he didn’t have enough time or Paradise Points to upgrade them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way to the Ji residence, Chu Danqing encountered Apostles such as Tie Yan and Han Ying, who had joined the Taiping Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from Tie Yan, the rest were lowest-rank followers, handing out talisman water to common folk on the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Yan was likely completing his final contribution task; the others were still on their identity quests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for that bald-headed youth, Chu Danqing hadn’t seen him—he probably joined the official camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Taiping Dao had the lowest entry threshold and easiest advancement, but severe limitations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The official camp’s entry threshold was higher than the Taiping Dao’s but lower than the Lu clan’s, yet promotion was the hardest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the capable might never rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lu clan had plenty of problems too; it was no use blaming one while ignoring the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing had no conflicts with the other Apostles; everyone was busy, and few were foolish enough to act without direct personal gain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Ying of the Longhu Alliance was somewhat resentful, but he dared not act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Bao’s strength could easily tear him into shreds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ji residence arrived soon; Chu Danqing asked the gatekeeper to deliver his message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gatekeeper, seeing Chu Danqing ride in a Lu clan carriage, bowed respectfully and relayed the matter upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yun rushed out immediately to greet him, smiling as he ushered Chu Danqing inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing knew Ji Yun’s status—he was middle-aged but not the Ji family’s head; that was his father, Ji Zhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I never imagined the righteous one had become a guest-sponsor of the Lu clan—truly remarkable,” Ji Yun remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lu clan had only six guest-sponsors before; he had visited them all and recognized them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Merely fortunate timing,” Chu Danqing replied humbly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not right—the Lu clan’s guest-sponsors all possess real ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too bad I missed you then; otherwise I’d have invited you into our Ji residence first,” Ji Yun sighed regretfully; such talent would be a great asset to his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too late now—he knew how good the Lu clan’s guest-sponsor benefits were, and he couldn’t afford the cost of poaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today I’ve come to purchase grain from the Ji family,” Chu Danqing said bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yun wasn’t surprised by this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much do you need?” Ji Yun didn’t accept or refuse, but asked the quantity first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m purchasing on behalf of the Lu clan,” Chu Danqing didn’t hide it: “How much can your family sell?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Had anyone else from the Lu clan come, I wouldn’t sell a single grain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These grain supplies are destined for the government, for disaster relief.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If they leak out, you know the consequences,” Ji Yun was willing to sell only because of the debt of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can give the Lu clan no more than a thousand shi, five hundred coins per shi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yun gave his price: fifty thousand coins total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing had calculated the price beforehand; before the disaster, one shi of grain fluctuated around fifty coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Ji Yun had raised it only tenfold—quite generous, practically a discount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d expected it to cost over a thousand coins per shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you,” Chu Danqing felt a surge of joy—once this thousand shi arrived, the contribution for White Crane Immortal’s Manuscript would surely be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing estimated one shi equaled about a hundred jin, so a thousand shi was fifty tons of grain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This suggested the Ji residence had transported grain to Yangxian Commandery multiple times; otherwise, they wouldn’t have surplus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they might still be doing so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the fifty-thousand-coin price? That wasn’t Chu Danqing’s concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t worry the Lu clan would complain about the high unit price—in this era, even with money, such bulk grain was unobtainable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ji family publicly served the government, earning only transportation fees, daring not to overcharge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need for thanks,” Ji Yun said lightly. “You came to negotiate; I couldn’t refuse you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he said that, Chu Danqing suspected the Ji family had hoarded much grain during this opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting for the right moment to release it onto the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He treated Chu Danqing well only because Chu Danqing had saved his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If another Dimension Apostle had come, he wouldn’t even have been let inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll return first to have the Lu clan prepare the money before coming back for delivery,” Chu Danqing said, his goal achieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thousand shi was but a drop in the bucket of this disaster, but sufficient for the Lu clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since the righteous one has come all this way, I must properly entertain you,” Ji Yun insisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Chu Danqing refused repeatedly, Ji Yun sighed: “When you have free time, I’ll sweep the bed and welcome you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this grain transaction, Chu Danqing would never return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The debt of life was repaid—what face would he have to come begging again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no time for idle chatter or sightseeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yun rose to see him off; as they reached the garden corridor, they met Ji Yun’s father, Ji Zhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore lavish, extravagant clothing, adorned with so many ornaments and trinkets they overwhelmed his frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weight of these items forced him to be supported just to walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard the righteous one who saved my son has come to visit; I dressed up properly to meet you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I arrived late—please forgive me,” Ji Zhen’s tone carried gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chu Danqing’s expression hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I dare not,” Chu Danqing bowed: “I have one question, though I’m unsure whether I should ask.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please speak,” Ji Zhen was puzzled but, as a guest, gave full courtesy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I ask, Master Ji, when did you develop this fondness for lavish attire?” Chu Danqing asked bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s been some time,” Ji Yun answered for his father: “Righteous one, is something wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Around the time Lu San died?” Chu Danqing named the date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Slightly off, but I truly began appreciating the beauty of such attire during that period,” Ji Zhen touched his garments, his face filled with obsession and intoxication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This preference of Ji Zhen meant nothing to the Ji family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing’s heart sank—the matter had grown complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have either of you heard of the Three Corpses?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1151,"2026-06-20T00:54:40.605Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8ca23d79fb1bab5c5237be8385e514e39b3cafdd4ea75f0acb6353184327dbfa","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-39","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-37",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-cover.jpg"]
