Hatching a Mythical Beast Ancestor

In the martial arts world where aura is respected and talent determines destiny, the sixteen-year-old Lu Ran is recognized by the Lu family as "a body with leakage from the sky". His Dantian is like a broken sieve and cannot contain any aura. He is exiled to the woodshed and works with the handymen, and is looked down upon and trampled on by his clan members. Once while collecting firewood, he pulled out a gray-black, cold, twisted, strange egg from the rocks at the bottom of the cliff. This "stone" with no spiritual energy fluctuations became the only warm sustenance and secret in his cold life. When family strife and outside prying eyes press closer, in a desperate night, the gray egg bursts prematurely. What was born was not an auspicious spiritual bird, but a weak, strange chick with red-gold eyes and a faint flame burning on its forehead. It recognizes him as its only dependence, burns strong enemies with its nascent power, and frightens away monsters. At this point, Lu Ran's life has completely deviated from the normal track - while others use Qi to temper their bodies and strive for breakthroughs, his strength comes from this fragile and warm creature in his arms. The young bird feeds back the pure energy gained from devouring the strange berries, healing the pain, enhancing the five senses, and bringing unprecedented vitality. However, this gift has a hidden price tag. Every time he fed him back, he not only strengthened his body, but also left inhuman marks on him: his vision and hearing were as sharp as those of beasts, golden down feather patterns occasionally appeared on the back of his hands, and the blood oozing from wounds was as pale as gold and red. From a pure "trash", he is slipping into an "alien" that is not tolerated by the world. The greedy pursuit of the family guardian, the ruthless killing of the children of the same clan, and the bloodthirsty coveting of the monsters in the forest are all caused by this inconspicuous chick. He and the little beast depended on each other on the way to escape, protecting each other in every desperate situation, and the symbiotic bond became increasingly stronger.
