Chapter 418 A Major Taboo for Subjects: Alchemy
Xianyang.
Chang Yuchun returned here as quickly as possible.
Without any hesitation, he went straight to Ying Chen.
In the imperial study room.
Ying Chen looked at the rhombus-shaped crystal in his hand, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.
According to Chang Yuchun, this rhombus-shaped crystal appeared after he killed the Crimson Wrigg Clan member who was in the Tribulation Transcending stage, which also shows that the rhombus-shaped crystal and the Crimson Wrigg Clan member are closely related.
Feeling the abundant divine power within the rhombus-shaped crystal, Ying Chen's gaze darkened slightly.
Perhaps this thing is the key to the Red Worm Clan's powerful divine sense.
"Go and summon Yuan Tiangang..."
Ying Chen said to Cao Zhengchun beside him.
If we were to ask who in the entire Qin Dynasty understood these strange and unusual things best, it would undoubtedly be Yuan Tiangang.
It can be said that every industry in the entire Qin Dynasty was inseparable from Yuan Tiangang.
He was responsible for managing the Imperial Observatory, the Array Formation Academy, and occasionally, he also had to play the role of a weapon refiner.
It can be said that Yuan Tiangang was the busiest person in the entire Qin Dynasty.
Go wherever you are needed.
"Here!"
Upon receiving Ying Chen's order, Cao Zhengchun immediately went to summon Yuan Tiangang.
"Your Majesty...you see, if this thing is truly precious, wouldn't that mean I've rendered a great service...?"
Chang Yuchun stood below, looking at Ying Chen with a fawning expression, and said with a smile.
Hearing Chang Yuchun's words, Ying Chen smiled slightly and said, "If this item is truly valuable, you will naturally have made a great contribution. Use this time to think carefully about what reward you desire..."
Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, Chang Yuchun was overjoyed. Although he didn't know what the rhomboid crystal was, he could naturally tell from his Tribulation Transcending stage eyesight that it was extraordinary.
"Your Majesty, the reward I desire is not difficult; all I need is to be the commander-in-chief of the army that will conquer the seas..."
Chang Yuchun said with a fawning smile.
Ying Chen was taken aback by Chang Yuchun's words, then looked at Chang Yuchun with amusement and said, "What's wrong? Did you and Zhijie have a falling out?"
"No, but ever since he became the commander-in-chief, he's been showing off in front of me, and I really can't stand it anymore..."
Chang Yuchun shook his head and said.
Upon hearing Chang Yuchun's explanation, Ying Chen couldn't help but chuckle.
He had always known that Cheng Yaojin and Chang Yuchun often bickered, and that the reason they were brought together was to help them get along.
But it seems that the two of them are still the same as before!
"Hmm! I will consider this matter carefully, but you should also know that changing generals on the eve of battle is no small matter. If we set this precedent, there will be endless troubles in the future. Are you sure you still want to compete with Cheng Yaojin for the position of commander-in-chief?"
Ying Chen looked at Chang Yuchun and said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, Chang Yuchun fell silent. Indeed, he had been somewhat reckless, focusing only on overwhelming Cheng Yaojin and neglecting such an important matter.
After a moment, he raised his head and said, "Then let Cheng Yaojin continue to serve as the commander! This humble general will condescend to serve under him for a while longer!"
"However, Your Majesty, you must promise me that if there are any more battles in the future, I will be the commander-in-chief, and Cheng Yaojin will be the deputy commander..."
Chang Yuchun compromised, but not completely.
"Whether that thing is good or bad hasn't even been determined yet! And you're already making demands of me?"
Ying Chen looked at Chang Yuchun with a half-smile and spoke.
Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, Chang Yuchun was immediately startled and knelt down, saying in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, this humble general misspoke..."
"Rise! I forgive you for your crime!"
Ying Chen waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, Emperor!"
Chang Yuchun stood up with trepidation and bowed his head, standing to the side.
He just committed a grave offense as a subject, daring to make a request of the emperor.
If it had been a narrow-minded emperor, he would probably have been beheaded by now. Fortunately, Ying Chen was magnanimous, which saved his life.
This made Chang Yuchun somewhat regretful; he hadn't expected that his attempt to flatter had backfired.
Would the Emperor distance himself from him because of this?
Just as Chang Yuchun was filled with immense fear, Cao Zhengchun brought Yuan Tiangang back to the Imperial Study.
"Minister Yuan, come and see what this rhomboid crystal is and what its effects are..."
Ying Chen handed the rhombus-shaped crystal in his hand to Yuan Tiangang and said.
Yuan Tiangang took the rhombus-shaped crystal and examined it carefully.
After carefully observing it for a while, Yuan Tiangang returned the rhombus-shaped crystal to Ying Chen, saying, "Your Majesty, this crystal contains an exceptionally dense concentration of divine consciousness. Based on my observation, this should be an item used by a being with powerful divine consciousness to store its divine consciousness..."
"With this, that being can store excess divine power as a reserve, and use it in a crisis to unleash power far exceeding its own divine sense..."
After Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, Ying Chen's face showed a hint of surprise. He didn't expect that Yuan Tiangang would actually know the function of this thing after only observing it for a while.
"Then what use is this thing to us?"
Although Yuan Tiangang explained the origin and function of the crystal, he did not say what they intended to do with it.
"Your Majesty, I can use the crystals, along with some spiritual herbs that can enhance divine sense, to refine elixirs..."
"The refined pills can greatly enhance the user's spiritual power, and have no side effects..."
Yuan Tiangang clasped his hands in greeting.
Upon hearing this, Ying Chen's eyes lit up.
Murong Yishuang is about to give birth. If this crystal is used to refine pills, they can be given to her child after birth to lay a good foundation for the child's health.
Ying Chen shared his thoughts with Yuan Tiangang and asked him about the feasibility of the matter.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will mitigate the potency of the elixir during its refining process, making it suitable for an infant to consume. It will absolutely not harm the future imperial heir of my Great Qin..."
Yuan Tiangang said respectfully.
