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

Chapter 812 Auction
Lin Zhao nodded and, following Qu Shu's instructions, asked the auction house staff for the Tian Tong Mirror. After receiving it, Lin Zhao looked at the Tian Tong Mirror in his hand and said to Qu Shu, "Why didn't that staff member look at me properly? Did he think I would hit him?"

Qu Shu glanced helplessly at Lin Zhao, while the Palace Master of Bihai Palace beside him laughed and said, "It's common for young people to fall in love for the first time. Young Master Lin already has a Daoist partner, how come you can't see that?"

Lin Zhao glanced at the list of medicinal herbs on the Heavenly Mirror and said, "He doesn't even look up, how am I supposed to know he's fallen for me? Besides, more importantly, he wouldn't have made a mistake with the medicinal herbs I want, would he?"

The Palace Master of the Azure Sea Palace: "..." I don't know how her Daoist partner can stand her like this.

However, since he still needed to maintain a good relationship with Lin Zhao, the Palace Master of the Azure Sea Palace composed himself and said with a smile, "The staff of the Northern Auction House are all extremely responsible. Even if some external matters distract them, they will not be able to do their jobs well."

Lin Zhao was relieved. She ordered some things and found that the staff had replied to her, preparing everything she requested. They even told her where they might have items that weren't in the warehouse. She was immediately in a great mood.

She couldn't help but praise, "No wonder it's the largest auction house in the Northern Region."

The Palace Master of the Azure Sea Palace said, "Of course, this property belongs to the Red Brocade Rat Clan. If the young master knows people from the Red Brocade Rat Clan, he can also try to establish a relationship with them."

Lin Zhao subconsciously thought of her contracted spirit beast, Hongyu, but that was all she thought of; she really didn't have the shamelessness to try and take advantage of it.

"It's just that I don't have that kind of luck." Lin Zhao laughed and changed the subject, then chatted casually with the Palace Master of the Azure Sea Palace. Halfway through the conversation, Lin Zhao asked, "Where is the Palace Master's beloved disciple, Young Master Ji Qing?"

The Palace Master of the Azure Sea Palace waved his hand: "This girl said she was going out to train after the individual competition. Her cultivation has been at this stage for a while now, and I reckon she's about to make a breakthrough."

Lin Zhao was surprised.

Ji Qing is already at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. If he breaks through again, wouldn't he become an Immortal King?
Seemingly sensing the reason for Lin Zhao's surprise, the Palace Master of the Azure Sea Palace chuckled and explained, "It's not that you can break through to the Immortal King level in one go. If the Immortal King level were so easy to reach, this level wouldn't be the watershed for judging the strength of immortals in the Upper Realm. Ji Qing has only taken a small step. She'll probably reach a stage that's slightly weaker than a Quasi-Immortal King but a little stronger than an ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortal."

Lin Zhao was stunned. She hadn't expected there to be so many intricacies between the Great Luo Golden Immortal and the Immortal King. She hadn't realized this before, and it was only when she couldn't suppress the feeling of advancement in the lower realm that she was forced to advance to the Immortal King.

Looking back now, she was actually quite lucky.

"Throughout history, those who have been able to advance to the Immortal King realm have all possessed a powerful foundation, especially... for the younger generation who wish to advance to the Immortal King realm, bloodline, foundation, and talent are all indispensable," the Lord of the Azure Sea Palace said meaningfully.

Lin Zhao noticed the gaze directed at her, but remained silent.

Compared to the young geniuses of the Upper Realm who have advanced to the Immortal King level, she truly lacks the strength of her bloodline, which she makes up for entirely with her Ancestral Dragon Form and Phoenix Luck.

However, after obtaining the essence blood of the Heavenly Phoenix, Lin Zhao vaguely felt that his bloodline had also changed, and he could no longer be called a complete person.

This shows that the path to immortality for ordinary cultivators actually ends when they reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

It's no wonder that many cultivators, despite breaking through to True Immortal, are unwilling to ascend to the Upper Realm. The Upper Realm's terrifying combat power and formidable geniuses are far superior to those of the Lower Realm.

As the two chatted, the auction slowly began.

Since she had already obtained most of the medicinal herbs she wanted, Lin Zhao wasn't very interested in the auction. She only paid a little attention because Qu Shu was watching intently from the side.

Anything that catches Qu Shu's eye must be something extraordinary. The Lord of the Azure Sea Palace clearly also had something he wanted in this auction; he sat up straight and looked at the display stands after the auction began.

The first three items presented were indeed rare. The first was a celestial crystal, a mutated crystal used by wind-attribute cultivators, and those of this purity were truly exceptional. However, its applicable range was also quite narrow, and the price couldn't be too low, so it was used as a warm-up item.

The second item was something Lin Zhao was familiar with: an invisibility cloak. This invisibility cloak had the same effect as the one Zuo Yuan had given Lin Zhao; cultivators below the Immortal Venerable level could not detect the aura of a cultivator wearing it.

However, ever since he was almost killed by the sect leader of Lingxiao Sect, Lin Zhao knew that the effect of this thing was just for show. When you were in front of a powerhouse at the level of Immortal Emperor, even if you, an Immortal King, wore hundreds of invisibility cloaks, they could only not see your face immediately. They would still know your aura and location perfectly.

Therefore, Lin Zhao's attitude towards this thing was quite indifferent.

The third item was a magical artifact. Lin Zhao looked at the artifact and subconsciously glanced at Qu Shu.

It wasn't that she was paranoid, but rather that the style was very similar to Qu Shu's works.

"It was indeed made by me," Qu Shu replied affirmatively, despite her skeptical gaze.

"Are you short of money?" Lin Zhao asked, glancing at the longsword, which was entirely silver.

Qu Shu smiled and said, "Although we don't lack money, people never complain about having too much."

This is true.

Lin Zhao recalled the dire economic situation of the Tianhuang Clan before his arrival, and then looked at Qu Shu's nonchalant demeanor when she mentioned the economy. He then reclassified Qu Shu's danger level.

It seems that the plight of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan has not affected Qu Shu.

That's true. Once a profession like weapon refiner or spirit talisman master truly masters it, they will never lack money.

The spirit talisman masters, weapon refiners, and alchemists of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan were simply unwilling to set aside the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's reputation to sell their works, but this reputation was not that important to Qu Shu.

Because of its special enhancement, Qu Shu's sword fetched a price that surpassed the combined price of the previous two items.

After reading it, Lin Zhao gave Qu Shu a thumbs up.

Qu Shu took a sip of tea, his expression calm, as if he had expected this.

The Palace Master of the Azure Sea Palace also heard the news and looked at Qu Shu with some surprise.

Although Qu Shu has become quite famous over the years.

However, just as the Heavenly Phoenix Clan doesn't hold the Heavenly Phoenix in high regard, the outside world also doesn't rate the Heavenly Phoenix highly.

Even if Qu Shu displayed talent and abilities that would shock everyone, they would only regret that she was not a Heavenly Phoenix.
