Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1623

Chapter 1623 Phoenix Ascendancy Plateau

"Fuck, that was fucking painful!" Yuan cursed out loud after taking off the Ancient Phoenix Robes.

He'd worn it out of curiosity and expected some pain, but he never anticipated it to be that painful. 'Even though it increased my fire resistance by an entire stage after wearing it for a few seconds, I don't want to experience that level of pain again… It's not worth it…' Yuan quickly put the Ancient Phoenix Robes back into Feng Yuxiang's spatial ring before retrieving another treasure.

'I need to mask my dragon scent first and foremost since I cannot undo my transformation, or everyone will know that I am a human.'

The item he retrieved was a small red pouch.

[Phoenix Powder]

[Description: Made from Phoenix Feathers. It has incredible healing properties and produces the scent of a Phoenix when mixed with water.]

'This is exactly what I am looking for. Since it's only made from feathers, I doubt it's too valuable to use,' Yuan smiled at this find.

Sometime later, Yuan filled a bottle with water and added the Phoenix Powder to it, creating a light red liquid that resembled blood diluted in water. The mixture emitted a unique scent that tingled his nose with each whiff.

"Yingzi, does this smell like a Phoenix to you?" Yuan asked her.

Yingzi took a deep breath and pondered for a moment before responding, "It's similar, but it's a little weak. I don't think it'll be able to mask your dragon scent, either."

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing Yingzi's criticism, Yuan added more Phoenix Powder to the liquid, intensifying the smell.

"That should be good enough," Yingzi said after taking another deep breath.

"Okay."

Yuan proceeded to rub the liquid all over his body until Yingzi could no longer smell the scent of dragons on him.

Not only did the liquid mask his Dragon scent and make him smell like a Phoenix, but he could also feel his body becoming more energetic.

'I should save the Burning Phoenix Pill for when I really need it since it only lasts for nine days…'

Now that Yuan had found a way to mask his Dragon scent, he needed to make his identity more convincing, a challenging task given that he wasn't originally from their world, and crafting a believable persona required careful attention to the cultural and social nuances of this new environment.

"Can you tell me what you know about Phoenixes in the Primal Expanse?" Yuan asked Yingzi as they continued their journey.

"Hmm…" Yingzi had to really think about it since she hadn't had much interaction with Phoenixes, given their rarity.

"I'm not too familiar with them, but from what I've heard, they're all incredibly selfish and unreasonably prideful creatures. They're arrogant, have bad tempers, and are generally unpleasant to be around if you're not a fellow Phoenix."

"..."

Yingzi's description of Phoenixes left Yuan speechless, but he didn't doubt it.
