Xia Pingan didn't pay any attention to Liu Yiqian in the beast cage. This was a warning to Liu Yiqian.
He used the Mechanism Technique to create that puppet spider to deal with Liu Yiqian. It could be considered as a small insurance. If he returned to Earth in two days, his main body would be in the same place as Liu Yiqian in the beast cage. He had to have something that could deter Liu Yiqian, lest Liu Yiqian had other thoughts.
As for summoned creatures, those summoned creatures wouldn't stay in this plane for too long. They would dissipate after three to five days at most and wouldn't be of much use. However, this puppet spider was different. It wouldn't be a problem even if it stared at Liu Yiqian for eight to ten years.
Of course, this was on the premise that Liu Yiqian could escape from the beast cage. Based on the current situation, it was impossible for Liu Yiqian to escape from the beast cage. Therefore, this puppet spider was a precautionary measure. Liu Yiqian was too cunning and vicious, so it had to be guarded against.
"You can eat this for the next few days …" Xia Pingan took out a handful of fasting pills, directly throwing them into the beast cage's food trough. Then, with a light wave of his hand, the beast cage containing Liu Yishuang moved along the space inside the conch shell, like a slide, sliding down to a place below the conch shell where he couldn't see.
He knew that Liu Yiqian was very smart and would overthink things. Previously, he let Liu Yiqian see his skills as a Formation Master and Mechanism Master to deliberately make Liu Yiqian confused about his identity. Now that he had achieved his goal, Xia Pingan couldn't be bothered to let Liu Yiqian spy on him.
Seeing Liu Yiqian's beast cage slide to the bottom, the puppet spider took a step forward. Like a fast-moving spider, it quickly moved its legs and followed the beast cage to the bottom. Then, it stared at the beast cage and faithfully carried out Xia Pingan's orders. The greatest advantage of these mechanical puppets was that they would never betray their master. Like a program, they would always carry out their master's orders.
As long as the monkey in the cage left the cage, it would kill the monkey. This order was very simple, and the puppet spider could carry it out meticulously.
Xia Pingan ate two Shenli Dan and Fasting Pills, drank some water, and then closed his eyes to sleep.
Ever since Immortal City underwent such a huge change, he had been fighting all the way until now. He hadn't closed his eyes even once, so he felt a little tired.
After taking the pill, Xia Pingan closed his eyes and rested for three to four hours, his spirit had recovered.
Then, Xia Pingan took out the newly obtained Realm Pearl.
Xiao Chen had obtained these Realm Pearls after killing the Winged Flame Bug in Immortal City. After the Winged Flame Bug was sent to a secret warehouse, the Pharmacist and craftsmen in the mandala chopped it into pieces. Xia Pingan had also obtained two Realm Pearls.
Of the two Realm Pearls, one was Tian Guanglun Yong's Realm Pearl that Xia Pingan had fused with before, and the other was one that he had not fused with before. It just so happened that he could take it out and fuse with it now.
This Realm Pearl flickered with an earthy yellow light, and there was a vague light and shadow in the Realm Pearl. In the light and shadow, there was the figure of a soldier wearing battle armor. That soldier was definitely not an ordinary soldier, as ordinary soldiers would not carry so many weapons. However, from the light and shadow, it could be seen that this soldier was wearing thick armor and had at least three weapons on him. There was a huge shield and arrows on his back, and the shape of a crossbow could be faintly seen. That soldier was also holding a halberd in his hand and a sword hanging on his waist.
To an ancient soldier, this soldier was already armed to the teeth. In all the dynasties and dynasties, there was only one person who could complete such a configuration for a soldier: "Wei Wuzu".
Just as Xia Pingan thought, there were only three words in Xiaozhuan in this Realm Pearl: "Wei Wuzu".
This was the strongest infantry in the history of China. This was the first special force in China's history that had been created by the military god Wu Qi.
Yes, in Xia Pingan's view, the Wei Wuzu was the first true special force in China's history. Practically every soldier in this unit had been chosen according to the standards that Wu Qi had used to select special forces, and they had undergone strict training before becoming an army.
Just how strong was the Wei Wuzu?
From the time this unit had appeared to the time when it had been submerged in the river of history, this unit had participated in seventy-two battles and had not suffered a single defeat. In the Battle of the Yin and Jin Dynasties, the five hundred thousand strong Qin soldiers had been defeated by the fifty thousand Wei Wuzu. The Wei Wuzu had been able to fight against ten Qin soldiers alone.
In the era of the Wei Wuzu, the entire Qin State had been shrouded in the shadow of the Wei Wuzu. The Qin army had been suppressed by the Wei Wuzu to the point that they could not breathe. Wu Qi had relied on the Wei Wuzu to suppress the powerful Qin State in the narrow area west of Mount Hua. They could not cross Mount Hua, and it was like grinding a fierce tiger against the ground.
Although history had always liked to judge heroes by their successes and failures, the Wei Wuzu's glorious achievements made them the undisputed number one infantry unit in ancient China. The valiant spirit of China's ancestors had been vividly displayed by the Wei Wuzu.
After dripping a drop of blood on the Realm Pearl, Xia Pingan was quickly enveloped in a yellow cocoon of light.
… …
Xia Pingan opened his eyes and found himself standing on a high platform. Beside him were generals with solemn expressions, standing on either side of him with their hands on their swords. In front of him was the drill ground of a huge military camp. Behind him were banners that fluttered in the wind, and a huge banner with the word "Wei" written on it.
A man with a long beard wearing a graceful and elegant purple robe with beautiful jade hanging from his waist stood beside Xia Pingan. "General, the elites of the Wei State are here today. This humble one will hand them over to you. Please feel at ease and choose the elites to form the Wei Wuzu. General, you said that the most important thing in an army is quality, not quantity. This humble one feels that this humble one is very reasonable. Today, I will wait and see how the general chooses!"
Looking at the man's appearance, Xia Pingan knew that this man was Wei Wenhou, a wise ruler of a generation. Without Wei Wenhou, there would be no Wei State, and there would be no Wei Wuzu.
Xia Pingan bowed to Wei Wenhou and then walked to the front of the platform. After thinking for a while, he began to speak loudly.
"Today, the King is here. I will choose the elites of the Wei State for the King. The King has already agreed that all the soldiers that I choose today will have their entire family exempted from taxes. If there are outstanding individuals, they will be rewarded with land and real estate …"
In this era, there were no loudspeakers. Wu Qi was also not a peerless expert like in novels who could roar like a lion. Once he opened his mouth, it could be heard from miles away. In such an occasion, in the army below, every few dozen steps, there would be an officer standing by the side of the formation. The officer in front would shout out what he heard without missing a word, and the one behind him would continue to pass it on. Therefore, in a moment, the entire drill ground was filled with Wei State officers shouting at the top of their lungs. They passed on what Xia Pingan had just said without missing a word so that all the soldiers could hear.
During the Warring States Period, because of the struggle for hegemony, the taxes of the people of each country were very heavy. The Wei State soldiers on the drill ground were all stirred up. If one was chosen today, they would have their entire family exempted from taxes. This treatment was too exciting. It was really like, "If one joins the army, his entire family will be honored, and the entire village will be envious of him."
Everyone was suddenly energized. They pricked up their ears and puffed out their chests, wanting to hear Xia Pingan announce the selection criteria.
Xia Pingan waited for the voices on the Drill Ground to stop before he opened his mouth again.
"If you want to be chosen, your entire family will be exempted from taxes. It is very simple. As long as you can fulfill the following requirements, you will be chosen. I only have one condition. Anyone who wants to be chosen as a soldier must wear three layers of heavy armor and an iron helmet, be able to fire a twelve-picul crossbow, carry fifty crossbow bolts on their back, wield a halberd or spear, carry a sharp sword, carry three days' worth of rations and shields, and be able to march a hundred li in a day."
These were only the most basic requirements for the selection of soldiers. After completing the selection, Xia Pingan also knew that Wu Qi had created the earliest elite training system for the soldiers of the Wei State, which was far ahead of this era. He had established a training system for the soldiers of the Wei State that was equivalent to a training camp in the future. As the saying went, "If one person learns, he will teach ten people. If ten people learn, he will teach a hundred people. If ten people learn, he will teach a hundred people. If ten people learn, he will teach three armies." The instructors were all top experts who used crossbows, swords, halberds, and spears on the battlefield. They were completely the same as the instructors of the special forces.
