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

Chapter 191 Get rich overnight

Zhao Wuyan slowly walked out amidst a series of coughs. Perhaps because the temperature was even lower at dusk down the mountain, he was now completely shrouded in a black cloak, even his face was covered, only his sharp eyes were visible.

He stepped out of the tent and methodically arranged the accommodations, even preparing a separate tent for Lin Zhao.

This time, his tone towards Lin Zhao was much gentler; at least his words were no longer sarcastic. "Miss Lin, your tent has been arranged next to mine. Is there anything missing? I'll have someone get it."

Lin Zhao waved his hand: "First find out why these three disgusting things came to you. I have my own business to attend to and may not stay here for long."

Zhao Wuyan nodded, then started coughing again. To Lin Zhao's astonishment, his cough was misty.

Lin Zhao noticed that Zhao Wuyan's fingertips, hidden in his sleeves, were already icy cold.

"Teacher, what's going on?"

"Because he was disturbed by demonic energy, his health has deteriorated a bit," said Granny Honghu. "Just give him the Demon-Cleansing Pill you made."

Lin Zhao nodded, took out a porcelain bottle from his ring, and tossed it to Zhao Wuyan: "Your body is being invaded by demonic energy, which will make you feel even worse. This is a Demon-Cleansing Pill, worth one hundred mid-grade spirit stones."

Zhao Wuyan held the porcelain bottle tightly and whispered a thank you to Lin Zhao.

After the cultivators guarding Zhao Wuyan brought the Three Bone Demons, Lin Zhao sat next to Zhao Wuyan, already pondering whether it was better to go to a larger auction house or a smaller one.

After taking the pills given to him by Lin Zhao, Zhao Wuyan regained some of his strength, but his still slightly weak voice pulled Lin Zhao back to reality.

"Did someone point you here?"

The skeleton of the three demons twisted, just in time to meet Lin Zhao's calm gaze, its entire skeletal frame trembling.

Lin Zhao rested her chin on her hand, purple spiritual flames shooting from her fingertips: "Speak quickly, I can't wait much longer."

Just looking at these monsters annoys me. It's not that I'm trying to get some information out of them; if I can kill them in front of her, they won't survive another moment.

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you! It’s a woman from the Phoenix Medicine Sect, I think she’s a steward. She said that Young Master Zhao has a treasure that can help her advance further.”

Lin Zhao subconsciously thought of the Ice Soul Yin Yang Pearl and asked Granny Honghu, "Teacher, can other people use the Ice Soul Yin Yang Pearl?"

"If it is a woman with an extremely yang body or a man with an extremely yin body, before the master of the Ice Soul Yin Yang Pearl is awakened and cultivated, the person who takes it can indeed be used."

Lin Zhao sighed and with a swift movement, finished off the three demons of withered bones.

"I have a treasure on me?" Zhao Wuyan's hands, hidden in his cloak, trembled slightly, as if he had just thought of something.

Lin Zhao glanced back at him, and after completely eliminating the demonic influence of the Three Bone Demons, he turned to examine Zhao Wuyan.

"I know, and I also know how to help you cultivate," Lin Zhao managed to squeeze out.

The appearance of the three demons of withered bones made her realize that although sacred objects like the Ice Soul Yin Yang Pearl were rare, they were not unknown to everyone.

However, if Zhao Wuyan is really brought into the Phoenix Medicine Sect, the number of people who covet him will only increase.

He is currently just a steward of the Phoenix Medicine Sect. If, in the future, the Ice Soul Yin Yang Pearl falls into the hands of demons or people controlled by evil thoughts from other worlds, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Although Zhao Wuyan has a somewhat eccentric personality, the fact that the Ice Soul Yin Yang Pearl was born in his body is his good fortune.

"You can... help me cultivate?" Zhao Wuyan's previously softened attitude towards Lin Zhao suddenly turned sharp.

However, considering Lin Zhao's life-saving grace, he couldn't directly refute Lin Zhao, and could only say, "My father once invited a sixth-grade alchemist, but those alchemy masters were all helpless with my body."

In other words, how could you possibly do something that even a sixth-grade alchemist can't do?

Following Grandma Honghu's instructions, Lin Zhao cast a spiritual seal.

Zhao Wuyan felt a warmth emanating from his lower abdomen that he had never experienced before, and the original coldness was gradually driven away. His body had never felt so comfortable.

"This is……"

"This is why you, born with an extremely Yin constitution, were able to survive—because of the Ice Soul Yin-Yang Pearl," Lin Zhao said. Zhao Wuyan's initial doubts dissipated due to his body's reaction.

What is the Ice Soul Yin-Yang Pearl?

He always thought that he was able to survive because he had an extremely yin body, and that he had been kept alive by soups and broths since he was a child.

Even today, Lin Zhao tells him that he can live this long without those soups and broths.

"Not really."

Lin Zhao analyzed for him: "Although those medicines are generally mediocre, they can at least make you feel better, so they are not entirely useless. But what is really keeping you alive is the Ice Soul Yin Yang Pearl."

With Lin Zhao's explanation, Zhao Wuyan's furrowed brows finally relaxed.

However, Zhao Wuyan did not experience the ecstatic joy or the relief of surviving a calamity that Lin Zhao had imagined. At least, he was not as calm as a long-suffering mortal would be upon learning that he was actually a cultivation genius.

"Aren't you excited?" Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Excited?" Zhao Wuyan asked himself again, then nodded: "Of course, I'm very excited."

However, his experiences from childhood taught him that being too emotionally agitated is also a burden on his body, so he is used to keeping his emotions within a very low range no matter what he faces.

"What do you want in exchange for me to teach you the cultivation method?"

This kid is surprisingly quick to understand.

Seeing Lin Zhao's surprise, Zhao Wuyan said with a hint of helplessness for the first time: "I just don't like communicating with people, but that doesn't mean I can't."

Lin Zhao touched his nose and sincerely apologized for his previous misunderstanding of him.

"So what are you planning to give me?"

Zhao Wuyan asked, "How about a 20% controlling stake in the Northwest Continent Worry-Free Chamber of Commerce every year?"

Lin Zhao: "..." What chamber of commerce?
Zhao Wuyan looked at Lin Zhao with a blank expression, then realized that the other party was not a local of the Ancestral Phoenix Continent. He said, "The Worry-Free Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Northwest Continent. Its annual profit of 20% is about 3 billion high-grade spirit stones. In the future, it will only be higher than this, not lower."

After he finished speaking, Lin Zhao remained silent for a long time.

"You're not satisfied?" Zhao Wuyan thought of what her father and elder sister had told her—that Lin Zhao came from a terrifying power in the Tianhuang Continent. She figured this amount of money shouldn't be enough to tempt her. After a moment's thought, she said, "How about 25%?"

Lin Zhao took a deep breath.

"Thirty percent is the limit I can promise. Any more than that, and I will lose control of the Worry-Free Chamber of Commerce."

Lin Zhao took out the scroll given to her by Granny Honghu from her ring and slapped it into Zhao Wuyan's hand: "It's a deal. From now on, you are my godfather and godmother's brother!"

Zhao Wuyan: "..." He looked at Lin Zhao for a long time: "Miss Lin is more composed than I thought."

Grandma Honghu also praised her disciple's vision: "I didn't expect you to be so good at bargaining, little girl."

Lin Zhao shook his head: "No, teacher, I was so frightened by the 3 billion high-grade spirit stones that I didn't react for a moment."

She thought that if she could exchange this scroll for three thousand high-grade spirit stones, she would have made a huge profit.

After realizing Lin Zhao's thoughts, Granny Honghu laughed in anger and couldn't help but swear: "That scroll is a cultivation method that can continuously increase its level along with the cultivation of the Ice Soul Saint Lord. It is an existence above the Heavenly Grade cultivation method. Three thousand high-grade spirit stones? You are not even worthy of seeing a hair of this cultivation method."

This thing can be said to be one of a kind in the world, a rare treasure with no market value, and it is only so cheap in the eyes of someone like Lin Zhao who does not know its value.

"Wait a minute." Pulling himself back from the excitement of suddenly becoming rich overnight, Lin Zhao asked, "How can you guarantee that the Worry-Free Chamber of Commerce will give me a 30% controlling stake?"

“Because I hold 70% of the shares in the Worry-Free Chamber of Commerce.” Zhao Wuyan held the scroll and looked at her calmly. “Before my mother passed away, she entrusted her family’s chamber of commerce to me. In recent years, I have been unable to cultivate, so I have been managing the chamber of commerce. I have expanded it from Beicheng to the entire Northwest Continent, which can be considered a success.”

Is this merely considered an achievement?

Lin Zhao seemed to understand why the Zhao family, a family from a border city, could hire a sixth-grade alchemist.
