“Long Han, I need some materials.” Then, Qin Changqing spoke up.
He planned to ask Long Han for some artifact refining materials to use for crafting Dao artifacts.
Needless to say, the materials required for crafting Dao artifacts are extremely rare.
Qin Changqing was somewhat worried whether they could be found in the Vast Wave Realm.
He hasn’t seen a Dao artifact yet, but Qin Changqing found some good references in the Guiyuan Sect which he could use to attempt crafting one.
“Qing, follow me-
Without any hesitation, Long Han led Qin Changqing into the White Dragon Clan’s warehouse.
Qin Changqing searched thoroughly inside and found some materials.
“Long Han, these elixirs are for you. They should be enough to exchange for these materials.”
“Qing, big sister has spoken.”
“Behave, take it!”
Although Qin Changqing didn’t intend to take them for free, Long Han wasn’t planning on accepting anything in exchange. So, Qin Changqing forcefully stuffed them into her hands.
After choosing the materials, Qin Changqing had a lot more to do and left the West Sea.
He went all the way to the Southern Region.
With his current speed, reaching the Southern Region was very quick.
Everything was calm in the Southern Region.
“Husband-
Liu Xiaowan was very happy to see Qin Changqing, as she had just left her closed -door retreat.
“Xiaowan, send some people to keep an eye on the situation in the South Sea recently. If there’s any movement in the sea, notify me earlier.”
Qin Changqing told Liu Xiaowan.
“Alright, husband!”
Liu Xiaowan nodded.
After spending a night with her, Qin Changqing went to the South Sea again.
On the surface of the South Sea, everything appeared to be normal.
However, after reaching the central area of the South Sea and using his divine consciousness to probe the sea, Qin Changqing could occasionally spot sea beasts.
When using divine consciousness within the sea, its effectiveness was heavily influenced by seawater, affecting both its range and speed.
However, with Qin Changqing’s strength, he could still perceive a sizable area.
The people of the Eastern Sea Tribe were nowhere to be found.
With the vastness of the South Sea, not knowing their exact location meant meeting them depended on luck.
After all, the sea tribe spends most of their time within the sea.
Qin Changqing took a look around, went to the East Sea for a while, then arrived at the Eastern Territory.
“The Eastern Sea Tribe is quite arrogant and doesn’t interact much with us.” The Heavenly Luo Sect Master said.
Qin Changqing asked him to pay attention to the movements in the East Sea and exchanged some materials with him before leaving.
Upon returning to the North Region, Qin Changqing put out the collected materials.
“I’m afraid it’s not enough.’
Qin Changqing whispered.
This time, he intended to refine a Dao artifact, which would still be a mirror.
However, the function of this mirror is not just for defense, but also for offense and trapping people.
Both offensive and defensive capabilities must be integrated.
As such, the previous structure of the Qingyun Mirror wouldn’t be able to support it.
Qin Changqing had already enhanced the Qingyun Mirror to the level of a top-grade treasure.
However, the Qingyun Mirror was derived from the Qing Light Mirror of Taichu Sacred Land; if it were not for Qin Changqing, reaching the level of an effective tool would be considered good enough.
Reaching the level of treasure tools would be nearly impossible.
But after reaching the level of treasure tools, due to inherent shortcomings, it became difficult to advance to the level of Dao artifacts.
Therefore, Qin Changqing planned to completely refine a brand-new Dao artifact this time.
“It would be great if I could borrow the Guiyuan Mirror to study.”
Qin Changqing thought.
The Returning Mirror, also known as the Dao Artifact in the hands of the Master of Guiyuan Sect.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Master of Guiyuan Sect used the Returning Mirror to trigger the power of Heaven and Earth to boil the sea, causing the foundation of the North Sea to crumble.
Of course, this was done in sections.
However, the Master of Guiyuan Sect has been in seclusion, so Qin Changqing could not borrow it.
Although he cannot borrow it, within the Guiyuan Sect, there is a note made by a refiner who had refined the Returning Mirror.
That refiner was hired by the Guiyuan Sect at a high price.
This note was useful for Qin Changqing.
So, Qin Changing started drawing the blueprints and prepared to begin the refining process.
First, he refined a part of it. In case there were not enough materials, he would continue refining after finding more materials.
This refining process consumed a lot of Qin Changqing’s time. He drew countless drafts of the blueprints.
The Dao Artifact itself is not very large, but its internal structure is incredibly intricate, like a large city contained within a cubic centimeter.
This small area required Qin Changqing to draw several drafts of blueprints.
It felt like manufacturing a microchip.
At the same time, the difficulty of the Dao Artifact was its connection to “Dao” and the power of Heaven and Earth.
Every strike from a Dao Artifact possessed earth-shaking power.
Only a Dao Artifact could counter another Dao Artifact.
Besides Dao Artifacts, there were also things like Dao Talismans, such as those used by the two Void Refinement cultivators sent by that woman.
There was indeed a Dao Talisman among them.
With the strength of those two Void Refinement cultivators, they could not obtain a Dao Talisman. That Dao Talisman was given to them by that woman to deal with possible interference from the Immortal Gate of the Vast Wave Realm.
Without using a Dao Artifact, it would be impossible to break through within a certain period of time.
They didn’t expect to encounter the Yuan Magnetic Barrier. If it weren’t for that Dao Talisman, the two Void Refinement cultivators would have been directly eliminated by the Yuan Magnetic Barrier.
So, even though Qin Changqing’s Array Formation cultivation was incredibly impressive, since he had never refined a Dao Artifact, it took him over a year to complete the blueprints.
Once the design was complete, he started crafting according to the plan.
Qin Changqing began refining the Dao Artifact.
After more than two years, as expected.
There were not enough materials.
The materials needed for the Dao Artifact were indeed too rare.
During this process, Qin Changqing was not constantly refining; he occasionally went out to accompany his concubines and cultivated with them.
Although Xingran had reached Integration, improving her strength was still beneficial.
It’s just that Qin Changqing’s focus had recently been on the Dao Artifact.
Four years had passed, and Qin Changqing had only completed half of the Dao Artifact.
It was still usable, considered as half a Dao Artifact, which was not too bad.
“It should be sufficient.
Qin Changqing activated it and found it to be acceptable. Under equal strength, its power was much greater than that of a top-grade treasure.
During these four years, everything remained calm.
The Eastern Sea Tribe did not attack the West Sea nor the North Sea again.
Qin Changqing guessed that they needed to digest their occupation of the Southern Sea.
This also indicated, to some extent, that the current strength of the Eastern Sea Tribe was not yet overwhelmingly powerful.
If the South Sea Queen’s guess was true, it meant that they still had no confidence in starting a war with humans.
No matter whether Ruowei’s guess was true or false, the ambitions of the Eastern Sea Tribe were indeed immense.
“Husband, several veteran Second-Rank Devil Sects in the Demon Saint Realm have been acting strangely lately. They might be planning to make a move against you.”
This day, Qin Changqing received a message from Youyue.
Youyue hadn’t sent Qin Changqing any messages for several years, mainly because she was in closed-door cultivation.
The power she received from the Heavenly Demon needed to be absorbed through the Demon Skill.
Several Second-Rank Devil Sects were involved!
And they were veteran ones.
These demon cultivators were truly obsessed with him.
He didn’t know what they found attractive about him.
After receiving Youyue’s message, Qin Changqing informed his family to quietly relocate members of the Qin family in Luo City to Taixuan Peak in batches..
