The Long Journey to Immortality

To make such an evaluation based on the cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage, although somewhat superficial, is indeed an authoritative assessment.

Upon hearing this, Feng Hanchi added his own perspective, decisively offering guidance to Han Lu based on his extensive combat experience gained as Li Feng.

Although Feng Hanchi is nearing the end of his life and has not sparred with anyone for a long time, as the Li Feng who provided Han Lu with her life essence, he is definitely the senior most qualified to evaluate and guide Han Lu.

He is even more qualified than Fengyou's father.

Han Lu, still in the form of a phoenix, flew beside them, listening attentively to the earnest teachings of her two elders. Occasionally, she would use her phoenix feathers to ask a few questions or make a few gestures.

Perhaps because Han Lu's foundation in external martial arts was so poor, Feng Hanchi couldn't bear to watch any longer. He even revealed his true form and demonstrated a few moves to Han Lu, instructing her on how to use the phoenix's body as a magic weapon in battle.

Through her words and actions, Han Lu has achieved remarkable results and feels that she has gained a great deal.

For her, who was originally only proficient in illusion and magic, the short half-minute lesson gave her a sense of sudden enlightenment.

At Han Lu's request, Feng You stood calmly in the distance, once again assuming the posture of a sandbag, while Han Lu continued to use the grabbing and ramming techniques she had used before, wanting to see if she had improved after receiving guidance from her father and senior Feng Hanchi.

As it turns out, a good teacher produces outstanding students.

Even a brief instruction of less than 15 minutes was incredibly beneficial to Han Lu.

In the blink of an eye, two moves were executed in succession. This time, the same move was used by Han Lu for the second time, and the effect was far better than the first time.

Feng You, who was the "punching bag," felt it most acutely.

In the second round of the battle, Han Lu's claw attack nearly broke through the protective aura on his body.

The second move, a brute force charge, caused him to involuntarily take half a step back.

There has been progress, but that's all.

Even the slightest progress was enough to make Han Lu, who had just completed the harmony, feel delighted.

Knowing that spending time and energy practicing and cultivating could improve her external skills was enough for her.

After all, as a cultivator with true spiritual bloodline, Han Lu has no shortage of time and a heart yearning for the Dao.

While the iron was hot, Feng Hanchi taught Han Lu a few more moves, trying to help her understand how to use the various "weapons" on the phoenix in a short period of time.

Teaching for a while, practicing for a while, time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. As the sandbag, Feng You could clearly feel Han Lu's progress in external martial arts during this half hour.

The results were remarkable, and the already high spirits of the three were further boosted.

"Daughter, why don't you try using Li Feng's supernatural powers again?" Feng Youguang wasn't satisfied with just being punched and kicked, and wanted to try something new.

Having regained her human form, Han Lu nodded and said, "Then I'll give it a try."

Feng Hanchi crossed his arms, eagerly anticipating Han Lu's display of supernatural abilities, different from those of the "pure-blooded" Li Feng.

This time, however, the three were disappointed.

Han Lu seemed to have been suffering from constipation for thirty years. She had been circulating the "True Phoenix Manual" for a long time in a semi-spiritual, dark-skinned state, but apart from her blood boiling, her muscles swelling slightly, and her face turning red, nothing else happened.

Because the Heming bloodline was too mixed, Han Lu was unable to unleash any of Li Feng's supernatural abilities immediately after successfully achieving Heming.

"Sigh..." Han Lu sighed, slightly regretful, but she was not discouraged. She simply said, "It seems that I need to master the Li Feng chapter before I can unleash the many supernatural powers of my bloodline."

This is an optimistic view.

If we take a pessimistic view, it's very likely that Han Lu and Ming's secret technique were not executed perfectly, and their bloodline fusion was not flawless. The Li Feng bloodline only enhanced Han Lu's physical strength but did not bestow upon this lucky girl many of Li Feng's supernatural powers.

Feng Hanchi was unable to draw a conclusion regarding the specifics.

"How about this, you cultivate by my side for a month and then we'll see the results."

"With your talent, a month should be enough to complete the 'Fierce Phoenix Chapter'. This will allow us to verify whether you can unleash the 'Fierce Phoenix Divine Power' after the Harmony."

Upon hearing that the senior Feng Hanchi would be tutoring her in her cultivation for another month, Han Lu was overjoyed and temporarily put aside her worries about not being able to use the Fierce Phoenix Divine Power.

Although they are only a thousand years apart, some events in the past have made Fengyou particularly wary of Fenghanchi.

Back when Feng You was still a fledgling phoenix, Feng Hanchi took good care of the young Feng You.

On behalf of Han Lu, Feng You repeatedly expressed her gratitude, and was happy that her daughter could learn a lot from Feng Han Chi.

In the remaining time, under Feng Hanchi's guidance, Han Lu spent a quarter of an hour reading through the text to lay a solid foundation.

The True Phoenix Manual is based on a general outline. Although the individual chapters of the Nine Phoenixes are very different from each other, because the foundation is the same, the differences in cultivation are not actually that great.

With a thorough understanding and guidance from Feng Hanchi, Han Lu read through the text once and felt she had grasped the key points.

Seeing Han Lu's confidence, Feng Hanchi casually asked a few questions.

During the question-and-answer session, Feng Hanchi didn't say much, only leaving behind the comment, "She has good comprehension, but there's still room for improvement." He then arranged another time with Han Lu, saying that they would have a more in-depth tutoring session in private.

This arrangement is reasonable, and Han Lu naturally has no objections.

Everything went smoothly, and Han Lu, still feeling unsatisfied, dragged her father into another fight, finally feeling that she had released most of the energy that was about to overflow from her body.

In high spirits, Han Lu didn't waste a single moment after returning to her residence with her father. She immediately picked up the jade tablet and began reading the cultivation technique, trying to explore her potential for improvement in advance so as to give Feng Hanchi a surprise in three days.

However, as it turns out, spiritual practice cannot be rushed, and practicing alone is a completely different thing from having a teacher to guide you.

In the three days, Han Lu did not gain anything except for practicing "Li Feng Pian" nearly a hundred times and improving her external martial arts skills.

To truly master this skill in a short period of time and reach the level where one can unleash supernatural powers, one still needs the guidance and instruction of the senior Feng Hanchi.

On the third day, when Han Lu wanted to visit Feng Hanchi as agreed, another problem arose, disrupting her original travel plans.

Chapter 702 Phoenix Bird Assembly

It took Han Lu and Ming Lifeng a full hundred days to communicate. This was enough time for the phoenixes scattered throughout the wilderness to relay information, report the plans discussed in the small meeting, and come up with a final solution.

With everyone making up their minds and having someone backing them up, the few people in Fengqi Forest gained confidence.

Once the matter between Han Lu and Ming was resolved, they couldn't wait to hold a large meeting in Phoenix Perch Forest to strike first.

When important matters require discussion, it is a custom that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years since the phoenix was divided into nine and then reunited.

The fact that the clan has gained an additional four-winged true phoenix is ​​indeed of a high caliber and deserves to be discussed in such a grand setting.

The Phoenix Bird Assembly was ostensibly to celebrate and congratulate Han Lu, a young member of the Illusion Phoenix Clan, on successfully obtaining the third bloodline and becoming a Four-Winged True Phoenix.

But the real purpose is to establish the so-called "rule" from a legal perspective, thereby extinguishing Feng You's ambitions, whether they exist or not.

As a key figure in the conference's discussions, Han Lu, a relatively unknown "newcomer," naturally had to attend with her father to receive congratulations from her clan or simply to observe out of curiosity.

Although this matter wasn't exactly urgent, the timing just happened to coincide with Feng Hanchi's "individual tutoring".

Fortunately, Feng Hanchi was also invited to participate in the Phoenix Bird Conference as one of the representatives of the Li Feng clan, which saved Han Lu and Feng You the trouble of explaining a few words.

The Phoenix Bird Festival takes place in a hall in the Phoenix Perch Forest that has a history of over 100,000 years.

The hall was very simple, perhaps due to a lack of craftsmen or to preserve its historical atmosphere.

On the day of the meeting, a torrential downpour was falling in Phoenix Perch Forest. Fortunately, there was a protective array, otherwise the rain would have definitely spilled over the dilapidated roof of the hall, turning the meeting of the dignified barbaric true spirit clan into something resembling a beggars' gang gathering.

Although the meeting time was clearly stated, the long-lived phoenixes were never very punctual.

Even though Han Lu and Feng You arrived right on time, it still took them a full half hour for all the representatives of the Phoenix Clan to take their seats.

Two to three representatives from each clan, totaling twenty-four phoenixes, attended the conference.

In addition to Han Lu and Feng You, two other phoenixes from Phoenix Perch Forest who were in charge of "diplomatic" affairs also received invitations to attend the meeting.

If Feng You were not present, the Huanfeng Clan would have primarily been listeners at this meeting, only giving a clear response after the message was relayed again.

But if Feng You, the person in charge, is present, things become much simpler.

According to the rules, Yu Feng, who initiated the meeting, served as the meeting's chairperson.

The prison phoenix was named Feng Xiao. When Feng You saw him appear, he took the initiative to introduce him to Han Lu via telepathy.

He is only 1,300 years old, just one step away from the late Nascent Soul stage.

Although his talent cannot compare to that of a genius phoenix like Feng Rubing, who advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage at the age of only a thousand, he is still a person with outstanding talent.

As for the family, Feng Xiao is also one of the candidates for the future patriarch of the Yu Feng clan.

Although he was only second in line, there was an equally outstanding older sister above him.

However, combining the two, Feng Xiao is indeed a representative of the younger generation among the phoenixes whose age begins with "one".

It's no wonder that they were assigned to Phoenix Perch Forest to take on the important task of communicating with the other eight phoenixes.

Although he harbored ulterior motives, Feng Xiao was well aware of the necessity of political correctness.

Smiling, he stood in the center of the hall, greeted Han Lu warmly, exchanged a few words of greeting, and congratulated Han Lu on behalf of the Yu Feng clan.

There was no enthusiastic applause; these words only drew everyone's attention to Han Lu.

Being watched by so many true spirits comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm made Han Lu feel a little nervous.

Fortunately, she had experienced many similar "recognition" occasions, and was eventually able to say a few nice words to receive the medals that Feng Xiao threw at her.

Humility is not a remarkable achievement.

I am grateful to Feng Hanchi for providing his essence and blood, as well as for his theoretical help with the Harmony Secret Technique.

Finally, I would like to thank Feng Xiao and other senior members of the same clan for their concern, and express my determination to continue my efforts and try to restore the glory of the True Phoenix.

Although Han Lu's last line sounded arrogant, the phoenixes sitting there were still infected by this emotion.

A few scattered claps broke out, but they prevented Han Lu's impassioned speech from seeming like a one-woman show.

But to Feng Xiao, those words took on a different meaning.

Feng Xiao felt that Han Lu really did have some thoughts of "dominating" in her mind, and this conference was very timely.

The group chatted and laughed. Several seniors who had briefly interacted with Han Lu in the Phoenix Perch Forest invited her to visit their Phoenix Clan territory and said that if she wanted to reconnect with the new bloodline, she could ask them for help.

Yan Fengfeng Huamao, who proposed the meeting and was acquainted with Fengyou, was also among them.

Although the atmosphere of the conference initially defied expectations, it ultimately developed in the direction that Feng Xiao had hoped for.

Therefore, without hesitation, he put forward a so-called "Phoenix Clan Revival Plan", which focused on cultivating "hybrid" phoenixes.

The timing was perfect, naturally sparking discussion among the crowd.

The number of phoenixes that successfully harmonize is small. This is partly due to the low success rate of secret techniques, and partly due to the limited communication between different phoenix species, which are unwilling to provide high-quality blood essence to other phoenixes.

Feng Xiao hoped to use Han Lu and Ming's success to bring this matter to the forefront.

This is an upgraded version of the strategy proposed by Yu Feng and the other phoenix clan leaders based on the discussion they had that day.
