"Gu Yuena, at the same time, I also plan to forge a weapon for Little Phoenix. That way, it'll be easier for him to fight. After all, the [Victorious Fighting Buddha] technique can also be used in conjunction with weapons.
"At the same time, collecting the flames of powerful beast clans—preferably from Soul Beasts with phoenix bloodlines—will make it easier for Little Phoenix to grow stronger. The beast clans in this world should have Beast Fire, too.
"If we collect it, it should prove quite useful."
Medicine Elder's words reminded Phoenix King of Xiao Yan. In the early stages—or rather, the very early stages—when Xiao Yan was still a Dou Zhe, he hadn't been able to obtain a Heavenly Flame, so he could only use Beast Fire.
He used it to raise the rank of the Flame Mantra.
The Soul Beasts in this world should have Beast Fire, too, but only those with fire attributes would possess it. And the Soul Beasts were too weak; even if he cultivated the Flame Mantra and absorbed their fire, it probably wouldn't help him break through by much.
In Phoenix King's view, there were no Heavenly Flames in this world, only Beast Fire and flames from Martial Souls. Absorbing them would at best bring the Flame Mantra to the low Yellow Tier. I mean, the mid Yellow Tier.
It probably couldn't even break through to the Earth Tier.
Whether this world even had Sixth-Rank Beast Fire was a question. After all, Sixth-Rank Beast Fire only raised the Flame Mantra from the low Yellow Tier to the mid Yellow Tier.
But the strongest people in this world were probably only around the Dou Wang level.
At most, they might have Fifth-tier Beast Fire. How could there possibly be Sixth-Rank Beast Fire? Its effects would surely be even worse.
"Teacher, isn't the Beast Fire in this world basically inferior to the flames of the Magical Beasts in your world? The Heavenly Flames in your world are creations of heaven and earth, and they can be incredibly powerful. But this world has none, and the flames of its Soul Beasts are even weaker than those of Magical Beasts.
"You said that yourself. So why not make artificial fire?"
"I do plan to make artificial fire. I plan to work on Beast Fire and artificial fire together. Then I'll forge you a suitable weapon, too, which will help strengthen you."
After Medicine Elder said this, Gu Yuena understood.
"I'll have Di Tian and the others start gathering powerful fire-attribute Soul Beasts. We'll ask them to willingly hand over their Beast Fire."
"It might be difficult to find fire-attribute Soul Beasts with phoenix bloodlines, though."
Gu Yuena said this.
"But that doesn't mean there aren't any. I'll send them to search for fire-attribute Soul Beasts with phoenix bloodlines and see if they can find some. If they can't, then we'll have to..."
"Let's try. Artificial flames will work, too. I'll see if I can make an artificial flame with power similar to that of a phoenix. That should help Little Phoenix grow stronger, since for now, most of his fighting ability comes from instinct.
"Besides, he's a Heavenly Demon Phoenix, with the bloodline of the legendary Ancient Heavenly Phoenix flowing through him. So the best Beast Fire to collect for him would be from a Soul Beast in your world with a phoenix bloodline. That would be ideal. If that doesn't work, I can make artificial fire.
"But I still think Beast Fire with a phoenix bloodline would be best. At least, it shouldn't cause anything... bad to happen."
"I understand," Gu Yuena said.
(Teacher! Gu Yuena! You're both so good to me. I'm truly grateful. I'll work hard to grow stronger. One day, I'll defeat all the gods in the Divine Realm and help you recover. But Teacher, your childhood sweetheart...)
"Bibi Dong, this is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. As long as you behave and bear children for our sect, we'll give you food and drink, and we won't mistreat you. Just focus on giving birth to geniuses.
"That'll count as making amends for killing Uncle Jian and Uncle Bone."
Ning Fengzhi said this, but in truth, even if Bibi Dong hadn't killed Sword and Bone Douluo in her previous life, Ning Fengzhi would still have done this.
Don't forget what kind of background the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's leader came from. He was born into a Soul Master noble family, and he was a businessman. They were part of the nobility themselves. How could they possibly care about humanitarianism? How could they talk about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness?
This was nothing but an excuse. Whether or not Bibi Dong had done it, once she was captured by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they would use her to bear children.
"Ning Fengzhi! You come from one of the Upper Three Sects. You're the leader of one of the Upper Three Sects that protects the continent, and you're actually doing something like this? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Bibi Dong! When you killed our sect's elders, did you ever consider our pain? I went gray overnight because of you! Let me tell you, do you really think you're such a good person? You ate at Spirit Hall's table, then smashed its bowl, and you think that makes you so righteous? You even wanted to wipe out the Angel Family. Without them, you'd have become a plaything for the nobles long ago."
Ning Fengzhi knew perfectly well he wasn't a good person. He had that much self-awareness. But he had to pretend to be one; only then could he attract more commoner Soul Masters to join.
Besides, he felt there was no point trying to reason with Bibi Dong. What kind of person was she? A self-righteous ingrate who had bitten the hand that fed her, smashing Spirit Hall's bowl after eating from it—and then she wanted to kill the Angel Family.
It was truly absurd. Without the Angel Family, Bibi Dong would have been nothing but a noble's plaything, a weapon.
Without the Angel Family's protection, how could Bibi Dong have become a genius? She might not even have become Spirit Hall's Saintess, let alone its Pope. She wouldn't have been able to take on disciples and enjoy the finest resources, either.
What a joke. Without the Angel Family, Bibi Dong would have been nothing.
At the same time, Ning Fengzhi mocked Spirit Hall and the Angel Family for letting someone like her turn the tables on them. It was unbelievable.
"You're lying!" Bibi Dong was simply a self-righteous girl who thought far too well of the world.
"No need for more talk. Uncle Bone, you have a top-tier Martial Soul—the Bone Dragon Martial Soul, one of the very best—and you also have spatial attributes and powerful defenses. If you and Bibi Dong were to couple, you might have a genius with Twin Martial Souls. Even if the child inherited only one of them, that would still be excellent. That way, we could produce a top-tier genius to protect the sect."
Gu Rong spoke plainly. After all, Bibi Dong had indeed killed him in his previous life. What he was doing to her in this life could be considered revenge for his death.
But the thought that she had already been used by someone else made him feel sick.
Still, he swallowed down his disgust and chose to act.
"You dare—! Aaaah!" Bibi Dong hadn't even finished speaking before her mouth was gagged.
