Blood Squid

Alex left the island with the Phoenix fire. While Phoenix fire was good, it wasn't as helpful for him at the moment since his own Qi could heal him far more effectively.

He did wish to try and learn how to make Phoenix fire, but even with his True Fire Dao, he could see absolutely no way of creating the fire.

He could create a fire that burned blue, purple, red, and orange simultaneously, just like a Phoenix fire would, but it would not have the all-burning trait that the Phoenix fire did and did not heal at all.

Alex wasn't disappointed by the result, however, as it would be impossible for him to do something that a heavenly beast could only do. He would have been disappointed if he had Phoenix's blood in him, but since he didn't, there was still a chance for him to be able to make Phoenix fire just yet.
