Upon hearing Lin Chen mention Skill Four, Bai Ling’s eyes lit up, unable to hide her joy. "Come, Chicken, give a display," Bai Ling said. The Red Feather Chicken squinted, then spread its wings, and in an instant, platinum light flowed between its wings and feathers... "Phoenix Karmic Fire?!" Lin Chen swallowed hard. "Hehe..." Bai Ling nodded, showing a joyful expression. She told Lin Chen exactly what Liu Gu had said, believing that the Phoenix Bloodline in the Red Feather Chicken was very concentrated, and since it used Phoenix Essence Blood for its evolution, it awakened such a skill. Lin Chen also took a deep breath. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱 Simply put, Phoenix Karmic Fire is similar to World-Purifying True Flame, but there are still differences... After all, Phoenix Karmic Fire is the exclusive skill of the Immortal Phoenix, so after evolving to the Divine Enlightenment Realm, it is more powerful than World-Purifying True Flame. But evolving Phoenix Karmic Fire is also more difficult. Lin Chen looked at it, his mouth almost watering... If Little Fox could also possess Phoenix Karmic Fire, how great that would be. Phoenix Karmic Fire + World-Purifying True Flame paired with Heart-Burning Fire Control, under this mode, the resulting fusion skill could be unimaginably overwhelming. But it can only be a fantasy... The possibility of Little Fox awakening Phoenix Karmic Fire is almost zero. After all, the races are different. After the Red Feather Chicken finished its display, Lin Chen’s eyes twitched, and he said, "It’s too strong, can I touch it?" The Red Feather Chicken squinted its eyes, instantly becoming extremely vigilant... It still remembered the grudge from the last time Lin Chen forcibly plucked its feathers. Bai Ling said, "Chicken, let him touch it, okay?" The Red Feather Chicken was unwilling in a thousand ways, but since Bai Ling spoke, it couldn’t refuse. Lin Chen happily approached, intending to pluck that feather, only to see the Red Feather Chicken pull out a feather from somewhere and hand it to him... Lin Chen was embarrassed. It even plucked its own feather. However, it should be less painful if done by itself. He happily accepted it and placed his hand on the chicken’s back. [Flame Feather Beast] [Advanced Spirit Transformation] [Dominant Bloodline: Flame Feather Beast 40%] [Hidden Bloodline: 50%] [Polluted Bloodline: 10%] Initially, Lin Chen thought there was a mistake, but once he recognized the reality, he was instantly jealous. He remembered the last time he checked the Red Feather Chicken’s data: [Red Feather Chicken] [Dominant Bloodline: Red Feather Chicken 40%] [Hidden Bloodline: 50%] [Polluted Bloodline: 10%] After evolving, it could still maintain the same bloodline ratio? Moreover, the Red Feather Chicken’s bloodline had completely disappeared... Lin Chen admitted, he was immensely envious. He relied on the Bloodline Golden Hand to operate step by step, but Bai Ling was like she had cheats... However, Lin Chen just felt jealous for a moment, and soon his mindset recovered. Since luck wasn’t on his side, he could only rely on himself to move forward slowly. Lin Chen briefly explained the situation to Bai Ling, including the matters about the Calamity-Devouring Beast consuming Spiritual Spring’s spiritual power. In the end, both of them thought it would be good to go separate ways since one spot wasn’t enough. With the guidance of the Calamity-Devouring Beast, they quickly found a new spot, which was Level 5. Lin Chen decided to leave the new spot to Bai Ling while he took Xiaobai and others back to the old spot. Unexpectedly, on the way, he encountered students from the Spirit Academy, which was the first time after being here so long. It wasn’t by coincidence, but because of the commotion the other side created—it seemed the Spirit Beast was training. When Lin Chen got closer, he recognized the person’s face, it was Zhang Suqing. Zhang Suqing was a strong contender for one of the three slots in their batch, but she had some disadvantages compared to Lin Chen and Fang You. And with hidden talents in the Spirit Academy, her third place was somewhat precarious. The two met, though not familiar personally, they had fought before. Lin Chen didn’t ask about her cultivation situation but instead tentatively asked, "Did you notice the Bronze Giant Tree appearing in the sky at the start of the month?" Zhang Suqing nodded and mentioned the white mist. She also told Lin Chen that she didn’t see this phenomenon in the first month. It was from the second month that she started seeing it. "Isn’t the second month when I came in?" Lin Chen was already deep in thought, then asked: "Did you try going in to check?" "I’ve been, but found nothing," Zhang Suqing shook her head. Lin Chen could tell that she wasn’t lying; without the guidance of the Calamity-Devouring Beast, Zhang Suqing probably couldn’t find the Spirit Spring’s location. He didn’t divulge this information since Zhang Suqing wouldn’t find it anyway. After some small talk, Lin Chen bid farewell and returned to his Spirit Spring spot. The tasks ahead for Lin Chen were heavy. Firstly, he needed to quickly get Xiaobai to Level 30 for the fifth bloodline refinement. Secondly, Little Fox’s fourth refinement was also nearing. After about five days, Xiaobai finally leveled up to Level 30. Thanks to it, Lin Chen also reached the milestone of Level 16. "Just four more levels, and Xiao Hei can be contracted," Lin Chen said, painting a rosy picture for the Big White Bear while leveling up. Actually, Lin Chen felt sorry for the Big White Bear on this trip. If all three Spirit Beasts could enjoy the nourishment of the Spirit Spring, leveling up would be very satisfying. After Xiaobai leveled up, it knew what Lin Chen was up to, and began training its skills diligently, trying to restore its status to full. After another roughly five days, Lin Chen finally started the bloodline refinement for it. "Are you ready?" Lin Chen asked. Lin Chen took a breath and started selecting the samples. Undoubtedly, the sample he had just received from Bai Ling’s Red Feather Chicken was extremely top-notch. Given the current situation, Lin Chen chose the best from the Sacred Beast Level samples, which he didn’t have many in hand. This time, Lin Chen aimed for about 20%, so the samples needed to be better. Considering his good relationship with Bai Ling, getting feathers would be easier in the future.... Hence, Lin Chen did not hesitate to refine the single feather. After applying the Bloodline Golden Hand, Lin Chen obtained a Blood Drop, placing his hand on Xiaobai’s head to probe. [Hidden Bloodline: 50%] [Conversion Efficiency: 46%] [On the edge of danger, but not a big issue] Seeing all this, Lin Chen was overjoyed. Everything coincided with the data he wanted. "Xiaobai, I’m about to start," Lin Chen said to Xiaobai. "This time it will be more painful than before, brace yourself." Though it had grown accustomed, recalling that kind of pain was always torturous. Seeing Xiaobai ready, Lin Chen began applying the Bloodline Golden Hand and quickly retreated. As before, Xiaobai was in such pain rolling frantically on the ground, even transforming into the Kui Spirit Beast. Lin Chen breathed heavily, anxiously watching from a distance... This time, Xiaobai’s pain lasted longer, only after twenty minutes did it gradually ease. Lin Chen saw this scene, and his tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed. The pain finally passed... Next, it was time to observe the changes brought by the bloodline refinement. According to Lin Chen’s understanding, this time it was the Eternal Damnation Demon Horn’s turn to start changing.
