Chapter 622 (1/2)
After Treasure Seizing Conference, the most important part of the Sea Race Convention, the trade conference, truly started.
Therefore, Long Yi met Sea Emperor after a day. This trade conference was a high-cla.s.s trade fair. All the forces of Undersea City that were qualified to partic.i.p.ate in this trade fair gathered together.
With the status of the seller of Rainbow Jellyfishes, Long Yi gained the right to partic.i.p.ate. And as a matter of fact, Sea Emperor had requested Long Yi to differentiate sides, i.e., which forces were attached to the Sea Emperor, which forces were attached to Shark Clan, Whale Clan, and s.h.i.+hun Clan, and also which forces were neutral.
Honestly speaking, Long Yi was not that interested in performing this task. He even hated this kind of political fight. Since Heavenly Demon King was sealed in the seabed, and he had to unite all sea clans, he chose to stand on the side of the Sea Emperor.
But, the schemes of the Sea Emperor were honestly too deep. Besides, Long Yi had just emptied his treasury. Clearly, he must be having a heartache with blood dripping out of his heart. He looked indifferent on the surface, but a hint of peculiar hatred would occasionally flash when he glanced at Long Yi.
The treasures that appeared in this trade conference were all extraordinary, but they were useless to Long Yi. Finally, seven Rainbow Jellyfishes appeared in the auction, causing a sensation. These were priceless treasures for certain sea clans which knew how to refine poison.
”I bid two first-cla.s.s sea essence mines and a hundred thousand-year-old fire coral.” The Patriarch of Shark Clan, Demon Shark, took the initiative to stand and bid. Rainbow Jellyfishes were rarely seen in recent hundred or so years. Now, seven appeared in this auction, so he was determined to win.
”I say, Demon Shark, those lousy things are good enough for just one Rainbow Jellyfish. If you want to obtain all seven with those lousy things, then you might as well rob them.” The Patriarch of Miluo Clan sneered. A poison refined from one Rainbow Jellyfish could poison all living creatures within several square kilometers to death without anybody's cognizance. What was even more terrifying; this poison could not only enter the body via inhalation, it could also enter via the skin. This poison was so poisonous that it could instantly kill a strong person upon contact. As for the poison refined from all seven Rainbow Jellyfishes, that was even more horrifying. Looking from this perspective, the bid of Shark Patriarch was truly too low.
After the Miluo Patriarch spoke, all the other people also made remarks in succession.
”I bid a sea ice essence mine and one thousand kilometers fertile land located in the northwest region of Undersea City.” It was the patriarch of s.h.i.+hun Clan who increased the bid next. Although s.h.i.+hun Clan was allied with Shark Clan, they still competed against each other. If they were able to get these seven Rainbow Jellyfishes and refine poison, then that in itself would become a kind of deterrence.
Demon Shark ferociously glared at s.h.i.+hun Patriarch and snorted, ”s.h.i.+hun, you only have two sea ice essence mines, and as far as I know, one among them is almost empty. I wonder which one you are using to bid?”
”I, s.h.i.+hun Zi am not using the almost empty mine to bid, so Demon Shark, don't use your heart of small man to gauge the belly of a gentleman,” the patriarch of s.h.i.+hun Clan sharply retorted.
Long Yi had already met the patriarchs of several sea clans under the hint of the Sea Emperor and made acquaintances with them. Now, he was at one corner of this trading hall, coldly watching everyone fight for Rainbow Jellyfishes.
Suddenly, Long Yi felt a chill on his back, and an ice-cold feeling spread throughout his body. Also, the spiritual connection with Liuli unexpectedly was forcibly broken at the same time.
Long Yi was greatly alarmed. He instantly disappeared from the spot and rushed towards the residence of Miluo Clan using Great Cosmos s.h.i.+ft with all his strength.
