Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 276 Spirit Beast Compendium: Reincarnation Nirvana Lotus

"Mr. Chu, what's going on?" Xiong Zhigang noticed something was amiss as soon as he arrived.

"The situation is rather complicated, but to sum it up in one sentence, Prince Ning has rebelled. Brother Guo and I have already dealt with Prince Ning, but his army is difficult to control," Chu Danqing said.

Kuma Shigeoka immediately understood that he was being asked to help clean up the mess.

"I see. Don't worry, Mr. Chu, leave this to me." Xiong Zhigang was experienced.

They just had never dealt with such a large number of prisoners before.

Fortunately, after being blessed and empowered by Chu Danqing, his and his soldiers' strength also increased, so the situation was not too difficult to handle.

Having the ability is the key.

With Xiong Zhigang's intervention, the remaining rebel forces of the false emperor were quickly and properly settled.

Chu Danqing also took the time to check his rewards, especially the spirit beast diagram of the Reincarnation Nirvana Lotus.

The name sounds impressive, but it's probably just a bluff.

Like the million-strong army, it's unknown how much of it is mixed with water. How could a level 1 trial world possibly produce something that involves both reincarnation and nirvana?

【Mythical Beast Compendium: Reincarnation and Nirvana Lotus】

【Type: Knowledge Item】

【Quality: Excellent】

[Durability: 100/100]

[Effect: By nurturing according to the diagram, the Purple Mansion Spirit Beast can be evolved into the Reincarnation Nirvana Lotus]

[Restriction: Must be refined using lotus-type plant spirit beasts within the Purple Mansion]

The good news is that it's of the excellent standard.

There was no bad news; he received the highest possible reward.

The difficulty levels are B, A, and S, which, according to his guess, correspond to the three qualities of excellent, good, and outstanding, respectively.

This spirit beast chart is most likely an evolutionary path that Paradise specially deduced for his Heart-to-Heart Lotus.

Although Chu Danqing did not know all the spirit beasts, he was certain that the Heart-to-Heart Lotus did not have this type of evolutionary path.

Its evolutionary path is the concentric lotus, the twin lotus, and the lotus of reincarnation and nirvana.

It includes not only evolutionary pathways but also a wealth of knowledge, though it is limited to this evolutionary series of spirit beasts and does not include knowledge about other spirit beasts.

Chu Danqing suspected that this spirit beast diagram could be used in the cultivation room.

After quickly glancing through it, Chu Danqing put it away.

To evolve it into a twin lotus, the prerequisite is that the five-dimensional attributes of the lotus seedling reach 30 points, and it also has three life-type skills and two plant-type skills.

Furthermore, both need to reach the maximum level before you can start trying to evolve.

Evolution may not be successful; it also depends on Chu Danqing's own knowledge and practical abilities.

After all, the Tongxin Lotus Seed is just a lotus seed without a self, possessing only the instincts of a plant.

Without Chu Danqing's intervention, it would probably have sprouted into a lotus of mutual affection.

Fortunately, the Spirit Beast Compendium explains how to increase the five-dimensional attributes of the Heart Lotus Seed while suppressing its failure to sprout.

The main focus is on improving the environment of the Purple Mansion.

It's not difficult; for Chu Danqing, it just means losing a few more health points.

Then there are various materials. The Purple Mansion doesn't have any special requirements; it doesn't require a special Purple Mansion to evolve.

As long as one's trial mission is successfully completed, there is no greater merit than saving the emperor.

He already saved Emperor Anyong, Yang Qianzheng, so what are these little resources compared to that?

Whether something is precious or not is relative. It may be precious to an individual, but it is not a problem at all for a dynasty.

The only challenge might be the environment, but that's not a concern for now.

Twin lotus blossoms are not difficult to make, but the Reincarnation and Nirvana lotus is still a long way off, and Chu Danqing has plenty of time to prepare.

After reviewing the spirit beast charts, Chu Danqing went to help settle the prisoners.

About three hours later, the prisoners were quickly settled.

Those evil-evolved spirit beasts were all eliminated.

Unfortunately, no treasure chests dropped. He figured he'd have to kill all the soldiers to get them.

Not only will there be treasure chests, but they might even be exceptional treasure chests with shimmering patterns.

However, the problem is that Chu Danqing wouldn't do that—kill 100,000 people in one go? That would be too crazy.

Not to mention that doing so would only cause the already stabilized situation to spiral out of control once again.

When dealing with the evil-evolved spirit beasts, there were vague signs that the army would lose control. Fortunately, Xiong Zhigang was experienced and relied on his expertise in military strategy and tactics to stabilize the situation in the first place.

“Mr. Chu, we’ve settled things for now, but with so many people, I’m afraid you and I are powerless to handle the aftermath,” Xiong Zhigang said.

If it were just a hundred people, there would be plenty of ways to handle it. But this is nearly 100,000 people, and the fact that they were able to deal with them in three hours is largely thanks to Guo Ming's strength. Otherwise, even with Chu Danqing's enhancement, Xiong Zhigang would still have had a difficult time.

"How about transforming it into a vital force?" Chu Danqing asked.

Kumashige thought for a moment, then asked, "Shall I command the troops?"

Who else could do it? Chu Danqing and Guo Ming don't know how.

"Is it convenient?" Chu Danqing had this in mind.

If he had that power, things would be much easier from here on out.

"It's convenient, but Mr. Chu, have you considered what might happen next?" Xiong Zhigang explained, "What will happen to them when you return, Mr. Chu?"

"Why not just return it to Emperor An Yong?" Chu Danqing said bluntly. "Look at these soldiers, they're just working for someone else. As long as they don't lack pay, clothing, or food, it doesn't matter who they work for."

"No one would be foolish enough to massacre an army of nearly 100,000 just because of suspicion."

“The high-ranking generals are dead, but the mid-ranking generals can remain loyal to the emperor and love their country.”

It can be complicated, but it can also be simple.

After going through such trials, Yang Qianzheng's sense of security must have decreased significantly, and he probably only has a few people he can trust.

Chu Danqing brought him an army of nearly 100,000, how could the other side possibly refuse?
They will hold it firmly in their hands and then use this power to wipe out these rebels.

“Since you are confident, Mr. Chu, let’s proceed according to your plan.” Xiong Zhigang naturally agreed.

He didn't know much about the situation in this trial world.

"Next, Brother Guo and I will go ahead and catch up with them."

"General Xiong, you lead the army north. I'll come back to find you as soon as I've picked up the people," Chu Danqing said.

How could their marching speed compare to Guo Ming's flying on his sword?

It's worth noting that the Eight Steeds Climbing the Dragon Carriage were quite fast; their names all refer to modes of transportation, so it would be very difficult for the average person to catch up with them.

“Alright, Mr. Chu, and Brother Guo, please go and return quickly.” Xiong Zhigang immediately agreed.

Chu Danqing took Da Bao with him, and Guo Ming flew with him on his sword, chasing after the location of the Eight Steeds Climbing the Dragon Carriage.

During the flight, Chu Danqing spoke to Guo Ming, saying, "Brother Guo, I have two things to ask of you."

"Brother Chu, you're too kind. Don't ask me to do this. We're very close, so let's be frank." Guo Ming felt that Chu Danqing was being too polite.

"The first thing I want you to send is two batches of pills, one batch for Commander Xiong, and of higher quality."

"The other batch is ordinary pills, not of high quality, but in large quantities, for Xiong Jinglue's soldiers."

“Although he has already reached level 1, he is short of resources and his improvement efficiency is too slow. If he does not improve further, he will probably fall behind,” Chu Danqing said.

Upon hearing this, Guo Ming smiled and said, "Brother Chu, don't worry, I have already prepared the things. I already noticed this problem when I saw Xiong Jinglue in the cultivation room last time."

"Xiong Jinglue's elixirs are easy to obtain, but his soldiers are indeed a bit troublesome, which is why it took some time."

"Okay, there's one more thing. Help me find some divination techniques. I've signed an alliance in this trial world, and you'll meet them soon."

"He is skilled in divination and can help me identify opportunities and conduct investigations and perceptions, which can be considered a supplement to our shortcomings," Chu Danqing said.

Upon hearing this, Guo Ming was also shocked: "Brother Chu, you were able to find such a talent?"

"It's alright. He mainly relies on spirit beasts, and then he also needs longevity pills. Using Heavenly Secrets to deduce things will shorten his lifespan, by as little as one or two hours, or as much as one or two years, so he needs to extend his lifespan," Chu Danqing added.

Guo Ming was shocked. He never imagined that divination could shorten one's lifespan so much.

"Is there nothing else besides shortening one's lifespan?" Guo Ming asked again.

"That's all." Upon hearing his question, Chu Danqing immediately knew that there was a Heavenly Secrets Calculation in the Trial World where Guo Ming was located, but the price was not so light.

"Alright, when I get back, I'll have my family collect some. But the Heavenly Secrets Method is far rarer than the Art of War, so I'm afraid we won't be able to collect anything of very high quality." Guo Ming also gave Chu Danqing a heads-up.

It's true that the Guo family has held high office for four generations, but they are not invincible. There will always be people who don't respect them.

"It's alright, as long as I have it." Chu Danqing knew that asking for both was unreasonable, so he said, "As for the payment, I have four True Spirit equipment pieces and an unopened Shining Excellent Treasure Chest."

"I'll open it and see if there's anything you like. If there is, I'll give it to you. If not, I'll have to wait until I go back to Paradise to exchange it for some things that your Guo family wants."

"Don't rush to refuse. Even brothers need to be clear about accounts. After all, it's not for my own use, and I can't just take it for free," Chu Danqing interrupted Guo Ming.

"Brother Chu, you flatter me. You've already paid for the goods," Guo Ming said with a smile. "Do you remember the Dragon Soul Ashes you gave me in the last trial world?"

"This item comes from an excellent-grade treasure chest with shimmering patterns. My ancestor deciphered the Dragon Punishment Mark from it, but unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to decipher the scale-scraping effect, so the true damage was lost."

"However, the puncture effect was deciphered."

"The Heavenly Gang Sword of Chenshi has benefited greatly, allowing my Guo family's Twelve Yuan Chen Sword Scripture to advance further."

The Guo family has no shortage of superior-grade items, but this superior-grade consumable comes from a treasure chest in Paradise, or from the system of other trial worlds.

It is certainly extraordinary.

“This is a gift from me, it’s different from payment for goods, so I should still pay it.” Chu Danqing disagreed with this statement.
