Chapter 394: 394
Xue Wei's entire focus was on the Luan egg in his hands . He infused Qi and Spiritual Energy into it, for the sake of helping it hatch .
The egg was trembling, thunder rumbled, and other elements were raging around the egg .
Although the bird was weak, it was still controlling a large number of elemental affinities .
The first crack appeared on the shell, and soon it started lifting slightly . A beak could be seen in the gap, the beak was orange, with a golden line that ran from the top to the bottom .
A weak cry came out from the beak, and it continued to push its way through the shell . The beak slowly began consuming the egg's shell, which was full of nutrients .
The Luan birds of the others were stronger and bigger than the one Xue Wei held in his hands, but while the others, apart from Hei Gou's, were blue, and Hei Gou's feathers were blue with some dark shadows around the edges .
But Xue Wei's bird was rainbow-colored . The feathers resembled a rainbow, and they looked amazingly beautiful . The light glistened onto the feathers; it was simply like looking like such a beautiful bird .
The bird was weak, and Xue Wei instantly took out a lot of resources from his storage treasure . He began grinding the herbs into a paste, adding the juices of some spiritual fruits, and made a liquid that he gently poured down the throat of the luan bird .
The luan bird was having half-closed eyes and was slowly consuming the liquid that Xue Wei had prepared for it .
Xue Wei was not too worried now . The bird had already survived, so he was sure that he could nurture the bird back to health .
As long as it survived until it was hatched, he would use all his resources to feed it .
The Luan Birds were ancient beasts . Although they were stronger than Primordial Beasts, their intelligence was still that of a beast . They were unable to take on human form, and they were only beneath the Sovereign Beasts .
Every beast within the Ascended's Realm was ancient beasts . They originated from worlds out of theirs, and they were immune to the Sovereign Beast suppression .
They were the perfect supporters, and as birds, they connected to the first living being they saw .
These birds saw their owners first, and their hearts were thrown onto them . They recognized the energy that they had been given, alongside the first impression, and the connection had been created .
They were all busy spending their time with the hatchlings; the small luan birds were adorable and powerful . Seeing how Xue Wei was feeding it's luan bird varying resources, the others were enlightened .
They quickly understood what resources could be used . They should use the elemental affinity resources, or Qi or spiritual energy enhancing items .
The birds were feasting on the hard-earned resources that they had found throughout the time inside the Ascended's Realm .
Xue Wei took out a storage treasure and tossed it to Wang Xiaoyun . Previously, when they were together with the other two groups, Xue Wei could not have given her a lot of items, as others would feel greedy and kill her for her treasures .
They all knew this, but now that it was merely Xue Wei and his companions that were present, he had no scruples and handed her a lot of items .
None of his friends cared about these resources . They knew how many resources they had scoured at the Thunder Twilight Zone, and here in the Ascended's Realm .
They had so many resources that even if they wanted to use them all, they had enough for many years, and many of the resources were not useful to them as they were a bit too weak .
Even if they used them, the result would be miniscule, and thus the best usage of them was to feed the Luan birds and allow them to become stronger .
Xue Wei handed a storage treasure filled with resources that were ideal for the Luan birds to Wang Xiaoyun, and she gratefully accepted it . She did not say thank you; neither did she stand on ceremony . She had recognized Xue Wei as her partner, and thus she was not going to pretend in front of him .
Seeing her accepting it readily like this, he felt very pleased and happy . The others also thought it was natural . They had already accepted Wang Xiaoyun as their sister-in-law .
Xue Wei put his focus back onto the rainbow-colored Luan bird in his hands, and he felt how the lifeforce within was getting stronger and stronger .
The body was also growing at a visible speed; the luster in the feathers also became brighter and brighter .
A chirp escaped the beak of the luan bird as it stopped consuming more of the liquid and nudged itself against the hand, settling itself in his palm, and fell asleep .
While Xue Wei's bird fell asleep, the others began to play with their elements . Some of them practiced creating illusions, creating cracking lightning and thunder, and Hei Gou's bird began hiding in the shadows . Only Xue Wei's was trying to sleep in an attempt to convert the energy into life force and inner strength .
Xue Wei observed his rainbow-colored luan bird, and finally, a smile erupted on his lips . The gamble had paid off . Although it would be more expensive to raise this bird, as it needed more resources than the others, and that the speed of advancing was slower, Xue Wei saw it as an investment .
The bird had much sturdier foundations than any of the siblings, and at the same time, it commanded more elements than the others . It would become the strongest of them all if it had time to grow .
