It didn’t take Lin Fan long to collect all of the herbs that were in this place.𝒐𝐯𝓁𝐞xt.𝗇𝓔t

The herbs would have resisted, but they had already heard the Phoenix God fragment selling them to Lin Fan. So they had no choice but to go with Lin Fan, hoping that he would treat them kindly.

In hopes of currying favour with him, the herbs that could move on their own pulled themselves out of the ground and went over to Lin Fan on their own. They were hoping that by showing that they could act on their own and by showing a display of submission, they would be able to get closer to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was certainly surprised since this didn’t happen when he met the Dragon God fragment, but he wasn’t opposed to this.

After all, his plan wasn’t to kill these herbs in the first place.

If he could get a continuous supply of alchemy ingredients from these herbs, then there was no need for him to do anything to them. He understood that it was better to take care of the goose that laid golden eggs than to kill it.

So he put them all away and planned on planting them once he returned to the store, just like with the herbs he obtained from the Dragon God fragment.

When the herbs that he collected met with the herbs that he collected before, they found that their stories were the same and they became closer to each other.

Once he had finished collecting all of the herbs, Lin Fan went back to where the statue was.

He found that the Phoenix God fragment was standing over Xiao Huo who was sitting there on the ground. However, he also found that Xiao Huo, who had taken his beast form, was…much bigger than before.

This was just like what had happened with Xiao Feng when he accepted the Dragon God’s inheritance.

It was already near the end of the inheritance acceptance when Lin Fan came back, so he didn’t have to wait long before Xiao Huo opened his eyes.

The moment that Xiao Huo opened his eyes, the first thing that he did was look around for Lin Fan.

Once he found Lin Fan, he immediately charged over to hug him, but Lin Fan dodged out of the way just like he had done with Xiao Feng.

Xiao Huo revealed a hurt look, but Lin Fan wasn’t affected by it.

That was because he knew that if he hadn’t moved out of the way, he would have been crushed by Xiao Huo. After all, Xiao Huo was now more than three times the size that he was before, standing even taller than Lin Fan in his beast form.

If Lin Fan had tried to hold him, there was no doubt that he would have been crushed.

Lin Fan reached up to pat Xiao Huo’s head as a consolation and when he did, Xiao Huo realized what had changed. Xiao Huo quickly looked over his own body in an excited manner.

After he finished, he stood there in front of Lin Fan and gave an imposing pose.

Lin Fan nodded at him with a smile and gave him a few words of praise before turning to the Phoenix God fragment.

The Phoenix God fragment was already starting to turn transparent.

But there was still something that Lin Fan wanted from this Phoenix God fragment.

“Before you go, can you give me the Phoenix Stone?” Lin Fan suddenly asked.

The Phoenix God fragment looked like it had suddenly realized something, but it shook its head in the end before saying, “I don’t have it.”

“Huh?” Lin Fan said in a confused voice.

The Phoenix God fragment revealed a smile as she said, “I left it with my descendants. If you want the Phoenix Stone, just go to my descendants with this one here and they’ll give it to you. I’ve already left instructions to them on what to do if they meet the Void God’s successor.”

Lin Fan just gave a simple nod in response to this.

He had already guessed that it was something like this, but getting the confirmation was better than nothing.

As she faded away, the Phoenix God fragment said the same thing as the Dragon God fragment.

“Please take care of my Phoenix Race.”

Lin Fan once again gave a simple nod in response to this.

Once she was gone, Lin Fan gave a slight bow to the statue in front of him before turning to leave.

Xiao Huo saw this and shrank down to his human form, but he was the same as Xiao Feng in this sense. He looked like a handsome young man, but he still had the mentality of a child.

So Lin Fan felt strange about holding him, once again dodging out of the way.

Xiao Huo once again revealed a hurt look.

When they walked through the door, the same thing happened where the rest of them didn’t recognize Xiao Huo right away. 

The ones that had already experienced what had happened before with Xiao Feng were able to react a bit faster, but they were still caught off guard by Xiao Huo’s new appearance.

As for Feng Ling and Feng Yu, they reacted just like Qing Ao and Qing Bao Lan had reacted.

When they were done, Feng Yu was acting the same way as Qing Bao Lan from before and was comforting Xiao Huo.

But at the same time, she was looking at Qing Bao Lan with a look that only the two of them could understand. It was a look that seemed like she was bragging about how Xiao Huo was just as handsome as Xiao Feng now.

It was hard to understand the feelings of these young girls…

Since Lin Fan had met the Phoenix God fragment and Xiao Huo had received the inheritance from her, that meant that their task here underground was done.

Since it was done, Lin Fan was now just waiting for…

As if on cue, there was a notification from the system telling him that it would be teleporting them to the Phoenix Race’s homeworld.

As an added bonus, the notification also said that they would be teleported to where the Dragon Race envoy was.

Lin Fan was surprised that the Dragon Race envoy was already here. After all, it had only been a few hours since they had come to the Phoenix Race homeworld.

However, it did make sense since these two races were both races from the five sacred beasts. They had a close relationship with one another, or else a situation like Qing Ao, Feng Ling, and Lei Ting’s wouldn’t have happened.

So there must be a secret passage that the five sacred beast races had amongst themselves for getting to each other’s homeworlds quickly.

The rest of them all received the same notification, so Lin Fan quickly put Feng Ling, Feng Yu, and Xiao Huo into the pet storage space.

These three couldn’t be revealed to the Phoenix Race yet until Lin Fan figured out what the situation with the Phoenix Race was.

There was a flash of white light that appeared in front of them before they appeared inside of a building. Behind them, there was something that seemed to be a portal that was powered on.

All around them were different people that were standing there, but there were two different auras that clearly came through.

It was the aura of the Phoenix Race and the aura of the Dragon Race.

After the white light cleared up, they found that they were completely surrounded by those from both the Phoenix Race and the Dragon Race.

The guards from both of these races immediately came forward to surround their group, but once they saw who the intruders were, there were two different reactions that appeared.

For those from the Phoenix Race, they raised their guard and prepared to strike at any moment.

They didn’t know who these intruders were, but the fact that they were able to teleport into this place…a place that was considered a secret facility for the Phoenix Race that was also heavily guarded…They definitely weren’t normal people.

The Phoenix Race was already thinking about how to dispose of these intruders now that they had seen these secret facilities.

But for those from the Dragon Race…

They immediately recognized Lin Fan.

The guards that had come were all the elite guards of the Dragon Race, the ones that had been prepared to guard Lin Fan and Xiao Feng in the first place. So naturally all of them recognized Lin Fan as he was the one that they were supposed to guard.

The elders of the Dragon Race also recognized Lin Fan immediately, but they couldn’t understand how he had suddenly appeared in this place.

After a moment of silence, the elders of the Phoenix Race gave a signal to their guards.

As soon as these guards received this signal, they started moving towards Lin Fan’s group with their weapons raised.

Since they were guards in this place, these were guards that were on par with the elite guards of the Dragon Race. These were guards that were in the Ruler Realm.

The pressure that they released as they came closer towards Lin Fan wasn’t weak.

The leader of the Phoenix Race’s elite guards said, “Identify yourselves or you will be shown no mercy!”

But before they could approach Lin Fan, the elders of the Dragon Race quickly came forward to stand between Lin Fan and the guards.

The leader of the Dragon Race envoy quickly raised his hand and said, “Wait! Wait! This is all a misunderstanding!”
