Yongle City, Huaxia's southernmost city, consisted of several islands.
There were no towering buildings or streams of traffic here, only white beaches, blue-green seawater, and a few crooked coconut palms.
The entire city had only a few thousand residents, most of them fishermen who made their living from fishing and the occasional tourists.
The pier was small, with only a few fishing boats and one or two speedboats moored there. The water was clear enough to see the sand, stones, and little fish swimming below.
Cai Jingwen stood beside the pier, took a map from her bag, and unfolded it. Several red circles marked the candidate sea areas she had arranged to have surveyed beforehand.
"Chen Hao, take a look at this area." "The water temperature and salinity here are both suitable, and it's close to shore, which makes transport convenient. Do you think it would work for farming violet coral?"
Chen Hao walked to the edge of the pier, faced the sea, and closed his eyes. His divine sense spread like water, passing through the seawater and the sand and stones on the seabed, extending in every direction.
The seawater was clear, its quality excellent, and it was rich in microorganisms, making it suitable for coral growth. The seabed's terrain was suitable too, with gently sloping stretches of sand and reefs that could form a natural farming area.
He opened his eyes and nodded. "The water quality here is good. It can't compare to Mirror Dusk Lake in the Jingwei Grotto, but it's more than enough for growing the ingredients for the Beauty Cream. Let's use this spot."
Cai Jingwen noted it down in her notebook.

His brow furrowed.
There was something deeper beneath the seabed. Not fish,
