The closer he was to the Fire Phoenix Tree, the faster its shot!
Yi Tianyun knew that the tree would be dead soon, as its spiritual energy was drained from constantly attacking.
"Stop! I am not here to cause any harm! I saw a small phoenix crystal outside and it piqued my curiosity, that's all!" Yi Tianyun shouted to the tree, but the tree continues to shoot him with the flame leaf.
"Stop! Look at the little phoenix over there! It was clear that it had malnutrition! At this rate, it will die soon!" Yi Tianyun shouted again, trying to reason with the tree.
After hearing Yi Tianyun's word, the tree stopped attacking for a while but attacked again hesitantly not long after.
"Hear me out, I will make an oath to protect it as long as I can! I will never hurt it, and I will treat it right! I can even send it to any phoenix nest you want!" Yi Tianyun said sincerely.
Many cultivators thought of a Divine Beast as a treasure, that could be seen with the dragon from the Netherworld Empire, the Dragon Soldiers were one of the highest ranked military group in that empire!
This applied to phoenix as well, there was no way the Netherworld Empire would disregard any phoenix if they ever found any phoenix, they would immediately send many representatives to try to get the phoenix for themselves!
At the same time, the Fire Phoenix Tree stopped attacking and seemed to calm down after hearing Yi Tianyun's oath, an oath was a sacred thing, so it knew that Yi Tianyun wouldn't be able to break the oath!
Yi Tianyun also knew that he had to take the oath right away to appease the Fire Phoenix Tree.
"I, Yi Tianyun, will do my best to protect the little phoenix and find a way to send it home. Otherwise, I would be condemned!" Yi Tianyun said sincerely.
Suddenly the sky turned dark, and a divine rune immediately fell towards Yi Tianyun, signing the oath has been made! This meant that Yi Tianyun wouldn't be able to do anything that went against his oath, and he must finish it in order to be relieved from this oath.
After the oath has been made, Yi Tianyun approached the Fire Phoenix Tree, and as he thought, it didn't attack anymore!
Once he was under the tree, the Fire Phoenix Tree began to sway again, making the leaf fall on Yi Tianyun, but this time, the fire on the leaves was different, it was soothing in a way, and the flame itself turned into Immortal Flame's Mastery Point!
'Successfully received 500 Immortal Flame Mastery Points, 789 Immortal Flame Mastery Points, …'
The mastery of the Immortal Flames increased rapidly!
Along with the falling leaves, a phantom shadow emerged beside the tree condensing itself to be a huge phoenix, instead of a human.
"You are different than any other human I have seen so far! I have entrusted my remaining phoenix fire inside your body so that you can use it in the future. The stronger your cultivation is, the more it could help you out!" The phoenix said towards Yi Tianyun exhaustedly.
"What did you need me to do?" Yi Tianyun asked sincerely.
"Please help me send Yan'er back to the Phoenix Nest, after you send her back, our Phoenix Clan will reward you fairly!" The phoenix said solemnly.
Once again, Yi Tianyun received a bunch of Immortal Flame Mastery Points received, he knew that the Immortal Flame would be upgraded soon!
'DING'
'Congratulation on leveling up the Immortal Flame to Middle Grade Earth Level!'
'Flame Power increases three times, Blacksmith and Pill refining success rate increased!'
'Next Level requires 500.000 Mastery.'

With this, he was quite sure that he could increase the quality of the items he crafted or refined!
