Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 1886 - 1412: Harvest

But since this was a condition set by our own ancestor and already promised, this Elder had no room to oppose it; the Phoenix Clan couldn’t afford such humiliation!

Moreover, to use five pieces of Spiritual Objects to befriend a Heavenly Immortal who can resolve the hidden danger within the Phoenix Ancestor’s body, from a long-term perspective, is actually a good thing.

The Phoenix Ancestor also likely considered this aspect.

After thinking it through, the Phoenix Clan Elder calmed down and sent someone to the molten fire pit to wait for Li Zhirui.

On the other side.

After spending an hour, Li Zhirui’s internal Mana had recovered to about thirty to forty percent, so he collected his energy and stood up since this environment was really not suitable for his recovery.

"Senior, now that this matter is resolved, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave." He then bid farewell.

"Alright."

The Phoenix Ancestor did not object; she also noticed Li Zhirui’s discomfort and reminded him, "When you go out, you’ll meet a junior specifically waiting for you; he will guide you to the Phoenix Clan’s secret treasury, where you can choose five treasures at will."

"This..."

Seeing him about to decline, the Phoenix Ancestor forcefully interrupted, "Do not refuse! This is your rightful reward."

"Thank you, Senior, then I shall accept it graciously."

"I return this tail feather to Senior."

This tail feather is of considerable grade, containing a trace of the Phoenix Clan’s essence and having been nurtured in this environment for countless years, it has long since become a Heavenly Immortal Rank Spiritual Object.

"There’s no reason to take back what’s given."

"Let’s go, I’ll take you out."

Saying that, she transformed into a Fire Phoenix with molten lava, leading Li Zhirui ahead.

The time spent on the way out was indeed faster than on the way in, and soon enough, he saw the sky’s rays of light pouring down.

"Greetings to the Phoenix Ancestor and Senior." An Earth Immortal from the Phoenix Clan who had been waiting outside for a long time quickly bowed in respect upon seeing the two.

"Fellow Daoist, you should follow Little Yanzi to the secret treasury."

The Phoenix Ancestor said apologetically, "Thanks to Fellow Daoist’s methods, the Earth Evil Fire Poison accumulated for countless years within my body has been completely purified. I now need time to properly recuperate and restore my vitality; please excuse me for not being able to personally see you off."

"Senior, please rest well, there’s no need for such formality."

"You must take good care of Li while I’m away. If I find out after my seclusion that Fellow Daoist was mistreated, I won’t easily let you off!"

Feng Yan hurriedly promised, "Phoenix Ancestor, rest assured, we will definitely not let Senior be wronged even slightly."

Afraid of being punished for any negligence.

Li Zhirui could only smile faintly on the side; it was evident that the Phoenix Ancestor valued this Earth Immortal junior a lot, otherwise she wouldn’t speak this way.

"Then I’ll return first. When Fellow Daoist visits the Undying Volcano again in the future, our Phoenix Clan will surely greet you with the grandest and most solemn ceremony."

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Senior." Li Zhirui replied with a smile; he knew it was mere polite talk, and who knows how many years will pass before he returns.

Perhaps by then, he would have transcended and left the Primal Spirit Realm, so he didn’t refuse.

It would be a waste of time to make a round trip.

"In the secret treasury are the top-grade treasures accumulated by our Phoenix Clan over countless years, each one could ignite deadly battles upon being taken out."

Before departing, the Phoenix Ancestor reminded, "Even those veteran Heavenly Immortals would be tempted by them, so Fellow Daoist must ensure proper sealing; ordinary Storage Magical Treasures can’t block the prying of certain Secret Techniques."

"Thank you, Senior, for the advice."

Li Zhirui stiffened in alertness, indeed he had neglected these aspects.

But he couldn’t be blamed; the Li family wasn’t some veteran Heavenly Immortal family, unaware of many confidential matters.

"Looking forward to our next meeting, Fellow Daoist."

Saying that, the Fire Phoenix transformed into splendid fireworks, quickly scattering into points of flame and disappearing.

"Senior, please follow me."

Li Zhirui nodded slightly, saying, "Thank you for the trouble."

The place where the Phoenix Clan resides is planted with countless Wutong trees, each one tall and lush, as he followed Feng Yan, winding through the path.

The further they walked, the taller the Wutong trees grew, with their years of growth stretching back ever longer.

They didn’t know how far they had walked until they stopped before an imposing Wutong tree towering into the clouds.

This Wutong tree before them was the largest and tallest tree Li Zhirui had ever seen!

The trunk at the base was at least several miles thick, and the treetop was like a giant canopy covering an area of dozens of miles.

Standing before it, one couldn’t help but feel small and very oppressed.

Even though Li Zhirui was already a Heavenly Immortal, he felt significant pressure.

"Little Yanzi, is this the human cultivator who helped resolve the Earth Evil Fire Poison in the Phoenix Empress’ body?" Suddenly, a large face emerged from the tree trunk, asking in a voice full of ancient aura.

Phoenix Empress, not Phoenix, is the true name of the Phoenix Ancestor, and addressing her as Empress was normal.

From a seniority standpoint, the Phoenix Ancestor isn’t ranked lower than Doumu; and as for cultivation, it goes without saying—she was likely among the first to break through to Heavenly Immortal in the Primal Spirit Realm.

If it weren’t for redemption, she had sworn to suppress the Undying Volcano; with her qualification, she would have transcended and left the Primal Spirit Realm long ago.

Li Zhirui didn’t expect this enormous Wutong to have developed Spiritual Intelligence!

Moreover, as he awoke, Li Zhirui could feel his powerful aura, conspicuously indicating he was also a Heavenly Immortal.

"Old Wu, this is the Senior who assisted the Phoenix Ancestor." Feng Yan, as the intermediary, introduced them, "Senior, this is the ancient Gu Wu of our Phoenix Clan."

"Greetings, Senior." Li Zhirui respectfully greeted, acknowledging Gu Wu’s superior strength and age, thus calling him Senior wasn’t unwarranted.

"Hmm, you may enter."

Unexpectedly, Gu Wu’s reaction was rather cold, seemingly not wanting much involvement with him.

Li Zhirui wasn’t resentful or angry about this; he wasn’t a Spirit Stone, couldn’t expect everyone to like him.

Besides, ’racial discrimination’ is quite common in the Primal Spirit Realm; many humans despise all alien races, believing the human body to be the best and most suitable for cultivation.

They have ample reason to prove this; if the human body wasn’t the best, why does every being shape-shift using the human form as a template?

So encountering a ’racial discriminator’ was something he regarded as a mere chance encounter, never to meet again, only needing some superficial courtesy.

After Gu Wu finished, his immense, sturdy frame suddenly parted to reveal a space hidden within the tree.

Through the opening, one could see the luminous, dazzling top-grade Spiritual Objects inside.
