The busy year of 1966 has passed, and 1967 has come in a blink of an eye.

Since sending his sons out to live an independent life, Ji Shang Zhenyi feels that his life has suddenly flashed, and his life has become more comfortable. Living a shameless little life with his wives all day long, he can only be described with a cool word.

Especially the birth of his youngest daughter Chi Shang Dongxue, which made him have a happy temperament, and he had a smile on the corner of his mouth all day long.

There are already seventeen sons Chi Shang Zhenyi, but there is only one daughter.

Compared with the noisy stinky boys, he prefers to have a girl who will be a little padded jacket in the future.

This daughter is not only liked by himself, but also by the whole family. Especially Cha Cha Sula, who was even more happy to give birth to a daughter.

Although this girl has been living in Sushimoto for so many years, she still has reservations about the habits of the tribe. For example, this feminine habit has always been in his heart.

The little princess, who is pampered by the whole family, not only received the care of the whole family, but also received gifts from the whole family.

All mothers, aunts, retainers, subordinates, etc., as long as they worked in Chishang Castle, sent gifts and sent their blessings.

Of course, this is limited to the interior of the castle. Not many people know about it.

Chi Shang really didn't want to make it known to the whole world, and with his current status, if he held a birthday celebration for his daughter, it would be a lot of trouble.

And their Chi Shang family has never had this habit, except for the eldest son who did it briefly, the rest were simply celebrated in the castle.

So even if he likes his youngest daughter in his heart, it won't be too special for this, otherwise it will be unfair to the other sixteen sons.

Although he can't celebrate his youngest daughter's birthday, his heart as a father will not be left behind.

According to his old habit, each of his multiple children would give a gift of a magic weapon made by himself.

In order to make a special gift for his little daughter, Chi Shangzhen really spent a lot of brain cells and a lot of effort.

After thinking about it, he finally paid attention to the phoenix feather he had just gotten, and decided to refine it into a good magic weapon for his little daughter.

As for the big-mouthed starling, then I can only say I'm sorry.

For this matter, Chi Shang Zhenyi deliberately went to discuss it with his wife Yahui, and finally agreed to several unequal treaties before agreeing to it, and he silently cried goodbye to this in his heart.

Although he was treated unfairly from his wife's side, Ji Shang really thought it was worth it.

In order for his youngest daughter to have a decent gift, he, as a father, can grieve himself.

With my wife's approval, all obstacles are gone. Then he plunged into the basement and began to prepare for refining magic weapons.

Castle basement.

Chi Shang Zhenyi looked at the phoenix feather in his hand, and one refining plan flashed in his mind from time to time, but in the end, they were all vetoed.

He wants to give his daughter another gift of his, and that can't be too simple.

"Ah~~"

A sigh came from Chi Shang's true mouth, and then he put the phoenix feather in his hand back into the Earth Fire Formation.

"There is too little feather, and this feather has not recovered at all, if you want to refine it, you need to recharge it before you can recover it, so it's too wasteful. ”

With one hand on his chin, he whispered to himself.

Although Chi Shang Zhenyi is willing to bleed for his little daughter, there must be a amount.

After his calculations, if he wanted to charge this phoenix root feather tenfold to meet the refining requirements, at least seven or more amethysts were needed, or even more.

So many purple turbidity crystals are a resource for Chi Shang Zhenyi, and the most important thing is that he can leave this resource. As long as you rely on the earth fire veins to slowly accumulate, you can do it.

If it's just a waste of energy, he's ruthless and reluctant.

What's more, he felt that a faint phoenix feather couldn't refine anything decent at all, and there were too few materials.

It was precisely because of these reasons that Chi Shang Zhenyi hesitated for a while, not knowing how to decide.

Looking at the phoenix feathers that were slowly absorbing the energy of the earth fire in the formation, Chi Shangzhen was full of thoughts, and after a while, a notice suddenly came to mind in his heart.

According to the legend, returning the king of the hundred birds is not only the ability to command the birds, but also has a fatal attraction to some fire-attribute demon birds.

Because according to legend, as long as the fire attribute demon bird can obtain a phoenix feather and refine the energy essence into its own use, it will have a great possibility to evolve.

Therefore, the phoenix feather in his hand is a good bait, which can be taken out to lure those fire attribute demon birds.

And among the many fire attribute monsters in the monster, the most powerful is the phoenix fire.

(Legend has it that the phoenix fire is the incarnation of the firebird in the magma, and it is the flame left in the world when the phoenix is nirvana.) Wandering in the world to commit abuse, he was finally accepted by Izanami, the ruler of Hades, and turned into a guide to Hades. In ancient times, it usually represented death and was generally regarded as the end of life. ）

(There is also a saying that the phoenix fire is a demon fire in the center of the earth for ten thousand years, and its flame is a ball of fire with the upper layer purple, the middle layer black, and the lower layer red.) I often like to transform myself into a human form, both male and female. But most of them have evil faces. The male in the form of a transfiguration is generally black hair, pointed ears, long black nails, a white shirt and a purple shirt, surrounded by purple flames. Women generally are: purple hair, pointed ears, long red nails, a tattoo of a purple phoenix on the left half of the face, a red bottom of a black dress, and a red flame around the body. It represents the self that once wandered in the world. ）

Thinking of the phoenix fire, Chi Shangzhenyi's eyes immediately showed a hint of brilliance.

This kind of monster also belongs to the phoenix lineage, and it is transformed by the firebird into the essence. A fire feather misato is abnormal, and it has extremely high fire resistance, even if it enters the magma, it is fine.

"But now I don't know if there can be a phoenix fire in this environment, let's try it!" muttered softly, and Chi Shang Zhenyi immediately turned around and left the basement.

Since you have decided to use the phoenix feather in your hand as bait to attract the possible phoenix fire, you must investigate the information and feel it beforehand.

As a Tianzhu powerhouse, it was still very easy for Chi Shang to really want to inquire about things, and it didn't take long for a reply to be sent out.

In the castle tower, Chi Shang Zhenyi sat in front of the coffee table, holding the intelligence information about the phoenix fire that Kusuji Yamada had just sent.

According to the information, the last time the phoenix fire was spotted was in the Kumamoto Aso mountain realm one hundred and sixty-nine years ago, and no one has seen it since.

Putting down the information and drinking all the tea in one gulp, Chi Shang looked out the window and said softly: "Aso Mountain!"

Mt. Aso is a famous active volcano in Japan. Located in the northeastern part of Kumamoto Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, it is a symbol of Kumamoto's regional symbol, and is famous for its compound volcano with a large caldera.

Its topography as a whole is slightly elliptical, with a length of 24 kilometers from north to south, a width of 18 kilometers from east to west, and a surrounding area of about 120 kilometers, with an area of 250 square kilometers.

Located at the intersection of the east-west trending Hakusan volcanic belt and the north-south trending Kirishima volcanic belt, it is composed of Miocene-Pleistocene andesite and rhyolite, which has been around for more than 90,000 years.

Because the temperature of the lava rock is over 1,000 degrees Celsius all year round, there is no vegetation around the crater, which is in stark contrast to the green of the surrounding plateau.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the perennially restless Aso volcano spews a faint sulfur cloud that envelops the entire crater.

Standing on a white cloud, Chi Shang really looked at the Aso volcano below, which was completely shrouded in sulfur clouds, like the gate of hell.

I closed my eyes and sensed the surroundings carefully, but I didn't feel half of the demonic aura at all. However, he was not disappointed, because according to the habits of the phoenix fire, it is likely to hide inside the volcano.

"I hope I don't come for nothing. ”

Pressed the head of the cloud and landed on the edge of the volcano.

Looking at the majestic Mount Aso in front of him, Chi Shang Masa's mood couldn't help but be a little agitated, and he secretly sighed that the greatness of nature could often create such a landscape.

Suppressing the interest in watching, he walked about a hundred meters towards the forest, found a flat area, and Chi Shang Zhenyi began to bend down to carve his formation on the ground.

This time, in order to be able to catch the phoenix fire, he decided to use the energy diffusion formation with the phoenix feather to attract the other party.

This energy diffusion array can maximize the diffusion of the five grades of breath, and it is generally used to place spars to improve the environment. Putting a phoenix feather in it can affect a range of at least five kilometers.

The formation was not difficult, and soon Chi Shang's true intention was completed. However, he did not stop, and continued to carve on its periphery.

This time, it is a trapped formation, which is used to guard against a possible surprise attack of the phoenix fire. It took more than an hour to finally finish portraying the trapped formation.

He took out the phoenix feather from his bosom, carefully inserted it into the center of the formation, and then placed the eight green turbidity crystals one by one according to the position left in advance.

Outside the formation, Chi Shang Zhenyi quickly changed the seal with both hands, and finally pointed in the air, and a burst of energy shot into the formation. Suddenly, the entire formation emitted bursts of energy brilliance, and then disappeared.

Looking at the formation that had already begun to run, Chi Shang nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around and left.

Now that the bait has been laid down, it is up to heaven to see if there are any fish to bite the hook.

In fact, he didn't have a score in his heart about whether he could catch Phoenix Fire this time, and he didn't dare to guarantee it.

After all, the environment is so harsh now, and it's really a bit difficult for youkai to survive.

However, he was still more than half sure in his heart, because according to the habit of phoenix fire, as long as there was magma flame, he could survive. Therefore, its vitality is much stronger than that of ordinary monsters.

The temperature in early spring is still very cold, and the forests around Mount Aso are still very desolate. However, in this desolate forest, there was a faint strange aura, slowly spreading around.

This breath is formless, colorless and tasteless, and usually ordinary people can't feel it at all, and only some extremely special groups can feel its existence.

And in this breath a kilometer away, a 'young' man in an onmyoji hunting suit was standing still in place with a folding fan in his hand, as if waiting for something.

"I didn't expect there to be a lot of small animals!"

Chi Shang's eyes were like eagles, and he looked at some strange small animals popping up from time to time next to the formation a kilometer away.

These small animals are all fire attribute animals with some spirituality, and there are these faint energies in their bodies, and they are not far from the spirits.

For these small animals, the phoenix feathers in the formation are simply a pot of perfect tonic soup, as long as they can devour it. No, as long as they can go in and absorb a little bit of the leaked Origin Aura, they will also be able to evolve.

So, although none of these animals have any intelligence, they all follow their instincts to circle around the outside of the formation, hoping to find their way in.

However, these small animals are destined to fail, because the most basic protective ability of Chi Shang Zhenyi's formation script can automatically block creatures that do not enter the rank.

As if sensing that there was no door, a group of small animals outside the formation began to attack each other and bite each other.

Compared to the phoenix feathers in the devouring formation, they can also play an evolutionary role in devouring each other.

In the distance, Chi Shang Zhenyi watched a group of snakes, insects, rats and ants fighting each other outside the formation, and his expression did not change at all, as if he was watching a shadow puppet show.

For him, these small animals in front of him, which are not even spirits, are not worthy of his attention at all, and his purpose this time is only phoenix fire.

Time passed slowly, and a large number of the small animals outside the formation had died, but the target that Chi Shang was really waiting for still did not appear.

Although the wait was tireless, he had already made a decision when he came, and this Aso volcano hunting operation would take three days.

If he didn't wait for the Phoenix Fire in three days, he would go to other volcanoes and continue to squat. In order to make a birthday gift for his daughter, Chi Shang really meant to be out of the way.

Time continued to pass, the sun in the sky slowly tilted westward, and the battle outside the formation was nearing the end, leaving only the Will Fire Red Centipede, a Fire Red Toad, and a Fire Red Big Spider.

After a fierce devouring and killing of each other, these three small animals have broken through to the spirit level.

Now that they are sane, they know that the feathers inside are treasures, and that they will become even more powerful if they kill all their opponents.

After a moment of stalemate between the three spirits, the three spirits slaughtered together again, for the sake of the 'victory' in their hearts.

But they don't know that even if they do win, what they get is just a bubble.

At the bottom, they will never know that what they are fighting for is just a fake bait dropped by the superiors, they can see that they can't eat, and their efforts are just in vain.

Facing the three spirits who had already fought to the end, Chi Shang Zhenyi ignored it at all.

Because he had now faintly felt a powerful demonic aura slowly coming out of the Aso Volcano in the distance, and this demonic aura was very powerful. The feeling for him was no worse than the black heavenly demon he gave to Yahui.

All this shows that this monster who has not yet met is a great demon who has cultivated to reach the fifth rank.
