Chapter 266: Permanent Summoned Object: Concentric Lotus Seed

Opening the brocade box, a lotus seed was placed on a soft cushion.

This was clearly newly prepared; the previous Concentric Lotus Seed definitely didn't have this preservation treatment.

At most, it was supplied with some water to ensure it didn't die and didn't sprout; if it had no use in the future, it was afraid it would be directly used as medicine.

Chu Danqing reached out and picked it up; he could feel the faint vitality within it.

The state of the Concentric Lotus Seed wasn't good, as it had passively entered a dormant state due to the living environment.

After checking it carefully, he found that it hadn't hurt the foundation.

But dormancy and weakness were good news in this situation.

It would be easier to refine.

"Not bad, then I'll accept it." Chu Danqing said, taking out the Moon Shadow Demon Essence Armor from his storage space: "This item is... Mr. Yun, see if this can be offset?"

"If it's not enough, I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Yun Shan hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare; Mr. Chu is willing to help my Yun Mansion mediate with Prince Ning, which is already a thousand thanks and ten thousand thanks; how dare I accept this gift."

Yun Shan actually had longing in his eyes as he looked at the Moon Shadow Demon Essence Armor.

He could tell that this was a spirit armor, created with a spirit beast.

Spirit beasts were indeed not rare, but the technology in this regard was relatively rare.

The mainstream was spirit beasts, so development in this area was clamped, leading to the extreme scarcity of things like spirit armor and spirit weapons.

Because spirit beasts had their own selves, you had to feed them well if you treated them as tools, but if you treated them as things to be slaughtered at will, this matter caused quite a few disasters.

So the development related to spirit beasts progressed by leaps and bounds, but development using spirit beasts as materials, except for cultivation-related ones, didn't have much progress.

Under multiple factors, Yun Shan naturally wanted it, not to mention that this piece of spirit armor Chu Danqing gave was of superior quality and could be called worth a thousand gold.

Chu Danqing also saw the other party's thought and shoved the Moon Shadow Demon Essence Armor into the other party's arms: "One thing is one thing; since it's a purchase, how can there be no payment?"

Seeing this, Yun Shan hurriedly pushed it back; after going back and forth, he finally couldn't withstand Chu Danqing's enthusiasm and chose to accept it.

"Mr. Chu, I don't know when you plan to write a letter to Prince Ning to clarify that my Yun Mansion has no second heart." Yun Shan asked hurriedly.

Chu Danqing thought slightly and said: "This method of yours treats the symptoms but not the root cause; I plan to use a solution that can solve it once and for all."

His solution was naturally to kill Prince Ning.

But he had to wait until his mission was completed.

The top priority was... to refine the Concentric Lotus Seed first.

Refining didn't have much difficulty; after all, even local rascals and poor families could refine spirit beasts, which meant it was simple and easy to understand.

Chu Danqing's identity knowledge brought it with him.

It was just that he couldn't use it without the Purple Mansion talent, so it could only be classified as common knowledge.

But now it was different; with the Purple Mansion, it was much simpler.

The Purple Mansion reached a connection with the Concentric Lotus Seed under his control; because the Concentric Lotus Seed was just a plant-type spirit beast without a self, and was in a weak and dormant state, it was refined in an instant.

There was no difficulty at all.

【You used the talent Purple Mansion to refine the target object; the target object's self-will is being judged...】

【Judgment failed; the target object has no self】

【Attribute difference judgment begins...】

【Judgment successful; you have completed the refining and reached a contract】

【You have obtained a permanent summoned object: Concentric Lotus Seed】

A series of Paradise judgments took effect; the Concentric Lotus Seed was collected into the Purple Mansion and began to draw on Chu Danqing's vitality to recover.

However, this Concentric Lotus Seed seemed to be different from Da Bao, Da Bai, and Da Gu.

They were all two-part names and had names, but the Concentric Lotus Seed only had a species name.

Perhaps it was because the Concentric Lotus Seed had no self.

And even spirituality didn't seem to be able to save the Concentric Lotus Seed; spirituality had increased, but it didn't grant self-consciousness.

【Concentric Lotus Seed】

【Attributes】

【Life Value: 100%】

【Spirit Yuan Value: 1】

【Strength: 1】

【Agility: 1】

【Constitution: 1】

【Spirit: 1】

【Perception: 1】

【Spirituality: 30】

【Talent】

【Heart Field Spirit Object】

【Effect 1: Draw (Spirituality) points of life value from the apostle every minute as a vitality reserve; reserve limit: Apostle's maximum life value limit × 2】

【Skills】

【Concentric Life Protection (Passive) LV. MAX: When the apostle receives damage, it will consume the vitality stored by the lotus seed to offset the damage】

【Lotus Seed Heart Protection (Passive) LV. MAX: When the lotus seed's vitality reserve reaches the limit, the drawn life value will be converted into an equivalent shield; shield limit: Apostle's maximum life value limit × 10】

Chu Danqing opened the attribute panel; the good news was that whether it was talent or skills, it could be said to have filled his last short board.

As for the low value drawn every minute? This was basically a small matter; Chu Danqing even actively increased the threshold, controlling the Concentric Lotus Seed through the Purple Mansion to increase the drawing efficiency.

This was much more convenient than drawing blood; up to this point, the previous life value could always be saved at the 50% stage.

All passive skills that needed to reduce life value to take full effect reached their peak effect here.

Actually, most Concentric Lotus Seeds didn't have the Lotus Seed Heart Protection skill; his Concentric Lotus Seed belonged to the outstanding ones of the same species.

However, because it was in the lowest form, even an outstanding one wasn't very strong.

"Good news is good, but the bad news is bad; the five-dimensional attributes are all 1 point." Chu Danqing muttered.

The Purple Mansion only fed back 0.1 attributes to Chu Danqing, but it was better than nothing.

As for how to cultivate, Chu Danqing also had a clue.

Life-system resources.

He had ready-made ones, which was his life value.

30 points of life value per minute was too little; Chu Danqing just poured everything over 50% of his life value into the Concentric Lotus Seed through the Purple Mansion.

After the vitality reserve and shield value limit were reached, the subsequent life value overflow was locked by Chu Danqing in the Purple Mansion as a more suitable environment for the Concentric Lotus Seed to grow.

"It seems I have to ask Qianyuan to help find a spirit beast skill that compensates for the state decline caused by low life value." Chu Danqing didn't have 50% of his life value, and his state declined severely.

Fortunately, he didn't need to fight; uncomfortable was uncomfortable, but he could still endure it.

After he raised both reserves and array coordination to the full amount, he would restore his life value.

Afterwards, his gaze looked at the chain mission; this chain mission was already the last one.

Because the rewards had already appeared.

【Chain Mission Part 3: Kill an Anyong Dynasty Imperial Family Member】

【Trial Difficulty: B-Rank~S-Rank (Warrior~Nightmare)】

【Trial Reward: Obtain Purple Mansion Spirit Beast Evolution Atlas quality according to the status of the killed imperial family member】

【Trial Failure: None】

"The obsession of the Heaven-Pool Dragon's final part wants me to kill an imperial family member; doesn't this mean that Qianyuan's father's death is related to an Anyong Dynasty imperial family member?" Chu Danqing frowned.

The mission definitely didn't appear randomly, but would be related to the item itself.

"It seems I have to communicate with Qianyuan; he clearly doesn't know about this either." Chu Danqing muttered.

As for how to explain it, there was no need to explain it now; it wouldn't be too late to explain it after he returned to Paradise and summoned Yang Qianyuan.

Explaining it now had no meaning.

As long as the other party believed in him, they definitely wouldn't ask why.

"Speaking of which, wanting S-Rank, it wouldn't be asking me to kill the Emperor on the southern tour, right? After all, this thing is divided by status." Chu Danqing knew that if he wanted to talk about the imperial family member with the highest status, it was naturally the Emperor.

"It seems I can only shelve it for now."

"Finish the trial mission first." Chu Danqing naturally wanted the highest difficulty reward.

The ceiling and potential of the Concentric Lotus Seed were the lowest among all permanent summoned objects.

No bloodline, talent couldn't grow, and skills could only grow through the Concentric Lotus Seed's own growth if they had high compatibility.

Especially in terms of skills, because it was just a plant without a self, it couldn't cultivate actively, and active skills couldn't be used; however, it shouldn't be able to learn active skills either.

With a high-quality spirit beast atlas, the Concentric Lotus Seed could evolve into a better spirit beast variety to make up for the lack of its own ceiling and potential.

Because the rewards had already appeared.

【Chain Mission Stage 3: Kill a member of the Anyong Dynasty's imperial clan】

【Trial Difficulty: B-Rank to S-Rank (Warrior to Nightmare)】

【Trial Reward: Obtain the quality of the Purple Mansion Spirit Beast Evolution Chart based on the status of the killed imperial clansman】

【Trial Failure: None】

"The final stage of the Heavenly Pool Dragon's obsession wants me to kill an imperial clansman. Doesn't this mean that the death of Qianyuan's father is related to the Anyong Dynasty's imperial clan?" Chu Danqing frowned.

"Yes, yes, and the quality is complete and well-preserved." Yun Shan also saw Yang Qianyuan's thought, so he took the brocade box from Yun Jun's hand and placed it on Chu Danqing's table himself.

"This seed is spiritually elegant and naturally has one more defensive ability than other lotus seeds."

"Unfortunately, it has no spiritual intelligence, which is a pity." Yun Shan briefly stated the advantages and disadvantages.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 266 =====

As long as the other party trusted him, they certainly wouldn't ask why.

"Come to think of it, if I want an S-Rank, it wouldn't be asking me to kill the Emperor on his southern tour, would it? After all, this thing is classified by status." Chu Danqing knew that when it came to the highest-status imperial clansman, it naturally had to be the Emperor.

"It seems I can only shelve it for now."

"I'll complete the trial mission first." Chu Danqing naturally wanted the highest difficulty reward.

The upper limit and potential of the Heart-Linked Lotus seed are the lowest among all permanent summons.

It has no bloodline, its talents cannot grow, and only skills with a high degree of compatibility can grow through the Heart-Linked Lotus seed's own growth.

Especially in terms of skills, because it is just a plant without a self, it cannot actively cultivate, and active skills cannot be used—though it probably couldn't learn active skills anyway.

With a high-quality spirit beast chart, the Heart-Linked Lotus seed can evolve into a better spirit beast breed to make up for its deficiencies in upper limits and potential.
