Seeing that Lin Yuan understood his thinking, Steward Liu nodded.
"When the Island Lord was still here, he often hunted the Kings of the Deep Sea around East Pole Island and accumulated quite a few A-rank Transcendent Cores. They should all be in the Four Great Families' vaults now."
"But only the four family heads and a handful of senior members know exactly where those vaults are. You'll have to find a way..."
"Wait, A-rank cores?" Lin Yuan coughed in mild embarrassment.

Steward Liu nodded without pressing him and said instead:
"C-rank Transcendent Cores... the Island
