Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 456 Discusses Bloodline, White Snake Steals Immortal Herb

Time passed second by second. Compared to the Great Five Elements Auspicious Beast Scripture, the Great Five Elements Blessing Foundation mainly relies on time to endure.

The Immortal Master Tongxuan accelerated this process by preaching the Dao and combining it with the three elixirs and hundreds of herbs that Chu Danqing consumed.

For Chu Danqing, it was a matter of waiting patiently, but for Tongxuan Immortal, it was simply a matter of accelerating things.

It wasn't until the Paradise's reminder appeared that Chu Danqing suddenly realized, as if waking from a dream, that the transformation of his Dao Foundation talent was complete.

He quickly checked it over.

【The Five Elements Bless the Foundation of the Way (Career)】

【Effect 1: The Five Elements Spirits evolve into the Five Elements Auspicious Spirits】

[Effect 2: Summoned Creature Spirituality +30]

[Effect 3: Summoned creature's basic attributes +30%]

[Effect 4: Summoned creatures regenerate 3% of their maximum health per minute after disengaging from combat]

[Effect 5: When a summoned creature receives overflow healing, the overflow is converted into (overflow value x 30) shield points]

[Effect 6: Mana Conversion Ratio +30]

[Effect 7: Mana Recovery Efficiency +300]

[Effect 8: Summoning skills consume 30% less mana]

[Effect 9: Summoning skill effects +30%]

The changes aren't significant. Aside from effect 1 changing the active skill of the Great Five Elements Auspicious Beast Scripture to a passive skill, there's also the addition of effect 9.

His growth in other areas was average.

In other words, it has many effects; otherwise, compared to other talents, it could only compete with the Purple Mansion.

He guessed it was because it hadn't fully matured yet, and there was still a primordial five auspicious directions Dao foundation to follow.

Ultimately, the Great Five Elements Auspicious Beasts Scripture is merely a lower-level version of the Five Directions Auspicious Beasts Diagram.

Chu Danqing even felt that this foundation was somewhat undeserving of its name; where did the word "blessing" go?
Let's at least add some luck.

"Thank you, senior." Chu Danqing stood up and expressed her gratitude.

This banquet hosted by the Immortal Master Tongxuan saved Chu Danqing a great deal of time and resources.

Moreover, there are huge gains to be made. The simplest point is that the medicinal power currently in his body is probably enough to cultivate the Five Auspicious Symbols Diagram and the Innate Five Auspicious Symbols Dao Foundation and still have most of it left.

If nothing unexpected happens, he won't be able to exhaust his resources before reaching level 4 or even level 5.

Moreover, the medicinal effects are basically not lost and can be stored in his body for a very long time.

According to his estimate, it wouldn't lose even one percent in a hundred years.

This is an incredible opportunity.

"Please have a seat, esteemed guest. This matter..." Immortal Tongxuan was about to answer Chu Danqing when he paused and changed the subject: "Please wait a moment, esteemed guest."

"Crane Boy, go to the mountain stream and fetch a gourd of spiritual spring water."

"Yes, sir." Crane Boy responded from outside and then flew towards the back mountain with the gourd.

Only Deer Boy was left outside.

Chu Danqing didn't understand why the Immortal Master Tongxuan asked that question, but he waited until the other party had finished dealing with it before asking.

“Senior, I have another question I would like to ask you,” Chu Danqing said.

"Please speak, esteemed guest," said the Immortal Master Tongxuan with a smile.

"It's about my Dabai," Chu Danqing pulled Dabai out of his head and then explained the situation.

The Immortal Master Tongxuan examined it carefully. Although he already knew about Da Bai's peculiarity, he was still amazed when he saw it again.

"I understand your thoughts, but I have a question for you," said the Immortal Tongxuan. "Are you solely fixated on the essence of dragons and snakes, and the fierce spirit of Xiangliu?"

"No, that's not it. I've asked others, and they say that Da Bai is limited by its bloodline, so they're thinking of having it complete its bloodline," Chu Danqing said.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be a dragon or snake; anything that suits it will do. The main goal is to make all nine of its heads grow so that it's not born with any defects."

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Master Tongxuan pondered for a moment.

“If it’s just the image of a dragon and snake, it’s not difficult to discern,” said the Immortal Master Tongxuan. “However, the Great White’s body is in harmony with another celestial being, and I cannot discern its origin.”

He was referring to the power of the guardian spirits.

"The two are like yin and yang, complementing each other and should not be moved lightly."

"Therefore, you don't have many options left."

“Speaking of which, you do have a problem that could resolve this trouble, but it will be difficult to resolve,” said the Immortal Master Tongxuan.

Chu Danqing paused for a moment, then asked, "Bai Zhenniang?"

"Yes, she was originally a long snake of qi, and after drinking the Golden Mother's Elixir, she now possesses a primordial qi within her body."

"When the calamity is overwhelming and the heavens are in chaos, we will retrieve this item. It will be just the right time to cleanse the evil spirit left by the Xiangliu evil god within Da Bai's body, and instead strengthen his immortal nature. At that time, it will not be difficult for him to grow nine heads," said the Immortal Master Tongxuan.

This primordial Qi is meant to be nurtured when the Wenqu Star is reincarnated.

As for why he told Chu Danqing, it was naturally to help her plan.

Chu Danqing thought for a moment, then said, "I have no grudge against her. If I want to get it, I can only steal or rob it. I have principles and I will not do certain things."

"I wonder if there are any other suitable ones?"

Upon hearing Chu Danqing's words, the Immortal Tongxuan chuckled and said, "Of course, the dragons of the Western Paradise can also help you, or even the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas can lend you a hand."

"If that's not enough, Zhongshan Zhuyin would also be suitable, but these people are not easy for you to meet."

"Even if you could meet them, you have little connection with them, so why would they be willing to help you?"

Chu Danqing definitely couldn't provide what they wanted, so they wouldn't help him for no reason. The Dragon Clan had a chance before, but Chu Danqing didn't agree, so there wouldn't be a second chance.

"This..." Chu Danqing pondered why the Immortal Master Tongxuan would say such a thing.

Based on our interactions, the other party doesn't seem to be the type to incite others to do evil.

So what did the other party see through divination?
Just as he was about to ask, Tsurudouji returned.

"Master, the spring water has been brought back." Crane Boy, in his original form, entered carrying a gourd before transforming into human form.

He then presented the gourd to the Immortal Tongxuan.

The Immortal Master Tongxuan took the gourd, shook it in his hand, and then had the Crane Boy hand it to Chu Danqing.

"Honored guest, this gourd of spring water is just right for watering the lotus flowers to help them grow."

“Red lotus, white lotus root, and green lotus leaf—this is indeed a magnificent sight for the three religions, and it should not be left to decay,” said the Immortal Master Tongxuan.

"Thank you." Chu Danqing understood what the Immortal Master Tongxuan meant; it was meant to be used for the growth of the big flower.

After saying this, the Immortal Master Tongxuan added, "Mountain spring water can nourish, but this gourd can also absorb energy."

"Our distinguished guest will find this useful in the future."

Chu Danqing understood that this was the Immortal Master Tongxuan's way of helping him obtain the Primordial Qi.

"Alright, I understand." Chu Danqing didn't say anything like "it's impossible" or "it definitely won't be used."

In fact, given Bai Zhenniang's childish behavior and her desire to quickly report the favor, it's highly likely she'll cause a huge mess.

Otherwise, why would the Immortal Master Tongxuan have told him to go and retrieve it when the calamity was overwhelming?
-
Bai Zhenniang, hiding in the shadows, saw that Crane Boy had been called away, leaving only Deer Boy behind, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Fortunately, she had drunk the nectar given to her by the Golden Mother, so the Crane Boy did not notice.

Otherwise, if Crane Boy really notices her, she will surely die if the two fight.

This crane is the nemesis of snakes; she is definitely not someone she can fight against.

The purpose of my visit is to steal a rejuvenating herb.

As the saying goes, a day in heaven is a year on earth. Chu Danqing hadn't even spent a full day in heaven, but more than half a year had already passed on earth.

Not long ago, on the Double Fifth Festival, Xu Jingnian tricked her into drinking a cup of realgar wine, which revealed her true form.

Just as Chu Danqing had said, it scared Xu Jingnian so much that he died on the spot.

This made Bai Zhenniang cry quite a bit. Later, she remembered that the Great Master Ganlu had said that the Immortal Tongxuan had planted the Rejuvenating Herb.

So she secretly sneaked into Tianxin Cave, intending to steal the immortal herb to bring Xu Jingnian back to life.

'Without the crane attendant, only this deer attendant remains, who is naturally not my nemesis.'

"I've got it!" Bai Zhenniang had an idea.

She changed her clothes and appearance.

Then he walked out openly and honestly, cupped his hands in greeting to Lu Tongzi, and said, "Brother Dao, I pay my respects."

When Lu Tongzi saw Bai Zhenniang, he looked her up and down but couldn't tell which family's boy she was, so he could only reply, "Greetings, may I ask which family's envoy you are, fellow Daoist?"

Those who can come to Tianxin Cave are mostly disciples, attendants, and mounts of immortals and gods; demons and monsters would never dare to come.

Furthermore, with Deer Boy's keen eyesight, how could he not see demons and monsters?

Bai Zhenniang was naturally a demon, but she had cultivated the righteous path for many years in the Peach Garden and had also drunk the nectar.

So it's fair to say he's a half-immortal, having long since shed his demonic aura.

It's normal that you can't tell from the deer paw.

"I am the yellow-robed attendant under the tutelage of Patriarch Chunyang," Bai Zhenniang said. "Hundreds of years ago, I met you, my fellow Daoist, at Yaochi."

This statement is half true and half false. Hundreds of years ago, there was indeed a banquet at Yaochi. Back then, Fairy Ruizhi sent her to pick a lot of peaches to send over.

The yellow-clad boy's attire was also genuine; I had seen the yellow-clad boy beside Patriarch Chunyang come to play with Fairy Ruizhi years ago.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tongzi believed him more and immediately asked, "Please forgive me, I failed to recognize you, fellow Daoist."

He knew about it, but he didn't really remember the person.

Then he asked, "May I ask what brings you here today?"

People don't visit the Three Treasures Hall without a reason; the other party must have something to say to come to Tianxin Cave.

Bai Zhenniang had been waiting for him to say this, and immediately replied, "I am acting on my master's orders to discuss the Yaochi Gathering again."

"Please inform the Immortal Elder that we are inviting the Holy Mother and all the immortals to a meeting."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tongzi was also puzzled. The Yaochi Grand Gathering had only been a few hundred years ago, so why was it about to start again?

Despite his doubts, he replied, "Alright, please wait here for a moment, brother. The master is entertaining distinguished guests. I'll be right back."

With that, he got up to report.

After seeing Lu Tongzi leave, Bai Zhenniang glanced around and quickly found the Ganoderma lucidum-shaped Rejuvenating Herb.

After carefully picking it completely, I put it into the brocade box.

Having succeeded, he disregarded everything else and immediately rode a cloud down to the mortal realm to leave.

"Thank goodness, it's only been three days since I left."

After descending to the mortal realm, Bai Zhenniang calculated the time and breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that if she came back too late, Xu Jingnian would have missed his seventh day memorial service.

At that point, even if one wanted to be resurrected, it would be impossible.
