Chapter 915 - 294: The Existence Beneath the Magma Lake (Part 4)

"Because even the weakest Golden Crow is a pure-blooded Divine Beast, its realm definitely far exceeds anything like a Nascent Soul or Divinity Transformation Realm."

Hearing this, Shen Wen’an was somewhat puzzled, "Is your Phoenix clan that much worse than the Golden Crow?"

The little girl heard this and whirled around arrogantly and retorted, "Who says so!"

Shen Wen’an glanced at her and couldn’t be bothered to argue.

Meeting his gaze, the Fire Phoenix felt a bit guilty and said, "To be honest, the Phoenix clan is indeed a bit inferior to the Golden Crow."

"But this gap is very, very, very small!"

"The main reason for the gap is that the Phoenix clan’s bloodline varies in purity, unlike the Golden Crow clan which is composed entirely of pure-blooded Divine Beasts."

Shen Wen’an was still somewhat unconvinced after hearing this.

"Then you..."

The little girl looked at herself, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood Shen Wen’an’s meaning.

"I’m not actually part of the true Phoenix clan."

She explained awkwardly, her expression slightly somber, "I, the Little Demon, am just an incarnation of an Innate Spirit with the form of a Phoenix clan."

"But to truly become a Phoenix, I’m still far off."

"This Golden Crow head is different, it’s genuinely a Golden Crow Divine Beast. You see, its flesh and blood are real, not just the work of Spiritual Power and rules."

Upon hearing, Shen Wen’an leaned in close to take a good look, finding that the blood and flesh at the neck of the Golden Crow head were indeed real.

At close range, he could even smell a faint bloody scent mixed with an indescribable aroma.

"Can this thing be eaten?"

The aroma aroused his appetite, and Shen Wen’an suddenly asked.

This question left the little girl beside him stunned, she then looked at him strangely and said, "This is the head of a Divine Beast, eating it would be a waste, wouldn’t it?"

Shen Wen’an also felt that his question had been somewhat reckless, but he wasn’t really sure what else to do with it apart from eating.

The Fire Phoenix noticed his puzzled expression, seemingly aware of his thoughts.

She immediately said with frustration, "Alchemy!"

"Find an Alchemy Master to refine this flesh into elixirs. Used to open the meridians of some compatible cultivators, with luck, they might inherit a sliver of Golden Crow bloodline."

"The effect of that would be thousands of times better than just eating it!"

Shen Wen’an was suddenly enlightened.

This was indeed something he did not know.

Ultimately, it was because the Shen Family’s mastery in the Alchemy Dao was so lacking that they didn’t know using such things in alchemy could be so advantageous.

"Then its hair and bones can all be used for Artifact Refining?"

Shen Wen’an asked again.

The little girl nodded, "Artifact Refining, Array, they’re all excellent materials."

"But this Little Demon still suggests not wasting these things lightly, sir."

"A Divine Beast’s corpse is probably hard to find another in this world; using these materials recklessly without an accomplished Pill Array Master or Artifact Refining Master is simply squandering it."

Shen Wen’an nodded, he certainly understood this point.

With the Shen Family’s current half-baked achievements in the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, they couldn’t bring out the value of Divine Beast materials, and using them recklessly would be more than just squandering.

"Lord, I have a favor to ask."

After the two of them studied the Golden Crow’s head for a while, the little girl suddenly approached Shen Wen’an with a flattering expression and clasped her hands in respect.

"Speak."

Shen Wen’an spoke in a deep voice.

The Fire Phoenix seemed a little embarrassed to look at him, hemming and hawing.

"This little demon...this little demon would like those two Golden Crow Eyes."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wen’an’s gaze fell on the two Golden Crow Eyes on the massive head.

Initially, the Golden Crow’s eyes were tightly closed, but earlier they had sensed the breath of that drop of blood atop Frost Moon Mountain from the residual unyielding will within the head.

The tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, withstood by the only remaining strength on the head, launched a terrifying attack on that drop of blood.

That drop of blood also resisted fiercely, drawing upon a large amount of the Power of Heaven and Earth to unleash a Moonbeam Sword Aura.

Ultimately, these two life-long adversaries, who had crossed an unknown number of centuries, both had their remaining strength in Yangnao Land thus annihilated.

Gazing at the grand Golden Crow Eyes on the Golden Crow head, Shen Wen’an could sense that these unique eyes were the most precious treasure on the entire Golden Crow head.

Not to mention refining, just activating them directly with Spiritual Power likely could unleash a terrifying attack.

This little Fire Phoenix girl really had a sharp eye and was pretty greedy too.

"I can only give you one."

After some consideration, Shen Wen’an still couldn’t bring himself to be completely ruthless.

After all, this Golden Crow head was procured by the cooperation of the two of them.

The little girl had voluntarily provided an explanation just awhile ago.

Merit must be rewarded, faults must be punished.

Both Golden Crow Eyes can’t be given to her, so they might as well split it one each.

The little girl didn’t show much disappointment on her face upon hearing this.

Obviously, she too had anticipated such an outcome.

Getting hold of one Golden Crow Eye was already quite good.

"Let’s not rush to take it out, wait until we’re back and then figure out a way."

Seeing that the Fire Phoenix was eagerly inching forward, contemplating how to remove the Golden Crow Eye, Shen Wen’an stopped her.

The little girl thought it over, realizing that taking it here might not be quite appropriate, she suppressed her eagerness.

Turning to look at the Shen Family members tidying things up and preparing to leave Flame Lake City in the distance, she softly asked Shen Wen’an at his side, "Are you abandoning this city?"

Shen Wen’an nodded slightly, "The entire Yangnao Land is about to cease existing."

"Naturally, this city can’t be preserved."

The Fire Phoenix appeared somewhat saddened on her face.
