The little phoenix Lou Jiang finally hatched in the Immortal Realm, only to discover that he was the last phoenix left in the cultivation world. Without the nourishment of the Phoenix Clan's sacred grounds, the meager spiritual energy in the cultivation world was nowhere near enough for him to grow up.
To take human form as soon as possible, Lou Jiang found himself a heaven-sent meal ticket: Yin Cangye, whose fate was aligned with pure fire. But the sect elders were blind to Yin Cangye's talent, and he was constantly bullied. After Yin Cangye was framed by his fellow disciples yet again, and the elders punished him without even bothering to investigate, Lou Jiang set fire to the elder's magical weapon and beard, then left with Yin Cangye.
Lou Jiang told Yin Cangye that he was a divine beast sent to help him escape his predicament. In return, Yin Cangye had to give him his vital essence to eat so he could grow.
And so Lou Jiang accompanied Yin Cangye across the land, through winter and autumn. Yin Cangye was wonderfully easy to look after, growing stronger day by day until he could drive everyone off without Lou Jiang lifting a finger. Yet Yin Cangye still massaged him and smoothed his feathers every day. He not only gave him precious vital essence without a second thought, but even refined it into pills in all sorts of flavors that were easy to absorb. Lou Jiang got to feast on delicious treats without having to do a thing.
Just as Lou Jiang thought he was living a blissful life, he suddenly discovered that Yin Cangye was the great villain in the Phoenix Clan's prophecy, destined to bring calamity to the cultivation world. In the future, he would be ruthless, kill countless people, and hunt divine beasts every day, eating dragon liver and phoenix marrow without so much as blinking.
The only phoenix left in the cultivation world, Lou Jiang: Help! He's going to eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow!
