The danger passed without incident; the large group of sea creatures ignored the merchant ships on the sea and simply passed by.
Da da da!!
Looking at the float, Chen Ping thought for a moment and then put away his fishing rod, preparing to head towards the restaurant. The weather really wasn't suitable for fishing right now.
He arrived at the restaurant quickly. Hmm, there were quite a lot of people. Well, it's raining outside, and those who don't want to get wet have come into the lobby. The restaurant is right next to the lobby.
Seeing Chen Ping enter the restaurant, Bai Enling greeted him with a smile, "Chen Ping, you've come at the right time. Everyone's taking shelter from the rain here, so let's discuss the upcoming itinerary. Although those sea monsters didn't pose a threat to us, they still made us more vigilant, especially in this kind of bad weather."
Chen Ping nodded, wiped the rain off his clothes, and sat down in an empty seat. He replied, "Indeed, this situation is quite common at sea, but it also has its advantages. At least now we don't have to worry about being ambushed."
Uncle Chen: "Indeed, this kind of weather could lead to a small natural disaster. Once a natural disaster occurs, it will be difficult to ambush it."
The rest of the journey was quiet, and no major problems were encountered along the way. However, the weather became increasingly severe, eventually forming a small natural disaster. Its power was such that even beings at the level of a main god could withstand it.
As the natural disaster struck, the protective shields on the merchant ships were deployed. Faint, transparent shields appeared all over the ships, blocking the disaster, as well as the rain and sea wind.
The faint light was barely noticeable in the darkness of the night. After all, many sea creatures are light-loving, so the glow was quite faint.
The rest of the journey went smoothly. Two days later, the Bai family merchant ship arrived at its destination, the large island of Linghua!
......
On the deck, Bai Enling looked at the port guidance ship ahead with a relaxed expression, then smiled at Chen Ping and said, "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, it's really a bit unexpected."
Looking at the large island ahead, Chen Ping said, "Is that the Linghua Island ahead?"
Bai Enling: "That's right. Linghua Island has a rather special location, situated between the Shilu Sea Area and the Qilin Sea Area. Therefore, the island possesses the specialties of both sea areas, making it very prosperous."
"My mission this time is to safely deliver the goods to the Bai family auction house here. After successfully completing this auction, my test will be over."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded: "Oh, when will you start the auction? I'd like to go and take a look."
Bai Enling: "Alright, here you go. It's a membership card from my Bai family. You can use this to enter the auction."
Chen Ping took it and looked at it. It was a black token with a white character engraved on it.
The Bai family's merchant ship slowly approached the port.
Chen Ping: "When does the auction start?"
Bai Enling: "Tomorrow at noon."
Chen Ping: "Alright, I'll go downstairs and take a look around first. I'll come to your auction tomorrow to show my support. Bye."
After saying that, Chen Ping jumped down and followed the flow of people into the city.
The moment Chen Ping stepped onto Linghua Island, he was struck by its bustling atmosphere and unique charm. The island's architecture blended the characteristics of the Shilu and Qilin sea areas, with shops lining the streets and crowds thronging the area, showcasing its thriving economy and trade.
Bai Enling watched Chen Ping leave from the deck, his heart filled with gratitude for Chen Ping's help. He waved goodbye and instructed, "Chen Ping, the island is quite safe, but be careful. The exact location of the auction is marked on the back of the token. It starts promptly at noon tomorrow, don't forget."
Chen Ping responded, his figure gradually disappearing into the crowd. He strolled around the island with great interest, appreciating the local customs and culture, and searching for items or information that might be useful to him. At the same time, he also looked forward to what rare treasures would appear at the auction held by the Bai family the next day.
Bai Enling then began directing the crew to unload the cargo in an orderly manner, preparing for the auction the following day. This test for him was both a test of his family's trust and expectations, and an important stage for him to prove his abilities. Everything proceeded smoothly until noon the next day, when the highly anticipated auction would officially begin.
The next morning, as sunlight bathed the Linghua Island, Chen Ping rose early, washed up, and headed to the auction venue. The auction was held in the Bai Family Chamber of Commerce building in the center of the island; it was magnificent and heavily guarded, showcasing the Bai family's formidable strength and meticulous approach.
Holding the Bai family membership token, Chen Ping entered the auction hall without hindrance. The hall was magnificent, with various types of seats neatly arranged. Attendees came in a steady stream, including merchants and nobles from the Ten Seas and the Qilin Sea. Everyone eagerly anticipated the upcoming auction.
As noon approached, the auction officially began. The auctioneer was a woman with outstanding temperament. She introduced each item in a clear and loud voice, and the bidding atmosphere was both enthusiastic and orderly.
Chen Ping watched with great interest as one rare and precious item after another was auctioned off, while also keeping an eye out for anything that might interest him.
The auction was in full swing, while Bai Enling busily monitored the entire process backstage to ensure its smooth operation. As time passed, it was soon time for the final few items to be revealed one by one.
Looking at the auction platform above, Chen Ping couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It was actually the fiery red rose fish he had caught? This could be one of the prizes?
Although Chen Ping felt something was off, the scene erupted in an uproar, especially among the women, who all stared with frenzied fervor at the fiery red rosefish still swimming on the stage. This was a rare fish that could produce a rose-scented substance.
Next, Chen Ping saw what madness was. He sold it to Bai Enling for 35,000 Origin Gold Coins, which was also the starting price, and each time the price was increased by no less than 5,000 Origin Gold Coins.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping clicked his tongue. Could it really increase tenfold or more?
Next, to Chen Ping's astonishment, the final transaction price of the Fiery Red Rose Fish was 290,000 Origin Gold Coins, and it was bought by a noblewoman.
"Damn, this is a huge loss!"
Chen Ping murmured to himself.
The fiery red rose fish completely ignited the atmosphere, and everyone couldn't help but look forward to the remaining few final pieces.
Soon, the second bottom-up item appeared. It was a special beast that looked a bit like a lizard, with golden spots all over its body.
The price starts at 100,000 Origin Gold Coins?
