Blessing Artifacts and Calamity Artifacts, Omnipotent Luck

After conducting a series of tests.

Li Chang'an discovered that among the miscellaneous items, jade had the best storage capacity, followed by crystals and gemstones, then gold, silver, copper, iron, plants, and so on. As for everything else, it wasn't that they had no effect—it was just extremely poor.

Additionally, every item had an upper limit to how much energy it could store.

So far, he had found that jade offered the best storage effect, and the purer and more precious the jade, the better it was at storing Blessing and Calamity Power!

Crystals and gemstones came next. Their storage capacity was slightly inferior to jade's, but their prices were no less expensive.

With that comparison, Li Chang'an naturally chose the most cost-effective jade as the vessel for Blessing and Calamity Power.

Top-grade jade was not only rare, but was also basically monopolized by the greatest aristocratic families. Ordinary people had no way to obtain it even if they had money. Fortunately, as a Marquis, Li Chang'an also counted among the great nobility.

Before long, he acquired a Top-Grade Jadeite Rough Stone through his connections.

The uncarved Jadeite Jade was only the size of a fist, yet this tiny thing alone had cost him tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins.

Still, it was expensive for good reason.

They said jade could nourish people. Li Chang'an did not know whether jade from the real world could do so, but the "jade" of Douluo World truly could nurture the body. This was why it had always been beloved by the nobility. Made into jade pendants or other accessories and worn on the body, it not only displayed elegance but also constantly nourished the wearer. Naturally, its price remained high.

Li Chang'an first cut the top-grade jadeite rough stone into two halves. Then, holding the shrunken Azure Scale Sword, he began cutting and carving one of the halves. The process was as easy as slicing tofu.

In the end, he carved four jade pendants.

All four pendants were shaped like comma-shaped jade, forming Yin-Yang Fish designs. Every two pendants could be joined together into a complete Taiji Yin-Yang Fish pattern.

Once the carving was complete.

Li Chang'an first picked up two jade pendants, holding half a comma-shaped jade in each hand. He then focused, and his pitch-black eyes transformed into the Auspicious Pupil and Ominous Pupil. He stared intently at the two jade pendants in his palms, each emitting red and blue light that only he could see.

His left eye was a festive fiery red.

His right eye was a gloomy watery blue.

Fiery red Blessing Power and watery blue Calamity Power continuously poured into the jade pendants.

Under the influence of these two powers.

The colors of the two jade pendants in his hands began to change as well.

From their originally clear jadeite green, they gradually shifted toward red and blue. In the end, they completely transformed into a piece of Red Jade and a piece of Blue Jade.

After the Blessing and Calamity Power stored in the Auspicious Ominous Eyes had been exhausted.

Li Chang'an weighed the jade pendants in his hands and silently sensed their capacity. He found that each jade pendant could store roughly one million points of Blessing and Calamity Power.

Moreover, he could draw out and use the Blessing and Calamity Power stored within at any time. It would not suffer even the slightest loss or depletion as time passed.

However, if someone else carried them on their person, the Blessing and Calamity Power within the jade pendants would naturally seep into the wearer bit by bit, enhancing either their luck or their misfortune.

Li Chang'an realized that he seemed to have created something incredible.

Wasn't this essentially a kind of luck artifact?

Anyone who obtained one could strengthen their own fortune.

If he wanted to give gifts in the future, he could give "Blessing Artifacts" containing Blessing Power.

And if he wanted to scheme against someone, he could give "Calamity Artifacts" containing Calamity Power.

His opponent would not even know how they died.

"The issue of storing Blessing and Calamity Power is solved."

Li Chang'an tied the two jade pendants together, forming the shape of a Taiji Yin-Yang Fish, then hung it from his waist. Paired with his tailored nobleman's attire, his white robes and black hair gave him an air of refinement and dignity.

It had to be said that when it came to looks, he was quite exceptional! He was absolutely no worse than Tang San, who had been Reborn after awakening the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline. In fact, after awakening the Nine Infants Bloodline, he even surpassed him in temperament.

"Next, I'll see how long it takes for the Blessing and Calamity Power to recover after being used up."

If it took a long time to recover after every expenditure, then during the early stages, when his strength was still low, the amount of Blessing and Calamity Power he could accumulate would be pitifully small.

Fortunately, things were not as bad as he had imagined.

Li Chang'an discovered that after only one day, the Blessing and Calamity Power in his Auspicious Ominous Eyes had fully recovered.

At a rate of 200 points of Blessing and Calamity Power per day, he could accumulate 2,000 points in ten days, 20,000 points in one hundred days, and 200,000 points in one thousand days.

And that was only the theoretical figure. In reality, it would definitely be even more!

Because his strength would not remain unchanged during that time. As his strength increased, the capacity for Blessing and Calamity Power within the Auspicious Ominous Eyes would continue to rise. Eventually, the amount of Blessing and Calamity Power he could accumulate would reach a truly terrifying level!

"Looks like I need to prepare more jade in advance to serve as containers for Blessing and Calamity Power." Li Chang'an put away the two blank comma-shaped jade pendants and thought to himself.

Although it would take a long time to fill these two jade pendants, each with a capacity limit of one million points, it was always better to be prepared with more containers in advance.

Besides, he had a feeling that this stored Blessing and Calamity Power would definitely be of great use in the future!

Whether used to improve his own luck or to plot against enemies, it would play a decisive role!

Just imagine it.

If he were locked in an even battle with an evenly matched enemy, he could silently draw upon the massive amount of Calamity Power accumulated in the jade pendant and directly forcefully reduce the opponent's luck, leaving them plagued by misfortune.

Then he could use Blessing Power to enhance his own luck in turn, sending his fortune soaring!

As one waned and the other grew.

So was there any suspense left in this match?

Sometimes, at a critical moment, a little luck was the final straw that broke the camel's back.

And it was worth mentioning that luck, in some respects, could be considered an all-purpose power!

It was not merely capable of helping someone avert disaster and turn misfortune into fortune. It also had tremendous uses in other areas.

For example, if he wanted to create a cultivation technique but had no clue where to begin and simply could not create it, he could consume Blessing Power to enhance his luck. That might flood him with inspiration, or grant him some kind of insight, until through a series of fortunate coincidences, he "luckily" created the technique.

Or perhaps he wanted to learn a certain skill or divine ability, but simply could not master it. What then?

Simple. He could still use Blessing Power to boost his luck.

It would be as though he had suddenly seen the light, instantly attaining enlightenment! He would "luckily" learn a skill or divine ability that he had originally been utterly incapable of learning.

All of this was inextricably tied to luck.

Of course.

Blessing Power did not create something from nothing. It enhanced one's luck, allowing one to "luckily" achieve the desired objective within reasonable limits. Therefore, the harder something was to accomplish for the person involved, the more enormous the amount of Blessing Power it would consume!

Everything followed the principle of equivalent exchange. To gain as much as you wanted, you had to give just as much.
