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

April 20, Grain Rain.

The scion of a powerful family I killed last night, I think his name was something like Wen... never mind, it's not important, it's just that the floor is a bit hard to clean.

With a creak, Chen Xuan opened the door and stepped out, stretching as he did so.

It rained lightly all night, which was perfect for sleeping. I slept really well last night.

"A light rain falls on the streets, with green tiles and blue bricks; the street scene in the southern part of the city has a unique charm."

After washing up, he moved a recliner over and leisurely brewed tea under the eaves.

It's drizzling today, so I won't be going out for my morning exercise; it's a good day to stay home.

"Lu Yao, you don't need to go out to buy groceries today."

Seeing that Lu Yao was about to leave, Chen Xuan waved to her.

Lu Yao looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Then what are we going to eat?"

Since her senior brother woke up, she has gradually figured out his daily routine after spending some time together.

Leisurely, carefree, and comfortable.

Making tea, drinking wine, and exercising in the morning.

And the most important thing is eating.

She didn't know whether immortals needed to eat or not; all she knew was that her senior brother loved to eat and had no resistance to delicious food.

"The ingredients are ready. Some will be used for soup, some for braising, and the rest can be grilled."

Chen Xuan gestured to her and looked at the owl's flesh and blood on the cutting board.

At this point, it was no longer a bloody mess; it was very clean and even had a faint fragrance after being processed. In the shadows, a spiritual light seemed to flicker within the flesh.

This was certainly not something Chen Xuan handled; he couldn't be bothered to do it himself.

The chick put down the knife, which was twice its own size, and said obsequiously, "Master, how did I handle it?"

"good."

Chen Xuan nodded, indicating his approval.

The chicks worked very hard all night processing the owl's flesh and blood.

How could I not put in my best effort?

If you don't work hard, and end up like this owl, being killed and eaten, you'll truly be left with nothing but tears.

No one else would ever kill a phoenix and eat it; they would instead worship it.

But the person in front of me is absolutely capable of doing it.

Just hearing him recount how he had eaten hundreds of phoenix eggs in the past terrified it into tears.

"Okay, okay."

Looking at the bowl of glistening, translucent flesh and blood, Lu Yao felt her mouth watering for some reason, and she had an urge to eat it all.

"Call the seven kids back from school too, let's have a get-together and eat together," Chen Xuan instructed.

Owls are known for their ferocity and can devour their own kind, but as the saying goes, extremes meet, and their flesh and blood are considered rare and precious medicinal herbs.

One bite is equivalent to ten years of arduous cultivation, and it can also temper the body and improve one's foundation.

This is also why that guy named Wen something tried so hard to force a sale.

"Captain Zhao, we're having a get-together today, so we won't be taking the junior students to school. I'd like to ask for leave."

Lu Yao nodded and immediately did as instructed, contacting Zhao Laisheng by phone.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Laisheng repeatedly agreed, "Okay, okay, no problem."

"Won't this interfere with their studies...?"

"How could it be a delay? It won't be a delay. School is on holiday today too."

"Ah, it's not the weekend or a holiday, how come we have a day off...?"

"Oh dear, when this school opens and when it closes depends on when the seven gentlemen go to school..." Zhao Laisheng said with a forced smile.

There's no such thing as the top school in the province opening a branch here. It's clearly Qingzhou moving a prestigious school from another city to this place just to better serve the seven masters.

……

Lu Yao was busy in the kitchen, while the seven little ones were meditating in the courtyard, practicing their meditation skills.

Chen Xuan was feeding the chicks under the eaves.

"Master, just one more bite, please! I'll grant you anything you want, I want more..."

The little chick opened its mouth and stared longingly at Chen Xuan, its eyes filled with anticipation.

Putting everything else aside, he really does give things away by helping his master with chores.

The Phoenix True Fire was fed to him without hesitation, and even the soul power of the owl was casually bestowed upon him.

Now, it receives a wisp of Phoenix True Fire every day.

Snapped!

Chen Xuan's face darkened, and he slapped its head to the side, saying, "Where did you learn those disgusting words?"

"Sister Yao, she's been secretly watching short videos behind my back."

"But as you know, I have excellent eyesight; I can see the screen on my phone clearly from miles away."

"I just don't know why, but the woman in the picture always seems to be holding a whip..."

Chen Xuan: ...

I never expected my junior sister, who seems so aloof, to have such a quirk.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan pointed out, directly blocking most of the chick's senses.

"From now on, eavesdropping and peeping are forbidden at home. If you disobey, you will be killed and eaten."

Little chick: (╥╯﹏╰╥)ง

Is this some kind of undeserved disaster? I'm so innocent!

Tell me why you were born with a deficiency.

Since I had nothing else to do today, I decided to ask a few questions to find out what was going on.

"I don't know. Anyway, when I hatched, it was on Wutong Mountain, and my parents didn't see me."

When it came to his origins, the little chick began to pour out his grievances.

"It's bad enough that I don't have parents to take care of me. I had just hatched and was preparing to eat the eggshell to replenish my blood when a big bird with nine heads landed on me."

"I was just a fledgling, and I had never seen such a terrifying scene before. I grabbed a piece of eggshell and ran away as fast as I could."

"Then we flew and flew until we reached Mount Qingcheng. We finally caught our breath and prepared to eat the eggshell."

"Who knew that the baby Gu eagle would suddenly appear, snatch my eggshell, and eat it."

"If it hadn't eaten my eggshell, how could that Gu Diao have grown so fast..."

So far, it hasn't even eaten a single eggshell.

Those eggshells contain the bloodline of the phoenix, an important source of nourishment for the young.

"It's quite pitiful."

Chen Xuan nodded in agreement.

Speaking of which, his two old phoenix friends also suffered from congenital deficiencies because they lost their parents to incubate them and were forced to hatch.

Their tragic deaths were due to persecution by the Phoenix Clan.

Just as Chen Xuan was lost in thought, his aura inadvertently leaked out.

The chick looked terrified, and its whole body suddenly froze.

This aura... this aura... why does the master possess so much phoenix aura...?

What...what did he do in the past...how many phoenixes did he kill?

So those hundreds of phoenix eggs weren't just boasting; he really ate that many!

"Don't be nervous, I'm just avenging an old friend."

Chen Xuan glanced at the chick.

It seems this guy's bloodline power has improved quite a bit; he can already sense the bloodline aura of his own kind.

Just as the little chick was too frightened to speak, a rapid knocking sound suddenly rang out in the rain.

"Chen Xuan, something terrible has happened!"

"This morning, Aunt Pan was forcibly taken away by a group of people!"

"They stole all the vegetables and fruits we grew, and even turned over the fields dozens of times..."

Outside the door, Grandpa Tian's anxious shouts could be heard.

They were all honest, simple farmers who had never seen a group of people flying around with swords and knives.

The only helper I could think of at the first moment was Chen Xuan.

After listening to Grandpa Tian's story, Chen Xuan put down his teacup, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and a chill descended upon the entire courtyard.

The emanating murderous aura caused the chicks to huddle together and tremble like leaves.

"Oh no... Master seems to be angry..."
