The Long Journey to Immortality

Satisfied, Han Lu smiled and released the half-truth from her dream, then walked briskly toward her father, who had been waiting nearby.

"Father, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Han Lu asked, "How much time has passed? Ten days, a month, or two months?"

Feng You reached out and smashed the ice mirror not far away, replying, "A full one hundred days."

This number startled Han Lu. She murmured, "It took a hundred days just to get the third bloodline of Heming."

"When I reach the fourth bloodline of Harmony, won't I have to lie on the ground and sleep for three or four hundred days?"

Feng You asked with a smile, "How does Senior Han Chi's blood taste?"

Han Lu took Feng You's joke in stride, "It has a bit of a fishy smell, but the taste and quality are good. Senior Feng Hanchi's blood essence should account for 50% of the success of this harmony."

The higher the cultivation level of the phoenix that provides essence blood during the harmony, the higher the success rate of the harmony event.

"So, is it a success now?" Feng You asked again.

This was the first time he had ever witnessed another phoenix using the Harmony Technique, let alone the fact that the phoenix using the technique was his daughter.

Even though Han Lu had woken up and "showed off" in front of the ice mirror for a while, he was still a little uneasy. He could only feel at ease after hearing Han Lu's answer from her own mouth.

“Success, of course it was a success,” Han Lu said. “I just don’t know how much of the power of this bloodline I can currently unleash, or whether I have awakened Li Feng’s innate divine abilities.”

"Then why don't we, father and daughter, have a match?" Feng You suggested to Han Lu. "The difference in our cultivation levels is huge, so you can unleash your full potential and try to use your Li Feng bloodline to employ various techniques."

Feng You's idea was good, but Han Lu had some concerns.

Just as she was about to speak, reciting the traditional "filial piety" of the Central Plains, she remembered that her father lived in the wilderness and did not adhere to that set of etiquette and rules.

Furthermore, she believed that doing so would serve as a test and practice, so she shamelessly agreed and resolved to be an "unfilial daughter."

“Let’s go outside,” Feng You said, not thinking much about what was wrong with his daughter hitting her father. He really just wanted to help. “There are too many places in Phoenix Perch Forest suitable for fighting. I know a few good spots.”

“Okay,” Han Lu said, “but I think we should go find Senior Feng Hanchi first and tell him this good news.”

Feng You nodded, "That's right. While we're at it, let's go find him again and ask for the cultivation technique of the True Phoenix Manual, 'The Fierce Phoenix Chapter'."

"Therefore, even if you haven't comprehended any of the Phoenix Divine Powers yet, you can still improve your combat strength by spending time practicing techniques and developing divine powers."

In this matter, Fengyou, as the father, thought more comprehensively than Hanlu, the daughter.

The two of them went to Feng Hanchi's residence together again.

When they left, Han Lu not only successfully obtained the "Li Feng Chapter" technique, but Feng Hanchi also followed behind them, wanting to watch the excitement and see what abilities the Four True Phoenixes possessed.

What kind of effect will it have when his own blood flows in Han Lu's body?

[Author's Note] I hit my dad.

Chapter 700 One is willing to hit, the other is willing to be hit

The three true spirits flew through the air in human form, moving together at an extremely slow pace among the many tall paulownia trees in the Phoenix Perch Forest.

Throughout the journey, Han Lu kept asking Feng Hanchi questions and inquiring about Li Feng.

Although Han Lu had read a few books at the Zhengyi Academy before coming to the Wilderness, and learned some knowledge about Li Feng.

However, the knowledge recorded in human books is not as rich or accurate as the information obtained directly from Feng Hanchi, the senior of the Fierce Phoenix.

With the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan being successfully connected, Han Lu is now considered half a member of the Phoenix Clan. In addition, their relationship has become harmonious over time, and the things Han Lu hears about are mostly trivial matters related to cultivation and the Phoenix Clan's supernatural powers, so Feng Hanchi naturally answers all her questions.

There weren't many questions, but by the time they arrived at their destination, Han Lu still hadn't gotten all the answers to her doubts from Feng Hanchi.

Not wanting to keep her father waiting, Han Lu decided to visit him separately another day to get answers, and finally asked a slightly more profound question.

"Senior Feng Hanchi, when you were practicing the Li Feng Chapter technique, did you have any special insights or techniques?"

Han Lu thought that Li Feng was following the path of external martial arts cultivation, which was probably similar to the external martial arts or eye techniques cultivated by human cultivators. He had some tricks and ways to use external forces to promote his cultivation.

Feng Hanchi was generous and directly took out a jade tablet and gave Han Lu two prescriptions.

"One of these two prescriptions is for internal use, and the other is for external application."

He stated it simply, without providing much further explanation.

Han Lu took the jade pendant and read the information inside.

The names of the two prescriptions were chosen haphazardly by Feng Hanchi and were directly called "Internal Pill" and "External Powder".

The materials used to refine these two prescriptions are complex but not too precious. At least, Han Lu has quite a few of the materials in these two prescriptions in her storage bag.

Han Lu then handed the jade pendant to her father. Without Han Lu saying a word, Feng You understood Han Lu's intention.

Sure enough, compared to Han Lu, who had cultivated for less than a hundred years, Feng You had accumulated far more wealth.

Fengyou has several medicinal herbs that Han Lu doesn't have.

After exchanging a few words and opening their storage bags, Han Lu successfully gathered all the materials.

All that's needed is to find someone to help refine it, and you can obtain two doses of the potion, enough for at least twenty years, to satisfy your daily cultivation needs.

“There are several clansmen who are skilled in alchemy. Daughter, why don’t we wait until we return to Sanfeng Forest, and I will help you find someone to refine these two potions?” Feng You not only helped gather the materials, but also thought of a master to help Han Lu refine the potions.

True spirits have long lifespans. Some enjoy playing musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting to pass the time and cultivate their minds, while others prefer alchemy and weapon crafting to enrich their lives. Indeed, the Illusion Phoenix Clan has two alchemy masters that cannot be found even with a lot of money.

This one-step solution saved Han Lu a lot of trouble.

After dealing with all these trivial matters, Han Lu finally had time to properly examine her surroundings and see the arena her father had chosen for the duel between the two of them.

Compared to the fighting arena in the Zhengyi Sect, the only advantage of this venue is its spaciousness.

The phoenix trees within a mile radius were all destroyed because of the battle between the phoenixes.

Feng You explained, "This place was not originally intended for magical duels or the practice of supernatural powers."

"Just ten thousand years ago, a small meteorite fell from the sky and destroyed this entire forest." As Feng You spoke, he gestured with his hand to indicate the size of the meteorite.

"The sycamore grove has been destroyed."

"A space has been freed up."

"That's why it was used for this purpose."

Han Lu subconsciously recalled the Heavenly Punishment move she had once used, marveling at the wonders of nature.

"A meteorite? Such a small piece has such power."

After expressing his feelings, Feng You took the initiative to fly and arrived at the other end of the open space.

“Daughter, do as you please,” Fengyou patted her chest, “Don’t worry about hurting me.”

With her cultivation at the late Nascent Soul stage, even if Han Lu were arrogant, she wouldn't stop at this point, feeling that she might overdo it and hurt her father.

Han Lu nodded slightly and did not answer. She immediately transformed into a four-winged phoenix.

When Feng Hanchi saw the true form of the phoenix after Han Lu and Ming's three bloodlines, he was not surprised.

He had long known that as the number of Heming bloodlines increased and the bird became closer to the true phoenix, the visible changes in the phoenix's bloodline would decrease, eventually making it resemble the true phoenix.

Without hesitation, Han Lu, who had transformed into a phoenix, flapped her wings and shot towards her father in the distance like an arrow.

Since the purpose is to test Li Feng's methods and the progress in external skills and strength after merging with Li Feng's bloodline, it is necessary to test Li Feng's methods.

Naturally, Han Lu, who did not yet understand how to use the Fierce Phoenix Divine Power, could only try brute force first.

Faced with a colossal creature charging rapidly towards him, Feng You didn't even try to dodge, obediently acting as a punching bag for a creature with late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation.

Without any mercy, Han Lu grabbed and tore at Feng You.

The phoenix claws, comparable in size to half a person, seemed capable of tearing Feng You into four pieces with just a graze on his body.

However, it was only a fleeting impression. Although Feng You was not skilled in external martial arts, the difference in their cultivation levels was simply too great.

Without deliberately employing any defensive measures, or even using half of the spells learned from human cultivators, Feng You neither dodged nor evaded, but simply relied on the Five Elements Qi to resist.

When the claws were just inches away from Feng You's body, they began to contend with the almost invisible layer of Five Elements Qi.

A piercing sound, like "fingernails scratching a blackboard," emanated from the point where the Five Elements Qi clashed with Han Lu's phoenix claws.

Just by listening to the sound, you could tell how powerful Han Lu's attack was.

However, this powerful claw attack had no effect on Feng You whatsoever.

He merely frowned slightly at the unpleasant voice, without even blinking.

The Five Elements Qi on Feng You's body was strong enough to completely block the attack.

The phoenix claws could not move forward an inch, but the body still flew forward due to inertia.

The sharp weapon turned into a blunt one, and Han Lu changed her move accordingly, using her flesh and blood to charge straight at Feng You's face.

A phoenix that can't be stewed in a large pot weighs at least five tons. Combined with the acceleration from high-speed flight, it is even more powerful than a blunt weapon or magic weapon.

When facing Feng You, this flexible change of tactics seemed more like a last resort after running out of options.

Feng You put in a little more spiritual energy to activate the Five Elements Qi, and Han Lu felt as if she had crashed into an indestructible wall.

Her muscles and feathers were deformed from the pressure and impact, but she still couldn't move forward even an inch.

In other words, Feng You deliberately made concessions, slightly altering the shape of his protective aura and shifting his body to the side, allowing Han Lu to pass by him in a flying motion.

Otherwise, this head-on collision would likely have caused far more damage to Han Lu than to Feng You.

The difference in cultivation level was too great. Han Lu's moves, though seemingly skillful and brilliant, actually didn't even hit the sandbag.

Chapter 701 Supernatural Powers?

He helped his daughter test out her moves and verify the enhancement of her own abilities after inheriting the Heming Lifeng bloodline.

Of course, Fengyou couldn't be a punching bag with its mouth sewn shut, just taking the beatings without saying a word.

He felt he needed to comment a few words to improve the user experience of Han Lu, the "Nascent Soul Realm Sandbag User".

Seeing that Han Lu had no intention of responding to a combo attack, Feng You cleared his throat and gave a serious evaluation.

“Daughter, that claw strike just now was sharp enough, probably comparable to a strike from a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.”

"The improvisation and subsequent collision, while cleverly executed, were too clumsy."

"You have brute strength but don't know how to use it skillfully. Your moves are all there but no way to execute them properly, lacking a certain charm."

Although Feng You is a phantom phoenix, only proficient in illusion techniques, in her more than 6,000 years of cultivation, she has fought against many demonic beasts, true spirits, or human cultivators who are proficient in external martial arts.
