The female supporting character in the cultivation world only wants to grow flowers and become stron

Lin Yitang stared blankly at the scene before her, momentarily forgetting to breathe.

Her gaze was fixed on the beautiful bird hovering in the air, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Is this still the same spirit chicken she snatched from the chicken coop on Beast Taming Peak? How could it be! Its aura and its presence are on a completely different level.

Lin Yitang felt her heart was churning with a mix of emotions, as if she were in a dream.

Anyone who finds that their pet chicken has suddenly turned into a phoenix overnight would be caught off guard.

Lin Yitang took a deep breath and tentatively said to the little phoenix, "Um... little guy, do you remember me? Are you really the spirit chicken I used to raise?"

Was it switched out midway through?

Unexpectedly, the little phoenix seemed to understand her words, and let out a soft cry with a clear and melodious voice. Then it spread its wings and jumped onto Lin Yitang's hand, nuzzling her palm affectionately with its head.

It really is a clever chicken that I raised myself!

Lin Yitang was immediately excited, her heart pounding.

It's a phoenix! The spirit chicken she raised for so long turned out to be a phoenix!

However, amidst her excitement, a hint of doubt also lingered in her mind.

Why is Little Phoenix in the chicken coop on Beast Taming Peak? Didn't it escape from Ye Qiuli's clutches back then?

Lin Yitang tried hard to recall her experience at Beast Taming Peak, and gradually a bold guess formed in her mind.

She remembered that when she was catching the escaped spirit chickens, there were only two spirit chickens running around in the mountains and forests, but she ended up catching three.

That little spirit chicken was one of the three spirit chickens.

She initially thought it was a spirit chicken that had escaped from another chicken coop, but now she realizes it was clearly a little phoenix that had been caught and brought back.

Because all bird chicks look alike, no one realized that the pheasant chick was actually a phoenix chick.

Therefore, Lin Yitang stumbled upon this huge bargain!

At this moment, Lin Yitang also calmed down from her excitement, and looked at the spirit chicken with a complicated expression.

Now that she knows the spirit beast she obtained from Beast Taming Peak is a phoenix, what will she do with this little phoenix?

Although it was given to her by the Beast Taming Peak and the spirit beast belonged to her, it was, after all, a descendant of the guardian beast of the Taique Sect. Could the Taique Sect really give it to her so easily?

She thought it was impossible. Most likely, she would be made to return the phoenix to the sect, and then rewarded with something to replace the phoenix's value.

But she was unwilling to return it to the sect!

Having finally obtained Ye Qiuli's opportunity, should I return it just because it's a guardian beast of the mountain?

It's highly likely that the phoenix will end up in the female lead's hands again. That's how it is in the original story; the phoenix originally belonged to the sect, but was eventually brought over by True Monarch Yuheng.

By the way, the reason Yuheng was able to summon the phoenix was because he held a very high position as the Grand Elder!

If she had an equal backer, wouldn't she be able to stand on equal footing with Ye Qiuli?

There's another drawback to Little Phoenix being in her hands: once people find out about her, she'll definitely be targeted.

If she has powerful connections, then even if she is targeted, she certainly won't be taken away so easily.

And the solution to the problem is right in front of us.

She needs to decide which peak to go to in the next couple of days, as she has two personal disciples who have invited her!

After thinking it over, she decided not to return the phoenix to the sect.

If Ye Qiuli can get it, why can't she? She's a genius of the sect too!

Furthermore, having entered the inner sect and gained a powerful backer, she was no longer afraid of being controlled by the sect. An ordinary outer sect disciple would have had to return the guardian beast cub.

With this in mind, she decided to choose which peak to go to as soon as possible. After all, it was just the main peak and Thousand Peaks.

However, before that, she decided it would be better to form a contract with the little phoenix first. This way, she would have a better explanation when facing the sect and would be more confident.

She looked down at the little phoenix, who was also tilting its head and looking at her, its two golden eyes sparkling, looking incredibly cute.

Lin Yitang couldn't help but be charmed. She squatted down, gently stroked the little phoenix's soft, golden-red feathers, and said softly, "Little one, would you like to form a contract with me?"

The little phoenix chirped happily and nuzzled Lin Yitang's hand affectionately, indicating its agreement.

Lin Yitang was overjoyed and took out an ordinary spirit sword from her storage bag.

She made a cut on her palm, and a drop of essence blood containing spiritual energy immediately condensed out.

At the same time, her aura dropped slightly, and her spirit waned a bit, because essence blood is different from ordinary blood; it is the essence of the blood in the body, condensing the cultivator's essence, energy, and spirit.

At the same time, the little phoenix seemed to understand something. It raised its head and spat out a golden drop of blood essence.

Two drops of blood essence met in mid-air, instantly igniting a strange light. They intertwined, as if alive, forming a complex array pattern in the air.

The array pattern was golden, shimmering with light, and shaped like a phoenix spreading its wings, lifelike and exceptionally beautiful.

The contract formation then split into two smaller formations, which entered the space between Lin Yitang's and Little Phoenix's eyebrows respectively.

In this way, the contract is completed.

The instant the array was imprinted on her brow, Lin Yitang discovered an invisible and intangible channel connecting her and the little phoenix. This channel tightly bound her and the little phoenix together within her sea of ​​consciousness.

She could sense the little phoenix's emotions and even communicate with it through consciousness.

The little phoenix is ​​the same; it can sense Lin Yitang's joys and sorrows, and even share her cultivation and insights.

This is an equal contract, not a master-servant one. Under this contract, the two are interdependent and mutually supportive. They can train together, fight together, and share pain when injured.

In contrast, the master-servant contract is an unequal relationship. The master can arbitrarily command the servant, even depriving the servant of their freedom and life. The servant, on the other hand, can only obey the master's orders and has no will or choice of their own.

Master-servant contracts are also the first choice for many people who don't care about the feelings of spirit beasts and only want to control them. By signing a master-servant contract, one can keep the life of the spirit beast in their own hands and not worry about being betrayed.

Lin Yitang disliked master-servant contracts, but the little phoenix was someone she had watched grow up and was very attached to her.

At the same time, she suddenly felt a lightness all over her body, as if some shackles had been broken.

The next moment, a massive vortex of spiritual energy appeared above Lin Yitang's head, spinning wildly.

The spiritual energy came so suddenly that Lin Yitang was at a loss!

Her once calm dantian suddenly surged with spiritual energy, as a large amount of spiritual energy poured into her meridians from the outside, causing the spiritual energy cluster in her dantian to expand.
