The fluctuation should be right here. Jing Li looked around but didn't find anything. Then she felt something brush against her leg. Jing Li instinctively kicked the thing away and found that it was a dark red egg. The fluctuation coming from it was exactly the same as the one she had sensed earlier.

Then, watching the egg roll around several times before finally stopping, Jing Li picked it up without any embarrassment. What kind of egg was this? She had never seen one before. She wondered what it would taste like if she roasted it.

"You bad guy, you can't eat me."

It actually still has its own consciousness. But judging from its tone, Jing Li touched his nose. He definitely didn't bully the small animal.

What are you?

The egg in his arms trembled slightly, and its color seemed to have darkened a little. Was it just his imagination?

"To put it another way, what breed of egg are you?"

"The noble phoenix, humankind."

Jing Li almost lost her footing and dropped the egg on the ground. The two great divine races, the dragon and the phoenix, had long since disappeared into the river of history. Now, the few remaining branches of the dragon and phoenix bloodline on the continent, with their thin bloodlines, all consider themselves the orthodox lineage and do not respect humans at all.

As a result, the egg claimed to be a phoenix. Jing Li shook his head: "You wouldn't happen to be a fire demon, would you?" A ball of red flame shot out directly from the eggshell, almost smearing Jing Li's handsome face. It was intercepted by the Yin-Yang Demon Flame, and then two fireballs, one black and one white, danced around the red egg. Why were their movements so obsequious?

"Little Yin Yang, could it be that you ate something bad?"

"Master, it's delicious, I want more."

Wasn't the little Yin-Yang creature just eating the flames spewed by this egg? Even powerful beast fire is something the little Yin-Yang creature despises, yet it's showing such interest in the flames from this egg. Legend says the phoenix is ​​reborn from the ashes, its flames incredibly powerful. Could it be that the creature he's holding is truly a phoenix, long extinct on the continent?

Why wasn't the egg in her arms moving? Curious, Jingli reached out and poked it with her paw. After a long while, a weak voice came from inside the egg: "My energy is almost used up, I need to sleep..."

"How can we replenish its energy?" The phoenix is ​​known as the immortal bird. If this egg falls asleep, it will be a long time before it wakes up.

"Flame, spiritual energy."

This is easy. Jing Li directly transformed the Yin-Yang Demon Flame into a Tai Chi pattern, surrounding the phoenix egg. Then, he took out a pile of high-grade fire-attribute spiritual energy from his ring, and with a wave of his hand, it turned into spirit stone dust, which then surrounded the phoenix egg.

Ye Xiruo was a little embarrassed: "Master, are you roasting eggs? It seems like you're overusing your talents by using Yin-Yang Demon Flame."

"It shouldn't be. Roasted eggs shouldn't be seasoned, but instead, so many high-grade spirit stones are used."

"Perhaps the Palace Master is incubating eggs." Hua Rong's words were truly shocking; she dared to utter such treasonous words, and soon received sharp glares from Ye Xiruo and Si Hao.

"I was just kidding, just kidding."

“Look at the Palace Master’s points.”

The group looked and exclaimed in disbelief, their expressions and actions were remarkably similar; their master's ranking had dropped to thirty-third.

"That egg." The group quickly realized the key point: it was just an egg, yet it was worth 300 points. They wondered what kind it was. It seemed their master was quite lucky.

With the Yin-Yang Demon Flame and a large supply of spirit stones, the phoenix eggshell finally became brightly colored, like a top-grade ruby. It felt like warm jade to the touch, with a shimmering light constantly moving around it, and faint golden patterns appearing and disappearing on the eggshell.

Jing Li has always appreciated beautiful things, and the color, feel, and texture of this phoenix egg perfectly matched his aesthetic sense, instantly alleviating some of his displeasure. Even if it was just a turkey, it was a beautiful turkey, and Jing Li was certain he wouldn't mind.

How are you feeling now?

"Much better. I knew you were a good person."

Jing Li, who had been inexplicably given the "friend zone" card, revealed a wicked smile: "That's right, there is no better human than me. Do you want to come with me?"

"You just tried to eat me."

"How could that be? You're so small. Even if you hatch, you'll be too tiny for me to eat."

"So, you're not going to eat me anymore."

"I'm a vegetarian," Jing Li lied through her teeth.

"Absolutely true."

"Alright then, you must take good care of me. There's too little spiritual energy in this area, so I have to go into a deep sleep."

How long have you been asleep?

"It's been over a thousand years! I can't remember."

Jing Li was utterly speechless with shock. She hadn't expected that this little thing was still an egg and was already over a thousand years old.

"Follow me, and I won't let you remain in a deep sleep. I have several different flavors of flame at home; would you like to try them?" Does the Azure Lotus Flame count? Yes. Does the Ice Heart Flame count? Of course. If all else fails, I'll shamelessly ask my master to borrow the Nine Dragons Crimson Gold Flame.

"Okay, I'll go with you. I also have a place to live, and I'll take that with me."

"good."

Following the phoenix egg's directions, Jing Li easily found the so-called nest. This herb was the Ten-Thousand-Year Phoenix Blood Grass, said to grow only where a phoenix fell, absorbing its essence and blood—a probability of only one in a thousand. Phoenix Blood Grass is the main ingredient in refining Phoenix Blood Pills, possessing the miraculous effect of reshaping the bloodline and enhancing the aptitude of birds and those with fire spirit roots.

However, without a second thought, Jing Li simply placed the red grass nest directly on the phoenix egg's head and stuffed it into her spatial ring. This was the little phoenix's nest, perhaps the thing that had accompanied it the longest over the years; she'd save it for when it hatched.

"Look, Master's points."

Good heavens, this is too unscientific! She's broken into the top ten! Did she accidentally achieve some amazing success again? Many people were incredulous when they saw Jing Li's ranking soar.

After stuffing the phoenix egg into the container, Jingli began to check if anything had been removed. After all, this place must be quite special for the little phoenix to have chosen it.

It turned out to be a small fire-attribute ore. Jing Li took out a black pellet from her spatial storage and threw it at a certain spot, blasting a five-meter-deep crater. Holding a small shovel, she jumped down to mine.

"My master's luck is truly enviable."

"This is something everyone on the continent knows," Si Hao said expressionlessly.

Why?

"He picked up his apprentice's luck." It's something that makes people envious but can't help it.
