469 Sinners of The Dragon and Phoenix Clans (2)

Huo Yan shook her head and looked a little drunk. She glanced at Song Shi. “Aren’t you afraid of exploding?”

“It’s okay.”

Song Shi’s physical body was far stronger than Huo Yan’s. Even a Great Sage cultivator might not be able to compare to him.

“The phoenix eyes are here.”

Shopkeeper He was like the boss of a fly restaurant on the street. The way he served the dishes was very grounded, down to earth. This time, he served two bowls of soup with a pearl in it.

“This is Nine Yin Phoenix Eye Soup. It’s made with Nine Yin Ghost Water and Fire Phoenix Eye. It has the effect of nourishing the eyes. Coupled with dragon liver meat, one is Yin and the other Yang, it complements each other.”

Shopkeeper He explained with a smile, “Since Yin and Yang complement each other, Fellow Daoist Huo Yan can still have a bowl of soup. As for the phoenix eyes…”

“I think I can eat!”

In the end, Huo Yan could not bear to part with such a powerful tonic like the phoenix eye. To her Vermilion Bird Race, this item was very beneficial.

She staggered to the soup bowl and finished it in one gulp. Her entire body felt refreshed and comfortable. Then, she pecked the pearl and swallowed it.

In the next moment, blazing flames erupted from her eyes and a powerful aura appeared on her body. She could not help but cry into the sky, emitting a loud phoenix cry.

After shouting this, Huo Yan fell to the side of the table and stopped moving.

“Did she eat to her death..?”

Song Shi was shocked. his treat did not result into her eating herself to death, right?

“Fortunately, she’s from the Vermilion Bird Race after all. It’s just that she consumed too much spiritual energy and her body couldn’t take it anymore so she fell asleep.”

Shopkeeper He seemed to have seen many similar things. After a slight inspection, he came to a conclusion.

Song Shi was relieved. “That’s good. Give me a few more portions of dragon liver. I haven’t eaten enough.”

“There are only two portions left. After all, dragon liver is a precious item. This is all we have in our store.”

Shopkeeper He said.

“Then serve it all. Where’s the soup?” Song Shi guessed that the Phoenix Eye Soup would not be bad too.

“There’s no more. There’s only a pair of phoenix eyes. If you want to eat them again, we have to kill another phoenix.”

Shopkeeper He shook his head.

“What a pity. I feel that just two portions of dragon liver are not enough.” Song Shi felt regretful.

“Actually, roasted dragon meat, dragon bone soup, phoenix claws, and other delicacies are not bad. It’s just that the energy and effect contained in them are inferior to dragon liver and phoenix eyes.”

Shopkeeper He introduced.

“And these? Give me a serving of all of them!”

Song Shi did not expect to have the chance to eat the full dragon banquet. He was a little surprised. “Do you usually kill dragons and phoenixes?”

“There’s no such thing. It’s just that there aren’t many of them that were slaughtered when some fellows from the Dragon and Phoenix Clans wanted to rebel in the past.”

Shopkeeper He shook his head.

“Rebellion?”

Song Shi took a sip of soup and asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”

“You don’t know?”

Shopkeeper He was stunned. “Didn’t you know that the Water Dragon and Fire Phoenix races rebelled and became sinners?”

Song Shi took a sip of the phoenix-eye soup in a daze and shook his head. “I don’t know. I came from the lower realm and haven’t stayed for long.”

“Oh, I suppose people who knew about such ancient secrets would think that it’s ordinary after awhile. Indeed, not many people would talk about it for no reason. Let me tell you about it then.”

Shopkeeper He sat at the side and sighed. “This matter can be traced back to the first war between the Black Spirit Realm and the Heavenly Demon World. At that time, it was still the primordial era, right? Countless years have pa.s.sed since then.”

“Oh, it’s quite a long time ago, so the dragon and phoenix races became food?”

Song Shi felt that this ancient secret was becoming more and more popular.

“More or less. Legend has it that the Water Dragon and Fire Phoenix races were bewitched by the Demon Ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Realm and betrayed him at the critical moment of the war between the two worlds, causing the Black Spirit Realm to suffer a huge defeat and almost be swallowed by the Heavenly Demon World. If not for the Black Spirit Realm resisting with all its might, this might have already become a part of the Heavenly Demon World.”

Shopkeeper He sighed. “Because of this, the Water Dragon and Fire Phoenix races were defined as sinners by the Black Spirit Realm. They were not allowed to become immortals for the rest of their lives and were not allowed to leave the Black Spirit Realm. They became sinners that could be killed by every race, but…”

He smiled awkwardly. “After all, these two races are prehistoric mutants. They were originally one of the two strongest races in the Black Spirit Realm. Furthermore, they have many bloodline branches. For example, the Vermilion Bird Race has a deep relationship with the Fire Phoenix Race. The Green Dragon Race is a branch of the Water Dragon Race, and the Black Tortoise Race also has the bloodline of the Dragon Race.”

“So these races became the guards guarding the periphery of the Black Spirit Realm?”

Song Shi smiled playfully. “Actually, I think this is their penance. If they don’t do this, they will definitely be punished.”

“Cough cough, lower your voice. This has happened so many years ago. The four Sacred Clans have sacrificed many generations of their clansmen. In fact, the generations now have done nothing wrong to deserve this.”

Song Shi nodded in agreement. However, he asked curiously, “What’s going on with the White Tiger Clan? They didn’t betray us, right?”

“This… I heard that the White Tiger Tribe was stationed at the frontline to resist the Heavenly Demon Realm from the very beginning. They took the initiative to guard the Black Spirit Realm’s entrance for generations.”

Shopkeeper He said uncertainly.

“That Old Ancestor of the White Tiger Clan is a man.”

Song Shi nodded. He thought of something and said, “The Inner Demon Tribulation in the Mystic Spirit World was also the residual effect of this defeat.”

“That’s right. Although the Heavenly Demon World didn’t successfully devour the Black Spirit Realm back then, the consequences they left added an additional calamity to the cultivators of this world, the Inner Demon Tribulation!”

Shopkeeper He had a displeased expression. “Every moment, there will be evil demons from outer realms who want to use the Inner Demon Tribulation to control cultivators and attack my Black Spirit Realm from the inside!”

Song Shi swallowed the phoenix eye thoughtfully. A cold feeling engulfed his entire body, followed by another wave of heat. His Essence Soul lit up brightly, benefiting from it.

A bright light shot out of his eyes. He felt that his vision had increased greatly, as if he had phoenix eyes.

He sighed: “The dragon and phoenix races have actually been reduced to food that I’ve benefited greatly from!”

“It’s fine to say this here. Fellow Daoist Song, but don’t talk nonsense when you go out. Currently, nearly half of the Ten Great Imperial Clans are related to the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, especially the Dragon Clan. There’s also a direct branch of the Green Dragon Clan that’s ranked among the Ten Great Imperial Clans. They’ve always hated people who eat dragon meat.”

These words reminded Song Shi of the guy who had mocked him on the fifth floor. He pursed his lips and said, “It’s fine. If any dragons are unhappy, I can personally make a full dragon banquet out of them.”

“…”

Shopkeeper He felt that his reminder was in vain.

“Among the Ten Great Imperial Clans, who is the strongest?”

Song Shi asked as he ate.

“There’s no doubt that it’s the Nine Yin Phoenix Eye Soup. Basically, it’s been them since ancient times. This race was the first race present when the Black Spirit Realm was born. It can be said to be a divine race.”

Shopkeeper He said affirmatively, “Next will be the Four Elements Spirit Race, the Four Sacred Clans, and then our human race.”

“Four?”

Song Shi finished the last mouthful of soup. “Why isn’t it the five elements?”

“The Mystic Spirit Race is the Earth Element.”

Shopkeeper He shook his head. “Fellow Daoist Song still lacks too much basic knowledge to make up for. I’ll give this book to you. Let me go check on your dishes.”

Seeing that Shopkeeper He had left behind a book and left, Song Shi opened it. Every page contained a lot of information. After flipping through it for a while, he muttered with a strange expression, “It looks like the Seven-Colored Tower was built by some glutton. There are actually many cooking methods of the different races written on it.”

He flipped to the introduction of the Dragon Clan and quickly found the introduction of the Dragon Eating Technique. He browsed it with interest.

Then, he saw the Vermilion Bird Tribe sized up the sleeping Vermilion Bird from time to time. He felt that the Vermilion Bird had become much fatter after eating the dragon liver and phoenix eyes. She was quite suitable for cooking.

Soon, Shopkeeper He brought over many dishes. Other than the dragon liver, there was also stir-fried phoenix scallops, boiled dragon meat, braised phoenix wings, cold dragon nose, fragrant braised phoenix claws…

If dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder were high-quality and scarce, these dishes were different. Moreover, there were many of them, and they were very suitable for filling one’s stomach.

Song Shi drooled as he watched. He picked up his chopsticks and ate to his heart’s content.

“Fellow Daoist Song, it’s more refreshing to eat with this spirit rice.”

Shopkeeper He thoughtfully brought over a bucket of rice.

“I love your hospitality! Shopkeeper, sit down and eat with me. I’ll treat you.”

Song Shi was in a good mood and invited Shopkeeper He to join him.

“That’s not good.”

Shopkeeper He was polite for a moment, but in the end, he still accompanied Song Shi to eat.

As for Huo Yan, she slept like a dead bird and didn’t have the luck to enjoy the feast anymore.

After three rounds of wine, the cups and plates were in a mess. Song Shi ate until his stomach was round before he stopped in satisfaction. “This feels good. I’ve never had such a refreshing meal before. It’s not an exaggeration to say that I feel like a G.o.d.”

Shopkeeper He smiled and said, “To eat dragon and phoenix meat, one must have enough ability. Although these dragon and phoenix are only a thousand years old, the essence contained in them is still terrifying. It’s a little shocking that Fellow Daoist Song can eat to this extent. The Great Sages I usually receive are only so-so.”

“I’m probably a big eater.”

Song Shi patted his belly and burped. “Shopkeeper He, let’s settle the bill.”

Shopkeeper He smiled. “One million two hundred and ten thousand high-grade spirit stones. If Fellow Daoist Song pays with supreme-grade spirit stones, you can pay ten thousand.”

Song Shi was stunned. “I ate so much?”
