Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 694 Floating Stone Pagoda
"Get out." Chu Danqing only said this one word.

He had thought that he would have no contact with Zhang Yaozuo, the Grand Tutor and father-in-law of the Emperor.

It's true that I killed the other person's son, but the other person didn't know.

If I really knew, I would have taken action immediately.

Clearly, unlike the Prince of Fanyang, the other party's power was merely a facade.

Completely dependent on imperial power, it was forced to be constrained in many areas.

"Your Excellency, the Grand Tutor has personally designated this residence. Do you wish to oppose the Grand Tutor?" The leading man, hearing Chu Danqing's attitude, directly confronted him.

If they slink back like this, they'll surely lose their lives.

Moreover, given the domineering tone of the other party, the Grand Tutor, who wields immense power in the court, would certainly not back down in the face of such an attitude.

"You only make a few hundred taels of silver a month? And you work so hard for Zhang Yaozuo." As soon as Chu Danqing finished speaking, Da Bao started to move.

The bloody chain of patricide slithered like a long snake, binding these people tightly.

Ordinary hemp ropes cannot bind them; each of them can mobilize divine power, giving them considerable strength.

"This...this..." Fan An was dumbfounded when he heard that the person who plotted to seize his house was the Grand Tutor of the court.

After Chu Danqing had subdued everyone, he finally snapped out of his daze.

I'm really scared now.

"Don't worry, these are just a few lackeys after your house. Zhang Yaozuo doesn't want your house," Chu Danqing reassured them, then looked at the group and said, "You agree, right?"

The men's expressions changed. They regretted not being greedy; now things had gotten out of hand.

"Wait, who are you?! How dare you spout nonsense!" the leading man shouted angrily.

However, Chu Danqing completely ignored them and simply said, "Lead the way."

Fan An hesitated upon hearing this, but seeing Chu Danqing's skill, he dared not be negligent.

He could only lead the way, taking Chu Danqing to the East Courtyard.

"Once you have the goods, take the gold, silver and valuables and leave the city immediately, and get out of Dongdu Prefecture as soon as possible."

"Zhang Yaozuo may not care about these things, but these lackeys are obviously no good."

"To avoid getting entangled again," Chu Danqing advised.

Upon hearing this, Fan An nodded bitterly.

This time, we really have to thank Chu Danqing for being there.

If it weren't for him, these people would have been in grave danger if they had come to their door again today.

You could tell from their attitude when they arrived that they were clearly there to cause trouble.

No matter how much he tries to endure it, something bad is bound to happen.

If they stay in Dongdu Prefecture any longer, they will either die or be injured.

After turning left and right, we arrived at a secluded corner of the east courtyard of the house.

The first thing you see is a shrine.

In the center of the shrine stood a rough stone tower; to be honest, it was worn out terribly.

If you don't look closely, it doesn't look like a stone tower at all; it looks more like a stone pillar.

However, it provides the same information as identity memory.

"Is this the item left by my benefactor's ancestors?" Fan An hurriedly asked.

Chu Danqing nodded: "It should be it."

Although he hadn't checked the panel yet, he could sense that this was indeed a piece of equipment.

However, their situation is probably not very good.

In other words, its durability is too low.

Furthermore, the equipment's effectiveness may be compromised due to excessive damage.

Chu Danqing never expected that the opportunity would turn out this way.

Nine times out of ten, it's a loss.

This is normal, after all, it's an opportunity inherent in this trial world itself, not a gift from the Paradise.

Therefore, it depends on one's identity. If Chu Danqing's identity were different, then the opportunity would definitely change.

He reached out and took it down, and its attribute panel appeared.

Jiuhua Pagoda

[Type: Equipment/Magic Item]

[Quality: Brilliance]

[Durability: 7/100]

【A Smile Through a Flower (Active): Consumes 1 year of lifespan and 90% of mana to perform an enhancement on a target deity of faith, randomly increasing one of their bloodline, talent, skills, or five-dimensional attributes. Cooldown: 1 month】

[Transcendence (Active): Consumes 10 points of five-dimensional attributes to enhance the potential and foundation of a target deity of faith once. Cooldown: 1 year.]

[Equipment requirements: None]

(Note: This is a level ??? growth equipment left behind by a ???-rank apostle. Due to the passage of time, its quality has deteriorated and it lacks effectiveness.)
(Note: Low durability has damaged other effects. Repairing the effect will reactivate it, but it cannot be restored to the ??? quality. It needs to be trained again.)

(Note: When equipment is on the verge of destruction, each use of the active effect will force its use, and each use will reduce durability by 1 point.)
'Okay, I guessed wrong.' Chu Danqing thought it would be some terrible piece of equipment, but to her utter surprise, it turned out to be left behind by an apostle from another dimension.

Not only are its rank and quality questionable, but it's also a growth-level equipment.

This equipment can be considered a divine artifact for deities of faith.

Don't be fooled by the long cooldowns of these two active skills, which also consume lifespan and five-dimensional attributes.

However, once the durability is restored to full, things will definitely improve.

Unfortunately, the durability is too low, which means that other effects need to be repaired before they can reappear.

The park is only semi-digitized, not fully digitized, so equipment that doesn't reach zero durability will not be at its peak.

Durability is essentially a reflection of the equipment's condition. As durability decreases, not only will various attributes decrease, but the effects will also be weakened or even disappear.

Furthermore, various negative effects will occur, such as the Jiuhua Pagoda now losing durability when using its active skill.

Essentially, the equipment is too damaged, and using it is like operating it under excessive load, which will naturally cause damage to the equipment.

Once the durability reaches zero, the equipment is completely destroyed and cannot be repaired, unless it is an accompanying piece of equipment.

"I just don't know how many Paradise Points it will cost to repair it." Chu Danqing looked at the equipment and calculated the cost in his mind.

If you hire the Life Apostles to handle both labor and materials, it probably won't be cheap.

As for selling it directly without repair, its value will drop significantly.

After examining it for a while, Chu Danqing took it and stored it in her storage space.

Whether to repair it or not, we'll talk about it when we get back to Paradise.

In any case, the Nine-Flower Pagoda is a growth-level equipment that can be used as a core piece of equipment in the faith-based deity system.

"Alright, hurry up and go. I'll buy you half an hour. After that, it's up to you," Chu Danqing said.

Since I've already gotten the item, helping the other person out isn't a big deal.

As for Zhang Yaozuo, he'll have to deal with that later that night.

The main reason is that I have to attend the birthday banquet at Prince Hui's mansion later, so I definitely won't be free for the first half of the night.

Going now is not a good idea.

Going on a killing spree in broad daylight would easily get you recognized, and what if that affects your trial mission?

We can only let the other party live a little longer for now.

Unless the other party tries their best to escape, they will not be able to escape Chu Danqing's grasp.

However, given the other party's arrogant and domineering nature, there was no way they would escape; they would only choose to kill Chu Danqing.

"Thank you so much, my benefactor!" Fan An said gratefully, then apologized and hurried off to find his wife.

As for Chu Danqing, he leisurely circled back to the front of the living room.

Those people were bound by the blood chain of patricide, and they kept trying to break free with their divine power.

However, this was Da Bao's professional equipment, and it was given to him by Da Wang.

These twelve deities, the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, were bound, and it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven for them to break free.

Unless they are extraterrestrial visitors of a higher order from outside the planet, Da Bao could easily take on four kings and eight dukes by himself.

Of course, the treatment also needs to be provided by Big White.

When these people saw Chu Danqing return, they lowered their heads and dared not continue to make any small moves.

"Zhang Yaozuo, are you going to attend the birthday banquet of the Dowager Empress Hui tonight?" Chu Danqing asked.

If they go, then kill them on their way back.

This also saves Chu Danqing the trouble of going to the Grand Tutor's mansion.

The man at the head of the group looked shocked. He suspected that Chu Danqing wanted to kill the Grand Tutor, but he had no evidence.

'This person is truly audacious!' The other party felt a surge of fear.

If they dare to kill the Grand Tutor of the court, what wouldn't they dare to do?
“No, I won’t go,” the man said. “My Grand Tutor lost his son not long ago, and he hasn’t even been to the court lately.”

"The Dowager Consort Hui only sent birthday gifts to the banquet and did not personally go to offer her birthday wishes."

Having just lost her son, she had no heart to attend the birthday banquet.

In particular, Zhang Shanfu's death was extremely tragic, and recently Zhang Yaozuo has been forbidden from eating any food containing minced meat at his residence.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing's face also showed a regretful expression.

"What a pity, I was hoping to get to know the Grand Tutor," Chu Danqing said.

I initially thought I could save some distance, but then I realized that every cloud has a silver lining.

Although this matter is troublesome, the reward is even greater, since it not only allows us to kill Zhang Yaozuo, but also the household gods he worships.

It will inevitably be another magnificent treasure chest.

It might even add some shimmering texture.

Upon hearing Chu Danqing's words, the man couldn't help but inwardly grumble.

This isn't making friends, it's clearly scouting.

He didn't say it aloud, though; to say such a thing in this situation would be tantamount to courting death.

About forty minutes later, Fan An finished tidying up.

He didn't pack too meticulously; this was an escape, not a move.

"My benefactor, we shall take our leave now." Fan An cupped his hands in farewell, saying, "We shall meet again someday."

"After we leave, if our benefactor needs anything, please feel free to take it from the house."

Fan An was not worried about Chu Danqing's safety; the fact that the other party dared to do this meant that he had his own backing.

"I understand, go ahead." Chu Danqing waved his hand, dismissing them.

After everyone had gone some distance, Chu Danqing said, "It's about time. We should go back for the feast."

"Da Bao, you handle this, let's go back to Prince Hui's residence."

After Chu Danqing finished speaking, the men thought they were about to be released.

However, they discovered that the blood-red iron chains were embedded in their flesh.

Only then did they realize that Chu Danqing had never intended for them to live.

What I just did was simply to reassure the Fan family.

Killing them directly could easily cause panic; killing them after they've left is a win-win situation.

Before long, several people were torn into a bloody mess by the blood chain of patricide.
