Xia Pingan picked up Meng Ziqi's two-handed sword and examined it. This two-handed sword was pretty good. It could cut through iron as if it were mud. It had the effects of sharpness, armor-piercing, freezing, and toughness. Among summoner artifacts, it was one of the best.
"Brother Meng's artifact is pretty good. It can be refined into a soul artifact!"
"Then I'm relieved!" Meng Ziqi put away the artifact and looked at Xia Pingan. He pondered for a moment and then looked at Xia Pingan expectantly, "Brother Long, please don't blame me for being impatient. I want to ask when you can refine a soul artifact for me!"
"I can do it now!" Xia Pingan said directly.
"Don't … don't … don't …" Meng Ziqi waved his hand and refused, "Brother Long, please don't misunderstand. I'm not that impatient. I know brother Long just came back from the Hall of Soul Armaments, so you must be tired and exhausted. You've been busy crafting soul armaments, so I can't possibly add fuel to the fire and not let you rest. Brother Long, you've already given me face by agreeing to craft soul armaments for me, so how can I not know what's good for me? Brother Long, how about this? Why don't you rest at home while I stay in the Star River Manor in Undying City for the next two days? Once you've recovered, you can come find me at the Star River Manor and help me craft soul armaments. How does that sound?"
How about that? "" Alright, I'll rest and recover. Thank you for your understanding, Brother Meng! " Xia Pingan went with the flow and smiled. It would be strange if he was in a hurry to refine a soul artifact for Meng Ziqi. It was reasonable to say that he had used up a lot of "energy" these past few days.
"Alas, if only Brother Ren Zhu were here. The three of us would be able to reunite here. Unfortunately, after that experience in the Land of the Fallen Gods, I'm afraid. In the Godslaying Insect Realm, without strength, even a summoner in the Reflection Realm or the Netherpassage Realm is as fragile as paper. They can only become other people's chess pieces …" Meng Ziqi shook his head and sighed. Then, he poured wine for himself and Xia Pingan and raised his cup. "This cup of wine is to celebrate our return from the Land of the Fallen Gods!"
"Brother Ren Zhu is indeed a pity. I didn't expect you to be trapped in the Land of the Fallen Gods …" Xia Pingan shook his head and sighed. He clinked his cup with Meng Ziqi and drank.
"This second cup of wine is for Brother Long. Brother Long's character is really admirable. If Brother Long didn't calmly hand over the Divine Artifact fragment to Senior Minghe after obtaining it, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to regain my freedom. So, this cup of wine is for Brother Long!" Meng Ziqi's attitude was sincere. His words made people feel comfortable.
"You flatter me. I don't have the Divine Artifact fragment with me. I may not be able to keep it. So, it's best to hand it over to Senior Minghe. It saves me a lot of trouble!"
"Hahaha, Brother Long is really free and easy. After all, Brother Long is blessed by the heavens. With the ability of a soul master, it'll be easy for you to advance to the Form Transformation Stage in the future!"
"How can it be so easy? The Wan Shen Sect doesn't raise idle people. I don't know how busy I'll be in the future. I can only say that I hope so …"
"By the way, how did Brother Meng get the ability to refine soul artifacts? After I leave the Godslaying Insect World, I'll try my luck. Maybe I'll be like Brother Long and have another ability to make a living in the future!"
"Speaking of how I got the ability to refine soul artifacts, it's a long story …"
Xia Pingan made up a story about how he entered a certain Void Secret Realm and got the inheritance on a certain day. Meng Ziqi's eyes lit up and he was amazed.
The two chatted and talked nonsense while eating and drinking. Unknowingly, an hour passed. The two of them seemed to have enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
Meng Ziqi then politely said goodbye. Xia Pingan sent Meng Ziqi to the door.
"Brother Long, please stop. I'll be waiting for Brother Long at the Star River Manor for a few days!" Meng Ziqi turned his head and said to Xia Pingan with a smile when he walked out of the door.
"Okay, let me rest for a day. I'll come to the Star River Manor to visit Brother Meng in two days!"
Xia Pingan stood at the door and watched Meng Ziqi walk out of the alley. Only then did he turn around and return to the courtyard. Xia Pingan returned to the courtyard and pointed at Meng Ziqi. Child Fortune, who had been playing with the glowing fish in the courtyard, flashed and chased after Meng Ziqi.
Perhaps it was because his soul power had increased too rapidly this time, but Xia Pingan's perception had unknowingly advanced again. He could suddenly perceive and experience many hidden details that were usually difficult to detect.
Meng Ziqi was normal this time. Meng Ziqi was gentle and courteous. He was considerate and considerate like an old friend. However, Xia Pingan felt that something was wrong. When he was chatting with Meng Ziqi just now, he was actually on guard.
Especially when Meng Ziqi was talking about Ren Zhu. Although Meng Ziqi's expression and tone were somewhat sad, as if he was reminiscing about an old friend, Xia Pingan felt that Meng Ziqi didn't have the slightest bit of sadness in his heart. Everything was like an exquisite performance.
And when Meng Ziqi asked him about the soul refining method and the divine tool fragment, he acted very upright. At most, he was envious. However, Xia Pingan felt that Meng Ziqi's heart was filled with jealousy and unwillingness.
Xia Pingan returned to the pavilion again. He drank wine and ate dried fruits. However, his mind had already followed Meng Ziqi and left together with Child Fortune.
Meng Ziqi was completely unaware that Child Fortune was following him.
After leaving Xia Pingan's courtyard, Meng Ziqi directly flew towards the southwest direction of the Immortal City. In a short while, he arrived at the Star River Manor.
The Star River Manor was a high-end hotel in the Immortal City. The Star River Manor was built in a huge natural underground cave in the Immortal City. There was an underground waterfall in the cave. There were independent courtyards everywhere. All the courtyards were protected by formations. There were also summoned guards patrolling the area. It was very quiet and secluded. Summoners who could stay here were all rich Summoners.
Meng Ziqi arrived at the Star River Manor and directly entered a courtyard. He was the only one living in the courtyard.
After returning to the courtyard, Meng Ziqi didn't contact anyone. He took out a book and read it in his room. He looked as if he was patiently waiting for Xia Pingan to come. He was like this for two to three hours. He just quietly read the book.
This made Xia Pingan somewhat bewildered. Could it be that he was paranoid?
Seeing that he didn't find anything, Xia Pingan let Child Fortune keep an eye on Meng Ziqi while he returned to the underground secret room.
A clone on Earth couldn't be made in two or three days. It might take a long time to find a suitable clone. Moreover, the process couldn't be interrupted. He would soon refine a soul tool for Meng Ziqi. There wasn't much time left. Xia Pingan simply fused the Realm Bead in the secret room.
Xia Pingan wasn't sure about the Realm Bead that could summon Wang Zhaojun. He planned to put it aside for now.
Xia Pingan was naturally very clear about Wang Zhaojun's experience. However, Xia Pingan still couldn't figure out how to fuse with the Realm Bead for the time being. Could it be that he had to become Wang Zhaojun in the Realm Bead? That would be too ridiculous. Xia Pingan really couldn't accept it. He felt that this Realm Bead that could summon four beauties shouldn't allow a male summoner who wanted to summon beauties to play the role of beauties. He must have used some other method to fuse with it and play another role. Moreover, even if he became Wang Zhaojun, so what? It was too awkward.
Because he wasn't sure, Xia Pingan put this Realm Bead aside for now. Fortunately, Xia Pingan still had three other Realm Beads that he could fuse with first.
The first Realm Bead that Xia Pingan took out was the Realm Bead that could summon death soldiers. There were two small words on this Realm Bead — Tian Heng.
Tian Heng embodied another spirit of the Chinese nobles. The story of Tian Heng and his five hundred death soldiers was bloody and unyielding. Tian Heng's last words before his death, "Righteousness covers the heavens, trustworthiness covers the earth, life's legacy is only fit for the ears!" It was really heart-wrenching. After his suicide, his five hundred death soldiers all followed him and committed suicide, which was even more famous and inspired countless heroes.
When Xia Pingan was studying in school, he had personally gone to Tian Heng Island to pay his respects to Tian Heng and his five hundred righteous soldiers during the holidays.
Unfortunately, Tian Heng's tomb, which was originally located at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, was an important cultural relic, but it was later flattened and turned into a power plant. It was really a pity.
After dripping a drop of blood on it, Xia Pingan was soon wrapped in a layer of bloody light cocoon.
…
Xia Pingan opened his eyes. In front of him was the sound of waves and the sea breeze blowing. It was a reef beach facing the sea. The scenery here was inexplicably familiar. It was Tian Heng Island.
A hoarse voice sounded behind him, "General, the envoy of the King of Han is here …"
