Whether starting from practicality or emotion, it is absolutely correct.

Yu Ziqing indeed didn't care about this matter; he doesn't like enslaving living people. No matter how servile and devout Fish Bone behaved, for an ally, he would always give basic respect.

Fish Bone was free to choose whoever they wanted, although whether Yu Ziqing nodded or not was the most critical.

"Sir, let me handle it."

Yu Ziqing did nothing, and Fish Bone voluntarily left.

After Fish Bone left, Yu Ziqing turned to the southwest corner and dug out two crystals he had buried months ago.

Upon careful sensing, there seemed to be an indescribable mystery inside the two crystals, and those power-less runes were imbued with an indescribable feeling.

Comparing them with the original version, they differed greatly, yet the feeling was right.

Yu Ziqing selected one with a more subtle effect, one that only a person with strong perception could feel the extreme mystery, but not explain it.

And when closing his eyes, he couldn't even sense the existence of the crystals.

Simply perfect.

This led Yu Ziqing to speculate whether the original sixty-four-sided crystal was related to some Immortal Herbs.

The guess was unverifiable; the remaining imitation was temporarily sealed, and Yu Ziqing quietly left with the crystal.

Quietly reaching the eastern part of Dali, he came to the place where the giant shark demon's corpse was handled, and silently dropped the sixty-four-sided crystal on the ground, the one that couldn't be sensed by perception.

The sand flowed, burying the crystal inside.

Yu Ziqing quietly left, waiting for someone to discover it.

Back then, when handling the giant shark demon here, the leaked blood, flesh, and various things tainted the land; all those were things that major forces wouldn't care about.

Later, smaller forces came to scavenge the remnants of benefits. Over time, the soil changed in interest, and quite a few people came to dig up the soil nearby.

It was said that using it to plant low-level Spirit Plant yielded good results, but the amount was too insignificant for any force to care about.

People nearby were willing to painstakingly pan for gold, and others were willing to purchase it, after all, it was convenient and cheap.

Several days later, some people digging soil here unearthed that imitation crystal.

The diggers could tell at a glance from the incomprehensible runes that it was valuable, and holding it was a crime.

They sold it that very day, securing the profit.

And the one who acquired the crystal was the Qiguang Trading Company in the eastern part of Dali.

Qiguang Trading Company indeed had capable people. After a brief appraisal, they knew this crystal was no simple object.

The news reached the big boss, who immediately understood it was what the White Water Egg wanted.

He voluntarily left an imprint, summoning the New No. Ten.

He took out a box, opened it, and displayed the sixty-four-sided crystal.

"The thing you wanted, take it away."

The New No. Ten looked at the boss of Qiguang Trading Company, feeling a bit complicated inside.

He knew the other person mistook him for the original No. Ten.

The New No. Ten recalled Yu Ziqing, who had previously said some words to him that he didn't quite understand.

Now seeing the crystal, he immediately got it.

"This thing is like a hot potato, I can't take it this way, that would harm you.

At the next auction of Qiguang Trading Company, just openly auction this off.

Leave the rest to me."

The New No. Ten left these words and turned away.

The boss of Qiguang Trading Company looked into the darkness, his eyes full of complexity. In the end, he closed the box, suddenly feeling relieved, and began laughing, laughing very happily.

That day, the crystal was listed in the next auction lineup.

This indeed was the best way for Qiguang Trading Company to handle it; selling it privately could have brought calamity.

Yu Ziqing didn't want this crystal falling into White Water Egg's hands, nor did he want Qiguang Trading Company to risk major disaster.

He just wanted this thing to appear in the open, and he wanted to know who was looking for it.

And then, whose hands it finally ended up in, he wasn't particularly concerned.

If it could fall into the hands of the Black Ship Saint, of course, that would be best.

He could use this to test who behind the Black Ship Saint was looking for this thing, and what it was.

Of course, if it didn't end up in the Black Ship Saint's hands, it didn't matter; Yu Ziqing still held another imitation.

If necessary, he could continue to develop the next version of the imitation.

It was initially put out to stir things up without any particular target.

Seeing the news spread, Yu Ziqing didn't even fan the flames. Within the Jade Tablet, there was already a channel for strange and unusual news, detailing that strange sixty-four-sided crystal.

Next, Yu Ziqing waited to watch the show.

...

In the seclusion place of Emperor Qian, he listened to a robed figure talking about the Qiguang Trading Company's auction, feeling a bit strange.

"It has appeared?"

"Indeed it has appeared, and in the exact place where the giant shark was disassembled; somewhat surprising, yet normal.

The crystal is peculiar; it can be seen and touched, but the Cultivator's sensing can't detect it.

It remained buried until someone nearby dug it out."

"Since it's appeared, go and take a look. If you can get it, get it; if not, it doesn't matter."

Emperor Qian was indifferent; back then, the one in the Void had asked the robed person to find it, but Emperor Qian never asked about it.

He'd been passively rolling along from the start, and he even thought it would be best if whatever the thing was, it never showed up.
