Chapter 272: Analyzing for a long time, analyzing loneliness? (Please subscribe, please vote)

When Li Chen took out a dagger that looked like it was made of bone, the sword in Helan Xuan's hand suddenly wailed.

Everyone clearly saw the faint blue halo lingering around the tip of the dagger. That was clearly the "Deep Sea Spiritual Charm" that only the top saints of the sea clan could cultivate!
What's even more terrifying is that wherever the dagger passes, all the sea water will actively avoid it. It is a powerful cutting force that even ten thousand year old black iron cannot achieve!
Li Chen's three treasures were too shocking. Master Qingxu and the other three were all guessing what materials Li Chen used to make these treasures.

Master Qingxu guessed that the material Li Chen used to draw the talisman should be ten thousand year old dragon gall, and only dragon gall could have such a terrifying ability to avoid water.

Master Wanfeng was thinking about the pill he had just taken. He felt that it should be dragon blood and dragon heart as the medicine to give him the feeling of being one with the sea, and it had to be obtained from a sea dragon.

After their analysis, Helan Xuan could guess it without even using his brain.

"Your Majesty, this bone dagger should also be made of dragon bones, and it is an extremely rare deep-sea black dragon. It has been made through three hundred processes. I wonder if my guess is correct?"

Helan Xuan said that he was a humble minister because he was indeed a subject of Li Chen and was considered a general under his command.

And he said it very confidently, because only the royal family could possess these rare materials rarely seen in the world, and only the royal family could afford to do so.

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

But after listening to it, Li Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and then he began to explain calmly.

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

"The main ingredient of the elixir is kelp. I'm not used to it, so I added some lotus root powder to adjust the taste."

"The fish bones were taken from the yellow croaker thrown away by the kitchen this morning. I cooked it in a clay pot for half an hour."

Master Qingxu: “.”

Evening Breeze Master: “.”

Helan Xuan: “.”

The three of them stood there stupidly. No one would have thought that such a powerful item was made of materials that can be found everywhere.
The three of us analyzed the relationship for a long time and came up with loneliness.

The thought that the props made by Li Chen using these materials would be better than those made from the precious materials they used.

These three people couldn't even imagine it. Isn't it true that the rarer the material, the better the effect?
As if seeing the confusion of the three people, Li Chen began to explain.

"Look at this shell."

Li Chen casually picked up the shell on the table, and a blue flame ignited on his fingertips.

Instead of turning into black, the shells gave off silver sand that lit up like stars.

Then Li Chen continued: "The shells and the so-called thousand-year-old mirage pearls are essentially calcium carbonate, but the thousand-year-old mirage pearls are wrapped in several layers of spiritual energy, making them more rare."

Master Qingxu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Your Majesty, what is calcium carbonate?"

Li Chen coughed dryly and explained, "It means the ingredients are the same. Since the Millennium Mirage Pearl only has an extra layer of spiritual energy patina, have you ever thought about whether you can make a layer of spiritual energy patina on the shell yourself?"

Li Chen's words made the three saints begin to ponder, and they felt that it seemed to make sense.

No matter the original intention of making talismans, refining elixirs, or refining tools, isn't it all to turn decay into magic?

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

After improvements, later monks felt that high-quality materials were better.

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

Practitioners of high levels often pursue perfection and ignore the essence.

"Let's talk about kelp."

Li Chenchao continued to take out a black pill, and water mist rose from his palm to decompose it.

Countless dark green threads stretched out in the mist, each thread was connected to a miniature vortex at the end.

"Each leaf of the kelp in the deep sea is engraved with the direction of the undercurrent. Isn't this the effect we want when we dive into the deep sea?" "As for the fishbone sword, I don't need to explain it. Isn't the value of everything in the world given by humans? There is no such thing as worthless. It just depends on whether you know how to use it."

After hearing these words, the three saints bowed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, we will remember your words."

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "I'm just taking advantage of it."

Master Qingxu immediately replied, "No, Your Majesty, this is called the great way of simplicity."

Li Chen nodded and said, "You are good at talking. I love listening!"
In fact, what Master Qingxu said was right. Other practitioners used rare treasures to set up formations, but Li Chen used stones.

You could say he is simple in his approach, or you could say he is lazy, but he is indeed able to turn decay into magic.

Having talked about this, Li Chen took out three lists, which were the methods of making the water-repellent talisman, the Guihai Pill, and the fishbone dagger.

Master Qingxu and the other two took the list and were extremely shocked.

"Your Majesty, are you going to give it to us?"

The three of them knew the importance of these three lists.

With these three lists, it is possible to use simple materials to create highly effective props, greatly increasing the ability of practitioners to fight in the deep sea.

If this were to spread to their sects and forces, they would surely gain countless wealth.

"I want you to pass this list down so that the practitioners here can study and improve it."

According to Li Chen, his original intention in making these things was to make them useful to everyone.

As for the Water-Repellent Talisman and Return to the Sea Pill, the materials are Millennium Mirage Pearl and Flood Dragon Bone Powder. Ordinary practitioners may not be able to use them in their lifetime, so how can they improve their strength?

These props that can be found everywhere can be obtained by ordinary practitioners, which can reduce their practice costs.

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

Only what the public needs is good.

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

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

After hearing Li Chen's explanation, the three saints were once again impressed. No wonder he could become the emperor and no wonder the court was peaceful and stable. This was the emperor's pattern.

Only an emperor who can truly consider the masses can be supported by the masses.

Even the three saints felt that Li Chen was impeccable, let alone the ordinary people.

The three saints had heard of what a holy monarch and wise leader meant, but they felt more and more that this was not just propaganda, but an ability that Li Chen possessed, an innate talent.

Li Chen is just a little lazy, but that doesn't mean he won't be emperor.

I definitely wouldn’t be able to do it at the beginning, but after being in this position for so long, I do have some experience.

Li Chen's approach has always been to make people in the world feel that the world belongs to everyone, not just the Li family. Then if everyone performs their duties, the Tiance Dynasty will be able to prosper.

If Li Chen's three lists were spread out, together with his own improved "Water Avoidance Art", it would definitely be a disaster for the sea people.

Because the next battle may expand directly from land to ocean.

The sea clan probably didn't expect that they just wanted to invade the Tiance Dynasty. After losing, they would just hide back in the sea as before, and the Tiance Dynasty would have no way to stop them.

As a result, now, even if they hide in there, they will be treated as resources by the practitioners of the Tiance Dynasty.

As the resources for cultivation increase, there will be more and more practitioners. Li Chen has a hard time predicting what scale it will reach in the future.
