181 The second fusion
Ding Ling Ling ”
The carriage stopped, and the coachman jumped off the carriage skillfully. He pulled the bell on the carriage and opened the door for Xia Pingan. Sir, we have arrived at Xuanji.
Xia ping ‘an got off the carriage, paid the driver, and left.
The place where Xia Pingan alighted was a town in the eastern suburbs of Shangjing. The town was quite lively, and there were traffic on the streets. There were carriages that carried vegetables and delivered goods from the South to the North. After leaving this town and going east, there was a large area of farmland and farms. Many of the vegetables planted by the farmers would be delivered to the city through the town.
As more and more carriages passed by, horse feces and horse urine began to pile up on the asphalt road.
The atmosphere of the city and the countryside blended perfectly here.
At noon, the streets of the town were filled with the unpleasant smell of horse dung and urine under the steaming sunlight. Beside the horse dung and urine, various small restaurants and snacks were set up on the street, and everyone was used to it.
The houses here were neither too good nor too bad. They were also some distance away from the city, and the prices were not expensive. Previously, Xia Pingan had hired an agent to find a place to live, and it was in a semi-new apartment building in the town.
Most of the people who lived in this town were local people in Shangjing. They were mostly engaged in various small businesses.
Xia Pingan, who got off the carriage, walked a few dozen meters before he arrived at the apartment building he lived in. It was a five-story building with brand new gray walls. The apartment building was like a city wall with a horizontal line on the side of the street. The windows faced the street outside. Most of the people who rented this kind of small apartment were office workers and laborers in Shangjing city. Some even had families living here because it was cheap.
A few fruit sellers had set up stalls in front of the apartment building. The old gatekeeper of the apartment building was playing chess with several old men and didn’t even look at the people entering and leaving the apartment.
Xia Pingan entered the apartment building and walked up the stairs to the third floor.
On both sides of the corridor of the apartment building, there were piles of coal that looked like honeycomb briquet, and many clothes were hanging on the drying pole near the well of the apartment.
Coal delivery workers dressed in gray were carrying coal over. The fragrance of fried rice and cooking came from some apartments, and there were quarrels between men and women and the cries of children.
The apartment building was full of people, and it was filled with the atmosphere of the city.
Xia Pingan’s room was Room 319. When he walked to the door of the room, Xia Pingan looked around and saw that the side of his room was half-occupied by the neighbor’s coal and a shoe cabinet. The neighbor’s things at the door had already crossed the middle line and were squeezed to his side. He remembered that the neighbor had not occupied the room yesterday. These two days, he had come back and met the middle-aged couple next door. He saw that he was a young man who had just arrived in Shangjing city living here. The neighbors began to take advantage of her.
Xia Pingan ignored her and opened the door to his room. He entered and closed the door.
The apartment is more than 50 square meters. There’s only one living room and one bedroom. There’s a space of a few square meters in the corner of the living room, where there’s an iron stove for burning coal. A chimney made of sand and iron is connected to the iron stove. The iron stove is located in the kitchen. There’s a small bathroom beside my bedroom. All the furniture in the room are ready, but they’re a bit old.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
However, didn’t he fuse with the spiritual will crystal? why did he feel like he was fusing with the realm bead as usual? if he went to see Duke Wen of Jin in a hurry, he might be shot to death by that incapable ruler.
As Xia Pingan listened to the person opposite her, she was puzzled.
Just as Xia Pingan was trying to figure out how the spiritual will crystal could allow a Summoner to successfully merge with the realm bead, he suddenly saw lines of golden words appear in the void in front of him.
The Golden words were words that Summoners could understand and not flamy.
... Jin linggong built a nine layer platform, cost thousands of gold, said: “Those who dare to admonish will be executed!” When Xun Xi heard this, he sent a letter asking for an audience. Duke Ling raised his crossbow and arrow. “This official does not dare to remonstrate. I can play twelve games of chess, plus nine chicken chess.” The Duke said,”the son was made by me.” Xun Xi’s expression turned serious, and he calmed his will. He placed a chess piece on top of the nine chicken pieces, and his left and right were filled with fear. He was filled with fear, and the aura of spirit Duke was no longer present. The Duke said,”danger!” This is dangerous!” Xun Xi said,”this is not dangerous, but there are other dangerous people ..” “I’m willing to see you.” Xun Xi said, ” the nine-story platform has not been completed in three years. Men don’t plow, women don’t weave. The country is empty. The neighboring countries are on the verge of prosperity. The country is destroyed. What does the king want? ” “It’s my fault, and that’s all!” Duke Ling said. Even the nine levels of the stage would be destroyed.
......
Only Xia ping ‘an could see these words that had appeared in the void. The person sitting in front of him was still talking, and he didn’t notice anything unusual.
Xia ping ‘an finally understood how the spiritual crystal allowed the summoner to fuse with the realm bead.
To a certain extent, this divine thought crystal was equivalent to directly announcing the answer to clearing the level. If the summoner still could not successfully integrate it under such circumstances, then there was no other explanation other than incompetence and stupidity.
The fusion of the realm pearls was successful. Due to the mystery of the boundary between realms, everyone would forget everything that happened during the fusion process. Hence, no one knew how the spiritual will crystal affected the summoner’s fusion of the realm pearls.

“Tell duangong that I will go to the palace tomorrow and advise the king to give up on building the qiongtai stage!” Xia Pingan said to the person in front of him.
“Thank you for your trouble, Sir!” The man on the other side bowed to Xia Pingan and then left.
After the man left, Xia Pingan thought for a moment and asked the attendant outside the door to get him a plate of chess pieces and dozens of eggs. He wanted to practice at home first before going.
The next day, Xia ping ‘an went to the palace to see Duke Ling Jin. Everything was as Xia ping’ an had expected. After seeing Xia ping ‘an’s acrobatic moves of using chess pieces and eggs, Duke Ling Jin finally realized how unreliable the nine-story qiongtai was after Xia ping’ an’s admonishments. Fearing that it would stir up a great change, Duke Ling Jin finally gave up the plan of wasting manpower and money to build a nine-story qiongtai.
The fusion of the divine power bead was successful.
......
Xia Pingan, who was in the bedroom, opened his eyes very quickly and started to fuse with the second realm Pearl.
Since he already knew how the spiritual will crystal worked, he did not waste the precious spiritual will crystal on the second realm Pearl. Instead, he started to merge with the realm Pearl.
The second realm Pearl was also much easier to fuse. Even elementary school students could do it. It was just the story of Tian Ji’s horse racing. However, in this story, Xia Pingan had to play the role of Sun Bin.
