The Unique Guardian Beast Master in Cultivation World

Chapter 597: Chapter 347: The Legacy of Wei Wu

“Is this for me?”

Danding Zong’s true disciple, Jin Suyan, lacked confidence as she looked at the drop of fresh blood delivered to her. Within it, a pure white phoenix faintly hovered, radiating a spirit that made all the birds inherently yearn to follow and serve it.

“Yes, it’s for you. Didn’t you want a drop of Phoenix Blood Essence? Although this blood is not completely pure, it should meet your current demands.”

“What do you want in return?”

Jin Suyan looked at the young man who had abruptly appeared before her, a hint of vigilance and wariness in her eyes. She instinctively wrapped her already tightly bound Taoist robe around her, but her actions only piqued Feng Qing’an’s interest.

People often don’t value things that are easily attained or simply handed to them; instead, the allure lies in those unattainable or difficult to obtain.

The true disciple of Danding Zong had offered herself to him more than once, but Feng Qing’an wasn’t interested. However, her current resisting stance gave him an idea — rebellion makes things interesting; the more the defiance, the more the thrill.

“What do you think you can give me?”

A mischievous smile that didn’t give a damn about anything spread across Feng Qing’an’s face. Coupled with his attractive appearance, he looked quite like a rogue, bullying men and domineering over women, running rampant in the countryside.

“I have Qingmu Yuyang Pills and Taiching Enlightenment Pills, and…”

Just being beautiful was not enough to secure the position of a true disciple in the Immortal Sects, which were renowned for their alchemy skills. She naturally had quite a few prized possessions, which even the true disciples of other Taoist sects would envy. Therefore, when Feng Qing’an asked, she answered without a second thought.

“Alright, no need to continue. Do you think the value of these pills can compare to the Phoenix Blood Essence in my hands? How many of these pills would you need to give in exchange for this Phoenix Blood Essence?”

Feng Qing’an waved his hand impatiently. He was not interested in hearing this femme fatale recite a grocery list.

He now intended to clear out the Cave Sky and send away these people with whom he had no personal grudges. His transaction with Hua Qingyu had already been completed.

Hua Qingyu, the Heavenly Star of the Star Lodging Sect, had taught him the secret recipe of the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Influx Technique, a portion not handed down by her sect, because she did not want to owe him a favor. Feng Qing’an was more than content to part with whatever was in his possession in the Cave Sky. After all, it wasn’t much.

The most valuable thing in the Cave Sky was the Cave Sky itself, not the resources produced within it. These could be regenerated repeatedly, and there was nothing particularly precious about them.

“I…”

Jin Suyan gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes staring at Feng Qing’an.

It had to be said; the beauty of this Taoist enchantress was beyond compare; she was stunning, magnificent, capable of toppling empires. Her black hair shone like a mirror, naturally falling down; her skin was smooth and delicate like lambskin jade, her waist slender, her figure captivating.

“Just say what you want!”

“What I want, I’m afraid you might not be able to give.”

Feng Qing’an crossed his arms over his chest, his hand on his chin, his eyes scanning the enchantress up and down.

“You go first.”

Jin Suyan took a deep breath. She had dared to be so bold with Feng Qing’an, even hinting at flirtation in her words and deeds, because the situation was different.

Back then, they were a group of prodigies. Even if Feng Qing’an had been truly tempted, he wouldn’t have dared to do anything; but now, they were alone.

There was no possible way she could defeat this self-proclaimed Independent Practitioner. Should she provoke him now, he might simply decide to deal with her on the spot. Apart from crying out in pain and moaning, there was probably nothing else she could do.

“Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to climb a knife mountain or jump into a pool of boiling oil. Just serve me for a day. How about it?”

Feng Qing’an made his demand with his eyes narrowed into a smile. He had initially planned to hand over the benefits and send her away, but her resisting expression made him find her quite amusing.

“Feng Qing’an, I am a true disciple of Danding Zong. My great-grandfather is the Cloud Crane Expert of Danding Zong. How dare you insult me?”

“Oh!”

Feng Qing’an nodded with understanding, his face remaining calm. He slowly clenched his hand.

“Then, suit yourself!”

“Wait a moment.”

Seeing the Phoenix Blood Essence, which was emitting a brilliant divine light between Feng Qing’an’s fingers, about to disappear, Jin Suyan immediately became anxious.

To get a drop of Phoenix Blood Essence, she didn’t know how much time she had planned, or how much effort she had expended. And now, the Phoenix Blood Essence was almost within her grasp, but it was about to slip away. How could she bear that?

Just looking for a phoenix’s trace in the mortal realm, even if it was only a divine bird carrying the phoenix’s bloodline, was hardly any simpler than finding a real dragon.

Let alone the fact that even if she did find one, obtaining its blood essence brought tremendous risk; the smallest mistake could get her killed. The title of an Immortal Sects’ true disciple was of no use at all here.

So just trying to obtain Phoenix Blood Essence without offending the Phoenix Clan was harder than becoming an Immortal. However, after countless painstaking efforts, she had finally found an opportunity.

But when she got into this Cave Sky, which was supposedly developed by a phoenix, she realized that although there were many phoenixes, more than one, none of them were ones she could afford to provoke.
