Off to the side, Bai Ling was watching with curiosity.
MO Lin didn’t speak either, just silently watching.
Although the little Flood Dragon girl was still somewhat resentful about Qin Changqing’s brutal defeat of her back then, she didn’t allow her temper to get the best of her and intentionally refuse to cooperate when faced with bigger matters at stake.
If she did that, she wouldn’t have been able to reach the Deifying stage.
Moreover, though Qin Changqing had beaten her and driven her away, in the end, he returned the Holy Artifact fragment to the Hai Clan and even came to help them now.
So, in her heart, she naturally wouldn’t harbor hatred towards someone like Qin Changqing.
It’s just that she couldn’t accept the defeat, so she wanted to improve herself first and look for an opportunity to compete with Qin Changqing once again.
This was quite normal.
She was a well-known prodigy in the Sea Clan of the North Sea. At a young age, she had reached the Deifying stage, and she was naturally proud of her achievements.
Yet, she had suffered such a big loss at the hands of Qin Changqing, which naturally made her feel depressed.
Despite her feelings, her curiosity about Qin Changqing grew more and more.
She also had to admit that Qin Changqing was very formidable.
He held his own against a Deifying opponent despite only being a Nascent Soul, and even when she transformed into a Flood Dragon.
After half a month of navigation, they finally arrived at the location of the first Spiritual Spring.
Qin Changqing went down.
“Senior, this is the first Spiritual Spring. We have specially sent people to guard it, lest it be destroyed by the Sea Beasts,” said a Snake Person warrior.
This Snake Person was the same one who had been injured by Qin Changqing in the land of the MermanRace. Now, the Snake Person held Qin Changqing in extremely high regard.
Qin Changqing had made him cough up blood while only a Nascent Soul back then, so now that he was a Deifying cultivator, this Snake Person was, of course, no match for him.
There indeed was a Sea Clan Nascent Soul guarding the area.
Qin Changqing came to the Spiritual Spring and began his observations.
This particular Spiritual Spring was small, covering less than a square meter, but if you look closely, the spiritual qi in the surrounding thousands of square meters of ocean was all converging here.
In the ocean, there was a unique feature: there were no Spirit Stone mines.
Once spiritual qi enters the seawater, it fuses with the water.
But, there are also spiritual veins under the sea, which are generally visible and move with the ocean currents.
After observing for several days, Qin Changqing began to place down the formation flags.
Then, he created a space devoid of water and began artifact refining.
Several months later, Qin Changqing took action once more.
The seawater of the Zhou Kingdom trembled, and the Spiritual Spring slowly floated up, successfully taken by Qin Changqing.
Of course, Qin Changqing only took the Spring Eye.
Now, three years had passed since Qin Changqing first arrived at the Sea Clan Holy City.
During these three years, the North Region remained peaceful and untroubled, with no major incidents occurring, otherwise, Qin Changqing wouldn’t have stayed here for so long.
Although it took so long, Qin Changqing considered it worthwhile.
Refining Holy Artifacts was a valuable experience for him.
Otherwise, even with his refining skills, without any top-grade treasures for reference, it wouldn’t be easy for Qin Changqing to refine top-grade treasures.
And these were no ordinary top-grade treasures.
This North Sea Spring Eye also inspired Qin Changqing.
Perhaps Qin Changqing could devise a new type of Holy Artifact and create one for the Qin family.
Thus, these three years were well worth it.
As for time, Qin Changqing had plenty of it.
Once everything was completed, Qin Changqing clapped his hands.
Next came the main event.
Instead of immediately assembling the components, he continued polishing them and then proceeded to process the Spiritual Spring Eyes.
Another year or so passed.
Finally, it was the fifth year.
“Rise!”
This year, Qin Changqing set up a large formation, drawing in a vast amount of energy.
The Hai Clan warriors around him continuously entered and exited, infusing energy.
When the energy had reached its peak, Qin Changqing shouted lightly and combined all the parts together.
“Boom!”
With a shaking sound, an extraordinarily beautiful spring emerged in the center of the square.
As soon as the spring appeared, the surrounding seawater changed somewhat, and an intangible wave rippled out in all directions.
“It was a success!”
“It must have been a success, terrific!”
“Senior is truly amazing!”
On the square, all the members of the Hai Clan could sense the formation of the Spring Eye, and one after another, they cheered.
Each Hai Clan member’s eyes were filled with gratitude and reverence when they looked at Qin Changqing.
Some Hai Clan young ladies even began to worship him.
For five years, they had watched Qin Changqing gradually rebuild the Holy Artifact!
The refining master of old, along with several decades of refiners, took a hundred years, while Qin Changqing only needed five.
Even if it was just rebuilding, it was still exceedingly impressive..
