Chapter 345 Mid-stage Nascent Soul
After feeling that his muscles and bones had recovered to about 70-80%, Lin Zhao began to try refining pills.

Jin Ya was also well-behaved. While Lin Zhao was refining pills, she, Fan Chen, Zi Yue, and Ming Gui would catch spirit beasts and eat roasted meat on a nearby mountain.

If the pills Lin Zhao refined weren't of very good quality, he would give them to them as a treat.

After all, what Lin Zhao considered low quality was a rare and precious item for spirit beasts like them, whose physical bodies were strong and required a great deal of energy to break through.

So Lin Zhao was constantly refining pills, and the four of them searched all over the mountains and fields for medicinal herbs to use in his alchemy.

After this period of time, Lin Zhao's physical condition has recovered to its best, and the spiritual energy in his body is so abundant that he is on the verge of breaking through.

She popped a tonifying pill into her mouth, walked into the cave inside the waterfall, and instructed Jin Ya: "I may need to go into seclusion here for a while. During my seclusion, please record any activity on my Heavenly Mirror."

As Jin Ya stuffed a skewer of meat made from level-six spirit beast meat into her mouth, she nodded and said, "Leave it to me!"

Lin Zhao watched her eat with her mouth covered in oil. With a hint of disgust, she pulled a handkerchief from her sleeve: "Wipe yourself. I remember you used to be quite delicate, how come you've become more and more wild since you started following me?"

Doesn't she realize she's being so wild?
Jin Ya took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth: "You weren't this nagging when I first started following you! Now you're becoming more and more like an old woman, meddling in everything. Alright, alright, you should go into seclusion now!"

Lin Zhao was pushed into the cave, but he was still somewhat worried about Jin Ya.

With Ziyue watching over Fanchen, Minggui can manage on her own without worrying about him, but Jinya is another story. If that little girl goes crazy, those three definitely won't be able to control her.

Lin Zhao placed a wisp of his divine soul on Jin Ya before he could begin his seclusion.

Grandma Honghu said, "Don't be too restrained. It's normal for someone of the Golden Crow clan to be a little wild. You're treating her like a domesticated swan."

The fact that Jin Ya is not allowed to participate in dangerous battles and can eat whatever she wants is not all good for her.

Lin Zhao said, "After leaving Wolong Valley, I plan to go to the Demon Realm for further training."

Grandma Honghu knew her disciple was always decisive, but she didn't understand why she was going to the Demon Realm again. "Do you want to practice the Heavenly Withering Ancient Formation again?"

Lin Zhao shook her head; "No."

The remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon couldn't stand it any longer: "Little girl, do you want to train Golden Sprout and that Flood Dragon in the Demon Realm?"

Lin Zhao nodded: "Yes, but not entirely. I refined a lot of Mind-Clearing Pills to ensure that I would not be assimilated by the demonic energy. The demonic energy also contains the power of this plane, which the Golden Crow Divine Fire can transform."

Lin Zhao's last two sentences startled Granny Honghu: "You don't also plan to use the demon race to break through, do you?"

Lin Zhao said, "Why not? I plan to formally break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the Demon Realm, and then return to the Ancestral Phoenix Continent to participate in the Imperial Election."

Grandma Honghu felt it was a bit risky and couldn't help but advise, "Ji Wantang is only at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. From the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage to the Divine Transformation stage, no matter what level of genius she is, she needs at least several decades of accumulation and experience. You dare to say this because of the support of the Blue Duck Secret Realm. It is impossible for Ji Wantang to break through to the Divine Transformation stage. Why force it too much in this step?"

Lin Zhao shook her head; she dared not underestimate Ji Wantang's background.

“If it were someone else, I might think she wouldn’t be able to advance from the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage to the Deity Transformation stage, but Ji Wantang…”

The image of Ji Wantang pulling the demon princess into the carriage and devouring her flashed through Lin Zhao's mind, and her sense of crisis grew stronger: "Although I don't know why, I feel like she can."

Lin Zhao wasn't surprised that Ji Wantang, who possessed the complete Blood Phoenix Luck and most of the Ancient Phoenix Luck, could make any breakthroughs.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Honghu said no more.

There was indeed a connection between Lin Zhao and Ji Wantang that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Born on the same day, month, and year, the two destined phoenix maidens possess equally powerful phoenix fortunes—the Blood Phoenix Fortune and the Ancient Phoenix Fortune. This means that only one of them can remain.

Lin Zhao sat cross-legged and meditated, focusing his inner vision on his nascent soul.

Her nascent soul was already quite exquisite when she first entered the early stage of the nascent soul realm, and even some fine lines could be seen on the surface of her skin. As she was about to reach the middle stage of the nascent soul realm, Lin Zhao felt that her nascent soul seemed to have grown a little, and that sense of familiarity was becoming stronger and stronger.

This tiny person continuously absorbs spiritual energy within its inner sanctum.

Lin Zhao had a sudden thought and tried to control the other party, and was surprised to find that his nascent soul could also cultivate the Phoenix Vein Technique.

This realization made Lin Zhao's eyes widen.

The remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon chuckled and said, "What's so strange about that? With such a high degree of similarity, it's not surprising that your nascent soul is another version of yourself and can cultivate your techniques."

Lin Zhao suppressed his surprise, observed the Nascent Soul for a while, and then slowly frowned: "It seems that he can only do a part of it."

"The solidity of this Nascent Soul..." Granny Honghu looked at Lin Zhao's Nascent Soul and said, "Concentrate your mind and break through in one fell swoop!"

Lin Zhao slowly closed his eyes and began to circulate the Phoenix Vein Technique.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth swirled and surged towards Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao accepted all comers, rapidly transforming the mixed spiritual energy in the world with the Golden Crow Divine Fire and his own powerful cultivation techniques.

A month passed quickly with this kind of training.

As Jin Ya and her three companions were about to provoke the level seven spirit beasts of the secret realm outside the cave, the mountain behind them trembled.

"Lin Zhao has broken through?" Jin Ya looked up at the cave with some curiosity.

“If it were a breakthrough from the early to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm, there shouldn’t be such a small commotion.” Fan Chen and Ming Gui had both witnessed breakthroughs at the Nascent Soul stage, and immediately refuted Jin Ya’s statement.

Jin Ya frowned: "What could it be?"

When they looked up at the mountain again, they found that there was no sound at all, as if the tremor just now was just their imagination.

"Is there really no breakthrough?"

Ming Gui waved his hand dismissively: "It's only been a month. What's the rush? Some people break through in ten or eight years. She hasn't even been here for half a year yet. She's probably still gathering spiritual energy."

As soon as he finished speaking, a girl's clear, cold voice came from not far away: "Ten or eight years? I can't wait that long."

Jin Ya was overjoyed: "Lin Zhao! You've broken through!"

A girl in a blue dress walked through the air, a purple-gold longsword hanging at her waist, and a purple-gold spear hovering behind her.

"We've barely made it to the middle of the month; most of the day should have passed outside by now."

Upon hearing this, Minggui's eyes widened: "You've already broken through?"

He blinked, carefully sensing Lin Zhao's current state, and gasped: "How much spiritual energy do you have now?"

Speaking of this, Lin Zhao frowned and sighed, "It's around 1.8 million streams of spiritual energy."

This increase made Lin Zhao somewhat dissatisfied, as she had thought she could successfully break through the two million mark in the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
