Chapter 101: The P2W Covenant Shows Its Power Again!

With the sword dancing like a god at the hour of the Rat, Guo Ming took over Dabao's position and intercepted the Jade-Faced Luo Sha who was killing toward Chu Danqing.

"Born with a good skin, why become a thief?" Guo Ming said, and the silver light of the Rat-Hour Divine Queen Sword flashed, piercing toward the Jade-Faced Luo Sha's chest.

The Jade-Faced Luo Sha's pupils shrank, and she hurriedly used her long sword to protect herself.

Although she managed to deflect the Rat-Hour Divine Queen Sword, she was ultimately a step too slow and couldn't dodge; the Rat-Hour Divine Queen Sword instantly pierced through her shoulder blade.

Blood burst out, causing her left hand to hang down powerlessly.

"You do have three parts of ability." Seeing this scene, a look of surprise appeared on Guo Ming's face.

He could see that apart from her appearance, this Jade-Faced Luo Sha's cultivation and strength were mediocre, and her mana was even more superficial.

He hadn't expected her sword technique to be unexpectedly good.

Even if the Jade-Faced Luo Sha had Melee Mastery and Sword Art Mastery, so what? The gap in strength between the two sides was too large.

Guo Ming not only had higher attributes but also had talents and high-quality skills, plus an extraordinary background, various heavenly treasures, and guidance from famous teachers; how could the other party compare?

A single inheritance skill like the Twelve Yuan Chen Sword Scripture had to be at least above the Excellent-tier.

The Jade-Faced Luo Sha's skill level was high, but at most, it was only Excellent-tier.

"Bah, hateful thief!" After the Jade-Faced Luo Sha spat, she turned and fled.

With the threat to her life right in front of her, she couldn't care about much else.

It was just that if she wanted to escape, she had to ask if Guo Ming would agree.

The Rat-Hour Divine Queen Sword turned back, and the flowing light instantly pierced through the Jade-Faced Luo Sha's brow.

No matter how good her lightness art and footwork were, her corpse fell down immediately.

The death of the Jade-Faced Luo Sha was extremely shocking to the eyes of her subordinates.

When they came to their senses and wanted to escape, the Rat-Hour Divine Queen Sword had already knocked down a large area like stringing candied haws.

One by one, they cried for their fathers and mothers wanting to escape, but they simply couldn't compare to the speed of the Rat-Hour Divine Queen Sword.

Before long, they were all killed.

Guo Ming put away the Rat-Hour Divine Queen Sword and returned: "It seems Brother Chu hasn't had an easy time lately, being chased and killed every time."

Hearing this, Chu Danqing felt quite helpless: "Bandits are everywhere, and this Grand Coordinator Xiong is being targeted by treacherous officials in the court; there won't be any peace on the road."

Dabao brought back a treasure chest, Excellent-tier, with shining patterns.

It was inferior to the Excellent-tier treasure chest from Cheng Chun.

It was highly likely to open another basic skill.

Of course, it could also be the three skills of the Jade-Faced Luo Sha's set.

After Chu Danqing introduced him, Guo Ming paid his respects to Xiong Zhigang, which counted as etiquette.

"It's only been a few days, and you've become stronger again." Chu Danqing glanced at Guo Ming's panel.

The last time they met, the five-dimensional attributes were only 18 points each, but now they had all been raised to 19 points.

"Family surplus, not comparable to Brother Chu." Guo Ming noticed that Chu Danqing's Five Elements Spirit Seal had been cultivated, and the power added to him had become stronger again.

And he discovered that this power seemed to grow as his strength grew, rather than being fixed.

"It's just that I came in a hurry this time, and I only found two secret arts promised to Brother Chu."

"Fortunately, they are both urgently needed by Brother Chu." As he spoke, Guo Ming handed two secret arts to Chu Danqing.

【Skill Book: Five Elements Solid Foundation Art】

【Type: Derivative Skill】

【Quality: Common】

【Effect: After use, obtain the Five Elements Spirit Beast Command Art derivative skill Five Elements Solid Foundation Art, improve HP and Mana, and improve Dao foundation quality when building foundation after max level】

——

【Skill Book: Five Elements Spirit Pearl】

【Type: Derivative Skill】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Effect: After use, obtain the Five Elements Spirit Beast Command Art derivative skill Five Elements Spirit Pearl, refine Five Elements magic orbs into Five Elements Spirit Pearls to obtain brand-new effects】

"The Solid Foundation secret art is a set with the Nourishment secret art; although shallow, it is effective."

"And this Spirit Pearl is not for enhancing beast control and spirit summoning, but for assisting Brother Chu in your cultivation, and can also store mana for backup."

"I heard from my big brother that in addition to the Spirit Seal and Spirit Pearl, there are three sets: Spirit Flag, Spirit Pattern, and Spirit Talisman."

"If these five are practiced, when Brother Chu's Five Elements Spirit Beast Command Art is complete, they can be used for the Small Five Elements Origin Spirit Array in the inheritance."

"The remaining three sets of secret arts, my big brother has already sent people to look for them, and they will be gathered in ten days at most."

"On the contrary, the secret art for forging the Small Five Elements Dao foundation in the hands of Master Liulian is a bit difficult, but I have asked Brother Lu Yin to intercede, so it won't be a problem."

Guo Ming roughly explained everything he had planned for Chu Danqing in recent days.

"Then... there is one more thing." Guo Ming suddenly rubbed his hands and said: "I remember Brother Chu, you don't have a handy self-defense weapon, right?"

"I specially found a suitable one for Brother Chu." Guo Ming said, taking out a nine-section staff: "This was truly hard to find; even in my family, I couldn't find such a low-quality piece of equipment."

His difficulty lay in finding an Excellent-tier summoning-type weapon for Chu Danqing, with the focus on Excellent-tier.

"Oh, you want the Shadow of the Cold Spring." Chu Danqing couldn't be clearer about what Guo Ming wanted.

It just so happened that he hadn't used it many times until now; if ganging up could win, they would swarm, and if they couldn't win, they would call for help.

With no use for it, he gave it directly to Guo Ming.

Guo Ming immediately took it, his face full of joy.

Chu Danqing checked the information on the nine-section staff.

【Green Vine Nine-Section Staff】

【Type: Equipment · Nine-Section Staff】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Durability: 100/100】

【Vine Summoning (Active/Passive): Actively inject 1 point of mana or summon a thorn vine to fight for you every 10 seconds, lasting 1 minute, maximum limit: 6 vines】

【Equipment Requirement: Spirit 5 points】

Chu Danqing found that Guo Ming had truly put his heart into it, actually finding a piece of equipment similar to the Shadow of the Cold Spring, which was not only compatible with his summoning system but also more flexible.

However, he discovered one thing: this weapon had no attack power and could only rely on thorn vines to fight.

This didn't mean it couldn't be swung to smash people, but the damage would be low, and improper use would cause the durability to drop significantly or even break directly.

"Brother Chu, the Shadow of the Cold Spring has become stronger." Guo Ming was currently a temporary ally belonging to Chu Danqing, temporarily possessing part of the Dimension Apostle's permissions, so he could also see the panel of the Shadow of the Cold Spring.

"I upgraded it a bit." Chu Danqing replied.

"Then thank you, Brother Chu, for your trouble." Guo Ming put it away immediately: "I see Brother Chu has things to do, why not send me back first?"

He had nothing to reminisce about; the last time he met Chu Danqing, it hadn't even been five days.

It would be better to go back and think of a way to upgrade his Shadow of the Cold Spring.

Chu Danqing didn't keep him and sent him back directly; staying for less than an hour, the Paradise also calculated it for him as one hour.

Just that chat and the aftermath of dealing with the Jade-Faced Luo Sha's bandits took at least forty minutes.

【Detected unnotarized skill books and equipment, provided by the covenant object, you can choose regular notarization or waive notarization】

【1. Notarization, Common-tier consumes Paradise Points × 100, Excellent-tier consumes Paradise Points × 2000】

【2. Do not notarize, will be sent back together upon repatriation】

——

【Detected that the covenant object is carrying the Excellent-tier equipment Shadow of the Cold Spring (three true spirit awakenings) belonging to a Reserve Dimension Apostle, you can choose to pay a handling fee to complete the transfer or waive the transfer】

【1. Handling fee: Paradise Points × 2500】

【2. Waive transfer, will remain in place】

(Note: Transferred items will not be charged extra if quality improvement, enhancement, etc., occur next time they are carried)

——

Two Paradise prompts followed, making Chu Danqing's heart ache.

He could understand that things Guo Ming gave him needed notarization, but he actually had to pay a handling fee for giving his own things away.

The Blood Oath Covenant should be renamed the P2W Covenant.

He opened the details and saw that the handling fee for Excellent-tier equipment was 1000 points, and the remaining 1500 points were the fees calculated from the three awakenings.

If it weren't for the note, Chu Danqing would definitely have discussed with Guo Ming to wait until he was richer before giving it to him.

With Guo Ming's love for the Shadow of the Cold Spring plus the Guo family's foundation, the next time they met, the Shadow of the Cold Spring might be of a quality above Excellent.

For Chu Danqing, it was a good thing.

After saying that, notarization and transfer were completed, and the deduction notice popped up again.

【You sent back the covenant object, repatriation cognition rationalization modification complete, this survival time: 1 hour, consumption: Paradise Points × 100】

Paradise Points shrank again, making Chu Danqing understand the hard truth that P2W makes you stronger.

"This Young Master Guo has an extraordinary background; why haven't I heard of his name?" Xiong Zhigang asked curiously.

"He is relatively low-key." Chu Danqing said vaguely; he couldn't say that Guo Ming was in another world, where his family had been high officials for four generations.

It was easy to violate the Paradise taboo and be forcibly sent back.

Xiong Zhigang didn't delve into it upon hearing this.

"Mr. Chu, we must eliminate the evil completely." Zhao Mingqian walked over; he, Dabao, Yuan Shanhu, and Xiong Zhigang's old servant had finished cleaning up, and only then did he come over to speak.

"Luo Sha Gorge has lost the Jade-Faced Luo Sha; it's just the right time to eradicate it." Yuan Shanhu chimed in.

The Jade-Faced Luo Sha was the backbone; without her, Luo Sha Gorge was not worth worrying about.

"I think it makes sense." Xiong Zhigang naturally supported it: "Perhaps we can find some clues from the Jade-Faced Luo Sha's forest bandit stronghold."

"If we find the mastermind, we can be prepared."

Not to mention how the Jade-Faced Luo Sha occupied this Luo Sha Gorge and developed to this day, just the fact that she had such martial arts at her age meant it was impossible without the support of a major force behind her.

From her age, she was only two or three years older than Zhao Mingqian, but her strength was far superior to Zhao Mingqian's.

Talent and diligence were indeed important, but the saying "poor literature, rich martial arts" also indicated that practicing martial arts required a considerable family background.

Zhao Mingqian was from the Canluo Sect, the largest sect in the world; the Jade-Faced Luo Sha, who could suppress Zhao Mingqian so steadily, must have come from the imperial court.

It was just that there were many factions within the imperial court, and Xiong Zhigang needed clues to confirm who it was.

"That's fine, but who knows the way?" Chu Danqing asked the key question.

The Jade-Faced Luo Sha could be arrogant to this day, besides her hard strength and ability, the location of her forest stronghold was very critical.
