Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 251 Orchid Blood Dew

"Another ascetic? It seems this ascetic is the master of that guy before." Chu Danqing looked at the old ascetic who had been torn to pieces by Da Bao.

He thought he had stirred up trouble with the monk.

As for the person who killed the Three-Eyed Yaksha, it was certainly not the Pure Yang Heavenly General, but the Vajra Warrior.

Chu Danqing discovered that after his experience and attributes improved, he seemed to gradually no longer need detection equipment.

He was able to roughly estimate the other party's attributes and certain abilities.

This was also thanks to Chu Danqing's proficient skills, which provided him with a wealth of knowledge.

If one continues to grow, one might be able to discern the true strength and weaknesses of the enemy simply by relying on one's own perspective.

The premise is that they cannot be better than oneself.

This strength does not refer to combat power, but rather to the amount of knowledge reserves.

Therefore, he suspected that at Tier 2, the price of detection equipment would drop significantly if the apostles were not specializing in detection.

The premise for the high price of detection equipment is that non-detection apostles can also use it; otherwise, why would most apostles buy equipment that they can only look at and not use?

"Brother Chu, where did you get this?" Yang Qianyuan could tell that the Vajra Warrior was a divine spirit beast, but he couldn't understand why Chu Danqing had one.

Da Bao and Da Gu, their twin Purple Mansions are already full, how come another one appears?
"He's more like an off-field helper," Chu Danqing said seriously.

The identities provided by Paradise can indeed offer Apostles a high degree of disguise, making the systems from other trial worlds seem plausible.

But they're not stupid, nor do they have a distorted understanding. Everyone can only refine one spirit beast per Purple Mansion, and two is acceptable, after all, they are exceptionally talented.

But your third one is a bit of a challenge to people's values.

Yang Qianyuan felt increasingly that Chu Danqing's origins were shrouded in mystery.

"Now is not the time to talk about these things. I think we should nip the problem in the bud first," Chu Danqing immediately changed the subject.

The Fang family did have a large number of people, but Chu Danqing's arrival was too fierce, and he immediately intimidated most of them.

Seeing this, Yang Qianyuan could only help on the spot and quickly gathered everyone together.

There were at least two or three hundred people, and with Da Bao and the Vajra Warriors present, they managed to maintain order.

Xu Congwen came from a scholarly family and had experience in this area, so he began to follow the clues to find something that could bring down the Fang family.

Since we've already offended them, we definitely have to crush them immediately.

Believe it or not, we actually found something.

“It’s Orchid Blood Dew.” Yang Qianyuan examined the box of jade bottles that Xu Congwen had found, took a sniff, and his expression darkened.

Xu Congwen looked bewildered. The name sounded nice, but he had smelled it before; it had a fishy, ​​foul odor.

Chu Danqing had no idea what it was; he had been in this trial world for less than a day.

"If a Yaksha soldier wants to become a special Yaksha general, he must have this Ghost Orchid Blood Dew."

"This substance is made from the blood of women; just one small bottle requires draining the blood of a woman alive," Yang Qianyuan said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing and Xu Congwen's expressions also darkened.

This huge box contains at least a hundred bottles.

This means that at least hundreds of lives were lost as a result.

“According to the An Yong Law, the blood and dew of the orchid are prohibited items.” Yang Qianyuan continued, “Someone, go and invite the Prefect to preside over the ceremony.”

"This is a major case!"

Even wiping out an entire family is not as serious as privately creating this "Dew of Orchid Blood".

As for why we don't directly ban the Yaksha soldiers, that's because we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Since it's not just Yaksha soldiers that possess this kind of unorthodox evolutionary method, most spirit beasts have it, so we can't just ban all spirit beasts, can we?

It's the same as a kitchen knife; it's meant for cutting vegetables, but some people use it to commit crimes.

During the An'ei era, it was not illegal to have weapons and armor at home; on the contrary, it was a serious crime to possess or manufacture materials used for such evil practices.

Upon seeing this, Xu Congwen quickly said, "I'll go."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran out of the Fang residence gate.

He didn't trust the servants of the Fang family to go.

Yang Qianyuan felt a vague unease. The spirit beasts of the Fang family were not Yaksha soldiers, but rather the two monks were involved.

Previously, during his divination, he realized that the monk had extensive connections and was related to the general trend of the world.

Now that the Orchid Blood Dew has surfaced, he doesn't believe it's just a coincidence.

The Prefect arrived quickly with his troops. He first glanced at Yang Qianyuan, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, he went to check the box of Orchid Blood Dew.

"Guards, take everyone away and interrogate them thoroughly to find out the origin of the contraband." After confirming, the Prefect's eyes flashed with a cold light.

Fortunately, it was discovered. If it had caused even more serious problems under his rule, not only would he have lost his official position, but his life would have been in danger.

"Thank you all for your help. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!" The Prefect assured him immediately, praising Chu Danqing for his meticulousness and courage. As for Chu Danqing's previous act of murder, its nature had now changed, transforming from arrogance and domineering to an act of bravery.

Not only was there no punishment, but there was also a huge reward.

"My lord, I think there must be something fishy going on here." A middle-aged man dressed in armor, accompanied by a venomous leopard, arrived and looked at the crowd with an unfriendly expression.

Xu Congwen explained the identity of the visitor to Chu Danqing and Yang Qianyuan in a low voice: "This is the Fang family's backer, Cheng Xunyan, the Prefectural Commandant."

The other party learned of the incident at the Fang residence immediately, but they were too late; both of their brothers-in-law were already dead.

"Commander Cheng, what do you think could be suspicious?" The Prefect stared straight at the other man.

Cheng Xunyan felt strange: Normally, the Prefect would show him some respect because he held troops, was a general under the Prince of Ning, and came from a prominent local family.

Why am I working against myself today?

His gaze swept over the box of Orchid Blood Dew.

"Of course it's this box of Orchid Blood Dew. Our An Yong Dynasty is peaceful and prosperous, how could we have such a forbidden item? I think someone is trying to take advantage of this incident." Cheng Xunyan immediately tried to shift the blame back.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Prefect.

"Captain Cheng, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

"The evidence is conclusive. What's the suspicious about this?" This time, the Prefect had no intention of giving Cheng Xunyan any face.

He usually treats you with respect because he is going to be an official in Guanglu Prefecture, and his connections are so strong that it's not easy to offend him.

To advance their careers, they would naturally have to endure it.

But if this matter isn't handled properly, he himself could lose his life, and you want him to take the blame in order to protect the Fang family?
Having been arrogant all along, you really think that he, a dignified prefect, is just a servant of yours, Cheng Xunyan, and can take the blame whenever he wants?

"Close the file. This matter involves the Fang family. Lieutenant Cheng, you are related to the Fang family by marriage. It is not appropriate for you to get involved. Remove your armor and go back to rest in seclusion."

"It's not too late to reinstate him after we have the results." The Prefect took Cheng Xunyan down with him.

However, Cheng Xunyan smiled and said, "What you say is true, but you can't touch my official position."

"Since the Prefect says there's nothing suspicious, then there isn't."

"Take these criminals and the evidence into custody and interrogate them thoroughly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers brought by Cheng Xunyan rushed forward and arrested everyone from the Fang family, including the box of Youlan Blood Dew.

He then gave the Prefect a defiant look before turning and leaving.

He can't argue with you, but he has soldiers under his command, so what can you do?

The prefect was so angry at this scene that his face turned red.

Chu Danqing and Yang Qianyuan remained silent on the side.

“This person seems to have a problem,” Chu Danqing said.

“It’s inseparable from the Orchid Blood Dew.” Yang Qianyuan went on to say more: “His arrogant and domineering attitude seemed to be for the sake of saving the people of the Fang family, but his real purpose was that box of Orchid Blood Dew.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, those two monks are only temporarily residing at the Fang residence; the Youlan Xuelu is someone else."

“This Cheng Xunyan is probably just one link in the chain, rather than the real demander.”

As the matter became more and more complicated, Yang Qianyuan began to suspect that Guanglu Prefecture was merely a transit point or a production site.

"You must not say that Commandant Cheng is a former subordinate of Prince Ning and still frequently associates with him." At first glance, the Prefect seemed to be giving a warning, but in reality, he was revealing Cheng Xunyan's powerful backer.

This means that since you believe there is someone else, then that person must be Prince Ning.

However, as the ruler of a prefecture, the Prefect himself knew what he should and should not say, which is why he pretended to remind him.

Having said that, Chu Danqing had already made a list of names for this Prince Ning in his mind. After completing the trial mission and the chain mission, he would find an opportunity to kill Prince Ning.

"Your Excellency, the criminal and the evidence have been taken away by Lieutenant Cheng. What will happen?" Xu Congwen said worriedly.

"Don't worry about this for now, I'll handle it." Although the Prefect had lost face tonight, since Cheng Xunyan didn't follow the rules, he wouldn't be blamed for not following them either.

"It's getting late. You all need to get up early to leave the city tomorrow. I think it would be better to rest well and conserve your energy so that you can set off tomorrow."

The Prefect is definitely not going to sleep tonight, but he still needs to get rid of these people in front of him.

Yang Qianyuan wanted to say something more, but Chu Danqing cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Lord Prefect, to make the arrangements."

Xu Congwen and Yang Qianyuan were also surprised to hear Chu Danqing's words. Given Chu Danqing's personality, how could this matter be left unresolved?

They must not directly beat Cheng Xunyan until her face was covered in peach blossoms.

"Of course, of course," the prefect replied, and immediately had someone take them to rest.

After things calmed down, Chu Danqing looked at Yang Qianyuan and asked, "Is there any way to let Cheng Xunyan know that we are leaving the city tomorrow morning, so that she will come after us with resentment and take revenge?"

It's not easy to kill people in the city, but once outside the city, An Yonglu has no say in the matter.

After Chu Danqing said that, Yang Qianyuan and Xu Congwen thought it made sense. It would be a problem if they really tolerated it.

“Yes, Brother Chu, yes.” Yang Qianyuan said immediately.
