Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 4: Chicks and Vermillion Fruits

Deng Chanyu stayed in her room for seven days on the pretext of feeling unwell.

The clone is not a sparrow, it is not that delicate.

Eggs can be eaten, and meat can be swallowed whole if Deng Chanyu chews it into pieces.

After a week of rest.

The whole body is bald, and the sparrow-like appearance has completely disappeared.

Now the new bird's fur is snow-white, its pupils are crystal clear, its red beak is sharp and cute, and the feathers on its tail are cone-shaped and colorful, with elegance and mystery. This state is considered to be the official entry into the [baby] stage.

It looked like he had grown a lot bigger and looked much more handsome, but in reality, Deng Chanyu was worried because her clone was very weak.

The laws of nature do not allow the Phoenix Clan to be born. Whenever the Phoenix Clan wants to use their innate abilities to be reborn, they will be suppressed by the rules of nature.

Death, nirvana, suppression, death again, nirvana again, suppression again, this cycle should continue indefinitely.

Meeting Deng Chanyu was an accident, which was considered as the "escaped one" advocated by Tongtian Sect Master. Even so, this nameless Phoenix clan lost everything in countless failed nirvanas: name, past, consciousness, everything, all gone.

The clone's situation was extremely bad, and its life level plummeted all the way to the lowest point. Relying on Deng Chanyu's spiritual energy, it now regained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao in the form of her clone and was reborn from the ashes. However, this rebirth once again consumed the already limited source of life.

The clone needs the blood essence of the Phoenix Clan, top-level natural treasures, the Flame Flag, a flame environment, and many, many things to restore to its original state.

These things are difficult to get even from King Zhou, let alone Deng Chanyu.

She opened the door and strode to the Deng family's treasure house.

As the overlord of the South, the Deng family must have some wealth as they suppressed the Southern Marquis and two hundred princes in the south with a strong pass.

If you don’t need it now, when will you wait?
Deng Chanyu's mother died early, and now there is only a concubine named Huang who manages all the big and small matters in the mansion.

She had a good relationship with her aunt, and when she said she wanted to take a look around the treasure house, her aunt agreed without much thought.

The Deng family treasury was filled with precious armor and swords, but there were very few treasures she could use. In the end, she only chose a palm-sized jade plate, a broken gem and fifteen bamboo-like plants.

Back in the room, she felt a little overwhelmed again.

Before, she would chew the food into pieces and then feed it to her clone.

How can she chew these jade pendants and gems now?

It's weird to chew bamboo, she's not a panda, right?
After repeated experiments between her clone and her original body, she found that by controlling her clone to lie on the jade token like hatching a chick, she could slowly absorb the spiritual essence from it. Once the spiritual energy was sucked away, the jade token would lose its original luster and magic.

This method is also effective for gems, but the spiritual energy inside bamboo is relatively small, and the absorption efficiency outside the body is low. It is best to eat it and then absorb it through the gastrointestinal tract.

Nothing much to say, just eat it.

When she started chewing the bamboo, Deng Chanyu discovered that her body had become stronger again.

The expected oral bleeding did not exist at all. The seemingly hard bamboo could be chewed without much effort.

Now her teeth are in very good condition.

"Dunlun Rumu!" Deng Chanyu shouted as she stood in front of the forest surrounded by wild beasts.

The beasts she had previously defeated—wolves, leopards, black bears—rushed out again. They looked and thought, "Huh? It's you! The terrifying upright ape!"

No problem, let’s fight!

The quality of spiritual materials in the Conferred God Era was far from comparable to that of the Yuan Feng and Zu Long eras. The Deng family was powerful, but they were not omnipotent and could get whatever they wanted.

The clone has been sick all the time. Deng Chanyu thought about it and felt that the spiritual energy she burst out in the battle could speed up the recovery of the clone. The spiritual fire is also fire, and it is a very high-quality fire. In addition, she was still thinking about the treasures buried in the forest. According to a more "primordial" theory, the treasures in the forest were obviously destined to be with her. If she did not take what God gave her, she would suffer the consequences. So she fought back immediately.

She had no soldiers with her and was alone, holding a knife in her left hand and a flying stone in her right hand, killing the beasts at will.

After killing for a whole day, she came again the next day.

"It's his mother's fault!"

Deng Chanyu's original weapons were a pair of swords and flying stones. Now, as her clone grows bigger day by day, the physical fitness of the original body has also been comprehensively enhanced. This soft one-handed sword is a bit weak, and now she can only make do with it. After another day of killing, the ground in the forest was covered with mud made of flesh and blood, and the river in the distance was dyed red.

"Fuck you!"

After killing for two consecutive days, she felt that the number of beasts had decreased significantly on the third day. She only killed until noon that day, and no beast dared to bother her.

She found the treasure in the forest without much effort. It was not one of the ten spiritual roots, nor was it the black lotus of destruction, but two ordinary red fruits. They took a hundred years to bloom and a hundred years to bear fruit. They were orange-red, round and bright red. There was nothing else.

In the era of the three heroes and two Yuns of Shushan Swordsman, Zhuguo may have been a rare item, but nowadays, it is not really that precious.

Deng Chanyu waited for more than ten days, and when the red fruit was ripe, she ate one on the spot. The clone was important, but the original body could not be ignored either.

heat!
The energy in the red fruit rushed into the heart and then flowed to the limbs and bones.

She felt as if a flame was burning beneath her skin, and her bones, muscles, and meridians were infused with powerful energy. The endless vitality began a deep transformation.

Almost 30% of the power of the Vermillion Fruit was used up, and the remaining 70% was stored in the body. If she found a method of cultivation in the future, she could channel it out and use it. If she couldn't find it, this energy could also prolong her life.

She wanted to take the remaining red fruit back for her clone to eat.

She didn't move the roots of the red fruit. She couldn't wait for two hundred years, so she left it here for the next destined person.

"Chirp--" The goshawk circled above her head, then quickly landed, leaving a colorful stone on the ground. Without waiting for the dust to settle, it flew into the sky again vigilantly.

This eagle was the same one that had attacked her earlier and torn a large piece of flesh from her back.

Originally, he wanted to kill him directly, but the clone did not have great magical powers such as "World-Destroying Fire Rain" and "Five-Colored Divine Light". The clone had the abilities of intimidating birds and understanding bird language. Even the original body Deng Chanyu had some abilities that were equivalent to the low-end version of the clone.

She could hear Goshawk's plea for mercy, and after he was willing to provide her with some Five-Colored Stones, she agreed to the deal.

At this time, she looked at the new stone carefully. This stone was the size of a basketball, two times larger than the stones she found at the bottom of the river, and the colorful light was also brighter.

"Where did you find it?" she asked, gesturing.

The goshawk stood on the tree, stretched out one wing and pointed in a direction.

Deng Chanyu looked at the direction pointed by the goshawk, and then looked at the river where she had picked up stones in front of her. The two points were connected, and then this line could be extended all the way to the endless mountains. She couldn't help but think for a while. She originally thought that the five-color stones were just some glowing stones, but now it seems that things are not that simple. Cause and effect are entangled. Are there more secrets hidden in the depths of the mountains?
