Lingxiao walked deep into the forest and spread out his spiritual perception, detecting some abnormality ahead. He cast a stream of spiritual energy forward, whereupon the outer layer of a giant boulder began to crack. It turned out to be a piece of Blood-colored Jade—and an enormous one at that, standing a full five meters tall.
Just as Lingxiao intended to store the Blood-colored Jade inside the pocket dimension of his Jade Pendant, a fire bird suddenly rushed out. Looking closely, Lingxiao saw that it remarkably resembled a phoenix. Could this be the legendary phoenix?
Having experienced the infusion of Dragon Qi, even with the appearance of a phoenix, Lingxiao did not seem all that surprised. The phoenix appeared furious, as if guarding this massive piece of Blood-colored Jade, and charged straight at Lingxiao. Lingxiao had not expected the phoenix to attack without a word, nor had he anticipated its formidable strength as it unleashed a fierce burst of flames toward him.
