The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

The term "phoenix" does not refer to a single species, but rather to a collective name for two mythical birds.

The phoenix is ​​male, and the phoenix is ​​female.

Phoenix, swan in front, unicorn behind, snake head, fish tail, dragon pattern, tortoise body, swallow chin, chicken beak, paired wings, does not peck at living grass, five colors are all present.

phoenix……

Well, considering how pathetic the little chick looked, Chen Xuan worried that the description didn't match the reality, so on a whim, he stewed it.

Yes, that's right, this little chick is a phoenix.

But it looks worse than a sparrow now, with feathers falling off its head; it's an eyesore.

"Hey, Chen Xuan, is this the bird you found?"

The next morning, while practicing his morning exercises in the park, Chen Xuan casually hung the birdcage on a nearby tree branch.

Uncle Li and others, who were also out walking their birds, had sharp eyes and spotted the birdcage immediately, so they gathered around.

Normally, they would play chess in the park, but Chen Xuan's criticism kept them awake at night.

Now that they've finally found an opportunity to "use their seniority" and give Chen Xuan some pointers, how could they possibly let it go?

When they lifted the curtain and saw the birds in the cage, Uncle Li and the others had quite interesting expressions.

"Chen Xuan, you...you...hahaha...is this really a bird?"

"No, let me laugh for a second, haha... I'm laughing so hard I'm dying to laugh..."

"This isn't a bird at all. You didn't just grab a chick from some henhouse because you couldn't find one, did you?"

……

The old men looked at it from left to right, and it looked like a newly hatched chick, the kind that doesn't have feathers yet.

They all burst into laughter.

Little chick: ⁽⁽ƪ(•̩̩̩̩＿•̩̩̩̩)ʃ⁾⁾ᵒᵐᵍᵎᵎ

If its owner hadn't repeatedly warned it not to hurt anyone, it would have jumped onto those old men's heads right now and pecked their skulls until they were broken!

Grandpa Li chimed in, proudly lifting the cage cloth, "Chen Xuan, that's not how you walk a bird. Look at my lark, its song is melodious and clear, its body is well-proportioned, and it's so spirited."

"And then there's the thrush, with its glossy plumage and melodious song. When raising birds, one should pay attention to their appearance and temperament."

Grandpa Xu pointed to his ornamental bird and joked with a smile, "When choosing a bird, you have to look at its appearance and listen to its chirping. If you bring out this little chick, people will laugh at you."

The elderly men took turns explaining the ins and outs of bird raising to Chen Xuan.

Today I finally got to hold my head high; it turns out even this kid has his moments of ignorance.

"Chen Xuan, come on, come on, let's go to my flower and bird shop. I'll carefully select a few for you."

When things got exciting, Uncle Li grabbed Chen Xuan's hand and offered to take him back to his shop to give away a few for free.

"No need for that."

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "My dog ​​may be a little ugly, but its cry is guaranteed to be melodious and pleasant to hear. Once you hear it, you'll never forget it for the rest of your lives."

"Come on, let's give a shout-out to all the gentlemen."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan opened the birdcage and tapped the chick on the head.

The little chick was on the verge of tears. Wasn't it supposed to be a spirit pet? Why did it have to go out and work?

Can it resist?

Absolutely not!

The phoenix clan is proud and majestic, and will never flatter humans unless they are provided with food and lodging.

then.

It slowly raised its head, its phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the dormant phoenix origin within its body began to surge.

next moment.

A clear, melodious cry, carrying the supreme voice of all birds, suddenly rang out.

Phew——! !

The cry, clear yet gentle, carried the imposing aura of the phoenix clan, like a king's soft murmur, echoing throughout the park.

In an instant.

The thrushes, larks, and various caged birds that were just chirping excitedly suddenly fell silent!

All the birds huddled at the bottom of the cage, wings folded, trembling all over, heads buried in their feathers.

At this moment, they dared not make a sound, all cowering in fear, utterly terrified.

Not only the birds, but also Uncle Li and others were completely shocked, standing frozen in place as if struck by lightning.

"This...this sound...is this really a sound that birds can make?"

"Chen Xuan, what kind of bird is that?"

"When that scream reached my ears, I felt like my soul was about to ascend to heaven, and my scalp was tingling!"

Uncle Li, who loved birds all his life, was the most emotional, and his cries seemed to belong to someone from another world.

Chen Xuan: "A phoenix? You've never raised one before?"

!!!

Uncle Li's eyes widened in disbelief, and he stammered, unable to utter a single complete sentence.

"You...you...you're going too far! How can you fool an old man like this!"

After a long while, he finally spoke, shocked but unable to believe it.

Where in the world is there a phoenix?

Those are all myths and legends.

Even if we concede that there really is a phoenix, would you keep it in a cage?

This kid's mouth is full of lies; he's trying to scam us out of our health products.

"I'm gone."

Chen Xuan glanced at the horizon, then picked up the birdcage and walked back to the small courtyard in the south city.

Let's not scare these old men. If they get a heart attack from the fright, that would be a huge disaster.

But the effects of this sudden phoenix cry will not end so quickly.

Because the phoenix's cry continued to spread outwards, engulfing the entire city.

Cats and dogs in the streets and alleys huddled on the ground, their bodies tense and trembling.

The wild beasts in the mountains outside the city lay prostrate on the ground, trembling with fear that came from the depths of their blood.

After the oppressive aura dissipated, Chen Xuan had just returned to the courtyard when an even more shocking scene began to unfold.

In the distance, flocks of birds migrate in.

Grey finches, white doves, mountain pigeons, finches, and all kinds of forest birds gathered in the sky above the courtyard from all directions.

Birds circled and hovered in an orderly fashion, creating a magnificent sight.

All the birds folded their wings and lowered their heads, their feathers drooping, and bowed and knelt before Chen Xuan, or more precisely, before the young phoenix on his shoulder.

Birds flocked to the sky, circling and worshipping in perfect order.

This is the legendary "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix"!

"So, is the Phoenix True Fire I gave you still fake?"

Chen Xuan glanced at the chick and said casually.

At this moment, the chicks were already in a daze.

It originally just wanted to let out a simple howl, but it didn't expect it to cause such a big reaction.

The phoenix paying homage to all birds is something only the phoenix clan can achieve after reaching adulthood.

And now, he has done it so easily, just by absorbing a little bit of the flame given to him by his master last night?

What are you waiting for?

"Godfather, please accept my bow!"

Pfft!

The little chick knelt down on both knees, its wings folded, and immediately knelt before Chen Xuan, showing utmost respect.

"..."

Chen Xuan's forehead was covered in black lines. "Where did you learn all this?"

The little chick replied matter-of-factly, "The TV, yesterday when I was video chatting with Master Yao, that's how the people on it expressed their gratitude."

It's worth mentioning that the "Lord Yao" it mentioned is Lu Yao.

The two, a human and a bird, actually got along remarkably well.

Such a commotion naturally could not be kept secret from Ling Xiao's people.

Not long after, Lin Xiaoman arrived with her people at breakneck speed.

She was stunned when she saw the sight of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix.

"Sir... what... what's going on?"

Chen Xuan waved his hand, "No need to make a fuss. The Taoist temple will be completed soon. I'll train some spirit pets for my family to increase our resources."

"Oh...where is the spirit pet?"

Lin Xiaoman looked left and right, but still couldn't see the spirit pet that Chen Xuan had mentioned.

Chicken Little: (•̀へ•́ ╮ )

This woman has no sense of propriety at all.

I am such a big phoenix, standing right in front of you, and you say you didn't see me?
