Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 370 Acquired Spiritual Plant: Twin Lotus Blossoms (Heart Light)

After Emperor Chongde died, the country quickly descended into chaos.

The group of demonic cultivators who escaped from Tianjing City seized territory and quickly established new forces.

However, because the Evil Qi Imperial Vein was destroyed and all the Qi veins in the world were severed, the Evil Qi used by their demonic path suffered the greatest blow.

The most fatal flaw is that no more evil energy can be extracted from a person.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the sorcerers did not hesitate for a moment and immediately turned their attention to demons.

Because they discovered that not only could humans no longer extract evil energy, but the evil energy within demons was also decreasing.

The reduction was small, and the demons hadn't realized the problem yet.

The bodies and even souls of the demonic cultivators have become distorted, so they also need evil energy to maintain themselves.

Once they lose their evil energy, they will die, and they will suffer greatly before they die.

So instead of attacking ordinary people and celestial craftsmen, they started a civil war.

This is quite in line with Chu Danqing's impression of the demonic path.

However, in the internal strife among demons vying for evil energy resources, it was the demons who suffered the most.

Its demise was much faster than Chu Danqing had imagined.

The demons knew that if they didn't collect the evil energy from the demons' bodies as soon as possible, every second would be a loss.

On the contrary, although some items may be lost after they are collected, the loss rate is much lower because they are properly stored.

Furthermore, the demon might possess something that belongs to some evil sorcerer, and it's only truly valuable if it ends up in one's own hands.

This gave both the celestial craftsmen and ordinary people a chance to breathe and allowed them to grow rapidly.

Although the Qi they need is also disappearing, it is not fatal to them.

It's simply going back to ten years ago when Qi wasn't used so widely.

Even at its worst, life here is still much better than under the rule of the Chongde Emperor.

Without Emperor Chongde, the original order collapsed very quickly.

Because of the special nature of the Chongde Dynasty, Chu Danqing would occasionally pay attention, but sometimes the changes were so numerous that even he himself couldn't keep up.

As for the evil Taoists coming to seek revenge on him?

The sorcerers aren't fools; they can still make the simplest comparisons.

They couldn't defeat Emperor Chongde, who died at the hands of Chu Danqing.

They can still do simple size comparisons.

Therefore, when gathering intelligence, even if a sorcerer receives the information, he will simply pretend not to see it and quickly pack his belongings and run away.

They were afraid that Chu Danqing would come to exorcise the demon.

They wouldn't gamble that Chu Danqing was genuinely just trying to gather information about the situation or that he was itching to kill someone.

The stakes are their lives and fortunes.

Of course, Chu Danqing didn't actually have time to go find them; he was busy learning and nurturing the evolution of the giant flower.

Unexpectedly, as his return date approached, an acquaintance came knocking on his door.

"Leader Sun, you're not dead?" While Chu Danqing was playing with Da Bao, Da Bai, Da Gu, and Da Hua to build a closer relationship, Sun Lide actually found his residence.

That's normal; he didn't intentionally hide his whereabouts.

“I have to thank the Vice Leader for his help, otherwise I would have certainly not escaped death.” Sun Lide expressed his gratitude to Chu Danqing: “That day, the Vice Leader’s warriors broke into the Heavenly Prison, and I was fortunate enough to be rescued.”

"Later, I was lucky enough to escape the search and capture, and then you, the Vice Leader, killed Emperor Chongde, which gave me a sliver of hope."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing didn't have much of a reaction. Instead, he said, "What's with the talk of Vice Sect Leader? The Taiyi Sect is already extinct. If you don't mind, just call me Fellow Daoist."

"I wonder what business Leader Sun has with me?" Chu Danqing asked, getting straight to the point.

In fact, Chu Danqing had a guess that the other party simply wanted her to help him.

He would have agreed if he had another month to return.

However, he only has two days left before his return.

"I have a favor to ask," Sun Lide said immediately, "I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Chu to join me."

"My days are numbered," Chu Danqing interrupted the other person. "It might be just a few days."

"So even if I wanted to help, I was powerless to do so."

Upon hearing this, Sun Lide fell silent.

He originally thought that all conditions could be negotiated, even giving up his position to Chu Danqing was acceptable.

With Chu Danqing's help, many things will go much more smoothly, and people's livelihoods can be restored as soon as possible, making life better for ordinary people and helping them get through the Qi-resolving era.

However, to his utter surprise, Chu Danqing gave him this answer.

Sun Lide racked his brains and attributed it to the backlash from severing the Qi meridians of the world, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

"Is there still a chance for treatment?" Sun Lide was still unwilling to accept it; how could he die?

“There’s no chance anymore. I know my own situation,” Chu Danqing said immediately.

The amusement park doesn't give him time, and his small arms and legs can't compete with the amusement park.

We had no choice but to obediently go back.

Sun Lide could only sigh, "Alas, heaven is jealous of talent."

"Fellow Daoist Chu has done so much for the world, which makes me feel ashamed."

"But the conditions here are poor. Why don't you come with me to recuperate? That way we can have more time."

Chu Danqing lived in the mansion of a wealthy man, but it was dilapidated because it had been abandoned for a long time.

Chu Danqing didn't care and casually set up a tent.

Of course, the tent was just set up haphazardly, but the quality of life was exactly the same. "No need, it's a waste of manpower and resources," Chu Danqing immediately refused, "I'll stay here."

"I'll find a safe place where no one will find out, and you can just say I'm going out to travel the world."

"As long as you don't spread the news, you can use my name to suppress those evil Taoists for a few more years." Chu Danqing didn't know how powerful his reputation was, but he knew how useful his name was.

Without going into too much detail, there isn't a single demon or Taoist priest within a radius of fifty miles.

Even if they were passing by, they would march quickly, not daring to stop for a moment, for fear of encountering the wandering Chu Danqing on the road.

Seeing Chu Danqing's reaction, Sun Lide did not press the matter further.

"Fellow Daoist Chu is of noble character and integrity, but unfortunately, things did not go as planned." Sun Lide was genuinely disappointed, but he felt that he might not be up to the task, so he asked, "Fellow Daoist Chu, would you mind telling me where your hometown is?"

"I want to find our vice leader and ask him to come back and continue as the leader."

This made Chu Danqing even more helpless; even if she told you, you still wouldn't be able to find it.

"Didn't your vice leader say anything?" Chu Danqing asked in return.

“He didn’t say that, he just said we’d meet again if fate allowed,” Sun Lide replied.

“He’s right, we’ll meet again if fate allows.” Chu Danqing continued, “This can’t be forced.”

How can you force them? They can't even get into the amusement park.

Hearing this, Sun Lide understood that Chu Danqing wouldn't say it. Although he didn't understand, he didn't use moral blackmail.

"Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Chu." Sun Lide cupped his hands in thanks. "Then I will..."

"See you again someday," Chu Danqing said first.

"See you again someday!" Sun Lide knew that this was just a polite remark.

After this one time, there will be no possibility of ever meeting again.

After saying that, he left immediately.

"This guy is quite talented," Chu Danqing muttered.

It's a pity that the apostle who was good at mathematics and physics didn't take the other party away, otherwise he would definitely be a help.

As for signing an alliance with the other party? Chu Danqing had no such idea at all.

He and Sun Lide were not particularly close; they were merely casual acquaintances and not even friends.

Although the two sides can be considered like-minded, there are still differences between them.

Even if an alliance is signed, it would actually harm Sun Lide given his circumstances.

Neither the other party nor the trial world they are in is suitable for entering Paradise.

More importantly, there is no strategic resource output yet.

I'm not familiar with them emotionally, and I have no interest in them rationally.

Chu Danqing couldn't possibly sign contracts with every single person he met; he didn't have that many resources to provide.

After seeing Sun Lide off, Chu Danqing's gaze fell on the large flower in the Purple Mansion.

The large flower is no longer in the shape of a lotus seed, but a fully grown lotus plant with buds ready to bloom.

Once it blooms, its evolution will be considered complete.

Two days passed, and a seed grew into a twin lotus flower.

As the large flower evolved, the Purple Mansion·Danchi also began to improve further.

Immediately, Chu Danqing opened the panel of the big flower to take a look.

Evolution is a qualitative change, and it also has inherited skills. Doesn't this mean that evolving into the Reincarnation Nirvana Lotus might replenish the bloodline?
