Chapter 310: Awesome!
Next, they should be finding the fortuitous opportunities on this island.
Just then, a shocked look flashed across the Mermaid Princess’ face. She took out a palm-sized jade plate, which was vibrating intensely.
Yu Pianxian took a deep breath and executed several hand seals. The plate gradually stopped vibrating.
Meanwhile, small red dots appeared on the originally flawless jade surface.
Yu Pianxian was stunned.
Too many. How could there be so many?
It was far beyond what she had imagined!
Ao Wu peered over her shoulder and counted. He saw five small dots on the jade plate.
He smiled. “Sister Pianxian, what is that?”
Yu Pianxian took a deep breath. “This is a special treasure-seeking jade plate that belongs to my race. It can locate Sea God’s Star Tears within a certain radius.
“Never expected for this island to have so many Sea God’s Star Tears. It is beyond imagination!”
Each small red dot represented one Sea God’s Star Tear?
Qi Shaoxuan’s eyes brightened. He had used a Sea God’s Star Tear before and knew how effective it was.
To these prodigies, every second counted. The value of one Sea God’s Star Tear was even higher than a superior-grade Spirit artifact.
After all, as powerful as a superior-grade Spirit artifact was, it was just an external supplement. But the Sea God’s Star Tear could directly strengthen one’s soul and enhance one’s abilities.
Let’s just look at Qi Shaoxuan. He had multiple Divine artifacts on him, but those supreme-grade Divine artifacts were useless to him then.
He was willing to exchange all of them for one Sea God’s Star Tear. At least, it would directly enhance his power.
...
The Sea God’s Star Tear was extremely beneficial, and it was also very rare.
Chaotic Star Island only opened once every three years. Less than 100 Sea God’s Star Tears would appear each time.
These 100 Sea God’s Star Tears would always end up being found and used by those prodigies to enhance their power and achieve better refinement.
Only a small number of prodigies would bring their Sea God’s Star Tear out onto the market to sell.
As a result, it was an extremely rare and expensive commodity.
“Five red dots. Does this mean there are five Sea God’s Star Tears? Even if we find nothing else on this island, this alone will be a great loot.”
A greedy smile appeared on the Crab Prince’s face. “The Divine Firmament Saint does have astonishing providence. You just chose an island at random, and it contains so many treasures.”
Yu Pianxian shook her head. “No, not just five Sea God’s Star Tears.”
Everyone was shocked. Yu Pianxian continued to stare at the jade plate. “It is not easy to detect the aura of a Sea God’s Star Tear. My jade plate can only detect Star Tears within a radius of several miles.
“And this island is at least hundreds of miles wide. This means there might be a lot more Sea God’s Star Tears in the rest of the island!”
At that, Yu Pianxian flew around the periphery of the island.
The positions of the red dots on the plate were indeed shifting accordingly. Some started to shift out of the jade plate.
At the same time, new red dots appeared elsewhere on the plate. About three to eight red dots were on the plate at any one time Yu Pianxian flew around.
It proved that there were many more Sea God’s Star Tears on this island!
Oh!
Even though they were all core prodigies of the various North Sea ocean races, this piece of news was still a great shock to them.
If there were already five Sea God’s Star Tears within a radius of 10 miles, how many more would there be on this island?
How many Sea God’s Star Tears would there be in this island, which was over hundreds of miles wide?
Meanwhile, there were also Sea God’s Star Tears scattered in other areas. Was a Sea God’s Star Tear something that could be that commonly found?
...
Yu Pianxian gazed at Shen Tian. Her beautiful eyes were full of worship and passion.
The information she had gathered earlier about Shen Tian had indeed been right. He was the Son of Providence.
There were many smaller individual islands within the Chaotic Star Island region, yet Shen Tian had just chosen one at random, and there were already so many Sea God’s Star Tears within.
If they found them all, it would be at least 300-400 Star Tears.
What did this mean?
If they spread this information out, all the North Sea races would go crazy over this.
The Divine Firmament Saint was really a lucky star!
Not only was he exceptionally handsome, but he was also talented beyond imagination. Perfect.
Love! Love! Love!
Shen Tian smiled. “According to the jade plate, this island has more than enough Star Tears for us.
“In my opinion, Princess Pianxian contributed quite a bit to find these stars. She should take a 40% cut of the stars.
“The remaining will be equally split amongst the rest of us. Agreed?”
To be honest, the Sea God’s Star Tear was a wonderful item. But three were more than enough for one person.
After all, there were diminishing returns in using Sea God’s Star Tears. The effects from a second usage would be halved, while the third time would be halved again.
Shen Tian did not lack money, so he did not mind giving most of the loot to Yu Pianxian in exchange for raising his own providence.
Anyway, these Sea God’s Star Tears were originally Yu Pianxian’s fortuitous opportunity. He was just tagging along for the ride.
“How can we have that? If not for Brother Tian leading the way, I would not have discovered this island. How can I take 40% of the loot?”
Yu Pianxian hurriedly shook her head.
To be honest, the amount of riches one could get from hundreds of Star Tears was enough to make anyone go crazy.
If Shen Tian and the rest were just normal prodigies, Yu Pianxian would not be one to stand on ceremony. Who would say no to more money?
Yu Pianxian was the Mermaid Princess. She was not a fool with low EQ.
As tempting as riches were, stealing other people’s fortuitous opportunities was akin to killing their parents. Stealing another’s treasure was even worse.
Yu Pianxian was no weakling, but her battle prowess was at most on par with the four princes’. She was no match for Ao Wu at all.
Not to mention there were also Qi Shaoxuan and Shen Tian in this team. She would be a fool if she insisted on taking 40%.
On top of that, Yu Pianxian really couldn’t be that thick-skinned when looking at Shen Tian’s handsome face.
The Sea God’s Star Tear was important, but Shen Tian’s good impression was just as crucial.
Yeap, maybe even more important!
...
Qi Shaoxuan looked at Shen Tian thoughtfully. His eyes sparkled.
He had always regarded Shen Tian as his greatest rival, whether it was battle prowess or providence.
But this was the first time he personally witnessed just how powerful Shen Tian’s providence was.
It had an earth-shattering effect on Qi Shaoxuan!
“I also don’t think that’s right!”
After some thought, Qi Shaoxuan spoke up again. “If we go according to our contributions, we should give Brother Shen half first and then allocate a portion to Princess Pianxian.”
As much as he liked to claim credit, Qi Shaoxuan still had some dignity.
If it was truly Shen Tian’s contribution, Qi Shaoxuan would be fair.
Shen Tian was taken aback by Qi Shaoxuan’s words.
According to the original script, Yu Pianxian should be trying to match up with Qi Shaoxuan for the trials.
Meanwhile, Ao Wu and the four princes were just along for the ride.
The final allocation should have been 30% to Yu Pianxian, 30% to Qi Shaoxuan, and the remaining 40% percent shared amongst Ao Wu and the four princes.
This was their shared fortuitous opportunity!
But now that Shen Tian was leading the way, there was really no reason to give Qi Shaoxuan an extra portion. He could only get an equal share of the remainder like the rest of them.
As long as he could get part of the fortuitous opportunity, Qi Shaoxuan’s providence would also increase. This was some compensation.
But Shen Tian didn’t expect Qi Shaoxuan to speak up for him, to give him an extra share.
How could I accept this...
Although the Sea God’s Star Tear was a good item, providence was more important.
After all, if he could raise all their providence, he could find even more fortuitous opportunities in the future.
...
“Why don’t we apportion the Star Tears after we get them?”
Since no one seemed to appreciate the free fortuitous opportunity that he was handing out, Shen Tian had no choice but to make this suggestion.
Everyone exchanged glances. They felt that this was a pretty good idea. After all, one must make a contribution first before talking about taking a share of the rewards.
After deciding on this, everyone followed Yu Pianxian’s directions toward the locations of those Star Tears.
Their search process was not as easy as they imagined.
Although the Star Tears were useless to those living creatures in Chaotic Star Island, they liked the aura they exuded.
They were not at all happy that some outsiders were going to steal the Star Tears away.
Every time someone found a Sea God’s Star Tear, they would end up fighting those living creatures, and it was no easy battle.
Whether it was a local living creature or a transmogrified one, their battle prowess was equivalent to that of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator.
The most powerful of them could even hold themselves quite well in a fight against Qi Shaoxuan.
If not for the group’s good teamwork, while those creatures more or less only fought for themselves, there was a chance Shen Tian’s group might not win them.
And over this entire process, Shen Tian was always standing by the side, twiddling his thumbs.
He would only step in when they encountered really challenging opponents.
It was not that he was lazy or unwilling. But if he stepped in, there would be nothing left for the rest to do.
By then, what reason could he give for sharing the goodies with the rest of his team? He couldn’t possibly just give each just 1% or 2%, right?
You would get your just desserts if you were too greedy. It was easier to just sit back and relax and enhance everyone’s providence at the same time.
...
After seeking out the treasures and Qi Shaoxuan’s and the rest’s intense battles, all the Sea God’s Star Tears on the island were more or less collected.
They had already collected 502 Sea God’s Star Tears. And a whole five days had already passed.
After some haggling, they finally decided on an allocation method for the Sea God’s Star Tears.
Shen Tian had discovered this island and always stepped in to settle challenging battles. Thus, he was allocated 40%.
Yu Pianxian was the one who knew the exact locations of those Sea Stars and was given 20%.
Qi Shaoxuan put in the most effort for the battles and was awarded 20%.
Ao Wu was the Dragon Prince, and he received 10%.
The four princes were just along for the ride, and they shared the final 10% equally. Even so, they were all grinning from ear to ear.
After all, with 502 Sea Stars, even 2.5% would still give them about a dozen stars each.
If they converted that to Spirit Stones, it would be a staggering amount.
It was more than enough for them to cultivate all the way to the Mighty Prowess (Soul Formation) stage!
Even if they didn’t get any more fortuitous opportunities for the rest of the trial, this loot alone was enough to make this experience worth it.
...
After the Sea God’s Star Tears were allocated to everyone, Shen Tian felt light and airy all over.
The top of everyone’s heads was dazzling. It was like a spotlight had been lit above them.
There was only one word to describe the feeling of benefiting from the fortuitous opportunities of seven lucky people—awesome!
