Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 287 If the people are no good, the treasure chest is useless too.

On the way, Chu Danqing found the equipment that Yang Qianjing had left for him on Yang Taizhi's body. It was an excellent quality piece of equipment.

[Twenty-Four Line Puppet Jade]

[Type: Equipment - Jade Pendant]

【Excellent quality】

[Durability: 38/100]

【Threaded Puppet (Active): Consumes 1 point of durability to release puppet threads, performing an attribute check on the target. If the check is successful, the enemy is permanently controlled as a living puppet; if the check fails, an additional 1 point of durability is consumed. Maximum control limit for living puppets: 24】

【Supplement Yourself (Active): Consumes 1 point of durability to add 10% of the total attributes of all puppets to yourself for 5 minutes. Cooldown: 24 hours】

【Jade Protection (Passive): For each living puppet present, your own health regeneration efficiency increases by 10】

【Way of the Living Puppet (Passive): The living puppet can plunder one unit of soul power for each target it kills. When the progress reaches 100%, the quality is upgraded. Quality progress: 11%, Evolution count: 3】

[Equipment Requirements: 10 Spirit Points]

Chu Danqing glanced at the equipment's attributes and immediately noticed the problem.

First, the bonus is too weak, and second, the equipment requirements are too low.

He suspected that Yang Qianjing might have used certain items to lower the equipment requirements, which led to the equipment's attribute effects being severely weakened or even disappearing altogether.

Otherwise, given Yang Taizhi's attributes, how could he possibly equip it and use it so flexibly?

Even growth-level equipment is now useless.

"I'll just use it to make do with what I have," Chu Danqing muttered, then put it away.

Upon hearing this, Yang Taizhi was so angry that his eyes bulged out.

“This is a treasure, my father!” Yang Taizhi immediately wanted to refute, in his view, this equipment was the foundation of his rebellion.

However, Chu Danqing didn't have time to listen to his words. Instead, he asked, "By the way, did your father know the previous King of Jiaoying?"

Chu Danqing suddenly realized that Yang Qianyuan's father's death seemed to be related to the apostles.

Coincidentally, Yang Qianjing became a follower of the apostle.

“Tell me, and I promise I won’t say anything bad about you when I see His Majesty later,” Chu Danqing said honestly.

He never intended to exaggerate or say anything bad.

Yang Taizhi initially dismissed Chu Danqing's words.

But then I thought, it's a good thing that fewer people are kicking someone when they're down.

"Yes, there was a period of fighting back then. I don't know the specifics, but it is said that the previous King of Jiaoying lost."

"The matter was only put to rest after the death of a close friend of the King of Jiaoying." Yang Taizhi didn't know much about it.

This happened more than a decade ago, and Yang Qianjing was extremely vague about it, so Yang Taizhi only knew some fragmentary details.

After hearing this, Chu Danqing understood most of it.

It is very likely that the apostle who was supposed to take Yang Qianyuan's father away died because of a conflict of interest and ultimately failed to defeat Yang Qianjing's apostle team.

Even the death of Tianchi Dragon stemmed from this, which is why Tianchi Dragon became obsessed with it.

At the time, Tianchi Long did not know that this was not a struggle within the royal family, but only thought it was a power struggle.

At that time, another matter was Yang Qianzheng's rise to power.

According to Yang Zhenhao, if there is no son, the throne will pass to the younger brother. Yang Qianyuan's father was also of the Zhen generation, so the conflict of interest at that time also involved the struggle for the throne.

Yang Qianjing was likely helping his father, a prince of the Zhen generation, to seize power.

But no one expected that the ultimate victor would be Yang Qianzheng, or rather, the officials of the court.

"Is there anything else?" Chu Danqing continued to ask.

Yang Taizhi shook his head: "No, these things were told to me by my mother."

"But even my mother doesn't know much about what happened back then."

Chu Danqing had anticipated this, since it involved an apostle, and many things naturally fell into disarray after the person left.

Not to mention that more than ten years have passed since then, and Yang Qianyuan wasn't even born yet.

Chu Danqing asked some more questions, but Yang Taizhi was unable to answer any of them. At this point, Chu Danqing realized that the other party had nothing to say.

That's why he quickened his pace and took Yang Taizhi to see Yang Qianzheng.

"You're back." Yang Qian glanced at Yang Taizhi, who had been captured by Chu Danqing, his expression calm.

This made Yang Taizhi even more uneasy. If someone were to angrily question him about why, he would still have a chance to explain.

Ignoring it is a very dangerous behavior.

"Hmm, how should we handle this?" Chu Danqing asked decisively.

"Kill them." Yang Qian was bowing his head and continuing to review the memorials when he casually gave the result.

Yang Taizhi immediately bristled and hurriedly shouted, "The late Emperor Taizu's dying wish, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Danqing twisted the other man's neck, while Chunyang Tianjiang cleaved Yang Taizhi's fluorescent fish-dragon into a bloody pulp with a single sword strike.

[Mission Completed, You Gain: Paradise Points x 5000, Attribute Points +3]

A fine-quality treasure chest with shimmering patterns appeared on Yang Taizhi's corpse.

This made Chu Danqing think to himself that he might be able to make another fortune.

You need at least one Purple Mansion Talent Book.

Several eunuchs began cleaning up the mess, while Chu Danqing asked, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now." "Okay, go ahead and get back to work." Yang Qian knew that Chu Danqing's mind wasn't on power, so he was quite at ease.

We also need people like Chu Danqing to help.

He has the ability, but no ambition.

As for resources? That's a minor issue.

On the way back, Chu Danqing opened the treasure chest.

[You have opened: Treasure Chest (Excellent), and obtained: Talent Book (Purple Mansion), Illusory Fish Pond, Paradise Points ×2900 × 5]

【Illusory Light Fish Pond】

[Type: Equipment and Accessories]

[Durability: 100/100]

[Quality: Excellent]

【Fish Shadow in the Pot (Active): Consumes 1000 mana to summon a fluorescent fish shadow that can absorb 1000 damage for 15 minutes. Cooldown: 30 minutes】

【Gloomy Protection (Active): Consumes 500 mana to activate the Dragonfish's bioluminescence, granting all allied summoned creatures within 10 meters deep-sea vision (ignoring dark environments) for 24 hours, with a 10-minute cooldown】

【Fluorescent Bubbles (Passive): The Fish Shadow can spit out fluorescent bubbles, dealing 1000 points of light damage to enemies】

【Dragonfish Wave (Passive): When in a water environment, restores 1 mana per second and increases movement speed by 5%】

[Equipment Requirements: 15 points in Constitution, 15 points in Spirit]

Chu Danqing glanced at the equipment, summoned the fluorescent fish shadow to test it out, and then threw it into the storage space.

It should also be a True Spirit equipment, but it's of no use to Chu Danqing.

The fluorescent fish shadow is like a ribbon, its main purpose is to block a knife, but because the fish shadow is a ribbonfish, it is only about an arm's length and width.

Its swimming speed is not slow, but its damage reduction is really limited.

It's not exactly useless, it's just not really suitable for Chu Danqing.

If we keep it and sell it, someone will definitely buy it.

The main complaint is that the fluorescent fish shadow has a time limit.

Chu Danqing prefers summons that are sustained by mana rather than those with cooldowns.

As usual, the most valuable item is the Innate Talent Book, Purple Mansion.

Chu Danqing changed course halfway and went directly to the treasure vault, where he opened the faction shop and selected to exchange.

"The Jade Spirit Dragon's spirit beast chart, plus high-quality spirit beast sealing talismans, and then a series of excellent and fine-grade resources needed for evolution."

"Finally, it's time for the spirit beast to choose."

While Chu Danqing was exchanging the goods, the eunuchs in the treasury were preparing them for him.

"Let's choose the Golden Carp." Chu Danqing quickly selected the spirit beast and sealed it with a spirit beast sealing talisman.

The evolution path of the Jade Spirit Dragon is Pearl Radiance Dragon, Treasure Qi Dragon, and finally Jade Spirit Dragon. The base form can be either a fish or a snake.

It belongs to the orthodox path of dragon transformation.

In terms of ranking, the Jade Spirit Dragon is even above the Azure Sky Overlord Halberd.

However, this only considers the spirit beast itself; ultimately, the strength of a spirit beast depends on the human.

Otherwise, even if one possesses the spirit beast chart of the Jade Spirit Dragon, there is no way to complete the evolution.

"My lord, the spirit beast chart of this Jade Spirit Dragon is a royal secret. Do you have His Majesty's edict?" the eunuch in charge of the treasury asked cautiously.

After all, Yang Qianzheng's Purple Mansion Spirit Beast is the Jade Spirit Treasure Dragon, and he is not dead yet. Chu Danqing is afraid of offending him by taking it directly.

"You can send someone to get a copy, and I won't go." Chu Danqing was copying the knowledge from the Jade Spirit Dragon's Spirit Beast Atlas, and then said, "Then bring all the spirit beast atlases in the treasure vault, and I'll copy them."

He belatedly realized that this knowledge was related to the summoning system. Although it was limited to a certain species, there was no harm in learning it.

The eunuchs in the treasure vault were speechless upon hearing this. What did he mean by sending someone to ask for it?

That was the emperor, someone whose life could be taken with a single word.

But he couldn't afford to offend Chu Danqing, so he could only reply, "Yes, I'll arrange it immediately."

He could only consult the emperor personally. As for Chu Danqing's request to copy the contents of the spirit beast chart, he could simply have someone handle that.

Before long, the eunuch from the treasury returned and respectfully handed the Jade Spirit Dragon's spirit beast illustrations to Chu Danqing.

Yang Qianzheng didn't care about this trivial matter at all. It was just a spirit beast chart, and the knowledge inside wasn't something that could be taken for granted.

After giving it to Chu Danqing, you can simply make another copy and put it back.

However, he did not make things difficult for the eunuchs in charge of the treasury, after all, he had experienced the matter of avoiding mentioning the taboo of the superiors many times before.

Since he became Emperor Anyong, no second Jade Spirit Dragon has been born.

In the past, Yang Qianzheng would have valued these things, but now, after experiencing a period of hardship and with his lifespan nearing its end, he has become very indifferent to them.

"The number seems to be small," Chu Danqing said, tidying up the spirit beast chart.

“My lord, the beasts that can be included in the royal treasury are all extraordinary. If you would like a beast with a slightly lower quality beast in your collection, I can take you there,” the treasury eunuch quickly said.

This wasn't a literal statement about taking Chu Danqing there, but rather an explanation that trash couldn't enter the treasure vault, hence the small quantity.

Chu Danqing understood and refused, saying, "No need, just copy from the treasure vault."
