A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

Huo Ling'er patted the egg with her hand, then brought her face close to examine it carefully, and even put her ear to listen.

“I always feel a sense of familiarity and warmth towards this egg, unlike an inanimate object.”

Then Huo Ling'er glanced at Shi Hao and noticed his hidden nervousness.

Huo Ling'er couldn't help but roll her eyes at Shi Hao, "If I choose to refine this Phoenix Egg directly and completely extinguish that Phoenix Maiden's hopes, I'm afraid someone will come after me to my death."

Clearly, if Huo Ling'er had made the second choice, then the Phoenix Maiden would have completely vanished from this world, and all her fortune would have been transferred to Huo Ling'er.

The first option might lead to a miracle in the future, allowing the Phoenix to be resurrected.

Although the primordial spirit and soul have been annihilated, if there is still a trace of the Phoenix Maiden's true spirit remaining in this egg, then as Huo Ling'er's cultivation gradually improves, the Phoenix Maiden will have the opportunity to be awakened.

Shi Hao clearly hoped that Huo Ling'er could take the egg with her.

But the hope of the Phoenix Maiden reappearing is too small, so he didn't want to interfere with Huo Ling'er's decision.

Hearing Huo Ling'er's words, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Shi Hao said awkwardly, "Friend, just a friend, this is really just a friend."

"Qingyi and the others, you even called them enemies at first!" Huo Ling'er's pink fist landed on Shi Hao.

A man's mouth, a liar.

Huo Ling'er had no way to refuse Shi Hao's many female confidantes.

But that doesn't mean she won't have any objections.

It's normal to have opinions; if he were to accept it indifferently, Shi Hao would actually feel uneasy.

Actually, Shi Hao also felt bad for Huo Ling'er. But Huang Nu was really just a friend!

Shi Hao still vividly remembers his experience of accidentally wandering into the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea.

He remembered the idyllic environment there, the peaceful people, and the devastation when the alien enemies finally arrived.

Although it was only a brief experience, Shi Hao could not forget it.

He truly considered the Phoenix Maiden, the girl holding a Qilin, and the young man carrying a celestial sword as his friends.

He also had genuine respect for those seniors who had guided him.

"I'll keep it with me. It would be interesting to think about if a phoenix hatched from it someday."

Huo Ling'er made a decision: she had never been to the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea, but others from the Three Thousand Provinces had.

This is not exclusive to Shi Hao, but an opportunity that any peerless genius might encounter.

Huo Ling'er had also heard Qin Hao and the others mention it, and had some understanding of the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea.

If it could bring that phoenix maiden back to life, she would be willing to help her.

Yunhua nodded. "Actually, if you keep it with you all the time, the effect is no worse than refining it directly."

"By carrying the Phoenix Egg with you, you essentially have an external cultivation accelerator, speeding up your cultivation, improving your aptitude, and strengthening your foundation..."

"Over time, your aptitude and foundation will be enhanced to a terrifying level, no weaker than direct refinement."

Huo Ling'er nodded, understanding Yun Hua's meaning.

Carrying it around has this effect; refining it directly is equivalent to turning this cultivation accelerator from an external one into an internal one.

If she can truly bring the Phoenix Maiden back to life and successfully undergo rebirth, then she will also enjoy the process, which is equivalent to undergoing a pure Phoenix Nirvana herself.

However, such a nirvana will take a long time.

However, if it is ultimately successful, the benefits will far outweigh those of refining the Phoenix Egg now.

If successful, Huo Ling'er will possess qualities and resources no less than those of the Celestial Phoenix, and the world will also gain a Celestial Phoenix that is closest to Huo Ling'er.

Buy one get one free, which is obviously more profitable. But the prerequisite is that the transformation is successful.

Huo Ling'er suddenly blinked rapidly at Yun Hua, her voice melodious and undulating:

"Uncle Yun, you have a way, right?"

Huo Ling'er realized that Yun Hua actually supported her keeping the egg with her.

She was absolutely certain that Yunhua would not mistreat her.

"Ahem." Yunhua coughed a few times. "How old are you? Still acting like a child."

"But I do have a way."

Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er's eyes lit up. "What's the plan?"

Chapter 1266 I Have a Friend

“I have a friend who is a Celestial Phoenix. Hmm, his cultivation is quite good.”

"Using his pure blood as a catalyst, we can infuse this phoenix egg with new life."

"However, that true blood is powerful. Even without any imprint fragments, it must be absorbed slowly. One cannot be greedy and act rashly."

"What is the cultivation level of your friend?" Shi Hao asked, recalling the Immortal Phoenix Inheritance True Blood that Yun Hua had given him when he was cultivating the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Technique.

“His realm is slightly higher than that of the Supreme One,” Yunhua said.

"What exactly is the realm?" Shi Hao pressed, sensing that it was no simple matter.

"Celestial King".

"..." Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er's expressions began to turn strange.

Shi Hao asked seriously, "Brother Yun, tell us honestly, is the friend you're talking about yourself?"

“How could that be?” Yunhua denied. “I am a pure human.”

"The true blood of a Celestial Phoenix at the Celestial King level—this is simply a heaven-defying fortune!" Shi Hao exclaimed, feeling it was enough to make up for all his regrets.

"Isn't this too expensive?" Huo Ling'er hesitated instead.

"Oh, it's not valuable at all. If Brother Yun can afford it, you should just accept it," Shi Hao said casually.

Yun Hua glanced at Shi Hao, "You really don't know how to be polite with me."

"Of course!" Shi Hao said matter-of-factly.

When he's with Yunhua, he forgets how to be polite.

"With the true blood of a Celestial King and this Celestial Phoenix egg, damn it, I suddenly feel pressured." Shi Hao muttered, "I'm inexplicably envious."

This treatment is too good, even better than that of a biological son.

Huo Ling'er's treatment is so exceptional that it's practically impossible to find another like her in the entire world.

Even in the Immortal Realm, very few people have ever enjoyed such treatment.

The true blood of a Celestial King, and the Celestial Phoenix Egg filled with divine substances—such a thing would be a treasure even in the Celestial Realm.

Aside from the children of immortal kings, or those with extraordinary destiny, such as protagonists of an era, they might enjoy this treatment.

For the rest of us, it's just a dream.

No, I probably wouldn't even dare to dream of such a wonderful thing happening.

Shi Hao felt that he was twisted and unbalanced.

Of course, he didn't have a problem with Huo Ling'er. The greater Huo Ling'er's opportunities, the happier he was.

Isn't it something to be very happy about that your Daoist partner is getting better and better?

This is why he immediately thought of Huo Ling'er after obtaining the Phoenix Egg.

Besides the fact that Huo Ling'er is a fire-attribute cultivator, it's also because Shi Hao knows that.

This girl has been working hard to catch up with herself, and she longs to stand beside herself and walk side by side.

He would be even happier if Huo Ling'er could gain even greater benefits.

He was twisted and unbalanced because of Yunhua. He stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Yunhua.

"Take it!" This perfectly embodies the spirit of "taking what is given."

Shi Hao looked at Yun Hua with bright eyes, "Brother Yun, you can't forget who your real little darling was just because you have a daughter-in-law now!"

Yunhua waved her hand, "Go away, you leaky bastard, how dare you say that?"

"You've lied to me for so long, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"If you don't give me something good, I'll... I'll..." Shi Hao stammered for a long time, but couldn't come up with a coherent explanation.

"Go ahead and hit me, go ahead?" Yunhua smiled nonchalantly.

"I definitely wouldn't dare hit you," Shi Hao muttered. To actually lay a hand on you would be an act of utter treason.

However, a sudden inspiration struck Shi Hao.

Shi Hao said fiercely, "I'll go tell Liu Shen that you have a crush on her."

Shi Hao uttered some shocking and outrageous words.

Huo Ling'er was shocked, her mouth agape as she stared at Yun Hua in astonishment.

Yunhua was also shocked, staring at Shi Hao in disbelief.

How could such words come out of your mouth? You're slandering someone's innocence out of thin air!

Shi Hao looked smug. "Anyway, you handle it."

A despicable person, truly a despicable person. A rebellious son, truly a rebellious son. Yunhua felt like she was about to have a stroke.

How could they become so shameless and ignorant, actually using such a thing to frame him and blackmail him?

"Is this true?" Huo Ling'er asked Shi Hao quietly, her eyes sparkling with gossip.

"I don't know." Shi Hao shook his head. "Although in my opinion, Brother Yun and God Liu don't have any special relationship."

"But! That doesn't stop me from going to Liu Shen to tell her."

Shi Hao made no attempt to conceal his meaning and laid it all out there.

He's just making things up, so what?

Huo Ling'er's gaze toward Shi Hao became strange; she looked at Yun Hua and then at Shi Hao.

"I finally understand why you were beaten..." Huo Ling'er said softly.

She understood, she understood everything. Such a rebellious son had to be disciplined.

"What are you talking about?" Shi Hao asked, puzzled.

Huo Ling'er shook her head and remained silent, deciding that in the future, she would keep her distance from Shi Hao at certain times to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Huo Ling'er had a premonition that for Shi Hao, the care he received from Zhenyuan Immortal King and the other two was definitely not the end.

There will definitely be more surprises in the future.

Yunhua was completely stunned; she hadn't expected Shi Hao to say something like that.

In this case, it wouldn't actually cause any real harm to Yunhua.

Even if Shi Haozhen went to talk to Liu Shen, it wouldn't make a difference. Everyone is already familiar with each other and won't misunderstand anything.

Shi Hao was also well aware that the person he was informing on was Liu Shen, who was also a family member, and it was an amusing incident between family members.

He wouldn't go around gossiping with irrelevant people. Yunhua and Liushen are innocent, a fact known to all.

However, this was a devastating blow to Yunhua.

Have I really sunk to such a pathetic state as having a crush on someone...?

"One shouldn't be too immoral," Yunhua said seriously, staring at Shi Hao.

Shi Hao didn't care at all, "Maybe if I went and spoke up, I would have helped you, Brother Yun."

"Do I need your help?!" Yunhua punched Shi Hao on the head.

“I’ve arranged a teacher for you,” Yunhua said, giving in.

"Just one teacher?" Shi Hao frowned. "I feel like I don't need any other teachers."

"You can teach me everything now."

“There are some things I can teach you, but it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to teach them,” Yunhua shook her head.
