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

Chapter 266 Heir

The sect leader smiled without saying a word, waiting for Lin Zhao to come over. After handing over the matters in the cave to the current Qingjianfeng Peak Master of the Phoenix Medicine Sect—his eldest disciple and Song Tingning's master—he then left with Lin Zhao and the other elders and peak masters of the Phoenix Medicine Sect.

When the sect leader opened the sect leader's council hall, which had not been opened for many years, the elders and peak masters all felt as if they had been transported to another world.

Over the years, with the Second Elder in power, they have almost become accustomed to discussing important matters at the Second Elder's cave on Qingyun Peak. They have almost forgotten that the Phoenix Medicine Sect has a real council chamber, but the barrier here can only be opened by successive sect leaders and their successors.

Since the Second Elder was neither the sect leader nor had he been qualified as the successor, he naturally could not open this ancient formation.

Once inside the council hall, the sect leader once again proposed the idea of ​​making Lin Zhao the successor of the Phoenix Medicine Sect.

Upon hearing the sect leader's idea, not only the Fifth Elder, but also the other elders and peak masters frowned.

Among them, the Fourth Elder, as the Peak Master of Saint Cloud Peak, one of the Seven Main Peaks, was the most outspoken. He directly said, "If someone at the Heartbeat Stage can be established as the successor, wouldn't that make the dominant sects of other continents laugh at my Phoenix Medicine Sect for having no one in the younger generation? I don't deny this girl's talent and her contributions in this great battle, but there have been many geniuses throughout history who were famous at the Heartbeat Stage but eventually faded into obscurity!"

The Fifth Elder, the peak master of Qingling Peak, also nodded, indicating his agreement with the Fourth Elder's words. It was already an exceptionally generous treatment for a cultivator in the Heartbeat stage to receive their ancestral cultivation method. How could they just hand over the position of successor like that?
After hearing what the two said, the sect leader smiled without saying a word and looked at the current leader of Qingyun Peak, one of the remaining three peaks.

After the Second Elder was suppressed and Minglan awaited trial, the position of Qingyun Peak Master passed to the Second Elder's junior brother. The Second Elder's junior brother, who came to the meeting on behalf of the Second Elder, stroked his mustache. He didn't care who the successor was, as long as it didn't affect Qingyun Peak's ability to expand its wealth. So, the Second Elder's junior brother had no objections to this position.

With the person in charge of Qingjian Peak absent, Qingyun Peak remaining silent, and Qingling Peak expressing its opposition, the three peaks as a whole do not recognize Lin Zhao as their successor.

However, as the master of the Qingjianfeng Peak Master, the sect leader himself represents Qingjianfeng. Therefore, the three peaks are still quite unclear about whether they can appoint a Heartbeat Stage cultivator as their successor.

Seeing that the other peak masters remained silent, the sect leader spoke up: "Major matters of our Phoenix Medicine Sect are decided by referring to the resolutions of the seven main peak masters. If more than half of them do not pass, and less than half do not pass. Now that four peak masters have expressed their opinions, I wonder what the other peak masters think?"

Of the four lower peaks, Saint Cloud Peak declined, leaving the other three to decide.

Lin Zhao had never been interested in the title of heir to the Phoenix Medicine Sect. Seeing that the sect leader had just finished dealing with important matters and then called such a meeting for him, he felt somewhat apologetic and said, "Sect Leader, this disciple..."

The sect leader raised his hand, signaling her to be quiet.

Lin Zhao obediently remained silent.

"I know that you peak masters are used to seeing all kinds of geniuses, but everyone, the Phoenix Medicine Sect is now in a state of turmoil and is even weaker than when it left the Central Continent. It can be said that things are different now than before. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Also... little girl, release your divine palace and let the peak masters see your spiritual energy foundation."

Lin Zhao's lips twitched, but she still did as instructed.

When the foundation of the nine-layered divine palace and the ten thousand streams of spiritual energy appeared, even the Fifth Elder could hardly contain himself.

Previously, he had only sensed that Lin Zhao's talent was terrifying, but he did not take it seriously. After all, he had seen many geniuses in the Central Continent and looked down on the other elders and disciples' amazement at Lin Zhao. Now that he truly understood Lin Zhao's spiritual foundation, his previous firm disagreement had softened.

To be honest, even the founder of the Phoenix Medicine Sect didn't reach this level of talent.

The peak master of Qingyun Peak glanced at Lin Zhao again, as if he had finally remembered something: "This girl is from our Qingyun Peak, right?" The other peak masters couldn't help but cast disdainful glances at her. When Lin Zhao was questioned by the two peak masters just now, this old guy was calm and didn't say a word. Now that he knows about her talent, he immediately declared his home turf.

Director Qingyun Peak was looked at with disdain by them. He had no other merits except that he owed a lot of money and had developed an extremely thick skin. He didn't care about other people's opinions.

After all, face can't be used as money, but he didn't dare to imagine how many disciples the gimmick of the Phoenix Medicine Sect's heir coming from Qingyun Peak could attract for him!

He became rich at that time!

The sect leader had no intention of taking Lin Zhao out of Qingyun Peak. After all, everyone in the Phoenix Medicine Sect knew how unreliable the current peak master was, and the matter of the second elder would inevitably have a great impact on the strongest of the three peaks.

In order to stabilize the hearts of the other disciples and elders of Qingyun Peak and maintain the tripartite balance of power among Qingyun, Qingjian, and Qingling Peaks, it is necessary to have someone who can hold a position in the hearts of the people that is no less than that of the Second Elder.

Therefore, in addition to his appreciation and gratitude for Lin Zhao, he also considered the situation of the sect when deciding to give Lin Zhao the position of successor.

Now that the Phoenix Medicine Sect is in dire need of rebuilding, the first thing he needs to do is to stabilize the morale of its members.

The other peak masters quickly came up with the same idea. The Holy Spirit Peak and the Holy Phoenix Peak expressed their agreement: "Such talent is something that even the geniuses of transcendent forces would find difficult to match. We think it is appropriate."

The peak master of Sacred Medicine Peak had been observing Lin Zhao for a while, and only asked when it was Lin Zhao's turn to speak, "I wonder if your secondary cultivation is alchemy?"

Lin Zhao glanced at the peak master of Sacred Medicine Peak in surprise: "This junior is indeed skilled in alchemy and spirit talismans, and is already a level 5 spirit talisman master and a level 5 alchemist."

Upon hearing Lin Zhao's words, all the peak masters' expressions turned strange, and the Fourth Elder couldn't help but say, "Don't boast too much, or things will get messy later."

Which of them here isn't an old monster who has cultivated for thousands of years?

Who could not tell that Lin Zhao's bone age was not even eighteen? To have such cultivation at this age was already terrifying. Now this girl is telling them that she has cultivated two secondary paths, and both of these paths are in line with her current cultivation level.

That's practically impossible!

The peak master of Sacred Medicine Peak said, "Fourth brother, you've misjudged this time. I can sense that this girl's soul strength is indeed at the standard of a fifth-grade alchemist, or even more."

The Fourth Elder's face fell, and his expression wasn't very pleasant. However, he understood his fellow disciple's temperament. For this old scoundrel from Sacred Medicine Peak to say such a thing meant that the girl's alchemy skills were genuine.

So he kept quiet.

Seeing this, the sect leader asked again, "So, I intend to appoint Lin Hui as the successor. Does anyone have any objections?"

The room was completely silent until a faint sound broke out.

"Sect Leader, I'm sorry, but my real name is Lin Zhao. Lin Hui is an alias."
