Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 242 Eight Steeds Climbing the Dragon Carriage +4
[Equipment to be upgraded this time: Eight Steeds Climbing the Dragon Chariot, Upgrade Cost: 1000 Paradise Points, Upgrade Success Rate: 90%, Materials: None]

[Start strengthening? Yes/No]

Inside the enhancement hall, Da Bao placed the Eight Steeds Climbing the Dragon Carriage into the enhancement machine. After the park's prompt appeared, he pressed "Yes" firmly.

[Enhancement in progress, estimated duration: 1 minutes]

As the countdown began to tick, Chu Danqing stared intently at the time, her heart pounding with anxiety.

If this fails, Chu Danqing will have to change his plans.

As the seconds reached zero, Chu Danqing swallowed hard.

[Enhancement successful, Eight Steeds Climbing the Dragon Chariot enhanced by +1]

A notification from the amusement park appeared before his eyes, and a talisman was spat out from the equipment enhancement machine. Chu Danqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“接下来就是继续强化了。”楚丹青说着，将10颗1~3级装备强化石合成为1颗4级装备强化石。

Level 4 Equipment Enhancement Stone

[Type: consumables]

[Quality: None]

[Effect 1: After use, it can increase the enhancement level of equipment that is +3 by 1 level.]

2颗1~3级装备强化石加上1颗4级装备强化石被大宝使用在了八骏攀龙辇上。

[Enhancement successful, Eight Steeds Climbing the Dragon Chariot enhanced by +4]

[Eight Steeds Climbing the Dragon Carriage +4]

[Type: Equipment - Chariot/Amulet]

【Excellent quality】

Durability: 500/500 (increased by 400 points)

【Size Ruyi (Active): Consumes 960 mana (40 less for +4 enhancement) to transform it into a palanquin/amulet form】

[Golden Boy and Jade Girl (Passive): After the Pure Yang Heavenly General and the Taiyin Mystic Maiden kill a target, their summoned creatures will gain increased five-dimensional attributes, health, and mana, up to a maximum of 14% (4% increase with +4 enhancement). Current percentage: 1%]

【Vajra Warriors (Passive): When both Pure Yang Heavenly General and Taiyin Mystic Maiden exist simultaneously, 81 Vajra Warriors will be present to protect/fight for you.

【Dragon Horses Lead the Way (Passive): When the Pure Yang Heavenly General and the Taiyin Mystic Maiden coexist, 8 golden-scaled dragon horses will simultaneously exist to pull your chariot/fight for you.

[Equipment Requirements: Possess 3 or more Summoning Mastery skills, maximum mana of 15000 points, and a Summoning Legacy skill of Excellent grade or higher (LV.MAX)]

"What a pity. I wonder if I can get it to +5 before I retire." Chu Danqing glanced at the success rate; the success rate for +5 enhancement was only 5.6%.

Now, each upgrade costs 4000 Paradise Points. That money is better spent on anything than gambling with a 5.6% success rate.

Unless Chu Danqing can increase the success rate to 100% by adding materials, he will not consider continuing to strengthen it.

"After the Excellent level, mana consumption also becomes a percentage."

This is a good thing. The only pity is that the True Spirit entry that the Taiping Ring could absorb to evolve the Taiping Book has disappeared.

Secondly, the True Spirit attribute that increases the Apostle's health and mana has been changed to increase the summoned creature's five attributes, health, and mana.

"Without Yue Lan Wu Ying, I really don't feel used to it."

"I'll find a shadow-type summoning device next time I have money," Chu Danqing muttered.

Then he returned to his personal room and immediately transformed the Eight Horses Dragon Chariot into a chariot frame.

The main body of the carriage is made of rosewood and decorated with gilding.

The entire vehicle is inlaid with green glass and mica sheets, and various sculptures of exotic animals are perched on the roof, extending all the way to the edge of the canopy.

The wheels are cast in bronze, with spokes shaped like a phoenix spreading its wings and the hub decorated with cloud and sea patterns.

A nine-tasseled canopy was inserted diagonally behind the carriage, and seventy-two beaded curtains hung down.

It's obviously not something an ordinary family could afford.

This sight stirred Chu Danqing's heart.

“I can understand the concept of a golden boy and jade girl, but you two… can you really be considered a celestial general?” Chu Danqing looked at the Pure Yang Heavenly General and the Taiyin Mystic Maiden, who were modeled after the Son of Heaven and the Ghostly Mother. The Pure Yang Heavenly General was clad in heavy armor, carrying a heavy shield and wielding a heavy sword, and was at least 2.5 meters tall.

The sword and shield were taller than Chu Danqing, transforming from celestial spirits into celestial generals.

The Taiyin Xuan Nu is somewhat normal, but her temperament doesn't resemble that of the former Gui Yuan Mu (Ghost Mother).

One is a ghost, the other a celestial maiden.

"The 'golden boy and jade girl' refers to their positions, not their ages," explained the Taiyin Xuannv.

"So, are you still the same people you were before?" Chu Danqing asked tentatively.

“Of course, it’s just that our talents, skills, and equipment have changed. Because of your spirituality and leadership, we are no longer just derivatives of equipment,” Taiyin Xuan Nu replied, then pointed to Chunyang Tian Jiang.

"He is now a Pure Yang Heavenly General, but he still retains the aloofness he had when he was the Son of Heaven, which makes him rarely speak now."

Hearing Taiyin Xuan Nu's reply, Chu Danqing breathed a sigh of relief; this was truly good news.

Then Chu Danqing glanced at the accompanying Vajra Warriors, the leader of whom was a former crossbowman who later became a bow-wielding armored soldier.

Now he has changed the track again, becoming the Vajra Warrior. As for the Chariot Warrior and the Spear Warrior, they have also become Vajra Warriors.

The 49 vengeful infants also became Vajra Warriors, which gave the Vajra Warriors the characteristic that the vengeful infants once had: the more of them there were, the stronger they became.

The eight dragon horses pulling the chariot possess some of the bloodline of true dragons, which is why they can ride the clouds and mist.

This means that the Eight Horses Dragon Chariot will no longer be limited by terrain like the war chariots of the past.

They are professionals at pulling carriages; once they take flight, they can even lift the entire carriage frame.

It's not only faster, but also more convenient.

From now on, whether in the mountains or on the river, there will be no need to worry about anything.

It can only be said that the Divine King is indeed knowledgeable and experienced, and gave Chu Danqing the most suitable direction for synthesis.

"Because I lost the 5000 mana points that the Peace Ring and the Nine-Child Demon Mother Diagram gave me, I now only have 16420 mana points."

“也就是说一小时需要1576点法力值，再扣掉统御的20点和道基减免10%的157和脱战激活指挥跟随减免10%的157点。”

"My maintenance cost is 1242 per hour, which is an average of 20 points per minute?!" Chu Danqing did the calculation, and his face was quite interesting.

If you only look at the percentage, it does seem scary, but when you convert it to a whole number, it's not much at all.

"Then, with the 1 point cost of commanding and following, and the 93 point cost of array defense, I only need 123 points of mana expenditure per minute to maintain all mana expenditure."

Chu Danqing did another calculation: the array's support defense would cost 94 points per person, but since Da Bai was in Chu Danqing's mind, he couldn't give it a shield.

If this were to be turned on, it would be enough to make Chu Danqing's brain explode.

However, Big White doesn't need it, since Chu Danqing is protecting it.

Once the array's defensive capabilities were activated, Chu Danqing's shield value was immediately divided into 93 parts and began to be transmitted.

In an instant, Chu Danqing's shield was completely destroyed.

The phantom of Baxia appeared and began to regenerate a shield every second at a rate of 1% of Chu Danqing's maximum health.

The five elemental spirits also joined in, and both sides resumed their respective states.

However, because Chu Danqing kept the array in active defense, the attacks would be diverted as soon as they were restored.

The attack will only stop when all the summoned creatures' shields reach 30% of Chu Danqing's total shield value, or when Chu Danqing disables the array's auxiliary defense.

But he doesn't intend to shut it down; instead, he intends to keep it firmly in his own hands.

“A good piece of equipment can indeed bring about a qualitative change in strength,” Chu Danqing said, his gaze falling on the Nine Cauldrons Diagram.

As a piece of superior equipment, it doesn't feel strong in a direct way, but it does provide a real boost.

The Flowing Clouds Chasing the Moon Robe boasts a fixed numerical advantage, while the Eight Steeds Climbing the Dragon Carriage offers a percentage-based advantage.

The charm and luck of the Nine Tripods Diagram are enhanced indirectly, like a gentle rain nourishing the earth.

Of course, the array's strong defensive capabilities are also thanks to the Baxia Dragon Son of the Nine Cauldrons Diagram; otherwise, Chu Danqing would definitely not be able to support 93 summoned creatures in terms of maximum capacity, strength, or recovery.

"Then, the same old rules apply. You will disguise yourselves as our trump cards." Chu Danqing said, transforming the Eight Steeds Climbing the Dragon Chariot into a protective amulet and equipping it.

The Pure Yang Heavenly General and the Taiyin Mystic Maiden, along with the Dragon Horse and the Vajra Warrior, entered the talisman.

They will come out immediately if there is any need.

Since they are present and exist simultaneously, this means that as long as they are equipped, they will not disappear unless Chu Danqing dies or cannot provide enough mana, in which case they will disappear and wait for a second summoning.

The reason it didn't exist before was because Chu Danqing hadn't equipped it yet. Without equipment, it wasn't activated, so it couldn't exist.

The amulet can contain them, essentially carrying a military camp with you, but it can only house the Golden Boy and Jade Girl, the Warrior and the Dragon Horse.

Children like Da Bao and Da Gu are not allowed to go in.
