234 Chapter 224-the arrival of an important guest
Xia Pingan’s speed of advancement after fusing with the realm bead was simply shocking.
When he walked to the basement, Xia Pingan estimated that he would be able to officially advance to the three sun realm in half a month at most.
However, over the past half a month, as more and more realm pearls were integrated, new problems gradually emerged. Xia Pingan realized that the relatively cheap realm pearls that he could buy from the night vision of Tianyuan bridge that he had not integrated before were getting fewer and fewer.
That’s right, there were only so many common realm pearls, and the number was fixed. The more one fused with them, the fewer realm pearls one would encounter.
On the other hand, even if some of the realm beads had not been fused before, their prices were simply too ridiculous. Even if Xia Pingan knew how to fuse them, after calculating, realm beads that cost thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins each were not worth it at all.
Not only that, Xia ping ‘an also discovered that after the purge of the bloody demon church on the 15th in Shangjing city, the price of realm pearls sold in the Tianyuan bridge night market had unknowingly increased slowly. In less than half a month, the price of realm pearls in the night market, be it in shops or in the stalls set up by bounty hunters, had increased by more than 20%.
The price of realm pearls was rising. The daily necessities in Shangjing also had some slight fluctuations in the past half month, but it was not obvious.
According to the newspaper, the reason for the increase in the price of realm pearls was that the northern border of the great Shang kingdom was a little unstable. Several large tribes of the demon Wolf Clan in the North showed signs of moving south. Some groups and organizations who caught wind of it began to hoard realm pearls-this was the old routine. As long as there was any sign of trouble and the situation became tense, someone would start hoarding realm pearls, rice, and other things.
According to some bounty hunters in the night market, for some reason, the number of monsters in the open sea and underground of Shangjing had decreased in the past month. As the number of monsters decreased, the number of realm pearls on the market also decreased, and the price naturally began to rise.
The bounty hunters didn’t know why the number of monsters in the open sea and underground had decreased. It was because the situation was abnormal and not often encountered.
Anyway, something doesn’t seem right.
Xia Pingan’s sharp senses sensed the undercurrent beneath the calm situation in Shangjing.
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 light.
There were four realm beads called ” seven steps poem “. Xia Pingan had spent more than 800 gold coins to buy this realm bead at the night market yesterday. The seller said that this realm bead was a ” divine skill realm bead “. The so-called ” divine skill realm bead ” was a realm bead that would allow the summoner to master some special skills after fusion. The ” divine skill realm bead ” would not allow the summoner to develop a new profession, nor would it allow the summoner to summon any characters or spells. It would only allow the summoner to master some special skills that could be used with divine power.
Among the summoners, this realm Pearl was called the ” Lotus step realm Pearl. after the fusion was successful, the skill he gave to the summoner was a kind of Lotus step that could be used with divine power. Each step was a lotus flower. Whether it was used in battle or to escape at a critical moment, avoiding all kinds of attacks, it was a first-class powerful skill.
Without the help of the spiritual will crystal, the death rate of fusing with this realm Pearl was more than 90%. However, the spiritual will crystal of this realm Pearl was very rare, which was why it was sold so ‘cheaply’.
After dripping his blood, Xia Pingan was quickly wrapped in a cocoon of light and entered the world of the realm Pearl.
……
As soon as Xia ping ‘an opened his eyes, he saw that he was in a large hall surrounded by strong guards who were eyeing him covetously.
A man in a dragon robe and the crown of the emperor sat on the throne. He had a hawk nose and Wolf Eyes, and his face was a little sinister. He was staring at him coldly. A few eunuchs in the hall were also quietly looking at him with complicated expressions.
The hall was silent, the atmosphere oppressive and murderous.
fourth brother, everyone in the world says that apart from father, there are only a few brothers in the CAO family. You are the most talented one, ” the man sitting on the throne said with a malicious smile on his face. I haven’t heard fourth brother compose a poem in a long time. Why don’t you compose a poem for me with ‘brothers’ as the theme in this Hall today? with fourth brother’s talent, it shouldn’t take too long to compose a poem. Just within seven steps. Fourth brother, you must compose a good poem. I have a reward, but if it’s not done well, then it means that fourth brother doesn’t put me in his eyes and doesn’t care to write poems for me. That’s a crime of deceiving the sovereign, and I can only let fourth brother walk on the platform of axes!”
Xia ping ‘an raised his head and looked at the hateful Cao Pi, sighing in his heart. In order to inherit Cao Cao’s legacy, this Cao Pi had started to kill his own brothers right after Cao Cao’s death. It could be said that he was unscrupulous. When Cao Ang was alive, Cao Pi had no hope of inheriting Cao Cao’s great cause. He did not dare to have any thoughts about it. However, when Cao Ang died, Cao Pi jumped out.
After Cao Ang’s death, Cao Chong was Cao Zhang’s favorite son, and then Cao Chong died for no reason. Now, Cao Pi wanted to kill him, force 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 be made a King. Two years later, Cao Zhang came to Luoyang to see Cao Pi again. After that, Cao Zhang, who had been strong and able to fight with fierce beasts since he was young, suddenly ” died ” of an illness in Luoyang.
‘Trash like Cao Pi thought he could keep his position after killing all his brothers, but he didn’t know that his’ good friend’, Sima Yi, whom he had once tried his best to protect, was waiting for him to do so. In the end, Cao Pi was only a dowry for Sima Yi.
Whether or not Sima Yi was instigating Cao Pi to get rid of his own brothers by any means and was using Cao Pi’s hands to get rid of the CAO clan’s power was something that only Cao Pi and Sima Yi would know.
Cao Cao was the Prime Minister of han, but he controlled the Emperor and commanded the vassals, seizing the great Han Dynasty. However, in the end, God gave Cao Cao a son, Cao Pi. The world that Cao Cao had worked hard for his entire life was given away by the prodigal Cao Pi after his death. The heavenly Dao was clear, and it was truly terrifying.
Xia Pingan estimated the distance between him and Cao Pi, wondering what the consequences would be if he were to kill Cao Pi now.
At this moment, he was only a little more than ten steps away from Cao Pi. After walking through the seven divisions, he would be less than ten steps away from Cao Pi.
Xia ping ‘an thought about it for a moment. Then, she looked at Cao Zhi’s slender arms and legs and sighed. Forget it. The reward for changing history was indeed tempting, but the risk this time was too high, and the benefits were uncertain. He might die if he did not do it well. It was better to be safe.
“Since His Majesty has given the order, Cao Zhi will naturally obey!” Xia ping ‘an shook his head and took a step forward. He began to compose a poem, and his clear voice resounded throughout the hall.
“Boiled beans are used as soup, dripping as juice. The flame burns under the cauldron, the bean sobs in the cauldron. We are born from the same root, so why are you in a hurry to torture each other?”
One line for each step, and after six lines, he landed on his seventh step.
……
In the outer hall of the Duke of Zhou building, Cao Cao was like the “receptionist.” He supported his chin with his hands and looked at the entrance in front of him. His eyes were almost drowsy from looking at it, but no one appeared.
It was almost noon. Just as Cao Cao’s stomach was grumbling and she started to miss Xia Pingan’s cooking, thinking that no one would come, a man in his thirties with a determined face and a noble aura calmly walked in from behind the screen. He was wearing casual clothes and holding a folding fan in his hand. He was accompanied by an old man in green.
The man who walked in was the Crown Prince of the great Shang, Beitang Wangchuan.
When Cao Cao saw Beitang Wangchuan, a trace of shock and guilt appeared on his face. He even turned his head to look at the inner hall and hurriedly walked over from behind the table. He whispered, ” big brother, why are you here? ”
Beitang Wangchuan sized up everything in the room and then looked at Cao Cao’s face. I heard from yiniang that you weren’t in the palace these few days and ran out to cause trouble again, so I came to take a look!
Cao Cao stuck out her tongue, then pushed Beitang Wangchuan out of the door. I’m not messing around. I’ve found a job now. Brother, leave quickly. Don’t disturb me.
Beitang Wangchuan stood still like a rock. He only smiled and said, ” I’m also a guest. You’re working here, so how can you push a guest out? aren’t you afraid that I’ll complain to your manager? ”
