The appearance of the faint light made Chen Ping smile involuntarily, after all, if a pearl light appeared, there must be something good inside.
Chen Ping carefully pried open the seashell, revealing a faint glow inside, followed by a deep blue crystal. Although not a divine artifact, the rich water-attribute energy emanating from it caught the attention of many cultivators present. Some whispered that it might be a high-grade refining material or a rare elixir.
Immediately, a knowledgeable person in the crowd exclaimed, "That's the Heart of the Azure Sea! It's an excellent material for refining water-attribute magic weapons or enhancing one's water-based spell cultivation!"
"Heart of the Azure? Ah! I remember there was one at the last Illusionary Mist Auction, right? I think it sold for 1.5 million gold coins."
"I'm so envious! The Abyss Shells in that little pond actually yielded such amazing items. What a steal!"
Chen Ping looked at the Azure Heart in his hand and nodded. Not bad, it was a good start.
He then turned to look at the four elven guards beside him, whose eyes also gleamed with excitement and anticipation. Chen Ping smiled and said to them, "Looks like my luck isn't so bad after all, haha. Now let's see what treasures you can find from these abyssal shells."
Upon hearing this, the four elven guards couldn't help but smile, looking expectantly at the Abyss Shell in front of them, wondering if it would emit a glow.
One of the elven guards, wielding a small dagger, gently sliced open the shell of the clam before him. As the shell slowly opened, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats. However, this time, instead of the anticipated luster, a pearl with an unusual glow rolled out.
The other elven guard appeared more cautious. She closed her eyes, seemingly sensing the shell in her hand, before slowly opening it. This time, a faint but clearly visible light emanated from the shell, immediately eliciting gasps of amazement and envy from the crowd.
The remaining two elves exchanged a glance and suddenly felt an immense pressure.
One of the elven guards straightened her back, confidently picked up the Abyss Shell in front of her, and silently murmured, "The island lord's good fortune will surely infect us, let us also unleash the light of the shell!" After saying that, she gently opened the shell.
As the shell slowly opened, a dazzling and bright light appeared, eliciting a murmur from the crowd. This was the dazzling light of a divine artifact, and everyone looked excitedly at the Abyss Shell, which had only opened a crack, wishing it were theirs.
The elven guard blushed with excitement. She knew it! Hehe, and amidst everyone's anticipation, the elven guard took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and suddenly opened the Abyss Shell completely in her hand.
A magnificent longsword floated silently in the seashell. Its blade was as deep and blue as the sea, and its surface shimmered with a beautiful halo like the morning glow. The hilt was inlaid with marine gemstones such as conch shells and corals, and it was about 1.2 meters long.
The surrounding customers cast envious glances and whispered amongst themselves. Some praised its magnificent design and powerful energy fluctuations, while others lamented their own lack of such luck. This was a divine artifact, a weapon-type divine artifact at that; they were incredibly envious.
Chen Ping picked it up, examined it, and said, "Hmm, not bad, a mid-level artifact." He then handed it to the elven guard and smiled, "Since you found it, this artifact is yours."
The elven guard accepted the divine longsword Chen Ping handed her, looking at him with a mixture of surprise and gratitude. She held the longsword, which gleamed with a deep blue light, in both hands, feeling the power flowing within it, her heart pounding with excitement. Those around them, witnessing this scene, cast envious and jealous glances at the elven guard. Good heavens, this was a mid-level divine artifact! He just casually bestowed it upon her?
......
Chen Ping was quite satisfied with the results of opening the Abyss Shells. The two divine artifacts, along with the Heart of the Azure and two Abyss Pearls, were undoubtedly a rich harvest. He looked at the four elven guards, whose eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation, especially the one holding the intermediate-level divine artifact, who seemed eager to uncover the secrets of the remaining 15 Abyss Shells.
And so, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the five continued this thrilling game, full of unknown surprises. Each time a seashell opened, it was like the unveiling of an adventure, accompanied by the splashing of water, flashes of light, and a mix of emotions among the crowd.
As each hidden shell was opened, the atmosphere in the shop grew increasingly lively. Some cheered with joy at finding something good, while others, with a sense of disappointment, pinned their hopes on the next shell. Through repeated attempts, Chen Ping and his group not only accumulated a wealth of treasures,
After all the Abyss Shells had been opened, Chen Ping left the store with some regret. He hadn't expected that there was a limit to the number of Abyss Shells that each person could only buy a maximum of ten.
Although Chen Ping felt somewhat disappointed that he couldn't buy more abyssal shells, he understood the shop owner's decision. After all, precious resources need to be used and protected rationally to ensure the stability and sustainable development of the market.
After leaving the shop, Chen Ping and the four elven guards tallied up their spoils for the day: 3 divine artifacts, 4 semi-divine artifacts, 3 Azure Hearts, 14 Abyss Pearls, and some other valuable materials. The haul was decent; getting 3 divine artifacts for just a few gold coins made Chen Ping quite satisfied.
The three artifacts—one superior and two intermediate—are already incredibly profitable.
Chen Ping stroked his chin and laughed, "You guys think we should let Lu Shu, Linafeier, and the others come and try their luck later, to see if their luck is as good as ours, haha."
The four elven guards smiled knowingly upon hearing this. They knew Chen Ping not only wanted to share his good fortune but also to create more opportunities for interaction and fun for the team members. One of the elven guards replied, "The island lord's suggestion is excellent. I believe Chief Deertree and the other chiefs will be happy to participate in such an activity. After all, searching for treasure in the unknown is always incredibly exciting."
Another elven guard laughed and said, "After all, our Heart of the Divine Island is not short of money. As for the Abyss Shell that can open up a superior artifact, Chief Deer Tree will definitely buy it, regardless of what happens next."
“That’s right, that’s right. The clan leader would definitely not let go of something that can increase the strength of the Heart of the Divine Island. Even if there is only a one percent chance of obtaining a divine artifact with gold coins, the clan leader would still buy it, not to mention that the drop rate of the Abyss Shell is so high.”
