Someone said nearby, “You think you are buying white cabbages?!”
……
After Huan Qing Yan and Bai Li Zi Xi discussed, they had two hours as the time limit. Whoever harvested the most pearls will win.
The match officially started!
Bai Li Zi Xi walked to an area where oysters were more densely gathered and placed her hand on top of an oyster, sensing.
She shook her head and gave up.
Next, she continued to place her hand on another oyster and use her spirit energy to detect. Giving up very quickly once again.
When she touched the fifth one, she used her hand to open it without any hesitation. Inside, was a shiny pearl the size of a date!
Everyone shouted in surprise, “Woah! So awesome, found one the moment she opened it. As expected of the Saintess!”
“When the Saintess acts, she already knew the outcome. Truly awesome…”
When they turned to look at Huan Qing Yan, all they saw was her looking to her left and right. If one did not know better, they would have a.s.sumed that she was there to be an observer instead.
Dorna was slightly worried as he tugged on her skirt, “Foolish Girl, she is using her higher cultivation level to sense and detect what is inside to find the pearl. It is a cheap trick, and you should quickly start taking action.”
Since the other party was also using a trick, even if Huan Qing Yan uses the same method, her cultivation level which was lower than the Saintess might not be as accurate as well. That was why Dorna urged her to start.
Huan Qing Yan displayed a problematic look, “Okay, I will start looking for pearls then. I am just afraid that someone would say I bully her, that is because I will surely find more than her!”
The people who were watching all laughed out loud when they heard her, “This lady sure knows how to brag, this bro likes.”
“Indeed, her bragging ability is nearly at the level of bro’s!”
When Bai Li Zi Xi heard her, she said, “It is still hard to say whether you can find it or not. It seemed like you have never found one ever since you entered this place? Do you only know how to have a glib tongue?”
“That’s right. The Saintess is certainly correct…”
A group of bootlickers immediately followed up.
Huan Qing Yan’s ears nearly grew calluses when she heard them; even in this day and age, bootlickers would always exist.
She did not reply but walked to the side of an oyster. She imitated the Saintess’s actions when detecting pearls and casually, she placed her hand on top of it…
“Eh, there seems to be one!” Huan Qing Yan was surprised.
Everyone once again was unable to help it but laugh, “You found a pearl on your first try? Are you daydreaming?”
“That’s right. The Saintess only found one after checking five and has already checked several now, yet there was none. Yet you found one immediately on your first try, how is that possible…”
“Ah, impossible! I must be blind! What is that? A pearl? Its… its… really a pearl?”
……
Ignoring those sneering people, Huan Qing Yan opened the oyster and effortlessly took a pearl out from within it.
The pearl was not small; it was the size of a walnut and was pink, a Beauty Pearl as well!
It shined to the point of blinding the observers.
The business person started shouting, “Buying pearls. Beauty Pearls from five hundred thousand onwards, price negotiable for larger sizes!”
“Awesome. To acquire a pearl on the first try.”
……
The happiest was inevitably Dorna. Under his solemn expression was excitement that he was barely suppressing.
On the other side, Bai Li Zi Xi’s eyes turned dark, and her actions started to become faster.
To think that Huan Qing Yan managed to acquire such a large pearl!
Just on their first pearl, she had already received losses. Firstly, Huan Qing Yan’s pearl was larger; next was that her pearl was a Strength Pearl and not a Beauty Pearl. In this place, Beauty Pearls are the most valuable.
