Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Beast Nurturing System
On the testing grounds, Xiao Hongchen and Xiao Li stood face to face.
Xiao Hongchen held a level three soul cannon while Xiao Li wore the level three pendant around her neck.
The level three shell was fired in a parabola towards Xiao Li. A flaming red dome appeared around Xiao Li blocking the shell. Although the light flickered slightly, Xiao Li wasn't affected by the explosion.
"The defense isn't as good as other level three defensive tools." Jing Hongchen observed.
"The Rising Phoenix Pendant can automatically trigger the defensive function. The strength of the shield depends on how much spirit power is stored in the pendant. The pendant is like the milk bottle. It can store spirit power by itself. Of course, the spirit master can also inject spirit power into it. I improved the defensive formation so the shield can withstand an attack from a level four soul guidance device."
Jing Hongchen's eyes lit up hearing the explanation. "Let's see the counterattack."
A red beam of light shot from the phoenix's mouth like a sword piercing through the sky. It quickly crossed a distance of thirty meters. The beam of light seemed like it could penetrate everything.
The light penetrated the target completely and came out the other side.
The next day, Xiao Li leaned against an Osmanthus tree, yawning. A small bronze furnace with plum blossom patterns sat in front of her. Wisps of medicinal essence rose from the furnace.
Small scarlet flowers had bloomed all over the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus's branches.
The flowers were flooding the branches, almost completely obscuring the leaves.
Occasionally, some of the flowers would fall. It resembled a rain of flowers and created the same ambiance of elegant beauty.
Originally just a regular osmanthus tree, Xiao Li refined countless pills and elixirs under the tree due to the beautiful scenery. Due to the countless medicinal essences, the osmanthus tree became a Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus.
Since ancient times, the osmanthus was one of the ten famous flowers. In addition, the petals of the osmanthus were high-grade medicinal ingredients and also food.
The Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus was truly a cardinal treasure and could be known as the classic and pure healing-type plant. The flowers that bloomed would number in thousands as they hung on the branches and were even more radiant than the clouds during sunset. It was such a being with a great auspicious aura.
Suddenly, the lid of the pill furnace opened and nine smooth round pills shot out. Before they could go far, Xiao Li's Divine Consciousness trapped them and guided them into a jade bottle.
"Here, the Nine Leaves Pearl Fruit Pill can not only treat injuries but it can also nurture one's divine consciousness." She dropped a pill into a bowl of spirit spring water. Then she poured the spring water onto the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus' roots.
Plant spirit beasts developed their spiritual intelligence slower than other spirit beasts. The spirit spring water with the Nine Leaves Pearl Fruit Pill would hopefully raise the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus' spiritual intelligence. She planned to make the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus one of her contracted beasts.
A small flame red sparrow had created a small nest on the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus. It was a Flame Sparrow, the first spirit beast that Xiao Li would contract.
In Xiao Li's palm was a fire crystal produced from a one-horned flame beast. The fire crystal could be used to improve a spirit beast's or spirit master's fire element.
The Flame Sparrow was unable to resist the temptation and flew down to Xiao Li's palm.
As the Flame Sparrow absorbed the fire crystal, Xiao Li moved her spiritual power and created a contract with the Flame Sparrow.
[Ding! Detecting a contracted spirit beast. The system has restarted. Welcome back host.]
Xiao Li perked up hearing the happy mechanical sound.
As a modern girl, Xiao Li was addicted to games where she could raise pets. The apps had the most adorable pets.
One day when she was on a bus traveling to her hometown, the bridge collapsed and she drowned.
The next thing she knew was that she was in her mother's stomach. Her mother was also absorbing a flame found from a meteor that landed on a plum tree during the transition between winter and spring.
After she was born, Xiao Li was found with an innate Red Plum Meteor Flame inside her body.
Xiao Li was given to Yao Chen, a Tier 9 alchemist, to learn alchemy.
The Red Plum Meteor Flame was able to use other beast flames and Heavenly Flames to refine itself and eventually became a Heavenly Flame itself. It had even surpassed the Emperor Flame due to its extremely high temperature.
However no one else knew that Xiao Li was the Red Plum Meteor Flame. She had taken over the body of the stillborn baby.
The Beast Nurturing System also bound itself to Xiao Li when she first brought back a small Black Water Snake to raise as a pet.
By raising all kinds of beasts, Xiao Li could obtain all kinds of rewards and points.
[Which function would the host like to unlock first?
I can choose?
[Because the host had already unlocked the functions before, the host is just limited by her new contract beasts.]
Xiao Li's thoughts moved and a transparent blue screen that was only visible to herself appeared in front of her.

Unlock the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree.
The Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree was a half-meter-tall small tree that looked elegant yet strange.
Its leaves were a pure golden color that was unlike as tacky as the color of metal. Instead, it was like the color emitted by the most dazzling sun in the afternoon.
Its trunk and branches were very plain brown, but this brown trunk had phoenix plume patterns.
The golden leaves on the branches of this small tree were in the shape of five claws.
This half-meter-tall small tree grew toward the south, and its branches and leaves ringed together like a golden bird's nest
There seemed to be a thin fur layer on the leaves that emitted a soft glow with a sense of holy beauty. The pattern on the trunk that was like phoenix plumes was absorbing the huge amount of energy from multiple beast flames. It was flowing with a dazzling golden glow, looking divine and extraordinary.
It could purify an avian beasts' bloodline. As long as the avian beast perched on the bird's nest made of the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree branches, the latter would slowly offer its body energy to them. It was very effective in stimulating the avian beast' bloodline.
The Flame Sparrow contained a trace of Phoenix blood. With a continuous supply of beast flames from the system mall, it could become a real Phoenix.
