Chapter 8 A Different Fire Phoenix
Sunset Forest is very close to Tiandou City.
More than half an hour later, the carriage Lin Rong was riding in returned to the gate of the Duke's Mansion.
When Lin Rong got off the carriage, a guard in front of the door came up and reported:
"Your Excellency, the child named Ma Hongjun, the child who awakened the Fire Phoenix Spirit, arrived at the house one day ago and settled in safely."
Lin Rong listened to the guard's report, his expression did not change much, he just gave instructions casually:
"Invite this person over, and I will meet him in the living room of the main house."
"Yes!"
……
In the center of the manor, in the living room of the main house.
Ma Hongjun looked curiously at the man of similar age in front of him and thought:
"Is this the Duke that uncle calls me? Why are you a little kid like me?"
"Could it be that the Duke is actually the old man next to him, and this child about my age is his grandson?"
At the main seat, Lin Rong looked at the fat little fat man in front of him with the same curiosity, thinking in her heart:
"Not as fat as described in the novel. After all, he is only six years old, and he is untouched, and his eyes are extremely innocent. He is not the hooked phoenix in the novel."
"Yes, it is a good embryo. As long as it is polished carefully, it can be forged into a peerless weapon for my use. It will not be in vain for all my efforts."
Seeing that Ma Hongjun was reluctant to speak, Lin Rong took the lead and asked:
"How's it going? The awakened martial soul has accompanying soul power. Are you happy?"
"Yeah!" Ma Hongjun nodded wildly after hearing this.
"The village chief grandpa said that if you awaken your soul power, you can become a big shot like a soul master and live a prosperous life."
"It is precisely because I have awakened my soul power that my uncle treats me well and eats good food that I have never seen before."
"The uncle you are talking about is a captain of the guards in my house. Do you like him very much?" Lin Rong's eyes flashed when he heard this.
"Yeah! Uncle is very good to me!" Ma Hongjun replied without hesitation.
Lin Rong was very satisfied with this answer.
A six-year-old child who leaves his hometown can easily become dependent on the people he spends day and night with.
No, in more than two months of getting along with him, Ma Hongjun developed a deep dependence on the guard in his house.
"Since you like Captain Xu so much, he will be your personal bodyguard from now on."
Ma Hongjun was so dependent on the guard that Lin Rong didn't mind pushing him along.
"Captain Xu is a soul king. Before you grow up, let him protect your safety."
The guards were loyal to Lin Rong, and the more Ma Hongjun relied on the guards, the easier it was for him to develop loyalty to Lin Rong under the guards' words and deeds.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Rong sensed through life perception that the soul beasts he had prepared for Ma Hongjun had been sent to the courtyard.
Ma Hongjun's fire phoenix spirit was mutated, and the phoenix flame was so impure that it produced evil fire.
However, the cockscomb phoenix sunflower, which can greatly purify the phoenix flame, still grows in the eyes of Binghuo Liangyi.
However, there is a poison array set up by Dugu Bo outside the Ice and Fire Eyes. Although Lin Rong's "Life Dragon Soul", an exclusive effect of the Vine Dragon Domain, can convert poison into vitality, he only has one level of cultivation after all.
The poison array laid out by a titled Douluo was not something Lin Rong could contend with now.
What's more, each immortal medicinal herb requires special picking methods and preservation methods. Apart from Tang San, probably only the Po Zhi clan and Juhuaguan know about these records.
As for telling Dugu Bo how to detoxify in exchange for the Ice and Fire Eyes, that would be equivalent to handing over his life to an old monster who is both good and evil and murderous.
Lin Rong did this because he thought he had lived too long. He did not believe that because he was a time traveler, he must be the protagonist, so he must have the aura of the protagonist, and he would commit suicide at every turn. It is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself. If you are planning to do something about Ice and Fire Eyes, you have to take your time.
Since cockscomb, phoenix and sunflower will not be available for a while.
Then he could only let Ma Hongjun absorb the soul ring of the soul beast with Phoenix bloodline, and purify the Phoenix flame by absorbing the Phoenix bloodline.
As early as two years ago, Lin Rong ordered the old housekeeper to send people to capture alive a bird soul beast that was about four hundred years old and had Phoenix bloodline.
In two years, a total of five bird soul beasts that met the requirements were captured.
Not to mention, the bird soul beast with Phoenix bloodline is so beautiful in appearance, it is quite eye-catching when kept in the garden.
And these five bird soul beasts with Phoenix bloodline are:
Red-tailed Kite, four hundred and twelve years old.
Green Feather Bird, four hundred and fifteen years old.
White-browed Falcon, four hundred and seventeen years old.
The five-colored pheasant has a life span of four hundred and twenty-one years.

The Ice Flame Sculpture has a lifespan of four hundred and twenty-three years.
Among them, the five-color pheasant has the strongest phoenix bloodline, and its age is also close to the so-called limit year of the first soul ring, which is four hundred and twenty-three years.
The so-called pheasant is also a pheasant.
Ma Hongjun's martial spirit was originally a mutation of the chicken martial spirit, so the five-color pheasant is the most suitable spirit beast among the five bird spirit beasts to be Ma Hongjun's first spirit ring.
Of course, the remaining four will not be wasted. Lin Rong will instruct the cook to make these four soul beasts, together with the five-color pheasant that Ma Hongjun will kill later, into delicious dishes for Ma Hongjun to eat.
Although it is not as direct as absorbing the soul ring, it can still have some effect on purifying the starting point of the Phoenix flame.
In this way, these five soul beasts can be regarded as making the best use of their resources.
Lin Rong asked someone to hand Ma Hongjun a sharp knife and said to Ma Hongjun:
"Go ahead, that five-colored pheasant has been knocked unconscious. Kill it and absorb its soul ring. You will be a true soul master."
Ma Hongjun's innate soul power is level nine, and it has been more than two months since he awakened his martial soul.
As early as a month ago, Ma Hongjun had broken through to the tenth level of soul power by practicing the meditation method taught to him by the guards, and he could not wait to obtain the soul ring.
So, Ma Hongjun obediently took the sharp blade, and under the guidance of others, he hit the vital part of the five-color pheasant.
Ma Hongjun looked at the dark yellow soul ring condensed above the five-color pheasant, and a desire from his heart suddenly appeared, as if urging him to absorb the soul ring quickly.
"Release your martial soul to pull the soul ring, then sit cross-legged, guarding the martial soul, and absorb the power of refining the soul ring through meditation."
When such a voice came to his ears, Ma Hongjun no longer hesitated and followed the instructions.
The life of the five-colored pheasant is four hundred and twenty-one years.
In the original work, Tang San had the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and it took a lot of effort to absorb a mandala snake soul ring that was nearly four hundred years old.
Ma Hongjun did not have the Xuantian Skill, and the years he had spent absorbing the soul ring were more than twenty years longer. The process of absorbing the soul ring was naturally more difficult.
However, Lin Rong was not worried that Ma Hongjun would explode and die. After all, the five-color pheasant was very compatible with Ma Hongjun's Fire Phoenix Spirit.
Moreover, after more than two months of dietary supplements, Ma Hongjun's body strength could withstand the impact of the soul ring's power.
At most, the process of absorbing the soul ring is a little painful, but it can also sharpen Ma Hongjun's character.
Seeing the painful expression on Ma Hongjun's face when he absorbed the soul ring, Lin Rong thought to himself:
"Only through hard work can one become a qualified sharp blade, Ma Hongjun, please don't let me down!"
