"Gu Yuena, at the same time, I intend to forge a weapon for Little Phoenix. This will make it easier for him to fight, especially since the [Victorious Fighting Buddha] technique can also be used in conjunction with weaponry.
"Meanwhile, collecting flames from powerful beast clans—preferably those from Soul Beasts possessing the bloodline of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix—will also help Little Phoenix grow stronger. The beast clans of this world should have Beast Fire as well.
"If we can gather them, they should prove quite useful."
Medicine Elder's words reminded Phoenix King of Xiao Yan. In the early stages, or rather, very early on when he was still at the Dou Zhe stage, Xiao Yan had been unable to obtain Heavenly Flames, so he could only rely on Beast Fire.
He had used it to raise the level of his Flame Mantra.
The Soul Beasts of this world should also possess Beast Fire, though only those with fire attributes would have them. Furthermore, if the Soul Beasts were too weak, even if he cultivated the Flame Mantra to absorb them, he likely wouldn't be able to achieve any significant breakthrough.
In Phoenix King's view, this world lacked natural Heavenly Flames, possessing only Beast Fire and Martial Soul flames. At best, absorbing them would only reach the low-tier Profound grade, or perhaps mid-tier Profound grade.
He estimated it wouldn't even break into the Earth grade.
It was questionable whether this world even had sixth-tier Beast Fire; one had to remember that sixth-tier Beast Fire only allowed the Flame Mantra to advance from low-tier Yellow to mid-tier Yellow.
Yet, the strongest beings in this world were likely only around the Dou Wang level.
At most, there would only be fifth-tier Beast Fire; how could there possibly be sixth-tier? The results would surely be even worse.
"Teacher, isn't the Beast Fire of this world basically inferior to the flames of the magical beasts in your world? You must know that in your world, those Heavenly Flames are creations of heaven and earth and can be very powerful, but this world has none. Moreover, the flames of the Soul Beasts here are not even as good as those of magical beasts.
"You said this yourself. Why not try creating artificial flames instead?"
"I do intend to create artificial flames. I plan to work on both Beast Fire and artificial flames simultaneously. Once that is done, I will forge a suitable weapon for you, which will also help strengthen your power."
After Medicine Elder said this, Gu Yuena understood.
"I will begin arranging for Di Tian and the others to collect powerful fire-attribute Soul Beasts and have them willingly surrender their Beast Fire."
"However, fire-attribute Soul Beasts with the Phoenix bloodline will likely be difficult to find," Gu Yuena noted.
"But they shouldn't be non-existent. I will try sending them to search for fire-attribute Soul Beasts with Phoenix bloodlines to see if we can find any. If we truly cannot, then we will have to..."
"Then let's try that. Artificial flames will work too. I will see if I can create an artificial flame similar to the power of a Phoenix. That will make it easier for Little Phoenix to grow stronger, as he currently relies mostly on instinctual combat power.
"Besides, he is a Heavenly Demon Phoenix, flowing with the bloodline of the legendary Ancient Heavenly Phoenix. Therefore, collecting Beast Fire for him—ideally from beasts in your world that carry the Phoenix bloodline—is the best option. If that fails, I will resort to artificial ones.
"But I believe it is best to have Beast Fire with the Phoenix bloodline; that is the optimal choice. At the very least, it shouldn't lead to any... untoward incidents."
"I understand," Gu Yuena said.
(Teacher! Gu Yuena, you are both so good to me. I am truly grateful. I will definitely work hard to grow stronger, and when the time comes, I will certainly defeat the gods of the God Realm and help Teacher recover. But Teacher, your childhood sweetheart...)
"Bibi Dong, this is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. As long as you are obedient and bear offspring for our sect, we will provide you with food and drink, and we will not mistreat you. You only need to honestly give birth to geniuses.
"In this way, it can be considered as settling the debt for your murder of Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone."
Ning Fengzhi spoke thus, but in reality, even if Bibi Dong had not killed the Sword and Bone Douluo in her previous life, Ning Fengzhi would still have done this.
Do not forget the background of this Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He came from a noble family of Soul Masters and was a merchant by trade. They were members of the noble faction themselves; how could they possibly concern themselves with humanitarianism? How could they speak of benevolence, righteousness, or integrity?
This was merely an excuse. Regardless of whether Bibi Dong had done those things, once captured by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she would be used to bear children.
"Ning Fengzhi! You are from the Upper Three Sects, a Sect Master who protects the continent—how can you do such a thing? Do you not feel any shame?"
"Bibi Dong! When you killed our sect elders, did you ever consider our pain? My hair turned white overnight because of you! Let me tell you, do you think you are some virtuous person? You ate the food of Spirit Hall and then smashed their bowls; do you think you are anything good? You even wanted to wipe out the Angel Family. If not for them, you would have long since become a plaything for those nobles."
Ning Fengzhi naturally knew he was no saint; he had self-awareness. But the problem was that he had to maintain the facade of a good man to attract more commoner Soul Masters to join.
At the same time, he felt that reasoning with Bibi Dong was useless. What kind of person was she? A spoiled, ungrateful wretch who bit the hand that fed her, smashed the bowl of Spirit Hall, and even wanted to kill the Angel Family.
It was truly absurd. Without the Angel Family, she, Bibi Dong, would have been nothing more than a noble's toy, a living weapon.
Without the protection of the Angel Family, how could she have become a genius? How could she have become the Saintess of Spirit Hall, and eventually the Pope, enjoying the most top-tier resources?
Are you joking? Without the Angel Family, Bibi Dong would be nothing.
At the same time, Ning Fengzhi also mocked Spirit Hall and the Angel Family for allowing such a person to usurp their position; it was truly unheard of.
"You lie!" Bibi Dong was nothing but a spoiled girl who viewed the world through an overly idealistic lens.
"Enough talk. Uncle Bone, your Martial Soul is also top-tier, the supreme Bone Dragon Martial Soul, and it possesses spatial attributes and strong defensive capabilities. If you unite with Bibi Dong, perhaps you can produce a genius with Twin Martial Souls. Even if they only inherit one, it would be for the best. This way, we can give birth to a top-tier genius to protect the sect."
"Although I know this might not be right, and it feels a bit dirty, the issue is that for the sake of the Seven Treasure, I can set aside my pride. Besides, I have no need to speak of morality with Bibi Dong. She killed me, so why should I show her any?"
Gu Rong spoke his truth. After all, in his previous life, he had indeed been killed by Bibi Dong. Doing this to her in this life could be considered revenge for his death.
It was just that the thought of Bibi Dong having already been enjoyed by others made him feel nauseated.
Yet, suppressing the disgust in his heart, he chose to act.
"You dare!—Ahhh!" Before Bibi Dong could finish, her mouth was blocked.
