Chapter 18 Large tracts of pearl oysters
"No time, I have other things to do!"
Su Qian's patience was almost exhausted after the fight with the starfish.
Her current physical strength could not support her staying in the sea for too long. She did not find the pearl she was looking for, so how could she have the time to accompany this old starfish that had lived for thousands of years!
"Little girl, what's wrong with you? Tell me and let me help you. I just want to find someone to talk to!"
The six-pointed starfish held Su Qian's arm tightly and chattered, "You don't know, for thousands of years, I was hunted by the Sea Emperor and fled to this sea area, and I have never been able to communicate with this old man again!"
Sea royal family?
What is that?
Su Qian was slightly surprised, but did not ask.
She has more important things to do now. "I need to find blood-red corals and pearl oysters. Can you help me?"
"Of course you can! Little girl, let me tell you, I have been in this sea for thousands of years and I know this place very well! As long as you don't chase me away, I will help you!"
When the starfish heard about this, he spoke quickly, his voice calm and confident.
"I don't have the strength to stay in the sea for too long! I have to go back to the shore eventually, and then we will go our separate ways!"
Su Qian said softly.
"It's nothing, just remember to come and see me from time to time!"
The six-pointed starfish's voice was open-minded. "After thousands of years of loneliness, it's rare for me to meet a child who talks to me. I feel very comforted. Let's go. I'll take you to find the coral!"
Afterwards, it let go of Su Qian's hand and swam forward, "Come here quickly, follow me!"
Su Qian swam forward following it. They passed through several coral colonies and finally stopped in front of the largest coral colony!
"Little girl, this is the chicken blood red coral you want!"
The six-pointed starfish lay back on Su Qian's arm, chattering, "I don't know why you want this thing. It can't be eaten or used. Do you think I can love you?"
Su Qian didn't listen to its chatter and directly reached out his hand towards the red coral in front of him.
The screen in my mind flashed, and a line of words appeared: Top-grade chicken blood red coral, worth 1,000 taels, is it on the shelf?
It must be!
1000 taels!
Su Qian made a decisive choice.
Soon, the amount in her account concerning silver became 1010.
Su Qian looked at the number and nodded with satisfaction. It was enough for them to buy a lot of things in the market!
Unfortunately, the money in this account cannot be cashed, so she still has to find a town that can be used to go to Haiping for shopping and buy a fishing boat.
"Hey, little girl, how did you do that?"
Looking at the corals that suddenly disappeared in front of him, the six-pointed starfish asked in surprise.
Afterwards, it climbed up Su Qian's arm and lay down on Su Qian's neck.
Looking at the jade pendant that Su Qian slightly revealed, it said with a tone of sudden enlightenment, "So that's how it is. No wonder you can understand what I say!"
Su Qian turned her head and looked at the starfish lying on her shoulder. "Do you recognize this jade pendant?"
"Of course! Looking at you like this, you probably don't even know the origin of this jade pendant! Since you don't know, I won't say any more. When the time comes, you will naturally know!"
This time, the six-pointed starfish's voice was cautious and he no longer called himself "old man".
Su Qian looked at the jade pendant around his neck in confusion. This jade pendant seemed to have an extraordinary origin!
"Oh, right! Why do you hang such an important thing around your neck? Why don't you keep it inside your body?"
The six-pointed starfish asked again in a soft, puzzled voice.
"Can this be stored inside the body?"
Su Qian raised her eyebrows. This six-pointed starfish seemed to know a lot!
"Of course you can. Just say 'take it in' in your mind and it will be taken into your body. Try it!"
Hearing this, Su Qian stared at the jade pendant and thought to himself, "Take it!"
Afterwards, she felt a burning sensation on her left arm, and only a red string remained of the jade pendant hanging around her neck.
When he lifted the sleeve of his left arm, he saw a pattern on his left arm that was exactly the same as the jade pendant.
Su Qian subconsciously touched the pattern with his right hand. It was convex and had a jade texture.
It's good, but it's too conspicuous when hung around the neck.
"You are indeed from that family!"
The six-pointed starfish confirmed it again, and it breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that I don't need to escape anymore! I am now a powerful person! Let's go, I will take you to find the pearl oyster!"
Su Qian's face was filled with black lines.
This old starfish is not a good person!
On one hand, he didn't let me know anything about the jade pendant, and on the other hand, he kept me in suspense.
She didn't say anything, but quietly followed the six-pointed starfish towards the direction of the pearl oyster.
"Well, you are a good little girl. You are determined and calm. You are a promising young girl!"
Seeing that Su Qian ignored it, the six-pointed starfish finally stopped chattering and swam forward with her.
Soon, after passing through countless coral reefs, the starfish took her into a wonderful sea area.
There were light pink jellyfish everywhere, dancing gracefully on the seabed.
"Little girl, be careful, don't touch them. They look pretty, but they are poisonous! Once you pass this group of jellyfish, you will reach the sea where pearl oysters are produced."
The six-pointed starfish carefully shuttled among the jellyfish, whispering instructions to Su Qian.
Su Qian nodded helplessly, and once again used the water control technique to create a protective bubble outside his body.
With the isolation protection of the bubble, she controlled the bubble to follow the six-pointed starfish closely.
After passing through the swarm of jellyfish, Su Qian came to a beautiful underwater beach, which was densely packed with pearl clams of all sizes!
"Okay, little girl. This is the pearl oyster group! Let me tell you in secret, this sea area is actually my private territory. I love this kind of shiny things the most!"
The six-pointed starfish circled and danced in front of Su Qian. "Take as many as you like."
Upon hearing that this was the territory of the six-pointed starfish, Su Qian hesitated, "Is this your territory?"
"Well, that's right! If you want, just take it. Just consider it as my fee for currying favor with you! By the way!"
The six-pointed starfish thought for a moment, then dug into a raised pile of sand and said, "Here is part of my private collection. You can take it all!"
Su Qian was stunned when she saw the egg-sized pearl emerging from the sand!
Isn't this the legendary Dongzhu?
This is a priceless pearl!
I didn't expect that if I just dug this six-pointed starfish open, there would be twenty or thirty of them!
There are also several rare black pearls mixed in!
At this moment, the screen in my mind lit up.
