“Pheonix blood?”
Thea was thunderstruck. She could not help but exclaim, “This is phoenix’s blood?”
“Yes.” Tyrus nodded and said, “It is indeed phoenix’s blood.”
“Who are you, exactly? Why do you have phoenix blood? It’s such a valuable thing. Why would you give it to me?”
“To be honest, I don’t really want to give it to you,” said Tyrus. “Phoenix’s blood is quite rare. Now, we only have so little left. With such a small amount of phoenix blood, a person's constitution can be changed and made immortal. I don't want to give it to you, but it’s a gift from my father to you.”
“Your father, who is he?”
“My name’s Tyrus. My father… You can call him the Prince of Orchid Mountain.”
“What?” Thea was once again stunned when she heard the words ‘Prince of Orchid Mountain’. “What did you say? Your father’s the Prince of Orchid Mountain? The Prince of Orchid Mountain who tried to kill the Spirit Turtle a thousand years ago?”
The Prince of Orchid Mountain. It was impossible for Thea not to know about him. The current Caden family was closely connected to the Prince of Orchid Mountain. The family’s ancestor served under the Prince of Orchid Mountain as an official.
Tyrus nodded, “Yes.”
“Phew!” Thea took a deep breath.
It took her some time to calm down. Then she looked at Tyrus and asked, “Why is he giving me the phoenix blood? You said so yourself. This phoenix blood is enough to make an average person immortal. It can change a person’s fate. Why would he give me something so valuable?”
“Because…” Tyrus enunciated his words, “Because you were tainted with the Spirit Turtle’s blood at Mount Thunder Sect. Then, the Omniscient Deity gave you the qilin’s blood, and James brought back the dragon’s blood from the Blood Race. You have blood from three of the Four Holy Beasts. With this one given to you now, you’ll have collected all four types of blood.”
“Father speaks highly of you. As to how much you can grow, it’ll be determined by your luck.”
After saying that, Tyrus turned around and left with a stride.
In a few strides, he vanished from Thea’s sight.
“Pheonix blood?” Thea lowered her head and looked at the quartz bottle in her hands.
