Martial Academy:
Chu Qing was in quite a good mood.
Because:
The Liuli River had truly been refined into a strange treasure by him.
No, it had only just been made into the embryo of a strange treasure.
To truly refine the Liuli River into a strange treasure would still require slow, painstaking work.
Perhaps ten years or eight years, perhaps several centuries.
But it did not matter.
Now:
The Liuli River embryo alone had already caused his strength to surge by a huge margin.
Moreover:
Now, even if he did nothing at all, his strength would continue to increase.
This long-awaited increase in strength put him in high spirits.
The only thing that dissatisfied him was:

It vexed Chu Qing.
"Don't let me find your headquarters!"
"Once I find your headquarters, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Zuo Yan: "Hm?"
