"It should be here …"
An hour later, Xia Pingan arrived at a high-class residential area in the south of the Immortal City. Standing in front of a vermilion gate, he raised his head and looked at the house number on the wall beside the gate — — Heavenly Shine Alley Spirit No. 98.
On both sides of the surrounding alley, there were houses of similar size. This house was the Spirit House in the Immortal City. This Spirit House sounded like a haunted place, but the environment was good. Outside the courtyard was a snow-white wall that was more than three meters high. There were also fluorite lamps in the alley. It looked very high-class and was much better than the courtyards of ordinary hotels and inns.
Xia Pingan looked around. The alley was very quiet and there was no one else. He directly walked to the stairs and took out the golden key and inserted it into the door lock. With a turn of the key, the door opened. Sure enough, it was here.
The Immortal City was underground. Therefore, the vegetation in the courtyard was also suitable for those strange things that grew underground. Several huge mushrooms stood in the courtyard. Those mushrooms were more than two meters high. Each mushroom was like a small pavilion. Below the mushrooms was a thick layer of moss, which looked a bit magical.
There was a pond in the courtyard. The fish in the pond were also a species unique to the underground world. Those fish's bodies were like glass. They were translucent and could even emit light. A group of colorful red, blue, and green fish swam in the water and emitted light. In the dark, if one didn't use the dark vision, they would look very beautiful.
After entering the courtyard and closing the door, Xia Pingan summoned the Boy of Fortune and the Black Dragon. He let the Boy of Fortune and the Black Dragon wander around the courtyard and the underground secret room. After finding that there was no problem, he was relieved.
A few minutes later, Xia Pingan stood in the yard, holding the formation plate of the Ice and Fire Sword Array that he had made before. He directly buried the formation plate under the big mushrooms. As soon as the formation plate was buried and the incantation was activated, the whole yard was covered by the array set by Xia Pingan.
Although the Yin-Yang Maze Ice and Fire Sword Array's array disc wasn't very powerful, it should be enough to protect this house and deal with ordinary intruders. Even a Seven or Eight Sun Realm expert would need some time to break through this array disc. This would give him enough warning and reaction time.
After burying an array disc in the courtyard, Xia Pingan let out a sigh of relief. He felt that this courtyard was a little more interesting. At least he didn't have to be on tenterhooks when he fell asleep.
Then, Xia Pingan went to the underground secret room in the courtyard.
The underground secret room in this courtyard was more than 200 square meters. The floor and walls of the secret room were covered with a layer of rock and a layer of metal armor. It looked very hard, but this was only on the surface. Xia Pingan didn't forget how he and the Flaming Rhinoceros had killed Wei Jiangxing, the leader of the Righteous Gang, as if he was a chicken in the secret room in Youshan City.
Xia Pingan didn't want to be killed like that one day when he was fusing with a Realm Pearl. That would be a tragedy.
At this moment, Xia Pingan had a World Pearl of a Sacred Master and a Weapon Forging Master's World Pearl that he was about to fuse. Although Xia Pingan's heart was burning and he wanted nothing more than to fuse the World Pearls as soon as possible, he couldn't be careless about the necessary preparations before the fusion.
The Tortoiseshell Five Elements Reversal Array today gave Xia Pingan a lot of inspiration.
Xia Pingan thought for a moment, then took out a pile of gold coins from the secret room and began to refine the formation plate.
In the pitch-black secret room, high-temperature flames appeared …
Half an hour later, the gold coins melted in the flames and gradually turned into an octagonal formation embryo.
Then, Xia Pingan continued to refine. Three golden tortoises, four small swords, and the Five Elements Formation Tools that symbolized metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were refined one by one. Although Xia Pingan only had gold coins, the formation could be converted between the Five Elements. As long as there was one item, it could be refined. With the Five Elements, metal would produce water, water would produce wood, wood would produce fire, fire would produce earth, and earth would produce metal. There was no lack of the Five Elements.
Metal formation plates were more durable and more malleable. They could also withstand more formation patterns, so they were widely used. Under special circumstances, if one wasn't picky, wood, ice, and earth could be used to make formation plates.
After adding these formation tools to the formation embryo, the formation base was formed.
With the formation incantation, the formation base in the flames gradually changed shape. From time to time, strange formation patterns were integrated into it. The formation eye and the formation door were gradually condensed …
Finally, two days later, Xia Pingan stopped the incantation, and an eight-trigram formation plate with restrained light steadily fell from the air into his hands. On the formation plate, several golden tortoises could be seen standing on three legs, each with their heads raised to the sky. There was a small golden sword in the Qian, Kun, Li, and Kan positions of the formation plate.
"It's done …" Xia Pingan grinned and exhaled a long breath. Because of the previous experience of refining formation plates, the refining process of this formation plate was unusually smooth. It was not only a practice, but also a breakthrough. This formation plate was slightly stronger than the one in Liang Tian's. It was the Tortoiseshell Five Elements Reversal Eight Trigrams Sword Formation, with stronger defensive power and stronger offensive power.
Outside the secret room, there was the Yin and Yang Confusion Ice and Fire Sword Formation. Inside the secret room, there was also such a formation plate.
Xia Pingan threw out the formation plate and struck it with an incantation. The formation plate immediately melted into the void, and a layer of faint white fog appeared around the secret room. At this moment, the secret room seemed unchanged, but it was already under the protection of the formation.
After refining formation plates for two consecutive days, Xia Pingan was still in high spirits. He was full of vigor, without a trace of fatigue. At the thought of integrating the important Realm Pearl, Xia Pingan drank some water and ate something in the secret room. Then, he closed his eyes and rested for two hours. When his energy was restored to its peak state, he opened his eyes and took out a box from the space warehouse.
This box was the one he had obtained from the Hall of Duty. The box was divided into two layers. The top layer of the box contained two Realm Pearls. The Sage Master Realm Pearl was as smooth as jade and flashed with a rainbow-like light. In the middle of the rainbow-like light, a statue of Confucius was faintly discernible.
The Blacksmith Realm Pearl was a deep and solemn black. In the middle of the Realm Pearl, there was a flame spewing out. In the flame, there was the shadow of a longsword and the words' Ou Yezi 'in Xiaozhuan. After integrating the Blacksmith Realm Pearl, one could forge a longsword Dharma weapon. However, if one wanted to forge other Dharma weapons, they would have to integrate different Weapon Spirit Realm Pearls. To a certain extent, the integration of Weapon Spirit Realm Pearls was more difficult.
On the second layer of the box, there was a Spiritual Force Crystal with the words' Ou Yezi 'on it. This was the Blacksmith Realm Pearl's Spiritual Force Crystal.
The Sage Master Realm Pearl didn't have a Spiritual Force Crystal. After integrating the Sage Master Realm Pearl, whether one could obtain a Dao Teaching Position seemed to be a long process. It completely depended on one's ability, talent, and comprehension.
Xia Pingan's gaze swept across the two Realm Pearls. In order to be safe, he summoned Xuanwu to guard the secret room. Then, he picked up the Blacksmith Realm Pearl and the Spiritual Force Crystal of the Blacksmith Realm Pearl and began to drip blood to integrate them.
Ou Yezi and Ganjiang Moxie were people of the same generation. They were all Master Swordsmiths. The three of them had once gone to the Chu Kingdom and forged the Dragon Abyss, Tai 'e, and Gongbu swords for the King of Chu. Xia Pingan guessed that the reason this Blacksmith Realm Pearl was Ou Yezi and not Ganjiang Moxie was because Ou Yezi was the most important person among the Master Swordsmiths. Not only did Ou Yezi forge the Chunjun, Evil-Slaying, Yuchang, Juque, and other famous bronze swords, he also forged the first iron sword in the history of China — the Dragon Abyss. He completed an epoch-making feat and led the Bronze Age to the Iron Age.
The Clear Sable Sword that Ou Yezi forged was hailed as the number one divine sword in the world. It became a symbol of the rise and fall of a country. The Yuchang and other swords that he forged were also very famous in history and were linked to many historical figures and events.
Xia Pingan had never seen the Clear Sable Sword before. However, from what he had read in the history books, the Clear Sable Sword was regarded as a national treasure by the Yue Kingdom the moment it was forged. Feng Menglong's "Annals of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" said that the Clear Sable Sword was forged from the "Heroes of the Five Metals". This Clear Sable Sword could cut through iron as if it was mud. It might be the first super-strong alloy sword in history and was one step ahead of the Dragon Abyss.
The information provided by the Spiritual Force Crystal introduced Ou Yezi's life. It also emphasized that Ou Yezi's metallurgy and forging skills were learned from his maternal uncle …
A moment later, Xia Pingan was surrounded by a cocoon of light.
An hour later, the cocoon of light shattered and Xia Pingan opened his eyes. In his eyes, there were two clear faint golden sword images that slowly dissipated in the flames.
This Realm Pearl increased Xia Pingan's God Power by 128 points. Xia Pingan officially became a Weapon Forging Master. There was a new Weapon Forging Hall in the secret mandala. The person in charge of the Weapon Forging Hall was Ou Yezi.
After calming down for a moment, Xia Pingan picked up the Sage Master Realm Pearl that he had admired for a long time.
Before fusing, Xia Pingan went through all of Confucius's life and works in his mind. After confirming that he did not miss anything, he started fusing with his blood.
In a daze, Xia Pingan opened his eyes. He was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.
In front of him was a huge and spacious hall. There was a huge plaque hanging in the hall with the words "Sage Master Hall" written on it. The empty space in the hall was densely packed with people kneeling. There were at least three to four thousand of them. These people were all wearing Confucian robes. They were all looking at him respectfully, as if they were humbly learning.
He was sitting on a high platform. Behind the platform were twenty granite pillars that were as tall as pillars supporting the sky. Those pillars were standing behind him. On those pillars, there were large and dazzling golden characters.
On the twenty pillars, there were twenty articles from the "Analects of Confucius" carved on them.
On the tallest stone pillar behind Xia Pingan was the first article of the "Analects of Confucius", "Learning and Becoming First". Confucius said: "Learning and practicing, isn't that right? Isn't it a joy to have friends coming from afar? Isn't it a gentleman not knowing and not being angry? "
"Mister, please preach the Dao to us!" The three to four thousand people in the main hall shouted in unison. Their voices rumbled as they saluted Xia Pingan in the ancient way.
Xia Pingan looked around and finally discovered that the Sage Master Hall was not somewhere else. It was in his secret mandala. It was a new building that had appeared in his secret mandala …
