Master of Strange Dao

All the way to the East Sea, passing through the Abyssal Rift that can only be crossed with a Token.

Deep in the East Sea, the Old Dragon King, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes.

The Old Dragon King's massive true form slowly shrank and transformed into a human form. He waved his hand, signaled his guards to remain as they were, and quietly disappeared.

Minghu Island, a big island in the East Sea.

It's a transitional zone between the near-sea area and the deep-sea region.

The environment is quite good, but there's no resource to speak of.

Moreover, the human side wouldn't occupy it, considering it unsafe, and the Sea Clan didn't like living on islands either, so it remained uninhabited.

Gradually, during stable periods, it became a place for the Humans and Sea Clan to trade.

On the surface, they don't get along, but privately, where there's profit, there's business opportunity.

Trade still has to be done.

Certain sea resources are needed by the Humans, and the Sea Clan also requires some items from the Humans; everyone gets what they need.

Gradually, the island even acquired two names, each side calling it differently. By hearing the name, one can distinguish the other's identity.

Yu Ziqing arrived on Minghu Island; recently, it's been stable, and the island was quite bustling.

No one occupies it, but there were quite a number of buildings.

The buildings on the west side of the island belonged to the Humans, and the east side belonged to the Sea Clan. In the middle, there was a city, which was the core place for trading.

Everyone tacitly agreed to certain rules, which were strictly enforced here due to the involvement of interests.

Whoever doesn't follow the rules won't be included.

Yu Ziqing reached the spot, contacted No. 6, and soon found a shop in the central city.

As Yu Ziqing entered the shop, he glanced to the side, vaguely sensing that there was a familiar presence.

Although he couldn't sense any aura, relying on the Dayan Preface, he could infer and deduce some things.

He didn't sense any danger, so Yu Ziqing stopped paying attention.

On the other side, the Old Dragon King opened his eyes, feeling puzzled.

It's only been a few years, and during the time he took a nap, that little guy had grown so rapidly that he could sense his presence.

The Old Dragon King sighed inwardly; Humans are like this, advancing terrifyingly fast.

Yet similarly, they die quickly as well.

Once, he slept a while and on the Human side, a top tier strongman rose and fell.

Fortunately, otherwise, they might not have been able to hold onto their territories in the sea.

Entering the trading room, a girl with jade horns on her head, her face seemingly carved out of fine jade, was already there waiting.

Seeing Yu Ziqing, the girl flashed her Seventh Floor ring.

Yu Ziqing also flashed his ring, confirming his identity.

Yu Ziqing thought of the familiar presence he sensed earlier, having a moment of realization.

No wonder, a dragon girl of unknown variety, never seen or heard before, must have someone secretly protecting her.

He must have seen the person providing hidden protection.

"Can I see the Ox Devil's eyeballs?" The dragon girl looked hopeful, completely oblivious to doing business.

Yu Ziqing waved his hand, producing two Glazed Balls, each sealing an Ox Devil's eyeball inside.

The dragon girl held the Glazed Balls, carefully sensing them. A peculiar power rose from within her, a gentle glow enveloping her.

Yu Ziqing squinted slightly; this power, this radiance, resembled Ao Qing's mother.

Yet it was different, a lot purer, definitely not one of the recorded Dragon Clan members.

Moments later, the dragon girl wore a trace of joy on her face and took out a box.

"This is Nine Heavens Breath Soil."

Yu Ziqing just took a glance and put it away immediately. He didn't actually recognize Nine Heavens Breath Soil; he only sensed its aura matched the accounts.

Regardless, the other party wouldn't provide fake goods.

The transaction went smoothly, and after completion, the dragon girl impatiently held a Glazed Ball in each hand, her power rising again to envelop the two eyeballs.

At this moment, Yu Ziqing paused his steps and glanced back.

He finally realized what that gentle glow resembled.

"Emperor's Liquid."
