Chapter 1386 - 568: Taiyin Water! The Country of Ten Thousand Islands’ Auction!

Chapter 1386: Chapter 568: Taiyin Water! The Country of Ten Thousand Islands’ Auction!

Su Ping’s brow furrowed slightly, but Jiao Ji, who was standing to the side, suddenly became full of Spirit.

"Su Ping, that saying from your Dragon Nation is spot on. You can search high and low to no avail, only for it to fall right into your lap! I was just wondering where to get this Taiyin Water, and I didn’t expect it to just show up on its own. HEH!"

Indeed, Taiyin Water was one of the required resource materials in the method Su Ping created for Jiao Ji to sever the connection between her clone and main body. Since this item had delivered itself right to his doorstep, there was naturally no reason for him to miss out on it.

However, Dong Muyun had also come to this Country of Ten Thousand Islands? And she was with the Golden Association?

Of course, Dong Muyun’s operations were mostly discussed with the Mad Saint. More often than not, Su Ping didn’t really interfere. He just truly hadn’t expected that this woman would quietly come to this godforsaken place without making a sound.

Thinking of this, Su Ping looked at Jiao Ji. "Senior, where is Liuli Island?"

Jiao Ji shrugged. "How would I know? The naming conventions of human nations don’t hold much meaning to me. But, if we want to go there, wouldn’t it be fine to just follow those guys up ahead?"

Liuli Island.

It was the largest island among the Western island blocs in the Country of Ten Thousand Islands. Its total area was roughly the size of a standard province in the Dragon Nation. At the same time, among the hundreds and thousands of human-inhabited islands in the Western region, it was the central hub, acting as the core island of the Western region of the Country of Ten Thousand Islands. The ruler commanding this place was called the Governor. He was one of the true kings of this ocean, as well as a Holy Spirit Level Beastmaster of the Country of Ten Thousand Islands.

Today, however, this largest Western island was exceptionally bustling.

In this massive island city stretching above the port, lanterns and colored banners adorned the streets. Meanwhile, out on the boundless ocean, ship after ship advanced rapidly in this direction. Clearly, this was enough to prove that a major event was taking place here.

In fact, that was exactly the case.

At the center of Liuli Island, within several of the most luxurious villa estates, a group of people sat around a waterfall tea table in the front estate, chatting idly while having afternoon tea.

Undoubtedly, the most eye-catching among them was the man and woman at the forefront.

Dong Muyun smiled as she looked at the brown-haired man before her, who was clearly of mixed heritage. The latter also looked at the Dragon Nation woman before him with extreme enthusiasm.

"Respected Miss Dong, I truly didn’t expect you to be so young! To think that at your age, you managed to run the Pingyun Company to such a level within a short Time of less than two years.

"Just as Mr. Shen said, you are a once-in-a-lifetime business genius!"

Dong Muyun hurriedly waved her hand. "Mr. Merck, you flatter me! The main reason Pingyun Company has achieved its current success is primarily due to Breeder Su’s contributions.

"It’s also because the quality of Pingyun Company’s products is indeed quite good. Because of this, I wanted to uphold Breeder Su’s philosophy.

"I want to promote so many potion commodities—which offer immense improvements and benefits to Pet Beasts and Beastmasters—to the Country of Ten Thousand Islands!

"At the same time, I hope it will ensure that the friendship between the Country of Ten Thousand Islands, especially the Western island blocs, and our Dragon Nation remains as solid as a mountain!"

"HAHAHAHA! Miss Dong, you are far too modest. However, I have already heard of Breeder Su’s great name!" the brown-haired man named Merck said quickly. "Only a place as rich in talent and blessed by nature as the Dragon Nation could produce a genius like Breeder Su! It is truly a stroke of luck for the Beastmasters and Pet Beasts of the Country of Ten Thousand Islands to be able to enjoy the fruits of Breeder Su’s labor. HAHAHA."

No one felt the slightest bit of discomfort at such blatant flattery. Even the other members of the Dragon Country Gold Association who had tagged along nodded in deep agreement. This included the Shanhe Group’s chairman from the Golden Association sitting at the head seat, a bigshot whose mere stomp in the Central Plains provinces could trigger an earthquake.

Shen Qiu nodded. "Breeder Su’s Ability is naturally beyond doubt. Even the Master of the Holy Dragon values him greatly. His future prospects are boundless. However, a bigshot like him is currently a bit out of reach for us. Merck, what kind of good stuff is at this auction?"

"Old Shen, you’re being a little unruly now!" Merck smacked his lips.

"Cut it out, are you really playing this game with me? Tell me, what good stuff did you guys get your hands on this time? Otherwise, I’m taking Miss Dong and heading straight back home!"

"HAHAHA, don’t rush, don’t rush! Haven’t the previous Spirit Saint Level materials and resources already been released?" Merck shook his head, seemingly feeling quite helpless about his old friend’s impatience.

"How could your Country of Ten Thousand Islands’ annual auction only have Spirit Saint Level resources?" Shen Qiu was clearly extremely familiar with the Country of Ten Thousand Islands, the most chaotic Beastmaster zone on Blue Star.

Merck let out a hearty laugh. "That’s true, but this time, there really is a fantastic item up for the auction!"

"Oh?"

Merck smiled, deliberately acting mysterious. "This is one of the latest scientific research breakthroughs from the Eagle Country, as well as the newest research achievement for technological Mechanical Pet Beasts! It is also an unprecedented blueprint for a Mechanical Pet Beast. Although it is merely a conceptual model, its value is astronomically high!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Qiu’s eyes lit up, as did Dong Muyun’s.

Breakthroughs regarding Mechanical Pet Beasts were worth paying attention to at any Time. This was especially true since it was the latest achievement from the Eagle Country, the Beastmaster nation currently at the absolute forefront of Controlling Beasts of the Mechanical category.

After this was said, Shen Qiu pondered for a moment, then looked at Dong Muyun and spoke with a smiling expression, "Previously, I heard you mention, Miss Dong, that Breeder Su’s Jiao Long seemed to have sustained damage and is currently still undergoing repairs, right?"

Dong Muyun’s heart stirred. Had she ever mentioned this matter to these people?

However, the matter of the Dong Family’s Mirror Ancestor taking charge of the Qintian Monitor was indeed true. The causes and consequences weren’t exactly difficult for prominent figures in the Dragon Nation to find out.

The news that Su Ping’s Jiao Long, which had been parked atop the mountain, suffered internal damage due to the appearance of that Secret Realm and was now under repair, wasn’t exactly a heavily guarded secret. It wasn’t hard to uncover.

Seeing Dong Muyun nod, Shen Qiu directly patted his chest. "In that case, considering Breeder Su has made so many outstanding contributions to the Dragon Nation, my Shanhe Group, as a part of the Dragon Nation, should naturally help Breeder Su with some small matters within our capabilities!

"Although I don’t know whether this auction item Brother Merck mentioned will actually be able to help Breeder Su, no matter what, my Shanhe Group and our colleagues in the Golden Association will definitely do our utmost to help Miss Dong secure this item!

"When the time comes, if it can provide even a little bit of assistance to Breeder Su, it would be an honor for all of us!"

Upon hearing this, Dong Muyun’s mind raced like lightning. She nodded in apparent agreement, but then shook her head helplessly. "Since that’s the case, then thank you very much, Chairman Shen. Su Ping previously complained to me that the interior of the Jiao Long is extremely unique. Even within our Dragon Nation’s Mechanics Association, it’s very difficult to completely repair it back to its pristine condition.

"Not to mention, Su Ping has brought up more than once that the Jiao Long’s current strength is insufficient, and its usual speed and combat capabilities are no longer suited for him.

"If we can obtain more advanced insights and technology for Breeding Mechanical Pet Beasts, that would naturally be for the best!

"If everything works out when the time comes, I will properly express my gratitude to Chairman Shen and the various colleagues of the Golden Association in front of Su Ping!"

Upon hearing this, a profound glint flashed through the depths of Shen Qiu’s eyes. However, he quickly narrowed his smiling eyes into slits. Beneath his gold-rimmed glasses, he looked just like a smiling old fox as he nodded.

"That’s good, that’s good."
