My SSS-Rank Skill and System is too OP in Modern Cultivation world-Chapter 145: Using The True Phoenix Blood on Auri.

—

She narrowed eyes. "Caretaker sprite? What are those? Where did you get them? Are you lying to me? It sounds fake to me. Let me go inside your new power. I want to see my beast."

"Totally real. It's not fake. There are few of them. Don't worry. Soon, I will find a way to feed them." He replied with a panicked voice. He was scared Nima would cause who knows what types of chaos if Kent let her roam around with Fifty beasts.

Her glare lingered… then a tiny laugh slipped. "You're hopeless, big brother. Fine. I'll visit them later. But you better feed them gourmet food. I want them to be healthy. Otherwise how will they fight for me?"

"Of course, I will give them Five‑star room service," he promised to Nima, tapping chest solemnly.

To divert further queries, he produced a fresh jumbo pouch of honey‑glazed chips from inventory (purchased weeks ago; kept for emergencies). "Peace offering."

Nima snatched it, ripped its sleeve, and devoured the first handful with a growl of approval. "Truce accepted… for now."

Kent also meets with his friends. Ethan and Mia. Inside the ruin they didn't get a chance to meet. Outside Kent sees his friend are okay. He was happy seeing them. Then Kent eats some physique enhancement fruits from the system and some recovery pills. After some time he was all better. Most of his injuries were gone. He chatted with them for a while.

An hour later, a convoy of Watchers came with a supply truck rumbled down the mountain track. Survivors filed students, watchers, Yang Li in a command jeep. Kent and Nima snagged window seats in the back of the jeep. Fatty Li squeezed beside them, he was hugging an IV bag of glucose.

As the coach descended serpentine roads, Kent felt tension ebb. The sun dipped toward late afternoon, turning pine ridges gold.

Nima dozed, head on his shoulder, chip bag empty in lap. Auri nested in her hair. The Azure Ruin campsite area slowly vanished beyond cliffs; the ordeal became a memory to cherish.

A few hours later, city towers speared the horizon, crystal‑steel spires of New Qilin Metropolis shining neon. The convoy rolled into a secured provincial branch of the Watcher Bureau. Floodlights bathed reinforced gates; drones buzzed overhead.

Inside the plaza, an announcement board displayed casualty stats. Sobs, cheers, exhausted laughter mingled. Kent guided groggy Nima to a registration kiosk, where biometric tablets logged survivors. Kent wanted to go to a hotel but Yan LI brought them to a watcher Bureau.

There they take a bath. Then .. A lieutenant handed them a Ruin Clearance Compensation, an envelope standard stipend for all young ones, inside was 3000 dollars and a meal voucher. Kent pocketed it, amused how mundane bureaucracy felt. Then they eat until their belly is about to burst.

Suddenly, Yang Li emerged from a side wing, now clad in crisp white uniform, medals glinting. He clasped Kent's forearm. "I've filed commendation Tier III on your names. Headquarters will process within a month. You will be officially a tier-3 Watcher." His voice lowered. "Did you say some good words for me?" Should I talk to her?"

Kent nodded, heart pounding at mention of becoming an official. "I… I am a government official now? What's my salary? Each month, How many spiritual stones will I get?"

Yang Li offered a rare smile. "For now, rest. You will know everything on your appointment letter. I have to go, a bureaucratic mountain is waiting for me."

The moment Yang Li left… The siblings slipped away from the watcher office. Thirty minutes later, Kent booked a discreet twin bed room in Jade‑Lantern Boutique Hotel, a mid‑range high‑rise with private vitality baths. Using the three thousand dollars, he bribed the desk clerk and told him not to disturb them even if it's the end of the world. They need a good sleep.

Room 1207 smelled of fresh flowers and orange blossom diffuser. Two futons, a teak desk, and a glass balcony overlooking neon canals.

As soon as they entered the room, Nima's face‑planted onto the bed. "Good night, big brother." Auri perched atop the mini fridge, blinking.

Kent locked the door, drew curtains, and dimmed lights until only moonlight spilled across the curtains.

"Time to use phoenix blood." Kent murdered.

He summoned the vial. The liquid glowed, painting gold arcs on walls. Auri cocked head, instinct humming.

"Ready, buddy?" Kent whispered. The bird chirped, extending the injured wing. Bandages already looked looser thanks to ruin‑field vitality, but bones still mended.

Kent uncorked the blood vial and a spicy cinnamon flame like scent filled the room. He tipped one drop onto Auri's beak. It vanished in a spark. The bird's eyes flared solar white, feathers rustling. He continued with a second drop, then third, until four drops were absorbed. Unsure how much a palm‑sized bird could handle, but continue. Soon all ten drops of true phenix blood was absorbed by Auri.

Auri trembled. Tiny silhouette glowed from within; veins lit molten orange. Feathers smoked but did not burn. A whoosh of hot wind surged; neon adverts outside flickered as ambient energy bent inward.

Kent's system bleeped:

[Ding! System notifications: Assimilation in progress… 5 %… 10 %... … …]

Auri's tail plumes elongated, tips blazing scarlet. Wing membranes thickened; wound closed with crackling spark. At 10 % assimilation the glow dimmed; the bird wobbled but stayed conscious.

System finalised:

[Species: Emberling Sparrow → Emberling Phoenix‑Spark Fledgling (Bloodline purity 10%).

Cultivation: E‑rank → D‑rank (early).

Inborn skill unlocked: Ash‑Flight Rebirth (auto‑trigger revival)]

Auri squeaked, a musical trill that echoed deeper than before and flapped once. A halo of sparks spiralled, then extinguished harmlessly in the room. He pulled a face towel, wiped sweat, and offered water. Auri drank greedily, then nuzzled his knuckle, utterly radiant.

"Congrats, Auri," Kent murmured. "You just levelled up your cultivation and unlocked your true potential."

CHIRP! "Yeah, I level up. I am stronger now. I feel something has changed inside me. If I meet those robbers again… I can beat the shit out of them."

Kent pat Auri for a while. Then both of them fall asleep. Next morning, the Sun filtered through paper screens. Kent was woken up by Nima. She was shaking his shoulder. Her eyes were bright, cheeks flushed from eleven hours of rest.

"Breakfast!" she yelled. Then she looked at Auri, who was sleeping under the blanket, plumage now sunset red. "Why's he glowing?" Nima asked.

Kent coughed, "Auri just levelled up."

She sniffed, "After we eat, beast‑tour. You promised."

Kent became pale thinking, "I still haven't tested if I can take a human inside my void domain or not." Then he changed the topic saying, "Uh, Last night I was told today the hotel kitchen will hold an open buffet, let's not waste any time! Otherwise good food will be eaten by others."

Nima didn't press on about meeting the beast. She immediately pulled Kent out of the bed. "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up big brother. I am very hungry."

Kent quickly gets himself ready. Then they leave the room. After going downstairs they immediately went to the buffet and started eating rice porridge, pork buns, mango pudding, ice cream, and many more. Auri only drank cold drinks and juice. After eating they went back to the room.

Back upstairs, "Time for treasure tally." She dumped all the loot from her bracelet across the bed, spirit stones, chipped jade tokens, ruined‑era bronze prayer wheels, a meter‑long serpent scale, many broken spiritual tools, some small statues and something that looked suspiciously like a cursed box.

Auri added his loot, mini starlight orbs, a silver coin engraved with triple moons, and several moss‑wrapped crystal clumps. Many more old and half broken stuff.

Nima leaned forward, arms akimbo. "So, big brother. Step one: Sell everything here. Step two: Buy me a big house. Step three: I will raise my beast there. What do you think? Isn't it a good plan? If I raise my beast on my own land then the government can't do anything right?"

Kent was shocked by her statement, he replied, "Nima, you can't raise your beast without government permission. It's not about the land or place. They won't let someone raise fifty beasts. Even if we got permission… After you get in the school you can't take care of the beasts. I will let you play with them soon. Once we get back home. Just be patient. We will keep the useful things from this pile of treasure and sell the rest of them."

"Alright big brother, I will wait until we go back home. But How much can I get for my treasures? I want to buy snacks with all the money." Nima asked.

Kent replied, "I don't know. We have to find it by going to a treasure shop. But I can ask Ethan to help us sell everything. I will contact him later. First let's find out what's item are useful..."
