Chapter 228: Nine Cauldrons Diagram Exemplary Quality

An hour passed in a flash, and the Nine Cauldrons Diagram in Chu Danqing's hand successfully upgraded to Exemplary Tier quality.

He had originally thought about continuing to improve the quality, but Paradise gave a reminder.

【Please note, if you continue to improve to??? quality, there may be unknown effects such as insufficient equipment requirements to equip, dragon pulse backlash, etc.; consequences at your own risk】

Chu Danqing saw this and immediately stopped.

He had no way to control the dragon pulse.

It seemed that the division of quality in the clearance probably didn't just represent the quality of the equipment itself, but also the stage that the apostle could control.

After upgrading to Exemplary Tier, Chu Danqing could choose another Dragon Son as a resident effect.

After pondering slightly, he directly chose the Dragon Son Fu Xi.

He had indeed experienced the effect of the Dragon Son Pu Lao, but there were too many restrictions; let's talk about it next time.

【Nine Cauldrons Diagram】

【Type: Equipment · Atlas】

【Quality: Exemplary】

【Durability: 100/100】

【Charm +19】

【Luck +6】

【Dragon Pulse Power (Active): Consume 19% of maximum mana, increase all summons' full attributes by 30%, lasting 30 minutes, cooldown 1 hour】

【Suppressing Luck Dragon Son (Passive): Resident 2 Dragon Sons fighting for you; during their existence, pay 200 HP per minute to maintain; each change of Dragon Son cooldown 24 hours; Dragon Son consumption borne by the apostle】

(Dragon Son Ba Xia: Add a shield equal to 1% of maximum HP to the apostle per second, stacking up to 110 layers)

(Dragon Son Fu Xi: Summon skill consumption -21%)

【Dragon Phase Fully Revealed (Passive): Charm +20】

【Hidden Dragon in the Abyss (Passive): Damage reduction 10%】

【Bell Ringing and Cauldron Eating (Passive): Refine 9 dragon pearls/dragon crystals/dragon spirits, etc., as nourishment to improve the quality of the Nine Cauldrons Diagram to the next quality (Quality progress: 0/9, Evolution count: 1)】

(Note: The dragon pearls/dragon crystals/dragon spirits, etc., required for this improvement are limited to Exemplary quality)

【Equipment Requirement: Dragon Pulse recognition, collector of the Nine Cauldrons Diagram, Charm 30 points, possess 6 summon-type LV. 1 proficiency skills】

Don't say, it's fortunate that he didn't continue to improve the quality, otherwise it would really be a trouble to equip it.

If the proficiency skill level was not enough, it might really be impossible to suppress the dragon pulse.

The charm bonus reached 39 points; it was just that luck added less, only increasing by 1 point.

It seems that wanting to improve luck is indeed not an easy thing.

However, for Chu Danqing, the real big gain was that there was one more Suppressing Luck Dragon Son, and the Dragon Son effect was improved.

The Nine Cauldrons Diagram probably couldn't grow infinitely; after all, it was just a product in a low-level martial arts world.

It was estimated that it could grow at most nine times, that is, after all nine Suppressing Luck Dragon Sons were resident, the dragon pulse would be almost restored.

If he wanted to continue to improve later, he could only look for other methods.

And growing nine times was just Chu Danqing's guess; it might be even less.

The base was Fine Tier; no matter how high the upper limit was, it was limited.

The Su Nu Sword was probably similar, but the Guo family had power and influence, and valued spirituality more.

Chu Danqing was different; he had no money and no technology, so he could only take it one step at a time.

"The consumption is reduced by another 20%." Guo Ming immediately sensed his own change after the Dragon Son Fu Xi appeared.

This was a 21% proportion; naturally, it was immediate.

"Yes, it's a pity that it can't be calculated by stacking, only separately," Chu Danqing expressed deep regret for this.

If it really could be calculated by stacking, everyone wouldn't be able to bear this kind of strength, which was no different from exponential growth.

He himself might die suddenly because of this.

After all, these bonuses and gains were not just a string of values, but real power.

It was just that after being digitized by Paradise, it could be observed intuitively; if it were really treated as a value, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Guo Ming naturally also knew this principle, so he just expressed that this was normal.

"Speaking of which, this consumption shouldn't be able to be 0, right?" Guo Ming asked.

"I don't know about you, but I can't," Chu Danqing said bluntly.

The skill "Unified Command" had already told him this.

While the two were chatting, they began to expand the waterway to prepare for what was to come.

As for the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, it would have to wait until they left the underground.

Chu Danqing hadn't made up his mind whether to use it.

Mainly, for Chu Danqing, permanent summons were a bit saturated.

His path was a relatively popular school in the summon system.

That was to focus on improving himself, thereby improving the summons, so the resource investment in permanent summons was relatively small.

If it were a type that mainly invested resources in permanent summons, it would be more inclined toward a beast tamer.

Neither could be said to be better or worse; it was just that the path of improving himself and then radiating gains to the summons was more suitable for Chu Danqing.

After all, Chu Danqing's real main force was allies and equipment summons.

Da Bao and Da Bai were two stocks that needed long-term investment; they made money, but couldn't make a big profit at the current stage.

As for why they didn't invest a lot of resources but were able to improve so quickly?

There was a reason; resources were not uninvested, but the resources invested were the knowledge Chu Danqing learned as the main consumption.

The higher Chu Danqing's knowledge in summoning, the better the effect of cultivating them.

So it wasn't that no resources were invested, just that no main resources were invested.

Letting Chu Danqing cultivate another permanent summon really made him hesitate.

The point of hesitation was that the quality of the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book was Exemplary, and it could also choose the type of summon.

For example, completing a basic set of battle, magic, and healing.

Da Bao is a warrior, Da Bai is a healer, and a mage is still missing.

Although he really didn't lack output, at the current stage, whether it was the Son of Heaven or the Ghost Grudge Mother, they could both serve as output positions.

It was just that in terms of potential, they were still inferior.

Or choosing a permanent summon of the exploration or perception type to make up for the deficiency would also work.

It wasn't that it wasn't needed, but Chu Danqing was too poor.

Of course, this was also because Chu Danqing was strong; after all, spending so many Paradise Points with a plan, becoming stronger was a sure thing.

Paradise was still very fair in this regard; you have gains if you pay.

Even if the direction you pay might be wrong, Paradise would let you have corresponding gains.

"Phew~ finally finished," Chu Danqing spat out a mouthful of turbid air, his gaze looking at the blocked waterway.

As long as Guo Ming removed the array, the Huang Long River water would immediately backflow, and trigger a chain reaction to cause the surroundings to collapse.

At the same time, because it had been carefully calculated, time was left for them to leave.

Actually, there was no need to worry; with Guo Ming here, he could completely take Chu Danqing and Da Bao to escape smoothly.

As for Yue Lan Wu Ying, it didn't matter if it died; it could be summoned again.

On the other side, Wu Zhen's cleansing of the Purple Micro Jade Seal had also reached its end.

The last bit of Imperial Purple Qi merged into the Purple Micro Jade Seal, and the Dragon-Gouging Platform collapsed instantly, turning into a ruin.

Wu Zhen's soul floated over and handed the Purple Micro Jade Seal to Chu Danqing.

Upon obtaining it, the talent quest was completed, and the final ring was triggered.

【Chain Quest Ring 4: Save the Purple Micro Jade Seal until return】

【Trial Difficulty: F-Rank (Extremely Easy)】

【Trial Reward: None】

【Trial Failure: This talent awakening quest is terminated】

The difficulty of the final ring dropped directly from S-Rank nightmare to F-Rank extremely easy.

This was the difficulty calculated by Paradise; after all, Chu Danqing's trial quest had already been completed.

As long as he put the Purple Micro Jade Seal into the storage space, didn't die himself, and returned to Paradise, it would be fine.

But if you want to court death yourself, then Paradise has no way.

Chu Danqing put it into the storage space immediately, not even having time to look at the attributes, when Wu Zhen spoke.

"Go, otherwise you won't be able to leave." After Wu Zhen finished speaking, massive Yin Qi surged out from the ruins of the Dragon-Gouging Platform in the center of the underground palace.

It was visibly thick, appearing extremely terrifying.

Wu Zhen, however, was not afraid at all, just turned around and quietly looked at the ruins, not knowing what he was thinking.

But he probably didn't need to continue thinking, because his soul was completely transparent, representing that he had completely dissipated.

Cleansing the Purple Micro Jade Seal had already overdrawn Wu Zhen's soul; he was just holding on with his last breath to hand the jade seal to Chu Danqing and give a word of advice.

Before Chu Danqing could react, Guo Ming immediately took Chu Danqing and Da Bao and escaped with his sword.

At the same time, the blocked waterway was also unsealed by him; in an instant, the river water backflowed, forming a terrifying water momentum.

The water momentum drove the change in the terrain, immediately forming a collapse.

The Yin Qi had just poked its head out when it suffered a strong suppression.

Guo Ming rushed into Prince Yuanping's tomb immediately, but the speed of the collapse was getting faster and faster, and the entire Prince Yuanping's tomb also appeared with huge cracks; these cracks were also expanding.

Seeing this, Guo Ming didn't dare to stay for even a moment.

"The range is too large; I fear it will affect this section of the Huang Long River, and the surrounding tombs might also be damaged," Chu Danqing said while being taken away by Guo Ming on his sword.

If these tombs couldn't be pressed more firmly but were instead rolled to the surface, it meant that some great baleful object would emerge.

"Brother Chu, rest assured, I had anticipated this matter." Guo Ming hadn't not seen the large row of tombs at the bottom of the Huang Long River.

When leaving the bottom of the Huang Long River due to the underground collapse and river water backflow, a large number of cracks appeared in many tombs.

Fortunately, it wasn't that there was no good news; these tombs began to sink following the movement of the earth's crust.

Let alone being rolled to the surface, it was already very good not to be buried in a deeper layer, not to mention not being crushed by the terrain collapse in this process.

In one go, they rushed from the bottom of the Huang Long River to the shore, and quickly moved away from the riverbank until they couldn't feel any movement.

Guo Ming also had lingering fears; if it weren't for their advance preparation and running fast enough.

Once they couldn't leave, being buried underground was a small matter; what was truly impossible to deal with was the possibility of being dragged into the underworld.

"I hope that after the Underworld Mouth is buried, there won't be any follow-up," Chu Danqing said.

Guo Ming replied: "Brother Chu, just stay far away; the follow-up has nothing to do with you and me."
