One day later.
Aoki, King Dai, and the others returned to the island.
They left the Sea God Temple.
Before leaving, they subdued many water-type sprites.
The sprite they caught the most this time was Pearl Shells, and the second most was a group of Thousand Needlefish. There were about 100 of them.
They were lucky to have encountered a group of Thousand Needlefish. Otherwise, Aoki wouldn't have caught them one by one.
After all, if these sprites were scattered, it would be very troublesome to capture them.
It was easy to capture a group of Thousand Needlefish gathered together, but it was still very troublesome to defeat them all.
Although there were only 100 of them, which was several times fewer than Pearl Shells, subduing this group of Thousand Needlefish was much more troublesome than subduing the group of Pearl Shells.
This was because the Thousand Needlefish were water-type and poison-type sprites. If they weren't careful, they might be poisoned. Being poisoned in the wild was a very troublesome matter.
Fortunately, there was no Heavenly King-level existence in this group of Thousand Needlefish. Otherwise, it would really be difficult to deal with them.
As for why they had to subdue this group of Thousand Needlefish, it was because they could also be considered a sprite that could steadily produce materials.
Although it wasn't as fast as Pearl Shells, in terms of average value, the items produced by the Thousand Needlefish were actually not inferior to those pearls. They might even be worth a little more.
This was because the Thousand Needlefish could produce a sprite's portable item, poison needles!
That's right. The Thousand Needlefish could produce these things.
It was just that the process of producing poison needles was a little long.
When more and more poison accumulated on the surface of their bodies, some of the poison in their bodies would also be transferred to those poison needles.
When the poison needles grew to their limits, they would fall off automatically or artificially. Otherwise, the life of the Thousand Needlefish would be greatly hindered.
And these poison needles were the items that the Thousand Needlefish could produce.
Although the value of poison needles wasn't as high as the Seed of Miracles and Unmelting Ice, they weren't low either.
For trainers who used poison-type sprites, the value of poison needles was definitely higher.
If Aoki had a steady output of poison needles, he wouldn't have to worry about not having a place to sell them.
The Rocket Team was a very large audience.
Most of the members of the Rocket Team used poison-type sprites. Big Mouth Bats, Abba Monsters, Bumblebees, and other sprites were all poison-type sprites. Giving them poison needles could increase the power of their poison-type skills.
In addition to the Rocket Team, Aoki also had the Sky Team as a sales channel.
Therefore, there was no need to worry that no one would buy these poison needles. As long as they could produce them, they would definitely be able to sell them.
Capturing two large clans at once was equivalent to two stable sources of income.
Including the small diamond group in Fuye Town, there were three stable "money mines".
In addition to the Thousand Needlefish, Aoki had also captured some rare water-type sprites. These sprites could be cultivated and sold when the time came.
After returning to the island, Aoki led the elves to take action.
The first thing to do was to reroute the underground river and move it to the surface. This way, the elves on the island would be able to drink this energy-rich water, which would be very beneficial to their growth.
Then, in the name of training, he led the elves to dig two small ponds next to the lake in the center of the island.
The most suitable sprite for digging was, of course, Draconic Scorpion.
However, there was another sprite that was more efficient at digging than Draconic Scorpion.
That was Shaquila.
As long as it had the ability to control the ground, Shaquila alone could dig a decent sized pond.
It was just that with the cooperation of the elves, the process was faster.
The main purpose of these two ponds was to cultivate the two clans.
One of the ponds was slightly larger and was used to cultivate pearl shells. The other was slightly smaller and was used to cultivate the Thousand Needlefish.
The leader of the pearl shells and the leader of the Thousand Needlefish quickly compromised under Aoki's "friendly" conversation.
In any case, living in the Sea Temple was just a small lake. Now that they had changed places, their lives wouldn't change much.
Moreover, the water here was rich in energy. It wasn't much different from the water in the Sea Temple.
Soon, they accepted this life.
After the leaders of the two clans compromised, the elves under them no longer resisted.
Since their leaders had accepted it, what else could they resist?
Couldn't they just accept it obediently?
Moreover, there was another benefit of living here, and that was that there were delicious food. For the first time, they tried something called "energy cube".
This was also Aoki's way of giving them a taste of the sweetness. He told them that as long as they lived obediently and didn't do anything, they would have these energy cubes to eat every once in a while.
Anyway, they were just elementary energy cubes and wouldn't be worth much. Compared to the things they produced, it wasn't worth mentioning.
Of course, another purpose was that Aoki wanted to appease them by taking things from them.
Under Aoki's coercion, the pearl shells leader obediently took out the pearl that she had kept for who knew how many years. In addition to the most special one, there were some smaller ones, but their value wasn't as high as the biggest one.
Then, Aoki took out the pearl shells one by one. When they handed over the pearls, they could exchange them for delicious energy cubes.
Originally, these pearls weren't particularly valuable to the pearl shells. When they were living in the past, they would polish the pearls on their bodies when they had nothing to do.
Each pearl shell produced more than one pearl at a time, so Aoki didn't take them all away.
He only took away those that looked good in color and were more valuable. As for those that hadn't fully formed yet, he left them in their bodies and would collect them again after a while.
After sweeping through the pearls of more than 500 pearl shells in this pearl shell community, Aoki obtained a total of one extra-grade large pearl. This was obtained from the pearl shell leader. There was only one in total. There were also five extra-grade pearls, which were plundered from five quasi-heavenly king-level elves.
There were more than 20 extra-grade small pearls, and the rest were ordinary pearls and large pearls. There were some differences in color and quality between them, but overall, they were about the same.
There were more than 2,000 pearls in total.
This was a huge sum of money.
After plundering the pearl shells, it was time to plunder the Thousand Needlefish.
These elves had lived in the Sea God Temple for many years and basically didn't have many natural enemies.
Who would look for a group of elves with thorns and poison all over their bodies? Did they really have good teeth?
Therefore, the poisonous thorns on their bodies had already grown very long.
As long as they were cut, they could be used.
However, the toxins contained in the bodies of different levels of Thousand Needlefish were different, so the quality of the poisonous thorns produced was also different.
Among them, the poisonous thorns produced by the Thousand Needlefish leader were of the highest value. After Aoki cut them, he wouldn't sell them. He would equip his own elves with them first. Draconic Scorpion and Geng Gui could be carried around.
Moreover, a Thousand Needlefish wouldn't only produce one poisonous thorn. After plundering, Aoki harvested nearly 400 poisonous thorns of different quality.
These pearls and poisonous thorns obtained for the first time were a huge resource.
They could produce more in the future.
Although the quality might not be as good as the first time, and the quantity might not be as high as the first time, it was better in terms of stability.
