"I'm sorry, I ...... Incubation failed......"

Before the aura dissipated, Li Yunuan took the lead in saying sorry, she lowered her head and walked out of the magic circle, and when she was about to pass by the side of the general spirit ancestor, she deliberately turned her head to avoid his gaze.

It's not that I'm afraid to see the disappointment on his face, it's just that I'm worried that when I look at him, I will reveal the secret in my heart.

But the general was clearly misunderstood. Looking at the apprentice grandson with his head drooping, he let out a long sigh. The young man, who was only half a head taller than her, put his hand on the girl's shoulder and comforted: "You have done your best, and it is no wonder that God is like this. ”

“...... But ......"

The light of hope that was finally caught in the darkness was extinguished so easily, Li Yunuan's heart ached like a knife, his throat was like a mouthful of phlegm, and he couldn't say anything.

Jiang Luo thought that she blamed herself for being incompetent and lived up to the expectations of the sect, so she softly comforted: "The phoenix egg is a thing from 10,000 years ago, and it is left to this day, and no one knows what changes may happen to it. In fact, this incubation is only 2% successful, and you only become 3%. It's unfair to have such a low success rate and still have you to take responsibility for failure. If I have to find someone to be responsible, it's also my fault, it's my luck, I insist on going my own way, and I must hatch. ”

“...... Master, don't excuse me anymore...... It was my incompetence that I failed to live up to your expectations...... There are still so many spirit stones wasted...... and Reiki ......"

Tears flowed out on their own without brewing, and she didn't know that the failure of the hatching was because she had done superfluous things, and naturally she couldn't understand her remorse at the moment.

He only thought that Li Yunuan's fierce reaction was purely because of his stubborn and competitive personality, and after a bit of relief, Ji Zhiyue, who was on the side, stepped forward to ,—— five days of sleeplessness, not eating or drinking, and every once in a while she had to cut her blood and draw talismans, so that she could have gotten a glimpse of the threshold of cultivation for the first time, and she should have been weak and soft.

Ji Zhiyue already has a friendship with Li Yunuan, and at this moment, he had to order him to step forward, but he didn't diagnose the pulse, and rolled out a large roll of white cloth and wound medicine to bandage her. The cold liquid applied to the back of the hand covered with red marks was a little itchy, but more so, it was pleasant. Li Yu accepted it warmly, no matter what Ji Zhiyue wanted her to eat, she just opened her mouth and swallowed it.

- The fact that the hatch failed put her whole body in a trance.

Seeing that the little junior sister was in such pain, Ji Zhiyue sighed and explained: "Little junior sister, you are too serious. The road to cultivation has always been bumpy, and it has been accompanied by countless failures. Even if you have excellent talents, you may not be able to have a smooth ride. Complete preparation is no match for the ruthlessness of providence. If you collapse because of this small failure, you will ...... in the future But how do you go on......"

Hearing this, Li Yunuan bit her lip, endured the tears that snatched her eyes, and said, "Senior brother, I'm ...... I know that my talent is not good, and the path of cultivation depends on stubborn climbing, and I have long been prepared to get up and start all over again no matter how many times I fall, no matter how many people beat me back to my original shape. But this time, it's really different, I ...... I...... I really can't...... Zongmen ...... Shizu ...... I...... I ......"

Li Yunuan, who didn't know how to explain the mixed flavors in his heart, fell silent again.

Ji Zhiyue only thought that she had a heart disease and needed a heart medicine doctor, so after processing most of the incisions on her wrist, she checked it again to confirm that it was correct, then raised her head and said to the general on the side: "Master, except for excessive blood loss, the little junior sister is fine. Before dark, I would prepare the medicine and send it to her room. It's just that she has been hit hard this time, and I'm afraid that she may be unstable and unable to enter the cultivation in the short term. ”

Jiang Luo nodded understandingly, and said, "I will leave all the things to you to take care of her." ”

"Yes. Ji Zhiyue replied, ready to withdraw from the courtyard, summoned Yan Luofeng's ordinary disciples to enter, and cleaned up the wreckage in the place. However, after only three steps, there was a sudden crisp sound of "squeak" behind him!

Is it the sound of eggshells breaking?!

He turned around in surprise and saw that Li Yunuan's face was full of incredulity, and even the eyes of the general master ancestor were full of surprise. So an arrow stepped forward, rushed to the center of the circle, and carefully observed the phoenix egg.

Fissure!

There is indeed an extra crack on the surface of the eggshell of the white jade!

There are only cracks that are the thickness of hair, and you will never notice if you don't look closely!

In an instant, there was silence in the courtyard, and even the flow of air came to a temporary standstill!

Just listen to the "click!", and the cracks began to spread like spider webs, more and more, and thicker and thicker!

Incubation, is it a success?!

After the eggshell is broken, is it a phoenix or a bird that jumps out?

The unknown devoured the onlookers like a black hole, Ji Zhiyue and Li Yunuan watched quietly side by side, the expansion of the crack was actually not slow, but every extension would make them feel that time had passed.

This is comparable to the tension of raising the heart to the throat, and every drop of "click" carries the urgency of the soul flying.

However, in just half a pillar of incense, Li Yunuan had the illusion of several reincarnations of life and death.

Finally, the first eggshell hits the ground!

The eggshell, which was only the size of a thumbnail, turned into a clear light and diffused in the air as soon as it landed, and the hot and abundant spiritual power poured out from the crack, but anyone with a little common sense could be sure that there was an earth-shattering holy beast hidden in the egg!

Smack!

Through the crack, Li Yunuan could clearly see that all the red flames tumbling inside were red, which was hotter and purer than the magma flames she saw in the crater, it was so rich that it could erupt at any time and burn the heavens and the earth!

Did it succeed? She thought happily, the excessive ups and downs made her heart a little unbearable.

But there is absolutely no way for her to leave, she wants to be the first to see the birth of a phoenix!

......

......

Blinding red, dazzling gold, dazzling enough to make the eyes bloodshot.

Although it was by no means unusual to prepare for what hatched inside the phoenix egg, when she saw a redbird that was bigger and fatter than an adult goose jumping out of the eggshell with flames burning all over her body, Li Yunuan's heart still swelled with a complex emotion of disappointment and excitement.

Is this Phoenix?

Chicken head, swallow's jaw, snake neck, turtle back, fish tail, five-colored, six feet high, like a flute, sound like a bell and drum, non-morning dew does not drink, non-tender bamboo does not eat, non-millennium sycamore does not inhabit, the most beautiful, most noble and purest divine bird in the world?!

But why is it that standing before me is a red bird fatter and bigger than a goose?

The slender neck, the glittering feathers, the screen-like tail, the colorful colors?

Where have they gone!

And its cry!

Rattle?

This...... It's a goose, right?!

In addition to the arrogant walking gait, this thing in front of him looks like a legendary phoenix!

Li Yunuan felt that she was about to faint.

Glancing at the side, Senior Brother Ji Zhiyue's expression was really the same as hers, intertwined with joy and frustration.

“...... Senior brother, is this a phoenix?" she asked anyway for the sake of caution.

Ji Zhiyue smiled bitterly: "The egg is undoubtedly a phoenix egg, something that hatches...... is as dazzling as the sun, and it can only be the emperor of the five phoenix clans. As for why it doesn't quite resemble the records...... Most of the phoenixes are arrogant and rarely interact with other clans, so the records about the phoenix only have the form of an adult phoenix, and ...... What the world imagines, right?"

Full of explanations of hypocrisy, but what is it in front of you, not a phoenix?

I saw the flaming big fat bird pacing with a proud pace, walking as if no one was around, and from time to time fluttering its fat wings, which were so fat that its feathers could not be distinguished, opened its mouth, and burped a fiery snake dancing wildly.

It's a nightmare!

Li Yunuan secretly thought, no wonder Yuehua's predecessor didn't respond to his call, he probably knew that the truth of the Dao Phoenix was so unbearable?!

("Seeing only what you want to see has always been a good habit for you humans.") ”）

In the sea of knowledge, the cold voice sounded suddenly, and the tone was quite unkind.

Hearing this long-lost voice, Li Yunuan actually felt a burst of excitement?!

She shouted in surprise, hurry up and tell me, this is not a phoenix! This fat bird is definitely not a phoenix!

("I'm so sorry, it's indeed a phoenix, a phoenix hatchling with pure blood.) ”）

Yuehua said coldly, with a vague smug hint between her words.

("The phoenix, as an ancient sacred bird, has always been overly deified and beautified. In ancient times, the heavens and the earth were chaotic, the way of heaven was brutal, and all things were used as dogs, if they were really gentle and noble, they would have been destroyed by the way of heaven and earth! It was only with the passage of time that the reproduction of human beings, such friefactor as civilization and morality began to become popular, that the mythical beasts were gradually covered up with their brutal nature and whitewashed into noble and noble totems. As for the phoenix, this clan is already good-looking, and they always put up a full shelf in front of the believers, as if they are really drinking morning dew. Eat the totem of tender bamboo!")

Oh!

Listening to Yuehua's words with a lot of unpleasantness, Li Yunuan hurriedly echoed.

What she saw and heard on the night of the freezing rain made her sure that Yuehua's predecessor and this fat bird were old acquaintances, and he said that it was a phoenix, so it must be a phoenix.

...... Even if the image of this fat bird is very different from the legendary noble phoenix!

“...... Senior Brother ......"

She trembled and pulled down Ji Zhiyue's sleeve, and said now: "Maybe, it's really a phoenix, right?! After all, the record of the phoenix is at least a thousand years since the phoenix disappeared, so it is inevitable that it will ...... Will be a myth...... What's more, the recorder can only see the phoenix after adulthood...... This newborn phoenix...... At least this spiritual power and flame can't be faked. ”

When Ji Zhiyue heard this, he picked the red hair on his forehead and said, "Senior sister is the inheritor of phoenix blood, since you think it is a phoenix, it must be a phoenix." It's just that the record about the phoenix is so far from the truth, and how to maintain it has become a big problem. Morning dew, young bamboo, sycamore...... Is this really what it likes?"

Li Yunuan was stunned for a moment, and then under Yuehua's instructions, he said, "...... I don't know very much about this. At that time, it will only be possible to try it one by one. I hope that although this Phoenix Divine Monarch is not as noble and benevolent as the legend, it will not be brutal and ferocious—"

As if to prove her wrong, before the words fell, the big fat red bird burped again, only this time it was not a wisp of fire that erupted from its mouth and nose, but a fireball the size of a bowl!

The pale golden fireball dragged all the way to scorched black, flying straight towards Li Yunuan and Ji Zhiyue!

The phoenix is the embodiment of flames, and the flames that spit out of its mouth cannot be extinguished by any water!

Once hit, it must-

But it's so menacing, there's no time to defend it!

Seeing that he was about to be hit, he only heard a "hey", and the green shadow flashed in front of him, just catching the surging fireball!

"Sure enough, it's a phoenix, and it's so angry when it's born. ”

Jiang Luo smiled, stood in front of the two apprentices, and with his hands behind his back, there was a hole in the sleeve robe woven with Yunxia silk.
