Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

At the end of the banquet in Chapter 458, the Immortal Elder declined the invitation.
The crane's beak almost struck down, and the crane boy turned to look at Chu Danqing.

"Distinguished guest? Did the master issue an imperial edict?" Crane Boy knew that Chu Danqing's strength was definitely not enough to descend to the mortal realm.

Therefore, the only one who could have sent him was the Immortal Master Tongxuan.

"The senior said that this Rejuvenating Herb has already been used to face the calamity, and we must not cause any more bloodshed," Chu Danqing replied truthfully.

After saying that, he took out the elixir given to him by the Immortal Tongxuan and gave it to Bai Zhenniang.

Bai Zhenniang was already on the verge of death. Even if He Tongzi hadn't killed her, she would have certainly died without treatment.

After taking this elixir, all of Bai Zhenniang's injuries were instantly healed.

After realizing that Tsurudoshi had let go of him, he curled up in a ball in fright.

"Hmph, you got off easy." Crane Boy didn't continue; he still listened to what the Mysterious Immortal Elder said.

Bai Zhenniang looked at Chu Danqing in surprise. She knew that Chu Danqing had saved her, but she did not expect that Chu Danqing had such strong connections.

It turns out they even know Xuanxian Weng.

"Bai Zhenniang, the Immortal Master Tongxuan also asked me to give you a word of warning." Chu Danqing relayed the warning to Bai Zhenniang.

That concludes the matter.

"Young Master Chu, please beg forgiveness on my behalf for the Immortal Elder," Bai Zhenniang replied, then said, "He has been critically ill for many years and cannot be delayed any longer. I will take my leave first."

After Bai Zhenniang finished speaking, she rode away on a cloud without paying any attention.

It's unclear whether they were afraid of Crane Boy and dared not linger, or whether Xu Jingnian had truly encountered an accident.

Chu Danqing was unaware of the difference between a day in heaven and a year on earth, so she only thought that Xu Jingnian was a really unlucky guy who was so sick that even a little bit of diarrhea from the plague demon could kill him.

"The master is so magnanimous, yet he doesn't even receive a word of thanks for showing kindness to such a monster," Crane Boy said indignantly.

His impression of Bai Zhenniang was naturally extremely poor.

A liar, a thief, and an assaulter—how can that leave a good impression?

Not to mention her previous attempts to falsely accuse and slander other gods and immortals; who knows, when she returns this time, she might even use her master's name as a pretext.

"Your seniors are very insightful and far-sighted; there is still much for you to learn from them." Chu Danqing replied, "You must not only look at the surface but also miss the tip of the iceberg."

Hearing Chu Danqing say this, Crane Boy also felt that it made sense: "What you say is very true, my understanding is too limited."

I can't compare to my master in any way, so listening to him is definitely the right thing to do.

"I suppose beating her up was a way of avenging my junior brother. Since the master said we shouldn't kill her, there must be a reason."

"Is our honored guest going down to the mortal realm or returning to the banquet?" Crane Boy asked.

Chu Danqing replied, "The senior told me to go back."

“Perfect timing, I also need to go back and apologize to the master.” Crane Boy said, flying over and scattering the immortal wind, carrying Chu Danqing to Tianxin Cave.

"I hope you will put in a good word for me later. Although the master loves us children, he is not lenient in disciplining us."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing replied, "Well, that depends on what you think, senior. I'm just a guest, so it's not appropriate for me to interfere."

Chu Danqing knew that they had only known each other for less than a day, and that she hadn't yet shown enough respect by pleading for their sake.

"Honorable guest, please do your best." Crane Boy understood what Chu Danqing meant, but still pleaded.

"I'll do my best," Chu Danqing said.

Before long, they flew back to Tianxin Cave.

Chu Danqing returned with Crane and Deer Boy, and he spoke first, saying, "The matter entrusted to you by Senior has been completed."

"Thank you for your trouble, esteemed guest." The Immortal Master Tongxuan then invited Chu Danqing to sit down: "Please sit down, esteemed guest."

"Crane Child, what are you still doing? Go and apply medicine to Deer Child."

"With such a big swelling, if we don't treat it soon, he'll be in pain for several more days."

As soon as he finished speaking, Crane Boy's face lit up with joy, and he quickly replied, "Yes, Master."

After saying that, he dragged the deer away.

The Immortal Master Tongxuan had no intention of pursuing the matter, which is why he sent Crane Boy and Deer Boy to apply the medicine.

"Please excuse my rudeness, esteemed guest." The Immortal Master Tongxuan steered the conversation back to Chu Danqing.

As soon as Chu Danqing left, a number of delicious delicacies were served on the table.

However, this time it's different from the Three Pills and Hundred Herbs; it's really just food, and doesn't have much of an effect.

The two chatted and ate, but the taste was really just average; it relied entirely on the good quality of the ingredients themselves.

In the Paradise Life Department, the apostles who specialize in cooking create food that is colorful, fragrant, and delicious. This is not only due to the ingredients themselves, but also to their profession, talent, skills, equipment, and superb culinary skills.

Then comes the materials.

Therefore, even ordinary ingredients can be made into delicious dishes.

But aside from the excellent ingredients, the culinary skills involved in these delicacies are really not that impressive.

It's probably because there aren't any professional chefs.

The Heavenly Heart Cave of the Immortal Tongxuan is very large, but apart from the four children, the dragon, the phoenix, the crane, and the deer, there are only rare and exotic beasts; there are no other people there.

So these foods were either cooked by spirits temporarily conjured up by the Immortal Master Tongxuan, or they were put together by the Immortal Master Tongxuan himself.

Chu Danqing prefers the former.

After we had eaten and drunk our fill, we had spent the whole day there.

The banquet was about to end. Seeing this, Chu Danqing spoke up, "I wonder if Senior has ever considered seeing a wider world?"

The Immortal Master Tongxuan was surprised that Chu Danqing would ask such a question, and he was also somewhat puzzled.

He knew the vastness of heaven and earth, but for a moment he did not know what a greater heaven and earth meant.

So he went straight to the point and asked, "What is this 'greater world' that you speak of, esteemed guest?"

"That's roughly it." Chu Danqing briefly summarized the Mountain and River Alliance, but it didn't involve anything related to Paradise, or if it did, it was just a variation.

These words sent a chill down the spine of the Immortal Tongxuan, who felt as if countless variables were unfolding before his eyes.

If I agree, I will never be free again, and I don't know what my future holds, let alone whether I will live or die.

But if it doesn't, everything remains the same.

It is because he is able to calculate Yin and Yang that he has this feeling.

If Chu Danqing were to say these things to He Tong and Lu Tong, although they would also have a clairvoyance, their perception would be less profound.

After much deliberation, the Immortal Master Tongxuan smiled and said, "Please forgive me, esteemed guest, but since I entered the Dao, I have always been one of tranquility and inaction."

"If it weren't for my four servants, I would never want to get involved in these mundane matters."

"Therefore, I am sorry that I cannot accept your invitation, esteemed guest."

The Immortal Master Tongxuan refused.

It wasn't because he was afraid of the unknown, but because there was no need to.

The world is so vast that he could not fully comprehend it, let alone witness the even more expansive world.

Being down-to-earth is the right way.

"Alright, I spoke too much." Chu Danqing was not surprised that the Immortal Tongxuan would refuse.

After all, agreeing would change one's future, and the Immortal Master Tongxuan, who was capable of divination, would naturally have reservations.

Unlike Yang Qianyuan, who came to the Heavenly Mystery Department with the intention of escaping, he readily accepted Chu Danqing's invitation.

The Immortal Master Tongxuan treated Chu Danqing differently only to repay a debt of gratitude, not because he had any real affection for him.

As for goodwill, there is definitely some, after all, he has high charm and an initial goodwill bonus.

This catalysis has led to so many benefits today.

"It's alright. Although I'm reluctant to go, I can certainly act as a go-between if you need it," said the Immortal Master Tongxuan.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing shook his head: "I hit it off with the Immortal Elder at first sight, which is why I had this idea. If it were someone else whose character I didn't know, it would be debatable."

Ability is not the first requirement for Chu Danqing; the first thing is that he likes the person.

Otherwise, even if you have the ability, it would be a real problem if you signed a contract with an ungrateful or selfish person.

Ability can be secondary; if you can't do anything else, you can just fight and kill like Guo Ming.

“That’s interesting. I’ll keep an eye out for you, esteemed guest. If there’s anyone who matches, I’ll have Crane Boy speak to you about it,” said the Immortal Master Tongxuan.

This time, Chu Danqing did not refuse, but simply said, "Then thank you very much, Immortal Elder."

Whether it will succeed or not, Chu Danqing could only say that she had done her best and left the rest to fate.

"It's getting late, I think it's time to take my leave." Chu Danqing knew the banquet was over, but staying any longer wouldn't hurt; he might even be able to shamelessly try and get some more benefits.

But doing so would be penny-wise and pound-foolish; it would be better to just leave.

After all, he had already secured most of the benefits, and asking for more would be trading favors for more benefits.

The main problem is that Chu Danqing doesn't have that thick skin.

Bai Zhenniang returned on a cloud and instructed Bi Qing'er to move the stove and medicine pot into the bedroom.

The Rejuvenating Herb is decocted with ginseng, lingzhi, and other medicinal herbs into a pot.

The aroma of the soup fills the room as it simmers, so enticing that it seems to penetrate right to your head, instantly refreshing you.

After decocting the medicine, Bai Zhenniang carefully poured a whole bowl of the elixir and instructed that the dregs be tied with red thread and hung in a windless, sunless place to dry.

She then took a soup spoon and fed Xu Jingnian the elixir little by little.

As the elixir enters the stomach, it reaches the Niwan Palace (upper dantian) and the Yongquan acupoint (lower dantian), opening up all the acupoints and pores throughout the body.

"Husband, wake up quickly!" Bai Zhenniang called out, and then saw the Heavenly Soul among Xu Jingnian's three souls return to his body.

After calling out ten times, the soul returned completely intact.

Then he called out again, and Xu Jingnian slowly woke up; this was a case of being reborn.

"Madam, where am I?" Xu Jingnian asked, his expression filled with confusion, but he felt a warm sensation all over his body.

However, his body appeared very stiff, like a piece of rotten wood.

Seeing this, Bai Zhenniang quickly massaged Xu Jingnian to improve blood circulation, allowing the medicinal power of the elixir to spread from his acupoints to his bones, flesh, and internal organs.

This allowed Xu Jingnian's body to gradually recover.

“Husband, you’re in the small building at home,” Bai Zhenniang quickly replied.

"Oh, so what happened to me?" Xu Jingnian couldn't quite remember.

"How would I know that you were unconscious for more than three days on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month?" Bai Zhenniang directly blamed Xu Jingnian for the incident.

Of course, he couldn't say directly that he was scared to death because he saw his true form.

If I were to actually say it, it would probably only create more trouble.
