3 Birth of the Phoenix

"No no no…. You can't die, young master!"

Trembling in fear at what would happen if Li Feng died now, Yu Yan hastily brought out high-level healing pills from her spatial ring. But, she suddenly stopped and didn't dare put it inside her young master's mouth in fear of the situation turning worse.

After all, she had no idea what was wrong with Li Feng due to which taking the wrong kind of healing pill could result in harming him instead of healing him.

Therefore, grabbing onto Li Feng's arm to take his pulse, Yu Yan at the same time began probing his insides with both her Qi and Divine Sense to find out what was happening.

"Aaahhhhh!!!"

Screaming loudly from both pain and shock, Yu Yan pulled back her Qi and Divine Sense before they were damaged any further by the scalding hot energy inside Li Feng's body.

"Young master?"

No longer daring to probe what was happening to her young master, Yu Yan felt like she was stuck between a hard place and a rock since she couldn't just stand aside and watch or give him those healing pills which were all created to heal specific parts.

In the end, Yu Yan gritted her teeth and pushed a low-level healing pill inside Li Feng's mouth which would heal every part of his body which was injured. Though the effect of it couldn't compare to the high-level pills she didn't use, there was no chance of injuring him any further.

Once she did this, Yu Yan looked towards the pale faced Li Feng and began thinking about what she should do next.

At the same time, she couldn't help but think back to that mysterious energy inside Li Feng's body which burnt both her Qi and Divine Sense when she tried to probe his injuries.

Luckily, she pulled them back quickly. If not, she definitely would have suffered from a backlash.

Thinking this, Yu Yan was about to contact her mistress and inform her about what was happening when she noticed Li Feng's body changing.

Well, it wasn't exactly changing but rather he stopped showing signs of his condition deteriorating. With his heart continuing to beat despite having dangerously slowed down, Li Feng's body no longer turned colder by the second.

"Fuuu…", letting out a sigh of relief since this meant that he wasn't going to die, not right away at least, Yu Yan continued monitoring the changes taking place to her young master's body.

...

Completely unknown to both the unconscious young boy and the doctor who only knew how to use healing pills, Li Feng wasn't actually dying. Rather, he who was supposed to die was slowly recovering.

And the reason behind this, it was the shiny yet dried up small bright red coloured chunk made of unknown material which was stuck at the end of the feather's shaft entering Li Feng's body through the puncture wound it created when he gripped it too tight.

Upon entering Li Feng's body, the chunk other than being embraced by Li Feng's warm blood was moved throughout his body and all the way inside his heart which by then was covered in cracks and on the brink of being destroyed.

Even though Li Feng knew that he wasn't the apple of his mother's eye, never did he expect that the woman whose recognition he sought for with every breath would abandon him all of a sudden.

Especially not on the day of his birthday.

Therefore, when he finally snapped out of his denial and accepted the cold heart truth, Li Feng lost his will to live due to which the veins connected to his heart shattered and began fulfilling his wish.

Entering Li Feng's heart, the chunk made of unknown material suddenly started melting.

Along with showing off a bright glow, the chunk was soon no longer solid in structure but rather liquid.

A bright red drop of blood.

So bright in red, that Li Feng's own blood seemed like it was black in comparison to the foreign blood.

Once the chunk had turned into a drop of blood, it didn't leave the heart along with the rest of the blood through the barely functioning veins. Staying in the same place while going against the flowing current, the drop of blood began shining the same way that its previous form, the chunk did, and along with it released boundless energy which gave warmth to Li Feng's dying body.

…

"My dantian?"

Tilting his head lifelessly, Li Feng neither cared nor showed any interest in why his consciousness was at this place.

Before today, Li Feng like others couldn't wait to start cultivating in hopes of becoming an expert since that's what he considered would make his mother proud, but none of that mattered anymore to him.

So what if his Spirit Root was higher than Sky Grade?

It was at this moment that Li Feng looked up to see red coloured rays entering his empty Dantian and piercing through his blue coloured Spirit Root.

"What's happening?"

Showing some curiosity despite not caring about anything a few seconds back since he never read or heard about any such thing, Li Feng watched with his own eyes as the blue coloured Spirit Root was forcibly penetrated by the red rays and turned into a similar colour.

At the same time, the size of his new red coloured Spirit Root also grew by as much as three times!

"Wha…!!!!"

Grabbing onto his head tightly before he could finish his words due to being assaulted by a headache all of a sudden, which should be impossible for him to feel given how only his consciousness was here, Li Feng's eyes soon turned bright as stars as he muttered, "Phoenix blood…"
