Dance of the Phoenix Episode 1

Life begins on Qianyuan Continent and the people are into cultivation. The Penglai Pavilion in the North and Celestial Palace in the South regard Junwu Academy in the capital as the leader. But the Darknight Court in the West is a deviant sect. 30 years ago, demonic beasts wreaked havoc on the continent. The most powerful cultivator, Mu Jiu Zhou, led all the sects to suppress them and set up a barrier. The Junwu Clan was then tasked to manage that barrier and protect the mortals. Lord Mu disappeared after the battle when he met with an accident in his ascend to immortality. At about the same time, Feng Wu was born and she was the second person to possess the phoenix blood after Lord Mu. 12 years later, she found a spirit ring in which Lord Mu’s spirit resided after failing to ascend to immortality. He became Feng Wu’s master but requested her to keep it a secret. Feng Wu’s cultivation skills invite a lot of jealousy. Zuo Qing Yun of the Celestial Palace ambushed her and removed her phoenix blood. She pushed her down a cliff to kill her. Feng Wu was saved by her master but lost her cultivation and memory. Her master gave her his phoenix blood to keep her alive but advised her to take the Spirit Restoration Pill made of the Celestial Fruit to regain her memory and restart her cultivation. Without her powers, her family banished her to the border. The barrier cracked while the star representing Lord Mu disappeared. 3 Years Later Feng Wu is peddling drugs in a border town. Jun Lin Yuan is the Crown Prince of the Junwu Clan. He is after the Celestial Fruit in the Frozen Forest which appears once every 60 years. His father hopes to get the fruit to increase his powers so that the demons could be kept in check. Lin Yuan is helped by Xuan Yi who is a fellow clan member and Feng Xun of Penglai Pavilion. They defeat the Darknight Court’s soldiers who are also after the fruit. Feng Wu finds out from Old Man Ba, a medicine man, where the Celestial Fruit is. But the Frozen Forest is full of demonic beasts. She decides to go to Yunlai Tavern to try to join a group of cultivators for her mission. Feng Wu and her servant, Qiu Ling, camouflaged themselves and arrive at the tavern. They interacted with Mu Yao and Qing Yun after a beggar is poisoned. Mu Yao has given him food that arrived at her table out of pity. Feng Wu uses her medical skills to cure the beggar but it is a method used by Lord Mu that arouses Qing Yun’s suspicion. Feng Wu cannot remember Qing Yun. She was also engaged to Lin Yuan in the past but the engagement was canceled after she lost her cultivation. The people from the Celestial Palace are there to help Lin Yuan to get the Celestial Fruit. The Firecloud Giant Hawk then makes an appearance. The people scatter. Mu Yao and Qing Yun try to fight it off. The hawk seems to be able to sense Feng Wu’s spirit ring in which her master resides. It shoots a cloud of fire at Feng Wu. Lin Yuan appears to knock the fire away. Feng Wu is mesmerized. (Source: DramaSlot)
