Just like in Sea Temple, Yang Kai requested Sea God Palace provide him with some materials, and a third Space Array, as well as several Transmission Tokens, were produced inside Sea God Palace a few days later.
With Space Arrays in Sea Temple and Sea God Palace, High Heaven Sect was now able to obtain massive amounts of deep-sea resources anytime it wanted.
Now, whether these resources were used or sold, High Heaven Sect would never lose money. In fact, using this trade route, it would be possible for High Heaven Sect to rapidly expand its available materials, making it so that its disciples never had to worry about having enough cultivation resources to use.
This was an advantage that no other Sect on Shadowed Star possessed!
Yang Kai did not intend to stay in Sea God Palace for long, so after he finished arranging the Space Array, he bid farewell to Lie Kong and prepared to depart.
However, before leaving, something unexpected happened.
The little dolphin came swimming up to Yang Kai’s side with a bead in her mouth and handed it to him.
This bead was the size of a fist and was azure blue, just like the deep sea. Although this bead was not very large, after it was pushed into his hand, Yang Kai discovered that it was actually extremely heavy. What’s more, he could hear the sound of crashing waves coming from it and could sense an extremely rich Water Attribute energy inside of it.
After seeing this bead, Lie Kong, Qian Mo, and Shang Ao, who were all present to see Yang Kai off, wore solemn expressions.
Many others who were present also showed nervous expressions.
“This… I can’t accept it,” Yang Kai smiled slightly as he gently rubbed the little dolphin’s head.
Although he did not know what the story behind this bead was, he could tell from the looks on everyone’s faces that its value was definitely not trivial. He had just managed to establish a cooperative relationship with Sea God Palace so rashly accepting such a heavy gift would likely only make the Sea Clan unhappy.
The main reason Yang Kai refused though was because this gift was given to him by the little dolphin. The little dolphin only had the mental age of a young child and acted entirely based on its personal preferences. In short, she could not represent the wishes of the entire Sea Clan.
If this bead had been given to him by Lie Kong personally, Yang Kai would have gladly accepted it.
Seeing Yang Kai tactfully refuse, the leaders of the Sea Clan all showed relieved expressions.
The little dolphin, however, refused to give up, making a series of rapid cries as if to say it would not rest until Yang Kai accepted her gift.
Yang Kai tried hard to persuade her, but the little dolphin absolutely would not take the bead back, soon even shedding tears of unhappiness, putting Yang Kai in an incredibly awkward position, and forcing him to turn to Lie Kong for help.
Lie Kong anxiously looked at the little dolphin for a while before eventually his expression softened and he spoke, “Since Sect Master Yang has such a close relationship with my daughter, please accept her gift. It is clear that if Sect Master Yang does not accept it, she will be very sad; after all, Sect Master Yang is her lifesaver. Sect Master Yang need not refuse.”
Yang Kai frowned for a moment before asking, “May I ask what this thing is and what its function is?”
“This is one of the treasures of my Sea God Palace, the Sea God Bead, and while it may not be of much use to Sect Master Yang personally, anyone who cultivates Water Attribute Secret Arts or Secret Techniques will benefit greatly from it. This is a piece of the source of the sea, so the Water Attribute energy it contains is not only extremely pure, but also almost inexhaustible. The Sea God Bead was a birthday gift this King gave his daughter two years ago, so it is her personal property and she has every right to gift it to Sect Master Yang,” Lie Kong explained.
“The source of the sea…” Yang Kai’s eyes flashed, “This thing truly is of great use to me, so this Yang will not refuse.”
Lie Kong smiled and nodded.
The other leaders of the Sea Clean, seeing how matters had already gotten this far, had no objections in the end.
“However, this Sea God Bead is still a bit too precious for this Yang Kai to simply accept, so this Yang will exchange it for five hundred Origin Grade Shadowed Heaven Pills. What does Palace Master Lie Kong think?”
“Five hundred Origin Grade Shadowed Heaven Pills?” Lie Kong’s eyes lit up this time.
The expressions of many of the Sea Clan leaders also suddenly became excited.
