Chapter 1195: A Crisp Phoenix Cry (Part 1)

The current Gu Qiaoqiao is not the Gu Qiaoqiao of the past; she has already learned a lot about the things in the Mystic Sect. Dongfang Yu and Xiaowen belong to the same kind of people.

And she herself has abilities.

The Spiritual Energy in her fingers can perform whatever she wishes to do.

It can heal wounds, dispel illness, improve emotions, and bring health to the body...

However, Gu Qiaoqiao knows that the ability in her hands can’t regenerate severed limbs. She doesn’t have that skill yet; perhaps the ancestors of the Gu Family could achieve that.

Moreover, such things sound quite incredible no matter how one listens to it.

Upon hearing Gu Qiaoqiao’s words, Xiao Wen hurriedly stepped forward and covered Gu Qiaoqiao’s mouth, lowering her voice, "Qiaoqiao, don’t speak carelessly about this before it’s concluded; don’t tell anyone."

Gu Qiaoqiao removed Xiao Wen’s hand from her mouth, equally lowering her voice, "Wasn’t I just very shocked just now? It’s only you and me in this courtyard, and no one else is here. Besides, I won’t tell anyone."

Only then did Xiao Wen nod in relief, a slight embarrassment flashing on her face, "Hehe, actually, it was just a whim; this matter has never been used on ordinary people, but wearing it brings only benefits, no harm."

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this; I’ll try to see if I can place this bead inside." Gu Qiaoqiao ended the discussion.

Then Gu Qiaoqiao picked up the White Jade Bead that was on the table.

She once again gestured at the Red Phoenix’s red mouth. Placing it directly like this was certainly impossible.

Clearly, this was placed inside after carving.

Gu Qiaoqiao had never done such a thing before, but she felt she could try.

She thought for a moment, then said to Xiao Wen, "Close the window, and make sure the door is shut as well."

Xiao Wen stood up and shut the window, then also closed the door, knowing Gu Qiaoqiao was concerned that if any unusual phenomenon occurred when the bead was placed, it might alarm the people in the neighboring courtyard.

Disturbing the neighbors would be manageable, but the fear was alarming those who shouldn’t be alarmed.

That would be really troublesome.

After everything was set, Xiao Wen returned to Gu Qiaoqiao’s side, watching her nervously, "How is it? Can you put it in?"

Qiaoqiao whispered, "I’ll try..."

Gu Qiaoqiao held the bead in her hand and slowly directed the Spiritual Energy from her fingers into it.

The bead was originally white, but under the influence of the Spiritual Energy, it suddenly emitted a faint seven-colored rainbow light.

Perhaps because it was night, the light was particularly clear to see, and the eyes of the two were wide open, not uttering a word.

Gu Qiaoqiao knew to place the bead inside the Red Phoenix’s mouth, it was not simply about adding Spiritual Energy to the bead; the same needed to be done for the Red Phoenix’s mouth.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand was placed once again over the Red Phoenix’s mouth.

As expected of a mystical item, the mouth of this Red Phoenix was carved so realistically, slightly open, as if it could let out a crisp chirp at any moment.

Then the fingers of Gu Qiaoqiao’s right hand began to seep a thin stream of Spiritual Energy, and this Spiritual Energy flowed from her fingertips towards the Red Phoenix’s mouth.

Originally thinking this Spiritual Energy might vanish, surprisingly, it began swirling above the Red Phoenix’s beak.

While Spiritual Energy is typically colorless, for some reason, at this moment, against the red jade backdrop, the Spiritual Energy from Gu Qiaoqiao’s fingers appeared mist-like.

It gradually enveloped the Red Phoenix quietly, mostly swirling around its beak.

Gu Qiaoqiao had never tried this before, and Xiao Wen was seeing it for the first time, uncertain what would happen next.

So the two of them seemed to hold their breath.

Every step Gu Qiaoqiao took was with utmost caution, worried any mistake might ruin the Red Phoenix.

That would truly be disastrous.

This item, preserved by an ordinary person for decades, would be shameful if destroyed so easily in their hands.

So this time, Gu Qiaoqiao was exceptionally careful and cautious.

With no prior experience, she had to rely on instinct.

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao felt that continuing to release Spiritual Energy was crucial.

Therefore, Gu Qiaoqiao’s right hand remained above the Red Phoenix, while the other hand still held the White Jade Bead.

Time passed slowly.

No one should know what these two were doing in the courtyard.

Thus, no one came to disturb them, and the courtyard was very quiet.

Gu Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen’s room was equally tranquil, so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing and the thumping of their hearts.

With heart following intention, Gu Qiaoqiao knew the time had come. She furrowed her brow for a moment, and in a flash, her left hand moved towards the Red Phoenix’s mouth. Then, to Xiao Wen’s astonishment, the White Jade Bead, originally much larger than the gap of the bird’s mouth, was easily placed inside the Red Phoenix’s mouth within a few breaths.

Then the two widened their eyes and stared intently at the Red Phoenix carved from blood jade before them.

The Red Phoenix’s mouth originally had a small gap.

But at the moment the much larger White Jade Bead was placed inside, this bird’s mouth seemed to slightly open wider, as if when Gu Qiaoqiao brought the bead near, it immediately opened its mouth to hold it.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Then, a subtle change came over the air, as if transforming into water, and Gu Qiaoqiao clearly felt the room being enveloped as if isolated by a Barrier.

In other words, the room had just been completely sealed off from the outside world. The next moment, without any preparation, they clearly heard a magnificent cry from the Red Phoenix’s mouth.

The sound was exceptionally beautiful and clear, like two pieces of exquisite jade clinking together with a melodic sound.

However, the sound was incredibly distant, as if a call from ancient times, stirring the heart, yet making it seem as if wings might spread and soar into the nine heavens in the next instant.

The magical level was beyond the two people’s imagination.

Xiao Wen stared fixedly at the Red Phoenix, eager to touch it with her hand, but knew not to move recklessly.

But Xiao Wen’s body maintained its previous posture, unmoving, while Gu Qiaoqiao exhaled a long breath...
