These two little thieves, they didn't even know what kind of place Shangjing City was. How dare they scheme against him. Shangjing City was currently in need of summoners to do manual labor. Since they had offered themselves to him, Xia Pingan would fulfill their wishes.
Xia Pingan naturally accepted the twenty to thirty gold coins that the two of them had with them.
Duke of Zhou's Building was a stark contrast to Carefree Restaurant's liveliness.
Passersby would occasionally take a look, but the signboard at the entrance of Duke of Zhou's Building that read "A hundred gold coins for a dream, no bargaining" was enough to scare people away.
Xia Pingan walked into Duke of Zhou's Building. The woman guarding the shop was so bored that she was about to doze off. Seeing Xia Pingan return, the woman stood up in a fluster. However, she accidentally dropped the book that she had placed on her knees.
Xia Pingan looked at the book. It seemed to be a ghost novel that was popular in the Shang Dynasty. This was something that ordinary people used to pass time.
"Greetings, Young Master!" The woman was embarrassed and slightly flustered.
According to the rules, she had neglected her duty. If she were to be seen reading in the palace by the female officials in charge, it would be a serious crime.
"Eh, if you're tired, go take a rest. We can close the shop earlier today!" Xia Pingan smiled and pointed to an empty space in the front hall. "I'm going to put a bookshelf here. You can choose a bookshelf tomorrow and buy some books that you like. When customers come, you can let them read while they wait here. You can also read more during normal times so that it's convenient for you to communicate with customers. Hmm, let's use the budget of fifty gold coins …" As Xia Pingan spoke, he took out a golden banknote worth fifty 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 could stay in the shop and read novels openly.
"Thank you, Young Master!" The woman covered her mouth and smiled. She wasn't that nervous anymore and her eyes were filled with vigor. "Our … Miss is actually very good to us. She doesn't have so many rules, just like Young Master. The two of you are quite … alike!"
Alright, you might as well say that your Miss and I are a match made in heaven!
"By the way, what's your name?" Xia Pingan asked.
"My name is Xiao Die!"
"Xiao Die, you can close the shop earlier today!"
"Yes!"
Xia Pingan directly entered the inner hall and summoned an elite slave soldier to stand guard outside. Then, he entered the underground secret room and prepared to fuse the Realm beads.
The eight realm beads today made Xia Pingan's appetite. the beads.
......... com....... and..................................
. of............... of of..... and............. of of of them of places........................
. The eight realm beads of different colors flashed with a deep glow in the dark secret room. In Xia Pingan's eyes, they were very cute.
Xia Pingan started from easy to difficult. He picked up the realm bead of "Lu Ban Made Saw" and began to fuse it with his blood.
In the blink of an eye, Xia Pingan was wrapped in a green cocoon of light. However, the cocoon of light did not last for long. In less than five minutes, the cocoon of light shattered. Xia Pingan opened his eyes. The realm bead had been successfully fused.
Lu Ban in the realm bead went to the mountains to cut down trees. He did not expect that his finger would be cut by the jagged leaves. Lu Ban got inspiration from the jagged shape of the leaves. After returning, he made a saw, making it easier to cut down trees and process wood.
Xia Pingan created a saw and sawed off a section of the tree trunk. The Realm Pearl had successfully fused with it. The Realm Pearl's world had shattered, and Xia Pingan didn't even have the chance to create something else to try to break through.
Lu Ban Made Saw. In addition to giving Xia Pingan the ability to summon a saw, it only gave Xia Pingan 10 points of divine power. After the fusion, the upper limit of Xia Pingan Secret Mandala reached 4065 points.
Then, Xia Pingan fused with the realm bead of "Lu Ban Made Saw".
The story of "Lu Yin Gong" was very simple. Many people were familiar with it. This story was about the fourth year of Duke Wei's reign. In order to kill Duke Huan, Duke Wei's Zhou Shu, he had no choice but to kill his own son, Shi Hou.
In the realm bead's world, Xia Pingan became Duke Wei's Shi Xiao. Then, step by step, he fused with the realm bead perfectly. When the light cocoon on Xia Pingan's body shattered, it took less than 20 minutes. This realm bead gave Xia Pingan 30 points of divine power.
"Song with a Sword", "Xue Country's Righteousness", and "A Cunning Rabbit Has Three Burrows". These three realm beads all told the story of Meng Changjun's guest, Feng Kuang. Feng Kuang could be considered the representative of the guest of that era. These three realm beads were very easy to fuse. Xia Pingan directly fused all three realm beads in one go. The total time taken to fuse all three realm beads was only 40 minutes.
These three realm beads gave Xia Pingan 90 points of divine power. After fusing with these three realm beads, Xia Pingan's divine power limit reached 4185 points.
Every time his divine power increased, Xia Pingan's body would also have a chance to undergo divine power infusion. After going through the divine power infusion, Xia Pingan's physique would unknowingly improve. This was also the strength of summoners.
The sixth realm bead that Xia Pingan fused with was the realm bead "Tao Kan".
Tao Kan was a famous minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the aristocratic families were unrestrained and unrestrained. Each of the so-called famous scholars were proud of being unconventional. Tao Kan's down-to-earth style was a true stream of purity.
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 and bricks were fated because Tao Kan wanted to train his body and willpower. He also sympathized with the people and didn't want to waste money and food, so he got himself a pile of the cheapest bricks in the place where he lived. Morning and night, he would move a pile of bricks around.
Tao Kan could be considered the first famous person to move bricks since ancient times.
Other than moving bricks, Tao Kan actually had many other deeds. Xia Pingan didn't understand why this realm bead only provided one spell. Was it because the time in this realm bead was too short? Once he finished moving bricks, the realm bead would shatter? Or did other people not know that Tao Kan had other achievements?
If the latter was the case, then it was most likely that the person who fused with the Realm Bead might not know as much as he did. Therefore, the result was that the person who fused with the Realm Bead only knew how to carry bricks and didn't know anything else. In the end, there was only one spell that was obtained.
It was definitely possible that the so-called spiritual will crystal didn't record anything perfect in Xia Pingan's eyes.
"Perhaps I can try to make a breakthrough with this realm bead and see what the limit of this realm bead is?" Xia Pingan held the realm bead "Tao Kan". His eyes flashed as he muttered to himself. Then, he began to fuse with it.
As Xia Pingan fused with another drop of blood, Xia Pingan was surrounded by a colorful cocoon of light in the secret chamber.
…
Xia Pingan opened his eyes and found himself sitting in a carriage. The carriage was traveling on the road outside the city. Behind his carriage was a group of soldiers on horseback. This entourage was the honor guard of the Provincial Governor. It was very awe-inspiring.
The scorching sun hung high above his head and the chirping of cicadas could be heard everywhere on the road.
There was an endless stream of people on the road. When they saw the Provincial Governor's convoy, they all paid attention to them.
It was already the end of summer. The convoy was traveling outside the city. Along the way, one could see patches of paddy fields by the roadside. The paddy fields were growing well and had already formed ears.
If an ordinary person fused with this realm bead, they wouldn't feel anything when they saw such a scene. They wouldn't even know where they were. However, when Xia Pingan saw the unripe paddy fields by the roadside, his heart was moved. He suddenly remembered something that Tao Kan had done before.
'Would a person holding an ear of paddy appear on the road?'
Xia Pingan said in his heart. He couldn't help but look at the roadside outside the carriage. The carriage was moving on the road. Suddenly, a figure entered Xia Pingan's eyes. It was a pedestrian on the road. That person was a man in his thirties. As he walked, he held a handful of unripe rice in his hand.
'F * ck, it's you!'
When the convoy arrived in front of that man, Xia Pingan suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
Tao Kan's voice was deep and dignified. As soon as he said the word 'stop', the carriage stopped at once.
Xia Pingan directly got off the carriage.
When the passers-by saw Xia Pingan get off the carriage, they were all startled.
After getting off the carriage, Xia Pingan directly came in front of that man who was holding an ear of paddy.
"Provincial … Provincial Governor …" That man was already scared silly. He didn't understand why the Provincial Governor would stop the carriage and directly come in front of him.
"Where did you get the ear of paddy in your hand?" Xia Pingan directly asked that man.
"I saw it on the road just now, so I casually grabbed it!" That guy answered honestly, trembling with fear.
There were paddy fields on the roadside. That man's hands were itchy. As he walked, he grabbed a handful of paddy and swung it around in his hand.
Xia Pingan was furious. He pointed at the man's nose and scolded, "Bastard, the rice in your hands is grain that hasn't grown yet. What's the difference between you and a thief if you want to take it without asking? For the rice to grow so big, it needs manpower to cultivate it, it needs rain and dew from the sky, and it needs fertile soil to grow. Every grain of rice contains the good fortune of heaven, earth, and man. You can destroy it casually, and you're wasting other people's hard work and grain. Do you know how many people starve to death because they can't eat grain? Men, tie him up!"
A few ferocious followers came over and tied up the guy whose face was pale with fright.
That guy thought that he was going to be beheaded and almost wet himself.
"Bring me a whip …" Xia Pingan stretched out his hand and someone brought him a whip. Xia Pingan took the whip and whipped that person more than ten times. He didn't use too much strength and only let that person suffer some physical pain. That person was whipped until tears and snot flowed down. He cried loudly and admitted his mistake, saying that he didn't dare. Only then did Xia Pingan stop.
Seeing the Provincial Governor whipping that guy on the roadside for an unripe ear of paddy, those onlookers all cheered for him.
After whipping that guy, Xia Pingan had his subordinates release him. After that, he got on the carriage.
…
After experiencing this event, Xia Pingan had been sure that the "potential" of this realm bead had not been discovered by those who had integrated it before.
When the fleet returned to the Provincial Governor's Mansion, they found that the backyard of the Provincial Governor's Mansion was "empty". There were only flowers and grasses; however, there was no equipment for exercising. Xia Pingan directly ordered people to carry a cart of bricks here and put them outside the gate of his study room. After that, they would carry that cart of bricks from the study room to the garden every morning; in the evening, they would carry those bricks from the garden to the study room.
After a few days, the news that the Provincial Governor liked carrying bricks had spread over the city.
…
Over 1 hour later, the colorful light cocoon over Xia Pingan disappeared. At the same time, Xia Pingan's body started to crack. After that, Xia Pingan opened his eyes while his eyes sparkled as he revealed a smile unconsciously.
At this moment, there was a new sculpture of Tao Kan in the shrine of Xia Pingan's secret mandala. Besides the story of Tao Kan carrying bricks, there were some other stories in the iron sculpture, such as bricks, whips, wood shavings and bamboo heads, all of which were sparkling.
Sure enough, this Realm Pearl didn't provide just one spell technique, but a total of four. Aside from the "Earth to Brick" spell technique, 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.
Long whips were Xia Pingan's favorite weapon. Because of Tao Kan and Xigu, Xia Pingan had beaten up a person who was picking up rice ears by the roadside. He did not expect that he could 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 them, they needed to use wood shavings or bamboo heads as props to cast the spells, and they could only be cast with the help of wood shavings and bamboo heads.
Interesting, this realm bead was really interesting.
This realm bead of Tao Kan directly increased Xia Pingan's divine power by 80 points.
What a great gain!
…
At the thought of the long whip that could be summoned by this realm bead, Xia Pingan immediately consumed 36 points of divine power. With a wave of his hand, a pitch-black long whip appeared in Xia Pingan's hand.
This long whip was slightly longer than the "black cobra" that Xia Pingan used before. It was heavy in his hand. It was also made of metal and interlocked with each other. The whip looked like a rice ear. On the handle of the whip, there were 3 small words "Tri-Talent Whip".
The feeling of holding the whip in his hand was indescribable. It was as if his hand and Xia Pingan's hand had become one.
When Xia Pingan's hand moved slightly, the black whip whizzed out of the secret room. It created a few snake-shaped whip flowers in the air. The speed of the whip instantly broke through the sound barrier and exploded in the air, causing the entire underground secret room to rumble.
Not bad, not bad!
After two whips, the feeling of using a whip came back. Xia Pingan was in a good mood.
There were still 2 realm beads left. When Xia Pingan was about to fuse them, Xia Pingan suddenly frowned and stopped. With a wave of his hand, the remaining 2 realm beads were stored in Xia Pingan's Space Warehouse.
After doing all this, Xia Pingan continued to sit cross-legged on the ground, pretending to be cultivating.
One minute later, on one of the walls of the underground secret room, a faint shadow suddenly came out from behind the wall and pounced towards Xia Pingan. A cold glint appeared in its hand and it went straight for Xia Pingan's throat …
