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

Chapter 228 Yun Che and Yun Zhong
Overnight, Lin Zhao looked at the three fully formed purple vortexes in his hand and felt a headache coming on as he sorted through most of the memories in his mind.

"Time waits for no one."

With the sun about to rise, it was time for her to learn the Bodhi Slash and Thousand Spirit Sword Technique.

"Master, which is better to learn, the Bodhi Slash or the Thousand Spirits Sword Technique?"

Grandma Honghu said, "The Bodhi Slash requires a certain state of mind. First, practice the Thousand Spirits Sword Technique, which you already have a certain foundation in."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao stepped out of the waterfall and saw the little fox that had appeared at some point in the place where he had been standing. He searched his storage ring and found a silver-white pill.

"Blue Duck's memories tell me that this is a pill that is very helpful to the demon race."

Lin Zhao placed the pill near the little fox's mouth, and the little fox sniffed it before swallowing it in one gulp.

"That's a Demon Spirit Pill." Granny Honghu explained after watching Lin Zhao feed it to him, "It's indeed a good thing. It will be two or three years before this little guy digests the effects of the medicine. During this time, he won't be able to stick to you."

Lin Zhao looked at the little fox who had closed its eyes after taking the pill and asked, "...Teacher, are you doing this on purpose?"

Grandma Honghu's voice sounded a little guilty: "This kid has been sticking to you all this time. If he saw how hard you've been cultivating lately, wouldn't he be heartbroken?"

Lin Zhao didn't dwell on it. After sending the little fox into the cave and setting up the formation, he returned to his original spot to wait for Yun Zhong's arrival.

He arrived quickly, and Lin Zhao noticed that Yun Chong's pupils seemed to have a faint silver tint this time.

"Let's begin. Show me a basic sword technique so I can see your fundamentals."

Lin Zhao nodded, summoned the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword, and began to wield the sword according to the Azure Lotus Sword Technique taught by the Myriad Swords Sect.

After the swordsmanship demonstration, Lin Zhao looked at Yun Zhong.

Yun Zhong, who had intended to thoroughly teach Lin Zhao the basics, was speechless.

He paused for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Who taught you the basics?"

Lin Zhao gave a wry smile: "I learned from others and practiced every day. Is there a problem with that?"

When she was learning swordsmanship, Chen Luoluo had already entered Cloud Peak. The Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable's full attention was on Chen Luoluo, so how could he have time to teach her?
Although Master Xiao wanted to teach her, she was a body cultivator, not a sword cultivator, so he couldn't give Lin Zhao much guidance in this area.

Therefore, Lin Zhao followed the path of diligence to make up for her shortcomings, practicing a thousand times, ten thousand times, a hundred thousand times, day after day for decades.

"No problem, your basic skills are sufficient to learn the Thousand Spirits Sword Technique, they are very solid."

Yun Chong considered himself a picky person, but once he achieved something truly impeccable, even he couldn't find fault with it.

"Now, look at me."

He broke off a tree branch, and his figure began to move.

Lin Zhao stared intently.

In fact, she was already very familiar with this move; it was the very first Thousand Spirit Slash. But seeing Yun Chong use it, Lin Zhao gained a different understanding.

Her Thousand Spirit Slash had plenty of killing intent but lacked power, and it was far less swift and decisive than Yun Chong's.

After reading it, Lin Zhao pondered for a moment. When Yun Chong asked her to try it herself, she raised her sword and performed the Thousand Spirit Slash in a way she had never thought of before. Yun Chong watched and frowned.

"You were able to perform Thousand Spirit Slash so skillfully on your first try, your talent as a swordsman is undeniable. However, you are focusing too much on my style of performing Thousand Spirit Slash, which is wrong. Every swordsman has their own path. Even the same spiritual technique will have completely different effects in the hands of different swordsmen. You should use your own style to perform Thousand Spirit Slash."

Lin Zhao then performed the Thousand Spirit Slash as he had done before, and this time Yun nodded in approval.

“Very good, specializing in killing intent, sharp and fierce.” Yun Zhong said, “Then you are learning much faster than I expected. Now I will teach you the second and third moves.”

So, under the blazing sun and beside the silvery stream, Lin Zhao spent a full six months learning all the sword moves of the Thousand Spirits Sword Technique.

As the sword light from her bone sword severed the flow of the waterfall, Yun Zhong clapped his hands: "That's enough. I have taught you all the moves of the Thousand Spirits Sword Technique, and my injuries are almost healed. All that's left for you is to comprehend these moves."

Lin Zhao sheathed his bone sword and looked at Yun Zhong, whose aloof and refined demeanor had become increasingly undisguised over the past six months. His silver eyes no longer concealed his identity.

"Thank you."

Yun Zhong noticed Lin Zhao's attitude and slowly lowered his eyes: "You're indeed clever. When did you find out my identity?"

Lin Zhao helplessly spread his hands, his gaze falling on the waterfall, a shadow falling over his eyes: "Actually, at first I was just suspicious, thinking that someone like you wouldn't be able to realize it in your true form. But after you used the Thousand Spirits Sword Technique, I became certain. I am very grateful for your guidance over the past six months, but it is impossible for me to let go of the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable because of this."

Yun Zhong, or perhaps he should be called Yun Che, knew he couldn't persuade the girl to let go of that hatred, so he could only sigh: "Even though we already know his reasons for doing what he did back then?"

Whatever his reasons are, what do they have to do with me? All I need to know is that he must die by my hand.

Yun Che remained silent: "Qu Shu asked me to tell you that she is grateful that you received the Blue Duck's inheritance."

Upon hearing the familiar name, Lin Zhao's expression softened for a moment, but only for a moment: "What does this have to do with Qu Shu?"

Yun Che said, "My sister is Qu Shu's mother. She eloped with Qu Shu's father and gave birth to Qu Shu. After that, she died in order to suppress the evil thoughts of another world. The Heavenly Phoenix Clan was unwilling to take her into the Heavenly Phoenix Cemetery. However, if Qu Shu obtains the Thousand Autumn Flower and his bloodline evolves to the same level as the Ancestral Phoenix, even the Heavenly Phoenix Clan cannot refuse."

Lin Zhao was taken aback, not expecting that the person in front of him had this relationship with Qu Shu.

She sensed something was wrong from the other person's words: "Aren't the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan the same clan?"

"It is a clan, the ancient Celestial Phoenix, where women are revered. The males are called Celestial Phoenixes, and the females are called Celestial Phoenixes. They are generally referred to as the Celestial Phoenix Clan. The term Celestial Phoenix Clan is only used to emphasize that it is the Celestial Phoenixes who do the work. Moreover, in recent years, the Celestial Phoenix Clan has been declining, with fewer and fewer Celestial Phoenixes, while the number of Celestial Phoenixes has increased several times over."

Therefore, those who have ventured out over the years are all Heavenly Phoenixes, and they have become accustomed to being called the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

After Lin Zhao understood, he waved his hand and said, "We were just getting what we needed. I didn't mean to help Qu Shu's mother. It was just a coincidence. He doesn't need to thank me."

Yun Che looked at her for a while and sighed: "Your marriage contract with Qu Shu... If Qu Shu's bloodline is really close to that of the Ancestral Phoenix, perhaps the Heavenly Phoenix Clan will not let you go."

Lin Zhao: "?!" I knew it!
"For those proud Heavenly Phoenixes, the strongest Heavenly Phoenix should belong to the true pure-blooded Heavenly Phoenix, while you are merely a human."

Lin Zhao, with a headache, indicated that she understood.

"I've said my piece. Now, I would like to ask the Lord of the Secret Realm to escort me out. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

Lin Zhao returned the greeting, opened the secret realm, and sent him out.

As soon as Yun Chong left, Lin Zhao scratched his head and asked Granny Honghu, "Master, Master, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is attacking! How do I run away?"
