There are quite a few talismans in Ye Li’s Dantian now. Although they are all high-quality things, the only one Ye Li can use here is the Juyue Seal.
Seeing that he had a lot of talismans in his hands but couldn't use them properly, Ye Li felt a little unhappy.
After putting away his things, Ye Li quickly left the foundry and returned to his residence in the harem.
Now he already has a new talisman in hand, and all he lacks is a spiritual weapon and a set of spiritual armor.
However, Ye Li estimated that he would not be able to produce good spiritual weapons and armor in a short period of time. After all, he was short of money and had spent most of the spiritual stones he had accumulated before.
He had never cast spiritual weapons or armor before. Although Ye Li was already a top-level weaponsmith, he was confident that he could figure out the casting method by studying the spiritual weapons and armor here, but it was obviously impossible to achieve success overnight.
He also had to buy a lot of materials and conduct several experiments. In other words, if he wanted to successfully forge spiritual weapons and armor suitable for his own use, he would have to spend at least several thousand high-quality spirit stones.
Judging from Ye Li’s current situation, he does not have the money for the time being. He can only wait until he returns from Tianyue Country before starting his own research.
With no other choice, Ye Li could only continue to focus on comprehending the power of the laws for the next month.
Among the laws of the metal element, there is a part about toughness and sharpness. Ye Li really wants to comprehend the power of this part of the law first, and then he can apply it to his secret method of gold casting.
The armor condensed from the gold element spiritual energy on his body will become tougher, and when he swings his arms, the slashes he makes will become extremely sharp.
After comprehending this series of laws, Ye Li planned to study the power of the laws that connected the metal element and the water element, so that he could transition from the metal element law to the water element law as quickly as possible.
After Ye Li comprehended the transition from the Earth Principle to the Metal Principle, he discovered that when the five elements flowed in his body, the Earth and Metal parts became unusually smooth.
He estimated that if he could thoroughly comprehend the laws of the bridge between the five elements, then the power of the five elements in his body would become extremely powerful.
It is still difficult for him to fight directly with the power of the five elements now, but if the amount of the power of the five elements can be multiplied several times, he can fully utilize the power of the five elements in battle when using the Five Elements Body Forging Secret Technique to further enhance his combat power.
In the next few days, Ye Li stayed in the house to comprehend the laws and rarely went out. Li Rushan was also busy preparing for his diplomatic mission to Tianyue Kingdom next month and had no time to create a clone, so he did not come to see Ye Li.
Just when Ye Li had been staying in the house leisurely for half a month and had basically understood several laws related to tenacity, a guard from the palace came to the yard and found Ye Li.
At first, Ye Li thought that the other party was Li Rushan's man and that Li Rushan was looking for him. However, after hearing the other party's purpose, he realized that the other party was not Li Rushan's man, but was sent by the current emperor Li Tianyuan.
The other party came to him in order to invite him to meet the emperor in the palace.
Ye Li was a little surprised when he first received the news. He knew that it was common for Li Tianyuan to meet with his ministers alone, but it was rare for him to meet with the prince's retainers alone.
However, he had no choice but to go since the emperor had summoned him, so he had to tidy up his clothes immediately and follow the other party to the palace to meet the emperor.
After a while, Ye Li followed the guards to the palace hall.
Because the person who brought him here was the guard in the hall, no one questioned him. Ye Li followed the guard directly into the hall.
Li Tianyuan was still sitting on the high platform in the main hall, looking down at Ye Li, exuding the aura of an emperor.
However, after learning about Li Tianyuan's behavior, Ye Li despised the emperor from the bottom of his heart and could not muster the slightest respect for him.
However, he could not show it too obviously, so he could only walk to the front of the platform, kneel on one knee and bow his head and say: "Your Majesty, your servant Ye Li, greets you."
Normally, most people would add something like "Long live the emperor" at the end, but Ye Li had no intention of flattering.
Li Tianyuan didn't care about this, but looked at Ye Li with a smile on his face, showing a very easy-going expression and said: "Ye Li, please stand up. There is no outsider here, you don't have to be too restrained."
After Ye Li thanked Li Tianyuan according to etiquette, he stood up and casually glanced at Tiankui Fu Sheng in the corner next to the platform.
Tiankui Fu Sheng was also looking at him at this moment. When their eyes met, Tiankui Fu Sheng smiled at him unexpectedly.
"Ye Li, do you know why I summoned you here today?"
Li Tianyuan asked with a smile.
Ye Li shook his head honestly and said, "I don't know?"
Li Tianyuan said: "I listened to Shan'er's story about what happened along the way when he went to the Water Soul Seal Land. He said that you risked your life to save him many times, which saved his life.
He is my son, and you have saved him many times. As a father, I should see you no matter what.
Although you are his retainer and have the duty to protect him, we cannot force you to do your best.
You did your best to protect him, which is very good and I am very satisfied."
Hearing Li Tianyuan's words, Ye Li hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. Protecting Your Highness is my duty and obligation. I dare not neglect it."
Li Tianyuan smiled upon hearing this and said, "Well, Shan'er is lucky this time to have a retainer like you."
Ye Li could tell that Li Tianyuan's words just now were just a casual remark to fill in the gaps. He should have something else to say, but he couldn't guess what Li Tianyuan wanted to say.
Otherwise, after Li Tianyuan finished praising Ye Li, he said, "Ye Li, I want to ask you something. As Shan'er's retainer, have you seen any unusual behavior from Shan'er recently?"
Ye Li was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Your Majesty, what is the unusual behavior?"
Li Tianyuan said: "It's just some things that are different from usual. For example, is there any change in the attitude towards Hai'er?"
Ye Li didn't know what Li Tianyuan meant, but he still answered honestly: "I didn't find anything unusual. The relationship between the Second Prince and the First Prince is still..."
Ye Li originally wanted to say that they were as hostile as fire and water, but then he changed his mind and thought that saying that his two sons were as hostile as fire and water in front of their father would be tantamount to admitting that both of them wanted to fight for the throne, so he was speechless for a moment and didn't know what words to use.
Li Tianyuan seemed to be indifferent and said, "Ye Li, you don't have to hide anything. You are different from my ministers. They are all scoundrels in the officialdom and speak in an official tone.
You are a practitioner, without those official habits, you can say whatever you want to say.
My two sons are indeed fighting for my throne. In fact, every emperor’s sons have fought for power. This is a common situation in the royal family.”
