Breaking the Limits and Eliminating Illusions

Unfortunately, Chu Danqing only has one piece. Apart from the name, the effects of the set are all questionable.

"The name of this equipment is so targeted; it's practically made to counter the Four Kings and Eight Dukes." Chu Danqing's eyes narrowed.

Especially the suffixes on the equipment; he remembered that there was a deity named Su Shang Wang in the Four Kings and Eight Kilometers.

"To be reduced to this level, could they be remnants of the previous dynasty?" Chu Danqing muttered.

Otherwise, it would be unlikely that the Four Kings and Eight Dukes would be referred to as the Four Domestic Animals and Eight Sacrifices.

"This thing is so cheap it's almost unbearable to look at," Chu Danqing sighed. "Nobody would want it even if you tried to sell it."

The Four Kings and Eight Dukes exist only in this trial world; they don't exist in other trial worlds.

Once Chu Danqing brought it back to the paradise, it had no use other than as a decoration.

As for whether collecting the complete set might bring about a qualitative change?

This is a twelve-piece set. If Chu Danqing wants it, he can only get it by calling Yang Qianyuan over to perform a divination.

Another possibility is that all twelve pieces are designed for the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.

Even if you manage to collect them all, it will only be a set of exquisite ornaments.

You can get a glimpse of its effects just from the name of the equipment, especially if there is no equipment requirement.

As we all know, the higher the equipment requirements, the better the quality of the equipment itself.

Low demand either indicates a problem with the product itself or has extremely negative effects.

The Four Domestic Animals and Eight Sacrificial Animals Pearl and Plain Merchant are clearly the former.

"Only effect 1 is somewhat useful now, but once the superposition feature comes out, it means that the shielding strength is not high."

"To achieve the full effect, it must be added in sync with the other four livestock beads," Chu Danqing said softly. "Use it for now; if it doesn't work, you can keep it as a delicate little piece of junk."

After Chu Danqing finished speaking, she began her daily cultivation.

The Five Auspicious Symbols image has been consistently online.

Reviewing and learning new basic skills is done while traveling each day.

Multitasking is a piece of cake for Chu Danqing now.

As for whether the greasy-faced man might come back? That's for sure, it's just a matter of when he'll realize his things are missing.

It's impossible to return it. If the other party dares to ask for it, Chu Danqing will have to trick him again to see if he's a remnant of the previous dynasty.

If so, it might trigger some random tasks to earn some Paradise Points.

As for whether it is or not, we'll see. The other party is probably not a good person either. Chu Danqing is just being double-crossed, so he doesn't feel any psychological pressure.

How to respond depends on the other party's actions and attitude.

Hua Die walked for about three miles before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

“That red-haired man really intended to kill me.”

"If I hadn't escaped quickly, I'd probably be dead in front of the temple by now."

"I'll get back to the Eastern Capital and report to the Prince, then I'll explain things to you," Hua Die said, reaching into her bosom to touch herself.

However, his expression froze, for the spot where he had hidden his treasure was now completely empty.

"Where are my things?!" Hua Die's face showed horror.

If you fail to steal it, it's because you're not good enough; you can always send someone else.

But he stole it and then lost it; that prince would tear him apart alive.

"Calm down, calm down." Hua Die forced herself to calm down and then began to recall.

After stealing the item, he was constantly pursued by a constable from the government office, but he managed to escape thanks to the protection of Yun Xianjun.

Guoyun Xianjun is neither a public deity nor a household deity, but rather a wild god supported by certain shady industries.

They were suppressed by the imperial court, but due to some selfish reasons, these wild gods, though unable to cause any real trouble, were not eliminated either.

Suppressing is one thing, using is another; it doesn't affect anything.

"That red-haired man!" In the end, Hua Die locked onto her target.

Although he had no direct evidence to point to it, there had been no surprises anywhere except at that abandoned river temple.

Since it was a precious treasure, he naturally had to store it properly.

Even with external impact, it wouldn't fall.

It is only possible for something to be lost if an outsider steals it.

"If I just hurry back now," Hua Die was certain that there was a very high probability that she would encounter that constable.

The head constable was named Qiao Xun, and he was quite famous within the prefecture. Moreover, because he was directly under the inner court, he was able to mobilize the power of the twelve deities, namely the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.

These thieves and bandits, when they met each other, were like mice before a cat. Thinking of this, I felt a pang of unease.

"If I had known that serving the prince would be so difficult, I would have preferred to continue being that philandering thief," Hua Die said helplessly.

Now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back to look for it.

If he escapes, the prince will then learn that the pearl has been stolen.

Then his life is in danger.

How could a mere flower thief compare to a prince of the Zhang Dynasty?

He ruined the prince's grand plan; even nine heads wouldn't be enough to pay for it.

On the way back to the River God Temple, Hua Die was also thinking about how to retrieve it.

A head-on confrontation is definitely not going to work; that red-haired man could easily pick him up and chop him up like firewood.

Fortunately, he was originally a womanizer; he didn't have many respectable methods, but he had plenty of underhanded tricks up his sleeve.

A whole host of methods involving sleeping pills and incense came to mind.

"Hehe, even that Qiao Xun, if he encountered my bewitching technique, would be lying on the ground seeing stars."

His skill wasn't just due to his own efforts; he also received help from the Immortal Lord Yun.

Even a flower thief is still a thief, so naturally he falls within the scope of the duties of the Immortal Lord Guoyun.

The main problem is that these kinds of wild gods have difficulty surviving and worship various minor and miscellaneous gods, so it's better to just choose a more useful one.

Those unregulated black market businesses simply cannot withstand the crackdown by the imperial court.

Maybe after just one blow, he won't be able to take it and will die.

This kind of thing has happened before, and even now there are still some people who don't want to share a deity with others, so they directly believe in one particular one.

Da Bao opened his eyes immediately and slowly got up.

"Xiao Chu, the person's back again." Da Bao said to Chu Danqing, "Should we kill them?"

"Is the malice really that great?" Chu Danqing asked.

“Very big.” After saying that, Da Bao paused for a moment and then said, “It will cost you and me our lives.”

“That makes sense.” Chu Danqing wasn’t surprised. “Then go and bring the person here to see what’s going on. Make sure they’re alive.”

Upon hearing Chu Danqing's words, Da Bao left the River God Temple without saying a word.

In the darkness, he transformed into a blood-red shadow, using his incredible speed combined with his senses and smell to quickly locate Hua Die, who was rushing towards the River God Temple.

Before Hua Die could even react, she was thrown to the ground, completely disoriented.

When he came to his senses, he felt dizzy and lightheaded. When he opened his eyes, all he saw was the starry night sky.

Before he could even react to what was happening, a hideous face appeared in his field of vision.

It was the red-haired giant from the river god temple.

This completely panicked Hua Die.

He hadn't even had a chance to make a move yet, how come the other party struck first?

Could it be that there's something wrong with that precious pearl?
Just as he was thinking this, he forced a smile and tried to speak.

But he found that the other person reached out and grabbed his collar, lifting him up.

"Hero, hero!" Hua Die winced in pain as she was grabbed.

The fall just now was quite forceful, and this latest incident will naturally have an impact on him.

Da Bao completely ignored what the other person said and picked him up and rushed back.

The butterfly was both surprised and frightened by the speed.

Which god does this red-haired man worship? How can he be so powerful?

Before he could even ask, he had already returned to the river god temple.

Just as Hua Die was about to speak, she was suddenly thrown to the ground.

"You've already left, why are you coming back?" Chu Danqing asked, watching Hua Die get up.

Hua Die looked up and saw Chu Danqing's calm expression.

I, Hua Die, originally intended to find an excuse to get by and save my life first.

However, before he could finish speaking, Chu Danqing took out the precious pearl he had been longing for.

"It's to find it, isn't it?" Chu Danqing casually tossed the pearl aside and said softly.

This made Hua Die's heart tighten with the up-and-down beating of the pearl.

“That’s right, this is my family heirloom.” Hua Die said, trying to remain calm. “It really was lost here. Please, sir, return it to me.”

Of those two sentences he said, only the part about returning it to him was true; the rest were all lies.

Chu Danqing immediately realized the other party was lying.

“You should know what it is,” Chu Danqing said, not answering Hua Die’s question. “I hope you can tell me the truth.”

Hua Die swallowed hard. He didn't recognize the pearl, nor did he know what it was.

"Aren't you going to tell me?" Chu Danqing could tell that the other person didn't really know him, but someone must have commissioned him.

Unfortunately, he is human, so it's not appropriate to use the same methods used against demons and monsters to deal with him.

However, it can put some pressure on him and make him confess honestly.

“There’s a set of these things called the Four Animals and Eight Livestock Beads.” When Chu Danqing said this, Hua Die was also a little puzzled.

"And this one is called Su Shang."

As soon as she said it, Hua Die looked nervous, her pupils contracted, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
