"But if your Zhao family produces an heir to the Phoenix Medicine Sect Master, the effect will be the same, won't it?"

Hearing Lin Zhao's almost fanciful words, Zhao Qianqian stared at her in disbelief, and finally said, "Sister Zhao Zhao, although a seventeen-year-old in the Fusion stage is very powerful, he definitely can't become the heir of the Phoenix Medicine Sect."

Although they are rare, the Phoenix Medicine Sect is not lacking in geniuses of this caliber.

Lin Zhao said confidently, "I'll figure something out, right?"

Zhao Qianqian curled her lips, "If you don't want to help, then forget it."

Lin Zhao knew his words were absurd, so he could only compromise in the end: "I can't be your wife. For now, let's just say to others that I'm your second brother's fiancée. Of course, your second brother has to agree."

Zhao Qianqian hugged her tightly: "Don't worry! I will definitely persuade my second brother!"

Lin Zhao covered her face in distress.

With a heavy heart, Lin Zhao followed Zhao Qianqian back to the city. After arriving at the city lord's mansion, he soon met the legendary Second Young Master Zhao.

The other person was completely wrapped in a dark cloak, not even extending their hands, with their dark hair hanging casually over their shoulders, revealing only a thin face.

Contrary to his rumored frail physique, this Second Young Master Zhao had a pair of sharp, clear eyes, and his thin, pale lips shimmered with a faint pinkish luster in the sunlight, gently pursed.

When he looks at people, he exudes a cold and aloof aura that keeps them at arm's length.

Lin Zhao and Zhao Qianqian discussed, "Why don't we switch identities? I feel like if I pretend to be his wife, he'll find out in no time."

The other person looked like they were about to hit me.

Zhao Wuyan's gaze fell on his younger sister, and his slightly fierce eyes regained some warmth, while the hidden sharpness in his body was also restrained. "Qianqian, I told you, you don't need to worry about your second brother. Your second brother can handle this matter himself."

Zhao Qianqian stepped forward: "Second brother, please promise me! Sister Zhao Zhao is different from those other female swindlers, she can definitely do it! She's only seventeen, she's already in the fusion period!"

Zhao Wuyan sighed softly, meeting Zhao Qianqian's gaze that seemed to say, "If you don't agree, I'll start being unreasonable." He could only reach out from under his cloak and pat her head, saying, "Second brother has caused you trouble."

Ta-da! New map, new characters!
