I forge immortality with spiritual treasures.

Chapter 84 Luan Bird
"Please wait here for a moment, Master. Miss Bai will be here shortly."

"Miss Bai?"

"Yes, today, only Miss Bai should be in Langfeng Courtyard."

Ying Chan explained his purpose to the red deer, who then led him to the tea room. As soon as he sat down, upon hearing this, he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist."

"It's nothing, no need to be so polite."

Chi Lu nodded politely and then left.

“Taoist priest.” At this moment, Cai Que’er whispered, “In this Immortal Garden Mountain, any spirit beast has the cultivation to refine horizontal bones.”

"Mount Xianyou inherits the sect's beast-taming techniques, so it must have its unique aspects."

Ying Chan nodded and said with a smile, "In that case, Fairy should have even more confidence now."

"Uh-huh."

Cai Que'er nodded repeatedly.

As the man and the bird were chatting idly, a series of light footsteps suddenly came from outside the tea room.

Ying Chan looked up at the sound and saw a beautiful figure appear at the door. She glanced inside and, seeing someone there, smiled and said, "Ah, you must be Junior Brother Ying."

Ying Chan had already given his name to Chi Lu, so it wasn't surprising.

"Indeed." He stood up and bowed, then pondered for a moment before asking, "I haven't yet asked how to address you, Senior Sister?"

Angelica dahurica.

Bai Zhi had delicate and charming features, and a cheerful and generous personality. After confirming Ying Chan's identity, she stepped into the tea room and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, have you come to learn from me about the cultivation of spirit beasts?"

As she spoke, her gaze fell on Cai Que'er, and her eyes lit up slightly: "What a beautiful sparrow."

"Is this the spirit beast that Junior Brother was talking about?"

Cai Que'er felt a little uncomfortable and quietly shrank behind Ying Chan's neck.

Ying Chan cupped his hands and said, "That's right."

He raised his hand to shoo away the colorful sparrow, urging, "Fairy, don't hide anymore. Let Senior Sister Bai take a look at you first."

Cai Que'er slowly moved out, and Ying Chan said, "This Cai Que Fairy is a good friend I've known since my time at the Dao Academy."

"It is naturally intelligent and can understand a hundred words, but it cannot cultivate by absorbing qi... That is why I have come to ask for your guidance."

"Born with exceptional intelligence, able to understand a hundred languages?"

Bai Zhi's eyes shone brightly as she stared intently at Cai Que'er, as if waiting for something.

Cai Que'er felt very awkward and muttered to Ying Chan in a low voice, "Why is she staring at me?"

"Heavens, what Junior Brother said was indeed true."

Bai Zhi was both surprised and delighted: "He has no cultivation, yet he can understand human speech..."

"Fairy," she said to Cai Que'er, mimicking Ying Chan's address, "may I come to the table?"

Cai Que'er and Ying Chan exchanged a glance, then reluctantly flew down to the table. Bai Zhi immediately reached out and touched its colorful feathers.

The colorful sparrow cried out, its feathers bristling, and glared at her angrily, shouting, "What are you doing!"

"Please don't be offended, fairy," Bai Zhi said with a smile. "Let me examine you."

As she spoke, her slender fingers gently scratched under its chin. The colorful sparrow glared at her, but it seemed unable to resist. Its feathers had become soft again, and it showed no intention of escaping.

"The fairy's feathers are so beautiful, just like a rainbow."

"I've lived in the Immortal Garden for so many years and have seen many spirit birds and divine birds, but I've never seen such magnificent plumage..."

Unbeknownst to her, Cai Que'er had been coaxed into a daze by Bai Zhi, letting her touch her body all over.

"He truly has no cultivation whatsoever..."

Bai Zhi gently rubbed Cai Que'er's little head, her eyes thoughtful. After a moment, she asked, "Does the fairy still remember when she began to think and when she learned to speak human language?"

Cai Que'er said blankly, "You were born knowing that."

Bai Zhi pondered for a moment, then asked, "Does the fairy still remember how she was born?"

Cai Que'er said, "Of course, I was born with my brothers and sisters." "Oh?" Bai Zhi's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Are your brothers and sisters also as intelligent as fairies?"

"They're incredibly stupid..."

"Well……"

Bai Zhi asked Cai Que'er many more questions.

Some of the colorful sparrows could answer the questions, while others could not. Bai Zhi listened attentively, seemingly lost in thought.

During the exchange between the person and the sparrow, Ying Chan remained silent until he finally had a chance to ask, "Senior Sister Bai, have you found any clues?"

"Hmm." Bai Zhi nodded: "If I'm not mistaken..."

“The Fairy of the Colorful Sparrow should have some of the bloodline of the Luan bird.”

Ying Chan and Cai Que'er exclaimed in unison, "A phoenix?"

"good."

The colorful sparrow's round eyes lit up as it asked, "What is a phoenix?"

“A mythical bird from legend.” Bai Zhi said with a smile, “The red one is the phoenix, and the blue one is the luan… Have you heard of it? The luan bird and the phoenix can be considered to be of the same kind.”

"Phoenix?"

Cai Que'er was stunned: "I'm a phoenix?"

“Um…” Bai Zhi said, “Fairy, even the Luan bird and the Phoenix are different.”

"Moreover, all birds in the world, upon closer examination, belong to the phoenix family; as the saying goes, 'All birds with feathers are born of the phoenix'..."

The colorful sparrow ignored him and stared blankly at Ying Chan, saying, "Taoist, did you hear that? I am a phoenix!"

"cough."

Ying Chan clenched his fist to hide the smile on his lips, and simply asked, "Now that you know that the fairy is a member of the Luan bird family, is there any way to help her cultivate?"

Bai Zhi said, "Well, it's not that difficult, but it's not that easy either."

"Please enlighten me, Senior Sister." Ying Chan said solemnly, "I will certainly repay you handsomely."

"There's no need to mention that," Bai Zhi waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, no need for thanks."

"The reason I say it's easy is because these divine birds have their own methods of cultivation. In theory, as long as the fairy's bloodline is awakened, she will naturally learn to cultivate, and probably by leaps and bounds in a day."

Upon hearing this, Cai Que'er was overjoyed, but Ying Chan couldn't help but frown slightly.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Then I wonder how to awaken the fairy's bloodline?"

"The reason I say it's difficult is precisely this."

Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "Since the fairy did not awaken naturally, her bloodline is probably not very strong. Perhaps she may not be able to awaken even if she spends her whole life."

"Wha, what?"

Cai Que'er was stunned for a moment, and her joy vanished instantly.

Ying Chan pondered for a moment and said, "Is there really no way to help it?"

“Of course it exists,” Bai Zhi said. “If there is the blood of a phoenix or luan bird, it can naturally help to make its bloodline more concentrated.”

"If we take a step back, if there are any objects related to the Luan or Feng, or that retain the aura of these divine birds, such as the Phoenix Perching on the Wutong Tree or Phoenix Feathers, they should also be able to help it activate its bloodline."

"This……"

Even with Ying Chan's unwavering resolve, he couldn't help but feel helpless: "How can we possibly find it?"

“If that were not the case, why would I say it is difficult?”

Bai Zhi said, "Like the phoenix perched on the parasol tree, the phoenix feathers are not only precious, but most importantly, they are rare. Even our sect may not have them."

"Perhaps, Junior Brother could inquire at the Linlang Academy. The Linlang Academy not only sells magical artifacts but also buys and sells precious materials for refining artifacts."

"The Phoenix Perching on the Wutong Tree and the Phoenix Feathers are both top-grade materials for refining weapons. The Linglang Academy may have some in its collection."
