Chapter 324 Sending Off the Pistil

"A little, but your Danxiang is there, which greatly makes up for the lack of spiritual energy in you. Only those who are born with the Heavenly Phoenix Luck and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan can use the Heavenly Phoenix Dharma Body."

Lin Zhao had just been comforted by Grandma Honghu's earlier words, but upon hearing the second half of the sentence, she couldn't hold back anymore.

"But teacher, my Phoenix Luck is not the Phoenix Luck of the Heavenly Phoenix."

Ancient Phoenix's Fate, Heavenly Phoenix's Fate—a difference of one word, yet worlds apart.

One can only be described as the king of phoenixes, while the other is the undisputed emperor. How can these two be compared?

Grandma Honghu said, "So this is also a test from your master. In fact, your current Phoenix Luck can no longer be said to be the normal Ancient Phoenix Luck, because it was incomplete from the beginning. But it is precisely because of its incompleteness that you have a great deal of space to accept the recognition of the luck from other bloodlines of the Phoenix Clan, such as Honghu, Qingluan, Lei Niao, Dafeng Niao, Lan Fu, and even the divine consciousness of Bing Huang on your body. So your Phoenix Luck has already completed the initial transformation in its incompleteness and is faintly taking the shape of the Heavenly Phoenix Luck."

Lin Zhao summoned his Phoenix Luck and stared at the purple phoenix perched on his shoulder, remaining in a daze for a long time.

"So Master means that even a prototype is acceptable?"

"Are you going to find Qu Shu? Then I can tell you that although the people of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan are relatively easy to talk to, the absolute pride of this race will not allow just anyone to enter. Therefore, only when you have cultivated the Heavenly Phoenix Dharma Body will you be qualified to see the strongest Heavenly Phoenix of this generation."

Lin Zhao held the scroll in his hand and sighed, "It seems I have no choice but to start cultivating."

Although I'm not very confident, there are some things that still need to be done.

Lin Zhao took two spiritual techniques, the first of which was the relatively simple Emperor Phoenix Palm.

This palm technique takes even longer to master than the Xuanxu Shadow Movement. If it weren't for the fact that time flows differently in the Blue Duck Secret Realm than in the outside world, Lin Zhao would have been astonished by the time it took him to research a spiritual skill.

The name "Emperor Phoenix Palm" is simple, and its moves are not fancy. It involves condensing one's energy into a palm and transforming it into a seal.

The difficult part is the transformation of the seal. It requires quickly casting out the complex incantations and spiritual seals and fusing them into a palm print, which is quite challenging.

Granny Honghu and the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon gave Lin Zhao pointers from time to time.

Under the tireless guidance of the two great masters, it took Lin Zhao a full six months to finally be able to barely unleash a single palm strike.

With a palm strike into the void, Lin Zhao heard a tremendous rumbling sound coming from the distant desert. Looking at his own palm, he was shocked by the destructive power of this spiritual technique.

This is the first spiritual technique that, without depleting much of its own spiritual energy, caused terrifying damage from a distance.

"What's so special about this?" the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon said. "The close-range attack damage of this spiritual technique is enough to blast a Nascent Soul cultivator of the same level as you into a bloody mess."

Ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators do not possess the physical strength of Lin Zhao.

The power of the Emperor Phoenix Palm is as domineering as its name suggests.

Lin Zhao smiled wryly: "If an opponent can make me unleash a complete Emperor Phoenix Palm at close range, even if I don't use the Emperor Phoenix Palm, he is no match for me."

The Emperor Phoenix Palm doesn't draw out much spiritual energy, but it's extremely lethal. However, the charging time and the time to form the seal are really long; in other words, the wind-up is too long.

If Lin Zhao were to unleash a palm strike at her current speed, and use it in combat, her opponent could dismantle her during the initial animation.

"Then practice." Granny Honghu said succinctly, "Now that we know the attack methods of the Emperor Phoenix Palm, speed can be trained."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao couldn't help but make a bitter face.

Although she said that the Emperor Phoenix Palm doesn't consume that much spiritual energy, that's relative to the other spiritual techniques she has mastered. If she keeps practicing it, the Emperor Phoenix Palm can still drain her of spiritual energy several times.

But since her master had spoken, Lin Zhao had no choice but to bite the bullet and begin. Another six months passed.

Lin Zhao practiced for a whole year before reaching a level that both Granny Honghu and the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon nodded in approval.

"Your cultivation has improved quite well this past year," said the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon after sensing Lin Zhao's current spiritual energy foundation of 1.3 million.

Lin Zhao said, "The number of Dao has increased by 300,000, but I feel that this increase is far from enough for me to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

"..."

Hearing Lin Zhao's words, the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon rolled its eyes, "Even a genius takes several decades to go from the early to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm. What's the rush for you after only a year?"

“She really has reason to be anxious,” said Granny Honghu. “I have the formula for the pills that help Nascent Soul cultivators advance to the next level. You can refine them yourself.”

Lin Zhao took the pill formula and noticed that many of the medicinal herbs were not found in the secret realm. He asked, "Do we need to go out and gather them?"

Grandma Honghu nodded: "Your mental state and physical body are both sufficient for advancement. Advancing one level with the help of pills is not a big problem. However, you will need to stabilize it yourself afterward."

Lin Zhao accepted the pill formula and nodded: "Then let's go and look for it in Wolong Valley."

Anyway, she didn't care about the other dragon-type spirit beasts on the outskirts, it was time for her to go in and train.

The remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon reminded her: "Make a disguise. Your face is rather attractive. That Chaofeng is just annoyed by you. Other dragon-blooded spirit beasts won't give up on a beauty like you."

Lin Zhao also thought it made some sense, so he disguised himself, keeping only the outline of his facial features and weakening the rest. After that, he looked only above average in appearance, and then Lin Zhao left the secret realm.

She continued walking deeper into Wolong Valley, and before she reached the entrance to the dark valley, a slender woman came into view.

Lin Zhao instinctively gripped the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword.

"It's me, it's me." When the woman saw Lin Zhao, her eyes lit up at first. Then, after clearly seeing Lin Zhao's appearance, she frowned for a long time before finally asking uncertainly, "Are you my benefactor?"

Lin Zhao remained silent, but she quickly discerned the other person's identity from their similar facial features: "Pistil?!"

She could hardly believe that the slender, delicate-featured woman in front of her was the same burly, strong woman she had seen before.

"It's me now." Ci Rui chuckled, but before her chuckle was like a strong man baring his teeth, now it was like a beautiful woman acting coquettishly, which made Lin Zhao extremely uncomfortable.

"Wasn't I beautiful when I was originally?" the pistil asked.

Lin Zhao nodded: "You came to see me?"

“Yes, I sensed your presence and rushed here. I know you’re going to the depths of Wolong Valley. These things aren’t of much use to me, so you can take them. And this, was given to me by A Bao’s father.”

Pisces took off a talisman from her neck: "He said it could withstand a full-force attack from a cultivator below the True Immortal level. I didn't believe it before, but after you told me about his identity, I think it's believable. Here, take it."

Lin Zhao looked at the several tattered spatial rings piled up in front of him and fell silent.

These spatial rings didn't have much storage capacity, but when Lin Zhao scanned them with his divine sense, they were full of good things.

This should be all the pistils we've kept over the years.

She picked up the spatial rings, selected a few herbs that she needed for alchemy, and threw the rest into a decent-quality spatial ring that she had discarded: "I only need some herbs, the rest I don't need. As for the amulet, your husband gave it to you, it should only protect you, keep it safe and wait for him to come back."
