The morning sun shone brightly on the heart of the island. Apart from the lively neighborhood where the young men lived, life on the entire island proceeded as usual. Residents were busy with their own affairs, enjoying this rare peace and harmony.
Meanwhile, Lu Shu, Linafeier, and the others returned safely.
As soon as they got back, they immediately held a meeting. Everyone except Mengjia and Juliangzai, who were still fighting, was there. Chen Ping was also pulled over by Linafeier.
Chen Ping: "Lu Shu, Lina Fei'er, you two are back and you're already having a meeting? What happened?"
Lu Shu stroked his beard and smiled, "Well, the journey to collect resources went smoothly, but a small problem arose on the way back."
Linafil continued, "That's right, when the four of us returned to the Heart of the Divine Island, we unexpectedly encountered the White Scale Dragon Fruit."
Upon hearing Lu Shu and Linafiel's conversation, Chen Ping frowned slightly. He knew that White Scale Dragon Fruit was an extremely rare and precious resource, especially since this sea area was called the White Scale Sea. He asked with interest, "Oh? You encountered White Scale Dragon Fruit? That's a rare treasure in this area. What exactly happened?"
Deer Tree continued, “On our way back, we stumbled upon an island hidden in the mist. On the island grows a White Scale Dragon Fruit tree, and its fruit is ripe. However, the tree seems to be protected by a powerful barrier, and we were hindered when we tried to touch it.”
Linafil added, "Moreover, there are too many adventurers in the White Scale Sea. That place might attract the attention of other forces, including the White Scale Dynasty. If it is discovered by other forces, they will definitely covet this White Scale Dragon Fruit Tree just like they did when we first arrived, which would complicate the situation. We came back to discuss how to deal with this problem. After all, such an opportunity is rare and cannot be easily missed."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping asked in surprise, "Really? You can't break that restriction?"
Anlula: "We can't open it. The strength of that restriction is probably at the level of a main god. It's not that we can't break it, but that the restriction is connected to the White Scale Dragon Fruit Tree. If we forcibly break it, the fruit tree will also be destroyed."
"Hmm, the restriction will probably be lifted automatically after the white-scaled dragon fruit ripens."
After listening to An Lula's words, Chen Ping nodded and then said to everyone, "The White Scale Dragon Fruit is probably the best special resource in this White Scale Sea. Although its effects are unknown, it is worth the trip just for the price of a superior-grade artifact."
"By the way, Chief Anlula, how long until the White Scale Dragon Fruit ripens?"
Anlula: "Hmm, it seems the White-Scaled Dragon Fruit should ripen within the next few days. When we found it, the fruit was almost fully ripe, and the restriction should likely lift on its own within a week."
Chen Ping laughed and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go. Since we're the ones who discovered it, let's take over now. If anyone else comes, drive them away. If they can't be driven away, then fight them."
Linafil: "Hmm, Snake Rose is over there now. Snake Rose Clan Chief, could you ask if they've been discovered by any other forces?"
Upon hearing this, Sheruojia nodded and immediately made the contact.
Sheruojia: "Ruolin said that no one has discovered it yet."
......
The Heart of the Divine Island is moving at full speed. The other island is not too far from the Heart of the Divine Island. At the current speed of the Heart of the Divine Island, it will take about 10 hours to reach it. Before that, Lu Shu will lead the clan leader and thousands of clansmen to guard it.
After all, it was a White Scale Dragon Fruit tree, not a White Scale Dragon Fruit. If it were just a White Scale Dragon Fruit, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths. But the fruit tree is different because there's a chance it could be an island resource, which is why they're paying a little more attention to it.
Ten hours passed in a creaking sound, and the Heart of the Divine Island gradually drew closer to the island with the White Scale Dragon Fruit Tree.
Chen Ping: "Is that small island the island of the White-scaled Dragon Fruit Tree?"
Linaphile nodded and smiled, "That's right, that's the island. Hmm, it seems it hasn't been discovered by other forces. That's good news."
Chen Ping nodded in agreement. Indeed, at least they wouldn't have to fight. Although they had enough strength to defend this rare resource, it was good to avoid unnecessary conflict.
Looking at the island in front of him, which was not large, just a small island of a few thousand square kilometers, Chen Ping stroked his chin, wondering if he could directly incorporate it into the heart of the divine island now.
They could simply create a recessed area that could accommodate the island, and then enclose it. But I wonder if that would make the island part of the Heart of the Divine Island's territory.
Chen Ping shared his thoughts with Linafeier.
After listening, Linafeier pondered for a moment and then said, "Island Lord, why don't we give it a try? There's no loss if we fail, and if we succeed, we'll have gained something."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded in agreement.
Chen Ping examined the Heart of the Divine Island and then began to create a depression that could accommodate the island. Soon, the depression appeared. He then immediately adjusted the direction of the Heart of the Divine Island so that its depression was aligned with the island, and then it slowly drifted over.
Soon, the entire island was surrounded by the Heart of the Divine Island, and now it looks like an island within an island.
Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Chen Ping couldn't help but smile, and then began to fill in the edges, completely integrating the small island into the heart of the divine island.
The final product is that the small island becomes the third ocean area of the Heart of the Divine Island. The surrounding area is lowered, allowing seawater to flow in, while the small island sits quietly in the center of the inner sea, connected to the land of the Heart of the Divine Island below.
As soon as the island was officially integrated into the Heart of the Divine Island, the survival system's notification sound appeared a few seconds later.
[Survival System: Ding! Illegal activity. Please pay the fine (using Spirit Orbs)!]
[Survival System: Ding! After paying the fine, please return the island, or hand over the W Spirit Orb to own it!]
Chen Ping was instantly dumbfounded o((⊙﹏⊙))o
"Holy crap! 200 million spirit pearls?"
Upon hearing this, Linafei looked at Chen Ping with a puzzled expression and asked, "Island Lord, what do you mean by 200 million spirit pearls?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping helplessly rubbed his cheeks, then displayed the survival system's prompts so that Linafiel could see them.
Looking at the system notification, Lina fell silent. She wondered if it was worth it.
Two hundred million spirit pearls would be enough for them to destroy dozens of islands, and also enough to upgrade the Heart of the Divine Island several times.
