Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 574 Extra: The First Cross-Border Trade

"Hurry up, don't delay me!" Xiong Zhigang shouted. "This cross-world trade was hard-won, don't cause any trouble!"

Xiong Zhigang led his men to escort a large quantity of military equipment and weaponry into the world where Yang Qianyuan was located.

Yang Qianyuan and his group had also prepared the resources for the trade well in advance: a large number of battle spirit beasts and corresponding spirit beast talismans.

After the meeting, his subordinates methodically arranged the inventory and handover of the items.

"After this, we'll have to wait a while before we can trade again," Yang Qianyuan said softly. "Brother Chu has become too strong too quickly."

"If it weren't for Bu Qingyun, the two of us would have been a burden."

Chu Danqing needs to undergo a rank assessment. If he succeeds, he will become a 3rd-rank dimensional apostle.

There are conditions to using Bu Qingyun's trade.

The world they live in must be of the same level as Chu Danqing, and they can only trade with allies of worlds of the same level.

Their world had only recently become a Tier 2 world and couldn't keep up with Chu Danqing's progress at all.

Therefore, once Chu Danqing advances, the trade stagnation will last at least a year.

"It's alright, productivity will continue to skyrocket, and the rate of improvement will increase accordingly." Kumashiro knew this, of course.

Therefore, he attached great importance to this trade.

"That's you, Commander Xiong," Yang Qianyuan said with a wry smile. "This time, we'll have to trouble Commander Xiong for help again."

"As you know, there are still a bunch of dynastic states around me that I haven't been able to deal with."

From the moment Yang Qianyuan became emperor, the entire dynasty was in a state of constant internal and external troubles.

In recent days, he has regained power and eliminated internal troubles.

However, external threats were always present, but because he gradually adjusted the structure of the entire dynasty and had a large amount of productive capacity to support it, he was able to prevent external threats from invading.

Internal troubles can be resolved through political means such as imperial tactics, but the best way to deal with external threats is through force.

In Yang Qianyuan's view, these barbarians around him were afraid of power but not of virtue.

He excels in politics, but military affairs are his weakness.

Fortunately, Kumashibako doesn't need to spend any amusement park points this time, so I'll ask him to help me handle things.

“Perfect, let’s switch.” Xiong Zhigang’s face also showed helplessness: “You know I’m good at military strategy.”

"After ascending the throne, although the political situation was not a complete mess, there were still quite a few problems."

"I will help you deal with external threats, Qian Yuan, and you will help me resolve internal problems."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qianyuan immediately nodded: "Alright, let's practice our skills."

"When the time comes, we'll have to work together to deal with Qingying."

At this point, Yang Qianyuan couldn't help but smile.

At least they both have their own special skills, but Li Qingying doesn't.

They just lay flat the whole time and didn't do any work.

"Wait, I remember Qingying was also participating in this transaction, right? Why didn't I see her come?" Yang Qianyuan suddenly remembered this.

Li Qingying's world was also at level 2, and the trade was arranged beforehand.

She said she was only barely qualified, but as long as the requirements were met, it would be fine.

"This is probably the first time they've crossed over into this field, so they might not be familiar with it," Yang Qianyuan said.

As for something going wrong? Impossible. The backup plan they left behind could function perfectly well even if you just tied a dog to it.

Li Qingying wasn't the type of person to act recklessly.

As they were talking, Li Qingying came over with her people.

"Qian Yuan, Xiong Jinglue, what are you talking about?" Li Qingying asked curiously.

Empress Dowager Xilong followed beside her, her expression full of vigilance.

"Why aren't you here yet?" Xiong Zhigang replied, then glanced behind him.

There was only one horse-drawn carriage.

"You only brought this much?" Xiong Zhigang asked with some doubt.

“We don’t have any local specialties,” Li Qingying said resentfully. “Qian Yuan has spirit beasts, and Xiong Jinglue has military equipment.”

“We’re all martial arts practitioners. Even if we brought you the techniques, you wouldn’t be able to learn them.”

"The big-ticket drugs are hard to come by, these are all we have."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qianyuan comforted him, saying, "It's alright. Once productivity increases, you can sell the large medicine to Xiong Jinglue."

"I'll have him exchange it for military equipment and weapons for you then."

He saw the predicament of Li Qingying's world, so he gave her an idea.

It must be said that the medicine from the other world is indeed very useful, but it cannot be mass-produced due to limitations in production capacity.

But once mass production begins, it will definitely be able to supply all allied worlds.

"Oh, right, this is the longevity pill you wanted, Qingying." Yang Qianyuan said, handing a box of pills to Li Qingying: "Brother Guo gave it to me back then, so here you go since you want it."

As Li Qingying mentioned before, it was originally supposed to be given by Guo Ming.

But Yang Qianyuan stopped him; he still had some low-quality ones left that he could use.

Moreover, by trading, Chu Danqing doesn't need to spend any Paradise Points; instead, the Paradise Points can be deducted from Chu Danqing's account.

This is truly a win-win situation.

Li Qingying accepted it immediately and said, "Thank you. I'll ask Brother Guo for something better when I reach level 3."

The best ones are naturally the three-flowered lotus seeds produced by the large-flowered variety.

As long as the effect is the same for items of the same rank, it will not be discounted; for items of a lower rank, the effect will be greatly enhanced.

As for higher ranks, the effect will definitely be reduced.

"That makes sense," Yang Qianyuan said with a smile. They had already discussed this beforehand, and the trade arrangements would focus on their own strengths.

The three of them are spirit beast, military equipment, and great medicine.

Guo Ming, on the other hand, is equipped with advanced, sophisticated equipment.

It was used to arm their middle and high-ranking personnel.

Otherwise, the resources available in Guo Ming's world would easily overshadow the specialties of Li Qingying's world.

The trial world where the Cat Goddess resides is of a higher level and is not currently under consideration, so the output of her world has not yet been determined.

That would create a vicious cycle in the business, so the best solution is for everyone to choose one option as the transaction.

This allows for better production, and because each entity has its own monopoly, it is guaranteed not to be controlled.

Monopolies are certainly not a good thing, but allies need shared interests to bind them together.

"Let's hurry up, I have something to do." Li Qingying urged, "Cat just practiced a combo with me and is thinking of devouring another Nine Pillar God."

"Will it work?" Yang Qianyuan asked. "Will I reach level 6 after swallowing it?"

However, Li Qingying shook her head: "No, the complete Nine Pillar Gods are probably only at the peak of the 5th rank."

"It's not even as good as the cat after it was aged by the Eye of Time."

"I wonder how many years the cat was aged back then, that it could still be so strong."

Li Qingying also felt it was a pity that such a good thing happened in the arena, but she ended up taking nothing with her.

If this actually happened in real life, Chu Danqing would be incredibly lucky to survive.

It's simply a matter of everyone being resurrected from the Golden Scale Pool; no matter how you look at it, there's no loss.

However, Li Qingying knew that Chu Danqing would definitely not want to do that.

After all, the Eye of Time is too bizarre.

“The limitations of the cat are still too great.” Xiong Zhigang sighed, then said, “If you’re so eager to help the cat, then you should send someone to choose first.”

"We'll talk about the accounts later."

This little bit of stuff is far less significant to the three of them than the Cat Goddess's power boost.

Moreover, the next one is a ranking assessment, and the stronger the Cat Goddess is, the more benefits Chu Danqing can gain.

Now, they are no longer content with simply passing, but are considering how to improve.

“That’s right. The more you help the cat improve its strength, the easier it will be for me to do the Heavenly Secrets Calculation next time.” Yang Qianyuan replied, and then instructed his men to deal with Li Qingying first.

“Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Li Qingying didn’t stand on ceremony with them either: “Next time my productivity improves, I’ll find a way to get you more medicine.”

"Haha, then I'll be waiting for your good news, Qingying," Xiong Zhigang said immediately.

If Li Qingying's medicine can be mass-produced, he will be the biggest beneficiary.

After all, he is a legion-based player, with a large number of troops under his command, and each person and horse needs resources to improve their strength.

Regardless of the circumstances, he is undoubtedly the biggest customer for the major medicines produced in Li Qingying's world.

As for other allies, the only one I'd guess is the Goddess of Cats.

After all, He has believers who need to be nurtured, but in the early stages, He probably won't need too many.

The handover of Li Qingying's belongings was completed quickly, and the accounts were put up for future reference.

As for the business tax, it will be deducted by the park after the transaction is completed.

"Qingying, what are the chances that this longevity pill is genuine?" Empress Dowager Xilong asked impatiently.

Despite her youthful appearance, she is actually quite old. If it weren't for her profound martial arts skills and the support of her martial arts prowess, she would have been old and frail long ago.

“It’s true, but the increase in lifespan varies from person to person,” Li Qingying said calmly. “Grandma, you should be able to increase your lifespan by about thirty years.”

"As for my father and mother, there will be more."

The effectiveness of Guo's Longevity Pill depends on individual constitution.

The higher the physique, the worse the effect; it also needs to be between 30 and 60 points.

Because of these restrictions, only Yang Qianyuan is using it, and even he won't be able to use it anymore.

As Chu Danqing invested resources in them, their strength also increased.

Yang Qianyuan was a genius, and although his cultivation progress was not as good as Xiong Zhigang's, it was still advancing by leaps and bounds.

Once Chu Danqing reaches level 3, they too will be able to break through to level 3 within one or two trial missions.

It should be noted that Yang Qianyuan and the others have had much more time to cultivate than Chu Danqing. As long as resources are not an issue, their strength will be able to keep up with Chu Danqing's.

"Grandma, would you like one first?" Li Qingying asked slyly.

Seeing Li Qingying's attitude, Empress Dowager Xilong smiled and said, "Of course, Qingying, you said there's no problem."

As he spoke, he took a pill from Guo's Longevity Pill and swallowed it.

The pill was instantly refined by true qi upon entering the stomach, transforming into medicinal power that flowed to the limbs and bones.

Empress Dowager Xilong paused, and the true energy within her body began to surge and rise continuously.

She felt young again; her body transformed from stagnant water back into a vibrant spring, bringing her strength back to its peak.

"It's true, I look at least twenty years younger," Empress Dowager Xilong said softly.

“Grandma, you’ve not become twenty years younger, you’ve gained twenty years of lifespan,” Li Qingying explained. “This elixir cannot reverse aging.”

"However, it does have a conditioning effect, which is why you had such a misconception, Grandma."

Empress Dowager Xilong, however, did not care at all whether she was twenty years younger or had twenty years more lifespan; to her, it was all the same.

"After you return, I will instruct your parents and elder brother to assist you in governing properly and not to have any other ideas," said Empress Dowager Xilong.

She now feels that Xilong has a better future under Li Qingying's control.

At least we don't have to worry about future generations producing a tyrannical ruler.
