"On the surface, your magic power has risen to level thirty. But in reality, this is not the greatest benefit you've gained this time. The Vermilion Bird used its own phoenix feathers as needles to forge a special armor for you, which can be referred to as inner armor. This armor merges completely with your skin; when your power is sufficient, it would manifest its due brilliance. Additionally, this inner armor would grow alongside your body, always fitting perfectly with your persona. Each phoenix feather of the Vermilion Bird carries a bit of its marrow. Just to forge this inner armor, the Vermilion Bird has suffered a great loss of vitality. However, in front of you, she has not shown it. But without hundreds of years, she will not be able to recover her vitality."
Little Ji Dong was listening blankly to Flame's story, "How could this possibly happen? I've taken such advantage of the Vermilion Bird. I just wanted to help her."
