Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

But since these were the conditions set by their own ancestor and had already been promised, it was no use for this elder to object. The Phoenix Clan couldn't afford to lose face like this!
Moreover, being able to befriend a celestial being who can resolve the hidden dangers within Phoenix Ancestor with five spiritual items is actually a good thing in the long run.

Fengzu must have had this in mind as well.

After thinking it through, the Phoenix Clan elder calmed down and sent someone to wait for Li Zhirui at the lava crater.

the other side.

After half an hour, Li Zhirui recovered about 30-40% of his magical power and then stopped practicing and got up, because the environment was really not suitable for him to recover.

“Senior, now that this matter is settled, if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave.” He then bid farewell.

"it is good."

Phoenix Ancestor did not object. She also noticed Li Zhirui's discomfort and reminded him, "After you go out, you will see a junior waiting for you. He will then lead you to the Phoenix Clan's secret vault, where you can freely choose five treasures."

"This……"

Seeing that he was about to refuse, Fengzu interrupted him forcefully, saying, "Don't refuse! This is the reward you deserve."

"Thank you very much, senior. I would be impolite to refuse."

"This tail feather is returned to my senior."

This tail feather is of a very high grade. It contains a trace of the essence of the Phoenix Clan and has been nurtured for countless years in this environment, making it a celestial-level spiritual object.

"What's given away can't be taken back."

"Let's go, I'll take you out."

After saying that, he used molten lava to transform into a fire phoenix, which led the way for Li Zhirui.

The time spent on the way out was shorter than the time spent going in, and before long, he saw the light shining from the sky.

"Greetings, Phoenix Ancestor, Senior." A Phoenix Clan Earth Immortal who had been waiting outside for a long time bowed respectfully upon seeing the two.

"Fellow Daoist, you should follow Yan boy to the secret vault."

Feng Zu said apologetically, "Thanks to your methods, the Earthly Fiend Fire Poison that has accumulated in my body for countless millennia has been completely purified. I also need time to properly recuperate and recover my energy. Please forgive me for not being able to personally see you off when you leave."

"Senior, you should rest well. There's no need for this."

"You must treat Fellow Daoist Li well for me. If I find out that you have been wronged when I come out of seclusion, I will not let you off easily!"

Feng Yan quickly assured her, "Don't worry, Ancestor Feng, we will absolutely not let you suffer any injustice."

They were afraid that if they were even a little slow, they would be punished.

Li Zhirui, standing to the side, could only smile faintly. It was not hard to see that the Phoenix Ancestor valued this junior Earth Immortal highly, otherwise he would not have spoken like that.

"Then I shall return now. If you ever visit the Undying Volcano again in the future, my Phoenix Clan will certainly receive you with the grandest and most solemn ceremony."

"Then thank you for your kindness, senior." Li Zhirui replied with a smile. He knew it was just a polite remark, and he didn't know how many years it would be before he came again.

Perhaps by then, he had already transcended and left the Yuanling Realm, so he did not refuse.

After all, going back and forth is a waste of time.

"The secret vault contains the top treasures accumulated by my Phoenix Clan over countless years. Each one taken out will cause a bloody war."

Before leaving, Phoenix Ancestor reminded him, "Even those veteran celestial immortals would be tempted by it, so fellow Daoist, you must seal it well. Ordinary storage magic treasures cannot stop certain secret techniques from prying into your heart."

"Thank you, senior, for reminding me."

Li Zhirui felt a chill run down his spine. Indeed, he had been negligent in these areas.

But you can't blame him for that, after all, the Li family isn't some old-established celestial family, and they don't know many secrets.

"Looking forward to meeting you again, fellow Daoist."

Having said that, the fire phoenix transformed into a brilliant firework, scattering into sparks of light and quickly disappearing.

"Senior, please follow me."

Li Zhirui nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

The place where the Phoenix Clan lived was filled with parasol trees, each one very tall and with lush foliage. He followed behind Feng Yan, constantly traveling through the winding paths.

The further you go in, the taller and older the sycamore trees become.

They didn't know how far they had walked, until they stopped in front of a truly towering sycamore tree.

The sycamore tree in front of him was the largest and tallest tree Li Zhirui had ever seen!
The trunk at the bottom is at least several miles thick, while the crown at the top is like a huge canopy, covering an area of ​​dozens of miles in radius.

Standing in front of it, one cannot help but feel a sense of insignificance and a strong sense of oppression.

Even Li Zhirui, who was already a celestial being, felt a great deal of pressure.

"Little Yanzi, is the human cultivator next to you the one the Phoenix Queen spoke of, the one who neutralized the Earthly Fiend Fire Poison in the Queen's body?" Suddenly, a large face grew out of the tree trunk and asked in a desolate voice.

Phoenix, not Phoenix, is the real name of the Phoenix Ancestor, and it is normal for her to be respectfully addressed as "Niangniang" (Empress).

In terms of seniority, Fengzu is no lower than Doumu; not to mention her cultivation level, she is probably one of the earliest people in the Yuanling Realm to break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm.

If it weren't for her vow to atone for her sins and suppress the immortal volcano, she would have already transcended and left the Yuanling Realm with her talent.

Li Zhirui never expected that this giant sycamore tree would actually develop sentience!
Moreover, as he awoke, one could sense his powerful aura; he was clearly a celestial being as well.

“Ancient, this is the senior who helped Phoenix Ancestor.”

Feng Yan, acting as the middleman, introduced the two to each other, saying, "Senior, this is Lord Gu Wu of my Phoenix Clan."

"Greetings, senior." Li Zhirui bowed in greeting. Gu Wu's strength was much greater than his, not to mention his age, so from any perspective, there was no problem in addressing him as senior.

"Okay, come in."

But to his surprise, Gu Wu reacted so coldly, as if he didn't want to have much to do with him.

Li Zhirui didn't feel annoyed or angry. He wasn't a spirit stone; how could he possibly please everyone?

Moreover, 'racial discrimination' is very common in the Yuanling Realm. For example, many humans discriminate against all other races, believing that the human body is the most suitable and best body for cultivation.

Moreover, they have ample reason to prove this point. If the human body is not the best, then why are all the transformations of living beings based on the human body?
So he treated it as if he had encountered a 'racist,' since it was just a chance encounter and there was no future meeting, so he just needed to put on a show.

As Gu Wu finished speaking, a crack suddenly appeared in his massive, thick body, revealing the space hidden inside the tree trunk.

Through that crack, one could see precious, top-tier spiritual objects shimmering with dazzling light. No wonder the Phoenix Clan's secret vault lacked any protective arrays or restrictions; it was directly hidden within the body of a Celestial Immortal. Moreover, this place was located deep within the Phoenix Clan's territory, making it completely unnecessary to set up arrays or restrictions.

"Senior, please!"

Li Zhirui nodded and strode towards the space within the tree trunk.

When he looked in from the outside, he could tell that there were a lot of precious treasures inside. But when he came in, he realized that what he saw from the outside was not comprehensive enough. There were far more treasures inside than he had imagined!

Looking around, all he could see were dazzling treasures. He glanced at them briefly and found that there were many spiritual objects among them that he did not recognize at all.

You have to understand, Li Zhirui is already very knowledgeable. If he doesn't recognize a treasure, it's either extinct or extremely precious and no longer publicly known.

Regardless of the situation, it confirms what Fengzu said: taking out any treasure will trigger a bloody war.

"Senior can choose any five items from them without any time limit. Senior can take your time to consider them."

"it is good."

After giving a casual reply, Li Zhirui ignored Feng Yan and walked over to each of the treasures to examine them carefully.

Having finally gotten a chance to see the real thing with his own eyes, he certainly didn't want to miss it, especially since those were spiritual objects he didn't even know about, which required careful examination.

When Feng Yan saw this scene, he didn't show the slightest contempt or disgust in his eyes. On the contrary, he felt it was only natural and even a little proud.

After several hours, Li Zhirui finally examined all 237 spiritual items in the secret vault carefully and memorized their names, effects, and uses.

Then, one should consider and compare in one's mind which spiritual object one needs more, whether it is for oneself or for one's family.

A moment later, he walked up to a magical object and solemnly took it down.

This is a type of mysterious lotus seed called the Myriad Luminous Lotus. It has two main effects: firstly, refining the lotus can nourish the body and improve one's aptitude.

If one refines lotus seeds, one can strengthen one's sea of ​​consciousness and soul.

Moreover, this is different from the Azure Lotus that Li Zhirui obtained by chance before. He has now completely refined the Azure Lotus and possesses the Azure Lotus Dao Body.

If he refines the Myriad Luminous Lotus, he can further enhance his aptitude!

However, he did not intend to do so, because Li Zhirui still wanted to cultivate secret techniques to elevate himself to the Chaos God-Demon Body.

In his deductions, the sea of ​​consciousness and the soul are extremely important, and now that there are spiritual objects that can enhance these two, he certainly cannot miss them.

Secondly, Li Zhirui chose a spiritual root seed named the Myriad Waters Grow Treasure Spiritual Root.

It is a productive type of Lingeng, just like its name suggests, it can produce a certain kind of spiritual water and a gem every day.

The quality of spiritual water and gemstones depends primarily on the growth of the spiritual root. If it is just a sapling, then its quality will not be very high, but if it can grow into a towering tree one day, then it will naturally be a celestial-level spiritual object.

If it weren't for the scarcity of water vapor from the Undying Volcano, and the fact that the Myriad Water Treasure requires a large amount of water to grow, this spiritual seed wouldn't have been preserved here for so long.

The third spiritual item was something Li Zhirui considered for a moment, but it was still a seed of a starlight vine. This was a spiritual item that could survive in the void and starry sky, so he wanted to study it, as it might be helpful for his incarnation, the Chaos God and Demon Technique.

The fourth item is also a spirit seed called the Long Spirit Origin Tree. The Long Spirit Origin Fruit it produces can be used as a high-grade substitute for the Spirit Recovery Pill because the spiritual energy it contains is very pure and gentle, and it can be transformed into magic power almost without refining.

The fifth item was different; he chose a spiritual plant he didn't recognize, but which had a very powerful effect: the Spirit Transformation Fruit!

According to the Phoenix Clan, they can transform a spiritual root with the lowest purity into one with the highest purity.

In other words, this is a treasure that can directly change a person's qualifications!
If someone has dual spiritual roots like Li Zhirui, after consuming it, they can transform into a heavenly spiritual root, and their aptitude will improve significantly all at once.

However, such miraculous items that can defy fate always come at a price.

The Phoenix Clan has specifically noted that after consuming the Spirit Transformation Fruit, their fortune will be extremely low for the next hundred years!

All five spiritual items selected by Li Zhirui were of the Celestial Immortal rank.

Actually, there were several Xuanxian-level treasures in the secret vault, but he didn't choose them. It wasn't because he was embarrassed, but because he couldn't use those spiritual items; they were all material-type spiritual items.

Because his belief is that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!
"Let's go."

Li Zhirui had no greed or desire to possess the remaining spiritual objects. After choosing the Spirit Transformation Fruit, he walked towards the outside world without hesitation.

"Senior, is there anything you need to change? Once you step out of this door, you can't change it anymore," Feng Yan reminded him upon seeing this.

He acted as if he hadn't heard these words at all, and without pausing for a moment, walked straight out of the tree trunk gate of the secret vault.

Feng Yan could only jog out and follow behind him.

Rumbling--

With a loud bang, the tree trunk closed up. If you hadn't just been inside, who would have thought that there was a secret vault containing a lot of treasures inside?

"Senior, please follow me."

Feng Yan hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.

Although they hadn't set up any formations or restrictions in their clan's territory and wouldn't encounter any danger, he was worried that Li Zhirui might have gone in the wrong direction or wandered into some forbidden areas.

It didn't take long.

The two then left the depths of the clan's territory, and the further they went, the smaller and shorter the paulownia trees became, clearly indicating that they had only been planted recently.

"Now that this matter is settled, I will take my leave. Thank you all for your care." As soon as he came out, Li Zhirui couldn't wait to say goodbye.

He now desperately wants to find a safe place to plant all five spirit seeds in his space, so that they can take root and sprout as soon as possible.

“Senior has important matters to attend to, so we will not keep you any longer. If you have time in the future, please come visit us often. Our Phoenix Clan will certainly welcome you with open arms,” Feng Yan said very politely.

But that was all; it was just official politeness, and there wasn't much enthusiasm involved.

However, Li Zhirui didn't care, since there probably wouldn't be a next time anyway.

"Farewell!"

Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a ray of light and vanished into the horizon in an instant.

"The pressure from this senior is actually no less than that from Uncle Jiu..."

Feng Yan gazed in the direction Li Zhirui had left, muttering to himself, "I must say, he truly is the one who could resolve the problems that had accumulated within the Phoenix Ancestor for so many years."

He had been concealing his aura, so Feng Yan hadn't sensed anything. However, when he left, he revealed his full cultivation level, which naturally alerted Feng Yan. (End of Chapter)
