108: Chapter 108 Dragon essence and phoenix blood, both are highly nourishing!

In the Wutong Garden, golden leaves rustled.

After listening to the Phoenix's account, Shen Yuanshan couldn't help but grin, lifted his teacup to take a large gulp, and smacked his lips.

"The Red Snake Tribe must be crazy, right? With so many tribes in the Yao Race, aren't they afraid of causing public outrage?"

Shen Yuanhe also wore a face full of schadenfreude as he said leisurely, "Third Brother, why do you care if they are crazy or not? The Yao Race is fighting among themselves, we should just watch the show.

The Human Race has been fighting the Yao Race for hundreds of thousands of years, and how many ancestors have died? Now that I see them suffering, I wish I could set off a couple of strings of firecrackers to celebrate!"

Seventh Elder Shen Yuanlin did not respond.

Standing under the wutong treasure tree, a look of gravity appeared on his cold, stern face. His brows were tightly locked, as if he were deep in thought.

"Third Brother, Sixth Brother," he suddenly spoke, his voice low, "have you ever thought about a question?"

Shen Yuanshan was stunned: "What question?"

Seventh Elder Shen Yuanlin raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the three, and said slowly, "Since the Yao Race has people colluding with the Heavenly Domain, what about our Human Race?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire courtyard fell silent.

The schadenfreude at the corners of Shen Yuanhe's mouth gradually faded, replaced by a look of gravity.

Shen Yuanshan swallowed hard, his voice slightly drifting: "Old Seven, you mean... someone in the Human Race has also defected to the Heavenly Domain?"

Seventh Elder Shen Yuanlin nodded, his tone becoming increasingly grave: "If the Red Snake Tribe can collude with the Heavenly Domain, it shows that people from the Heavenly Domain have been secretly infiltrating the Cangxuan Great World. Since the Yao Race has them, why wouldn't the Human Race?"

He paused and continued, "And think about it, for ten thousand years the imperial path has been severed, and the Heavenly Dao has been incomplete. Everyone in the world thinks it was caused by a great catastrophe of heaven and earth.

But Little Nine just said that it was people from the Heavenly Domain plundering the Origin of Cangxuan! What does this mean?

It means that people from the Heavenly Domain have been infiltrating for who knows how many years! If they can secretly plunder the Origin, they can naturally also secretly buy off people's hearts."

Shen Yuanshan's expression darkened completely.

This speculation was not just a possibility, but a certainty!

Within the Human Race, there has never been a shortage of turncoats!

Those high and mighty Holy Lands, Imperial Clans, and those old monsters who have lived for thousands of years—perhaps many of them have already defected to the Heavenly Domain!

"Little Nine," Shen Yuanshan turned his head to look at Shen Qingyuan, "what do you think?"

Shen Qingyuan lay lazily on the soft couch, holding a grape in his hand and slowly tossing it into his mouth.

"Third Uncle, Sixth Uncle, Seventh Uncle, don't worry too much. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. Even if there really is a problem, it won't affect our Shen Family."

The three of them looked at each other, and the gravity in their hearts eased slightly.

That's right, with so many ancient Imperial Clans and ten-thousand-year-old Holy Lands around, why should they be the ones worrying?

Shen Yuanshan chuckled, "Right, right, right! With Little Nine here, what do we have to worry about?"

He took a gulp of tea, smacked his lips, and his gaze landed on the Phoenix that was tied up tightly. His eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Little Nine, how do you plan to handle this Phoenix?"

Shen Qingyuan glanced at the Phoenix, his lips curling slightly: "Keep it."

"Keep it?" Shen Yuanhe was stunned, "Not eat it?"

The Phoenix's whole body stiffened, and a flash of terror crossed its crimson-gold vertical pupils.

Eat? These humans actually wanted to eat it?!

Shen Qingyuan looked at the frightened Phoenix and rolled his eyes: "Sixth Uncle, stop scaring it. Keeping it is more useful than eating it."

Shen Yuanhe smiled sheepishly and scratched his head: "I was just saying that casually..."

Shen Qingyuan ignored him, stood up, walked to the Phoenix, and looked down at it from above.

"You give me something, and I will let you stay in the Wutong Garden to recover from your injuries. How about it?"

The Phoenix glanced at the wutong treasure tree not far away. If it had the assistance of the wutong treasure tree, it would recover much faster.

Moreover, with such a mysterious expert backing it, it wouldn't have to worry about being hunted down by the Red Snake Tribe.

It naturally had no reason to refuse: "I wonder what Senior wants?"

"Blood, your Phoenix Essence Blood." Shen Qingyuan did not hide it and was very direct.

Upon hearing this, the Phoenix was silent for a moment.

Phoenix blood! That was the most precious thing of their Phoenix race, containing the Origin power of the Nirvana True Fire, and it was the Foundation upon which their race stood in the world!

If an ordinary Cultivator could obtain a drop of Phoenix blood, not only could they cleanse their marrow and undergo a rebirth, significantly improving their own cultivation Aptitude, but they might also comprehend a trace of the Nirvana True Fire's Profound Truth, causing their combat power to skyrocket!

If an Alchemist obtained Phoenix blood, it was highly likely they could refine a Saint Pill of an extremely high grade, which would be of great benefit even to the cultivation of a Saint!

From this, one could see how precious Phoenix blood was.

But the Phoenix did not refuse. Its expression was calm as it replied: "Fine, I can give Senior a few drops."

When under someone else's roof, one has to bow their head. Furthermore, it was cultivating in a place with such dense Spiritual Qi and could borrow the wutong treasure tree. Under these conditions, giving a few drops of Phoenix blood was nothing.

"A few drops are not enough." Shen Qingyuan smiled and shook his head, "My Shen Family has quite a few Cultivators, a few drops of Phoenix blood won't be enough."

The Phoenix's crimson-gold vertical pupils suddenly shrank.

It had originally thought that Shen Qingyuan only wanted a few drops of Phoenix blood to use for Alchemy or medicine.

This was normal; although the Phoenix race was arrogant, they weren't so stingy that they couldn't bear to part with a few drops of blood.

But it never expected—this Senior in front of it, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was "enough for the Shen Family to cultivate with"!

"Senior, are you joking?"

The Phoenix's voice was trembling, its crimson-gold vertical pupils filled with disbelief.

"Every drop of my Phoenix race's Essence Blood contains the Origin power of the Nirvana True Fire. Even for an adult Phoenix, wanting to condense Phoenix blood requires a great deal of effort! Senior wants enough for the entire Shen Family to cultivate with? That would require at least hundreds of drops!"

Its tone was somewhat gloomy, "Even I cannot do that!"

"Hehe, don't be anxious—" Shen Qingyuan's expression did not change as he replied: "I'm not in a hurry to get it either. You can just give it in batches; giving a little every once in a while won't affect your cultivation."

The Phoenix almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

What does it mean to give a little every once in a while? What does he take it for?

Phoenix blood, that is its essence! Even if it's just taking a little every once in a while, it can't handle it!

On the side, the three of them—Shen Yuanshan and the others—had somewhat strange expressions.

Little Nine really has a way! Sustainable harvesting, a long-term flow!

Unlike them, only thinking about starting the pot and heating the oil, stewing it... Naive! Their methods were still too naive!

The Phoenix recalled the tragic state of Tiannan, recalled the crisis in its clan, and then looked at the wutong treasure tree in the courtyard, finally nodding and replying: "Fine! I agree, Senior!"

It paused and added: "I can give Phoenix blood, but it must not affect my cultivation!"

"That is natural." Shen Qingyuan nodded slightly.

The Phoenix immediately took out a few drops of Phoenix blood and handed them to Shen Qingyuan.

Shen Qingyuan kept two drops, and handed the rest to Shen Yuanshan and the others.
