Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 267 Permanent Summoning Item: Lotus Seed of Unity
Upon opening the brocade box, a lotus seed was placed on a soft cushion.

This is clearly a newly propagated variety; the previous varieties of the Tongxin Lotus certainly did not receive this preservation treatment.

At most, it can be given some water to ensure it doesn't die or sprout. If it's not of any use in the future, it will probably be used directly as medicine.

Chu Danqing reached out and picked it up; he could feel a faint life force within it.

The lotus seedlings are not in good condition, as they have been passively put into a dormant state due to their living environment.

After a thorough inspection, it was found that the damage was not fundamental.

But in this situation, hibernation and weakness are actually good news.

It will actually be easier to refine.

“Very well, then I’ll accept it.” Chu Danqing said, taking out the Moon Shadow Demon Armor from his storage space: “This item is… Mr. Yun, do you think it can be used as a substitute?”

If that's not enough, I have this.

Before he could finish speaking, Yunshan hurriedly said, "No, no, Mr. Chu is already extremely grateful for your help in mediating between the Yun family and Prince Ning. How could I possibly accept this gift?"

Yunshan's eyes were actually full of longing as she looked at Yueying Yao Yuanzhou.

He could tell that it was a spirit armor, crafted from a spirit beast.

Spirit beasts are not rare, but those with advanced techniques are relatively rare.

The mainstream is spirit beasts, which has restricted the development of this area, resulting in a great scarcity of things like spirit armor and spirit weapons.

Because spirit beasts have their own will, you must feed them well if you treat them as tools, but if you treat them as objects to be slaughtered at will, this will cause a lot of disasters.

Therefore, the development of beast taming has made rapid progress, but in the development of using spirit beasts as materials, apart from the cultivation-related aspects, there has been little progress.

Given all these factors, Yunshan naturally wanted it, not to mention that the spirit armor given to her by Chu Danqing was of superior quality and priceless.

Chu Danqing saw through the other party's thoughts and stuffed the Moon Shadow Demon Core into the other party's arms, saying, "One thing is one thing. Since it's a purchase request, there's no reason not to pay."

Seeing this, Yunshan hurriedly tried to refuse, but after some back and forth, she finally couldn't resist Chu Danqing's enthusiasm and accepted it.

"Mr. Chu, I wonder when you plan to send a letter to Prince Ning to demonstrate that the Yun family has no disloyal intentions?" Yun Shan hurriedly asked.

Chu Danqing thought for a moment and then said, "Your method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. I plan to use a solution that can solve the problem once and for all."

His solution was, of course, to kill Prince Ning.

But we'll have to wait until he completes his mission.

The most urgent task is to refine the Lotus Seed of Unity.

"Don't worry, since Brother Chu agreed, nothing will happen. He's very capable," Yang Qianyuan added.

Chu Danqing's eye twitched. "Stop bragging!" he thought. He was afraid that if Yang Qianyuan kept bragging like this, he might have to fight the Prince of Ning.

"Yes," Chu Danqing replied, forcing a smile, but it wasn't appropriate to say it outright now, so he could only agree.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the group left.

Chu Danqing also said that if there was anything, they could go to the Longfeng Inn on the next street to find them.

As for Tang Ziwei, he had previously considered leaving, but after meeting his little fan, Yun Yun, the two seemed to be having a lively conversation.

Spruce also noticed, but pretended not to know.

His purpose in bringing his daughter was precisely this; he originally wanted to see if he could win over Chu Danqing or Yang Qianyuan, but neither of them showed any interest.

Fortunately, they managed to trap Tang Ziwei, who was their backup plan, so it wasn't too bad.

This advantage was largely due to his daughter's admiration for Tang Ziwei's talent.

Although it didn't meet expectations, it provided an extra layer of security.

After Chu Danqing and Yang Qianyuan returned to the Dragon and Phoenix Inn, Li Fengjie inquired about how things had gone.

"It went smoothly, except the Yun family was unlucky; their daughter was targeted by Prince Ning," Chu Danqing summarized briefly.

This made Li Fengjie's expression immediately turn serious.

She was worried that she would repeat the same mistake.

"But don't worry, we'll handle this together." Chu Danqing spoke frankly. Having too many debts is never a bad thing, especially since the target is only Prince Ning.

He then offered a few more words of reassurance before returning to his room to prepare for refining the Lotus Seed of Unity.

Refining is not difficult, after all, even local ruffians and poor people can refine spirit beasts, which means it is something simple and easy to understand.

Chu Danqing's identity knowledge is already included.

However, he couldn't use it before he had the Purple Mansion talent, so it could only be classified as common knowledge.

But things are different now; with the Purple Mansion, things are much simpler.

Under his control, Zi Fu established a connection with the Heart-to-Heart Lotus Seed. Since the Heart-to-Heart Lotus Seed was a plant-type spirit beast without its own power and was in a weak and dormant state, it was refined in an instant.

There is absolutely no difficulty involved.

[You are refining the target using your talent, Purple Mansion. The target's self-will is being assessed.]

[Judgment failed; the target object lacks a sense of self]

[Attribute difference determination begins.]

[Verification successful. You have completed the refining process and formed a contract.]

You have obtained a permanent summon item: Lotus Seed of Unity.

A series of Paradise Judgments took effect, the Heart-to-Heart Lotus Seed was taken into the Purple Mansion, and began to absorb Chu Danqing's life force to begin its recovery.

However, this Tongxin Lotus Seed seems to be different from Da Bao, Da Bai, and Da Gu.

They all have two-part names and also have names, but the Tongxinlian species only has a species name.

Perhaps it's because the Lotus Seed of Unity lacks a sense of self. Moreover, even spirituality seems unable to save the Lotus Seed of Unity; while spirituality has increased, it hasn't been endowed with self-awareness.

【Lotus Seeds of Unity】

【attribute】

【HP: 100%】

[Spiritual Energy Value: 1]

【Strength: 1】

[Agility: 1]

[Physique: 1]

【Spirit: 1】

【Perception: 1】

【Spirituality: 30】

【talent】

【Spiritual Objects of the Heart】

[Effect 1: Drains Apostle (Spiritual) points of health per minute as a life force reserve, with a reserve cap of: Apostle's maximum health × 2]

【Skill】

【United We Stand (Passive) LV.MAX: When an Apostle takes damage, it will consume the life force stored in the Lotus Seed to offset the damage】

【Lotus Seed Guardian (Passive) LV.MAX: When the life force stored in the lotus seed reaches its maximum, the life value absorbed will be converted into an equivalent shield. Shield maximum: Apostle's maximum life value × 10】

Chu Danqing opened the attribute panel, and the good news was that both his talents and skills had made up for his last weakness.

As for the low absorption rate per minute? That's a piece of cake. Chu Danqing even took the initiative to increase the threshold and control the Lotus Seed in the Purple Mansion to increase the absorption efficiency.

This is much more convenient than drawing blood, and from this point on, the previous health points can be kept at 50%.

All the passive skills that require a reduction in health to fully activate have reached their peak effect in this one.

In fact, the life points that the Lotus Seed needs to absorb are not only as a reserve to offset damage, but also as a reserve of nutrients needed for the growth of the Lotus Seed.

The storage capacity is quite large, and the extra capacity is used for other purposes.

Most of the Heart-to-Heart Lotus Seeds do not actually have the skill of Lotus Seed Guarding the Heart; his Heart-to-Heart Lotus Seeds are among the best of their kind.

However, because it is in the lowest form, even the best ones are not very strong.

"The good news is great, but the bad news is terrible. All five attributes are only 1 point," Chu Danqing muttered.

The Purple Mansion only gave Chu Danqing feedback on the attribute by 0.1, but it's still better than nothing.

As for how to cultivate him, Chu Danqing also had a clue.

Resources of the life system.

He has something readily available: his health points.

With 30 health points less per minute, Chu Danqing channeled all her remaining health points into the Heart-to-Heart Lotus Seed through her Purple Mansion whenever she had more than 50% health.

After the life force reserves and shield value limits are reached, the subsequent overflow of life force is locked in the Purple Mansion by Chu Danqing as a more suitable environment for the growth of the Heart Lotus.

"It seems I need to ask Qian Yuan for help in finding a spirit beast skill to compensate for the decline in stats caused by low health." Chu Danqing has lost 50% of his health, and his stats have dropped significantly.

Fortunately, he didn't need to fight, so although it was uncomfortable, he could still bear it.

After he has maximized both reserves and array defense, he will restore his health.

Then my gaze fell upon the chain of quests, which was now in its final stage.

Because the rewards have already been given out.

[Third step of the chain mission: Kill a member of the An'ei Dynasty royal family]

[Trial Difficulty: Rank B ~ Rank S (Warrior ~ Nightmare)]

[Trial Rewards: Obtain Purple Mansion Spirit Beast Evolution Blueprints based on the status of the royal relatives defeated]

[Trial Failed: None]

"The final ring of Tianchi Dragon's obsession is to send me to kill members of the royal family. Doesn't that mean that the death of Qian Yuan's father was related to members of the royal family of the An Yong Dynasty?" Chu Danqing frowned.

The tasks definitely don't appear randomly; they will be related to the items themselves.

"It seems I need to talk to Qian Yuan; he obviously doesn't know about this either," Chu Danqing muttered.

As for how to explain it, there's no need to explain now. It's not too late to explain it after he returns to Paradise and summons Yang Qianyuan.

Explaining it now is completely pointless.

If the other party trusts you, they definitely won't ask why.

"Speaking of which, if I want an S-rank, you don't mean I have to kill the emperor on his southern tour, do you? After all, this thing is divided according to status." Chu Danqing knew that the highest-ranking member of the royal family was naturally the emperor.

"It seems we can only put it on hold for now."

"Let's complete the trial mission first." Of course, Chu Danqing wanted the reward for the highest difficulty level.

The maximum potential and range of the Lotus Seed are the lowest among all permanent summons.

Without bloodline, talent cannot grow, and only some skills with high compatibility can grow through the growth of the Lotus Seed itself.

Especially in terms of skills, since it is just a plant without a self and cannot actively cultivate, and cannot use active skills, it probably cannot learn active skills either.

With a high-quality spirit beast blueprint, the Heart Lotus seed can evolve into a better spirit beast species to make up for its shortcomings in terms of upper limit and potential.
