The Sea Clan lacked expertise in crafting, so if this craftsman was skilled enough to help them reforge the sacred artifact, they could seek the person’s assistance in crafting powerful artifacts in the future. Auger Loli was naturally among these Sea Clan elites, and when she saw Bai Ling, she approached her.

Li Su, in his Nascent Soul state, had fought against her, a Nascent Soul-level cultivator, and won, which had left her incredibly frustrated. Little did she know that during their battle, Li Su had even experienced a breakthrough and had soundly defeated her.

Auger Loli had not forgotten that face of Li Su’s. She had not expected Li Su to come to the Sea Clan’s Holy City. While the issue of the sacred artifact fragment had been resolved, the Sea Clan harbored no more ambitions towards the Northern Territory. However, Auger Loli always sought an opportunity to regain her reputation.

No matter what, she needed to defeat Li Su to regain some dignity.

“Mo Lin, he is the craftsman I invited. Lord Li Su, Lord Li Su’s craftsmanship is truly outstanding. He can even forge top-tier treasures. Helping us reforge the sacred artifact should be no problem,” Auger Loli hadn’t had a chance to speak before she heard Bai Ling’s voice. Her expression froze. Li Su was a skilled craftsman invited by Bai Ling.

“Haha, Master, welcome, welcome! Your presence here is truly an honor for us!”

At this moment, the elder in black attire approached. The other Sea Clan elites gathered around, each with a smile on their face. Even those not accustomed to smiling managed to squeeze out a smile. These Sea Clan elites were indeed incredibly warm and welcoming.

“How is it?” More than a dozen Sea Clan Nascent Soul cultivators appeared somewhat astonished. These were the Sea Clan Nascent Soul cultivators who had followed Mo Lin to the Northern Territory. There was also a Snake Person Nascent Soul cultivator who had been hit by Li Su, causing him to spew blood, equivalent to the Ninth Layer of Nascent Soul.

“By the way, Mermaid Queen, what about the benefactor who returned the sacred artifact fragment to us? We should properly express our gratitude,” the elder in black attire inquired.

“Mo Lin, the benefactor who returned the sacred artifact fragment to us, is Lord Li Su. Lord Li Su is a Nascent Soul cultivator with a significant reputation in the Northern Territory. During your previous attempt to seize the fragment from the Azure Mist Sect, Lord Li Su understood the circumstances and decided to find the fragment to resolve the enmity between the Sea Clan and the Northern Territory,” Bai Ling explained.

“So, our benefactor is also Lord Li Su!” The elder in black attire gazed at Li Su with an even warmer look.

“Sir, please accept our respect!” The elder said and then bowed to Li Su. The other Sea Clan elites followed suit, placing their hands forward, bending at the waist, and bowing down. This was the highest level of respect the Sea Clan could offer. As Sea Clan elites, they rarely extended such courtesy to anyone.

The more than ten Sea Clan elites who had seen Li Su outside the Azure Mist Sect exchanged glances and, following suit, also bowed down. Auger Loli ‘Mo Lin’ turned back and saw that many Sea Clan elites were bowing. She, too, had no choice but to join them in bowing.

Even though Li Su had defeated her, if he had genuinely returned their sacred artifact fragment and was now a skilled craftsman capable of reforging it, Mo Lin had to put aside her past grievances. Despite still feeling unsatisfied and wanting another match with Li Su, she knew she had to move past it.

“Sir, this is a grand gift prepared for you. Please accept it,” the elder in black attire said, offering a gift to Li Su.

After bowing, the elder in black attire, with two horns on his head, clapped his hands. Immediately, numerous Sea Clan maids came forward, carrying platters of items.

“This is the Ten Thousand-Year Spirit Blood Coral, which can nourish the body, enhance vitality, and extend lifespan,” the elder in black attire introduced a platter of blood-red coral.

“This is Sea Silkworm Silk clothing. When worn in a place with sufficient moisture, it can render you invisible and expand your perception range underwater,” the elder continued.

“And this is the Mirage Sea Divine Flower. Consuming it significantly enhances your spiritual power and grants illusion-like abilities. If combined with other elixirs and refined into a pill, the effects will be even better.”

“This is Abyssal Seabed Iron…” The elder in black attire continued with his introductions, detailing each of the gifts they had prepared.

The Sea Clan had prepared various gifts, each of them highly valuable. For example, the Mirage Sea Divine Flower, with a single bloom, could enhance spiritual power by at least a hundred years and offer the chance to gain the ability to create illusions.

There were also numerous rare and precious treasures from the sea, many with considerable age, making them highly valuable to the Sea Clan. The gifts were diverse, including spiritual herbs, materials, and treasures exclusive to the sea. Several dozen maids were carrying these items alone. The Sea Clan’s expression of gratitude this time wasn’t mere words. They genuinely presented a substantial number of valuable items.
