Chapter 263: The Third Alliance

Chu Danqing was thinking that if they hadn't come tonight, and Fang Yiliu had killed this old man and run away with the inheritance, it might have really caused a great disaster.

The items the old man carried with him, besides some pills for cultivation and healing, also included two very important things.

The first was the old man's lifelong experience and a series of spirit beast knowledge; this book was a knowledge-type item.

【Nether-Marrow Communication】

【Type: Knowledge-type item】

【Quality: Fine】

【Durability: 100/100】

【Effect: Reading can increase the proficiency level of Summoning Studies/Summoning Art/Command/Cultivation/Spirit Control】

The other was the manufacturing technology of the Yaksha Pill, and it was a mature technology with a very high ceiling.

It could allow people to fully possess the power of the Yaksha King level, unfortunately limited to the spirit beast species of Yaksha.

However, it was also a knowledge-type item.

【Yaksha Blood Record】

【Type: Knowledge-type item】

【Quality: Fine】

【Durability: 100/100】

【Effect 1: Can refine Yaksha Pills according to the formula, gaining Yaksha power blessing after consumption】

【Effect 2: Reading can increase the proficiency level of Harmonization】

If these two knowledge-type items had really fallen into Fang Yiliu's hands, it might have really been possible for him to rise.

Otherwise, how could it be called an opportunity?

Besides this, Chu Danqing also confiscated a Yaksha Pill.

This Yaksha Pill wasn't the immature product the old man gave Fang Yiliu to take.

One could tell from the color and luster of the exterior.

The crystal itself was purer, and the blood color was also purer.

Unlike the Yaksha Pill Fang Yiliu took, which had mottled impurities in it.

It was fortunate that this power was temporary and not permanent; as long as there was no blood food supplement, one could take a higher-quality Yaksha Pill to replace it after consumption.

It was just that after Chu Danqing took a look, he buried these Yaksha Pills on the spot.

Not to mention the craftsmanship, just talking about the raw materials, Chu Danqing lost interest after seeing them.

The first was the spirit beast Yaksha Soldier, which was indispensable.

And it had to be a whole one.

Then there was a portion of Nether-Konggu Youlan Blood Dew for blending.

One Yaksha Pill meant one person and one spirit beast.

Chu Danqing naturally couldn't use this technology.

As for improvement? After Chu Danqing went through it roughly, he reached a conclusion: this technology used Nether-Konggu Youlan Blood Dew as the core material.

Without it, it was simply duckweed without roots.

However, for Chu Danqing, the harmonization part in this technology was very valuable.

If the other party used it on the right path, they might really achieve something.

Just looking at these two knowledge-type items, Chu Danqing could only sigh that it was worthy of being called an opportunity.

Especially the Harmonization proficiency skill; in this summoning-based spirit beast world, the difficulty of obtaining it was indeed not small.

Knowledge-type items for the summoning system should be easier to get.

"Do you want it? I'll copy a version for you." Chu Danqing indicated that those who see it have a share and handed it to Yang Qianyuan to see.

The original definitely couldn't be given to Yang Qianyuan; after all, he still had to use it in the cultivation room to improve cultivation efficiency.

But knowledge could be shared; copying it for Yang Qianyuan wasn't a difficult task.

"No need, the content inside is related to Yaksha and Nether-Wing Night Bat, which I have no use for." Yang Qianyuan took it, flipped through a few pages briefly, and returned it to Chu Danqing.

Compared to Chu Danqing, who didn't refuse anyone, the natives of this trial world naturally had their own screening.

Even if Yang Qianyuan had needs, at least it had to be knowledge related to heavenly-calculation-type spirit beasts.

Neither of the two Chu Danqing had in his hands fit.

"Fine, then I'll keep it myself." Chu Danqing said, stuffing it into his storage space.

With these two knowledge-type items, his proficiency skill improvement efficiency should be much faster.

After burying the corpses of Fang Yiliu, the old man, and the Nether-Wing Night Bat, Chu Danqing returned to Meilong Town with Yang Qianyuan.

On the way, Chu Danqing also asked: "Regarding that Concentric Lotus Seed you mentioned before, are there any clues?"

Chu Danqing was still thinking about his chain mission.

Hearing this, Yang Qianyuan opened his mouth and said: "I have divined a little these days, and I have indeed found some clues."

"It's just that it's a bit troublesome to get it."

Hearing this, Chu Danqing's eyes narrowed: "What trouble? I can help with military force."

He could only help with fighting and killing; he really couldn't help with other things.

Of course, he wasn't the one doing the fighting and killing, but Da Bao and the others.

He was just a super mascot on 24-hour standby.

"Not for now, but the general location has been locked."

"There is a very high probability that this Concentric Lotus Seed is in the Yun Mansion on the next street."

"Once I locate it, I will find a way to get it for you, Brother Chu." Yang Qianyuan said.

The words sounded fine, but to Chu Danqing's ears, they sounded quite like an outlaw.

"Let's visit tomorrow morning and see if we can buy it." Chu Danqing hurriedly stopped him.

Although he wanted it, it was ultimately someone else's property.

Perhaps it wasn't valued in the Yun Mansion, but that wasn't a reason for them to seize it by force.

"That's fine too; not many people like this Concentric Lotus Seed, so buying it is actually better." Yang Qianyuan didn't refute Chu Danqing's choice.

Taking it by other means would always have hidden dangers, but if it was a legitimate purchase, they could stand on firm ground, and they wouldn't be afraid of anything in the future.

"Qianyuan, you are from the Anyong Imperial Family, right?" Chu Danqing suddenly changed the subject and asked.

When Yang Qianyuan went out to inquire about news in the afternoon, Chu Danqing was also inquiring.

The Anyong Dynasty's surname was Yang, followed by the generation characters.

"Zhao Ming Shishou, Zhen Qiantai Heng, Chongren Zhenwu, Shaode Guangcheng." Chu Danqing reported the genealogy generation characters and continued: "So you are of the Qian generation."

Hearing this, Yang Qianyuan didn't show any panic but admitted it generously: "I am indeed from the Anyong Imperial Family."

"If you count the generation, the current Emperor is my cousin." Yang Qianyuan added.

Chu Danqing was also a bit surprised; he thought the other party would hide it, but he didn't expect him to admit it directly.

"Oh, then haven't you seen the Emperor? No wonder you know him so well." Chu Danqing changed the subject.

Knowing it was enough; there was no need to ask anything else.

Character, ability, and status all exceeded Chu Danqing's expectations; he was very suitable as an ally.

"I have seen him; that year I was three years old, my father had just passed away, and I had seen the late Emperor once in the Imperial Study."

"I haven't seen the current Emperor." Yang Qianyuan said straightforwardly: "There are many Anyong Imperial family members, and they have all been enfeoffed as vassal kings; without an imperial edict, they are not allowed to enter the capital."

"So the Jiaoying Prefecture is actually your fief?" Chu Danqing suddenly thought of this matter.

"Passed down from ancestors, my father only had me as a son, so there were fewer brothers to divide it, and I am indeed the King of Jiaoying." Yang Qianyuan didn't intend to hide anything.

Chu Danqing hadn't asked before, so he naturally didn't say it.

However, he was actually prepared for this situation in his heart.

Since he was asking for help, he should be honest and sincere.

Paper couldn't wrap fire; it was better to be generous.

"I didn't expect that I would have a vassal king friend." Chu Danqing said with a smile.

A vassal king was good, and a vassal king with real power in a fief was even better.

"Brother Chu is joking; I, as a vassal king, have no power to open a mansion and can only be considered a noble idler." Yang Qianyuan said helplessly: "Outside the gate of the Prince's Mansion, there is only a status left."

A vassal king becoming too powerful would affect central power, but because they were imperial family members, they couldn't be treated harshly.

In the end, only face and status remained; all political power, military power, etc., were gone.

"I actually have a question too." Yang Qianyuan hesitated for a moment before asking: "That is, the troops of that Bear Coordinator, they are raised by you, Brother Chu, right?"

"How is that possible? Where would I have the money to raise 100,000 troops..." Chu Danqing answered immediately: "They are raised by others themselves."

Yang Qianyuan only felt that something was not quite right; 100,000 troops?

Then why don't you rebel?

Not to mention more, as long as you have 10,000, the person sitting on the throne would be you.

Chu Danqing also discovered that he had let the number slip, so he hurriedly made up for it: "Don't worry, I can't mobilize many; currently, there are only 500 or so."

Because Chu Danqing had seen higher-level power, he felt that 500 or so wasn't many.

But Yang Qianyuan was different; he felt that 800 would be enough to launch a rebellion.

Fortunately, he didn't say this out loud.

"Then where does this Bear Coordinator raise his troops?" Yang Qianyuan asked tentatively.

"This, you'll know later." Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, Chu Danqing took the opportunity to bring up the Shanhe Alliance.

They had been together for half a month, and Chu Danqing understood him well enough.

It was just the right time to sign the Shanhe Alliance.

To avoid long nights and many dreams.

When he mentioned the Shanhe Alliance, the nebula inside the Prophecy Spider was spinning wildly; it sensed that Yang Qianyuan's predetermined fate had shattered, and that dark and desperate ending was changed at this moment.

The Prophecy Spider kept weaving its web, and the web wasn't a normal structure but looked extremely chaotic.

Yang Qianyuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva; he could feel that the alliance Chu Danqing mentioned was the very opportunity for him to escape his predetermined future.

"Sign, definitely sign!" Yang Qianyuan agreed without hesitation; when he said this, his body trembled significantly due to excitement and agitation.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing also asked: "Are you alright? Otherwise..."

"Sign first, let's sign first." Yang Qianyuan couldn't care about anything else.

Chu Danqing couldn't stop him, so he could only add him to the list first.

The moment the signing was completed, Yang Qianyuan could feel the shackles on his body shattering instantly.

It was as if a bird had ascended to the blue sky and a fish had entered the vast sea. He was no longer bound.

"Brother Chu, when can this alliance be used?" Yang Qianyuan asked.

"You'll know in a while; don't worry about me not being able to find you; you won't be able to run away even to the ends of the earth." Chu Danqing said sincerely.

Yang Qianyuan could understand what Chu Danqing meant, but he always felt that this wasn't a good thing to say.

However, he didn't dwell on it, after all, he was already tied together with Chu Danqing.
