Chapter 191
Li Su was confident that the Sea Clan possessed many valuable items, presenting an opportunity for him to receive a substantial reward. Moreover, he intended to trade with the Sea Clan, recognizing the vast wealth the ocean held, which presented a chance to control this trade route. By doing so, he could effectively address the ancient issue from thousands of years ago, neutralize the hidden threats posed by the North Sea Clan, and turn them into allies. While Li Su hadn’t shared all the details with Bai Ling, he had outlined the plan.
“Alright, Su,” Bai Ling warmly embraced Li Su’s plan and offered him full support.
“Mo Lin, they’ve agreed. In two months, I will bring the craftsman to the Holy City,” Bai Ling informed Auger Loli.
Auger Loli swiftly replied to Bai Ling, “That’s great, thank you, Bai Ling!” Auger Loli was highly satisfied with the outcome. Concerned about inconveniencing Bai Ling, she left after spending a day together.
“Caiying, take Ling’er to have some fun,” Bai Ling instructed as she watched their daughter cling to Li Su. She called the mermaid Caiying over to take Li Ling’er out to enjoy herself.
“Bai Ling~” Once their daughter had left, Li Su embraced Bai Ling, and Bai Ling’s cheeks flushed. “For now, let’s keep your legs as they are, Bai Ling. Like this, crouch down…”
…
Third Layer of Nascent Soul!
After over half a month spent with Bai Ling, Li Su broke through to the Third Layer of Nascent Soul. This achievement was aided by the rewards for having a Spirit Root descendant with a Spirit Root value exceeding 600, along with the continued accumulation of rewards from having a Spirit Root descendant and offspring.
However, Li Su’s Spirit Root was still far from reaching the Fourth Rank. It seemed within reach, but he couldn’t quite attain it. Li Su thought he might need an exceptional Spirit Root descendant to help push him over the edge. Unfortunately, Li Ling’er’s contributions were linked to her bloodline, and that hadn’t upgraded Li Su’s Spirit Root yet.
The gap from the Fifth Rank to the Fourth Rank was quite substantial, and the one from the Fourth Rank to the Third Rank was likely to be even more significant. Li Su, however, wasn’t in a rush, as with his rapid progress, he was confident that even with a Fifth Rank Spirit Root, he would advance beyond Nascent Soul in a few hundred years. Compared to other cultivators, his progress was remarkably fast, and he understood the importance of taking it one step at a time.
This is working out well, Li Su thought. This time, he had most of his experience points to his craftsmanship, bringing his artisan experience to 6,000 years. After exceeding 6,000 years of craftsmanship experience, Li Su noticed another change. Now, 1,000 experience points could only add 250 years to his craftsmanship experience.
The higher he went, the more challenging it became to progress. With 6,000 years of craftsmanship experience, he believed he should be well-prepared to refurbish the Sea Clan’s sacred artifact. With some experience left, Li Su it all to alchemy. He had refrained from adding to his physical cultivation experience because he wanted to further strengthen his bloodline before doing so. Considering his current formidable strength, he would add to his physical cultivation experience when it would be more beneficial.
“Phew!”
Having absorbed all the accumulated cultivation and experience, Li Su took a long breath. The Third Layer of Nascent Soul – he had grown considerably more powerful once again.
After another half month, Li Su and Bai Ling set off again, heading for the Sea Clan’s Holy City. The reason Li Su had mentioned a two-month timeline was to allow a month for him and Bai Ling to spend together. During this month, spending time with his daughter and savoring romantic moments with Bai Ling, the Mermaid Queen, had been incredibly enjoyable.
After more than half a month of traveling, they finally arrived at a massive underwater city. This was the Sea Clan’s Holy City. freewebnøvel.com

“This is the newly constructed Holy City. The old one was destroyed,” Bai Ling explained. The Sea Clan’s ship entered the heart of the Holy City, where many Sea Clan elites awaited their arrival. Li Su noticed even more Sea Clan elites this time, including some with exceptionally formidable auras.
The Sea Clan elites, upon seeing the ship, approached one by one to welcome the arriving craftsman.
“Crab shell, you don’t need to grin like that. It might scare away our esteemed guest,” a Fourth-Rank Snake Person advised a Crab Person.
“Weren’t they telling me to smile?” protested the Crab Person.
“Well, not with teeth like that,” the Snake Person replied, unimpressed.
“What’s wrong with my teeth? They can withstand even biting cold iron!” the Crab Person retorted.
“Enough with the arguing. The guest is here,” the two argued, but they fell silent when a black-robed elder with twin horns on his head spoke sternly.
At this moment, the ship’s door had already opened, and Bai Ling was the first to emerge. All the Sea Clan elites perked up, wearing smiles as planned. This was their prearranged strategy to leave a good impression on their guests and convey the hospitality and warmth of the Sea Clan.
