The sudden turn of events stunned both Fang Qingyu and Fang Shi. Spurred by the pain, Fang Shi quickly came to his senses and extinguished the flames on his body. Even though he reacted swiftly, most of his clothes were burned away, and his skin was scorched red. If not for his strong constitution, a part of him would have been charred to a crisp.
Lin Xuan was also shocked. He wasn't shocked by the Phoenix itself, but by its astonishing Cultivation. The statues he had summoned in the past had always been at the same level as his own Cultivation. He never expected to summon a Phoenix at the First Layer of the Essence Pill Stage this time. If not for some slight discrepancies in the Elemental Power emanating from its flickering flames, he would have truly believed it was a Phoenix reborn.
