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

Chapter 194 Prince Chiyuan
Don't know their race?
Before Lin Zhao could speak, Grandma Honghu became interested in her mind.

"Has he been dead for a long time?" Lin Zhao asked, following Grandma Honghu's instructions.

Nie Shenghai shook his head with a wry smile: "No, it's not that. Dragon bones remain incorruptible even after ten thousand years. The reason this dragon bone is of unknown race is because it has a seal on it, so even if ordinary people buy it, they can't use it. That's why it has repeatedly failed to sell at auction houses, which is why it ended up in our small place."

Lin Zhao raised an eyebrow. As Nie Shenghai finished speaking, Grandma Honghu's voice of sudden realization appeared in her mind at the same time.

"Indeed, this is the consistent practice of the dragon race. Before dying in a foreign land, dragons will seal their entire bodies to ensure that they will not benefit other races after death. Most dragons will try to return to the Dragon Tomb to end their lives, dedicating their entire being to the dragon race."

Lin Zhao asked, "Should we still buy this dragon bone, Master?"

"Buy it, why not buy it? It's already dead, just a bone left. So what if it's a seal from the ancient dragon clan?"

Lin Zhao sighed, "Alright, let's give it a try."

Seeing that Lin Zhao seemed to have made up her mind, Nie Shenghai, who had delivered the message, carefully carried the jade bottle given to him by Lin Zhao, instructed the maid to treat Lin Zhao well, and then went to find the alchemist at the auction house to appraise it.

As soon as he stepped out, there was a rapid knocking at the door.

Lin Zhao rested his chin on his hand, lazily chewing on a spiritual fruit on the tray. Hearing the sound, he told the maid to open the door.

After the maid opened the door, Lin Zhao met the gaze of a red-haired boy.

When the red-haired youth saw Lin Zhao, his crimson pupils narrowed, and then he immediately smiled: "My name is Chi Yuan."

Lin Zhao swallowed the spiritual fruit and asked expressionlessly, "You were looking for me?"

"Correct."

"what's up?"

"I would like to ask you, fairy, if you have any intention of developing your career in the Central Continent? I can introduce you to the royal family of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire."

Lin Zhao tossed away the fruit pit, wiped her hands, and said, "If you have no interest, is there anything else? If not, please leave."

Chi Yuan: "..."

He had never been rejected like this before, from childhood to adulthood.

But when he met someone of the opposite sex for the first time in twenty-seven years, he still gave her patience.

"May I ask your name?"

Lin Zhao grabbed a pastry and stuffed it into her mouth. When she was almost finished eating, she saw him still standing there dumbfounded, and her brows slowly furrowed.

Her coldness towards the boy wasn't because he was offensive or anything, but because she sensed an extreme sense of danger emanating from him.

This sense of danger first came from a peer.

This young man's cultivation level is probably terrifying.

“Zhao Ling’er,” Lin Zhao said.

Chi Yuan then turned and left, satisfied.

The crystal door closed, shutting out the sounds from inside and outside. The tall young man next to Chi Yuan said calmly, "You actually didn't follow His Majesty's wishes to date Ji Wantang, but instead took a fancy to a cultivator in the Fusion stage here. You're not planning to take her back as a concubine, are you?" Chi Yuan glanced at him, "My mother's intentions are not my intentions. I'm not interested in strong women like Ji Wantang who only have blood and violence in their minds. I've said it before, I like someone with a pure and bright temperament like the moon. Ji Wantang... apart from her face, no, even her face doesn't fit my aesthetic."

The young man Yi Qingyang clicked his tongue: "I just glanced at that girl you took a fancy to. She was stuffing spiritual fruits and pastries into her mouth. She doesn't seem like the otherworldly goddess you've always described."

Chi Yuan scoffed: "That's because you don't know how to appreciate it."

"Then you'd better hide her well. One integration period... isn't enough for Ji Wantang to crush her with one finger."

Chi Yuan naturally understood this principle as well, and his gaze deepened: "In the Imperial Election, I will defeat Ji Wantang and tell the Empress and the Ancestral Phoenix Continent that I am the most suitable person for the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor's throne."

The succession of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire, while considering bloodline, places even greater emphasis on the strongest young generation on the continent, as only the strongest can secure the highest position.

Moreover, Ji Wantang's inherent Phoenix Luck has already infinitely offset the disadvantage of not possessing the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor.

Phoenix Luck is itself a synonym for the person destined by fate in the plane created by the Ancestral Phoenix.

The Ancestral Phoenix Empire has always revered the strong, with abdication as the primary method and kinship as a secondary consideration. The royal family is merely a symbol of the current emperor's kinship.

Chi Yuan understood perfectly well that Ji Wantang surpassed him in every aspect.

"Then you'd better be careful. The blood phoenix luck on Ji Wantang has made her temperament increasingly eccentric over the years. The young master of the transcendent power who challenged her before not only had his internal organs ruptured, but his soul was also severely injured by her. When she fights, she doesn't care who her opponent is; it's all deadly. However, I heard that there were once two Heavenly Phoenix Maidens on the Heavenly Phoenix Continent. Look at Ji Wantang now, and then look at the other one who is still on the Heavenly Phoenix Continent. They are worlds apart."

When Yi Qingyang mentioned Ji Wantang, he couldn't help but mention Ji Wantang's destiny as a phoenix.

"If she weren't afraid of going berserk, she should have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage before the election, right? When the election started, she was only nineteen, a nineteen-year-old Nascent Soul cultivator... what a freak!"

"At worst, I'll join forces with Prince Ye's heir."

"Are you sure? Your cousin is deeply in love with Ji Wantang."

……

Inside the glass gate, although he had already guessed, Lin Zhao still felt a cold sweat break out when he learned that the boy who looked only sixteen or seventeen was actually twenty-seven years old and had the cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage.

"How could a cultivator of this level appear here?"

Such a young Nascent Soul cultivator, coupled with the implications of his words, suggests he is likely a member of the royal family of the Ancestral Phoenix Continent.

"I'm afraid it's also for that piece of dragon bone," Grandma Honghu made the worst-case scenario prediction.

Lin Zhao's heart sank to the bottom: "If we compete with cultivators of this level, we are definitely no match for them."

"Not necessarily," said Granny Honghu. "I haven't made a move these past few days. After you obtained the Phoenix Vein Dual Techniques, the nourishment you provided has allowed me to recover my cultivation to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Since they haven't revealed their identities to others, they must want to quietly swallow this dragon bone. We should act according to the situation. A dragon bone that can attract the attention of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire's royal family is something we should at least try to acquire."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded: "Okay!"

She was extremely curious, because although dragon bones were rare, they were not considered particularly valuable to the elites of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire's royal family.

If the other party really came for this piece of dragon bone, then what is so special about it?
"However, that kid has a heavy remnant of the Blood Phoenix Luck on him, and he and Ji Wantang are probably acquainted."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "You're acquainted with Ji Wantang? Then I'm even more eager to snatch things from him."
