Su Ping discusses the Dream Butterfly and the evolution of his Hundred Birds Wutong Tree with Liu Fuhai. They ascend to the top level of the Heart of Phoenix to see the tree. Liu Fuhai explains the 'Hundred Birds Facing Phoenix' phenomenon associated with the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree, where the tree gains an affinity with bird-type pet beasts based on the resources used during its breeding. Su Ping realizes this means his Legendary Level Phoenix hatchling could be used to enhance the tree's evolution, surprising Liu Fuhai.

Does Little Flame count as a Phoenix-type Pet Beast?

Su Ping thought, it should count.

Back then, Little Flame mentioned, what kind of beast was the Flame Venerable’s true form?

Ten Thousand Bird Faith! Flame Totem!

If the Pet Beast was merely a pure Flame Elemental, the preceding adjectives wouldn’t be necessary.

Moreover, when the Flame Venerable was resurrected, Su Ping witnessed it personally—the sacrifice through burning of ten thousand birds. What a grand scene that was.

If it didn’t possess the abilities of a Phoenix Bird, how could it command ten thousand birds?

Clearly, it doesn’t make sense.

Thus, under Liu Fuhai’s gaze as if he’d seen a ghost, Su Ping extended his hand, a ray of light appeared, and Little Flame materialized in his hand.

However, what caused Su Ping’s eye to twitch slightly was that Little Flame’s condition was somewhat...

Liu Fuhai silently watched, staring at the small flame in Su Ping’s palm that seemed like a flickering candle in the wind, and asked:

"Kid, is this the Legendary Level Phoenix Bird hatchling you mentioned?"

Liu Fuhai, prior to advancing to Breeding Master, truly didn’t know much about the Flame Venerable and Water Venerable.

Regarding the origin of this Little Flame, indeed, he wasn’t very knowledgeable. Naturally, he wouldn’t have thought that such an abstract flame was the renowned Flame Venerable’s Avatar.

Su Ping nodded, speechless while staring at the Little Flame in his hand.

Obviously, the little one was asleep again.

Su Ping could tell because in the Beast Taming Space, all the Flame Venerable’s Avatars had completely disappeared.

Initially, he thought, with the numerous Flame Venerable Avatars gained multiple times, it could even help Little Flame reach Monarch Level, or at least Monarch Intermediate Level. Judging by this meaning, it seems it barely broke through Monarch Level before almost exhausting its energy.

Since last time after Little Flame bred the Fire Seed, its growth pace indeed seemed to slow somewhat.

Liu Fuhai scratched his bald head, the thing before his eyes, how does that resemble a Phoenix-type Pet Beast?

However, witnessing Su Ping’s firm demeanor, he was too lazy to inquire further.

The Green Fire Phoenix feathers had been brought, worse comes to worse, they could be used later.

Su Ping took out the Breeding Method again for another review and checked the prepared corresponding resources with Old Liu, finally nodding in satisfaction.

"Alright, let’s begin!"

Su Ping was already impatient.

The breeding evolution of the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree is quite simple.

The first stage, the wood of the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree has been burned to meet the required standards.

From the perspective of breeding science, the bloodline of the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree inherently carries a latent Fire Element, forming the basis for visible attribute alteration once evolutionary conditions are met. At the same time, this places demanding requirements on the talent of the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree.

If the talent is insufficient, meaning the latent Fire Elemental Energy within is not enough to support this transformation and adaptation, it cannot evolve into the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree, an advanced evolutionary body.

Phoenix Perch.

On the surface, it’s quite simple and ordinary, but, Phoenixes are rare, as is being chosen by such creatures like the Phoenix beats.

The second stage is the construction of ’bird nests’ or rather, the Phoenix Nest.

This step tests resources.

The constructed ’bird nests’, naturally, must use the best resources.

Fortunately, the greatest difference between Phoenix Perch Parasol and Hundred Birds Wutong is, after Phoenix Perch Parasol evolves, ordinary birds are still attracted and nurtured; however, the top ’bird nest’ is the Phoenix’s sanctum.

One nest suffices, there’s no need for thoroughness.

And the third stage, the final stage, is to attract the ’Phoenix’ to rest within the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree.

At this stage, one can employ a genuine Phoenix-type Pet Beast or utilize the feathers of high-grade Phoenix-type Pet Beasts for summoning.

Subsequently, the evolution completes.

The steps for evolutionary breeding are straightforward.

But there are many rigid conditions, making it a favorite evolutionary body for breeders. Other than money and aptitude, most factors pose no problems, saving time and effort.

Compared to the Wanmu Wolf’s attention-consuming, lengthy breeding process, breeding Phoenix Perch Parasol is one of the most hassle-free methods Su Ping has encountered.

Of course, this was Su Ping’s thought after studying the breeding method. Once actually implementing it, Su Ping suddenly realized that some things appear not difficult, but actually are quite challenging.

For instance, constructing bird nests.

Phoenix is such a precious Pet Beast, requiring an Emperor Level Plant-based Pet Beast for support, not to mention the nest being extraordinary.

A full five hundred jin of Flowing Light Golden Grass Leaves needed to be interwoven and embedded on the branches of the Hundred Birds Wutong.

This is a genuine technical task.

It requires some craftsmanship foundation, along with sufficient patience.

Su Ping began from messily fumbling, unable to produce a suitable connection within two minutes, to handling the task rapidly, linking one in mere seconds.

The progress speed was quick indeed.

But still, five hundred jin of Flowing Light Golden Grass Leaves!

Each piece as thin as paper, imagine how many of them there were.

Even with Old Liu’s help, by the time Su Ping raised his head again, the sky had already darkened into a blanket of blackness.

The night sky’s crescent moon and cold stars shone, also surrounded by a circle of ’moon’ and ’sun’ atop the Heart of Phoenix’s peak.

These were the Laurel Tree and Fierce Sunflower, among other Plant-based Pet Beasts that provided simple light, assisting Su Ping’s efforts as much as possible.
