Lu An stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Zhang Rui.
There were only two things that could pique his interest. One was alchemy, and the other was weapon refinement.
In terms of Heaven techniques, he had two seventh-grade Heaven techniques that he needed to continue cultivating. Moreover, he also had the powerful Divine Palm Technique. In terms of weapons, he was already used to the Frost Dagger and did not want to change. As for crystal cores, he had a few in his ring, and he did not need them.
However, even the person in the black fog could not teach him alchemy and weapon refinement. The person in the black fog was not interested in these two aspects, so he knew very little about them. Currently, the highest level of pills that he could refine were still the Constitution-Enhancing Pill and the Dual Four-Flavor Pill. These two pills were only first-grade pills, and he wanted to improve.
Therefore, the alchemy recipe became the most important thing.
Zhang Rui did not expect this young man to stop because of this sentence. Seeing that the young man was looking at her, she asked, "What alchemy recipe?"
"This …" Zhang Rui did not react for a moment, but after quickly filtering through the alchemy recipe at home in her mind, she quickly said, "Triyuan Pill!"
"Triyuan Pill?" Lu An frowned and asked, "What's that?"
"It's a pill that can quickly replenish Heaven's Origin Force!" Zhang Rui quickly said, "If a Level Two Celestial Master eats it, they can recover at least 30% of their Heaven's Origin Force within 20 breaths!"
Hearing this, Lu An's heart skipped a beat.
Speaking of healing, he also had the Constitution-Enhancing Pill. However, the Constitution-Enhancing Pill could only treat pain and repair the body. It could not replenish the Heaven's Origin Force. If he had this Triyuan Pill, he would be able to last longer in battle.
At the side, Zhang Rui saw that Lu An was tempted and quickly said, "This Triyuan Pill is not an ordinary second-grade alchemy recipe, but a second-grade high-grade alchemy recipe. It is very useful even if one is at the peak of second-grade!"
Sure enough, this sentence moved Lu An once again. Yao Yao quietly looked at Lu An and did not disturb him.
"Sure." Suddenly, Lu An spoke. Just as Zhang Rui was about to get excited, he continued, "But I have two conditions."
Zhang Rui was stunned and asked, "What condition?"
"First, not only do I want the pill recipe, I also want the three sets of ingredients inside." Lu An said.
Three portions?
Zhang Rui frowned and lowered her head to think. The materials needed for the Sanyuan Dan were not that common, and they were also very expensive. Any material related to Heaven Origin Energy was extremely valuable, and three sets of it was already a lot of money.
However, after Zhang Rui glanced at Lu An, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!"
"Second, prepare a carriage for me and her," Lu An said again. "Unless someone comes to attack us, we will not show ourselves."
"Sure." This time, Zhang Rui agreed without hesitation. "But if someone comes to attack, you must not leave us behind."
"Of course not." Lu An nodded and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first. You should know where I live. I'm not familiar with this place. Come and pick me up before we leave tomorrow. "
After saying that, Lu An turned around and was about to leave.
Zhang Rui saw Lu An walking towards the stairs and could not help but frown. She anxiously asked, "You still haven't told me your name!"
Lu An stopped and turned to look at Zhang Rui.
"Lu An." Lu An said, "An as in Ping An."
After saying that, Lu An turned around again and quickly left the restaurant with Yao.
On the second floor, only Zhang Rui was left standing in the same place, lost in thought. The other guests on the second floor all knew Zhang Rui and knew of her fiery temper, so no one dared to provoke her.
"Lu An …" Zhang Rui muttered to herself, "It's a nice name."

The night passed without a word.
The next morning, Lu An And Yao woke up early. The two of them, who slept under the same roof every day, did not feel any discomfort. In the beginning, when Yao slept in the same room as Lu An, she was more or less worried, but now she was not worried at all.
The reason why Lu An agreed to Zhang Rui's request was not only because of the elixir recipe, but also because he could travel with them. Lu An felt that most of the time, he got into trouble because others saw that he was just a teenager and deliberately bullied him. If he traveled with the Zhang family, he was afraid that no one would dare to provoke him again.
Moreover, the speed of the escort agency was never slow. After all, the slower they were, the more dangerous it would be. He and these people happened to be going the same way. It would not be too late to split up when they reached the imperial capital.
After the two of them tidied themselves up, there was a sudden knock on the door. Lu An walked to the door and opened it. Sure enough, it was Zhang Rui standing at the door.
Zhang Rui glanced at the two people in the room and frowned. She did not expect this young man and this woman to have such a relationship. Moreover, she had not seen this woman's face until now.
Zhang Rui, who originally had a good impression of Lu An, seemed to have been splashed with a bucket of cold water, and her enthusiasm decreased a lot. She glanced at Lu An and said, "The convoy is already waiting downstairs. Let's set off quickly."
Seeing Zhang Rui's suddenly sullen face, Lu An was a little startled. This woman really changed her face faster than flipping a book. However, he did not say anything and followed behind her with Yao. They quickly walked downstairs and arrived outside the inn.
Sure enough, the Zhang family was already waiting downstairs. When they saw Lu An appear, their faces could not help but be a little gloomy, and even a little hostile. After all, Zhang Rui held a very high position in their hearts. They would definitely not forgive Lu An for injuring Zhang Rui.
According to the agreement, Zhang Rui prepared a carriage for the two of them. Compared to the other Zhang family members, the two of them had a much more comfortable journey, which made the Zhang family members very dissatisfied.
However, although they were dissatisfied, the two of them were personally called by Zhang Rui, so they would not say anything. After the two of them got into the carriage, the convoy quickly set off and set off towards the north of the city.
Not long after, the convoy left the city in a grandiose manner. This convoy was actually very long. Just the goods alone were enough to fill six carriages. These goods were to be sent to the imperial capital. No one knew what was inside. However, the people who hired the Zhang family were also very generous. Almost half of the Zhang family's people were mobilized just for this escort.
The convoy had been hurrying along, and soon, four hours had passed. In the carriage, Lu An had been cultivating with his eyes closed the whole time. Yao, on the other hand, was bored to death. Occasionally, she would look outside, but there was only an endless field of crops outside. There was nothing to see.
After a while, it was noon, and the convoy finally stopped to rest. After all, even if the people were not tired, the horses were tired. Moreover, it was lunchtime, so both the people and the horses needed to eat.
Lu An And Yao also dismounted from their horses. After sitting for the whole morning, they also needed to move their bodies. The lunch was very simple. It was the most ordinary dry food.
Escorting was not as interesting as it seemed. On the contrary, it was very boring. Lu An took two portions of dry food and returned to the side of the carriage. He handed them to Yao who was standing outside the carriage.
Yao had been wearing a veil hat, so it was not suitable for her to eat in front of others. She put the dry food under the veil of the veil hat and slowly ate it.
In the distance, the people from the escort agency were gathered together to eat. However, while eating, they would occasionally look at Lu An's direction. Their expressions and words were full of disdain.
They really could not understand why Zhang Rui invited these two people. Wasn't she inviting two big shots?
Lu An felt their gazes, but he completely ignored them. He did not even look at them. He was only focused on eating the steamed bun. At this moment, he heard footsteps beside him.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Just as Lu An turned his head, a person stood in front of him.
It was a man wearing a robe. Moreover, the material was definitely of the highest quality. The luster and softness of the silk were rarely seen. Moreover, this person held a folding fan in his hand and looked at Lu An with a smile on his face.
It was obvious that this person was not from the escort agency. He was probably the employer who hired the escort agency. After all, there were two more carriages in front of these six wagons.
Lu An looked at this person and asked, "Is there something you need?"
"Nothing." The person smiled and said heartily, "It's just that I saw the scene of you and Zhang Rui fighting at the entrance of Zhang Mansion yesterday. Moreover, you are so young. Your future is limitless. "
Lu An looked at this person. He was somewhat puzzled. He did not know what this person wanted to say.
"What I want to ask you is …" The person raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you interested in developing your career in the Imperial Capital?"
