After hearing Shang Gong's words, Lu An was more or less relieved.
The reason why he was so powerful in the Dacheng Sky Mountain was naturally because of Han Ya. In his opinion, Han Ya's matter could not be made public. Moreover, if Liu Panshan insisted that he did not do it, there would be no evidence. After all, it had been so long, who could do anything to him?
Therefore, the only way was to kill Liu Panshan. However, if someone found out that they killed Liu Panshan, Lu An had to calculate the possibility of escaping from the Dacheng Sky Mountain.
However, two Level Six Heavenly Masters were enough to give Lu An a headache. The reason why he was so worried about Level Six Heavenly Masters was that he could not estimate their strength. He could calculate every level before that, but he could not after Level Six Heavenly Masters.
As it was already evening, the disciples quickly left. However, before they left, Lu An took out the box from his ring. The disciples did not expect Lu An to really take out the box. They were delighted!
When they opened the box, it was indeed filled with Crystal Cores. Although there were some rotten meat and bones, there were also many Crystal Cores. With so many Crystal Cores, they could be sold for a lot of money in the cities outside!
"Master will be more or less happy with the completion of the mission," Shang Gong said happily. "Leave the box here. We'll talk to Master tomorrow."
"Okay." Everyone nodded.

Six days later.
Life in the Inner Peak went on in an orderly manner. Where to go and what to do was already arranged by the elders. The only time that was not arranged was at night. However, Lu An went to the Sky Ascension Tower every night as expected.
Several times, Shang Gong, Gongye Qingshan, and the others asked Lu An to drink. After all, the path of cultivation was too bumpy. Whether it was physical or mental exhaustion, one needed to relax. The best way to relax in the Inner Peak was to drink.
Drinking was a great hobby in the Inner Peak. Everyone knew how to drink, and everyone liked to drink. However, they asked Lu An a few times, but Lu An rejected them all.
Of course, there was another way to relax in the Inner Peak, and that was dual cultivation. On the Inner Peak, as long as the two parties were husband and wife, the Inner Peak would naturally not interfere. It was for this reason that there were many couples getting married in the Inner Peak every year.
Early in the morning, Lu An opened his eyes in the Heaven Ascension Tower. He got up, stretched his muscles, and turned around to look behind him. After half a month of cultivation, he had successfully gotten a lot closer to the inside. However, there was still some distance between them and the center.
What made him both happy and surprised was that after half a month, not a single person had come to the second floor. It was as if the entire place had been reserved by him, and no one was fighting over it with him.
However, this also gave Lu An some peace and quiet. As usual, he tidied himself up and prepared to leave. However, just as he reached the first floor and was about to greet the elder, he heard footsteps outside.
The footsteps were very loud, and it was obvious that they were made by many people. Lu An curiously looked outside and saw a group of young people striding in.
He had never seen these young people before. After all, he had recognized almost everyone at the restaurant. However, he had never seen any of them before.
However, he recognized the person walking in front of these young people. It was the first person he met after entering the Inner Peak, Huang Zhizhong.
He saw Huang Zhizhong striding in. The elder sitting on the first floor had obviously seen him and quickly got up to greet him.
"Elder Huang." The elder quickly smiled and said, "Why are you here at the Heaven Ascension Tower so early in the morning?"
"Isn't it because of that matter? I think their strength can be improved. If I want to squeeze out their potential, the Heaven Ascension Tower is undoubtedly the best place. However, this group of kids is too lazy. If I don't force them, they won't even come to cultivate. "
Then, Huang Zhizhong glanced at the elder and asked, "How is it? There shouldn't be anyone on the second floor, right?"
"This …" The elder was stunned, then smiled and said, "Other than Lu An, there's no one else."
"Lu An?" Huang Zhizhong was stunned. Only then did he realize that Lu An was standing next to the stairs.
"Greetings, Elder Huang." Lu An looked at Huang Zhizhong. He did not expect to be seen at this time. Although he smiled bitterly in his heart, he still greeted him politely.
"Why are you here? And so early? " Huang Zhizhong looked at Lu An in astonishment. He had an impression of this kid. After all, he was brought here by Tong Tianshui. He asked, "You've been cultivating here for the whole night?"
"Not just one night. He cultivates here every night." Before Lu An could answer, the elder beside him spoke first.
Lu An's heart sank when he heard this.
"Really?" Huang Zhizhong was even more astonished. He looked at Lu An and asked, "The pressure on the second floor, can you withstand it?"
"I'm only at the periphery. I can barely withstand it." This time, Lu An spoke before the elder could. He quickly said, "Moreover, I only cultivate for a short while before I have to rest for a long time."
Hearing Lu An's words, the elder was stunned. He knew better than anyone else what Lu An's cultivation state was like. Lu An was someone who sat there for the whole night without moving at all. Why did this kid not want Huang Zhizhong to know?
However, since Lu An did not say anything, he could not continue to say anything. Sure enough, Huang Zhizhong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He said, "Like I said, even they don't dare to stay here for too long. How could you? However, your courage to come here and cultivate is commendable. "
Lu An smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, elder."
"All of you, follow me. From today onwards, you will be cultivating here." Huang Zhizhong said to the disciples behind him. Suddenly, the disciples started to howl in grief.
Soon, Huang Zhizhong and all the disciples entered the second floor. The first floor quickly quieted down. Lu An was somewhat worried when he saw so many people entering the second floor.
If these people cultivated day and night, then he would inevitably bump into them.
Thinking of this, Lu An came to the front of the elder and asked, "Elder, why did they come here to cultivate?"
Hearing Lu An's words, the elder was surprised. This matter was not a secret. He said, "Naturally, it's for the competition between the eight countries before the end of the year!"
"Competition between the eight countries?" Lu An was startled. This was the first time he heard this term. He asked, "What is that?"
"It's a way for the eight countries near us to compete with each other." Seeing that Lu An really knew nothing, the elder said, "Including the Tiancheng Country, these eight countries have frequent trade with each other. It's inevitable that there will be disputes between them. However, it's too costly to fight now. Moreover, it's meaningless for ordinary people to fight. It mainly depends on the major holy lands. "
"Therefore, every eight years, an exchange meeting will be held in one of the holy lands. The disciples selected by the major sects will compete with each other. It's also known as the 'competition between the eight countries'. Each country attaches great importance to this aspect. You know, once you rank high, you can get a lot of benefits from trade! Moreover, if you can win the championship, you will become the leader of the alliance for the next eight years. "
After hearing the elder's explanation, Lu An came to a sudden realization. Then he remembered that several of his most powerful senior brothers were also transferred away. It should be because of this matter, right?
Indeed, the competition between the big countries is the competition between the masters. If the elders were to fight, it would be too bloody and difficult to control. It's better to fight between the disciples.
Looking at Lu An's slightly contemplative look, the elder seemed to understand what he was worried about and said, "You can rest assured that these people are not as persistent as you. They really need to practice for a while and rest for a while. Not to mention a day, I estimate that they will be exhausted in the morning. "
Lu An was startled and asked, "Then I can practice by myself at night?"
"En, but you may have to leave early so that you won't meet them." The elder nodded and said, "But, why don't you want others to know your true level?"
Hearing the elder's answer, Lu An breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing the elder's question, Lu An smiled and said, "It doesn't make any sense. Moreover, a tall tree attracts the wind. There will be more trouble."
The elder was startled and could not help but say, "If I didn't know that you are only thirteen years old, I would have thought that you are thirty years old. A teenager should have a domineering and vigorous spirit. You are too mature. "
Lu An smiled and said, "I know. Thank you elder for your guidance."
"You brat." The elder saw Lu An's appearance and knew that he did not listen at all. He said, "By the way, have you ever thought about participating in the competition between the eight countries? Although your strength is at the middle of the second level, I feel that your strength is not that simple. "
Participate in the competition between the eight countries?
Lu An smiled and shook his head slightly and said, "Not interested."
