“I am Huang Ling, with the cultivation of the Mahayana stage. Take my child away and help her be born. I will give you the key to the Merfolk Palace, and you can receive the Merfolk’s inheritance.”

Why couldn't she be born on her own?

"Because when I was pregnant with her, I was wounded and on the verge of death in the great battle. After falling into the secret realm, I was about to disappear from the world. She was very weak at the time, and I left her my last chance to live. For thousands of years, she has been unable to hatch."

"Perhaps it's due to the influence of the secret realm, or perhaps the timing isn't right, but I just sensed it—you are the key to her birth."

Li Guang doesn't want to raise an egg.

Phoenixes are not easy to raise; they consume a huge amount of resources.

Moreover, she has many secrets, which causes her many inconveniences.

She wasn't the kind of person whose eyes would light up and who would feel immensely honored at the mere mention of raising a phoenix.

How can we see a poetic future if we don't solve the immediate practical problems?

"My strength is meager and my resources are scarce, so I'm afraid I can't help you. There are many disciples from major sects in this secret realm; you can seek them out."

"You are indeed too weak, but you are lucky. Even after losing the mermaid pearl, you were able to find another way. You did not become decadent, but instead faced death and lived. I have high hopes for you."

Those humans are the most cunning; I won't trust them. They only want to enslave my children. Someone's coming; come in first.

A flame enveloped her, and then she disappeared into the cave entrance at the top of the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, she arrived at a scorching and dry place, with fire lotuses blooming on her left and a red egg spinning in the air on her right.

It seems that this phoenix has amazing eyesight. She had clearly used a magic weapon to conceal her identity as a mermaid, but the phoenix saw through it directly and even knew that she had lost her mermaid pearl.

There is a phantom image of a phoenix in the middle.

"Yu Yu, look at the friend your mother found for you. Do you like her? Would you like to go out with her?"

As Li Guang was admiring the exquisite yet broken patterns on the phoenix egg, she was suddenly hit all over by it.

Ouch, this egg is so hot.

If it weren't for the Ice Soul Pearl protecting her, she might have gotten into a rage.

If the egg hadn't been moving, she would have thought the phoenix egg was cooked.

"Yu Yu, it seems you like her very much. She is also a demon, so you can sign an equal contract. After you are born, you can stay by her side. If you ever want to part ways with her, you can terminate the contract."

Why does Li Guang feel like she's just a tool to be used and then discarded?

"Senior, I can't afford to raise a phoenix. Just look at my cultivation level, and you'll know how empty my storage bag is."

"Yu Yu is easy to raise. If you don't have many resources, just put ten high-grade spirit stones on her egg every day, and then find her some high-grade rare treasures."

Ten high-grade spirit stones a day, that's nearly four thousand high-grade spirit stones a year, not including other rare and precious treasures needed for hatching.

The key point is that she has accumulated tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones and a small number of mid-grade spirit stones in the few months she has been in the cultivation world, but high-grade spirit stones are not easy to obtain.

Spirit stone mines are owned by someone else and are hard to find in the wild.

"Senior, I don't have a single high-grade spirit stone in my storage bag. If Yu Yu stays with me, she might not even hatch..."

"What? You're so poor! You don't even have high-grade spirit stones? I didn't even mention immortal stones."

The egg in her arms flew upwards for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, and then returned to Li Guang's arms.

Even though it was just the remnant consciousness of a phoenix, Li Guang felt mocked.

Returning immortal stones... it's not the immortal realm...

"That's right, I'm a rogue cultivator without any sect or school. I used to live in the mortal realm, and I've only been in the cultivation world for a few months."

I recommend two people to you: one is Su Muyan, the disciple of the Qingxuan Sect Master, and the other is Lu Jinghong, the offspring of a Nascent Soul cultivator from Yunzhou. They definitely have high-grade spirit stones, and their entire sects might even gather all their rare and precious treasures to help Yu Yu hatch.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know. You just don't want to raise Yu Yu. Once Yu Yu is in the hands of humans, it will have to sign a master-servant contract and become a sect's guardian beast. The more gifts it receives from humans, the more it will have to repay over a thousand years. It will only be freed when its master dies."

The egg in Li Guang's arms swayed restlessly, clearly not wanting to be bound by a human contract.

"Then please prepare the resources needed for Yu Yu to hatch, senior. I am powerless to do so anyway. I don't necessarily need to obtain the Merfolk's inheritance. Besides, I have a friend in the secret realm who has a way to enter the Merfolk's inheritance site."

Li Guang thought Shen Ci was too strange, so she used this Senior Huang Ling to test him.

"Thousands of years have passed. If I still possess rare and precious treasures, why hasn't Yu Yu hatched yet?"

"What? Senior doesn't even have high-grade spirit stones? You're a powerful cultivator in the Mahayana stage!"

Li Guang's surprised expression caused the phoenix to spew out several streams of flame.
