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

Chapter 192 Rising to Rich Status
With the physical pain that had plagued him for twenty years finally resolved, Zhao Wuyan felt much better.

Compared to his previous icy demeanor, his attitude towards Lin Zhao at this moment could be described as gentle and mild.

"Over the years, my family has not moved with me to the central city of the Northwest Continent because of my health. Once I am able to cultivate, I will go to the Phoenix Medicine Sect with you. My father and younger sister should also move to the vicinity of the Phoenix Medicine Sect."

Lin Zhao caught the key point: "You're coming with me to the Phoenix Medicine Sect?"

"Correct."

Unrolling the scroll, Zhao Wuyan's expression remained unchanged. If it weren't for the fact that his aura had indeed softened considerably, Lin Zhao would have thought that he was completely emotionless.

However, it was obvious that Zhao Wuyan's gaze had become even sharper after he learned that he could cultivate. However, the previous sharpness was tinged with a world-weary and gloomy edge, while the current sharpness was tinged with a firm and steady edge.

"Our public identities are that of an engaged couple, so naturally we should be together. Otherwise, when the time comes, that steward from the Phoenix Medicine Sect will send someone to arrest us."

Lin Zhao didn't understand: "You're the owner of such a big business guild, why are you afraid of a mere steward like her?"

Zhao Wuyan glanced at her indifferently: "No matter how big the Worry-Free Chamber of Commerce is, it's still just a chamber of commerce, while the Phoenix Medicine Sect, even in its decline, is still the dominant force in the Northwest Continent. The common people don't fight against officials; that's always been the case. Moreover, the person behind that steward is the Second Elder of the Phoenix Medicine Sect. If I bring up the Worry-Free Chamber of Commerce, it will only whet their appetite even more. At that time, not only will the Worry-Free Chamber of Commerce not be able to protect me, but I will also drag the Worry-Free Chamber of Commerce into the Phoenix Medicine Sect's power."

Lin Zhao realized, good heavens, so that steward not only coveted Zhao Wuyan's body, but also his family fortune.

"Wait, is the Second Elder behind that steward?" Lin Zhao interrupted Zhao Wuyan before he could say anything more.

If she remembered correctly, that Second Elder was the current head of the Phoenix Medicine Sect.

In other words, while it seemed like he had only offended a deacon from the Phoenix Medicine Sect by helping the Zhao family, he had actually offended the Second Elder?!

“Yes.” Zhao Wuyan held the scroll, not saying that as long as it didn’t involve the Worry-Free Merchant Guild, and she was only representing the Zhao family in dealing with that steward, the Second Elder wouldn’t make things difficult for her. She only said, “It’s not too late for you to back out now.”

"There's no need to go back on my word. I'm just asking to make sure that I'll be more cautious about that Second Elder in the future."

Lin Zhao has never gone back on her promises to others.

Besides, what she wanted to do was to confront that person in power.

It was bound to happen sooner or later, so Lin Zhao naturally didn't care too much.

However, her words clearly caused Zhao Wuyan to misunderstand.

Ever since he was chosen by that deacon of the Phoenix Medicine Sect, countless people have gloated over the Zhao family's misfortune, coveted it, or tried to take advantage of its misfortune.

Leaving aside those who cheated and swindled to gain the trust of his relatives, the ugly faces that Zhao Wuyan's own relatives have shown these days have disgusted him.

This is the first person who, even after he proposed helping the Zhao family, would mean going against the current leader of the Phoenix Medicine Sect, remained steadfastly on their side.

He lowered his eyes, his grip on the scroll tightening.

"I plan to buy some medicinal herbs for alchemy and won't stay here for long. Before I leave, I will set up a few formations for you so that no one except cultivators in the Fusion stage can break in and disturb you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuyan's eyes flickered, and a platinum card appeared in his hand.

"This is a premium member card of the Worry-Free Merchant Guild. In the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, you will receive the lowest discount when you visit any of the Worry-Free Merchant Guild's businesses."

Lin Zhao: "!!!" There's such a good thing!

After receiving it, she tried her best to suppress her emotional fluctuations so as not to appear too pathetic.

"Young Master Zhao, rest assured, from now on, the Zhao family's affairs are my affairs. Anyone who bullies you is bullying me, Lin Zhao."

Grandma Honghu sighed softly in her mind's eye.

Lin Zhao immediately became alert: "Master, is there something wrong with this card?"

Does Zhao Wuyan intend to scheme against her?
“No, the card is fine,” said Granny Honghu. “I was just thinking that there’s another unlucky person in this world.”

Lin Zhao didn't quite understand this sentence, but that didn't stop her from officially announcing today that she had become a rich woman in the Ancestral Phoenix Continent!
“I have never felt so rich, Master.”

"Given the Lin family's businesses, they should have this kind of income by now, right?"

"No, no, no, my mother told me about the Lin family's situation. They have a lot of income, but they also spend a lot. My mother said that the Chamber of Commerce can be very profitable if it is well-managed, but there is no one in the Lin family who can help her, so she didn't manage the Chamber of Commerce. I never expected that when I came to the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, I would witness the power of the Chamber of Commerce."

If the Lin family weren't truly lacking in such talent, Lin Zhao would genuinely want to start a Lin Clan Chamber of Commerce. Don't tell her that cultivators don't value money; every step a cultivator takes requires a massive amount of resources, and these resources are acquired by spending spirit stones one by one.

Can you obtain spirit stones solely through cultivation? Obviously not.

This requires certain industries.

Unfortunately, the Lin family's business followed the traditional path, and at most they could only make a slight profit, not become as wealthy as large chambers of commerce.

Just like the Lin family certainly has an income of several hundred billion spirit stones a year, or even more, but the Lin family's expenses far exceed what is needed to run a chamber of commerce.

Therefore, Lin Zhao never touched the card inside the ring that his family gave him.

Zhao Wuyan didn't seem to be opposed to accepting Lin Zhao's help at this moment. He nodded and added, "As for the controlling stake in the Worry-Free Chamber of Commerce, I have already had people prepare for it. When we return to the Zhao family, I will sign a spiritual contract with you."

Lin Zhao nodded; she still trusted Zhao Wuyan to some extent for taking out the card.

After setting up the formation and carrying a huge amount of wealth, Lin Zhao opened the Heavenly Mirror and replied to the messages on it one by one.

Suddenly I noticed a message lying in the corner.

Su Bai: [Sister, I've arrived in the Ancestral Phoenix Continent]

The message indicates it was the day she arrived at the Zhao family's house.

What's this kid doing in the Ancestral Phoenix Continent?

Lin Zhao's gaze lingered briefly on the message, unsure of what the kid wanted to do or what he was trying to convey. He simply replied with a "Okay".

It's a shame I didn't add Jin Ya's Tian Tong account, or the Tian Tong accounts of people she knows, otherwise it would be much easier to find her now.

Fortunately, when she opened the Tian Tong Mirror friend request, a Tian Tong friend request relieved her troubles.

【Jinwuya】has requested to become your friend.

It seems this friend request was sent a few days after she arrived on the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, but she only noticed it now that she had opened the Heavenly Mirror friend request.

After her application was approved, the message came almost instantly.

[I'm in Wolong Valley, and there's a giant reptile trying to steal my food! Come quick!]

Lin Zhao saw the message, remained silent for a long time, and then replied with a single sentence.

Where is Wolong Valley? I'm in Beicheng, Northwest Continent.

The other party also took a long time to reply.

[What are you doing in that remote corner?! I'm on the Central Continent! No wonder I couldn't sense your location because of our contract. Luckily, I got your Tian Tong number from those old men in the Lin family.]

Lin Zhao thought for a moment and then replied.

I will probably set off for the Central Continent in about two years.

Jin Ya: [So long?! Are you planning to have a litter of babies there or what?]

"I want to participate in the Imperial Election of the Ancestral Phoenix Continent."

【Then wait here, I'll come find you. Give me a seat!】

After Lin Zhao sent the news from her place to Jin Ya, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

She was genuinely worried that this stubborn little devil wouldn't come over from the Central Continent.

Although Jin Ya wouldn't actually die, she was still bound to him by a contract, and Lin Zhao didn't want anything to happen to her on the Ancestral Phoenix Continent.

My boss saw me slacking off while I was writing today... hehe.

He appeared out from behind me like a ghost and asked me what time it was! I would really thank him.
