Chapter 452: Precious Gift

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Phoe and Yagon were the only masters left here. It had to be one of them.

The rest were Yagon’s subordinates. They wouldn’t disturb somebody as important as Himmel Soan.

In the end, the answer was quite straightforward.

Phoe opened the door, only to be welcomed by the heatwave inside.

“Why is it so hot in here?” Phoe was curious.

Although the temperature was high, it was nothing for Phoe. Being a fire phoenix, she liked fire. She could withstand much higher temperatures.

In fact, she would enjoy that kind of environment and turn it to her advantage.

“Firey is making a breakthrough,” said Himmel Soan.

“What?!” Phoe was surprised.

She and Firey had been quite close recently, so she knew it hadn’t been a year since Firey took her human form.

It only took her six months to reach the Hinayana stage, yet she was already making a breakthrough!

How could that be possible?

Nobody could be that talented!

Phoe cried out in surprise when she looked at Firey.

“She’s really going to make a breakthrough!”

As soon as she said that, she covered her mouth, realizing her mistake.

At this critical moment, Firey shouldn’t be disturbed. If she was distracted, her energy could go awry. That would make Phoe the culprit!

“Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen.” Himmel patted her on the shoulder.

“I almost caused a disaster!” Phoe was relieved.

Despite what Himmel Soan said, she still lowered her voice.

She knew the only reason that Firey wasn’t disturbed was Himmel Soan. But that didn’t mean she could talk as loudly as she wanted.

She didn’t want to bring any more trouble for Himmel Soan.

“I know you’re worried about Firey. That’s understandable. Don’t worry. I’m here for her. Is there a problem?” he asked why Phoe came here.

Only then did Phoe realize what she was here for. She got distracted!

“Mr. Soan, Yagon said he wanted to give you a small present to express his gratitude. Please take this!” Phoe took an exquisite box out of her storage ring. On it was a sapphire.

It reminded Himmel Soan of something. It was said that dragons always coveted treasures. The rumors seemed to be true.

“I didn’t actually do anything. Don’t worry about it,” said Himmel Soan.

He meant it.

Lumi was destroyed because of the deal he made with the law of nature. He would solve the problem in the Dusk Soul Forest in exchange for Gina’s information.

Therefore, Himmel Soan felt he was only helping himself.

He felt ashamed to accept any present, nor did they have that habit. Hence, he turned it down.

“Mr. Soan, it’s only a small thing. If you don’t accept it, we won’t know how to thank you anymore.

“Please take it!” Phoe said earnestly.

Himmel Soan was moved.

“Alright. I’ll accept it. That’s all you’re going to give me, right?” Fearing that more was coming, Himmel Soan immediately rejected any future presents.

If Phoe didn’t give him a promise, Himmel Soan wouldn’t accept this gift. He didn’t think he had done enough to take presents.

“Of course, please accept this one. This is all we have to offer. We don’t have anything else that’s valuable enough,” Phoe said in resignation.

How many gifts could they afford? What more could they give to Himmel Soan?

Firey was the essence of nature. Himmel Soan had managed to find such a treasure and even brought her up to be such a capable cultivator.

How many treasures could be compared to the essence of nature?

Such things did exist, but they were extremely rare, and Yagon couldn’t find them either.

After giving away this item, Yagon and Phoe didn’t have anything else valuable to give.

“Alright.” Himmel Soan took the box but didn’t open it right away.

It wouldn’t be polite. He only opened it after Phoe left.

“Well…

“This gift…

“If I knew what it was, I wouldn’t have accepted it!”

Himmel Soan sighed. There were two golden cores in the box. They were Phoe and Yagon’s.

There were two ways to obtain cores. One was to kill the sacred beasts and remove the cores. Another was to let them willingly give away their cores.

Asking a sacred beast to give away its core was unheard of.

The core was equivalent to a human’s heart. Removing it wouldn’t kill a sacred beast, but it would become very weak.

Creating a second core was extremely difficult, so taking it away was almost the same as killing them.

Phoe and Yagon had given him their cores as a gift. Himmel Soan felt sorry for accepting it. He didn’t think he had done enough to deserve such a gift.

He had to return it. Himmel Soan was determined. No matter what he or Phoe had said, there was no way he would accept this.

“Wait…” Himmel Soan was still thinking about the gift when Firey started moving.

Her energy fluctuated. The temperature in the room became unstable, and she seemed to be struggling.

“Is she making the breakthrough now?” Himmel Soan reached his conclusion after some observation.

The poisonous mad dog was a sacred beast, after all. Even in death, it didn’t want to be absorbed. Now was his last resistance.

It wasn’t conscious, but the resistance was real. Once Firey suppressed it, Firey would be able to absorb all the energy and make her breakthrough.
