    Deng Chanyu used the pretext of feeling unwell to stay in her room for seven days.

    Dividing oneself is not like a sparrow; it's not that delicate.

    Eggs can be eaten, and if Deng Chanyu chews and grinds meat into a paste, it can also be swallowed whole.

    After a week of quiet recovery.

    completely disappeared, leaving her stripped bare, a silhouette resembling a young sparrow.

    Her newly grown hair is snow white, her eye-pupils are translucent, her red beak is sharp and cute, and the feathers on her tail are conical in shape, colorful, and full of elegance and mystery. This state marks her official entry into the【Chick】 stage.

    She appeared slightly bigger in size and more attractive in appearance, but internally, Deng Chanyu was full of worry. Her replica was very weak, indeed very weak.

    Heaven does not allow the Phoenix tribe to emerge. Whenever the Phoenix tribe uses their innate abilities to undergo rebirth, they will encounter the rules of heaven.

    Death, metamorphosis, suppression, re-death, re-metamorphosis, re-suppression, and so on. According to the rules of heaven.

    Running into Deng Chanyu was an accident. It can be considered as the "Taoist one-way" that Teng Chanyou advocates, although in this case, even though the unnamed Phoenix tribe has lost everything through countless failed rebirth, including its name, past, and consciousness.

    The situation of the replica is extremely dire, with its life level dropping sharply and plummeting to the lowest point. Now, relying on Deng Chanyu's spiritual energy, she has reclaimed the acceptance of the Dao in the form of her replica and has been reborn from the ashes, but this rebirth has once again consumed the already scarce life essence.

    The replica needs the essence of the Phoenix tribe, needs top-grade spiritual materials, needs the Tiandiyangguo flag, needs a flame environment, and requires many, many things to recover to its original state.

    These things, even for Deng Chanyou, might be difficult to obtain. Perhaps even the King of Zhou might find it hard to acquire.

    She opens the door and strides to the treasure vault of Deng family.

    As the southernmost overlord, the Deng family, which suppresses the Marquis of Nanbo and the two hundred vassal lords in the south with a strong pass, must certainly have some wealth in reserve.

    There's no need for it now. When should it be used?

    Deng Chanyu's mother died early, and now there is only a yellow concubine managing all the affairs in the mansion.

    She has a good relationship with her mother-in-law, and when she said she wanted to take a stroll around the treasure room, the other didn't hesitate before agreeing.

    The treasure room of the Deng family is filled with treasures such as armor and swords, but the top-grade spiritual materials that she can use are few and far between. Eventually, she only chooses a small jade plate, a broken gem, and fifteen bamboo-like plants.

    Back in her room, she was once again facing a headache.

    Previously, she had been the one to chew the food and then feed it to the replica.

    How can she chew the jade plate and broken gem now?

    Chewing bamboo is also strange, as she's not a panda.

    After several trials between the replica and the main body, she found that by controlling the replica to lie on the jade plate like hatching chicks, it could slowly absorb the spiritual essence within. Once the spiritual energy is depleted, the jade plate would lose its original luster and mystique.

    This method is also effective for the gemstone, but the bamboo's internal spiritual energy is relatively low, and its external absorption efficiency is low. It is best to consume it and then absorb it through the digestive system.

    There's not much to say, let's chew on it.

    When Deng Chanyu started to chew on the bamboo, she realized that her body had become stronger again.

    The expected mouth bleeding did not occur, and the seemingly hard bamboo was easily chewed to pieces without much effort.

    Now her teeth are exceptionally strong.

    ......

    "Donglun Yumu!" Deng Chanyu shouted in front of the forest that was being attacked by wild beasts.

    The beasts that were driven back by her before, such as wild wolves, leopards, black bears, and more, surged out in a great crowd once again.

    The other side saw it and was surprised, "You! Horrific Standing Ape!"

    No more words, fight!

    The quality of spiritual materials in the Sealing of the Gods era is far inferior to the times of Yuan Feng and the ancestors of the dragon. The Deng family has power and influence, but they haven't reached a point where they can control everything, having whatever they want.

    The replica had been weak and sickly, and Deng Chanyou had been pondering whether the spiritual energy she had released during combat could accelerate the replica's recovery. Spiritual fire was also a type of fire, a high-quality fire, and considering that she also remembered the treasures buried in the forest, according to a more "Hongxia" theory, these treasures were clearly destined for her. "Heaven gives without taking will lead to suffering," she immediately returned.

    She came without soldiers, alone, with a knife in her left hand and a handful of thrown stones in her right, slaughtering the beasts among them at will.

    She slaughtered them all day, and the next day, she came back again.

    "Your mother's!"

    Deng Chanyou's original weapons were dual knives and thrown stones, but now as her replica grows bigger day by day, Deng Chanyou's physical fitness as the host also gains comprehensive enhancements. The soft, single-hand knife is somewhat ineffective now, and can only be used casually. "Chirp, chirp," she killed for another day, and the ground was covered with a mixture of blood and flesh in the forest. The nearby river was also dyed red.

    "Damn your mother!"

    After killing for two days consecutively, on the third day, she noticed that the number of beasts had significantly decreased. She only killed until noon that day, and no beasts dared to provoke her anymore.

    The treasures in the forest were easily found by her. They were not top-level spiritual materials, nor were they the infamous Black Lotus that destroys worlds, but very ordinary two red fruits, blooming once every hundred years and bearing fruit once every hundred years. They were round and bright red, with no other special features.

    By the time of the Three Heroes and Two Clouds of the Shushan Swordsman, the red fruits might be a rare item. However, in today's era, they are not particularly valuable.

    Deng Chanyou waited for more than ten days, and as soon as the red fruits ripened, she ate one on the spot. The replica was important, so the host couldn't be ignored either.

    Hot!

    The energy within the red fruit surged into her heart and then flowed throughout her entire body.

    She felt a mass of fire burning beneath her skin, with the bones, muscles, and meridians infused with powerful energy. An endless supply of vitality began a deep-level transformation.

    The power of the red fruit was used up nearly three- tenths, and the remaining seven-tenths were stored in her body. If she finds a way to cultivate in the future, she can guide it out for use; if she can't find a way, these energies can also add years to her life.

    She planned to bring the remaining red fruit back to give it to her replica.

    She left the roots and stems of the red fruit untouched, as she couldn't afford to wait another two hundred years. This place would be left for the next person with good fortune.

    "Chirp, chirp –" A golden eagle hovered above her head, then quickly landed, leaving a multicolored stone behind. Without the dust settling, it flew up into the sky with great vigilance.

    This golden eagle was the same one that had attacked her earlier and torn a large piece of flesh from her back.

    Initially, she wanted to kill it directly, but the replica didn't have great abilities like "Eternal Rain of Fire" or "Five-Color Divine Light." The ability to intimidate birds and understand bird language was something the replica possessed, as well as some low-end versions of such abilities for Deng Chanyou herself.

    She could hear the eagle's plea for mercy. After it agreed to provide her with some five-color stones, she agreed to the deal.

    At this moment, she carefully examined the new stone. It was the size of a basketball, much larger than the ones she had found on the riverbed, and its five-colored light was even more radiant.

    "Where did you find this?" she asked with gestures.

    The golden eagle stood on the tree, stretched out one of its wings to point in a direction.

    Deng Chanyou looked at the direction indicated by the golden eagle, then at the river where she found the stones before. Connecting these two points, following this line could extend all the way to a series of mountains stretching far into the horizon. She couldn't help but ponder, originally thinking that five-color stones were just some glowing rocks, but now it seemed that things were not so simple. Entangled causes and effects, was there even more hidden secrets within the depths of those mountains?
