His tentacles began to gain texture, and his umbrella gradually regained its original fluorescence.

Finally, when the light faded, the high priest's spirit had transformed into a real body.

He slowly swayed his tentacles, savoring the long-lost sense of solidity.

Although weak, he was full of hope for the future.

“Thank you,” the high priest said, his voice tinged with emotion. “I haven’t felt this real presence in a long time.”

Shen Jue shrugged: "No need to thank me, this is just part of the deal. Now, it's your turn to fulfill your promise."

The high priest nodded, and with a gentle flick of his tentacles, a portal of light suddenly appeared behind the stone tablet.

He led Shen Jue through the portal and into a huge cave.

The cave is filled with all sorts of rare resources, including fluorescent corals, deep-sea minerals containing powerful energy, and even many rare divine herbs.

Shennong gloves, wait for me!

"This is the secret vault of our Jellyfish Clan," the High Priest said. "You may freely choose the resources you need."

Shen Jue glanced at the mountains of rare ores piled up in the secret vault, then lightly tapped the surface of the Destiny Stele with his fingertips: "I want Sea Marrow Crystal Ore."

The high priest smiled and said, "Of course."

Seeing that the High Priest genuinely wanted her to freely take the resources here, Shen Jue felt reassured.

She recited the names of the dishes she needed, and with each name she mentioned, the smile on the high priest's face faded a little!

He promised to let Shen Jue take the resources from the secret vault, so that no matter how much the other party took, he wouldn't show it.

He should keep smiling, especially since the other person saved him. If it were the old him, in his previous state, his spirit would have dissipated from the world in no time. After all, the other person was his savior. It's fine that they gave him these divine medicines and minerals; it's not like he can't find them again later.

The high priest comforted himself in this way. Just as he had calmed himself down, he saw Shen Jue's eyes fixed on the most valuable item in the secret vault—deep-sea condensed crystal.

The deep-sea condensed crystal emitted a faint glow, and seven crystal fragments floated around it; the faint glow was emitted by the crystal fragments.

The high priest was heartbroken. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "The parent vein of this deep-sea condensed crystal was contaminated a thousand years ago. If you take it, you might become infected with the virus. Are you sure you want it...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Jue waved his hand, and the Deep Sea Cold Crystal, which had been standing still, flew to Shen Jue's front in a flash, and the seven crystal fragments bloomed one by one.

"Huh?!" The high priest was shocked, because just now, he had witnessed the legendary scene.

Legend has it that when deep-sea condensed crystals meet a destined person, they can open up crystal clusters. He used to think it was just a rumor and never took it to heart. But now he has actually seen it.

Looking at the seven petals floating up and down in front of Shen Jue, the High Priest had to admit that Shen Jue was really lucky, actually managing to make the Deep Sea Cold Crystal recognize him as its master.

No matter how surprised the high priest was, it was already a fait accompli.

Shen Jue was very satisfied with the attitude of the deep-sea condensed crystal knowledge expert; a treasure delivered to one's door is always a good thing.

However, the aura emanating from this thing made her very uncomfortable. In order to make it comfortable to wear, Shen Jue once again changed the High Priest's mind.

Shen Jue's actions in purifying the deep-sea condensed crystal once again stunned the High Priest.
