Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 336 Many Children, Many Blessings; A Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandsons

Zhou Sheng was indeed telling the truth. Chu Danqing led a group of celestial craftsmen and common people for thirty miles and saw the city that the other party had mentioned.

It has indeed been abandoned for a long time, but all the facilities are very complete.

After arriving, the divine craftsmen and the common people began a bustling effort to repair the damage.

As for Da Bao, Chu Danqing didn't know where he had run off to, but it didn't matter. On the way here, he used 50% of his mana to summon him back remotely using the Guardian skill.

When he returned, Da Bao looked bewildered, carrying a fine-grade treasure chest with shimmering patterns.

If you get lost, there's no need to worry.

After all, Da Bao has a very sensitive sense of smell and can easily return the way he came and then follow the scent to catch up.

Chu Danqing and his group, leading the people, certainly couldn't move very fast.

The craftsmen and the common people were full of energy, especially with the help of the crafting tools, the repair process was not only smooth but also very fast.

Chu Danqing, on the contrary, acted like an outsider and found a place to open the treasure chest.

After checking the attributes of the two pieces of equipment, Chu Danqing stored them in his storage space.

These two pieces of equipment probably won't fetch much if sold. I'll give them to Xiong Zhigang after he advances in rank.

Especially the Tiger Might Shoulder Armor, two of its effects are only usable by him, and Chu Danqing's summoned creatures should not be able to trigger them.

The shoulder armor is definitely a True Spirit equipment; after all, it came from a treasure chest with shimmering patterns. I'll have to spend Paradise Points to awaken it when I get back.

However, the quality of this Shining Treasure Chest is a bit low, probably because Chu Danqing didn't kill all the demons, only a portion of them, so the equipment obtained is significantly different from the Paradise Points.

This indirectly confirmed one thing for Chu Danqing.

If the treasure chests dropped by the Great Demon are of the Fine grade, then the treasure chests dropped by the Demon Catastrophe must be of the Excellent grade.

If you just want the patterns to shine, you'll probably have to kill not only the Mountain Lord, but also all the demons under his command.

Chu Danqing wasn't worried about how to kill the Mountain Lord, but rather that there were too many demons and monsters, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to kill them all.

Thinking about this, he suddenly realized a blind spot.

"Fellow Daoist Hong, there is something I don't understand," Chu Danqing asked.

Hong Shixun, who was busy at work, put down his work and asked with some doubt, "Fellow Daoist Chu, please ask."

"The Chongde Dynasty is so perverse, treating people as demons and firewood to slaughter indiscriminately. The people of the world are not inexhaustible. Aren't they afraid of what will happen after they kill too many people and there are none left?" Chu Danqing asked.

Even with chives, they are cut, not plucked out by the roots.

"The evil Taoist Chongde used evil qi and some rotten flesh to refine a pill that brings many children and much happiness."

"Any man or woman who takes this medicine and then has intercourse will definitely conceive, with at least five children in one pregnancy."

"After taking this pill, not only will there be no risk of difficult childbirth, but one month will be equivalent to ten months."

"Later, a pill for a hundred sons and a thousand grandsons was fed to the infant, and in ten months he grew up to be no different from an adult."

"There is no need to worry about food during this period, as the evil Taoist Chongde also raises Tai Sui and humus."

“When contaminated by evil energy, it tastes incredibly delicious to ordinary people, and can be called an excellent food. This is called official food.”

"If one wishes to continue to eat official food, one must be pregnant."

"This cycle repeats itself endlessly, leaving the people numb and apathetic, spending their days as mere servants just to eat the government's food." Hong Shixun said, his voice filled with indignation.

At first glance, what Hong Shixun said seemed to imply that as long as you have a child, you will have enough to eat and drink and you won't have to worry about anything.

The problem is that anything related to evil energy is not a good thing.

Not to mention that these behaviors are essentially domestication.

"The pill of many children and many blessings may enable one to have many children, but it comes at the cost of the parents' lives."

"Eating just one of these pills will shorten your lifespan by at least ten years."

"In Chongde, forty is considered a long life. How many years can an ordinary person live after taking one pill?"

"The Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandsons Pill is even more vicious. It makes people grow up in ten months, but their minds do not change at all. Over time, everyone in the world except for demons will become stupid."

"The so-called official food, if consumed for a long time, will accumulate evil qi in the body, and when the people reach the end of their lifespan, it will still be put to good use."

“Not only can corpses be used by demons, but the fact that officials consume food can extract even more evil energy.” Hong Shixun explained the dangers.

After listening, Chu Danqing remained silent. An ordinary person's life had been so thoroughly drained.

And this is not the limit; even future generations must be completely transformed into talented individuals.

If it weren't for the desperate resistance of the celestial craftsmen, everything would probably have been settled in another ten years.

"See if you can glean anything from this," Chu Danqing said, handing the statue of the divine artifact, the Summoning Technique, to Hong Shixun.

Hong Shixun was taken aback, not expecting Chu Danqing to give it to him.

Realizing what was happening, he quickly refused: "No, this was given to you by Fellow Daoist Zhou, how could I possibly comprehend it?"

Although Hong Shixun claimed to be weak, he never intended to take Chu Danqing's things.

"Try it first. I don't have much free time lately. If you can't figure it out, you can give it back to me later." Chu Danqing didn't seem to care.

Putting everything else aside, as long as you leave yourself with just a little durability, you'll be able to sell it later.

The value may be lost, but this loss will occur in the future.

If Hong Shixun can truly comprehend it, it will be of great help to his rank advancement trial.

The fact that Chongde besieged an entire prefecture because of this masterpiece of engineering naturally demonstrates its importance.

"Then thank you very much for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Chu." Hong Shixun finally chose to accept.

He knew, of course, that Chu Danqing's words were just an excuse, but since the other party was so sincere, it would be a waste of the other party's good intentions if he made any more excuses.

In fact, Hong Shixun was also thinking that perhaps Chu Danqing didn't need this masterpiece at all.

Judging from previous performances, this masterpiece might not even be as good as Chu Danqing himself.

After all, even the Yonghua Society couldn't stop Ban Nu and the demon army it led.

But Chu Danqing simply killed Ban Nu, and his bloody tiger head is still hanging at the city gate as a demonstration.

What you consider precious, the other person may only find ordinary.

Hong Shixun guessed correctly at the beginning, but he guessed wrong in the end.

Chu Danqing also felt that this Heavenly Craftsmanship Achievement - Summoning the Gods Technique was precious, as it was an excellent-quality inherited skill.

Even if the value of Paradise Points depreciates at Tier 2 due to their preservation, it doesn't mean there's no market for them.

"How's the repair going? Can we move in tonight?" Chu Danqing changed the subject after the other party accepted the gift.

"Making do the lodging isn't a problem, but food will be." Hong Shixun put away the statue and then said with a bitter face, "I've already taken stock, and it can only last for three days at most."

"Although there are celestial artifacts that can accelerate the growth of vegetation and produce a batch within three days, we are too conspicuous. I'm afraid the demon army will arrive again before the crops ripen."

Hong Shixun was confident in Chu Danqing's strength, even believing that he could fight against Shan Jun.

The problem is that there are too few people.

If a thousand demons can't kill them, what about ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or even a million?
The Chongde dynasty possessed an immense number of demons; the siege of Xunzhou by the mountain king alone was estimated to have involved at least 100,000 demons.

It would be extremely difficult for them to establish themselves in this city.

Indeed, as Zhou Sheng said, Xunzhou was not a suitable place to settle down.

If you want to develop, you must first find a suitable position; otherwise, you will lack manpower and food, and you will not be able to survive, let alone resist.

But because they were all scattered and disorganized, like headless flies, there was no good solution for them at the moment, so they could only stay here.

"The demon army is indeed a problem, but if we capture the leader first and kill the mountain lord, will the demon army retreat?" Chu Danqing asked.

Chu Danqing himself knew it was unrealistic to expect him to kill all the demons.

The best solution is to kill the mountain lord first, then kill a group of demons. As for what happens next, we'll have to wait and see.

Hong Shixun thought for a moment and said, "This... I don't know."

The main problem is that no one has ever done such a thing before. Shan Jun was one of the pillars of the Chongde Dynasty.

"Ever since the Chongde Dynasty swept away the foreign powers, even mid-level demons like the Peerless Generals have rarely died, let alone the Mountain Lords."

"The greatest demon to die in the past ten years was the son of the Mountain Lord, the valiant Bo Ban Nu, whom you killed, Fellow Daoist Chu."

“However, Fellow Daoist Chu, you should know best what happened to those demons when Ban Nu died,” Hong Shixun told Chu Danqing.

"Ah, this." Chu Danqing had anticipated the Heavenly Craftsman's poor performance, but it still came as a surprise.

"Okay, I'll ask Da Bao later."

That was the only answer Chu Danqing could give; what else could she do?

The two chatted back and forth, and soon it got dark. Chu Danqing's understanding of the Chongde Dynasty deepened.

In the past, he would maintain stability and ensure that ordinary people could live a better life by carrying out stability maintenance.

But the Chongde Emperor didn't have so many concerns; he could just kill anyone from the imperial court he saw.

There's no need to worry about stability at all, because even the worst-performing ordinary person won't be that bad.

Even death can be considered a liberation.

"Arrange for personnel to be on duty, and notify me immediately if anything happens." Chu Danqing didn't sleep, but he still needed to cultivate.

He's in charge of the military, so he certainly doesn't need to worry about other trivial matters.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, rest assured, I and several other fellow Daoists have already made arrangements for this matter." Hong Shixun had not experienced it himself, but he had been managed by others, so it was not difficult for him to follow suit.

In fact, few of these celestial craftsmen had any experience in this area; they all had to bite the bullet and go for it.

"Okay, then get some rest." Chu Danqing replied and left with Da Bao.

Seeing this, Hong Shixun had no objections; on the contrary, he hoped that Chu Danqing would get some rest.

In their view, Chu Danqing needed to conserve his energy, otherwise, when the demons arrived, they would have no chance of defending the city.

What if Chu Danqing is really made to do the work and it affects his performance?
