The Secret Realm of the Queen Mother of the West, the first level of the Three Thousand Fire Houses, the Red Lotus Sea of ​​Fire.

Xu Yinglian injected his true energy into the Phoenix Feather Arrow and threw it into the air.

I saw the small feather arrow spinning in the air, and suddenly it was like a whale sucking water, sucking in all the flames in the red lotus sea of ​​fire below.

However, as long as the flames were pushed back about ten and a half feet, the surrounding sea of ​​red lotus fire surged in again, counteracting the suction force of the Phoenix Feather Arrow's flames and achieving a balance.

Qiu Changtian did not dare to delay, and quickly went down side by side with Xu Yinglian and stepped into the fire passage.

The lava ground beneath your feet is not only scorching hot, but also as soft as mud, and your boots can easily sink into it.

Xu Yinglian lost her balance and Qiu Changtian quickly supported her. The two of them walked hand in hand and continued to move forward. When they came to the deep bottom of the lava sea, they finally saw the phoenix egg.

This is a palm-sized egg with a shell that flows like lava, with golden and red patterns intertwined and difficult to distinguish from each other.

Next to the phoenix egg is a giant bird skeleton.

Xu Yinglian stared at the bird skeleton, and his eyes were involuntarily filled with compassion.

In her opinion, the original owner of the phoenix remains was undoubtedly the mother of the phoenix egg.

The Phoenix is ​​not afraid of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, and the Phoenix mother's death can only be due to her injuries.

In order to prevent the enemy from getting her child, she risked being seriously injured and did not seek treatment, but dived into the depths of the red lotus fire to lay an egg. Is this the great love of a mother?

"Brother." She asked in a low voice, "Can I take this phoenix egg and raise it?"

"Raising a phoenix?" Qiu Changtian laughed in silence.

For human sects, the standard for raising monster beasts depends on the bloodline cultivation of the monster beast itself.

For example, Kunlun allows some intelligent cranes to live inside the Kunlun Mountains - after all, these cranes have basically no chance of transforming, and will not threaten Kunlun disciples.

But when it comes to high-level monsters like the Phoenix, Kunlun Sect’s attitude is hard to say.

After all, there is a Qilin at the gate of Donghuang Road. Usually it lies there like a big boss, doing nothing, as if it were a Buddha.

**, they won’t listen; if I drive them away, I can’t bear to let them go, as I feel that they can still help when the sect encounters a crisis... In short, it is very difficult to deal with.

Qiu Changtian thought carefully for a long time and nodded:

"Junior sister, you can keep her first. If she is indeed well-trained, then even if Master finds out later, we will at least have a reason to explain."

"But if you can't tame it, Junior Sister can't continue to raise it, or let it go. You still have to report it to the sect and let them handle it."

"Of course I know that." Xu Yinglian, like all first-time pet owners, has almost unlimited confidence in herself. She said calmly, "As the Phoenix Fairy of the Tiannan Xu family, if I can't even handle a newly hatched phoenix, wouldn't I be laughed at by the world?"

So she bent down to pick up the phoenix egg. The moment her fingers touched the eggshell, the phoenix egg immediately turned into a golden red stream of light and rushed into her fingers.

Xu Yinglian:?

Qiu Changtian: ...

In his sea of ​​consciousness, Xu Yinglian only heard a clear and melodious female voice saying:

"You are a descendant of the Tiannan Xu family, right? I will borrow your body for the time being. When my spirit and soul are fully nurtured, I will pass on the supreme magic of the Phoenix clan to you."

Xu Yinglian showed a look of horror.

…

Kunlun Mountains, Yuxu Palace.

The head of Ziwei Sect put two fingers together and pointed them at the center of Xu Yinglian's eyebrows.

Qiu Changtian watched nervously from the side, his worry evident on his face.

Where is the cute young Phoenix? How come it suddenly became an old bird? Is my wife possessed by someone else?

After a while, Master Ziwei put away his fingers and said:

"Interesting secret method."

"Master..." Qiu Changtian couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, Chang Geng." Master Ziwei smiled slightly, "I didn't expect you to have such an expression. Very good."

Qiu Changtian: ...

"Qiongying's situation is rather special, but there is no need to worry. The phoenix is ​​just using her sea of ​​consciousness to heal itself." Master Ziwei continued, "After her spirit and soul are fully recovered, the phoenix will leave her body, be reborn from the ashes, and obtain a physical body."

"For the Phoenix, taking over the human body is far less powerful than their own body that has been reborn from the ashes, so you don't need to worry about this."

After hearing this, Qiu Changtian showed a look of relief on his face, but he became even more worried in his heart.

Naive, Master, so naive!

Regardless of whether the other party has the motive to take over my wife's body or not, as long as he temporarily lives in my wife's body, it means that his life and death are in his hands. How can I feel at ease?

But since Master Ziwei said so, he certainly couldn't say that he didn't trust his master's judgment. He could only secretly decide to find a way as soon as possible to ensure that his wife would not be possessed by the phoenix.

Got it! If my junior sister and I are more intimate, will Fenghuang get tired of it and give up on replacing my wife?

Master Ziwei had no idea what his beloved disciple was thinking, so he just told Xu Yinglian:

"Although the phoenix in your body is not too old, it is an old predecessor from the early ancient times."

"Be careful to be polite when communicating with her and don't be disrespectful. She has already promised to teach you the Phoenix Secrets, and she will definitely not break her promise."

Xu Yinglian understood Ziwei Sect Master's meaning effortlessly:

In the early ancient times, it was the period when the witch clan ruled all clans, and the relationship between the human race and the demon clan was extremely good, otherwise there would not have been a marriage between Feng Tong and the Xu family.

Furthermore, the Phoenix of that era was also the most trustworthy and virtuous race among the demons, and was known as the "first of the five virtues." If they said they would give you a reward after you transferred money, then they would definitely give you a reward, which was completely different from any telecommunications fraud.

"Disciple knows." Xu Yinglian said seriously, "Disciple will definitely consult this Senior Fenghuang."

Qiu Changtian was worried beside him, but he had to pretend to be happy for his junior sister. He felt really uncomfortable.

After bidding farewell to Master Ziwei and returning to Jinling Cave with his junior sister, Qiu Changtian looked at Xu Yinglian, who was in a good mood, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong, senior brother?" Xu Yinglian noticed that he looked strange and asked curiously.

Qiu Changtian was silent for a moment, then opened his arms:

"Come here, Junior Sister, give me a hug."

Xu Yinglian didn't understand what was going on and her face turned slightly red. She came over and hugged her senior brother with her backhand, but she didn't rub against him like a little fox, nor did she hold him tightly like Miss Shi. It was just a simple hug.

"What are you doing?" Phoenix asked curiously in the sea of ​​consciousness, "Hug?"

"It's just a courtesy between Taoist companions." Xu Yinglian was embarrassed to answer, but remembering the instructions of Master Ziwei, he still said it reluctantly.

"You two are Taoist couples?" Fenghuang said in surprise, and immediately shouted, "Then why are you hugging him?"

"Hold his limbs and push him down!"
