Xu Ziyyan's hand trembled, almost dropping the phoenix meat into the bonfire. She could not sense any aura or pressure from the person, but she was not foolish enough to think that the person in front of her was an ordinary person; otherwise, she would have noticed him long before he approached her.

Her mouth felt dry, and she swallowed hard a couple of times before asking dryly, "Senior, do you need something?"

"Meat... very... fragrant!"

The scar-faced, one-armed man seemed to have not spoken for a long time, as he slowly uttered three words.

Xu Ziyyan hurriedly handed over the phoenix meat, and the man did not hesitate, grabbing it and chewing it vigorously. Seeing him enjoy the meat, Xu Ziyyan swallowed hard a couple of times, then carefully cut a small piece of phoenix meat with her sword and began to nibble on it.

Before she had even taken a few bites, the scar-faced, one-armed man had finished his meat, his face showing a look of unsatisfied desire. He looked at Xu Ziyyan with a somewhat embarrassed expression. Xu Ziyyan quickly said, "This is all for you. I'm full with this small piece."

The scar-faced, one-armed man nodded, showing his teeth in a smile, revealing a row of white teeth in the night, which made Xu Ziyyan's heart skip a beat. She hurriedly lowered her head to eat the meat in her hand, avoiding looking at the scar-faced, one-armed man.

After eating a few bites of the phoenix meat, Xu Ziyyan immediately felt a difference. The phoenix meat turned into threads of spiritual energy as soon as it entered her stomach, rushing into her meridians and circulating through the major cycle, entering her dantian. Xu Ziyyan felt that this spiritual energy was no less potent than the explosive spirit pills she had refined, and it was even several times stronger.

With her current cultivation, Xu Ziyyan immediately felt that she could not suppress this spiritual energy. She hastily put down the remaining phoenix meat and tried to suppress the spiritual energy in her body. However, the more she suppressed it, the more painful it became. But she did not dare to meditate in front of the scar-faced, one-armed man, so she endured the pain, her face almost contorted.

"Ah~~"

A light sigh came from the opposite side, and Xu Ziyyan felt the scar-faced, one-armed man floating over. Just as she was about to dodge, she felt a large hand pressing on her head. Immediately, a gentle force surged from her Baihui point, quickly entering her meridians and guiding the spiritual energy in her body into her dantian. Then the large hand left her head, and Xu Ziyyan heard the sound of chewing from the opposite side again.

At this point, Xu Ziyyan knew that the man had no intention of harming her, so she sat there and continued to cultivate, running through three major cycles, completely digesting the spiritual energy from the phoenix meat, before slowly opening her eyes. Her eyes showed joy and gratitude, as she realized that with the man's help, her cultivation had reached the peak of the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage, and she could enter the second level at any time.

"Thank you!" Xu Ziyyan said sincerely.

The scar-faced, one-armed man had already finished the phoenix meat on the bonfire and was now patting his stomach contentedly. Seeing Xu Ziyyan thank him, he gently shook his head and pointed to the phoenix meat that Xu Ziyyan had not finished, asking, "Do you want more?"

Xu Ziyyan's face turned red, and she awkwardly handed the meat to the scar-faced, one-armed man, saying, "I'm done. You can have it."

The scar-faced, one-armed man smiled at Xu Ziyyan, showing a mouth of white teeth. As Xu Ziyyan was thinking about how white his teeth were, she suddenly noticed a change in his expression. Following his shoulder, she saw a swordback tiger pouncing towards the scar-faced, one-armed man from behind.

Xu Ziyyan could already feel the pressure from the swordback tiger, and from the pressure, she knew she was no match for it. Her heart sank, and just as she was about to fly into the air with her sword, the scar-faced, one-armed man let out a cold "hmm" and flicked his finger, sending a fireball from his fingertip that struck the swordback tiger's forehead at lightning speed.

The fireball did not explode on the tiger's head but shot into its skull, then exploded with a "bang" in front of Xu Ziyyan's shocked eyes. The tiger's large head was blown into pieces, and the headless swordback tiger fell to the ground with a thud.

"This... such a small... fireball, has so much power?"

Xu Ziyyan trembled as she looked at the scar-faced, one-armed man, her eyes showing a hint of fear.

After killing the swordback tiger with a flick of his finger, the scar-faced, one-armed man did not even turn his head and continued to eat the phoenix meat in his hand.

The valley suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of the scar-faced, one-armed man chewing. Xu Ziyyan sat nervously across from him, carefully watching him, her heart trembling with each chew.

At this moment, Xu Ziyyan was filled with awe and respect for the scar-faced, one-armed man. Not only had he casually killed a powerful swordback tiger with a flick of his finger, but even the way he ate the phoenix meat left her in shock.

She could barely handle a few bites, but the scar-faced, one-armed man ate the entire large piece without any reaction.

He ate very quickly, finishing the last bite of phoenix meat, and with a lingering taste, he looked at Xu Ziyyan and said awkwardly, "Girl, do you have more of this meat?"

"No!" Xu Ziyyan shook her head quickly.

How could Xu Ziyyan tell him she had more phoenix meat? Now that she knew the benefits of phoenix meat for cultivation, and considering that the entire phoenix was a treasure, if he knew she had a complete phoenix corpse and decided to take it by force, she would be killed, which would be a tragic end.

Seeing his somewhat disbelieving gaze, Xu Ziyyan quickly took off her storage bag from her waist and dumped everything inside onto the ground. At this moment, she no longer cared about the spirit pills she had refined, as they were nothing compared to the treasures inside the Kunpeng's heart. Her heart pounded, and she nervously thought, "He can't tell about the Kunpeng's heart, can he?"

The scar-faced, one-armed man's gaze swept over the ground, seemingly uninterested in the spirit pills. His gaze quickly scanned Xu Ziyyan, making her feel as if she were being cut by a blade.

Just as Xu Ziyyan was on edge, the scar-faced, one-armed man withdrew his gaze, his eyes showing a hint of disappointment, and then he asked with some curiosity, "Where did you get the meat you ate?"

Xu Ziyyan's heart skipped a beat. Could he tell it was phoenix meat? What should she do?

"Is this phoenix meat?"

Before Xu Ziyyan could think of an excuse, the scar-faced, one-armed man's words almost made her fall to the ground in shock...
