For some time after, Chen Qing didn't step foot outside his doors, focusing solely on his secluded cultivation.
Within his courtyard, the carefully tended Golden Feathered Eagle Egg didn't make him wait for long.
Just a few days later, a faint CRACK came from the eggshell. A small, bald head struggled to poke through, letting out a weak but piercing CHIRP.
The newborn fledgling's eyes had yet to fully open. Its skin was a translucent pink, with barely any downy feathers to be seen, making it look both fragile and ugly.
Following the instructions in a manual, Chen Qing carefully mixed some fresh water with a crushed Bone Strengthening Pill and used a thin bamboo sliver to feed it to the chick, one drop at a time.
Sensing the scent of food, the fledgling instinctively stretched out its neck to eat.
Fueled by the Bone Strengthening Pill and its Essence of Qi and Blood, the fledgling's growth rate was nothing short of astonishing.
