Chapter 272

When Li Chen took out a dagger that looked very much like bone in material, the long sword in He Lan Xuan's hand suddenly wailed.

Everyone clearly saw the deep blue halo lingering on the tip of the dagger; that was clearly the "Deep Sea Spiritual Rhyme" that only top Sage Realm Sea Clan members could cultivate!

What was even more terrifying was that wherever the dagger passed, all seawater would actively avoid it; that was a cutting power that even ten-thousand-year mysterious iron could not achieve!

Li Chen's three treasures were too shocking, and True Person Qingxu and the other three were all guessing what the materials Li Chen used to make these treasures were.

True Person Qingxu guessed that the material Li Chen used to draw the talismans should be ten-thousand-year dragon gall; only dragon gall would appear with such terrifying water-avoiding ability.

Master Wanfeng recalled the elixir he had just eaten, and he felt that it should be dragon blood and dragon heart as the medicine primer to have the feeling of being one with the sea, and it had to be obtained from a sea dragon.

After the two of them analyzed it like this, He Lan Xuan could guess it without using his brain.

"Your Majesty's bone dagger should also be made of dragon bone, and it is the extremely rare deep-sea ink dragon, manufactured through three hundred processes; I wonder if my humble minister's guess is correct?"

He Lan Xuan called himself a humble minister because he was indeed Li Chen's minister, considered a general under his command.

And he said it very confidently, because only the royal family could possess these rare materials that were seldom seen in the world, and only the royal family had such a big hand.

The other two also felt that their judgment was correct and were just waiting for Li Chen to nod.

But after Li Chen finished listening, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he began to explain plainly.

"The material for writing the water-avoiding talisman is shell powder mixed with the fish soup left over from last night."

"The main ingredient of the elixir is kelp; I wasn't used to eating it, so I added some lotus root starch to adjust the flavor."

"The fish bone was taken from the yellow croaker thrown away by the kitchen this morning; I refined it in a casserole for half an hour."

True Person Qingxu: "."

Master Wanfeng: "."

He Lan Xuan: "."

The three of them stood stupidly on the spot; who would have thought that such powerful props actually used such common materials?

So we three analyzed for a long time, only to analyze a loneliness.

Thinking that the props Li Chen made with these materials had better effects than the precious materials they used.

These three were even more unable to imagine; isn't it that the rarer the material, the better the effect?

Seemingly seeing the doubts of the three, Li Chen began to explain.

"Look at this shell."

Li Chen casually took the shell placed on the table, and a deep blue flame ignited at his fingertips.

The shell not only didn't char in the fire, but instead precipitated silver sand that lit up like stars.

Then Li Chen continued: "The essence of both the shell and the so-called thousand-year mirage pearl is calcium carbonate; it's just that the thousand-year mirage pearl is wrapped in a few more layers of spiritual energy, making it rarer."

True Person Qingxu was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, what is calcium carbonate?"

Li Chen coughed dryly and explained: "It means the composition is the same; since the thousand-year mirage pearl just has an extra layer of spiritual energy, have you never thought about whether you can make a layer of spiritual energy on the shell yourselves?"

Li Chen's words made the three Sage Realms start to ponder, feeling that it seemed to make sense.

Regardless of talisman making, alchemy, or artifact refining, isn't the original intention to turn decay into magic?

The sages who first studied these also used the most basic materials.

Later cultivators improved them and felt that high-quality materials were better.

But the problem is that high-quality materials are rare, so being able to find so-called "substitutes" is very important.

High-level cultivators often pursue excellence and ignore the essence.

"Let's talk about kelp."

Li Chen took out another black elixir, and water mist rose from his palm to decompose it.

Countless ink-green silk threads stretched out in the mist, and at the end of each silk thread was connected to a miniature vortex.

"Kelp from ten thousand zhang under the deep sea has the direction of undercurrents carved on every leaf; isn't this the effect we want when diving into the deep sea?" "As for the fish bone sword, I don't need to explain, right? The value of all things in the world is given by people; there is nothing without value, it just depends on whether you know how to use it."

After listening to these words, the three Sage Realms bowed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty's holy words, we will keep them in mind."

Li Chen waved his hand and said: "I'm just taking a shortcut."

True Person Qingxu immediately followed: "Not so, Your Majesty, this is called the Great Dao is simple."

Li Chen nodded; you are still the one who can talk, I love to hear it!

In fact, what True Person Qingxu said was also right; other cultivators set up formations using all kinds of rare treasures, while Li Chen used stones.

You can say he is simple in the Great Dao, or you can say he is lazy, but he can indeed turn decay into magic.

Talking to here, Li Chen took out three lists, which were the production methods of the water-avoiding talisman, the Returning Sea Pill, and the fish bone dagger.

True Person Qingxu and the three received the lists, their hearts incomparably shocked.

"Your Majesty, are you giving this to us?"

How could the three of them not know the importance of these three lists?

!

With these three lists, one could use simple materials to make efficient props, greatly increasing the ability of cultivators to fight in the deep sea.

If this were to spread to their sects and forces, it would definitely acquire endless wealth.

"I am letting you pass these lists down for the cultivators here to learn and improve."

According to Li Chen, his original intention for making these things was actually to let everyone be able to use them.

If the water-avoiding talisman, Returning Sea Pill, and these things were made of materials like thousand-year mirage pearls or flood dragon bone powder, ordinary cultivators might not be able to use them in their lifetime, so how could they improve their strength?

And these common props could be obtained by ordinary cultivators, which could reduce their cultivation costs.

This is also why Li Chen is willing to spend the national treasury's money to build rail trains; this thing can serve the public.

Only what the public needs is good.

If it were just to serve a few people, Li Chen felt there was no need to waste money and manpower.

Technology serves people; only when people need it is it called technology.

Hearing Li Chen's explanation, the three Sage Realms were once again full of admiration; no wonder he could be the Emperor, no wonder the court was peaceful and stable—this is the Emperor's pattern.

Only an Emperor who can truly consider the public can be supported by the public.

Even the three Sage Realms felt that Li Chen was impeccable, not to mention the ordinary public.

What is a holy monarch and wise master? The three Sage Realms had heard of it long ago, but they felt more and more that this was not propaganda at all, but the ability Li Chen possessed, that kind of innate talent.

Li Chen is just a bit lazy, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to be an Emperor.

At the beginning, he definitely didn't know, but after being one for so long, he still had experience.

Li Chen's approach has always been to let the people of the world feel that this world belongs to everyone, not just the Li family, so everyone performs their duties, and the May Tian Ce Dynasty can be prosperous.

Li Chen passing these three lists out, coupled with the "Water-Avoiding Technique" he improved himself, is definitely a disaster for the Sea Clan.

Because the subsequent battles might expand directly from land to the ocean.

The Sea Clan probably didn't expect that they just wanted to invade the May Tian Ce Dynasty, and after losing, they would be the same as before, as long as they hid back in the sea, the May Tian Ce Dynasty would have no way.

As a result, now, even if they hide inside, they will be farmed as resources by the May Tian Ce Dynasty's cultivators.

With the increase in cultivation resources, there will be more and more cultivators, and Li Chen cannot estimate what scale it will reach in the future.
