"Ding Ling Ling... Ding Ling Ling..."
The carriage stopped and the coachman jumped off skillfully. He pulled the bell on the carriage and opened the door for Xia Pingan. "Sir, we have arrived..."
Xia Pingan got off the carriage and paid the fare. The coachman drove the carriage away.
The place where Xia Pingan got off was a town in the eastern suburbs of Shangjing City. The town was quite lively. Carriages came and went on the streets. They were all carriages that carried vegetables and goods from the south to the north. Out of the town and to the east, there were large tracts of farmland and farms. Many of the vegetables that the farmers planted in the fields would be sent to the city through the town.
With more carriages coming and going, there was more horse feces and urine on the asphalt road.
The atmosphere of the city and the countryside blended perfectly here.
It was noon. Under the rising sun, the town's roads were filled with the smell of horse dung, which was not pleasant. Beside the horse dung and urine, there were all kinds of small restaurants and snacks on the streets. Everyone was used to it.
The house here was neither too good nor too bad. It was quite a distance from the city, and the price was not expensive. Previously, Xia Pingan had asked an intermediary to find a place to live. It was in a half-new apartment building in the town.
Most of the people who lived in this town were locals of Shangjing City. Most of them were engaged in various small businesses.
After getting off the carriage, Xia Pingan only walked a few dozen meters before he arrived at his apartment building. It was a five-story building with brand-new gray walls. The apartment building was like a city wall on the side of the street. Its windows faced the street outside. Most of the people who rented this kind of small apartment were office workers and wage earners who worked in Shangjing City. There were also people who lived here with their families because it was cheap.
A few fruit sellers had set up a stall in front of the apartment building. The gatekeeper of the apartment building was playing chess with several old men. He did not even look at the people who came in and out of the apartment building.
Xia Pingan entered the apartment building and went up the stairs to the third floor.
On both sides of the corridor of the apartment building, there were piles of coals that looked like honeycombs. On the side of the apartment building's patio, there were a lot of clothes being hung up to dry.
There were coal deliverymen in black who were carrying coal. The aroma of fried rice wafted out from some apartments. There were also the sounds of men and women quarreling, and the cries of children …
The apartment building was filled with people, and it was filled with the aura of the marketplace.
Xia Pingan's rented room was Room 319. When he walked to the door, Xia Pingan looked around. Half of the space next to his door was taken up by the neighbor's pile of coal and a shoe cabinet. The neighbor's pile of things at the door had already crossed the center line and squeezed to his side. He remembered that the neighbor's house hadn't occupied this place yesterday. These two days, when he came back, he met the middle-aged couple a few times. When they saw that he, a young man who had just arrived in Shangjing, lived here, the neighbor began to take advantage of him.
Xia Pingan ignored them as he directly opened the door of his room and entered it before closing the door.
The small apartment of over 50 square meters only had a living room and a bedroom. In a corner of the living room, there was an iron stove for burning coal. A sand-iron chimney was connected to the iron stove and connected to the outside. The iron stove was in the kitchen. The bedroom was in the living room, and there was a small bathroom beside it. The furniture in the room were ready-made and a bit old.
After living here for a few days, Xia Pingan realized that he might have been cheated by the agent and the landlord of the broker house. Seeing that he had just arrived in Shangjing City and was unfamiliar with the place, the broker house and the landlord jointly raised the rent by a lot. Actually, the small apartment in the suburbs of Shangjing City didn't cost that much.
The face of that elder of Tang Family was still floating in front of Xia Pingan's eyes. However, at this moment, Xia Pingan could only stay calm. He had to advance to the next level first. If he was not strong enough, he would be courting death.
Xia Pingan pulled up the curtain in the room. After that, he waved his hand, causing two elite slave soldiers and a Black Dragon to appear in the room. One of the two elite slave soldiers guarded the door of the apartment while the other guarded the window. The Black Dragon wagged its tail and followed Xia Pingan into the bedroom.
They were the protectors that Xia Pingan found for him when he was fusing with his realm bead. After a while, Xia Pingan didn't want to be interrupted when he was fusing with his realm bead. That would be dangerous. For summoners, they couldn't be disturbed when they were fusing with their realm beads. Because summoners didn't have any defensive ability at that time.
When he arrived at the bedroom, the Black Dragon obediently lay at the door. Xia Pingan directly took out the black box from the spatial warehouse and opened the third layer of the box.
Two realm beads, two spiritual sense crystals, and a bottle of One Yang Realm Divine Spring were in the box. Xia Pingan looked at the two realm beads. After thinking for a while, he picked up the Divine Power Realm Bead and the spiritual sense crystal that flashed with the two words "Xun Xi".
Xun Xi was no stranger to Xia Pingan. Xun Xi, surnamed Ji, was from the Yuan Clan, and his name was An. He was the first prime minister recorded in the history of the Spring and Autumn Jin Kingdom. Xun Xi was an amazing person. He had left behind many allusions in history. He was as dangerous as a pile of eggs. The idiom "destroying a country by false means" was left behind by him. He was both capable and loyal.
He was a prime minister. This Divine Power Realm Bead was very ordinary. There was no difficulty in fusing with it. However, what made Xia Pingan curious was how the spiritual sense crystal could help summoners fuse with realm beads.
It was said that this spiritual sense crystal was dug out from underground. It was even more magical that there were mineral veins.
In this world, the value of the spiritual sense crystal was even higher than the realm beads.
After recalling the process of using the spiritual sense crystal and realm beads together, Xia Pingan took out a silver needle from the spatial warehouse and pricked his finger. He first dripped a drop of blood onto the realm bead. Then, he dripped another drop of blood onto the realm bead.
Then, he dripped another drop of blood onto the realm bead. Just like before, the realm bead instantly absorbed the drop of blood and started to glow. The moment the spiritual sense crystal came into contact with the drop of blood, it started to soften and melt. Finally, it turned into a flowing ball of light and was absorbed by the realm bead.
The light emitted by the realm bead quickly enveloped Xia Pingan. Xia Pingan's entire body quickly turned into a cocoon of light.
…
Xia Pingan opened his eyes and found himself kneeling in a study. In front of him, there was a table. On the table, there were rolls of documents made of bamboo.
A middle-aged man wearing a dark red robe with narrow sleeves, a jade belt around his waist, and a crown on his head with tassels hanging down on both sides of his crown was sitting in front of him with a frown. He was talking to him. "Rumor has it that the rumors are spreading.
Some commoners outside the city are worried about being forcibly conscripted into hard labor and have already fled with their families. The other ministers in the imperial court are worried but don't dare to advise the King. That day, the King was bewitched by the traitor Tu Anjia in the palace. The King said that the King could show the might of Jin Country by building the Qiongtai Pavilion. The King even recruited two god-like archers by his side. He said that the King must build the Qiongtai Pavilion. If anyone dared to object, he would order the archers by his side to shoot an arrow into that person's mouth and kill him. Now, the other ministers don't dare to open their mouths. Duke Duan specially asked me to ask for your opinion and hope that you can think of a way to persuade the King … "
'It's really as dangerous as a tired egg,' Xia Pingan thought the moment he heard that person's words.
Jin Country had reached its peak under Duke Wen of Jin's leadership and had achieved hegemony. However, when it came to Duke Ling of Jin's time, Duke Ling of Jin's incompetence and arrogance, indulgence, and extravagance, Jin Country's national strength had declined.
However, hadn't the Divine Perception Crystal fused? Why did it feel like it was fusing with the Realm Pearl? If he went to see Duke Wen of Jin now, he might be shot to death by that incapable ruler.
Xia Pingan was puzzled as he listened to the person opposite him.
Just as Xia Pingan was guessing how the Divine Perception Crystal could allow a summoner to successfully fuse with the Realm Pearl, he suddenly saw rows of golden words appear in the void in front of him.
Those golden words were words that summoners could understand and were not in Xiaozhuan.
'Duke Ling of Jin built the Qiongtai Pavilion at a cost of thousands of gold. He said, "Anyone who dares to advise will be beheaded!" When Xun Xi heard this, he wrote a letter asking for an audience. Duke Ling of Jin's crossbow was drawn. He said, "I don't dare to advise. I can tire out twelve chess pieces, plus nine chicken pieces. "The Duke said," The chess pieces were made by me. " Xun Xi adjusted his color and determined his will. He placed the chess pieces, plus nine chicken pieces, left and right fearful. Duke Ling of Jin's breath stopped. The Duke said, "Danger! Danger! "Xun Xi said," This danger is not dangerous. There will be another danger. "The Duke said," I am willing to see it. " Xun Xi said, "If the Qiongtai Pavilion is not completed in three years, the men will not plough, the women will not weave, the country will be empty, the neighboring countries will be prosperous, and the country will be destroyed. What hope does the ruler have?" The Duke Ling said, "This is my fault!"
…
Only Xia Pingan could see the words that appeared in the void. The person sitting in front of him was still talking and did not notice anything strange.
Xia Pingan finally understood how the Divine Perception Crystal allowed a summoner to fuse with the Realm Pearl.
To a certain extent, the Divine Perception Crystal was equivalent to directly announcing the answer to the challenge. If a summoner was still unable to successfully fuse with the Realm Pearl, then other than incompetence and stupidity, there was no other explanation.
If the Realm Pearl was successfully fused, everyone would forget everything that happened during the process of fusion because of the mystery of the Realm Pearl. Therefore, no one knew how the Divine Perception Crystal affected a summoner's fusion with the Realm Pearl.
—
"Tell Duke Duan that I will enter the palace tomorrow and advise the King to give up on building the Qiongtai Pavilion!" Xia Pingan said to the person in front of him.
"Thank you, Duke Duan!" The person in front of him bowed to Xia Pingan and then left.
After that person left, Xia Pingan thought for a while and asked the attendant outside to bring him a board of chess pieces and a few dozen eggs. He wanted to practice at home first.
On the second day, Xia Pingan went to the palace to see Duke Duan Ling. Everything was as Xia Pingan expected. After seeing Xia Pingan's acrobatics with chess pieces and eggs, Duke Duan Ling finally realized how unreliable it was to build the Nine-Tiered Qiongtai Pavilion after Xia Pingan's advice. Duke Duan Ling, who was afraid that it would cause a great change, finally gave up the plan of wasting manpower and money to build the Nine-Tiered Qiongtai Pavilion.
The fusion with the Divine Perception Realm Pearl was successful.
…
In the bedroom, Xia Pingan soon opened his eyes and started to fuse with the second Realm Pearl.
Since he already knew how the Divine Perception Crystal worked, he did not use the precious Divine Perception Crystal for the second Realm Pearl. Instead, he started to fuse with the Realm Pearl directly.
The fusion with the second Realm Pearl was even easier. Even a primary school student could do it. It was just the story of Tian Ji's horse racing. However, in this story, Xia Pingan had to play the role of Sun Bin.
