The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 118: A Person of the Demonic Path

The depths of the cave were unexpectedly filled with precious Phoenix Embryos.

Phoenix Embryos.

As the name implies, these were eggs laid by the phoenix. A phoenix only lays eggs once every thousand years, and when it does, it produces a great quantity.

The embryos piled up in this cave had been frozen here for a millennium.

Although called "Phoenix Embryos," they wouldn't produce life until they were combined with sacred water.

Long ago, when the pureblood phoenix reigned supreme over Luantai, it would use Phoenix Embryos as rewards for its kin.

The Phoenix Embryo is the most sacred item among the phoenix race. If a mortal consumes it, they can acquire a phoenix's bloodline, enhancing their physical abilities. Its effects are comparable to the Dragon Blood Pill.

However, mortals consuming Phoenix Embryos would also suffer side effects. For instance, the former city lord of Feidu, Liang Tingmian, consumed a Phoenix Embryo, which left him mentally unstable and ultimately led to his death at the hands of a tiger demon.

After the phoenix was imprisoned, Luantai continued using Phoenix Embryos to reward its people.

When members of the phoenix clan consume Phoenix Embryos, it purifies their bloodline without causing the negative effects that occur in humans.

The little chick shook its head and looked steadily at Yan Jue and Qi Xianqing.

All my things are yours!

Yan Jue's eyes widened as she laughed. "You're this generous?"

For a divine phoenix to offer Phoenix Embryos to them was largely a consequence of the phoenix clan's own failings. Yan Jue felt no burden accepting them.

In a way, the world of cultivation is a ruthless place.

There are many opportunities; if one comes your way, you should accept it graciously.

If anyone else saw these Phoenix Embryos, they'd take them without a second thought.

Thus, the two selected a few of the best-shaped embryos from the frozen Phoenix Embryos and stored them in their qiankun pouches.

Yan Jue turned and glanced at the little phoenix, murmuring a word of thanks.

As they exited the cave, the sky had fully darkened.

Above them stretched a magnificent, deep purple night sky, veiled in mist, dotted with countless stars.

The phoenix clan in Luantai was likely in disarray, too busy to notice them. Now was the best time to leave.

After walking a few steps, the little phoenix suddenly flapped its wings and flew into Qi Xianqing's arms, wanting to follow her.

Yan Jue was slightly troubled. She had taken the Phoenix Embryos without hesitation, but this little phoenix...

Qi Xianqing looked down at the phoenix chick in her arms. "No. You're the guardian beast of this place."

She then pinched the back of the little phoenix's neck and tossed it aside.

The little phoenix turned back, glaring at them with displeasure.

As they walked a few steps farther, Yan Jue suddenly felt a weight on her waist.

The phoenix had stubbornly latched onto her, covering her in feathers.

"Chirp chirp chirp..." The little phoenix looked up at Qi Xianqing and Yan Jue, its tiny eyes glistening with unshed tears.
