Sixty kilometers west of Cangzhou lies Mount Lingshuang, home to the Azure Birds. Resembling doves yet crowned crimson with long tails, they dance with wings like trailing clouds.
These sacred attendants of Queen Mother of the West possess blood that tempers Divine Weapon and revives the dead.
Yet being spiritual beings, they dwell only on sacred peaks, perch solely on snow-phoenix trees, feed exclusively on pine nuts, and drink only crystalline springs.
To summon them, one must gather Cangzhou's Four Treasures:
First: Frost White Paulownia.
Second: Millennial Frozen Stone.
Third: Snowbound Pine Nuts.
Fourth: Subterranean Coldspring.
