Chapter 501: Chapter 502: Phoenix Soaring in the Sky

Ever since Lin Zhen successfully fed Little Phoenix, their relationship improved somewhat.

Perhaps Lin Zhen’s Flame Therapy Skill was indeed effective for Little Phoenix, making it no longer resistant to healing in Lin Zhen’s arms.

The second time, after Lin Zhen successfully fed and treated Little Phoenix, it finally showed a reaction.

Both Phoenix and Kirin are of fire attribute, and their flame power is beneficial to each other. However, it seemed that Little Phoenix felt that Lin Zhen’s flame power was weaker. When Lin Zhen was healing it for the second time, Little Phoenix made a move.

It raised its little head, glanced at Lin Zhen with a contemptuous look, and then a bright golden-yellow flame appeared.

Even after Lin Zhen’s extensive training, his flame power was only light yellow, which was achieved by relying on a trace of Little Phoenix’s bloodline power. Despite being so small, Little Phoenix’s flame power had already far surpassed Lin Zhen’s.

Moreover, Lin Zhen felt that this was not the limit of Little Phoenix’s firepower because it was still in a wounded state.

As soon as the flame appeared, a wave of heat rushed in. Lin Zhen instinctively dodged it, but the flame caused no harm to him.

Not only was there no harm, but his flame quickly merged with Lin Zhen’s flame, becoming one and indistinguishable from each other!

Both human and bird were enveloped in the flames, and Little Phoenix stared wide-eyed at Lin Zhen.

It originally intended to humiliate Lin Zhen with its own flame, but it didn’t expect the flame to merge so quickly. After spinning around in Lin Zhen’s body, Lin Zhen’s firepower crazily increased!

Even Lin Zhen didn’t expect such an effect. The Black Hole Beast’s power was manifested at this moment. Little Phoenix’s flame power and his own had the same origin, and they were effortlessly devoured and merged by the Black Hole Beast!

As the flame power poured in madly, Lin Zhen’s inner flame skyrocketed!

Light yellow, medium yellow, deep yellow…!

After twenty minutes, the flame reached deep yellow!

Although it had not yet reached the two further phases of bright yellow and golden yellow, which were still a bit away from Little Phoenix’s flame power, such an effect from a single fusion was already sufficient to barely refine ores!

Lin Zhen believed that with more time and a few more fusions, he would surely be able to emit a golden-yellow bright blaze like Little Phoenix!

“Hahaha~! It worked! The Black Hole Beast’s talent is indeed powerful, effortlessly merging the flame power of a Super Star River Beast.”

Feeling thrilled, Lin Zhen looked down at Little Phoenix, who was looking up at him from his arms. He couldn’t help but hug it to his chest and pressed a kiss on its beautiful, pointed little beak!

At Lin Zhen’s sudden kiss, Little Phoenix was stunned for about three seconds, seemingly unable to believe Lin Zhen dared to kiss it, and then it began to frantically struggle.

For Lin Zhen, this kiss didn’t mean anything. The other party was not a person; it was just a casual expression of happiness and affection.

Fortunately, Little Phoenix’s body hadn’t healed, so it had no resistance against Lin Zhen. He patted its body with a smile and gently embraced it, “Little darling, you really are my lucky star. Now everything has hope.”

Little Phoenix buried its head in Lin Zhen’s arms, seemingly quite angry, but there was nothing it could do against him.

After holding Little Phoenix all night, it seemed to regain some strength the next day. It refused to stay in Lin Zhen’s arms any longer, swaying out to stroll on its own, occasionally flapping its wings and flying to a not-so-high altitude.

Lin Zhen then began his grand plan of refining Thunder Crystals!

“Good morning, baby. You stay on the side. After I finish with this, I will make you some food.”

Little Phoenix glared at Lin Zhen and ran to a relatively higher place, watching his actions.

Lin Zhen didn’t avoid Little Phoenix, taking out a large piece of Thunder Crystal ore from the ground and putting it into the furnace.

With a thought, deep-yellow flames surged out and began to burn intensely.

“Melting point…melting point…almost there!”

After about five minutes of burning, Lin Zhen finally succeeded in reaching the melting point of the Thunder Crystal ore this time.

All the material began to break down, and the melted Thunder Crystals gathered as if they were flowing water, with all impurities being burnt to nothing.

As the flame power receded, Lin Zhen used his Spiritual Power to lift the Thunder Crystal and then raised his hand, enveloping the crystal in freezing air to cool it down instantly.

After solidifying, the crystal stone took shape.

It was the size of a palm, with strands of thunder and lightning energy surging within. This was the unique characteristic of Thunder Crystals. Once they solidified, they would automatically generate thunder and lightning. Once absorbed by Lin Zhen, they could not only enhance his Star Power but also improve his control over the Thunder and Lightning Element.

Ignoring Little Phoenix’s gaze from a distance, Lin Zhen held the crystal in front of him and activated the Devouring ability!

An inconspicuous black hole appeared, and then all the energy within the crystal stone was absorbed by Lin Zhen, turning it into an ordinary crystal without any power.

“Hiss~~!!”

Lin Zhen took a deep breath. His current realm was at the early stage of Constant Star Level 4. After absorbing the crystal, his power indeed increased slightly, but the crystal was too small, containing too little power, so the improvement was very tiny.

Success!

However, Lin Zhen didn’t feel much joy. He looked down at his feet, and this garbage star was about the size of the Earth’s moon. It would take a long time to complete the absorption in such small portions, and it probably wouldn’t be faster than normal cultivation.

“My flame power is still not enough!”

Lin Zhen sighed, looking at Little Phoenix.

Little Phoenix cocked its head, looking at Lin Zhen motionlessly, seemingly very shocked by his action of devouring the energy of the crystal just now.

For some reason, Lin Zhen could always see some human-like expressions on Little Phoenix, possibly because it used to live with humans, otherwise, it wouldn’t like human food so much.

“Come here, darling!”

Lin Zhen waved at Little Phoenix, thinking that if he wanted to gain stronger flame power, it would ultimately depend on Little Phoenix. If he could get its golden flame power, melting the crystal stones would become much easier.

Little Phoenix turned its head away, seemingly unimpressed with Lin Zhen’s call.

Gravity!

Swish!

Little Phoenix fell uncontrollably into Lin Zhen’s arms, its feathers on its head standing up, angrily pecking at Lin Zhen several times. Unfortunately, it felt more like tickling Lin Zhen.

“Darling, are you hungry? Try the grilled fish I made for you.”

Lin Zhen hugged Little Phoenix for a moment, then immediately started bribing it. He took out a delicious fish from Blue Bay Star from his Space Ring. The fish was translucent and jelly-like, delicious and beautiful, definitely a rare delicacy.

After half an hour of busyness, Lin Zhen’s chef persona successfully made a lavish meal, and Little Phoenix didn’t hold back. It ate heartily without saving any for Lin Zhen, the cook.

“After you’re full, let me heal you with my flame power to help you recover.”

Holding Little Phoenix, Lin Zhen once again activated his flame power.

But this time it didn’t work. Little Phoenix ignored Lin Zhen and didn’t release its power again, leaving Lin Zhen’s efforts in vain.

However, Lin Zhen, who claimed to have understood Little Phoenix’s temperament, was not discouraged at all. He wholeheartedly healed it, and every time it was hungry, he made it new and delicious dishes. Within three days, Little Phoenix seemed to have gained some weight.

Apart from eating and healing, Little Phoenix would rarely stay by Lin Zhen’s side. It would always run to a high place to stand but wouldn’t go far. It knew that being with Lin Zhen was the safest thing for it right now.

Although Little Phoenix still appeared proud, Lin Zhen secretly rejoiced in his heart. He knew that Little Phoenix was gradually getting used to his approach, and the connected bloodline couldn’t be avoided. It’s impossible for it to truly reject him.

On the fourth day, Lin Zhen made another big table of dishes.

“Come on, darling. Today we have not only grilled meat but also fruits and vegetables. You have no idea how hard it is to get these fresh vegetables. I guarantee that no one in the entire Chaotic Star River can get them except me.”

Lin Zhen didn’t lie. These vegetables were collected from the Dark Star World. Since entering the new era, many strange vegetables, fruit trees, and other things had been born in the Dark Star World, growing at an incredibly fast rate.

These fruits and vegetables were not only fresh but also contained energy. If ordinary people ate them, it would be very easy to live a long life.

Even consuming these for advanced martial artists like Lin Zhen would have considerable benefits.

Little Phoenix was obviously curious about where Lin Zhen got these things from, since they had been together these past few days, and Lin Zhen had not left the area. Where did these things come from?

It cocked its head and looked at Lin Zhen for a while before it started to eat.

This meal was very enjoyable. Little Phoenix happily ate to its fill, then laid down and looked at Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen’s heart leaped with joy. Little Phoenix wanted to heal its wounds!

He reached out to pick up Little Phoenix and started to heal it once again.

“Little darling, don’t worry. Even if you don’t want to release your flame power anymore, I will definitely heal you, so that you can spread your wings and fly freely in cosmic space one day!”

Lin Zhen smiled and patted Little Phoenix on the back like coaxing a child while humming an unknown song.

The ancient song from the Earth Calendar era had long been lost, and probably only Lin Zhen could sing it in the whole universe now.

“Phoenix in flight… its feathers flapping… disappearing without a trace, listening to the sound of raindrops on the phoenix tree… the leaves rustling… swaying memories with the wind… ”

The singing was gentle, ethereal and distant, echoing in this garbage basin and creating a strange atmosphere.

Little Phoenix nestled in Lin Zhen’s arms, its eyes hazy, and a golden flame that was already somewhat white began to rise slowly around its body…
