The speed at which Xia Pingan fused with realm pearls was simply unheard of …
When he walked to the basement, Xia Pingan estimated that he would be able to officially advance to the Three Suns Realm in half a month at most.
However, in the past half a month, as more and more Realm Pearls fused, a new problem gradually arose. That was, Xia Pingan discovered that the Realm Pearls that he could buy at a relatively cheap price from the Heavenly Origin Bridge Night Vision and that he had not fused with before were getting fewer and fewer.
Yes, there were only so many realm pearls that were commonly seen. The more realm pearls one fused with, the fewer realm pearls one could fuse with.
Even if some realm pearls had not been fused with before, their prices were simply too exaggerated. Even if Xia Pingan knew how to fuse with them, the realm pearls that cost thousands of gold coins or even tens of thousands of gold coins were not cost-effective at all.
Not only that, Xia Pingan discovered that after the Blood Demon Church was wiped out in Shang Jing City on the 15th, the realm pearls sold in the Tianyuan Bridge's night market had unknowingly increased in price. In less than half a month, the realm pearls in the night market, whether it was in the shops or the bounty hunters' stalls, had increased in price by more than 20% …
The realm pearls were increasing in price. The rice, flour, oil, and other daily necessities in Shang Jing City had also fluctuated slightly in the past half a month, but it was not obvious.
According to the newspaper, the reason for the increase in price of realm pearls was that the northern border of the Shang Dynasty was not very stable. A few large tribes of the northern demon wolf race showed signs of moving southward. Some groups and organizations that caught wind of this began to hoard realm pearls — this was an old trick. As long as there was any movement and the situation became tense, people would begin to hoard realm pearls, rice, and other things.
According to some bounty hunters in the night market, for some unknown reason, the number of demons appearing in Shang Jing City's outer sea and underground began to decrease in the past month. Once the number of demons decreased, the number of realm pearls appearing in the market also began to decrease, and the price naturally began to increase.
The bounty hunters did not know why the number of demons appearing in the outer sea and underground decreased because this situation was very abnormal and did not happen often.
In short, something seemed to be wrong …
Xia Pingan keenly felt the undercurrent under Shang Jing City's calm situation.
Xia Pingan went to the basement and sat down cross-legged. Then, he took out a Realm Pearl that was flashing with a faint purple brilliance.
Xia Pingan had bought this Realm Pearl for more than 800 gold coins at the night market yesterday. The seller of the Realm Pearl said that this Realm Pearl was the "Divine Skill Realm Pearl". The so-called "Divine Skill Realm Pearl" was a Realm Pearl that could allow a summoner to master some special skills after fusing with it. The "Divine Skill Realm Pearl" would not allow a summoner to develop a new profession, nor would it allow a summoner to summon any characters or spells. It would only allow a summoner to master some special skills that could be performed with divine power.
This Realm Pearl was called the "Lotus Realm Pearl by Steps" among the Summoners. After the successful fusion, the skill he gave to the Summoners was a kind of Lotus Steps that could be performed with divine power. One step, one lotus flower. Whether it was used for fighting, escaping at critical moments, or avoiding various attacks, it was a first-class powerful skill.
Without the cooperation of the spiritual crystal, the death rate of fusing with this Realm Pearl was more than 90%. It was just that the spiritual crystal of this Realm Pearl was very rare, so the Realm Pearl was sold at such a "cheap" price.
After dripping blood, Xia Pingan was quickly wrapped in a cocoon of light and entered the world of the Realm Pearl.
…
As soon as Xia Pingan opened his eyes, he saw that he was in a hall. Around the hall, there were strong guards who were eyeing him covetously.
A man wearing a dragon robe and an emperor's crown on his head, with a hawk-like nose and wolf-like eyes, sat on the throne and stared at him coldly. Several eunuchs in the hall were also quietly looking at him with complicated expressions.
The hall was silent. The atmosphere was oppressive, and killing intent was surging.
"Fourth Younger Brother, everyone in the world says that you're the most talented among all the brothers in the Cao Clan except for our father …" The man sitting on the throne opened his mouth with a malicious smile, "I haven't heard Fourth Younger Brother compose a poem for a long time. How about Fourth Younger Brother compose a poem for me with the title 'Brothers'? Based on Fourth Younger Brother's talent, it shouldn't take you too long to compose a poem. It should be done within seven steps. If Fourth Younger Brother composes a poem well, I will reward you. If not, Fourth Younger Brother would be disdained to compose a poem for me, which would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. I can only let Fourth Younger Brother walk on the chopping block!"
Xia Pingan looked up at the repulsive Cao Pi and sighed inwardly. This Cao Pi, in order to inherit Cao Cao's foundation, began to kill his own brothers as soon as Cao Cao passed away. He was really unscrupulous. Back then, when Cao Ang was still alive, this Cao Pi had absolutely no hope of inheriting Cao Cao's great cause, nor did he dare to have any ideas. However, when Cao Ang died, this Cao Pi jumped out.
Back then, after Cao Ang died, Cao Chong was Cao Cao's favorite son. Then, Cao Chong died mysteriously. Now, Cao Pi wanted to kill him, forcing Cao Xiong to hang himself and seize Cao Zhang's military power. Next year, in order to show his magnanimity, Cao Zhang would be promoted to a duke. The year after that, Cao Zhang would come to Luoyang to meet Cao Pi again. Then, Cao Zhang, who had been strong since childhood and could fight with fierce beasts, inexplicably died of an illness in Luoyang.
Cao Pi killed all his brothers, thinking that he could protect his position. However, he didn't know that his' good friend 'Sima Yi, whom he had tried his best to protect, was waiting for him to do so. In the end, Cao Pi was only a dowry for Sima Yi.
Was Sima Yi encouraging Cao Pi to eliminate his brothers by hook or by crook? Was she borrowing Cao Pi's hand to eliminate the power of the Cao family? This question was probably only known by Cao Pi and Sima Yi.
Cao Cao was the Minister of Han, but he held the Emperor and ordered his vassals to seize the world of the Great Han. However, in the end, the heavens gave Cao Cao a son, Cao Pi. The world that Cao Cao had worked hard to seize was given away by the prodigal Cao Pi after his death. The heavens were clear. It was truly frightening.
Xia Pingan estimated the distance between himself and Cao Pi. He wondered what would happen if he suddenly killed Cao Pi at this time.
At this moment, he was only about ten steps away from Cao Pi. If he walked seven steps, he would be less than ten steps away from Cao Pi. If he suddenly attacked …
Xia Pingan deliberated in his heart. He looked at Cao Zhi's thin arms and legs and sighed. Forget it. The reward for changing history was indeed tempting. However, the risk this time was too great, and the benefits were uncertain. If he made a mistake, he might die. It was better to be safe.
"Cao Zhi will naturally obey Your Majesty's orders!" Xia Pingan shook his head and began to take a step forward. He began to compose a poem. His clear voice resounded through the hall.
"Boil beans and hold them as soup. Soak them as juice. Soak them in the cauldron. Beans weep in the cauldron. Born from the same roots, why be in such a rush to destroy each other? "
One step, one line. He finished composing six lines before taking the seventh step …
…
In the outer hall of the Duke of Zhou's Building, Caocao was like the 'front desk' of this place. She propped her chin up with both hands and stared impatiently at the entrance. Her eyes were about to fall asleep from staring, but no one appeared.
It was almost noon. Just as Caocao's stomach began to growl and she began to miss Xia Pingan's cooking and thought that no one would come, a thirty-something year old man with a resolute face and a noble temperament calmly walked in from behind a screen. He held a folding fan in his hand and was accompanied by an old man in green.
The man who walked in was the crown prince of the Shang Dynasty, Beitang Wang Chuan.
When Caocao saw Beitang Wang Chuan, a trace of shock and guilt appeared on her face. She even tilted her head and glanced at the inner hall. She hurriedly walked over from behind the table and quietly said, "Eldest brother, why have you come?"
Beitang Wang Chuan looked at everything in the room. He then looked at Caocao's face, "I heard concubine mother say that you were not in the palace these few days and ran out to cause trouble, so I came to take a look!"
Caocao stuck out her tongue. She then rudely pushed Beitang Wang Chuan towards the door, "How am I causing trouble? I have found a job now. Elder brother, leave quickly. Don't affect my work …"
Beitang Wang Chuan stood motionless like a rock. He only smiled and said, "I am also a guest. You are working here. How can you push a guest out? Are you not afraid that I will complain to your shopkeeper?"
