Eirian nodded, his grin now smug rather than playful. "Phoenix Tears," he confirmed, holding the vial up to catch the light. The liquid inside shimmered with a deep, fiery glow as if it held the essence of the legendary creature itself. "Found it deep in the cave, just lying there, waiting for little old me to stumble upon it."
For a moment, no one said anything. The significance of Eirian's discovery was too great. Phoenix Tears were incredibly rare, known for their unparalleled healing properties and their ability to enhance fire element cultivation to levels most could only dream of. The fact that Eirian had found even a single drop was nothing short of miraculous.
