Mobilize Everyone

The family behind Shui Duanliu is none other than the Shui Clan of Tianshui City. The current City Lord of Tianshui City, Shui Jiangliu, is actually Shui Duanliu's cousin.

Shui Duanliu and his cousin have a very good relationship, but back then, he didn't want to be the Young City Lord, so he found an excuse to slip away. He had been out training and cultivating for all those years, and ever since Brother Feng, who had saved his life, passed away, he had come here to repay that debt of gratitude.

Shui Duanliu still held affection for the Shui Clan, so he naturally knew the importance of a Spirit Bone to the family. However, considering the family's strength, even if they could catch a phoenix, they would likely miss the Young Clan Master's optimal cultivation window.

After a brief calculation, Shui Duanliu spoke up, "To capture a phoenix for the Young Clan Master, the more people, the better, of course."

"Rest assured, Clan Master." Shui Duanliu patted his chest, guaranteeing, "This news will spread throughout Spirit City today, and reach Star Luo and Heaven Dou within three days."

"Hmm." Seeing Shui Duanliu's upright attitude, Feng Qingluan said, "Go make the arrangements. If your Shui Clan can capture a phoenix, you may bring it at any time. The Spirit Bone will be yours."

"Many thanks, Clan Master." Shui Duanliu bowed deeply before turning to walk away.

Having accepted the task from the Clan Master, he needed to complete it as quickly as possible.

After arranging the tasks for his subordinate, Feng Qingluan prepared to go see his grandson's cultivation. However, before he could even arrive, he suddenly received a message from his eldest brother.

"Another meeting?" Feng Qingluan muttered, turning toward the Consecration Hall.

He wouldn't have minded in the past, but now, Feng Qingluan found meetings truly boring!

In just two days, the news that the Third Consecrator of Spirit Hall was willing to trade a Spirit Bone for a phoenix had spread throughout Spirit City and the two great empires.

Upon hearing this news, countless powerhouses went wild.

A Spirit Bone!

Even Title Douluo did not necessarily possess a Spirit Bone, yet now, one could trade a phoenix at Spirit Hall to the Third Consecrator to obtain one.

Regardless of their actual strength, countless people were eager to try their luck.

As for the requirement to trade a phoenix Spirit Beast?

So what!

Never mind a phoenix; even a True Dragon wouldn't necessarily drop a Spirit Bone.

Those who made a living by hunting began their search, as did those powerhouses who wanted to use a Spirit Bone to improve themselves or their descendants.

Even the Lower Four Sects, the Four Elements Academies, and reclusive experts began to mobilize.

Although some doubted the authenticity of the matter, the credibility of Spirit Hall during this period was still worth trusting.

After all, no one dared to stir up trouble in the name of the Third Consecrator of Spirit Hall, so many were willing to give it a try.

Spirit Hall.

"Trading a Spirit Bone for a phoenix—what a grand gesture!" Bibi Dong sneered as she listened to the news from outside. "That Third Consecrator is truly doting on his grandson!"

Listening to the reports, Bibi Dong understood that the Third Consecrator was searching for a Spirit Ring for his grandson.

She made no judgment on the Third Consecrator's actions, but it reminded her of another possessor of an external spirit.

If Xiaogang had someone who cared for him like that back then, he might not have been stuck at level twenty-nine! Bibi Dong thought of Yu Xiaogang, and the hatred in her heart for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan deepened.

"Detestable Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!" Bibi Dong's eyes burned with hatred. "One day, I will kill you all!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo watched Bibi Dong's reaction without the slightest change in their expressions.

They were long since accustomed to the Pope's intermittent fits of madness.

The two merely exchanged a simple look, and Ghost Douluo knew exactly what Chrysanthemum Douluo was thinking.

A Spirit Bone—I want one so badly!

As a dignified level ninety-five Title Douluo who had done so much dirty and exhausting work for Spirit Hall, he didn't even have a single Spirit Bone.

Seven Treasure City.

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone." Ning Fengzhi, who was holding his daughter, looked toward the two great elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and asked, "What do you make of this?"

"I heard the Third Consecrator of Spirit Hall's grandson had his spirit awakened last year." Bone Douluo said without hesitation. "So much time has passed, yet no one has leaked what his spirit is or his innate spirit power level, and now he is searching the world for a phoenix. Tsk tsk~"

"Either he is such a genius that he looks down on any Spirit Ring other than a phoenix," Bone Douluo chuckled, "or he is such a waste that he needs the power of a phoenix to purify and evolve his spirit."

"Nonsense." Sword Douluo listened to Gu Rong's words and gave him a brief evaluation.

"You old geezer." Bone Douluo retorted, "Why don't you share your own opinion?"

"Boring." Sword Douluo said indifferently, "The Third Consecrator values this grandson so much that the child will become his weakness."

"And what if he is a weakness?" Bone Douluo curled his lip. "Do you think there are many people in this world who would dare to threaten the Third Consecrator of Spirit Hall using that child?"

As he spoke, he looked down at Ning Rongrong in Ning Fengzhi's arms and added, "Just like our Rongrong—if anyone dared to hurt her, wouldn't they be afraid of being hacked into mincemeat?"

"Alright, Uncle Bone, Uncle Sword." Ning Fengzhi looked at the two and asked, "How do you think we should respond?"

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo spoke in unison: "Wait and see."

They did not need to oppose Spirit Hall, nor did they need to curry favor with them. Since that was the case, they would simply act as if they knew nothing.

Blue Lightning Academy.

"A Spirit Bone?" After receiving the news, a glimmer of light flashed through Liu Erlong's eyes. "If Xiaogang possessed a Spirit Bone, he might just be able to break through to level thirty! If I were to personally deliver a Spirit Bone to him, he would surely be very happy, wouldn't he?"

Upon hearing about the Spirit Bone, Liu Erlong thought of Yu Xiaogang immediately. Without a moment's hesitation, she headed straight toward the Sunset Forest.

Dugu Family.

"A Spirit Bone?"

Dugu Bo shook his head helplessly. "If this were in the past, this old man might have tried to get involved. But now is the critical time for my breakthrough to level 90, so I'd better forget about it."

Divine Wind Academy.

"A Spirit Bone!"

Upon hearing the news, Feng Xiaotian said with an excited expression, "Father, I want a Spirit Bone."

"Be a good boy, son; we can't afford it." Feng Qing listened to his son and said with a helpless look, "Phoenix-type spirit beasts are rare and impossible to seek out. Where are we supposed to find one?"

Although they shared the surname Feng, they had absolutely no connection to the Third Elder of Spirit Hall. They weren't even related if you traced their lineage back ten generations.

"No, Father, I want it." Feng Xiaotian pleaded, "If I give Huo Wu a Spirit Bone, she will definitely agree to be my girlfriend!"

Feng Qing: ...

This son is beyond saving!

If it weren't for your innate full spirit power, I would have thrown you out already!

Blazing Academy.

"Is the Young Mistress still searching for a Phoenix?" Yan, who had been heavily cultivated since joining the academy, felt a sense of gloom in his eyes upon hearing the news. "I am truly useless; I cannot solve the Young Mistress's troubles."

"Yan." Huo Wu looked at Yan and asked, "Are you also thinking about the Phoenix? My father said that such things come with both opportunity and risk, and they intend to give it a try. If we can truly obtain a Spirit Bone, our Blazing Academy will be able to reach a higher level."

"It's useless; the gap is too large." Yan shook his head and said, "Classmate Huo Wu, please stay away from me. I need to begin my cultivation."

Huo Wu: ...

Tianshui City.

"A Phoenix?" Shui Bing'er, who was preparing for her awakening, looked at her father curiously. "Father, is a Phoenix a very powerful spirit beast?"

"Yes, extremely powerful!" Shui Jiangliu ruffled his daughter's hair and said, "Among flying-type beast spirits, the Phoenix is considered the most formidable existence!"

"Really?" Shui Bing'er cheered. "Father, I want to awaken a Phoenix spirit!"

"Alright, let's awaken a Phoenix spirit." Shui Jiangliu said, "Bing'er, step into the hexagram array."

"Mm."

Shui Bing'er walked in obediently, letting her father complete the awakening ceremony for her.

Soon, Shui Bing'er's awakening ceremony was finished.

Shui Bing'er, Spirit: Ice Phoenix.

Innate Spirit Power: Level Nine.

"This..."

Shui Jiangliu stared at his daughter's spirit, dumbfounded. This actually worked?
