The Glorious Summoner

At noon, Xia ping ‘an stood on the lakeside Street in Coland and sighed at the building in front of him.

In front of Lakeside Street was a natural lake in the downtown area of Koland. There was a large forest of sycamore trees and red pines by the lake, making the air very pleasant. Lakeside Road was around the lake, which had many taverns, a business district, and many high-end townhouses.

Everything here showed that this area was the gathering place for the upper class of the city.

The house number 169 on the lakeside Street in front of Xia Pingan was a townhouse here. It was a small two-story building. The dark red brick walls and white windowsills of the villa faced the street, making it look very elegant and exquisite. There was a porch at the door of the villa, and from the steps of the porch, one could see the sidewalk and the Green Belt. There was an Iron Green mailbox standing at the door of the villa. Most importantly, 100 meters to the left of the villa, there was a green mailbox. There was a police station on one block, and not far from the police station were a bank and a post office.

The killer was quite good at finding a place to stay. He found a place to stay right under the nose of the police station.

The iron gate of the villa was locked. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time.

“Young man, who are you looking for?”

Just as Xia Pingan was standing at the entrance of the villa and looking around, the door of villa 168 opened. A middle-aged woman with red curly hair and a voluptuous figure walked out of the room and went to the mailbox to pick up a magazine and milk. When she saw Xia Pingan looking around at the villa, she asked with some vigilance but also some enthusiasm.

Xia Pingan turned his head and looked at the middle-aged woman. He smiled and said, ” Hello, Madam. I’m checking if this is 169 Binhu Street.

“Of course, what’s written on the door plate?”

Oh, that’s right. I’m the new tenant here. Let’s get to know each other. My name is Xia Pingan!

“I’ve never seen you before?” The middle-aged woman said.

I asked a friend to rent this place from Sir Justin. I’ve never been here before, but today is my first time!

Oh, Sir Justin used to live here. He’s a real gentleman, ” the woman said, and her tone suddenly became much gentler.

yes, I heard that Sir Justin loves to travel, so it’s difficult to stay in one place for too long, ” Xia Pingan said as she walked up the steps to the porch of the villa. She took out her key and, under the gaze of the middle-aged female neighbor, inserted the key into the door lock. She turned it two times and opened the door. She then nodded slightly to the female neighbor, entered the room, and closed the door.

There was a cloakroom on the left side of the gate. On the first floor, there was a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, a washroom, a study room and a tea room. All the furniture in the room was covered with white cloth, which looked pretty clean. Besides some dust on the ground, all the furniture here were well preserved. Many of them were still new.

At the staircases of the villa, there was a passage leading to the basement. There were some sundries and tools in the basement. It could be seen that the original owner of this place was a very capable person. The basement was sealed and had no natural light. However, the owner had designed something similar to a light mirror, which reflected the light from the flower Hall on the first floor to the basement, so that the basement could see light in broad daylight.

The second floor of the villa had two bedrooms, a greenhouse, a fencing training room, and an entertainment room.

What Xia Pingan was most concerned about was the safety of this place. He carefully checked the doors and windows of this villa. Rich people used to live here, and rich people were probably afraid of accidents, so the doors and windows here had been reinforced. As long as the windows were closed, the iron-carved window panes were very difficult to damage. If they were damaged, it would make a lot of noise.

Xia Pingan went to the study. There was a deer head specimen hanging in the study. Next to the deer head was a bronze lamp holder. He pulled the lamp holder down with force, and a bookcase against the wall of the study slid open silently, revealing a door behind it. Going down from the door was a secret room. The door was quite heavy and was completely embedded in the stone wall. There was a safety lock in the secret room, which could completely close the door from the inside.

Once the door was closed, the bookshelf outside would automatically return to its original position, without any trace of a mechanism.

This backroom was less than 30 square meters. There was a bed, a table, and some boxes on the table.

Xia Pingan opened one of the long wooden boxes and took a look. holy sh * t! there was a high-precision rifle, a pistol, hundreds of bullets, a dagger, and a few explosives in the box.

The iron case beside him was full of military iron cans and some big bottles of water in military kettles. It seemed that siegerskiner really wanted to turn this place into a sanctuary at the critical moment.

Xia ping ‘an even used the dagger to stab into the cracks of the secret room’s floor. She found that the secret room’s floor was very hard. When she used the dagger to stab into it, she could really hear the sharp sound of metal scratching. This secret room was really isolated with a metal layer, which could block out the perception and detection from the outside.

Xia Pingan used more than ten minutes to walk around the entire villa and found that this place could be moved in as long as it was cleaned. Other than being safe, this villa had another advantage. It was spacious and convenient to travel. There were more rich people nearby. As long as she hung a sign outside the villa and tidied up the tea room on the first floor, her Zhou Gong building could open for business again.

Xia Pingan was especially satisfied with the secret room behind the study. With that secret room, he would have a basic guarantee of safety when he fused with the realm bead and would no longer have to worry about it.

It just so happened that it was broad daylight now, and the probability of any accidents happening was low. The police station was not far away, so no one would want to break in and cause a big commotion in broad daylight to harm her. After Xia Pingan strolled around the villa, she decided to go all out. She went straight to the secret room in the study, closed the door, and sat cross-legged on the bed in the secret room. She took out the realm Pearl of ” Tao Hongjing’s enlightenment ” and dripped her blood to fuse it.

After a short while, Xia Pingan was surrounded by a colorful cocoon of light that was like a rainbow.

......

As soon as Xia Pingan opened his eyes, he found himself in a study. On the bookshelf next to him, there were many classic books, ” Laojun’s six armor talisman “, ” xiyue gongjin mountain talisman “, ” five mountains true form diagram “, ” three Emperor characters “, ” five talismans of Lingbao “, ” taiqing plants and vegetation collection “, ” taiqing Zhu Elixir Collection “, and so on. There was a window in the study that was open, and he could see the mountains and rivers outside. It was particularly beautiful.

Xia ping ‘an only had to look out of the window to immediately recognize that the scenery outside the study room was that of Maoshan. Tao Hongjing had lived in Maoshan with some of his disciples in his later years and was known as the ” mountain Prime Minister.

Just as Xia Pingan was thinking about what this realm Pearl was going to do, hurried footsteps were heard outside his study room. A voice suddenly appeared outside the study room, ” master, master, something big has happened. Large patches of seven-colored auspicious clouds suddenly appeared above the cave where senior brother Huan Kai is in seclusion. There’s also heavenly music falling from the sky. Come and take a look, hehe.

When Xia Pingan heard this, he was shocked. He suddenly thought of something and walked out of the study room. Outside the study room, there was a man in his thirties wearing a Daoist robe. The man was extremely excited. When he saw Xia Pingan come out, he quickly bowed to Xia Pingan again and said, ” master, quickly go and take a look!

Tao Hongjing’s study was on the third floor. Xia Pingan quickly went downstairs and saw a few disciples standing on the lawn outside the small building he lived in. They were looking up and pointing at the eastern sky.

Xia ping ‘an followed the eyes of those disciples and saw a colorful cloud in the sky changing on a mountain not far from the building. It was very magical. What was more magical was that he could hear music coming from the sky. The surrounding disciples were all stunned and had no idea what was happening.

“The place where the seven-colored clouds are at seems to be the mountain where senior brother Huan Kai is in seclusion. Hehe.”

“That’s right. I don’t know what happened, but the seven-colored auspicious clouds suddenly began to show signs of rustling.”

“There’s actually heavenly music in the sky. What’s going on?”

ah, master is coming out! seeing Xia ping ‘an, all the disciples bowed to him.

Xia ping ‘an immediately knew what was going on. To be honest, Xia ping’ an was extremely excited at this moment. After merging so many realm beads, this was the first time he had experienced such a legendary scene.

“Master, what’s with the seven-colored auspicious clouds and the music coming from the sky?” One of the disciples asked.

don’t panic, that’s because your senior brother Huan Kai has achieved Dao today and is already ranked as an immortal. He’s leaving soon, hehe, ” Xia Pingan said in a slightly shocked voice.

ah!!!! all the disciples were shocked.

Xia ping ‘an didn’t say a word and strode towards the mountain where the seven-colored auspicious clouds appeared. The other disciples saw their master heading towards the mountain where senior brother Huan Kai was in seclusion and quickly followed.

The mountaintop was not far from here. It only took Xia Pingan over 10 minutes to climb to the top of the mountain. At this place, the music in the sky became more distinct. The changing colorful auspicious clouds covered the entire mountaintop like an umbrella. The auspicious Qi was really shocking. There was a cave on the mountaintop, which faced East.

Before Xia ping ‘an could speak, a deep voice came from the cave. but master is here. Please come into the cave and have a chat!

Xia ping ‘an entered the cave while the others stayed outside. Xia ping’ an did not enter the cave when he entered. He saw a simple-looking Taoist priest sitting cross-legged in the cave, smiling at him.

The entire cave was filled with a strange fragrance.

congratulations, fellow Daoist! Xia Pingan calmed down and bowed to the Taoist.

“Thank you, master, for your teachings all these years. That’s why Huan Kai can achieve Dao today!” The disciple also bowed to Xia ping ‘an.

Xia ping ‘an sighed. Tao Hongjing’s disciple Huan Kai vindicated his Dao before Tao Hongjing. This matter was too famous. He didn’t expect to experience this scene today.

...

“I’ve never slacked off in my cultivation and have always been diligent. You’ve already attained the Dao today. Do you know if I’ve made any mistakes that have caused me to remain in the world and have yet to attain the Dao?” Xia Pingan sighed and asked this question directly.

“Master, you have accumulated enough Yin techniques. You will also attain Dao, but it will be twelve years later!” Huan Kai said.

“Why would it be twelve years later?”

master, the ” notes on classics of herbs ” that you compiled previously used leeches, mosquitoes, and gadflies and various insects and beasts as medicine. Although the work is beneficial to humans, it is harmful to lives. Killing lives to save lives, but living further will hurt the harmony of the heavens. Therefore, master’s time to comprehend the form and attain Dao has been delayed! After Huan Kai finished speaking, he closed his eyes with a smile and stopped breathing.

The entire cave was filled with a strange fragrance. Meanwhile, the seven-colored auspicious clouds in the sky outside the cave also flew towards the horizon and disappeared in a short while, causing the disciples outside to exclaim in surprise.

Was this the scene of ancient Huaxia’s great cultivators unlocking their forms and achieving Dao?

Seeing this, Xia Pingan’s heart trembled. At this point, Xia Pingan finally knew how he was going to fuse with this realm Pearl.

After receiving the Enlightenment from his disciple, Tao Hongjing, in order to make up for his mistake in cultivating the ” notes of the classics of herbs “, later on, he spent several years re-writing three volumes of ” Bie Ben Cao “, using herbs and other drugs to completely replace drugs such as insects and beasts. He finally attained Dao at the age of 81.

For the next few years, Xia ping ‘an stayed on Mao mountain with no other distractions, concentrating on writing ” Bie Ben Cao “.

When the book was finished and published in the world, the world of this realm Pearl was also shattered.

......

...

In the secret chamber, as the light cocoon on Xia Pingan’s body shattered, Xia Pingan finally opened his eyes. His eyes flickered with a divine light. In just a moment, his body had undergone another change.

The realm Pearl of ” Tao Hongjing’s enlightenment ” had increased 81 points of divine power. In addition to the 36 points of divine power he had gained from the integration of the green-clothed emissary’s realm Pearl, the two realm pearls had increased 117 points of divine power.

I’ve finally gained another divine bone. My physical strength seems to have increased as well, ” Xia Pingan mumbled to himself as he touched the top of his head. At this moment, the divine bone on his head was no longer one, but two. He had just gained another one. 99 divine bones. Each divine bone requires an additional 99 points of divine power. This means that the difference in the upper limit of divine power between a demigod and an apotheosized God is 9801 points. I’m now on the second step of the celestial ladder, as long as I have enough realm beads. I’ll soon become a high-level God’s chosen one, until the last step of apotheosis.”

After the God’s chosen ones in this world fused with the realm bead, for every 99 points of increase in the upper limit of their divine power, there would be one more piece of God’s bone in their bodies. Xia Pingan had just experienced this wonderful process.
