Yi Tianyun's eyes flashed with excitement. He originally only wanted the Soul-accumulating Grass. Who knew that he could find the living little Phoenix? It was indeed unexpected. Of course, it is possible that the Phoenix has left, but there will definitely be one.
The only living Phoenix has ever appeared here. No matter what, he had to look for it carefully.
It would be a pity if there really is a phoenix but we didn't look for it.
This place is only a short distance away from the Tianlong Emperor's capital, so even if there is a strong enemy attacking, he can go back quickly without worrying at all.
After investigating along the way, he suddenly stopped. There was a cave entrance in the creek he was exploring, and spring water was constantly flowing from it. The cave entrance was not big, but not small either, and could just accommodate one person.
Yi Tianyun's figure is neither big nor small, just enough to accommodate him. However, he is not in a hurry to jump down immediately. Instead, he mobilizes his spiritual consciousness first and frantically explores downwards. With his amazing spiritual consciousness, it is enough to
Detected the situation several miles away.
However, if you investigate in detail, you won't be able to explore that far. There is no problem in exploring the entrance of the cave.
The spiritual sense continued to explore the cave entrance, and soon found a way out, at least it was not a dead end. As the exploration continued, it became a bit blurry because the distance was too far, but a rough path could still be found.
Way to go.
Yi Tianyun looked up into the distance. There was a mountain not far away. The water here flows down from that mountain. He first glanced at the mountain, and then at the unfathomable entrance of the cave.
I made up my mind.
"Get down from here."
Yi Tianyun jumped in and sank to the bottom of the river. Then he quickly swam towards the entrance of the cave. Like a fish, he got in at an extremely fast speed and submerged into the entrance of the cave. The reason why he didn't
Heading straight to the mountain, he felt that the companion crystal should have emerged from here. To rush over from such a distance, the water flow needed to be relatively strong.
The current of the river is not turbulent now, but the water emerging from the hole is quite turbulent, enough to wash away the companion crystal, so he prioritizes investigating this place. If he makes a mistake, he can just go back the same way, there is no difficulty
.
As he continued to go deeper, and the further he swam to the bottom, he could feel the rapidity of the water. This momentum was enough to push small rocks up. Soon he continued to go deeper, and after swimming for a long time, he finally began to pass through.
Looking upward, he looked up and saw a faint light coming from above.
"arrive……"
Yi Tianyun's eyes lit up, and he immediately increased his speed and swam upward.
"Wow!"
He rushed up and immediately felt a wave of heat coming from around him. This feeling was comparable to the heat he felt in the cave when he rescued Ye Qingxuan.
When he looked up carefully, what he saw was a huge sycamore tree in front of him. The fiery red leaves were swaying. Every time he swayed, there were waves of heat, as if he wanted to drive him out.
Similar.
Under the fire sycamore tree, there really is a small phoenix. This phoenix looks quite small, and it has obviously just hatched. It is lying quietly and resting under the fire sycamore tree, surrounded by many scattered companions.
Crystal, probably leftover from being eaten.
It seems very likely that when the little phoenix emerged from the egg shell, a small piece of accompanying crystal bounced out, happened to land in the hole and sank, and was washed up into the river. Other than that, there was nothing around.
Any exit is completely in a sealed cave.
In fact, there was an exit, but it was sealed. He could see with sharp eyes that divine patterns were carved on the side, hiding the place. At least it was impossible to detect it from the outside, only from the underground passage.
, to be able to come up.
Fortunately, the person before only knew about the Soul-accumulating Grass, but not the Phoenix Companion Crystal. I can only say that this thing is even rarer. The Soul-accumulating Grass may have appeared outside, but the mythical beast is currently so rare that it has almost disappeared.
, I have no idea where I went.
"There really is a little phoenix!" Yi Tianyun felt excited in his heart.
When he just climbed up, the fire sycamore tree swayed crazily, and more than a dozen sycamore leaves turned into sharp swords and shot towards him. He had just flown halfway when suddenly, with a sound of "bear", it turned into a sharp sword.
Balls of flames enveloped it.
"Bear!"
Yi Tianyun reached out and grabbed the flame, and was quickly sucked into his body.
"Ding, successfully obtained fifty points of proficiency in Eternal Fire..."
"Hey, it can be turned into proficiency after absorption. This is good."
Yi Tianyun's eyes lit up. He didn't expect to be able to increase proficiency. Upgrading Eternal Fire is too difficult. Refining a large number of elixirs can only increase hundreds or thousands of proficiency points, so it has been difficult to upgrade.
Upgrading the Eternal Fire will not only bring him powerful flames, but also the success rate of alchemy and forging. The latter is especially important. Seeing that it can increase proficiency, I immediately feel very comfortable.
I didn't expect that the sycamore tree would attack. Fortunately, its power was limited and not very strong. If his cultivation level had been lower, he would have been burned to ashes.
He raised his eyes and detailed information immediately appeared in front of him.
Fire Phoenix Tree: At the eighth level of spiritual elixir cultivation, the tree is born after the death of the phoenix. It has a trace of soul memory during its lifetime and will attack outsiders. It knows the martial arts of phoenix fire, which can be dropped after being killed.
The fire of destruction, the soul of the phoenix.
It seems that this is not a sycamore tree, but a fire phoenix tree, and it is a tree that is born only after the phoenix dies. Although I have always heard of the immortal phoenix, it is not really immortal. As long as it is severely injured, it will still die.
He's dead. If his injuries weren't serious, he'd recover quickly.
"Bear bear bear..."
A few more leaves flew over, and soon they turned into balls of fire and rushed towards him, but they were absorbed by him and turned into immortal fire. As he got closer, the flames erupted.
It's getting more and more powerful.
It's just that the leaves on the fire phoenix tree are becoming more and more rare. The attack is always limited. If you continue to attack like this, you will definitely consume the last of your spiritual power, and it will wither completely.
This was just the last struggle to protect his child from the attack. He thought that after the phoenix died, it turned into a fire phoenix tree, choosing to protect his child for the last time and guard it until the last moment.
He didn't know if the phoenix tree was conscious or if it could communicate with it. Seeing its situation made him feel a little more sympathetic. If it continued like this, the little phoenix would die here because there was nothing to eat here.
