A week later.
Madam Liu finished her vigil and everything in the Liu Residence was back on track. With the help of the accountant, Madam Liu slowly took over the Liu Residence's affairs. Lu An also kept his promise to protect the Liu Residence and did not leave.
In the past seven days, Lu An had been in a state of sleep, receiving the tempering of the man in the black fog. He could only rest for six hours out of the 24 hours. Such a high-intensity tempering was unimaginable even in the academy, not to mention that Lu An was tempering his body with extreme Yang and extreme Yin fire.
However, there was always a return on investment. Under the high-intensity tempering, Lu An's body was rapidly advancing toward the Heaven Master level. On the seventh day, Lu An had clearly touched the bottleneck of the Heaven Master level.
Lu An could feel that he had completed the tempering of his body and was only left with the last barrier. This barrier could be broken with just a light tap, like a thin piece of paper.
Since Lu An could feel it, the man in the black fog could also feel it. After completing the last bit of tempering, the man in the black fog withdrew all the ice and fire from Lu An's body and finally revealed a relieved expression.
"Just the last step." The man in the black fog said in a heavy voice, "This last step is not troublesome for ordinary people, but you are different. You have three Fate Wheels, so it is very likely that something unexpected will happen. However, it is impossible to predict what will happen. You can only rely on your own ability. Once you break through, you will successfully enter the Heaven Master level and become a true Heaven Master. "
Lu An frowned when he heard the first half of the sentence, but he laughed happily when he heard the second half. He stood up from the ground and nodded vigorously.
"You used less than five months to go from knowing nothing to becoming a Heaven Master. If you were in a small country like the Midnight Kingdom or the Tiancheng Kingdom, you would be considered a genius. However, in a real continent, you are nothing. I told you that I have seen someone who used only one day to go from a Level One Heaven Master to a Heaven Master. Think about the difference yourself, "the man in the black fog said.
Lu An was stunned when he heard this. He gradually withdrew his smile and nodded seriously. "I understand."
"Of course, I'm not trying to dispel your enthusiasm. I'm just telling you that there's always someone better out there. Don't be complacent just because you think you're very powerful." The person in the black fog continued, "The next breakthrough should not be carried out in the Liu Residence. Find a place where there is no one within a five-kilometer radius. When people with Fate Wheels break through, there will be strange phenomena. You have three Fate Wheels. I am afraid that you will attract attention. "
Lu An's body shook. He nodded again and said solemnly, "Yes!"
"Since you want to break through, don't waste time. Quickly break through and go to the Dacheng Sky Mountain. When the time comes, I can rest for a while and won't have to help you cultivate," the person in the black fog said.
With that, the figure of the person in the black fog dissipated. Lu An looked at the empty Sea of Consciousness. He didn't stay any longer and withdrew from the state of nap.
Lu An took a deep breath and wiped the sweat off his face before he got up and left the room. He looked at the people in the Liu Residence who were still busy. Since such a big change had happened in the residence, it was only right that they were busy for a while.
Lu An came to the study room. At that moment, Madam Liu was carefully reading the account book behind the desk. There was an accountant and a few students around her teaching her. He could see that Madam Liu was confused and flustered. It was indeed very difficult for a woman to carry the burden of the family.
"Madam Liu," Lu An said softly.
As soon as he said that, he immediately attracted the attention of a few people in the study room. The accountant and the students smiled when they saw Lu An. Lu An was the benefactor of the Liu Residence. They immediately cupped their fists and said, "Greetings, Young Hero Lu."
Madam Liu also stood up quickly and said with a bow, "Young Hero Lu."
"Madam Liu, you don't have to be so polite." Lu An smiled and walked to the desk. He said, "I'm here to say goodbye to Madam Liu. I've been disturbing your residence for many days. Now that the Liu Residence is on the right track, it's time for me to leave."
"Young Hero Lu, you're leaving?" Madam Liu was stunned and panicked. She quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
Before she finished speaking, Madam Liu realized that her question was too abrupt. She quickly bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just in a hurry. May I ask where Young Hero Lu is going?"
Lu An naturally didn't mind. He smiled and said, "I mentioned before that I'm going to Dacheng Sky Mountain to learn from a master."
Madam Liu's face turned pale when she heard that. She didn't know what to say. The accountant next to her was also very anxious. He quickly said, "Young Hero Lu, you've saved the Liu Residence twice. It's a great kindness and also proves that you have an indissoluble bond with the Liu Residence. Why don't you stay in Qing Bei City and advance and retreat with the Liu Residence?"
"That's right!" Madam Liu immediately grasped at straws when she heard that. She quickly nodded and said, "If you stay in the residence, I can treat you as a guest. I'm also willing to pay twice as much as others. What do you think, Young Hero Lu? Without you, what if someone comes to the Liu Residence to cause trouble …? "
Lu An was stunned. He looked at Madam Liu's anxious face and his heart softened. However, he had already made up his mind to leave. His goal was not to be an elder or a guest, but to become a powerhouse.
"I'm sorry, Madam Liu. I have to leave." Lu An took a light breath and said seriously, "I'll have to ask Madam Liu to find someone else."
Hearing Lu An's resolute tone, whether it was Madam Liu or the housekeepers and students around them, their hearts sank and their faces showed helplessness. Madam Liu's face was as pale as a sheet of white paper.
After a few breaths, Madam Liu finally sighed and looked up at Lu An. She bowed and said, "Young Hero Lu, no matter what you choose, you'll always be my benefactor. If Young Hero Lu really wants to leave, can you leave tomorrow? Please allow me to host a banquet tonight. Otherwise, I'll blame myself for the rest of my life. "
Lu An was stunned, but seeing Madam Liu's sincerity, he could only nod and say, "That's good. Tonight's banquet, I'll leave tomorrow."
Hearing Lu An's agreement, Madam Liu immediately smiled. She quickly turned to the bookkeeper beside her and ordered, "Go prepare now. We must send Young Hero Lu off with the best banquet!"
"Yes!" The bookkeeper immediately said.
Lu An smiled and said, "I still have some things to do. I won't be eating lunch in the residence. I'll be back on time before the banquet."
"Okay, Young Hero Lu, please go ahead." Madam Liu said with a smile.

After leaving the Liu Residence, Lu An went straight to the east of the city. He had asked around. Outside the east of the city was a desolate mountain forest. Because there were too many mountains, there wasn't even a mountain path. No one would go there to hunt. As a result, it became the best place for Lu An to make a breakthrough.
After Lu An rode out of the city, it took him half an hour to get to the foot of the mountain. Then, he rode for another half an hour before he found a place. There were only trees around here. There were no roads or footprints. The ground was covered with grass, which proved that almost no one had been here before.
After repeatedly confirming that there were no signs of wild beasts around, Lu An sat on the ground with his legs crossed. The reason why he was so cautious was that he didn't want to make any mistakes. After all, this was the most crucial step. He didn't allow any interference.
After sitting down, Lu An closed his eyes. The man in the black fog said that he couldn't help him break through the bottleneck of the Taoist Master, so he had to do everything by himself.
After concentrating, Lu An put all his perception into his heart. As the source of the Life Wheel, the heart was also the most important part of the breakthrough. After Lu An put all his perception into his heart, he suddenly felt that there were two types of energy, ice and fire, surging in his heart. He could clearly feel the temperature, which was wandering in his heart along their own paths. They didn't interfere with each other, nor were they compatible with each other.
At the same time, Lu An felt that the two types of energy had accumulated too much. His heart alone couldn't hold them. They needed a bigger container, and this container was his whole body.
With his heart as the base, with his heart as the source, and with his whole body as the carrier, he released all the ice and fire.
Lu An was very careful to explore and control the two types of energy in his heart. He needed to break through the barrier in his heart, and this step was the step to make a breakthrough.
For this, he tempered himself for nearly five months without rest. He was confident in his body. Whether it was his meridians or bones, they could definitely withstand the violent energy of these two types of energy!
Closing his eyes, Lu An took a deep breath. Then, he frowned and clenched his teeth. He shouted in his heart, "Break!"
In an instant, the gap between his heart and his meridians was opened. Two violent forces swept through Lu An's body in an instant!
In an instant, Lu An's body turned red and white! Not only that, but there were also two rays of light, one red and one white, shooting into the sky!
