I'm not just human!

No one could describe how wondrous and peculiar this scene was; it was as if a complete galaxy had appeared inside the belly of this traveling whale, appearing so distant and serene under the glow of mercury.

"The stars whisper secrets..."

Xia Fa felt an overwhelming surge of joy. He never expected that before the whale watching event had even officially started, he had already found one of the three sacred metals he wanted most!

Although it's only the size of a cherry, it's a sacred metal, a sacred metal that even the nine great gods had to personally search the entire universe for!

More than 30,000 years have passed, and to still be able to find this cherry-sized Star Whisper Secret Titanium is already incredibly lucky!

Xia Fa reached out and grabbed, a suction force formed by a blue aura emanating from his palm, instantly pulling the cherry-sized Star Whisper Titanium into his hand.

The moment he grasped the whispering stars, light as air, Xia Fa felt unsteady and seemed about to transform into starlight.

"Wait, if I absorb this Whispering Stars Secret Titanium, it will definitely greatly enhance the core secret ability of 'Starry Body'. Wouldn't that be equivalent to indirectly strengthening my Starry Silver Throne?"

Upon realizing this, Xia Fa became even happier.

Adhering to the principle of not flaunting wealth, Xia Fa flipped his palm and put the Whispering Stars Secret Titanium into a separate, empty pouch.

Yesterday he bought dozens of Black Bags from the Extraordinary Shop in the City of Ten Thousand Stars, just for today.

Some of the more precious treasures, such as sacred metals, ancient fruits, and divine blood fruits, are better stored separately.

After regaining his composure, Xia Fa returned to his normal expression, pried open the thick whale flesh wall, and stepped out.

Immediately, a large group of people crowded around, eager to ask questions.

"Brother, what good stuff did you find after dissecting it?"

"Whatever the treasure, I'll offer five million gold pounds to buy it. What do you think?"

"Could it be sacred metal? Even if it's just a tiny piece the size of a bean, that would be a huge profit!"

"It could also be a fragmented mysterious treasure. Goodness, that would be incredible."

"Perhaps it's a very rare supernatural being currently dormant? Seven-colored light... a supernatural being of this level would probably reach the Dominator rank in its adult form!"

Faced with the extremely curious expressions on everyone's faces, Xia Fa simply smiled slightly:

"You don't need to guess anymore, I'm not going to tell you."

Unless someone is mentally unstable, they would reveal that they have dissected a cherry-sized piece of the Whispering Stars Secret Titanium.

After all, this isn't a competition to win the top prize at this whale watching event, where we need to compare who can find the most valuable treasure. So it's better not to say anything.

Seeing that Xia Fa was so tight-lipped, no matter how eager everyone was, they had no choice but to give up.

But Tefaro came over, nudged Shafa with his elbow, and winked at him, saying:

"Xia Fa, what good stuff did you find? With your abilities, you actually need to hide it like this."

He used telepathy, so others couldn't hear him, but many recognized Tefaro, which further discouraged them from questioning Shaphat.

Xia Fa smiled slightly, pretending to be mysterious and not speaking. Instead, he drew out a trace of the Secret Titanium of Whispers of the Stars from the Black Pouch, gathered it at his fingertips, and gently tapped the back of Tefaro's hand.

Tefaro's agile, leopard-like body trembled suddenly, and his eyes momentarily lost focus, but then his face revealed a look of deep envy.

"You kid..."

He naturally needed, and even longed to, absorb the sacred metal, Whispering Stars Mytium, after all, he was also a signatory to the Gate of Stars. However, Tefaro understood that this time, he could not buy it from Shafa.

Because Xia Fa is also a signatory to the Gate of Stars, and might need it even more than himself, he wouldn't take what others desire.

Just then, the crowd suddenly parted, and several elderly men walked over.

These old men were all dressed in sea-blue whale-skin robes that covered their entire bodies, with only their withered hands and sparse hair showing.

However, each of their eyes shone with an eerie light, like an eagle about to swoop down from the sky, or a pack of wolves with green eyes in the dark night.

"Ancient whale-hunting families...these people are not easy to deal with..."

Tefaro muttered something, as if talking to himself, or perhaps reminding Shafa.

Immediately, the lazy expression on his face vanished. He gripped the scabbard of his scimitar with one hand, took a half step forward, and shielded Xia Fa behind him, seemingly ready to stand up for Xia Fa at any moment.

The old men, who seemed to have ill intentions, actually softened their sinister expressions somewhat when they saw Tefaro adopting this posture.

"You are...Tefaro, right? You should know that in Lord Silver Universe's earthly divine kingdom, many cardinals, archbishops and saints have quite a good relationship with me. It's not your place to stand out here, young man."

The elderly man at the head of the group stepped forward, his tone icy, showing no fear whatsoever of Tefaro.

Only then did everyone realize the immense, overwhelming pressure emanating from Him.

This... is actually a ruler!

Just as Tefaro was about to speak, Shafa reached out and stopped him, stepping forward to shield Tefaro behind him.

Immediately, Xia Fa, with a half-smile on his face and without the slightest fear, looked at the old man:

"Gentlemen, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to force me to buy or sell?"

The elderly man at the head of the group said with a forced smile:

"My name is Nerva, and I would like to discuss whale watching with you, a young and talented man."

Nerva!

Upon hearing this name, the expressions of many tourists around them immediately changed.

Given the exorbitant profits in the whale tourism industry, numerous related industries have naturally emerged around it.

Whether it was the pirates who occupied the Baron Ocean and specialized in hunting traveling whales,

Or perhaps it's the super hunters who dare to venture deep into mysterious forbidden zones to hunt down exotic traveling whales.

And the bosses of underground whale dissection farms who set up special venues for wealthy people to select and dissect traveling whales...

According to some enthusiastic individuals, there are over two hundred different industries related to whale tourism!

If we're talking about the most revered among them, standing at the very top of the hierarchy of contempt, then it's naturally the whale hunters.

Whale hunters, apart from a few with exceptional talent, are mostly passed down through generations in the form of families or master-apprentice relationships.

Among them, families with a history of only a few hundred or a few thousand years are directly called whale-hunting families, while families with a history of more than ten thousand years are called ancient whale-hunting families!

This is similar to the ancient alchemical kingdoms. Because they have stood for 30,000 years, they are called "ancient." This is both a testament to history and a testament to glory.

And this Nerva is the head of one of the major ancient whale-hunting families!

Last year, Nerva was the ultimate winner of the whale watching competition!

Xiafa had also heard of Nerva, a renowned name in the whale tourism industry. He was not only a highly skilled whale hunter but also a master.

However, he had nothing to fear and calmly responded:

"Of course, we can have a discussion. If they have ill intentions, I'll gladly oblige."

Nerva narrowed his old eyes and looked Xiafa up and down. He seemed to find it hard to understand this rather mysterious young man. He couldn't understand why Xiafa, who was not even a demigod, could face him, the ruler, so calmly.

Immediately, Nerva revealed a smile that was difficult to decipher:

"Your name is Xia Fa, right? I don't know who you learned your whale-hunting technique from, but you have indeed learned some real skills."

As he spoke, He turned and walked toward the traveling whale, which had been dissected by Shaphat and was the size of a house.

"This traveling whale has an eggshell-like skin and an island-like image in its eye. Because of these two similar images of 'egg' and its large size, it is priced at 50,000 gold pounds."

“In addition, the wolf teeth, the mallet tail, and the spindle folds are completely opposite to the image of an ‘egg’.”

"However, that is just the opinion of a mediocre person."

"In fact, this wolf tooth is the closest in shape to the 'greedy wolf' among the 371 types of wolf teeth of the traveling whale."

"Although the mallet tail is unremarkable, when combined with the whale teeth that resemble a ravenous wolf, it suggests that cracking or biting open the 'egg' inside will definitely yield something good."

"And the spindle folds mean that there are good things inside... related to spatial treasures."

Nerva raised his head, looked at Shafa again, and said with a forced smile:

"Furthermore, since you dissected the seven-colored light, I guess that inside the belly of this traveling whale, there is either the fruit of fallen stars, or the secret titanium of whispered stars about the size of a cherry, or the egg of the Star Dragon. Am I right?"

At that moment, Xia Fa felt a chill run down his spine.

It must be said that he truly deserves to be the head of the ancient whale-hunting family; he is indeed quite capable.

However, he didn't actually judge it the way Nerva claimed; it was just that the Nature Bee nudged his arm with its belly, telling him there was something good in there...

"Cough cough."

Xia Fa coughed lightly twice, making others think he was also skilled in whale hunting, which was much better than letting them think he was just lucky.

After all, many people would feel they deserve what they've gained if they accept the former, but it's inevitable that some people will be envious if they accept the latter...

Therefore, Pharaoh blushed and shamelessly agreed:

"I didn't expect you to have seen this level as well. You truly live up to your reputation, Senior Nerva."

Upon hearing this, the tourists around Xia Fa, who already admired him greatly, became even more solemn, their gazes filled with respect as they looked at him.

Even Tefal was almost fooled, looking at Xiafa with surprise, not expecting that Xiafa actually knew so much about whale-finding techniques!

"It's him again! It's that young man again! He just unearthed a five-colored light in another whale watching house, which contained a fragment of a mysterious treasure and sold for over three million! Now it's a seven-colored light!"

Suddenly, a strange cry rang out. Everyone turned around and saw a large, fat man wearing a platinum robe.

Many people immediately recognized him as Lord Murphy, one of the wealthiest nobles in the ancient alchemical kingdom and the younger brother of Emperor Nahoron.

As a result, everyone was surprised and looked at Xia Fa again.

So, this young man... really is a master of whale hunting?

He made two consecutive moves, both inside the fungus-level whale watching room, and one time he produced a five-colored light, and the other a seven-colored light.

Upon hearing this, Nerva's expression visibly darkened, as if he had completely confirmed his judgment.

The portly Duke Murphy, however, squeezed in with a flushed face, went straight to Xia Fa, rubbed his hands together, and adopted a humble and courteous demeanor:

"Xia Fa, nice to meet you. I am Duke Mofit. You should have heard of me. Emperor Nahoron is my older brother."

"Here's the thing, I'd like to hire you as my whale hunter, what do you think?"

"Here's a credit line of 30 million. Spend it as you like. If you lose money, it's on me. If you find something good, we'll split it 50/50!"

Upon hearing this, many tourists around were filled with envy.

A limit of thirty million gold pounds... that's more than enough to spend at this year's whale watching festival!

Xia Fa smiled politely and said gently:
