Chapter 776 Heading to the Far North
Lin Zhao led the people of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan to work day and night in the Blue Duck Secret Realm for ten days, and only then was he able to barely teach them about 70-80% of how to refine spirit talismans and exorcism pills. As for the rest, they could learn it by looking at the scrolls he left behind.

This furnace is something Lin Zhao himself isn't a weapon refiner, but Zuo Yuan, because of his contract with Lin Zhao, saw Lin Zhao advance to the Immortal King level, and he also reached the Immortal King level.

However, his cultivation level was also below Lin Zhao's. Two weapon refiners at the level of Immortal King of One Yang, one of whom was Zuo Yuan, could barely refine an Immortal King-level furnace, but Zuo Yuan conservatively estimated that this process would take half a year.

Upon hearing this time, Lin Zhao shook his head.

If the Phoenix Clan wants to develop as quickly as possible, a furnace capable of reclaiming power from the evil thoughts of the other world is indispensable. Therefore, even with the support of the Blue Duck Secret Realm, it would still take about eighteen days in the outside world for the six-month period to recover, which is too long.

“If another Immortal King-level weapon refiner were to assist, the time would be reduced by more than half, and it would be able to be refined in about seven days,” Zuo Yuan thought for a moment and said through gritted teeth.

Lin Zhao frowned: "But where in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan are there any Immortal King-level weapon refiners left?"

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. The weapon refiner who was cooperating with Zuo Yuan thought of a candidate and looked at Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao asked, "Who is it?"

The other person moved their lips and sighed, "Qu Shu."

"Although he has not officially advanced to the rank of Immortal King, his weapon-refining skills are no less than mine. His weapon-refining talent would rank among the top ten in the True Spirit Realm."

Add to that Qu Shu kid, who, while other things are hard to say, is incredibly hardworking. What others finish in a day, he finishes in half a day. And after finishing, he strives for perfection until he reaches the pinnacle of the current stage before he stops.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao thought for a moment and said, "I'll go find him."

As soon as Zuo Yuan saw Lin Zhao leave the Blue Duck Secret Realm, he immediately asked the Heavenly Phoenix, "What is the relationship between this Qu Shu you mentioned and His Majesty?"

Tianhuang's expression was complicated: "I can't explain it either."

She had previously thought that when Lin Zhao came to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, he would talk about her and Qu Shu's relationship. However, she did not expect that when Lin Zhao arrived, he only fought for Qu Shu's power and did not mention anything else.

The clan chief didn't make any explicit statement, so she dared not speculate about the relationship between the two.

If it's hard to explain, then it's very clear.

Zuo Yuan understood.

The phoenix luck that Lin Zhao possessed, which was almost evolving into the phoenix luck of a celestial phoenix, could not possibly not attract the celestial phoenix.
He had heard a lot about Qu Shu from Lin Zhaojinya before, but most of the time he was in the secret realm and had never actually met Qu Shu. Now he was going to meet her.

Zuo Yuan pondered, his expression becoming complicated as he faced Qu Shu, with whom he had a clear relationship, the demon ancestor who already had a substantial relationship with His Majesty, and His Majesty's daughter.

After Lin Zhao sent Qu Shuyi inside, he met Zuo Yuan's complicated expression after he transformed into human form.

Qu Shu: "..."

……

After settling everything in, Lin Zhao calculated the time. There were still three days before the Northern Region Grand Competition officially began. After finding out where the isolated island in the far north that Qu Shu mentioned was, and confirming that her current strength would allow her to travel from there to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and back in at most two days, she felt at ease and went to take the True Spirit Realm teleportation array to the Northern Region.

Before setting off, You Shen followed along for some reason. When Lin Zhao asked him, You Shen said he was curious about what Qu Shu's father looked like.

Lin Zhao asked in shock, "How did you know what I was going to do?"

You Shen, this honest boy, can never keep a secret: "My uncle found out for me."

Lin Zhao was troubled, but before she knew what You Shen's feelings were for her, she couldn't do anything about it. After she found out, she saw that he always seemed embarrassed, so she found it even harder to refuse You Shen.

If You Shen insists on following, then so be it. After all, how could a Celestial King like myself not shake off a Grand Luo Golden Immortal?

Lin Zhao thought to herself with such ease.

But as it turned out, she couldn't. Because there was an old man on You Shen's side.

The old man looked at her with a very strange expression.

How to describe it?
It evokes a sense of déjà vu, like an elder seeing their little princess being lured away by a poor boy, and also a feeling of cherishing a once-in-a-lifetime genius.

These two feelings combined almost made Lin Zhao run away.

"On this remote island in the far north, there exists a divine object called Heavenly Cold Heart. This thing will be useful to Young Master You Shen," the old man said slowly, looking at Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao said, "Senior, do you want me to go and get it?"

The old man shook his head: "You have your own things to do. My Ancient Dragon Clan is not that domineering."

His last sentence was delivered in a strange and stiff tone, clearly indicating that he rarely spoke like that.

Lin Zhao thought to himself, "If it's really hard to say, then I won't say it. Saying it like this sounds like a bandit holding a knife and twisting his face to say, 'Your money has its uses. I don't just steal money from everyone.'"

While comparing the Ancient Dragon Clan to bandits might be a bit unfair to this powerful clan, the two situations are indeed strikingly similar.

After silently grumbling to himself, Lin Zhao nodded, knowing he still needed the Ancient Dragon Clan's help. "This junior will take good care of Young Master You Shen."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he felt he would lose all face if he had to deal with this girl again.

"Then it'll be hard work."

After saying that, the old man vanished without a trace.

Lin Zhao: "..."

"My Yuan Kong Body is almost completely resolved, but it's not fully healed yet. Once it's fully healed, the power and foundation I've accumulated over the years will probably be enough for me to advance to the Immortal King level."

Lin Zhao didn't say anything upon hearing this.

If it weren't for this physique, given You Shen's talent, he should have already ascended to the Immortal King realm long ago.

“I’m not quite sure where Qu Shu’s father is on this remote island in the far north.” Lin Zhao pondered for a moment. “I don’t know if there’s anyone on this island. We can ask for directions.”

You Shen said, "I know a little about it."

Before Lin Zhao could finish her surprise, she heard You Shen say, "The isolated island in the far north is a small piece of land that my mother gave me."

Lin Zhao: "..." It seems there's never much to say to someone born with power like this.

"There are no people from the True Spirit Realm up there, but there are many divine beasts or spirit beasts, as well as a prison."

Lin Zhao was taken aback: "Is it where Qu Shu's father is being held?"

You Shen nodded: "Most of the animals imprisoned inside are mythical beasts that have committed offenses."

"This...is your territory?"

What mother would give her son an island meant to be a prison?!

You Shen seemed to guess what she was thinking: "This was given to me when she broke the Daoist contract with my father. She said that as long as my father does something to wrong me in the future, I can send him here."

Lin Zhao: "..." Every time she heard about You Shen's parents' deeds, she was always shocked for a long time.
