Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 236 How did you know I'm the future Emperor of Mystery? The Whale Watching Festival officially begins!
Marshal Gaius's gaze first swept over the group of people on his side.

Nephew Justinian?

Unlike Justinian, who might not have been happy to acknowledge Alexander as his elder brother.

Avalon?
It's even more impossible; Avalon and Alexander are old rivals, and it's impossible for Avalon to back down to the other.

As for Glenn and Cardan?

It seems like they're not even remotely related...

Or rather, only the two of them had ever heard of Alexander, and Alexander probably didn't even know who they were.

As for Xiafa...

Marshal Gaius was about to make a similar inference, but it was too late.

Alexander, dragging a pair of exaggeratedly large mechanical arms, ran over in a few steps and immediately put his arm around Shafa's shoulder affectionately.

"Brother, what a coincidence! I was just talking to my teacher about you. Come, come, let me introduce you to my teacher!"

This highly respected young master of the Myriad Machines School, amidst the astonished and surprised gazes of Gaius and the others, with a fawning expression, put his arm around Xia Fa and walked toward the white-bearded old man.

Glenn rubbed his eyes violently, wondering if he had seen wrong.

But upon closer inspection, Alexander, whose name was widely known on the planet Calig and whose status was countless times higher than that of Prince Justinian, was actually... chatting and laughing with Shafa in a rather ingratiating manner!

Cardan stared at this scene in disbelief, suddenly realizing that his understanding of Shafa was far from sufficient...

As for Marshal Gaius, Prince Justinian, and Avalon, after a brief moment of astonishment, different expressions appeared on their faces.

Marshal Gaius was quite surprised and pleased.

Prince Justinian found it hard to believe, and at the same time, a sense of inferiority rose uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart.

As for Avalon, a thoughtful look appeared in his innocent, lake-blue eyes, as if he had already realized something.

With their backs to the crowd, Xia Fa and Alexander couldn't see their gazes. At that moment, he was being warmly embraced by Alexander and brought to the white-bearded old man.

That was none other than Alexander's teacher, the Chancellor of the School of Machines, the renowned and extraordinary monarch of the Forge of All Things, Arthur de Massinari!

The Royal Masinari Academy of the Kingdom of Augu, the same academy where Avalon and Daponz both studied, is said to be named after Him, purely out of worship and reverence.

Strangely, although the student Alexander was pursuing a path of mechanical modification, his teacher Arthur looked like an ordinary old man, without even a single obvious mechanical modification on his body.

"Teacher, this is my older brother! What do you think? He didn't disappoint you, did he?"

Alexander excitedly spoke to Arthur. Although he was Arthur's student, he didn't seem afraid of his teacher at all; on the contrary, he was quite close to him.

Arthur wore a star-blue robe covered with various mechanical design drawings and magical equations. However, his white beard, which almost reached his chest, was far more eye-catching, as it was adorned with numerous gears, bearings, and other mechanical parts.

Arthur was all smiles, looking quite kind.
“Xia Fa, hello. My student is usually quite unruly. I’m sorry to trouble you to take care of him at sea these days.”

Xia Fa was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that this important figure, who was practically at the top of Caligi, would be so approachable.

So he smiled rather politely:
"I wouldn't say we took care of each other, but we helped each other out. Alexander helped me a lot too."

Arthur smiled kindly and nodded slightly, but then suddenly leaned down and whispered something in Shafa's ear:
“Patriarch Osius is my teacher. He told me about your situation yesterday and instructed me to protect you at the whale watching festival if necessary… Your Highness the future Mysterious Emperor.”

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else, not even that silly Alexander."

As a veteran extraordinary monarch, Arthur had signed at least twenty secret contracts. When he had a private conversation with Shafa, no one else could hear a thing.

Xia Fa's pupils contracted slightly, and he was quite surprised.

He had thought that since he didn't even appear to be a demigod, even though he was a signatory to the Silver Throne, he had suddenly become the elder brother of Alexander, the young master of the Myriad Machines School, and would inevitably suffer various interrogations and contempt from Arthur, the Speaker of the Myriad Machines School.

Then, he would find another opportunity to reveal his identity as the future Emperor of Secrets, making Arthur deeply regret his actions.

But little did he know that Arthur already knew about his identity as the future Emperor of Secrets. No wonder he was so kind.

Of course, on the other hand, it's probably also because everyone is from the Silver Church. At least for now, since he hasn't made it clear whether he wants to join another church, Patriarch Osius will definitely take good care of him. One way he can do this is by asking his student for help.

"Even the Emperor of Mystery is in this state. What if one day they find out that I am actually the Holy Spirit of Destiny who signed three overlord-level secret contracts..."

Xia Fa thought to himself with amusement, but he also understood that before he could figure out the truth about the Nine Great Gods, it was best not to easily reveal his identity as the future Holy Spirit of Destiny.

The two Celestial Spirits, one who lost control and ran into the Celestial Spirit Realm, and the other who simply hid themselves, are the best examples.

Moreover, both of those Heavenly Saints were beings who had signed thirty secret contracts each...

Composing himself and without giving it much thought, Xia Fa looked at Arthur again and smiled:
"Then I thank you in advance, if that moment ever comes."

Arthur smiled:
"Sure, sure, hahaha."

At that moment, Xia Fa was unaware that everyone outside the Emperor's Suite not far behind him was stunned.

Marshal Gaius was deeply shaken and even began to doubt what he had seen with his own eyes.

what's the situation?
Legend has it that the chairman of the Myriad Machines School was not dignified, solemn, and never smiled.
After all, if they didn't do it this way, they wouldn't be able to control those mechanical geniuses and freaks from the Myriad Machines School who always liked to have wild ideas.

But why did He act like a kind old grandfather when facing Xia Fa?
Even if Marshal Gaius knew that Shafa was a signatory to the Silver Throne, it didn't have to be like this. After all, Shafa was still weak, not even a demigod, and hadn't fully grown up yet.

Avalon was even more astonished. Just a few years ago, when Arthur visited Alexander in the Earthly Kingdom of the Silver Universe, Avalon had consulted this veteran transcendent monarch who had signed the Forge of All Things about how to improve the magical circuitry of the mobile armor.

Arthur did indeed teach Him, and he didn't hold back much, but he was a million times stricter than the strictest teacher Avalon had ever encountered, so much so that Avalon still has a considerable shadow in his heart.

But why was Arthur so kind to Shaphat?
As for Prince Justinian, Cardan, and Glenn, they were extremely astonished, especially when they saw Arthur leaning down and whispering to Shafa.

Glenn stared blankly at Xia Fa's retreating figure, muttering to himself:
“Uncle Cardan, I’m starting to suspect that you knew all along that Shafa was no ordinary person, which is why you were willing to call him ‘godfather’…”

Cardan rolled his eyes at him, opened his mouth silently, but couldn't say anything.

Just then, Xia Fa returned alone.

Because it's not yet 10 a.m., Arthur is taking Alexander to visit some old friends who are attending the whale watching event and to reconnect with them.

Xia Fa was naturally too lazy to go, so after politely declining, they agreed to meet at the whale watching event.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xia Fa walked in front of the group, Prince Justinian and others swarmed around him, looking quite excited.

"Shafa, what's going on with you? How could someone as arrogant as Alexander willingly acknowledge you as his elder brother?"

"Yes, in front of you, he's practically like a real little brother!"

"My God, Xia Fa, you wouldn't happen to be Arthur's illegitimate son, would you?"

Xia Fa chuckled slightly:

"No, well, we'll talk about the details on the way."

Amidst the surprised, envious, and curious gazes of Glenn and the others, the group took the elevator of the Lushuri Hotel and descended into the lobby.

Among them, Glenn, Cardan, and Marshal Gaius all knew the identity of the signatory to the Silver Throne of Shafa.

Therefore, in the elevator, Xia Fa had already decided that he would simply tell Prince Justinian and Avalon about signing the Silver Throne while they were walking down the street.

As for the rest, whether it's the identity of the future Mysterious Emperor or the future Holy Spirit of Destiny, it's impossible to say now; we'll have to wait until later.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the hall, Avalon became nervous and reached out to stop everyone.

"Shh, you all, look! Those are Tefaro and Kazimir! In the Earthly Kingdom of the [Silver Universe], they are two geniuses who can rank among the top five of our generation!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the front desk in the hall and continued:
"These two not only signed a supreme-level secret contract, but they also mastered a divine battle technique!"

Divine combat tactics?!
Marshal Gaius was startled, and Prince Justinian could hardly believe what he had just heard.

As for Kaldan and Glenn, they were completely bewildered, seemingly having never heard of such an extremely high-level esoteric concept as "divine combat tactics."

"I should have guessed it sooner. No wonder Tefaro, an angel, could fight against a transcendent monarch. It turns out he has mastered a divine battle technique..."

A deep sense of envy welled up in Prince Justinian's dark eyes, which held a hint of blue.

Marshal Gaius then turned to Prince Justinian, who was not his biological nephew but was closer to him than a nephew, and said solemnly:
"That's why I'm telling you to work harder. These top-tier angel-level overlords weren't born with divine combat techniques. It takes talent plus hard work to reach that moment when things naturally fall into place."

Prince Justinian now truly agreed, and his tone became resolute:

“Okay, Uncle Gaius, after this whale watching event is over, I will definitely work hard to cultivate and never relax for a moment.”

Glenn then turned to Avalon with curiosity and said:
"Avalon, have you ever fought this...Tefaro?"

After getting to know Avalon, Glenn discovered that this legendary mechanical genius, the greatest in the Kingdom of Augu in a century, was down-to-earth, so they began to treat each other as peers, even though Glenn himself was only an Elephant-level superhuman.

A hint of sadness flashed across Avalon's chubby face:
“We’ve faced each other in the monthly joint training sessions, but I didn’t even see how he made his move before I was defeated by him.”

Xia Fa was quite surprised to hear this.

Could it be that the time Avalon got drunk on Princess Shark's Shark and complained about being easily crushed by the geniuses in the Earthly Kingdom was because of his experience of being instantly killed by Tefalo?

Prince Justinian sighed:

"These are true young heroes! I really want to befriend them, but unfortunately, they would never even look at me..."

Avalon agreed quite sincerely:
“Indeed, they don’t even think much of me, how could they possibly think much of you? Haven’t you noticed that Tefaro only hangs out with Kazimierz, who is also a genius no less than him?”

Just then, Tefaro and Kazimierz had finished settling the bill for the Emperor Suite and were about to leave the Lushure Grand Hotel when they turned around and spotted Shafa.

The two top-tier angel-level overlords exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat surprised, and smiles appeared on their faces simultaneously.

Immediately, he walked towards Xia Fa.

After taking a few steps closer, Tefaro smiled lazily and looked at Shafa.

"Xia Fa, perfect timing. Let's go to the fungus-level whale watching room at the whale watching event and practice beforehand."

Kazimir was still dressed like a financial elite, his blond hair neatly combed back, wearing rimless glasses, and spoke in a tone as if discussing serious business:

"That's right. Go practice first and get a feel for it. That way, when the whale watching event officially starts, it will be easier to pick out a tourist whale that can yield good specimens."

At this moment, Marshal Gaius, Prince Justinian, Avalon, Cardan, Glenn... were all completely stunned.

What's happening here?
Weren't they supposed to be extremely arrogant and look down on ordinary people?

But why do they seem to be so familiar with Xia Fa?
Avalon, in particular, could hardly believe what he was seeing.
You should know that in the Earthly God Kingdom of the [Silver Universe], the small circle that Tefaro and Kazimierz belong to is simply inaccessible to ordinary people!
Now, Tefalo and Kazimierz not only accepted Shafa, but also showed him great respect in their words. They even asked for his opinion before going to the whale watching event!

Xia Fa was somewhat surprised, not expecting to run into Tefaro and Kazimierz here again.

He suddenly realized why it was such a coincidence... because this was the Lushurui Hotel, the most expensive, most luxurious, and of course, best-equipped hotel in the City of Ten Thousand Stars.

Whether it's Arthur and Alexander of the Myriad Machines School, or Tefaro and Kazimierz of the Earthly Kingdom of the [Silver Universe]... these guys, whose status and position far exceed those of ordinary people, do they have to treat themselves to a small inn instead of staying at the Lushurui Grand Hotel?
But coincidentally, last night, at Marshal Gaius's warm invitation, my group also checked into the Lushuri Hotel...

He sighed inwardly, mainly unsure how to explain this to Marshal Gaius and the others, so Xia Fa could only reply:
"How about we travel together? These are my elders and friends."

Tefaro shrugged, still with that "whatever you say" attitude.

Kazimir nodded quite seriously, as if he were making a major business deal, indicating his agreement.

With Tefaro and Kazimierz joining them, even if Prince Justinian and Avalon had many questions, they dared not ask Shafa now and could only wait and see if there would be an opportunity later.

As a supreme ruler who had signed fifteen secret contracts and was capable of rivaling extraordinary monarchs, Marshal Gaius naturally wouldn't pry into the affairs of juniors, as that would seem unreliable, even though he was quite curious himself.

I'm really curious to know what Xia Fa went through during his time at sea that earned him such respect from two top-tier angel-level overlords.

And so, the group left the Lushurui Hotel, walked through bustling streets, and finally arrived at a cluster of buildings.

This is almost the northernmost part of the City of Ten Thousand Stars, but without a doubt, it is also the most bustling and lively area these days.

As far as the eye could see, there were distinctive buildings of all sizes, but apart from the difference in size, they were all exactly the same in appearance.

These distinctive buildings, at first glance, look like bungalows, but are much taller than bungalows, with the tallest even reaching the height of palaces.

Even more strangely, the exterior walls of all the bungalows were coated with orange metallic powder, and the roofs were semi-circular, painted white, but engraved with rings of ritual arrays composed of secret texts, as well as extremely complex magical equations.

Xia Fa had already found out the details when he was gathering information in the City of Ten Thousand Stars yesterday, and had even come to see for himself.

These houses, regardless of size, are all collectively called "whale watching houses".

The orange metallic powder was made from a special metal called "tidal brass." Even just applying it to the walls of the whale watching house could greatly disrupt spatial fluctuations, making the originally stable spatial fluctuations rise and fall like the tides.

In this situation, people would not be greatly disturbed, but if a traveling whale in a dormant state suddenly woke up and wanted to break through space to escape to the Protoss Realm, it would be impossible.

The whale will be swept up by the tide and unable to escape.

As for the various ritual arrays and magical equations on the white circular roof, they were used to enhance the effect of the Tidal Brass, prevent the traveling whales from escaping, and keep them in a dormant state using special mental fluctuations.

"Is it the same as previous years? Only those who reach a certain spending level can enter the better whale watching rooms?"

Prince Justinian spoke up, saying that along the way he had discovered that Tefaro and Kazimierz did not seem to be as aloof as rumored, only associating with those whose talent and strength were comparable to their own.

On the contrary, although Casimir was rigid, he was almost always willing to answer questions, and even Glenn could exchange a few words with him.

As for Tefaro, although he was lazy and always had a cynical smile on his lips, he was not arrogant at all. He even chatted with Avalon for a few words, which made Avalon feel a little flattered.

However, to Avalon's dismay, Tefaro had absolutely no recollection of ever fighting Him, as if he had no memory of such an opponent whatsoever.

At this moment, Casimir said quite seriously:
"Of course, after all, the Gold Miners' Guild is a business, not a charity. The annual whale watching festival is also their most profitable time."

Tefaro smiled casually:

"Actually, it doesn't cost much, if you're good at choosing the right whales for your trip."

Because of His extremely high intelligence, even Avalon would seem mentally challenged compared to Him, so His speech is also relatively concise.

But everyone present was intelligent, and they naturally understood what Tefaro meant.

Tefalo's idea is that even if you start from the lowest level whale watching lodge, as long as you can pick out a good whale, gut it on the spot, sell the good stuff immediately, and then continue to buy whales... This cycle continues until you reach the spending standard and move on to better whale watching lodges.

Xia Fa was certainly aware of this rule. It was said that the whale watching house's rating system directly used the rating system for superhumans.

In other words, there are nine levels of whale watching rooms: fungus, insect, eagle, wolf, elephant, whale, demigod, angel, ruler, etc.

Of course, the spending standard is simple: as long as you spend one million gold pounds in a whale watching house of the first level, you can enter the next level of whale watching house, and so on.

In other words, to enter the top-tier whale watching house, you only need to spend nine million gold pounds.

It is said that above the Supreme One, there is an ultimate whale watching house, but that is by invitation only.

Only those who demonstrate exceptional insight and uncover priceless treasures at each whale watching convention are eligible to be invited to the ultimate whale watching house, where you'll find many rare and exceptional whales!
Just then, Glenn suddenly became somewhat discouraged:
"Forget about pocket money, even if I withdrew all my savings, I probably still wouldn't be able to spend a million gold pounds. Sigh..."

Kazimir earnestly tried to comfort him, saying:
"It's okay. Although whale watching rooms are divided into nine levels, there's still a chance to find good stuff in the fungus-level whale watching room. What if you get lucky?"

That's true. In fact, the whales in the premium whale watching rooms aren't necessarily worse than those in the top-tier whale watching rooms.

However, the whales in the top-tier whale watching rooms are mostly in excellent condition, making it easier to find the best specimens.

Comparatively speaking, there are fewer whales in the premium whale watching rooms that are in very good condition, but they are not completely nonexistent. Finding them depends more on a keen eye and luck.

This also seems to be a way for the Gold Rush Merchants Association to attract customers who come to participate in the whale watching festival every year to spend money, and many customers are willing to try their luck in the whale watching rooms.

"Let's go check out the whale watching cabin first. If we're lucky, we might spot a whale that catches our eye right away!"

Prince Justinian waved his hand, already quite eager to try, his face even flushed.

Tefaro and Kazimir were, of course, also getting ready to fight.

Faced with a traveling whale that could potentially unearth priceless treasures such as overlord-level secret contracts, divine artifacts, divine blood fruits, ancient fruits, sacred metals, and so on, even these two top-tier angel-level overlords could hardly remain calm and excited.

Marshal Gaius had already lit a cigar and was holding it between his teeth; the aroma of pine and nuts immediately filled the air.

For some reason, this usually serious, soldier-like figure seemed more relaxed and carefree at this moment.

"You young people go ahead and have fun. I'm going to see some old friends... It's been so many years since I last saw them."

Marshal Gaius waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry about him, and then walked straight to one of the whale watching houses.

It seemed that an old friend was waiting for Him in that whale watching house.

Cardan hesitated for a moment, realizing that he couldn't very well lower himself to mingle with the younger people, and having already spotted a few familiar faces, he finally spoke up:

"Then I'll wander around a bit and won't bother you any longer."

Before anyone could agree, he walked over to the nobleman among the group of bag-carrying men, and soon put his arm around the shoulder of one of the middle-aged men carrying a platinum bag and began exchanging pleasantries.

Xia Fa and Te Faro exchanged glances, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and together they walked towards a fungus-level whale-watching house not far ahead.

Although the whale watching event doesn't officially start until 10 a.m., visitors can already enjoy their purchases in the premium whale watching rooms.

If your spending reaches one million gold pounds, you can directly enter the insect-level whale watching house once the whale watching event officially begins.

If the spending reaches tens of millions of gold pounds, then without a doubt, the bounty tournament will start with a direct trip to the Dominator-level Whale Watching House.

As for the ultimate whale watching room... that won't open until the next day.

This whale watching house is quite large, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters. Rows of traveling whales, some large and some small, with different shapes, are neatly arranged on the ground in a dozing state.

As soon as Xia Fa walked in, he saw many red traveling whales and traveling whales covered in barnacles, and his heart inexplicably burned with excitement.

Alien traveling whales! And so many of them!
All I can say is that the whale watching event truly lives up to its name; even in the premium whale watching rooms, there are so many rare and wonderful items on display.

Without further ado, everyone immediately and tacitly separated, each going off to choose their favorite whale for the trip.

Xiafa quickly walked alone to a traveling whale, and with a slight thought, he called out to it through his spiritual intuition.

"Nature's Bees".

Soon, he felt a tingling sensation on his arm inside his sleeve, as if a plump bumblebee had appeared on it and was crawling around.

At the same time, I also felt a slight fluctuation in the Celestial Spirit Realm.

"Master! I just went for a stroll in the Protoss Realm. Luckily, I didn't go too far, which is why I was able to hear your summons in time!"

In my spiritual intuition, I heard the lively and joyful sound of the bees of nature.

Xia Fa smiled slightly and responded with his spiritual intuition:

"Okay, thank you for your hard work from now on."

The bee of nature quickly replied:
"It's no trouble at all. It's my honor to serve you, Master. Please wait a moment, Master. I'll transform into a traveling whale right away!"

As soon as it finished speaking, Xia Fa immediately felt a cool, slippery sensation on his arm inside his sleeve. A rather heavy ball pressed down on the large, solid muscles of his arm, which were as hard as rocks.

"Master, alright! If there are any good ones among the traveling whales you choose, I'll tap your arm. If not, I'll pat your arm with my tail. That way, you can concentrate on choosing without having to ask me extra questions."

Hearing what the Nature Bee said, Xia Fa was quite surprised. He didn't expect that his pet would not only be very good at flattery, but also become so considerate.

Hmm... After this whale watching event ends, I definitely need to hunt down a few strange or supernatural creatures, like angels or even rulers, to reward them properly!

After giving a simple "hmm," Xia Fa fell silent and focused on appreciating the traveling whale in front of him.

The traveling whale was entirely sea blue, with smooth skin and folds on its belly resembling wooden strips arranged in a regular pattern.

Although there are natural bees present, so you don't need to go to too much trouble to distinguish them, it is still necessary to do some preliminary screening, which can greatly improve efficiency.

"Skin, folds, tail, eyes, teeth... these are the five basic criteria for selecting a traveling whale."

"Among them, the skin of traveling whales can be roughly divided into water skin, silk skin, and egg skin based on its texture..."

"As for the folds on their bellies, they can be simply divided into wavy folds, spindle folds, and slat folds..."

“Travel whales that are easier to find good specimens from are generally those with similar physical characteristics. For example, a watery skin with wavy folds is similar to the image of ‘water’, and the probability of finding good specimens is greater.”

"However, sometimes it's not necessary to follow this rule completely..."

Xiafa briefly recalled in his mind that the criteria for selecting the traveling whales were based on the teachings of Captain Red Pufferfish, Prince Justinian, and Avalon, who had taught him together at sea.

As for the light that emerges from the belly of a traveling whale after it has been cut open, which indicates the quality of the items being cut, it is divided into the following categories from lowest to highest:
White light, purple light, golden light, tri-color light, five-color light, seven-color light, nine-color light, twelve-color light, and the rarest fifteen-color light.

Xia Fa understood that in a fungus-level whale watching house, being able to extract a three- or five-colored light was considered extremely lucky.

He took a closer look at the house-sized traveling whale in front of him, and then, his spiritual intuition stirred, and he asked the bee of nature a question.

The Bee of Nature had long since transformed into the form of a miniature traveling whale, hiding in his sleeve, and then patted his arm with its tail.

"So, in that case, there's nothing good here..."

Xia Fa nodded slightly. In fact, the teeth and pupils of the traveling whale in front of him could barely be compared to the image of a coconut tree.

However, it's normal that there's nothing good in it.

"It's out! It's out! I've got it! Hahaha!"

Suddenly, a surprised exclamation rang out from a red-haired young man not far to the left.

At that moment, he used the small knife he carried with him to cut open the belly of a traveling whale in front of him.

The instant he made the cut, a tricolor light suddenly emerged from the belly of the traveling whale!

People around looked on with envy, and several middle-aged men dressed as businessmen moved quickly and approached the traveling whale.

The red-haired young man wasn't afraid at all. After all, this was a whale watching event organized by the Gold Miners' Guild, and no one would dare to steal the valuable items that others had extracted.

Furthermore, the Gold Miners' Guild would even send people to escort those who chose to leave after finding valuable items, and there were even specially built ritual teleportation rooms to help them escape the surveillance and tracking of those with ill intentions.

Therefore, even when people gathered around, the red-haired young man didn't care at all, and instead excitedly showed off to those around him.

Immediately, he bent down, reached his hands into the belly of the traveling whale, and began to grope with difficulty.

With a "whoosh," the red-haired young man suddenly yanked, and actually... pulled out a clump of seaweed!
Hidden among the seaweed was an extraordinary fruit shaped like a chicken heart, covered with bizarre and chaotic patterns, emanating wisps of black mist.

"This is... a fruit tainted with the blood of a god!"

"The Void Eye Fruit! It's the Void Eye Fruit! Young man, no, handsome sir, are you willing to pay for it? I can offer 500,000 gold pounds!"

"You want to buy it for 500,000 gold pounds? I'll offer 530,000 gold pounds!"

"Five hundred and fifty thousand gold pounds, take it or leave it!"

"I'm telling you, fellow professionals, don't try to take this from me. The secret contract I signed allows me to absorb this Divine Blood Fruit, thus evolving my secret contract abilities. I'm offering 600,000. If anyone raises the price, I'll keep up. However, anyone who maliciously raises the price should consider whether they can withstand the wrath of the Theseus family."

Xia Fa watched from a distance with great curiosity.

Divine Blood Fruit is a general term for a certain type of extremely rare and extraordinary fruit.

These extraordinary fruits are either fruits that have been contaminated with the blood of gods, outer gods, or even true gods, resulting in great mutations or even an elevation in rank, transforming them into the highest-ranking divine blood fruits among extraordinary fruits.

Or perhaps, an extraordinary plant absorbed the blood of the gods and directly produced divine blood fruit.

Among these fruits, the most expensive ones are worth as much as sacred metal of the same volume!
"The Void Eye Fruit is probably most needed by those extraordinary individuals who have signed the high-level secret contracts of Starlight Leech and Starlight Shadow, right? It's a pity I don't have any use for it..."

Now, with a fortune of over 25 million gold pounds in his pocket, Xia Fa can certainly afford the mere 600,000 gold pounds worth of the Divine Blood Fruit.

However, if the three overlord-level secret contracts he signed were to work, especially the divine blood fruits that could transform some of his overlord-level secret contract abilities, then they would all have to be divine blood fruits tainted with the blood of outer gods or even the blood of true gods.

The farce ended quickly, and the red-haired young man chose to sell the Void Eye Fruit, earning a full 600,000 gold pounds.

He appeared to be just an adventurer, and a rather poor one at that. The traveling whale he had dissected was worth only about 30,000 gold pounds, so he had made a fortune and attracted a lot of envious glances.

Several attractive young women even approached him on the spot to chat.

After all, with a net worth of 600,000 gold pounds... as long as that money isn't spent on selecting traveling whales, it's enough to live a very comfortable life.

Xia Fa noticed that Tefaro, Prince Justinian, and the others were intently looking around at the traveling whale that was emitting tricolored light, as if trying to find something special about it.

However, this traveling whale, with its eggshell-like shape, spindle-shaped folds, grinding teeth, and wavy tail, is a completely unique image.

Beforehand, no one could have predicted that a divine blood fruit worth 600,000 gold pounds could be found inside!

Perhaps because of the red-haired young man's exceptional luck, the atmosphere inside the whale-watching house, which spans tens of thousands of square meters, suddenly became lively.

Many people who were initially hesitant bought the travel whales they wanted from the sales staff on site.

Immediately afterwards, lights began to emerge from the entire whale watching house.

"Golden light! Someone has discovered golden light!"

"Come on, that guy spent a whopping 260,000 yuan to buy that traveling whale, and when he cut it open, it was all gold. He already lost money."

"Hahaha, a whale that costs 170,000 yuan for a tour only produced white light when it was dissected? I'm dying of laughter, hahahahaha!"

"I wasn't optimistic about that traveling whale either. It looked like it had wavy folds and a watery surface, but its teeth were lion's teeth, which directly broke through the imagery of 'water.' It was obviously not going to produce anything good. Now it's paid its dues, hasn't it? Hahaha."

"The purple light has appeared... well, it only cost six thousand gold pounds anyway, so it's a small profit."

Dozens of people bought their desired travel whales and chose to have them cut open, but none of them were able to produce the tricolor light again, and even the golden light was rare.

Xia Fa was also selecting one traveling whale after another, when suddenly he stopped in front of a certain traveling whale.

It was a traveling whale, only the size of a water tank, entirely black, and not just a light black, but a jet black like paint.

In addition, this traveling whale's belly had almost no wrinkles, being as smooth as its skin, while its tail was the most common whale tail.

Xia Fa crouched down slightly and looked at the pupil painting hidden in its eyes. He only saw a black hole. He then pried open its upper lip to look at its teeth, which turned out to be strange and eerie sharp teeth.

At this moment, a nosy middle-aged man approached and whispered:
“Young man, listen to my advice, whatever you do, don’t choose this alien traveling whale. I’ve seen it, and it’s the hardest to find anything good inside. If you can find purple light inside, that’s already pretty good. But it’s ridiculously expensive, a full 1.05 million gold pounds!”

Xia Fa was also pondering. He had a feeling that something good could be found out from this, but he wasn't sure.

Just then, many more people gathered around, pointing and commenting on the unusual traveling whale.

"Look, the whale skin is pure black, and the pupils are painted with black holes. What does this mean? It means that anyone who dares to put money into this traveling whale is like throwing money into a black hole—they will absolutely get nothing!"

"Yes, the similarities in the characteristics of traveling whales can be very telling. Who would throw money into a black hole?"

"Hmph, the Gold Prospectors' Guild dare to sell for 1.05 million gold pounds? I bet they're just ripping off suckers and clueless newbies!"

Seeing that many seemingly experienced people around him were not optimistic about this exotic traveling whale, Xia Fa, for some reason, became even more eager to buy it.

He immediately used his spiritual intuition to inquire about the bees of nature.

Unexpectedly, the bee bumped into him with its belly this time.

This means... there really is something good in here!

However, this traveling whale is indeed quite expensive, costing a full 1.05 million gold pounds.

Even though he had more than 25 million gold pounds, it was still quite risky to spend one-twenty-fifth of it at once.

Especially considering that there is a possibility of encountering even better and extremely expensive tourist whales later on, and that once the money runs out, it may be too expensive to buy them.

On the other hand, for the Nature Bees, it seems that anything worth hundreds of thousands of gold pounds or more is considered a good item.

In other words, even if the Natural Bee is certain there are good things inside, buying it and cutting it open might not be profitable, especially if it can only be sold for a few hundred thousand gold pounds.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Fa glanced at the jet-black alien traveling whale a few more times and finally decided to buy it!
He trusted his intuition!
