Thirteen days later.
Lu An sat cross-legged in his room, the ice and fire in his body constantly moving through his skin, causing the surrounding environment to change. He saw that the tea on the table would sometimes become boiling hot and then completely freeze. It was extremely strange.
This situation started in the morning and lasted until noon. When it stopped, the air in the room seemed to have become quiet. After ten breaths, Lu An slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were bright and deep like a black hole.
He gently exhaled. The training from last night until now had made him feel tired. However, a smile soon appeared on his face. There was no other reason other than the fact that his cultivation had improved from Early Rank 3 to Mid Rank 3.
Just this step alone took him nearly four months. This speed was much slower than his previous cultivation, and he had a deep understanding of this point. However, these four months also allowed his alchemy skills to improve a lot, so it was not a waste.
Because it was noon, Lu An did not want to sleep even if he was tired. After washing up, he felt a lot more energetic. He opened the door and walked out of the room.
Walking out of the courtyard, Lu An found Beauty Yang and Xiao Rou sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard. There was a lot of food on the stone table. When Lu An saw this, he felt a little hungry and walked over.
Beauty Yang naturally felt Lu An walking towards the pavilion. When Lu An entered the pavilion, she stood up and looked at Lu An and said, "Congratulations Master for improving your cultivation."
Hearing this, Lu An smiled and said, "Have you guys had lunch?"
"No." Xiao Rou also stood up with an elegant posture. She gently shook her head and said, "Sister Yang said you would come out at noon, so we are all waiting for you."
"So it's like this." Lu An was startled and said, "In that case, let's eat."
"But … we are not prepared." Beauty Yang was slightly nervous. She looked at Lu An and said carefully, "We have almost never left the courtyard these days. It is really boring. Why don't we go out and eat?"
Lu An was stunned again. Then, he understood something and looked at Xiaorou.
He knew Beauty Yang's personality very well. Back when she accompanied him on Mount Dacheng Sky Mountain, Beauty Yang would not feel bored even if she locked herself in her room for three months. How could she be bored after just ten days? It seemed that Xiao Rou couldn't stay any longer and wanted to go out for a walk.
Lu An had also heard that the elves advocated freedom. After frowning slightly, he finally nodded and said, "Alright."
Hearing Lu An's agreement, Beauty Yang and Xiao Rou both heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. Xiao Rou's face revealed an unconcealable joy.
"But before we go out, we need to dress Xiao Rou up." Lu An looked at Xiao Rou and said, "Tie up her long hair and put on a headscarf. Make sure that not a single strand of hair appears, or else we'll be in trouble."
"Yes." Beauty Yang nodded and said, "Leave it to me."
Lu An smiled. He was naturally at ease with Beauty Yang taking care of things. Beauty Yang and Rourou left the pavilion and returned to their room to dress up. In less than two incense sticks worth of time, the two women appeared again.
When Xiao Rou appeared again, Lu An's eyes were obviously startled. He looked at Xiao Rou's coiled hair that was completely covered by the headscarf, as if her hair reached her shoulders. There was also a veil on her face. It was a translucent veil, and with a red dot between her eyebrows, she looked very stunning.
But although she was stunning, she didn't look like an elf at all.
Seeing such an image, Lu An also felt relieved and left the courtyard with the two women. The three of them soon came to a tavern and asked for a first-class private room. Soon, delicious food was served.
With such delicious food, their appetite was naturally stimulated. Xiao Rou, as an elf, either had Beauty Yang buy some dry food from outside or Lu An cook some simple dishes when she was in the courtyard. How could there be such delicious food in the tavern? She, who was naturally romantic, didn't care about her image and ate in big mouthfuls.
Lu An and Beauty Yang smiled when they saw this and ate slowly. However, not long after the three of them ate, there was a sudden knock on the door of the private room.
Lu An was startled. The dishes on the table were all served. Who else would knock on the door?
"Who is it?" Lu An put down his chopsticks and looked at the door.
"Young Master Lu, it's me, Li Shuo." A clear voice came from outside the door. Just the voice alone made people feel that it was very opinionated.
Lu An was slightly startled. He didn't expect it to be Li Shuo who he had made a deal with at the auction house. After thinking for a while, he said, "Please come in."
The door opened. Li Shuo stood alone at the door with a smile and walked in.
"It really is Young Master Lu." Li Shuo saw Lu An and revealed a happy smile. He said politely, "I just saw your back outside. I was afraid that I would mistake you for someone else. I didn't expect to meet Young Master in this tavern. It's really fate."
Lu An was stunned when he heard this. Right at this moment, he suddenly heard Beauty Yang's voice enter his ears.
"Her carriage is still outside. She just rushed over from somewhere else."
Lu An looked at Beauty Yang. Beauty Yang had sent a telepathic message, so he naturally believed her. However, he did not expose her, and he got up and smiled at Li Shuo as he said, "What a coincidence. How has Miss Li been?"
"Not good." Li Shuo seemed to have been waiting for Lu An to say this. He sighed softly and said, "Young Master Lu, do you know what happened in Snatching Light City recently?"
Lu An was startled. He shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"For the past half a month, our Five Great Clans have been fighting fiercely." Li Shuo's face turned serious. He said in a deep voice, "Things have changed from a small fight to a business war and bloody war. The Five Great Clans don't differentiate between each other. Almost all the spies in the other clans have been wiped out. Just the number of people who have died is probably more than 200. "
Lu An frowned slightly. He asked doubtfully, "Snatching Light City is so chaotic. Shouldn't the Alchemist Union come out to uphold justice?"
"Uphold justice?" Li Shuo laughed coldly. He shook his head and said, "The Alchemist Union wouldn't meddle in other people's business. Moreover, they can't wait to see the Five Great Clans fighting each other. Only then will they be able to earn more."
Lu An frowned even more. However, he smiled and said, "Miss, I'm afraid there's no point in telling me these things. With my abilities, I won't be able to help."
"No, you can." Li Shuo's eyes suddenly turned sharp. He stared at Lu An and said seriously.
Lu An was startled. However, he didn't say anything.
Seeing that Lu An didn't say anything, Li Shuo didn't wait. Instead, he continued, "I told Young Master about the Mountain Excursion Gathering. The gathering will be held the day after tomorrow. When the Mountain Excursion Gathering starts, the Five Great Clans will rush into Yun Guang Mountain. When the time comes, I'm afraid the Five Great Clans will make a move. "
"Make a move?" Lu An smiled. He shook his head and said, "Miss, you think too highly of me. The Patriarchs of the Five Great Clans are all Level Six Heavenly Masters. They have countless Heavenly Masters under them. I'm just an ordinary person. How can I compete with these Heavenly Masters?"
"The Mountain Excursion Gathering doesn't require the Patriarchs of the Five Great Clans to personally attend." Li Shuo immediately said, "As for Level Five Heavenly Masters, everyone knows that the Mountain Excursion Gathering is extremely dangerous. To be on the safe side, I'm afraid the number of Level Five Heavenly Masters sent out will be very small. Most of them will be Level Four Heavenly Masters."
"However, even Level Five and Level Four Heavenly Masters aren't people I can deal with." Lu An smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Not to mention Level Four Heavenly Masters, even Level One Heavenly Masters would want my life. I'm just an ordinary person. I don't want to throw my life away. "
Hearing Lu An's repeated rejections, Li Shuo's brows became tighter and tighter. He said in a deep voice, "Young Master, there's no need to be so modest. Although I'm not a Heavenly Master, I think my eyesight is very good. Young Master is definitely not an ordinary person."
"This … I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you." Lu An helplessly smiled bitterly and said, "I'm really not a Heavenly Master. As for the pills, I didn't refine them. They were refined by someone else."
Hearing this, Li Shuo's eyes became more and more serious. There was also a trace of disappointment.
"Miss, please go back." Seeing this, Lu An didn't want to talk about this anymore. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "If there are more pills, I'll look for you."
Seeing Lu An's attitude, Li Shuo's brows became tighter and tighter. However, he didn't say a word and turned around to walk towards the door.
She was angry.
Lu An smiled bitterly, but he didn't think too much about it. Instead, he sat back down on the chair and picked up his chopsticks to continue eating.
However, just as Li Shuo walked to the door and was about to take a step out, his body suddenly froze.
He saw that his foot in the air was forcefully pulled back. He turned around and looked at Lu An's back.
"In the depths of Yunguang Mountain, it is said that a strange red fog forest appeared. The strange beasts were affected by it and went crazy. I wonder if Young Master is interested?"
Pa.
The chopsticks that Lu An had just picked up were heavily slammed on the table.
