Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Chapter 193

“Our sea clan maidens are all exceptionally beautiful. If, sir, you are fond of any of them, don’t hesitate to express your interest. With your exceptional handsomeness, they would be more than willing, hehe,” the old man in a black robe said as he presented each item.

Among the displayed items, the sea clan maidens truly stood out for their beauty, except for races like the crab clan and shrimp clan. Many of them were exceptionally lovely. This time, the items included mermaids, snake maidens, and even some who had transformed into humans with alluring appearances.

These beings appeared to be sea nymphs, capable of taking on complete human forms. Then there was the Auger Lolita, a unique type with human and dragon bloodlines. However, the dragon bloodline was quite diluted, and it was uncertain how many generations had passed. Only the Auger Lolita, with pure dragon bloodline, exhibited primary dragon features – twin horns on their heads. Otherwise, they appeared quite similar to humans.

After all the items were packed into storage bags and handed to Li Su, the old man in a black robe invited him to a banquet. Li Su, however, prioritized examining the holy artifact fragments before anything else.

The old man was delighted with Li Su’s decision, which showed his practicality. This gesture quickly warmed the attitudes of the other strong members of the sea clan, and even the Auger Lolita’s icy gazes softened.

The old man in a black robe gave Li Su a jade slip containing detailed information about the sacred artifact’s creation. It described the history of the artifact and its crafting methods. The unassuming bead at the heart of the artifact had formed over countless years from a spring in the Northern Sea. This bead was the key to craft the sacred artifact. The master artificer had carefully designed the artifact, focusing on this bead, and created the Northern Sea Spring Eye. Unfortunately, most components of the spring eye had been irreparably damaged, except for this bead.

The information in the jade slip was incredibly detailed, offering insights into the crafting process, challenges, and more. For Li Su, it provided the specific knowledge of refining he needed. He could quickly understand everything inside the notes, given his expertise in refining. The master artificer appeared to be a Nascent Divinity-level artificer, a rare and exceptional skill level. The fact that the Northern Territories’ most powerful individual had persuaded this master artificer to spend a thousand years on this endeavor displayed their remarkable determination.

“It appears that when your refining skills become exceptionally formidable, even if your cultivation level is relatively lower, you will still earn the respect of others,” Li Su noted.

“Do you have any spirit spring sources prepared?” Li Su inquired after reviewing the information in the jade slip.

The strong members of the sea clan nodded in agreement. “Yes, we’ve been searching for hundreds of years and have discovered several spirit spring sources. However, we haven’t retrieved them yet, as we’re unsure how to do so without causing damage,” explained the old man in a black robe.

That was understandable, as spirit springs were deeply integrated into the local environment, and attempts by ordinary people to retrieve them could lead to destruction.

“We’ve also gathered the necessary materials. Please examine them, sir, to ensure they are sufficient,” the old man in a black robe spoke with increasing politeness. They presented many materials laid out one by one in the square.

Li Su meticulously inspected each item, which took nearly half a day to complete his assessment.

“We’re still missing a few items. Find a way to obtain them, and I’ll also require a few assistants,” Li Su requested.

The old man in a black robe responded, “Sir, please feel free to choose anyone to assist you.”

“I have some knowledge in refining, sir,” offered a snake person.

“I have some knowledge as well, and I possess great strength,” said a sea clan member who bore a resemblance to a character from a TV show Li Su had watched in his previous life, the Turtle Minister.

The other strong sea clan members stood tall, indicating their willingness to assist.

Li Su glanced around and then pointed to Auger Lolita Mo Lin and said, “Let her be my assistant, and the rest of you, join us.”

Li Su also singled out a few sea clan strong individuals who appeared to possess significant strength, planning to use them as laborers.

Mo Lin was surprised by Li Su’s choice but quickly agreed to the task. The sea vessel swiftly navigated through the waters, with Bai Ling and Mo Lin aboard, while the other sea clan members swam outside.

Li Su sat with a piece of paper and a pen, sketching a blueprint. He meticulously outlined the entire process of reshaping the Northern Sea Spring Eye step by step.

Though Li Su had accumulated six thousand years of experience in refining, crafting a sacred artifact was a new endeavor for him. The lowest quality for a sacred artifact was considered a top-grade treasure, generally suitable for Nascent Divinity cultivators to use.

Previously, Li Su had successfully crafted a mid-grade treasure-level version of the Flying Immortal Sword. However, he had never attempted to create upper-grade or top-grade treasures. These were typically associated with cultivators who had advanced beyond the Nascent Divinity level.

As Li Su contemplated this challenge, he carefully considered his options while rapidly sketching his thoughts on the blueprint.

Li Su’s pen was remarkable, as it could rapidly illustrate his thoughts. Whatever Li Su envisioned, the pen accurately depicted on paper. However, it could only illustrate specific thoughts on the steps and blueprints for crafting the sacred artifact.

Bai Ling watched curiously, and Mo Lin remained silent, observing quietly. Mo Lin had her focus on self-improvement and finding an opportunity to spar with Li Su again.
