The little ones quickly gathered around. He divided the Spirit Nurturing Pills among Jin'er, Black Phoenix, the Elk Beasts, and the others, telling them to take the pills to improve their cultivation. He gave Jin'er and Black Phoenix ten extra bottles each.
Jin'er had always helped him care for the spirit plants and Spirit Herbs, working tirelessly without complaint. Shi Yue had always felt a little indebted to her.
Black Phoenix was a branch of the Fire Phoenix lineage, and the Fire Phoenixes and Qingluans together formed the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Now that he knew he carried the Qingluan Bloodline, he inexplicably felt much closer to Black Phoenix, too.
"Master, where did you get so many Spirit Nurturing Pills? With these, I'll be able to reach the middle stage of Spirit Transformation in no time," Black Phoenix said with a smile.
"Your mistress refined them. Her alchemy skills are better than mine. You all need to cultivate diligently, especially you, Shi Feng. Understood?" Shi Yue's tone was stern.
Black Phoenix nodded. She suddenly seemed to remember something and hesitated, as if she had something difficult to say.
"What is it? Speak up. There's no one else here."
"Master, are you a member of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan? I sense some kind of power within you. It makes me feel close to you, but also a little afraid, as if you could suppress me."
Black Phoenix had inherited only some of the Fire Phoenix's divine abilities. The Demon Race placed great importance on bloodline power. A demon with a pure bloodline could easily intimidate its kind.
When Shi Yue had attempted to reach the Void Refining Stage, he had manifested the Qingluan Dharma Image. His bloodline was far purer than Black Phoenix's, so it was only natural that she feared him.
