In the distant past, a Qing Luan appeared on the land of the Nine States. However, since then, it has been a very long time that no trace of the Qing Luan has been seen again on the land of the Nine States.
Divine bird 'Qing Luan', extremely rare.
Does she have a mother?
"I've seen quite a few demons too, but it seems I haven't seen any mother and child together yet." Teng Qing Shan said with a smile. Li Kun pursed her lips, wrinkled her small nose, and a beautiful dimple appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Brother Teng, just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It can only be said that you've seen too few demons."
Teng Qing Shan saw Li Kun's expression, which was exactly like a spoiled kitten from his past life.
"Ah." Teng Qing Shan immediately woke up, "Xiao Juan, let her ask her mother about it."
"Hmm." Li Kun's thoughts were very delicate, and she also sensed that Tan Qing Shan's eyes were not quite right earlier, which made her heart feel sweet and tender, with a faint blush on her face, she let out a soft cooing sound towards the nearby Qing Luan, who responded in kind.
"Teng big brother, this green bird is asking us if we also want to go see its mother?" Li Juan said.
"Oh?"
Teng Qing Shan furrowed his brow in thought. Once the Blue Luan matured, it would at least be at the level of a congenital Golden Dan. And as for the Blue Luan's mother, what kind of power did she possess? Even if she was just a Void realm-level demon beast, Teng Qing Shan wouldn't be too surprised! However, in front of a Void realm demon beast, he himself didn't have even a bit of resistance.
Lacking the ability to resist, this is what Teng Qing Shan dislikes.
"Come on, Teng big brother. What is the mother of the divine bird Qing Luan like? Don't you want to take a look?" Li Kun's bright eyes were full of expectation, she liked demonic beasts and naturally wanted to see the mother of Qing Luan even more. "Teng big brother, I think its mother won't have any hostility towards us. If there is hostility, with Qing Luan's mother flying speed, we can't escape even if we want to! It's better to go and take a look openly."
Teng Qing Shan nodded involuntarily upon hearing this.
On the sea, the speed of the divine bird Qing Luan flying is far beyond that of the Crazy Wind Eagle! If the other side really makes a move, their own side will indeed have no way to escape.
"That's good, let's go take a look. What kind of mother is this Green Luan!" Teng Qing Shan laughed loudly.
Li Kun's face showed joy, and he said to Qing Luan, who immediately flapped his wings excitedly.
"Yoo-hoo!" Li Kun shouted to the distant Wind Eagle.
"Teng big brother, I've spoken with Xiao Hui, let it stay here and take care of the tung wood boat. Let's go with Qing Luan now." Li Kun said with a smile, Teng Qing Shan held his wheel gun and nodded with a smile. At this time, the divine bird Qing Luan beside him suddenly let out a loud cry and walked towards the inner island.
The divine bird Qing Luan is relatively 'slim', its back is not wide, even if it can carry people, it can only barely seat one person.
If Teng Qing Shan and Li Kun both go up, it's likely that Teng Qing Shan will have to hold onto Li Kun.
"Qing Luan is leading the way ahead." Li Kun walked happily, shoulder to shoulder with Teng Qing Shan, under Qing Luan's lead deep into the desolate island.
This island is very quiet.
In the forest, they couldn't see any beasts at all, nor was there any trace of wild animals. After a while, Tan Qing and his group walked along the rolling hills for a long time before arriving in an empty mountain valley. This mountain valley was filled with thick, fire-red trees, their leaves also a fiery red.
On these big trees, you often see huge bird nests, and some of the nests have a fiery bird.
When Tuan Qing and Qing Luan arrived here together with Qing Yu.
"Wow~~"
"Wow~~~~"
A loud, shrill cry echoed from the mountain valley forest, and a fiery bird poked its head out of the treetop nest. Each one had hostility in their eyes. However, after seeing Qing Luan lead the way for two humans, these fiery birds stopped screaming loudly and became much more obedient.
"So many Blazing Birds! Tan Da-ge, what we saw before was only a part of it!" Li Kun's eyes shone with surprise.
"There are almost a hundred of these firebirds here." Teng Qing Shan chimed in, his gaze lingering on the thick, crimson trunks of the trees, "Fire Paulownia! According to books, firebirds only build their nests on Fire Paulownia trees. It's true! The branches of this tree are harder than steel and can withstand fire. Its value is even higher than that of tung wood."
Hong Qingshan watches the fire maple.
Li Kun watched the Blazing Bird, but in an instant he didn't notice Qing Luan.
With two sharp claws, the Bluebird continued to walk forward, its long, seven-colored tail feathers hanging down, as if a fairy was strolling.
"Whoa~~" Qing Luan walked up to a pool of water and let out a loud cry.
Heng Qing Shan and Li Kun finally woke up with a start.
The green bird chirped a few times, then directly plunged into the water pool. Li Kun was shocked and turned his head to look at Teng Qing Shan: "Teng big brother, this green bird says that its mother is in another valley. It's very difficult to climb from there, but it's easy to get through from this water pool. Let's follow it."
"Haha." Teng Qing Shan laughed, "This green bird went to see its mother and directly flew into the valley. But for us to follow it as a guide, we have to go from the water pool."
"Let's go down."
Teng Qing Shan and Li Kun simultaneously jumped into the water, Li Kun had a water-repelling pearl, in the water was actually relaxed. The water-repelling green pearl made the surrounding half-meter no water. Li Kun put this water-repelling green pearl on her belly position, her whole body would not get wet. Teng Qing Shan was holding Li Kun's hand.
Teng Qing Shan's legs were still soaked in water.
"Whoosh~~" Teng Qing Shan slapped his legs, and the water surged forward. He directly pulled Li Kun, following Qing Luan to swim forward for a while before floating up to the surface.
"Wow~~" After the green mandarin duck came out of the water, it let out a cheerful quacking sound.
"Brother Teng, Qing Luan said he has arrived."
Hong Qing Shan pulled Li Kun's hand and also made a "poof" sound as they burst out of the water surface, splashing up quite a few water droplets. Afterwards, they fell onto the lake shore.
"Is this where the Mother of Qing Luan resides?" Teng Qing Shan looked around.
This is a quiet mountain valley surrounded by mountains on all sides, cold and chilly above the sea, but warm as spring in the valley. Various flowers are in full bloom. Not far away, there are also thick and sturdy fire maples growing, and in the center of the fire maple forest, there is a giant fire maple tree that is at least three zhang wide, known as the king of fire maple trees.
It's strange that such a thick and sturdy fire paulownia tree king is actually quite short, only about 10 zhang high.
A huge flame is on this tree king.
"This is——" Tong Qing Shan's eyes widened in shock.
"Could it be..." Li Kun was also stunned.
The blue bird, however, spread its wings and flew in that direction, turning its head back to let out a loud cry.
"Brother Teng, Qing Luan said that's its mother. Let's go past." Li Kun swallowed hard, his eyes full of shock.
Hong Qing Shan and Li Kun both gazed at the giant flame on top of the Fire Phoenix Tree King, which was a gigantic divine bird with entirely fiery red feathers, its body as long as four to five zhang. Its tail feathers, which were also folded together, were even longer than those of the Azure Luan. However, the tail feathers of the gigantic divine bird were still fiery red!
The whole body is covered with fiery red feathers, and even the crest on top of the head, which grows naturally, is also fiery red!
The entire body is bathed in flames.
"Coos... coos..." The green phoenix let out low, mournful cries.
That gigantic divine bird gazed at the two humans by the lake shore with a pair of eyes that shone in dreamy colors. Then, with a whoosh, it spread its wings and took to the sky, its previously closed tail feathers fully extended.
Its body is four or five zhang long, but when its two wings are spread out, it is nearly ten zhang long.
Like a fiery red cloud descending from the sky, flying towards Teng Qing Shan.
"Feng Huang, the legendary divine beast that never dies, Feng Huang?" Tong Qing Shan was completely stunned.
"Undying Fire Phoenix, Fire Phoenix!" Li Kun also stared blankly.
The whole body is crimson phoenix, if the green luan is like a noble princess, then this crimson phoenix is like a noble queen.
The undying fire phoenix blinked its eyes and flew to the front of Teng Qing Shan and Li Kun before landing.
"Undying Phoenix, Fire Phoenix?" Teng Qing Shan could clearly remember the records of the demonic beasts in the book, among which "Undying Phoenix" was one of the main recorded species.
Undying Phoenix: Also known as the Fire Phoenix, it possesses an undying body. Wherever the Undying Phoenix passes, a trail of scorched earth remains. The blood of the Undying Phoenix has the power to revive those on the brink of death. One of the most fearsome divine beasts. According to legend, the Undying Grass only grows in places where the Undying Phoenix resides.
"Qing Luan's mother, how can she be an undying phoenix?" Teng Qing Shan was filled with astonishment in his heart, "And also the Undying Grass!"
Undying grass, priceless! Can directly increase human lifespan by 200 years! It's worth noting that even the strongest innate peak cultivators only live for 200 years. If you add another 200 years to that, it's possible to enter the Void Realm much earlier. Even if you don't enter the Void Realm, just increasing your lifespan alone is enough to drive countless strong practitioners on the Nine States continent crazy.
But...
The Undying Grass is extremely hard to obtain. The only record in the book is that there may be an existence of Undying Grass where the Undying Phoenix resides.
But the undying phoenix is an absolutely terrifying existence!
"Unexpectedly, Qing Luan's mother turned out to be the Undying Phoenix!"
"The Qing Luan itself was formidable enough. Once it transformed into a virtual realm, I didn't expect it to be even more terrifying." Teng Qing Shan was secretly shocked.
The enormous body of the undying phoenix, like a small mountain in front of Tan Qing and Li Kun, its eyes also scrutinizing the two humans before it.
"Cheer up, cheer up!" Qing Luan was by the side of the Undying Phoenix, cheering non-stop.
The body of Qing Luan is like that of an infant in front of the Undying Phoenix.
The undying phoenix glanced at the blue bird, with a hint of pampering in its eyes. Then it looked carefully at the green mountain and let out a few chirps.
"Brother Teng." Li Kun was shocked.
"What?" Teng Qing Shan looked at Li Kun.
Li Kun said: "Just now, Qing Luan and the Undead Phoenix said that they want to follow us together, go out and make a name for themselves. They also praised you highly, saying that last time you were weaker than it, but now you are stronger. So it wants to follow Brother Tun with you to break through."
"And... it also mentions your boxing skills. And this 'Phoenix Rises from the Ashes' is to have you demonstrate your boxing skills once again." Li Kun said.
"Want me to demonstrate the fist method?" Ting Qing Shan was taken aback.
"Ya~~ya~~" Beside Qing Luan also made a loud cry towards Li Kun.
Li Kun said: "Qing Luan just said that, let Tun brother you demonstrate the fist method again. Let his mother feel at ease!"
Teng Qing Shan felt a suffocating sensation in front of the Undying Phoenix, as if facing an insurmountable flame mountain. "Since the Undying Phoenix wants to see my fist technique, fine!" Teng Qing Shan swung his hand and the Wheel Turning Gun transformed into a residual shadow, flying towards the nearby cliff wall and inserting itself into the rocky surface.
