Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 499 Sword Manual with Spirit Elixir

On the way down the mountain, Chu Danqing discovered that the trial mission had changed.

The progress, which was originally 0/1, has somehow become 0.1/1 (Dragon Bone).

Chu Danqing quickly reviewed the reasons in his mind.

He definitely didn't take anything from Duan Baiyu.

The Three Talents and Six Harmonies Pill is not the case either; the 0.1 increase only occurred after leaving the Three Talents Sect's territory.

It wasn't obtained when acquiring resources.

If you remove the tangible things, then it's just an ethereal reputation.

If Chu Danqing hadn't interfered, Duan Baiyu would definitely have cultivated the Heavenly Mirror Divine Skill in order to survive.

After successfully leaving, they will inevitably clash with the Three Talents Sect again.

Although it won't achieve the same overwhelming victory as Chu Danqing, it will still bring great fame.

This is equivalent to Chu Danqing cutting off the other party's path to fame.

'So the dragon bone is reputation?' Chu Danqing was certain of this.

Thinking about this, Chu Danqing finally understood why Yang Qianyuan had asked her to choose the dragon bone.

Given Duan Baiyu's mindset, he most likely has no intention of becoming famous.

But then I thought, it wasn't just about reputation, but something more complex.

Chu Danqing stopped thinking about things he couldn't understand and instead focused his attention on the newly acquired Three Talents Sword Manual and Three Talents Six Harmonies Pill.

[Skill Book: Three Talents Sword Manual]

[Type: Inherited Skills]

【Quality: Brilliant】

[Effect: Upon use, you will gain the inheritance of the Three Talents Sword Manual. Your energy value will be replaced with Martial Aspect Value. You can choose one of three sword-type Martial Aspects, and as your level increases, the two unselected sword-type Martial Aspects will be unlocked and fused into the Three Talents Sword Aspects.]

[Learning Requirements: 30 points in Constitution, 50 points in Spirit, Mastery Level LV.MAX in True Qi-related skills, Mastery Level LV.MAX in Melee Combat, Mastery Level LV.MAX in Swordsmanship, and possess Martial Arts Aptitude/Comprehension Talent]

It's a technique similar to the Heavenly Mirror Divine Skill, but it doesn't require soul strength and instead requires swordsmanship proficiency.

In this trial world, inherited skills that reach the Brilliant level will all have a similar effect of being reshaped and grown later.

However, the Three Talents Sword Manual is clearly inferior to the Heavenly Mirror Divine Skill.

Then, Chu Danqing turned his attention to the Three Talents and Six Harmonies Pill.

【Three Talents and Six Harmonies Elixir】

[Type: consumables]

【Quality: Brilliant】

[Effect 1: Health +10000]

[Effect 2: Mana +10000]

[Effect 3: Accumulate 500000 points of medicinal power in the body. After refining, it can improve the progress of inheritance skills.]

[Effect 4: Increases the refining efficiency of martial arts and sword-related inherited skills by 500%]

[Effect 5: While the medicine is active, health will automatically be consumed to restore it as it decreases]

[Effect 6: If the medicine's potency exceeds 80%, the user enters a near-death state. Consuming all remaining potency instantly restores all health and increases martial arts swordsmanship aptitude and comprehension by 1.]

Chu Danqing looked at the pill, wondering whether to eat it or sell it.

For Chu Danqing, its main purpose is to increase the maximum health and mana.

The remaining four effects are really useless to him.

Because he has an inexhaustible supply of medicinal power from the three elixirs and hundreds of herbs in his body.

As for giving it to Da Bao and the others, that would be a bit of a waste.

The main reason is that Chu Danqing used the cost price to cultivate Da Bao, but if this pill were sold, it would be at the retail price.

Selling it to apostles who practice swordsmanship can increase its value several times over, especially since it has effect 6.

The only value of this pill is that it increases one's aptitude and comprehension in martial arts swordsmanship by 1.

Unfortunately, Guo Ming is a cultivator; if it were just about swordsmanship aptitude and comprehension, he would have been given the skill directly.

He has no choice but to accept the limitations.

But that's normal, since it was made by the Sancai Sect themselves.

In a martial arts-themed trial world, the pills refined must conform to the martial arts genre.

After the two descended the mountain, Chu Danqing asked, "Young Master Duan, where do you plan to go next?"

"It's too dangerous outside, I'm planning to go home," Duan Baiyu said.

This trip to enjoy the scenery turned into such a terrible ordeal that almost cost him his life.

He's not stupid; if he knew it was dangerous, he would have gone home.

"Where do you live? If it's nearby, we can give you a ride home on our way," Chu Danqing said.

Ancient times were different from modern times; the wilds were infested with wolves, tigers, leopards, and all sorts of bandits and thieves.

Duan Baiyu is truly lucky to have made it to Zijin Mountain alive.

"There's no need to trouble you two. The journey is long and it would be too much to delay your business." Duan Baiyu didn't want to cause Chu Danqing any trouble, so he added, "I am already extremely grateful that you two helped me get revenge."

"How can we ask you two to escort us again?"

Chu Danqing said, "Why say such things? It's rare that I find you agreeable."

"Also, we don't really have anything to do, so we can help you out."

What he said was true, after all, Chu Danqing's task was still on Duan Baiyu's shoulders.

"Just think of it as a trip. If you really feel bad, treat us siblings well when we get to your home." "Judging from your appearance, your family must be well-off. I don't think you'd be stingy," Chu Danqing teased.

Upon hearing this, Duan Baiyu smiled and agreed, "I would be delighted. It is an honor for Brother Chu and Sister Li to visit us."

He knew Chu Danqing was just being polite, but he didn't take it as mere politeness; he genuinely intended to treat her with respect.

"It's just a bit far. I live in Yeyu, it'll take at least a month to get there," Duan Baiyu said.

"Yeyu? The capital of Nanzhao?" Chu Danqing asked.

"That's right," Duan Baiyu confirmed.

"That's indeed a bit far. You're incredibly lucky to have come all this way for fun," Chu Danqing couldn't help but remark, then said, "Since it's so far, why don't we..."

"No, no, no." Li Qingying quickly interrupted, "Brother Chu, we're not in a hurry, we can take our time."

She immediately guessed how Chu Danqing was going to get there, and she didn't want to ride the clouds anymore.

She didn't want to experience that feeling of the clouds disintegrating halfway through the flight a second time.

Chu Danqing glanced at the three-month time requirement of the trial mission and realized that only one day had passed, so she agreed.

"Alright, let's take a carriage." Chu Danqing didn't insist.

Duan Baiyu was somewhat puzzled; he couldn't quite understand why Li Qingying would say such a thing.

“Okay, let’s take a carriage.” Li Qingying added, “We’ll take a normal carriage.”

"Is there anything wrong with the carriage?" Duan Baiyu asked curiously as he interjected.

“Yes, Brother Chu’s horse settled down for two days, and it ran like lightning.” Li Qingying recalled with lingering fear: “It wasn’t that it ran too fast, it was that it flew too low.”

Upon hearing this, Duan Baiyu was astonished to find such fine horses; no wonder he could summon heavy cavalry so easily.

Such a fine horse would be priceless in any country, yet Chu Danqing used it to pull a carriage.

He had only ever seen Chu Danqing use such luxurious things since he was born.

Li Qingying had actually guessed that the horse pulling the cart was likely the warhorse of those heavy cavalrymen from before.

After discussion, Chu Danqing purchased a carriage nearby, and the group set off as usual.

On the way, Chu Danqing also took the opportunity to try to find out about Duan Baiyu's family background and identity, but Duan Baiyu hesitated and refused to say.

They only said that you would know when you arrived in Yeyu.

Chu Danqing didn't press the matter further.

Ultimately, Chu Danqing had ulterior motives, which is why she sent him home.

It's a mutual situation if the other party conceals something.

However, Li Qingying knew perfectly well what was going on, and took the opportunity to whisper to Chu Danqing, "The Duan surname is the royal surname of the Nanzhao Kingdom."

"With such a beautiful appearance, this piece of white jade must at least be a member of the royal family."

"If he were any longer, he might not be a prince or a crown prince."

"I'm afraid this jade dragon is really a dragon."

Chu Danqing simply kept these words in mind.

Li Qingying's guess was reasonable; otherwise, how could the other party dare to say that going home would be fine?

Because they were royalty, even if the Three Talents Sect came after them, it would ultimately come to nothing.

"I understand, so don't go spreading rumors," Chu Danqing instructed, then asked, "Have you read the Three Talents Sword Manual?"

"The Three Talents Sect's signature technique? I haven't seen it before, why?" Li Qingying suspected that Chu Danqing had the Three Talents Sword Manual, because he had used the same tone when he asked her if she wanted to see the Great Snow Mountain Divine Palm last time.

"Here, borrow it to look at, return it to me when you're done." Chu Danqing casually took it out of her storage space and handed it to the other person.

"Brother Chu, where did you come from?" Li Qingying knew that Chu Danqing had always been by her side and had never left. How could he possibly have stolen this martial arts manual from the Sancai Sect?

"Oh, I found it," Chu Danqing replied perfunctorily.

"Alright." Li Qingying didn't press further; Chu Danqing's attitude clearly indicated he didn't want to answer.

It would be impolite for her to ask again.

Giving her this sect's signature martial arts manual so casually already shows great sincerity.

"Brother Chu, I think it's getting late. Shouldn't we set up camp?" Duan Baiyu said, glancing at the sky after relieving himself.

With no village or shop in sight, we had no choice but to spend the night in the wilderness.

"Okay, what do you want to eat tonight?" Chu Danqing asked as she took out a temporary tent and began setting it up.

Li Qingying came over and skillfully began to set it up.

Duan Baiyu also helped, but because he had never done it before, he seemed very clumsy.

"I want to eat!" Li Qingying immediately rattled off a list of dishes.

Upon hearing this, Duan Baiyu quickly said, "Sister Li, we're in the middle of nowhere, please don't make things difficult for Brother Chu."

"Can you finish all this by yourself? Just two dishes, let Brother Duan order the other two, and Da Bao will order the other two, plus a soup." Chu Danqing immediately refused.

"Huh?" Duan Baiyu was a little confused. This actually exists?
"However, there are only some home-style dishes; there are no shark fin or abalone dishes," Chu Danqing added.

"Then...wouldn't that be too much trouble for Brother Chu?" This was the first time Duan Baiyu had encountered such a good thing in the wilderness.

"It's no trouble at all, they're all pre-made, but they're still hot, almost like they just came out of the pot," Chu Danqing said.

"Li Mei'er has ordered a lot of meat and fish, so how about two vegetarian dishes to help her relax?" Duan Baiyu didn't dare to order anything too extravagant.

“Okay, this is a good combination of meat and vegetables for nutrition.” Chu Danqing said, and quickened his pace in setting up the temporary camp.

After the setup was completed, it got dark before we knew it.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing took out six dishes and a soup from her storage space.
