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

Chapter 439 Past Life 3
Although Lin Zhao had no desire for the Heavenly Phoenix Guide, at this point, even someone as naive as Lin Zhao could see through Qu Shu's intentions.

"Is this Heavenly Phoenix Guide suitable for me?"

Qu Shu looked at her in surprise: "Don't you know you possess the ancient phoenix's destiny?"

Lin Zhao looked blank. "I've forgotten some things from before..."

Qu Shu briefly explained what Phoenix Fortune is and the ancient Phoenix Fortune she possesses.

After Qu Shu finished speaking, he added, "But you only have one bit of Phoenix Luck left. And according to my calculations, you may be in mortal danger in the near future. The Heavenly Phoenix Guide may activate the last bit of Phoenix Luck in your body."

Lin Zhao clicked his tongue: "I see."

Lin Zhao accepted the Heavenly Phoenix Guide: "Could you give me a little time to take a look at this cultivation technique?"

Qu Shu nodded: "But there's something else I need to remind you. I didn't save you; you were rescued by the young master of Yaoyue Palace and entrusted to my care. Anyway, I'm just living here by myself."

Lin Zhao realized something: "Is this the territory of the Inviting Moon Palace?"

Although I don't know when I got in touch with the young master of Yaoyue Palace, I'll thank him afterwards.

Even if Qu Shu wasn't the one who saved him, the care and medicine he received over the past few days were genuine.

"So, now that you've brought the Heavenly Phoenix to me, is there anything I need to do?" Lin Zhao asked Qu Shu.

Qu Shu paused for a moment, then said, "No rush."

This is something that can never be rushed.

"You should raise your cultivation to the late Foundation Establishment stage first," Qu Shu said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao nodded. She had been stuck at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage for many years, and it was time for her to break through.

Because of his choice to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, Lin Zhao lived here for more than half a year. During this half year, the aristocratic family conference had already been held, and there were countless messages from Cloud Peak and Shen Yuhan on the Heavenly Mirror.

Lin Zhao got tired of reading and simply deleted Shen Yuhan. He ignored the others at Cloud Peak and only reported his situation to the Lin family.

Qu Shu watched her do these things, and Lin Zhao did not hide anything from him.

Normally, Qu Shu would not pry into Lin Zhao's private affairs; spirit cats and other spirit beasts are very good at knowing how to keep their distance.

But the cat would occasionally ask with unusual curiosity, "Aren't you worried that your fiancé will be angry?"

Lin Zhao exclaimed "Ah!" and after a moment of reaction, she realized that Qu Shu was referring to Shen Yuhan: "What kind of fiancé is he... It's over a long time ago, let him go crazy. As for other matters... I'll take care of them once my cultivation is stable."

She couldn't stay at the summit forever, otherwise she would always be under the control of that unknown force.

Although she didn't know what was interfering with her, Lin Zhao's experience over the years told her that as long as she stayed away from Chen Luoluo, Yundingfeng, and Shen Yuhan, she wouldn't lose control.

Once this matter is settled, it's time to make a decision.

However, Lin Zhao's only worry was that he would lose control once he reached the summit.

Looking at the Heavenly Phoenix Guide in her hand, she suddenly thought of something and asked Qu Shu, "Can the Phoenix Luck isolate some of the control?"

Qu Shu frowned and asked, "What control?"

Lin Zhao thought for a while and then described all the strange situations she had encountered over the years.

After listening, Qu Shu looked at her for a long time.

After a long pause, Qu Shu commented, "You're really unlucky."

Lin Zhao gave a wry smile at those words: "This isn't what I wanted either, is it? Do you know why?"

Qu Shu did not tell Lin Zhao the reason directly, but only told her the solution: "It may be difficult to resist a bit of Phoenix Luck, but if you cultivate the Heavenly Phoenix Guide, there is a chance."

Lin Zhao checked his cultivation level: "I'll wait until I reach the late Foundation Establishment stage." "If I'm stuck at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage for the rest of my life, there's no point in wasting the Heavenly Phoenix Guiding Technique."

She made a pointed remark, and Qu Shu's silver eyes fell on her. After a moment, he looked away without saying a word.

Lin Zhao stood up, said nothing, and went out to practice his sword.

Over the course of their time together, Lin Zhao discovered that Qu Shu was also recovering from his injuries. The medicine he had been brewing, which Lin Zhao had previously thought was for her, was actually for her as well.

Lin Zhao guessed that the young man, who looked to be about the same level as himself, should be at the Enlightenment stage. As for what level the Enlightenment stage was, Lin Zhao dared not think about it.

"We need to work harder."

My current cultivation level is nothing compared to others my age.

So Lin Zhao practiced swordsmanship and drew talismans during the day, and cultivated himself at night.

He practiced and refined his swordsmanship and talismans day and night.

Fortunately, Qu Shu was an alchemist, and he would occasionally give her some pills to replenish her soul power and spiritual energy. Otherwise, with Lin Zhao's reckless behavior, her Foundation Establishment stage body really wouldn't be able to withstand it.

It was during this time that Lin Zhao discovered that in addition to brewing exceptionally bitter medicine, Qu Shu's cooking was also a terrifyingly potent elixir.

After Qu Shu cooked two meals, Lin Zhao quickly told him to stop. He said that practicing some fasting pills would be enough, and there was no need to torture both of their stomachs.

After all, neither of them had reached the Golden Core stage, and constantly consuming these things might lead to the accumulation of too many toxins.

On the day Lin Zhao reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Lin Zhao personally cooked six dishes and a soup.

Qu Shu looked at the delicious-looking food on the simple table and remained silent for a long time before asking, "Why do you know how to cook?"

According to the information he received, this person, who came from a prestigious family and had suffered hardships, was still the chief disciple of Cloud Peak and the young master of the Lin family. How could he have done this?
Lin Zhao touched his nose: "I went to the mortal realm to carry out some missions. I was about thirteen or fourteen years old at that time, in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. My cultivation level was just so-so. I didn't want to waste spiritual energy on things I could do myself. My family and sect didn't provide any financial support, so I worked as an assistant in a tavern and learned those skills. I can also do embroidery and write calligraphy to make money."

Qu Shu: "...Then you are truly multi-talented."

Lin Zhao feigned modesty, saying, "It's just so-so. After all, I've studied talisman techniques for so long, and I can only barely draw a level one spirit talisman."

Qu Shu picked out some food for her to eat with chopsticks: "Spirit talisman masters don't have a dedicated mentor. Ordinary people would spend hundreds of years trying to get started, so you've already done quite well."

Lin Zhao was surprised that Qu Shu, who was known for her sharp tongue, could praise her. Her eyes crinkled into a smile as she asked, "Are you praising me?"

"If you ask again, I'll take it back."

Lin Zhao readily agreed and ate the food Qu Shu had put on her plate. "Okay, I won't ask."

After finishing their meal, Qu Shu cleared away the dishes. As Lin Zhao was examining the talisman she had drawn, she suddenly said, "When I return from Cloud Peak, I'd like to take you to meet my parents."

Qu Shu looked at the girl who was diligently studying the talisman paper, "What should I bring?"

"No need." Lin Zhao rubbed her slightly sore eyes. "If I could come back."

Qu Shu put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Then let's get married first."

Lin Zhao remained silent.

"You want to take me to meet your parents without a marriage contract? What will your parents think of me?"

Lin Zhao exclaimed, "But I may not be able to come back, but I must go."

“That’s why I want to form a pact.” A dark glint flashed in Qu Shu’s silver eyes: “Lin Zhao, I don’t have your guts.”

Lin Zhao was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Qu Shu didn't say anything more: "Come to my room tonight."
