After wandering around the center for a while, carefully searching for newly formed corals, Chen Ping discovered a rather special coral. In this coral island, this was the only coral that was monochromatic.

It stands out somewhat among the colorful corals around it.

Yes, Chen Ping looked at the black coral in front of him. That's right, what caught Chen Ping's attention was its black appearance, which made it look very mysterious.

However, he was unsure about the quality of the coral. After all, blood coral is a single-color coral, but it was only of blue quality and could only purify water, not generate spiritual energy.

After thinking it over, Chen Ping decided to choose the black coral. Anyway, with An Lula and the others around, it wouldn't make much difference whether he had one less or one more.

[Obtain Black Soul Coral]

"That name sounds pretty cool, doesn't it?"

After making his choice, Chen Ping went upstream. Once he left the coral island, the entire island began to slowly disappear.

It turns out the mermaids had already chosen their corals, and Chen Ping was the slowest.

When the mermaids saw a merman rush out of the coral island, they were all puzzled. Strange, where is the island's master?

Chen Ping quickly swam up to the mermaids.

Anlula: "Island Master, what quality of coral did you choose?"

The mermaids behind Anlula were all surprised, and then began to discuss it in disbelief.

"Island Lord? Ah, isn't the Island Lord human?"

"Hmm, is this mermaid the island's owner? Oh, how beautiful she is."

"Yeah, it's so beautiful. I've decided, the clan leader won't be my wife anymore, the island lord will be, hehehe~"

"Ah, Yuna, you're just daydreaming again."

Yuna snorted and then said, "What, didn't you all think that way?"

"Hmph, who among us isn't attracted to good looks? Otherwise, why would we recommend Anlula as the clan leader? Isn't it because she's the prettiest?"

"Although the clan leader is the most powerful among us."

"......"

We just thought to ourselves, "Only Yuna is so bold as to say it out loud."

The other mermaids ignored Yuna and stared at Chen Ping with shining eyes. Some of them had already started secretly using magic to record it.

......

Chen Ping glanced at the coral in An Lula's hand. "Hmm, it's ten-colored coral. Not bad. As expected of a mermaid, she's familiar with coral."

Chen Ping also took out his black coral. An Lula looked at it curiously, and then said somewhat uncertainly.

Anlula: "Black Soul Coral?."

Chen Ping: "Hmm? Chief Anlula, you recognize this coral?"

Anlula: "It really is Black Soul Coral! Amazing! Island Master, your luck is unbelievably good."

"Black Soul Coral is a legendary quality coral. It does not purify water or generate spiritual energy, but it can grow Soul Pearls, which can enhance the soul. It is an extremely rare coral species."

"It is said that the Black Soul Empire, one of the four great mermaid empires, was established in a Black Soul Coral Group. However, no one has ever seen the Black Soul Coral. Nevertheless, the royal family often uses Soul Pearls for trade, so it is quite credible."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping curiously examined the Black Soul Coral. "Is it really that amazing? Let's have it appraised."

[Black Soul Coral: Legendary quality. Adult Black Soul Coral will grow Soul Beads. Absorbing Soul Beads can enhance one's soul strength by a small amount]

[Identification Description: Black Soul Coral. Due to the Soul Pearl, it must grow in sea areas with exceptionally abundant spiritual energy; otherwise, it will be no different from ordinary coral.]

"Wow, looks like we've really struck gold, haha."

Chen Ping showed An Lula the identification results of the Black Soul Coral and handed her the Black Soul Coral as well, since the only place where the Black Soul Coral can grow is in the Crescent Sea.

Let Anlula handle the arrangements; after all, the mermaids are far more professional at this than Chen Ping.

After reviewing the identification results, Anlula took the Black Soul Coral and exclaimed, "It's a good thing you showed me the identification information, Island Master, otherwise I would definitely have separated the Black Soul Coral from the other corals."

Chen Ping: "Okay, let's go back."

After saying that, Chen Ping swam towards the sea, and An Lula and the others immediately followed.

Soon they emerged from the sea and swam towards the crescent-shaped estuary.

Upon returning to Crescent Sea, Anlula immediately made arrangements, settling all the corals in place. The corals they had taken were all mature and capable of producing spiritual energy.

That's right, they chose colorful corals, ranging from one color to ten colors, which are the coral varieties that their group is most familiar with.

However, apart from the clan leader Anlula, the quality of the ones they found was much lower, but they still had a variety of colors.

Chen Ping followed along and, incidentally, granted An Lula the right to create the island, allowing her to also create the island's terrain.

When Anlula received the creation effect, she was amazed and immediately began to create the most suitable terrain for Black Soul Coral.

Anlula originally wanted to find a relatively low-lying area to place the Black Soul Coral there, but now that she has the ability to create things, she doesn't need to go through that trouble anymore; she can just create it herself.

Why a lower elevation? Because this time, with more spiritual corals brought back, Anlula is 100% certain that the spiritual energy in Crescent Sea will be excessive, and excessive spiritual energy will cause the spiritual energy to liquefy.

Since liquefied spiritual energy is heavier than seawater, she needs to create a terrain to draw in the liquefied spiritual energy to nourish the Black Soul Coral.

With the power to create, Anlula quickly created a satisfactory terrain, then carefully placed the Black Soul Coral after placing the colorful corals there.

Looking at the terrain before me, it's quite good, I'm very satisfied. In the future, when the Black Soul Coral starts to grow Soul Orbs, they will gather here after falling down, making it convenient to collect them later.

Once the Soul Bead is completed, it will automatically detach, which is why Anlula designed it this way.

The general terrain is like an island in a lake, and the lake water is, of course, liquid spiritual energy.

After making the arrangements, An Lula went back to find Chen Ping.

Then she saw Chen Ping covered in little mermaids.

Seeing this, Anlula wasn't surprised. After all, the mermaid race was obsessed with looks, and the island lord who had become a merman was even more beautiful than her. How could she not be loved by the little mermaids?

......

Chen Ping looked helplessly at the little mermaids around him. He had been following An Lula along, but suddenly the little mermaids got on his heels.

And the Little Mermaids, they're all spouting lewd and inappropriate language!

"Ah, sister! You're so beautiful, so pretty!"

"Aww, sister, look at me, touch me!"

"Sister! Sister! Are you new here? Do you want to come stay at my house? My house is big!"

"Oh, sister, when I grow up, will you marry me?"

"Aww, big sister, I want a hug, or a kiss, okay?"
