Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets
Chapter 1472 - 704

Chapter 1472: 704

A huge quantity of Sea Salvaged Porcelain, precisely the most suitable items.

After storing away the items, Sean Knight swam further to the side.

On a farther part of the seafloor, a massive Spanish big ship lay quietly buried in the sand.

Many marine creatures had made this big ship their home, coming and going from parts not completely sealed by the silt.

Such a leisurely sight.

Seeing the contents inside the big ship, Sean couldn’t help but get a bit excited.

Although each treasure hunt always led Sean to discover and obtain the biggest treasure, as the known clues dwindled, he later found fewer treasures than before.

At that moment, he had discovered another one.

This big ship obviously originally carried a shipment of Gold and Silver Artifacts from America to here.

The greatest use of these artifacts was to buy raw silk, porcelain, and tea from China and then transport them to Central America, travel overland to the East Coast, and finally ship them to Europe.

After all, at that time, silks, porcelain, and tea from China were indeed luxury items.

A brick of tea could be exchanged for a golden bar in Europe!

An equal amount!

This Silver Road lasted 300 years, with about 50,000 tons of silver shipped to China through such channels.

This sunken ship had a capacity of about 300 tons, with around 100 tons of Gold and Silver Artifacts onboard, aside from the weight of crew and supplies.

Around the sunken ship were scattered many Gold and Silver Coins, bars, and other ornaments.

However, Sean’s gaze merely brushed over these, his attention drawn to a box in the ship, made of iron clad in silver and inlaid with gold in the middle.

Contained within the box was a sun-shaped sacred artifact crafted from gold, silver, and gemstones.

The sun had an eye in the middle—the sun was made of gold, likely symbolizing the golden sunlight, while the eye in the middle was a perfectly polished sapphire.

The holy flames surrounding the sun were crafted from silver and looked very vivid.

The entire sun disk, with its surrounding flames, had a diameter of about forty centimeters, with the gemstone the size of a fist.

The entire sun radiated a strong energy glow in Sean’s eyes, clearly, another sacred artifact from a tribe or a tribal group in America.

The energy content was incredibly shocking, and Sean faintly felt that if he could absorb all the energy contained within, he could rise a level!

This box was a must-grab.

Looking around the sunken ship, the majority was silver. Two-thirds of it were already cast as the well-known Mexican silver coins, while the remaining one-third was Silver Ingots, seemingly uncast.

A small portion was gold, with few golden coins but mostly golden bars. Having seen much gold, these amounted to around several tons.

This was indeed a massive fortune!

Without any hesitation, Sean broke through the rotting plank, which was covered with various marine life, and after entering he didn’t leave any stone unturned, collecting all the boxes filled with silver and gold.

This was the biggest fortune he had obtained recently.

Also, this ship was unlucky to have reached this earthquake-prone Port at such a time.

Sean benefited from it.

After collecting the surrounding gold and silver, Sean moved toward the box containing the sacred sun artifact.

As he reached out to touch the box, a mouth big enough for a head suddenly stretched out from behind it and bit at Sean!

Then the head disappeared, leaving only a thrashing body thick as a Water Bucket and snake-like!

The already weak Ship Cabin was directly smashed into a large gap!

This was a huge moray eel lurking in front of the box!

Perhaps it had become so large from absorbing the dispersed energy from the sacred sun artifact.

If it were an ordinary person caught off guard by such a sudden attack, they would surely be dead or crippled!

Such a large-sized eel, swallowing a few people was nothing.

The blood mixed in the seawater attracted many marine creatures looking for food. Sean collected the box, gathered the eel’s body, and quickly left the area.

Such a large creature might still be useful.

After he left that chaotic area, Sean stopped and started searching the nearby seafloor.

Some scattered gold and silver were beneath the silt, and Sean was like someone fishing for seafood, occasionally bending down to pick up an item.

Whether golden coins or Silver Ingots, all were indeed small gains.

With the gains from this big ship, Sean was very satisfied.

After searching the vicinity and collecting all the valuables, he swam back.

Circling the range of the fishing boat, Sean specifically passed by the two smaller yachts and saw that the team members were searching another sunken ship. He paid them no more attention and swam toward the big yacht.

As he surfaced, a team member immediately spotted him and came over to help.

Sean handed over the box found on the porcelain boat and the gigantic headless moray eel.

"It’s so big! Boss, did you kill this? That’s incredible!"

The team member exclaimed and immediately called others over.

Several team members, along with Lincoln Harrington, dragged the huge eel onto the boat.

With Elijah Hastings’s and others’ help, Sean also climbed onto the deck.

"I found a sunken ship and then encountered this big guy," Sean explained, "and this box. There should be some good stuff in here."

Of course, there were good items. Inside were two Blue and white plum vases from the official kiln, and although some seawater had seeped into the box, the damage wasn’t severe. Much better than the Sea Salvaged Porcelain.

And these vases were from the official kiln!

"This eel has gotten so big, I wonder if it’s tasty," Douglas Cooper mused as he eyed the eel.

"Whether it’s tasty or not, let’s cook it first!" Sean laughed, "How can you know if it’s tasty if you don’t try it?"

"Then let’s cook it!" Douglas eagerly awaited these words!

As the day darkened, Sean lay comfortably on the deck, enjoying days like these immensely!
