He Pingsheng was somewhat unwilling to give up. "Not a single Divine Phoenix meets the requirements?"
"No!" Tang Wan shook her head. "There are males with a blue left foot and three flowing light feathers, though!"
"There are also females with three flowing light feathers, but their left foot isn't blue. It's red, just like their right foot!"
"Anyway, none match exactly!"
"The closest match is this one with four flowing light feathers!"
He Pingsheng thought for two breaths. "All right, how much is this one?"
Different flowing light feathers represented different bloodline ranks. One with four flowing light feathers was certainly more valuable than one with three.
That was a certainty.
Sure enough, the woman said, "Eight hundred units of physical divine gold!"
He Pingsheng took out eight hundred units of physical divine gold and gave them to the woman, then left with the Divine Phoenix.
This Divine Phoenix was still relatively small, only about ten feet tall when standing. Naturally, she would grow larger in the future, but no matter how much she grew, her bloodline rank would never change.
She would only ever have four flowing light feathers in this lifetime.
Only by consuming heavenly materials and earthly treasures containing phoenix true blood could she improve her bloodline.
"Off..." Without the slightest hesitation, Old Cao decisively reached out and plucked one of the Divine Phoenix's golden feathers.
"Ah... aaah..."
The Divine Phoenix screamed in pain, then spoke in human language. "You damned old man! You actually plucked my divine feather! You deserve to die!"
"It hurts so much!"
"It hurts to death!"
This Flowing Light Divine Phoenix was probably still in her juvenile stage, and her voice sounded thoroughly childish when she spoke.
The corner of He Pingsheng's mouth twitched. Even he felt the Divine Phoenix's pain.
