Yan Miao didn't make Lu Ye wait too long this time, returning in less than half an hour.
She looked at Lu Ye with a somewhat reproachful expression and said faintly, "Little friend, do you know that you missed out on a good thing this time?"
"What good thing?" Lu Ye asked.
Yan Miao replied, "My Mermaid Race is an extremely rare race even in the entire Starry Sky, but those large races covet us not only because we are rare, but also because our race has some unique abilities."
Lu Ye nodded, "I've experienced the singing of your race, it is indeed wondrous."
So far, this was the first time he had felt something he shouldn't have, but even his Talent Tree couldn't restrain it!
Yan Miao chuckled, "If that's all, then it's fine."
"Is there another reason?"
"Naturally."
"I'd like to hear the details!"
Yan Miao said, "If a creature from a foreign race marries a pure woman of my Mermaid Race, then it is possible to obtain a unique Secret Technique."
Lu Ye was stunned. He didn't know about this. His understanding of the Mermaid Race was based on the records he read in the Dwarf Race's Rest Abyss Pavilion. There was no record of this, so he couldn't help but be curious, "What Secret Technique?"
Yan Miao shook her head, "It's hard to say. All kinds of Secret Techniques can be born, and there are no rules to speak of. However, there are records in the ancient books of my race that a human once obtained a kind of Eye Technique from my race. When this Eye Technique is activated, it can illuminate all directions and kill without leaving a trace. It is extremely strange and powerful."
Lu Ye thought for a moment. If such a Eye Technique really existed, then it was indeed powerful. "Do you regret it?" Yan Miao looked at him with some ridicule.
Lu Ye didn't respond. Did he regret it? There didn't seem to be anything to regret. "Let's start the transaction!" Lu Ye said.
Yan Miao curled her lips, feeling that this young human in front of her must be sick, otherwise, how could he have resisted the situation just now?
She clapped her hands and the door was opened. Strong Mermen walked in carrying a large box, a dozen or so boxes lined up in front of Lu Ye.
Yan Miao had the Mermen open the boxes, and in an instant, light illuminated the surroundings. These boxes were filled with Spirit Crystals.
Miao Miao said, "These are all the Spirit Crystals that my clan can use right now. I don't know how many of those Formation Disks you have, but you can give them as you see fit. In addition, my clan needs you to inscribe 200 Formation Runes. Do you have any problems with that?"
"No problem at all!"
The Mermaid Clan was indeed a generous race. Of course, this was also related to their current special living environment. With such a large Spirit Jade vein, they could produce Spirit Crystals frequently, so they naturally did not lack these things.
Comparatively speaking, Lu Ye was completely worthless to him. Inscribing runes was something he could do casually. Lu Ye had profited greatly from this transaction.
He suddenly realized that the richer one was, the richer one would be. Previously, he had to work hard to obtain Spirit Jades for his cultivation, but now, he did not have to worry about that at all.
He took out all the remaining formation discs he had on him and gave them to Miao Yan. There were hundreds of them, which made Miao Yan beam with joy.
He then took out a Storage Ring, poured out the seaweed inside, and stuffed the Spirit Crystals into it.
Miaomiao and the group of mermaids were speechless as they watched from the side. They felt that Li Taibai was too poor. He even collected the seaweed outside the temple as if it was a treasure. After a while, they finally collected all the spirit crystals.
"Little friend, if you have time now, I will arrange for someone to come over," Miao Yan said.
Lu Ye nodded. After Miao Yan led the group of Mermaids away, he sat down and took out various tools for inscribing runes.
After a while, a long line formed in front of the door. Obviously, Miao Yan had arranged for the candidates to be inscribed.
They were all female Mermaids. All of them had outstanding figures and beautiful appearances. Their small hands were soft as if they were boneless. When Lu Ye grabbed their hands to inscribe runes, there were even bold Mermaids who scratched his palm.
They were slapped hard by Lu Ye and became obedient.
Two hundred Mermaids, no matter how fast Lu Ye was, took almost a day to finish inscribing.
After the last Mermaid left, Lu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
The matter of the Mermaid Clan was settled. He had also toured the place under Bai Lu's guidance. Lu Ye didn't plan to stay here any longer. It was more important to hurry back to the Constellation Hall.
Just as he was packing up, a head suddenly poked in at the door. Lu Ye looked up and found that it was Bai Lu.
Their eyes met, and embarrassment flashed in Bai Lu's eyes, but she still said, "No one is here, right?"
Lu Ye shook his head, not knowing why she was acting so sneakily.
Only then did Bai Lu flash in and pull out another person from behind her. When Lu Ye saw her, he quickly got up and bowed, "Your Majesty!"
Bai Lu had actually brought the Mermaid Queen. Although she was young and her cultivation wasn't too high, her status was there. Lu Ye couldn't help but pay attention to her. He looked at Bai Lu curiously, not knowing why she had brought the Queen here, and why she was acting so sneakily.
"Bai Shuang also wants a tattoo. Can you inscribe one for her?" Bai Lu asked.
Bai Shuang should be the Queen's name.
Lu Ye said, "I can, but do the Great Elder and the others know about this?"
Bai Lu said, "You can't tell them, they won't agree." This was also the reason why she had secretly brought her sister here.
Lu Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and immediately said, "If the Great Elder and the others don't agree, this can't be done."
If they offended the Mermaid Clan because of this, it wouldn't be worth it.
"It's okay, the Great Elder and the others just don't allow any damage to the Queen's body, but if it's a tattoo, it won't cause too much damage." Bai Lu persuaded.
Bai Shuang also said something at this time, looking at Lu Ye eagerly, like a pitiful child who had seen her favorite toy but couldn't get it.
Meeting her clear eyes, Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh.
In the end, she was just a child who hadn't grown up. Although she was a Queen, this Queen's seat was probably not something she wanted to sit on.
Lu Ye could refuse Bai Lu because Bai Lu was an adult, but he couldn't bear to refuse a child's request.
"Come!" He sat down again.
Seeing this, Bai Shuang immediately smiled and quickly stepped forward, stretching out her small hand. She had clearly asked Bai Lu about the tattoo before, so she knew what to do at this time.
Lu Ye's previous actions were very quick, and his expression was also very casual because it wasn't difficult for him, but this time, his expression was meticulous, and he did his best to do it perfectly. After a short while, Lu Ye nodded, "It's done!"
Bai Shuang withdrew her hand and felt the tattoo on the back of her hand, smiling even more happily.
She then raised her head and said something to Lu Ye, and Bai Lu explained, "Bai Shuang said she wanted to give you a gift!"
Without waiting for Lu Ye to refuse, Bai Shuang took out a conch from somewhere and gently pressed it against Lu Ye's forehead.
This conch looked somewhat familiar. If it was magnified countless times, it should look like the Emperor Conch Palace.
Moreover, Lu Ye had seen such a conch before. Yan Miao had one. On the way here from the Constellation Palace, a Moon Jade Star Beast had attacked. Yan Miao had blown the conch in her hand, and the Moon Jade Star Beast had retreated.
However, the conch in Miao Yan's hand was golden, while the one in Bai Shuang's hand was jade. Lu Ye didn't know what the difference was.
The tip of the conch touched Lu Ye's forehead, and he immediately felt as if a mark had appeared on his forehead. Other than that, he didn't feel anything else.
He looked at Bai Lu in confusion, and Bai Lu smiled, "There are a few forbidden areas in the merfolk's territory. Normally, no one is allowed to enter. One of them is called the Celestial Conch Palace, and it's a special secret realm. Bai Shuang's gift to you is a chance to enter this palace!"
Lu Ye hesitated, "Since it's a forbidden area, it's not very good for me to go in, right?"
Bai Lu said, "You are an esteemed guest of our clan, and you have the queen's mark. Of course you can enter!"
Lu Ye was about to ask more about the Celestial Conch Palace when Bai Lu hurriedly said, "There's not much time left. I'll send the queen back first. I'll come find you later."
Saying so, she walked out with Bai Shuang. Before leaving, Bai Shuang looked back at Lu Ye, as if she was reluctant to leave.
Lu Ye suddenly found that being the king of this clan didn't seem to be a happy thing. Bai Shuang was so young, but there seemed to be all kinds of restrictions. Children of other clans didn't have such worries.
He was already prepared to leave, but Bai Shuang gave him a chance to enter the Celestial Conch Palace. Lu Ye decided to ask Bai Lu about the Celestial Conch Palace later. If it was really not suitable, then he wouldn't go in, so as not to offend the other party.
After a while, Bai Lu came back and called out to Lu Ye, "Let's go!" Lu Ye said, "Can you tell me about the Celestial Conch Palace?"
Bai Lu kept him in suspense, "It won't be fun if I tell you, but there's no danger there. You can rest assured that if you can pass the test of the Celestial Conch Palace, you can get some benefits. That place is a very interesting secret realm, I won't lie to you!"
She looked relaxed and happy, as if she had forgotten the previous awkwardness. Seeing this, Lu Ye couldn't say anything more and could only let nature take its course.
Soon, the two arrived at the Celestial Conch Palace. Lu Ye found that this was indeed a forbidden area, because when Bai Lu took him here before, she deliberately bypassed it.
The Celestial Conch Palace was inside the Emperor Conch Palace. Although it was a forbidden area, there were no Mermaids guarding it.
Thinking of the mark that Bai Shuang gave him, Lu Ye guessed that only those with the mark could enter the Celestial Conch Palace. That was to say, they must have Bai Shuang's permission, so there was no need for anyone to guard it.
The entrance of the Celestial Conch Palace was just a door, nothing special. Bai Lu said, "You go in, I'll wait for you outside.
"You're not going in with me?" Lu Ye asked.
Bai Lu said, "Everyone can only enter the Celestial Conch Palace once in their life. I've been in there long ago."
