Ye Luo helplessly glanced at her.
"You’re the Saintess, after all. Acting like this might damage your image, don’t you think?"
"Hmph, what? Are you disgusted by now? This is just how I am! If you’re disgusted, then don’t touch tonight!"
Hearing this, Ye Luo felt awkward. Fortunately, Li Ba and the little girl beside them acted as if they hadn’t heard a thing, rely admiring the street scenery.
However, their greatest gain from this outing wasn’t so ocean treasure but a piece of news!
That in a few days, there would be a large-scale healer selection event!
Those outstanding in the dical path selected from the event would qualify to diagnose the ancestor!
On the other hand, it also implied that the old ancestor of Divine Spirit Island probably didn’t have long to live, resorting to such a thod!
Yet, it felt strange. If it were normal lifespan nearing the end, naturally, one should seek life-extending treasures. Focusing on healers instead... could the ancestor have contracted so mysterious ailnt?
"Ye Luo, do we really need to participate in this healer selection? I think we should focus on finding a way back to Divine Healer Valley, or at least return to the mainland. Whether the ancestor lives or dies, what does it have to do with us!" the Saintess said discontentedly.
Indeed, she now regretted coming overseas.
Li Ba regretted the most. With his departure, his sister was left in the care of servants under the Saintess’ instructions. Who knew what changes might occur?
But he was helpless now. On Divine Spirit Island, leaving wasn’t just up to them.
"That’s probably unwise. The dical skills of Divine Healer Valley are renowned throughout the Sixth Region. The old ancestor of Divine Spirit Island likely values you greatly. Even if we manage to escape, the ancestor would probably capture us imdiately. We might as well treat him!"
The group understood the core of the problem.
"I wonder what illness this ancestor has. Hopefully, we can heal it," the Saintess said with so worry.
Reports suggested the ancestor was quite cruel. Those who failed to heal him rarely left Divine Spirit Island alive.
However, since Ye Luo and his group knew of this, other forces also understood. Why were so many rushing here?
It was for the reward!
Firstly, anyone who could heal the ancestor would be given the ancestor’s great-granddaughter, the Princess of Divine Spirit Island, in marriage! Additionally, they’d be rewarded with a Sea Spirit Pearl!
Many had no idea what this Sea Spirit Pearl was, as it was extrely scarce. It was the ocean’s essence, greatly aiding a cultivator’s realm improvent!
Undoubtedly, other secrets lay within. Otherwise, why would so many try their luck?
However, everyone knew failing to cure the ancestor might be deadly, but the danger only targeted the healer, not those behind them.
So, many cultivators ca here with a resolve to die! As for their affairs, their backing forces had sorted them!
Though it seed unwise, the benefits were substantial!
At the very least, building a good relationship with Divine Spirit Island ant more entry opportunities, leading to nurous advantages!
Normally, one could enter Divine Spirit Island no more than twice a year.
But those with close ties to Divine Spirit Island could enter over a dozen tis a year or without limits!
Divine Spirit Island was the largest trade site among overseas forces! The benefits within needed no explanation.
At night, Li Li specifically ca to explain this, bringing two tokens. Even a force like Divine Healer Valley only had two spots for the selection!
The reason being, too many people were coming! Two spots per force were already quite generous!
Many forces went to great lengths competing for spots.
"See, we’re relatively fortunate!" Ye Luo chuckled wryly.
The two spots naturally went to the Saintess and Ye Luo.
Actually, the little girl’s healing abilities were formidable, leveraging rules of power. Ye Luo and the Saintess couldn’t do that.
But her identity was special, so Ye Luo wouldn’t expose her.
Then, the Saintess posed a sharp question.
"If I heal the ancestor and he insists on marrying to Divine Spirit Island’s Princess, what should I do?"
Without a thought, Ye Luo replied, "Marry her, obviously! Divine Spirit Island’s princess isn’t unpresentable, right?"
"The problem is, I can’t enjoy it!"
"That’s not an issue; I’ll enjoy it for you!"
"Go to hell!"
Li Ba and the little girl were immune to this banter. The duo seed to have undergone a chemical reaction, growing increasingly shaless.
Especially the Saintess, who seed to have transford entirely.
Days later, the selection event comnced!
For this, Divine Spirit Island opened up a massive mountaintop for the contest venue!
Such grand scale showed how much Divine Spirit Island valued this selection!
When Ye Luo and his group arrived, the square atop the mountain was already packed!
Not only that, the attending cultivators were from various races. Ye Luo’s group even saw people from Tianzong and the Heavenly Sword Sect!
Most of these attendees were rely observing. They weren’t aiming for the Sea Spirit Pearl.
In fact, the Sea Spirit Pearl’s effectiveness was limited on land but far greater in the ocean.
Of course, races like the Dragon Clan disdained coming, stating sea beasts were rely lowly reptiles unworthy of the Dragon Clan’s attention!
Ao Long once told Ye Luo this, leaving Ye Luo speechless. How conceited could the Dragon Clan be?
Divine Healer Valley had its spot, envied by other forces.
Only major forces or those centered on dical path inheritance received such treatnt.
While not a major force, Divine Healer Valley’s dical path was reputable in the Sixth Region.
This dical path competition was personally hosted by Divine Spirit Island’s Grand Elder!
This Grand Elder was famous not only on Divine Spirit Island but among all overseas forces.
Even comparable to other forces’ ancestors.
