Chapter 218: Yuanping King's Tomb

Guo Ming didn't hesitate at all and chose to take them all.

Low quality isn't a problem; it's because these pieces of equipment are from other worlds. If he takes them back, the Guo family will conduct research to take the best and discard the dross, maybe they can get more benefits.

Just like the Flesh Scholar's spellbook, even if it's only Excellent-level, it can make their Guo family reborn.

Even if the Taiping Daoist's Taiping Book was in front of them, in a choice of two, they would only choose this Excellent-level Flesh Scholar's spellbook.

As for the slight buff Chu Danqing lost, it doesn't matter; anyway, there are better ones.

"Brother Chu, do you really not need weapons?" Guo Ming asked curiously: "That master of the vessel path has already been recruited by the Guo family and became a guest."

"Materials and everything are not lacking, just let them be forged for you together."

Ever

Upon hearing his son say that this cultivation art was too high-end for Chu Danqing to use, Guo Ming's father became anxious.

Recently, he had already begun trying to find ways to simplify the Great Five Elements Auspicious Beast Scripture.

Although it was a bit eccentric, the Guo clan was powerful and influential, and once they put the word out, there were plenty of people willing to do it.

Not to mention that the Guo clan now also possessed Longevity Pills.

Before long, they might become a new major threat to the leader of the Taiping Dao.

"No need, I have something better." Chu Danqing told Guo Ming about the arena rewards.

Compared to ordinary equipment, True Spirit equipment is naturally better, not to mention equipment that is +12 reinforced and fully True Spirit awakened. Wouldn't it be even better to use the True Spirit equipment evolution scroll from the arena shop to upgrade it to the Exemplary Tier later?

Chu Danqing was already very satisfied with the Yue Lan Totem Pillar just at +5 reinforcement, let alone +12.

"Oh? Do you need my help?" Guo Ming asked immediately.

A Vengeance Mark isn't a nuclear weapon. Chu Danqing didn't want to offend a major power, but if he were to become timid because of it, wouldn't that be ridiculous?

"Probably not until the trial after next." Chu Danqing had played five hundred matches just to reach the top one thousand.

The lower the ranking, the easier it is to improve; once it gets high, there's naturally no way to advance by leaps and bounds, and one can only climb up slowly.

"So that's how it is." Guo Ming didn't urge him; such things couldn't be rushed: "Since the materials are here, why not upgrade the Nine Cauldrons Diagram?"

"Upgrading takes time; the Paradise indicates it requires an hour of a safe environment. If I wait an hour, wouldn't the Dragon Vein power buff on you be wasted?" Chu Danqing said while searching for the entrance to Prince Yuanping's tomb.

Relying on his cat's-step knowledge, he couldn't find anything.

This left Guo Ming speechless, and he spoke up: "Then, Brother Chu, can you open the tomb door within an hour?"

Chu Danqing looked up and down, then said: "Forget an hour, I couldn't open it in three days."

"With my meager knowledge of Feng Shui, what right do I have to challenge the bond between the craftsmen and their nine generations of kin?" Chu Danqing still had self-awareness.

After saying this, he retreated a few steps, shielding Da Bao in front of him.

Seeing this behavior from Chu Danqing, Guo Ming immediately understood his thoughts.

The Su Nu Sword Spirit picked up a sniper rifle and blasted it toward the tomb door of Prince Yuanping.

This was essentially a sword-Qi rocket launcher disguised as a sniper rifle.

The entire tomb door was blasted to pieces, and dust mixed with a foul odor rushed toward them.

"I remember Zhong Ting's senior uncle was blocked by the tomb-guarding beasts and didn't dare to enter; why don't I see them?" Chu Danqing's gaze probed inside, but he couldn't see anything.

Saying this, he released several Ghost Grudge Infants to scout the path.

"It couldn't be because I used the front door, could it?" Chu Danqing wasn't sure.

Few grave robbers entered a tomb like he did; most of them dug a tunnel to get in.

"Wait for the Ghost Grudge Infants to come out first; let's rest for a moment." Chu Danqing said, sitting down to open the Fine Tier treasure chest dropped by the Corpse Flood Dragon.

Chu Danqing knew at a glance that this piece of equipment and the skill book were a set, and the Corpse Flood Dragon Jade Pearl was 99% likely to be True Spirit equipment; subsequent True Spirit awakening would definitely have buffs related to Corpse Flood Dragon Transformation.

"This trial world is indeed powerful; it actually involves the Dao of Transformation." After reading the skill book for Corpse Flood Dragon Transformation, Guo Ming also had an expression of surprise on his face.

"Transformation? Is it very powerful?" Chu Danqing didn't feel much.

"In the trial world I am in, it is indeed so." Guo Ming said: "Transformation is not just the transformation of the physical body, but also the transformation of essence, Qi, and spirit."

"It is said that if one masters transformation, one can avoid the disaster of heavenly condemnation."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing handed both items to the other party: "Then it's yours."

However, Guo Ming shook his head and refused: "The living cannot use the things of the dead."

In reality, the reason he refused wasn't this, but rather to let Chu Danqing convert them into resources.

If he really accepted them, not only would he lose a source of income, but he would also have to pay an additional expense.

It wouldn't have much impact if the Guo clan didn't have this set of equipment and skills.

Chu Danqing was different; every bit of output was related to his growth and trials.

"Also true." Chu Danqing didn't force it, put them away, and then said: "Actually, it's not as magical as you imagine."

"The Corpse Flood Dragon isn't a real dragon; in the end, it's just human corpses being raised."

Chu Danqing had witnessed the versatility of human corpses in this trial world: "Instead of wanting these two things, it's better to find some corpses for you to take back; maybe you can directly research the root of it."

"Just treat it as taking back some local specialties."

This made Guo Ming somewhat dumbfounded; who takes corpses as local specialties?

Besides, the corpses in this trial world are so magical; what if you really take them back and raise an invincible demonic corpse?

You cannot underestimate this trial world just because it's not as good as the one you are in.

Xiong Zhigang was a living example.

"Wait until you finish your mission, Brother Chu, then take them if there's a chance." Guo Ming politely declined Chu Danqing's kindness.

After he finished speaking, the Ghost Gui Yuanmu interjected: "The children who went in are all dead."

"Oh? So fast?" Chu Danqing was also surprised; the Ghost Grudge Infants' strength was indeed not high before the Moon-Chasing Cloud Robe.

But with the 10 points of all attributes added by the Cloud-Chasing Moon Robe and Chu Danqing's buffs, their attributes already exceeded the naked attributes of the former Ghost Gui Yuanmu; how could they die so quickly?

Although the Cloud-Chasing Moon Robe didn't have a percentage bonus, for Chu Danqing at the current stage, pure fixed values were far superior to percentages.

This piece of equipment could become Exemplary Tier entirely because the three effects of Spirit Leap, Clear Sky, and Protection were powerful enough; the others were just along for the ride.

"It seems the inside and outside are not at all the same difficulty." Guo Ming said immediately: "Otherwise, shall I go in and scout for you, Brother Chu?"

Chu Danqing shook his head and summoned the dead Ghost Grudge Infants again: "Go in; the mission is important."

Letting Guo Ming go in was fine, but the mission couldn't be advanced.

The trial mission required him to enter the ancient tomb, and the talent awakening mission also asked him to enter Prince Yuanping's tomb.

Sitting outside and waiting for death probably wouldn't get the Paradise's recognition.

Stepping into the tomb, the trial mission was completed immediately.

——

【Mission completed, you obtained: Paradise Points ×2000, Attribute Points +2】

——

【Trial Mission: Within 3 months, obtain one funerary object of Fine Tier or above from the entered ancient tomb】

【Trial Difficulty: C-Tier (Adventure)】

【Trial Reward: Return qualification, Paradise Points ×2000, Attribute Points +2】

【Trial Failure: Paradise Points -4000, forced return】

——

Because this was Chu Danqing's first trial mission after promoting to Rank 1, the difficulty was on the lower side.

This was already much better than the Reserve Rank level; back then, the first mission for the Reserve Rank was directly E-Tier difficulty.

Now at least it's a D-Tier start, indicating that the difficulty has already increased.

And this mission difficulty isn't actually high; it's just finding an item, material, or even a prop of Fine Tier or above in the tomb.

Anyway, as long as you can get it, it counts as completed.

It doesn't even require you to hand it in; clearly, this is to allow apostles who have just promoted to Rank 1 to update and iterate their own equipment.

Fine Tier at Rank 1 is only equivalent to the Excellent Tier at the Reserve Rank level.

However, the trial difficulty is greater; if the Paradise doesn't provide preferential treatment, it's very likely to cause unnecessary deaths of apostles.

Once you reach Rank 1, the sunk cost of dying is huge.

Chu Danqing doesn't know what the situation is in other factions, but the Dimension Paradise is a true paradise.

After stepping into Prince Yuanping's tomb, Chu Danqing took out a high-intensity flashlight; once turned on, it made the dark tomb passage look like daylight.

The high-intensity flashlight Chu Danqing bought wasn't an ordinary one; it was the kind where the light bulb was as big as a human head.

The gloominess was swept away instantly; in sight were two crouching tomb-guarding beasts. Although they were made of stone carvings, Chu Danqing could see the fierce aura contained within them with his naked eye.

Clearly, these tomb-guarding beasts, like the blind boy, had living people mixed in as a part of them, which is why they became dirty things.

After all, stone statues have no spirit; if you want to dot them with spirit, you naturally have to use humans, the leaders of all spirits, as materials to add to them.

Then, before Chu Danqing could speak, the Su Nu Sword Spirit raised her sniper rifle and fired two shots at the two tomb-guarding beasts.
