Chapter 1385: Chapter 568: Taiyin Water! Auction in the Country of Ten Thousand Islands!

PFFT!

Spitting out mouthfuls of dead-salty seawater, Su Ping finally broke the surface and looked up at the azure sky.

Little Flame’s devouring process would likely take a while longer, so Su Ping no longer needed to stay in the submarine volcano. However, he wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Instead, he lingered in this area of the ocean.

Meng Yao had mentioned more than once that the Water Element Pet Beasts bred in his Heart of Myriad Spirits were far too few. The Ray Saint had contributed so much effort to the Heart of Myriad Spirits lately, handling renovations and various other tasks. Su Ping figured he would catch some Water Element Pet Beasts to take back; once the Rainbow Dragon’s Evolution was complete, he could see if any of them were suitable for Breeding. Furthermore, when the Haina Baichuan Breeding eventually required experimental subjects, these Pet Beasts would come in handy.

He spent a long time catching Pet Beasts, starting when the sky was still murky and shrouded in Darkness, all the way until it was broad daylight and the sun was high in the sky.

This was Su Ping’s first time realizing just how incredibly useful this underwater walking Ability truly was. It wasn’t just him—his Pet Beasts were also empowered under these conditions, granting them a great deal of unrestricted mobility and combat prowess underwater. It was indeed very handy.

Jiao Ji couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to Su Ping’s frolicsome behavior, merely curling her lips in disdain. She recalled what he had said back at the Heart of Myriad Spirits. He had claimed he wanted to return as quickly as possible within three days because he had a lot of things to take care of at home. And what was the result? After arriving at the Endless Sea Domain and personally wandering through the ocean, he was suddenly in no rush to go back. Still, if Su Ping wasn’t in a hurry, she naturally wouldn’t be in a rush either.

However, just as Su Ping was still reveling in the joy of catching Pet Beasts by hand, both he and Jiao Ji—who had blended into the seawater—suddenly looked toward the distance.

An immensely massive ship was rapidly approaching from afar. Its speed wasn’t exactly lightning-fast, but on its bow stood two figures. Neither of them seemed to expect that in this godforsaken middle of nowhere, amidst the boundless sea, an Emperor Level Beastmaster would be wearing a tank top and a pair of large trunks, casually catching fish in the water. Because of this, they hadn’t bothered to isolate their conversation with spiritual power.

The Country of Ten Thousand Islands was a rather unique place. Throughout its history, countless small Beastmaster Kingdoms had emerged here, alongside various civilizations. For example, the so-called Elephant Kingdom that Su Ping had learned about earlier was one of them. It was extremely difficult for such Beastmaster Kingdoms to achieve true unification, but throughout the rise or fall of these nations, Jiuzhou had always been involved. As a result, many of the relics left behind in these nations and across the Country of Ten Thousand Islands were inextricably linked to the Dragon Nation, including their cultural heritage.

Therefore, even though the two figures on the bow spoke with a somewhat peculiar accent, they were actually speaking the genuine language of the Dragon Nation. Su Ping heard them loud and clear. What surprised him even more was the content of their conversation.

"Ah Ming, is the news from Liuli Island really confirmed? Why was the Liuli Island auction moved up by a few days?"

"It’s true. I heard it’s because news came from the Dragon Nation’s Golden Association. Mr. Shen, who has worked with us for many years, is back again. Rumor has it he brought along a highly capable, newly established company from the Dragon Nation, and their products are incredibly effective! I think it’s called Pingyun Company or something."

"Hmph. So what if the Dragon Nation’s products are good? We won’t make the lion’s share of the profits anyway. Still, I heard that Governor Merck of the western island bloc in the Country of Ten Thousand Islands hosted this auction early specifically to entertain these people from the Dragon Country Gold Association! There will be a lot of rare treasures!"

"Yeah! I heard many bigshots from the Country of Ten Thousand Islands have arrived, including the Governors of various sectors!"

"Bigshots like that are too far out of our league. But for this auction, rumor has it there will be a Holy Spirit Level Resource, right?"

"Exactly. According to what Sada secretly revealed, it seems there’s going to be a top-tier Water Element Holy Spirit Level Resource like Taiyin Water at this auction!"

"Taiyin Water? Good lord! That’s the most commonly used resource for Holy Spirit Level Water Element Evolutionary Bodies like the Taiyin Water Spirit! Governor Merck has really brought out quite a few good things for this auction!"

"Brother Zhixiong, you might not know this, but these aren’t just Governor Merck’s items. Mainly, the other Governors of the Country of Ten Thousand Islands came together and pooled some of their own treasures to welcome those people from the Dragon Nation!"

"Oh? Why is that? This Golden Association is just an alliance formed by some merchants within the Dragon Nation, isn’t it? I heard their highest rank is only Emperor Level."

"It’s said that the Golden Association member who came this time has a massive background in the Dragon Nation. Not only do they have a Spirit Saint Level family faction to rely on, but the origins of that Pingyun Company are also highly unusual."

"Unusual how?"

"That, I don’t know..."

"Still, the timing for this auction feels a bit rushed!"

"It can’t be helped. How could we possibly understand what those bigshots are thinking?"

The massive ship drifted gently across the sea’s surface. The two Monarch Peak Beastmasters naturally failed to realize that beneath the waves, a strand of spiritual power had caught every word of their conversation.
