Medicine Elder's Persuasion, After Growing Up

"Di Tian, I know what you are thinking. You want Little Phoenix and Gu Yuena to unite and give birth to something akin to a Dragon-Phoenix. I understand your reasoning; after all, having a beast clan with formidable bloodlines on your side would certainly accelerate the pace of overthrowing the God Realm.

I can understand your position. You have been suppressed by the God Realm for many years, and you were once a god-level powerhouse yourself. But the problem is that because of the God Realm, you fell from that level, and the beast clan has been suppressed and prevented from ascending to godhood. If this continues, soul beasts will eventually go extinct. I understand that.

However, the issue is that Little Phoenix is currently only a three-year-old child. You must at least wait until my disciple has grown up—wait until he is at least eighteen before discussing this."

Medicine Elder directly exposed the thoughts of Di Tian and the others. They hoped to see a child born from the union of a Phoenix and a Dragon, believing it would help them accelerate their efforts to overthrow the God Realm. Medicine Elder also believed that if the bloodline of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix were to fuse with the bloodline of the dragons in the Douluo world, it would likely produce an excellent lineage.

Medicine Elder acknowledged this point; after all, with the foundation of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline, it certainly wouldn't be inferior.

However, what the old man did not say was that, in his view, the dragons of the Douluo world were truly too pathetic—they couldn't even compare to the Void Ancient Dragons, nor even to the half-breed magical beasts that possessed Void Ancient Dragon blood.

He was not joking.

This was the most accurate assessment in Medicine Elder's eyes, as he had interacted with the Silver Dragon King and understood her true strength: at most, she was a Dou Zong.

She simply lacked the strength to reach the Dou Zun level.

In Medicine Elder's world, a Heavenly Demon Phoenix could certainly reach the Dou Zun level if they cultivated diligently.

Even without diligent cultivation, they could easily reach the Dou Zun level—or rather, the level of a God King.

Therefore, in Medicine Elder's view, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline was definitely stronger than that of the Douluo world's dragons. After all, the Douluo dragons were truly lackluster; the Dragon God was at most a half-step Dou Zun or a quasi-Dou Zun.

Thus, Medicine Elder believed that if the Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline were to combine with the Douluo dragon bloodline, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline would surely hold the advantage, and any child born would likely be dominated by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix lineage.

He kept these thoughts to himself, however, because to Di Tian and the other dragons, dragon power was the most noble. Being told that there was a race more noble than the dragons—the descendants of the Phoenix clan from another world—would be quite heartbreaking.

Furthermore, Medicine Elder could see that Di Tian and the others were eager to cultivate an excellent child with a superior bloodline, but the problem was that Little Phoenix was only three years old!

Little Phoenix had not yet come of age; he was still a three-year-old child, a child who hadn't grown up, a child whose mind hadn't fully matured—no, his mind should have matured by now!

But the point remained that Little Phoenix was not an adult; he was still a child. In Medicine Elder's view, such behavior was somewhat immoral.

Therefore, waiting until Little Phoenix grew up—at least until he was eighteen—was the best choice for him to have children with Gu Yuena.

"But, Master Medicine Elder, we are the beast clan; our thinking is different from yours. Besides, this matter is actually to the advantage of the Phoenix King's matriarch... Mmph..."

Before Di Tian could finish his sentence, Medicine Elder covered his mouth. Medicine Elder still hoped to let Little Phoenix grow up healthily and did not want him exposed to knowledge he shouldn't be dealing with at this stage.

In Medicine Elder's view, although Little Phoenix was somewhat mature in his thinking, he was still a child at heart, and his actions leaned toward those of a child. Therefore, he believed it was best not to let Little Phoenix come into contact with unnecessary knowledge at this phase.

Lake of Life.

"Matriarch!"

Little Phoenix, Medicine Elder, and Di Tian emerged from the room where Little Phoenix had been cultivating and arrived outside, in the core area of the Lake of Life.

"Medicine Elder, I want to eat medicinal pills. Can you refine some more for me?"

The Auspicious Beast walked over. Ever since Medicine Elder arrived, it had become obsessed with the pills and loved eating them, so it hoped Medicine Elder would refine some for it often.

"Rest assured. You are the Auspicious Beast representing the fortune of the soul beasts, and you are the one with the greatest potential here. I will naturally give you the best pills," Medicine Elder said. Just then, a silver-haired, purple-eyed beauty appeared. This person was Gu Yuena, the heroine of the third installment of the Douluo Dalu series, Legend of the Dragon King.

It was Little Phoenix's first time seeing Gu Yuena in human form, and he had to admit she was truly beautiful—exceptionally so. It was no wonder she was hailed as the most beautiful woman in the Douluo world; even when she became the Goddess of Life, she remained the most beautiful type.

It was a pity, however, that Gu Yuena had one flaw: she was a romantic fool, and her intelligence was truly questionable.

At the time when she had victory in her grasp and could have ruled the entire Douluo world, she had chosen to sacrifice it all for her lover... It was truly absurd.

"Little Phoenix!" Upon seeing him, Gu Yuena walked over and hugged him.

"Grow up quickly, okay? When you do, big sister will give birth to some chubby little dragons for you."

Gu Yuena said this, but Medicine Elder, standing nearby, didn't know what to say. Medicine Elder was still in the process of recovering, while Gu Yuena had almost regained her full strength, with a cultivation level at least at the Dou Zun level. The problem, however, was that her combat ability was worse than that of an average Dou Zun.

After all, the cultivation techniques and battle skills of the Dou Qi Continent did not exist in the Douluo world. Gu Yuena's combat techniques and abilities were all inherited from the Dragon God.

Medicine Elder did not know the Dragon God's overall combat level, but the fact that he could be divided by a group of Dou Zongs suggested that he was at most a quasi-Dou Zun or a half-step Dou Zun, still within the range of a Dou Zong.

Medicine Elder was curious, though: what kind of existence was the Golden Dragon King? If the Silver Dragon King represented elements and spiritual power, did the Golden Dragon King represent power and time?

He didn't ask, however. His current task was to help the soul beasts, as they were now grasshoppers tied to the same rope. Furthermore, Gu Yuena was, after all, the future wife of his disciple, so Medicine Elder had to help them for his disciple's sake.

It could also be considered a way to recruit some subordinates for himself, which would make things more convenient later on.

Since there was no way to return to the Dou Qi Continent for now, this was all he could do.

"Alright, everyone, can you sense the Dou Qi during this period?" Medicine Elder asked.
