Chapter 288
288 The potential of the realm Pearl
These two little thieves did not even know what kind of place Shangjing was. They actually dared to have ideas about him. Now that Shangjing was lacking Summoners to do hard labor, since they had come to him, Xia Pingan would fulfill their wishes.
Xia Pingan naturally accepted the 20 to 30 gold coins that the two of them had on them.
The cold fire and autumn smoke in Duke of Zhou tower formed a sharp contrast with the liveliness of carefree tower.
The passing pedestrians would occasionally take a look, but the ” hundred gold unravel dreams, no bargaining ” sign at the entrance of the Duke of Zhou building was enough to scare people away.
Xia Pingan walked into the building of the Duke of Zhou. The woman who was guarding the store was so bored that she was about to doze off. When she saw Xia Pingan return, the woman stood up in a panic. However, she accidentally dropped a book that had been placed on her knee on the ground.
Xia Pingan looked at the book. It seemed to be a very popular fantasy novel in the great Shang kingdom. This was what ordinary people used to pass time.
“Greetings, young master!” The woman was embarrassed and slightly flustered.
According to the rules, she had failed in her duty. If she were to read books in the palace and the female officials in charge saw it, it would be a serious crime.
“Uh, if you’re tired, go rest. We can close early today!” Xia Pingan smiled and pointed to an empty space in the front hall. I’m going to put a bookshelf here. You can go and pick one tomorrow and buy some books you like. When guests come, you can let them read while they wait here. You can read more on a regular basis to facilitate communication with them. Hmm, let’s do it according to the budget of 50 gold coins, Yingying. as Xia Pingan spoke, he took out a Gold Note worth 50 gold coins and placed it on the table.
The woman knew that Xia Pingan was giving her a way out so that she wouldn’t be so bored here. In the future, she would be able to watch the shop and read novels openly.
“Many thanks, young master!” The woman covered her mouth and laughed. She wasn’t as nervous as before, and her eyes were full of life. our miss Wanwan actually treats us very well too. She doesn’t have so many rules and is just like young master. The two of you are quite good-looking!
Alright, you can just say that your miss and I are a match made in heaven!
“By the way, what’s your name?” Xia Pingan asked.
“I’m called Xiao die!”
“Xiao die, then there’s nothing else for today. We can close early!”
“Yes!”
After Xia Pingan gave his instructions, he entered the inner hall and summoned an elite slave soldier to guard the outside. Then, he entered the underground secret room and prepared to merge with the realm bead.
The eight realm pearls today made Xia ping ‘an extremely excited.
When they arrived at the secret underground room, Xia Pingan sat cross-legged on the soft couch and rubbed his hands. Then, he took out all eight realm beads and placed them in a row in front of him.
He took out the eight realm beads-Lu ban’s saw-making, justice before family, Gan Luo’s worship, playing sword and singing, Xue state’s justice, cunning rabbit with Three Burrows, Tao Kan, and the abandoned Emperor of song’s Pig King title.
The eight realm beads were of different colors, and they shone with a deep glow in the dark secret room. In Xia ping ‘an’s eyes, they were extremely cute.
Xia Pingan went from easy to difficult. He picked up the realm Pearl made by Lu Ban and began to drip his blood on it.
In the blink of an eye, Xia ping ‘an was wrapped in a green cocoon of light. However, the cocoon of light did not last long. In less than five minutes, the cocoon of light shattered and Xia ping’ an opened his eyes. The realm Pearl had been successfully integrated.
Lu Ban, who was in the realm Pearl, went to the mountains to cut trees. He did not expect to have his finger cut by a leaf with a saw. Lu Ban was inspired by the saw-like shape of the leaf and made a saw after he went back, making it easier to cut down trees and process wood.
Xia ping ‘an created a saw and sawed off a section of the tree trunk. This realm Pearl was successfully fused. The realm Pearl’s world shattered, leaving Xia ping’ an with no chance to create anything else to try and break through.
Lu ban’s saw only gave Xia ping ‘an 10 points of divine power in addition to the ability to summon the saw. After the fusion, Xia ping’ an’s Secret altar’s winning limit was 4065 points.
After that, Xia ping ‘an fused with the realm Pearl,’ placing righteousness before family’.
The story of placing righteousness before family was also very simple, and many people were familiar with it. This story was about the fourth year of Duke Yin of Lu, the state of Wei’s doctor, Shi gan, killed Duke Huan of Wei, who established Zhou Hu, and had to kill his own son, shi hou, who followed Zhou Hu.
In the world of the realm bead, Xia ping ‘an became the state doctor of Wei, Shi puppet. Then, step by step, they fused perfectly. When the cocoon of light on Xia ping’ an’s body shattered, it took less than 20 minutes. This divine power realm bead gave Xia ping ‘an 30 points of divine power.
The three realm pearls, ” playing the sword and composing a song “, ” Xue Guoshi “, and ” a cunning rabbit with Three Burrows ” were all about the story of Meng Changjun’s hanger-on, Feng Rao. Feng Rao could be regarded as the representative of the hanger-ons of that era. It was easy for the three realm pearls to merge. Xia Pingan did not stop there and completely merged the three realm pearls of divine power. The entire process only took him more than 40 minutes.
The three divine power Beads gave Xia ping ‘an 90 points of divine power. After fusing with the three beads, Xia ping’ an’s upper limit of divine power reached 4185 points.
Every time his divine power increased, Xia ping ‘an’s body would also get a chance to be empowered by divine power. Through this process, Xia ping’ an’s physique would unconsciously improve a little. This was the strength of a Summoner.
The sixth realm Pearl that Xia Pingan had fused with was the Tao Kan realm Pearl.
Tao Kan was a famous official in the East Jin Dynasty. In that era, the aristocrats were free and unrestrained. All the so-called famous scholars were proud of being independent. Tao Kan’s down-to-earth style was a real refreshing style.
Tao Kan had done a lot of things, but when the summoner introduced that this realm Pearl could use divine power to ” refine earth into bricks “, Xia Pingan was a little speechless. Tao Kan had formed an affinity with bricks because Tao Kan wanted to train his body and will. He was also considerate of the people and did not want to waste money and food. Thus, he made a pile of the cheapest bricks in his own place and moved them around every day.
Since ancient times, Tao Kan was considered the first among the famous people who moved bricks.
Other than moving bricks, Tao Kan had actually done many other things. Xia Pingan did not understand why this realm Pearl only provided one spell. Was it because the time in the realm Pearl was too short, and the realm Pearl shattered as soon as he moved the bricks? Or did the others not know that Tao Kan could make other achievements?
If the latter was the reason, the biggest possibility was that the spiritual will crystal that had fused with this realm Pearl might not know as much as he did. Therefore, the result was that the person who had fused with the spiritual will crystal only knew how to carry bricks and did not know anything else. In the end, he only received one spell technique.
It was definitely possible. In Xia ping ‘an’s opinion, the things recorded in the so-called spiritual crystal were not perfect.
perhaps this realm Pearl can try to make a breakthrough on its own and see what the limit of this realm Pearl is? ” Xia Pingan held the realm Pearl of Tao Kan, his eyes flashing as he muttered to himself. Then, he began to merge.
As Xia Pingan dripped his blood again to fuse with it, Xia Pingan was surrounded by a colorful cocoon of light in the secret room.
……
Xia ping ‘an opened his eyes and found himself sitting in a carriage. The carriage was traveling on the road outside the city. Behind his carriage, there was a group of soldiers riding horses. This entourage was the provincial governor’s Honor Guard. They were surrounded by people in front and behind, making them look very majestic.
The scorching sun hung high above their heads, and cicadas could be heard everywhere on the road.
There was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road. When they saw the provincial governor’s convoy, they all saluted with their eyes.
It was already the end of summer, and the convoy was traveling outside the city. Along the way, they could see the rice fields on the roadside. The rice in the rice fields were growing well and had already borne ears.
If an ordinary person were to fuse with this realm Pearl and see such a scene, they would definitely not feel anything. They might not even know where they were. However, when Xia Pingan saw the unripened rice by the roadside, his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered something that Tao Kan had once done.
Would a person holding a ear of rice appear on the road?
As Xia Pingan said this in his heart, he couldn’t help but look at the side of the road outside the carriage. The carriage was moving on the road when suddenly, a figure came into Xia Pingan’s view. It was a pedestrian on the road. The man was a man in his thirties. As he walked, he held a handful of unripened ears of rice in his hand.
F * ck, it’s you!
When the fleet of cars reached the man, Xia Pingan suddenly shouted, ” stop the car!
Tao Kan’s voice was deep and authoritative. The moment he said the word “stop,” the carriage came to a halt.
Xia Pingan got out of the car.
When the people on the roadside saw Xia Pingan get out of the car, they were all shocked.
Xia ping ‘an alighted from the carriage and went straight to the man who was holding a bunch of ears of rice in his hand.
C-provincial governor, Your Excellency! that man was petrified as he didn’t understand why the provincial governor stopped the car and directly walked in front of him.
“Where did you get the ear of rice in your hand?” Xia Pingan asked the man directly.
“I saw it on the road just now, so I grabbed it!” That guy answered honestly with a flurried look.
There were paddy fields by the side of the road. That person was unlucky. As he walked, he grabbed a handful of rice ears and threw them around in his hands.
Xia ping ‘an was furious. She pointed at the man’s nose and scolded, ” bastard, the ear of rice in your hand is not fully grown yet. Other people worked hard to plant the rice, and you took it without telling them. What’s the difference between you and a thief? for the ear of rice to grow so big, it needs manpower to cultivate it. It needs rain and dew, and the soil to be fertile to grow. A single grain of rice is the creation of heaven, earth, and man. You destroyed it so easily and wasted other people’s hard work and food. Do you know how many people starved to death because they couldn’t eat enough? men, come! Tie him up!”
A few Wolf-like followers came over and directly tied up the guy who was so scared that his face turned pale.
That guy thought he was going to be beheaded and almost peed his pants.
let’s use a whip to crack him. Xia Pingan stretched out his hand, and someone took a whip. Xia Pingan took the whip and gave that person more than ten lashes. He did not use any force, but only made that person suffer a bit. He was whipped until tears and snot flowed down his face. He cried for his father and mother, loudly admitted his mistake, and said that he did not dare to do so. Only then did he stop.
When the commoners on the road saw the provincial governor whipping people on the road for an unripe ear of rice, they all cried out in praise.
After giving the man a good beating, Xia Pingan ordered his men to let him go and got back into the car.
……
After going through such an incident, Xia ping ‘an was certain that the ” potential ” of this realm Pearl might not have been fully discovered by the people who had fused with it before.
When the carriages returned to the provincial governor’s manor, they saw that the backyard was ” empty ” with only flowers and plants and no training equipment. Xia Pingan immediately ordered someone to bring a cart of bricks and put them in front of his study room in the backyard of the provincial governor’s manor. Then, every morning, the cart of bricks would be moved from the study room to the garden. In the evening, the bricks would be moved from the garden to the study room.
In just a few days, the news that the provincial governor liked to carry bricks had spread throughout the city.
……
In the backroom, over an hour later, the colorful cocoon disappeared while Xia Pingan’s body started to make cracking sounds. Xia Pingan opened his eyes with sparkling eyes and revealed a smile unconsciously.
At this moment, in the hieron of Xia Pingan’s Secret mandala, there was a new sculpture of Tao Kan. Besides the classical story of Tao Kan moving bricks, there were some other classical stories in the iron sculpture, such as the bricks, whips, wood chips and bamboo heads in the sculpture, which were all glittering.
As expected, this realm Pearl did not only provide one spell technique, but a total of four. Other than the spell technique of ” refine earth into bricks, ” this realm Pearl also provided three other secret techniques. What made Xia Pingan the happiest was that this realm Pearl could actually allow him to summon a long whip.
The long whip was Xia ping ‘an’s favorite weapon. Because Tao Kan cherished the valley, he had beaten up the person who had grabbed the ear of rice by the roadside. He did not expect that he could actually summon a long whip.
The other two spells were very special. They were not ordinary summoning spells, but spells that could be cast by Summoners. When casting, they needed wood chips or bamboo heads as props to cast the spell.
Interesting, this realm Pearl was too interesting.
This realm Pearl of Tao Kan had also increased Xia Pingan’s divine power by 80 points.
He had earned big!
……
Thinking of the long whip that could be summoned by this realm Pearl, Xia Pingan did not hesitate at all. He immediately consumed 36 points of divine power and with a wave of his hand, a long black whip appeared in Xia Pingan’s hand.
This long whip was a little longer than the ” Black Cobra ” that Xia Pingan had used previously. It was heavy in his hand and was also a metal whip. The body of the whip was interlocked and the whip was slightly like a rice ear. On the handle of the whip, there were three small words ” Sancai whip “.
The feeling of holding the whip in his hand was indescribable. It was as if his hand had become one with Xia Pingan’s.
As soon as Xia Pingan’s hand moved slightly, the black whip whizzed out of the secret room, leaving several snake-shaped whips in the air. The speed of the whip broke through the sound barrier in an instant and exploded in the air, causing the entire secret underground room to rumble.
Not bad, not bad!
After two whips, the feeling of using a whip came back, and Xia Pingan was in a good mood.
There were still two realm pearls left. Just as Xia ping ‘an was about to fuse them, his brows twitched and he stopped. With a wave of his hand, Xia ping’ an kept the remaining two realm pearls into his spatial warehouse.
After doing all this, Xia Pingan continued to sit cross-legged, pretending to be cultivating.
A minute later, on one of the walls of the underground secret room, a faint shadow-like figure suddenly emerged from behind the wall and pounced towards Xia Pingan. With a cold glint in his hand, he aimed for Xia Pingan’s throat.
