Rise of the Invincible Upgrade System

Chapter 281: The Phoenix’s Dowry

The Phoenix God Clan, experiencing its first reproduction since ancient times, even the Divine Venerables deep down wanted to vie for it.

"No, I... I really didn’t mean that..."

As the helmsman of the clan, Extreme Phoenix should, by rights, be first in such matters.

But she had always been magnanimous; giving way was no big deal. They were all sisters, so who went first didn’t really matter, did it?

"What I mean is, Qin Mu is still young."

Extreme Separation became even more confused:

"What does being young have to do with it?"

"Humans mature very early; isn’t that one of their reproductive advantages?"

Extreme Phoenix was speechless.

"I mean, Qin Mu’s Realm is still low. Can he truly withstand the Blazing Flame of us Divine Venerables?"

Uh~~

That was indeed a problem.

The Divine Venerables exchanged glances, then all turned to look at Jiang Ni, who was behind them, looking innocent and bewildered.

"It’s decided!"

"Jiang Ni goes first!"

After Extreme Separation finished speaking, she could no longer hold back: "Let’s go, this Divine Venerable will protect your reproduction!"

"I’m going too!" Extreme Flame certainly wouldn’t be left behind.

"Let’s all go, let’s all go~"

The other Divine Venerables and God Marquis Realm Phoenixes all stepped forward.

How many years had it been?

The Seven Phoenix Secret Realm had always been full of Death Qi.

Now, the entire Secret Realm seemed to have come alive.

The Phoenixes’ thoughts, because of a possibility, had all come to Life!

"Me?" Jiang Ni still hadn’t understood what the Seniors were saying, and she pointed at the tip of her nose, asking, "Where am I going?"

"To Qin Mu! Where else could you go?!" Extreme Separation pouted: "You’re still young, so it’s normal not to understand. This Divine Venerable will guide you Move by Move when the time comes~"

"Guide?"

Extreme Flame rolled her eyes: "You talk as if you’re an expert. Aren’t you just a Phoenix chick yourself~?"

"Yes!" Extreme Separation proudly raised her head: "But, this Divine Venerable will learn! I’m going to the Metaverse right now to learn all the Human Race’s reproductive Moves, not missing a single one~!"

Alas.

Extreme Phoenix was truly torn between laughter and tears at this moment.

The Seven Phoenix Secret Realm was filled with laughter and chatter, so lively that she felt extremely gratified, but she still had some worries.

"Sisters, we don’t even know where Qin Mu is right now..."

???

The Seven Phoenix Secret Realm fell silent again.

Just as Extreme Phoenix was about to speak, her pupils suddenly constricted: "Ten Thousand Moons is looking for me? Wait a moment..."

...Metaverse.

Extreme Phoenix logged on at the Phoenix God Tower in Central State City, which was the Phoenix God Clan’s outpost among the Human Race.

Ten Thousand Moons had just arrived as well.

"Extreme Phoenix, it’s urgent. I need a phoenix god pill. Name your price!"

phoenix god pill?

Extreme Phoenix’s expression instinctively turned cold: "Do you know how precious this phoenix god pill is!?"

"Of course I know!" Ten Thousand Moons was anxious; time waited for no one.

Qin Mu was attempting to forcefully take a Soul-type cosmic spirit treasure; success was impossible.

In fact, how long he could hold on was an unknown!

"The phoenix god pill is condensed from the true Bloodline of the ancient Phoenix God, and in the Universe, Medicinal Pills that have miraculous effects on the Soul, besides the Spirit Race’s Heavenly Heart Marrow, there is only this phoenix god pill."

"If the Arena still had even one of these two items, I wouldn’t be asking you!"

Since Ten Thousand Moons had sought out Extreme Phoenix, she was prepared to be exploited.

This was unavoidable.

Although the Spirit Race was not the Human Race’s mortal enemy, if it were for Qin Mu, no matter the price, the Spirit Race would not sell!

And the Phoenix God Clan had been in seclusion for hundreds of thousands of world origin, so across the entire Universe, there were probably only a few left.

Now, the only ones who still possessed this Divine Pill were the Phoenix God Clan.

Even if the Phoenix God had long since fallen, they could still, by virtue of the Phoenix God Bloodline within them, spend thousands of world origin to slowly condense a trace of true Bloodline.

"No..."

Extreme Phoenix was about to say a word but immediately stopped herself.

"There is indeed no phoenix god pill."

"However, this Divine Venerable can expend a hundred thousand world origin of effort to condense one for you."

Ten Thousand Moons didn’t waste a single word: "What’s the price?"

"Heh~"

Extreme Phoenix’s lips curled slightly: "Spirit Treasure!"

"Don’t tell me you don’t have any."

"I know that the heart of eternity is now in your hands."

One phoenix god pill for one cosmic spirit treasure.

The price was absolutely outrageous.

But that’s how the market was.

If you want it, you don’t get to set the price.

Ten Thousand Moons bit her lip lightly: "A Spirit Treasure is fine! But it has to be a different one. The heart of eternity is gone; it’s already been used."

"Used?!"

Extreme Phoenix hadn’t originally intended to sell the phoenix god pill, but the heart of eternity in Ten Thousand Moons’s hand was useful to Qin Mu.

She heard that Human Race marriages required a dowry.

Using the heart of eternity as a dowry, she thought, should show great sincerity, right?

"That’s impossible. You wouldn’t use that kind of Soul-type Spirit Treasure yourself, nor would you sell it. Could it be..."

Extreme Phoenix suddenly froze, blurting out: "You gave it to Qin Mu?"

Alas... Ten Thousand Moons nodded silently.

"It is indeed suitable for him to have the heart of eternity. This Divine Venerable thought the same, but..." Extreme Phoenix looked at Ten Thousand Moons’s anxious expression, and doubt resurfaced in her heart.

"But if he has the heart of eternity, why would he still need a phoenix god pill?"

The phoenix god pill is condensed from the Ancestral Phoenix Bloodline.

It has miraculous effects on the Soul.

But for Phoenixes, it is also useful.

The more true Bloodline within the body, the stronger the Blazing Flame. Condensing a phoenix god pill is equivalent to crippling one’s cultivation. Unless they are extremely poor, the Phoenix God Clan would not sell them.

And most of the phoenix god pills in the Universe actually come from slaying Phoenixes.

The largest source, in fact, was the place where the Ancestral Phoenix fell back then.

This was an even greater humiliation for the Phoenix God Clan!

If it weren’t for Ten Thousand Moons’s relationship with Qin Mu, Extreme Phoenix would have directly told anyone else to get lost!

If it weren’t for the Metaverse and the Nine Great Clans, Extreme Phoenix would have unhesitatingly attacked and killed the other party!

As for the heart of eternity, as a Soul-type Spirit Treasure, its effect in guarding the Soul is already extremely strong. The effect of the phoenix god pill overlaps with the Spirit Treasure, making its significance small, and there are other Medicinal Pills and rare treasures that can replace it.

Therefore, normally, the price of a phoenix god pill would not exceed a cosmic spirit treasure, and it might not even be able to be exchanged for an ordinary cosmic Secret Treasure.

Thinking of this, a bad premonition instantly arose in Extreme Phoenix’s heart:

"Qin Mu is in trouble!?"

"Yes...!" Ten Thousand Moons had nothing left to hide now.

Urgent, truly urgent!

Any more idle talk would only delay Qin Mu’s Life.

"Extreme Phoenix Divine Venerable, since you have joined the Human Race, you are one of us."

"Qin Mu is a Human Race Prodigy, and you said he has Phoenix God Bloodline, so you shouldn’t stand by and do nothing..." Ten Thousand Moons couldn’t name a price, so she could only appeal to emotions.

"No!"

Extreme Phoenix slammed her palm down horizontally, angrily saying: "How can you be such a teacher!? How could Qin Mu be in trouble~!"

"Damn it!"

"Give me the coordinates, arriving immediately!!"

Huh?

Coordinates?

"Then... what about the Medicinal Pill?" Ten Thousand Moons hadn’t reacted yet. After all, the price hadn’t been discussed, so why were they talking about the address?

"Of course, it’s all coming together!"

Extreme Phoenix’s Phoenix eyes widened: "How serious is the situation? Are eight enough?!"

"Eight... eight?!"

Ten Thousand Moons couldn’t help but open her mouth wide: "Enough... No! Hard to say, best to bring them all!"

"No problem!"

Extreme Phoenix said urgently: "Send me the coordinates!"

"Mm, this is my token at the Cosmic Bank, direct access." Ten Thousand Moons handed over the token coordinates, thought for a moment, and still decided to ask.

Without discussing the price, she felt uneasy.

What if Extreme Phoenix demanded a price in person then, delaying Qin Mu’s time!

"Extreme Phoenix Divine Venerable, what’s the price? Give me a definitive answer."

"Price?"

Heh.

As Extreme Phoenix’s figure slowly disappeared, she left behind a sentence: "Seven Divine Venerables of my clan are all coming out. As many phoenix god pills as needed will be given."

"Is this a matter of price?"

"Tell Qin Mu, consider it our clan’s advance dowry~"

Hiss... Dowry?

Ten Thousand Moons’s mind instantly became quite muddled: "Is this dowry she’s talking about a proper dowry?"
