It's Obviously a Life Skill, But You Developed It Into a Magical Skill Chapter 236

This kind of master, this kind of aura, just from the outside, you will feel that it is unusual.

Zhou An is also a master, so he can naturally tell that the opponent's strength is definitely above the psychic realm.

 But what the old man is doing now is not in line with his temperament, and even feels inconsistent.

Through his clairvoyance, Zhou An could see that the old man was busy cooking in the kitchen.

 In the kitchen room, the old man skillfully lit the fire, served dishes, put ingredients, and stirred the pot...

 The whole process gives people the feeling of someone who has cooked frequently and is extremely familiar.

 In the dining room, a lot of food was already laid out, and it was obvious that it had just been cooked not long ago.

 When the last soup dish came out of the pot, the old man put the soup on the table and sat down slowly.

 Then, the old man's mouth moved. Although he did not speak, he could tell from the shape of his mouth.

 “Here you come, come in.”

 This sentence was said to Zhou An, because there was no one else here.

 At the level of Xu Nian, under Zhou An's clairvoyance, he naturally sensed that someone was monitoring him through special means.

This is Huaixi Capital, and it is also Zhou An's house. Apart from Zhou An, it is difficult to find another person who can use this unique method.

 So Xu Nian quickly guessed who it was.

Zhou An stood outside the door, touched his chin, then took the black jade, opened the door and walked in.

 “Let's go in and take a look before talking.”

Now it seems that this old man from the Holy Land does not seem to have any bad intentions, at least not yet.

Zhou An was also curious as to why the old man suddenly ran to his house and cooked such a lot of food.

 When Zhou An came to the room, before he could speak, the old man threw an object over.

Zhou An took it in his hand, looked at it carefully for a moment, and was slightly stunned: "Relic?"

 What was given to him was the relic of Chi Chan.

Zhou An used to have two, so he could naturally tell them at a glance.

“A well-known elder from Yefo Sect robbed the Yang family's shipment of magic medicine, but I killed him.”

Xu Nian said calmly: "Although the relics from the Wild Buddha Sect are a little weak, they can still be used."

“I know you want this, so I'll give it to you.”

Zhou An said nothing, put away the relics, and then asked: "Senior, what do you call me?"

 With a master from the Holy Realm, he is still a monster from the older generation. Of course Zhou An has to ask clearly about his purpose.

"My name is Xu Nian, and people in the world call me Ba Dao. Maybe you should have heard of me."

Xu Nian pointed to the food on the table and said with a smile: "Let's talk while eating. I haven't cooked for a long time, so after seeing it, I made some food."

 In this world, everyone has unique hobbies, especially those in the industry, and their hobbies are infinitely magnified.

 For example, learning from Xi Yuan's fishing.

 For Xu Nian, in his early years, he had no family and no sect, so he relied solely on his own sword.

 Normally, besides knives, his hobby is cooking.

If he hadn't been more talented with knives, he would probably have become a cook. Unfortunately, he didn't become a cook and killed a lot of people.

 When Zhou An heard the word "Ba Dao", he already knew the identity of the other party.

 He has read a lot of information now, so he naturally understands it.

“Senior Ba Dao is here, but what does Eunuch Wei want to tell me about?” Zhou An asked.

 About the matter between Xu Nian and Eunuch Wei, there were loud rumors in the world, and Zhou An certainly knew about it.

He had a happy-go-lucky temperament. He took the black jade with him casually, sat down in his seat, and really started to eat.

“Senior Xu's craftsmanship is really good.” Zhou An even praised it.

Xu Nian narrowed his eyes and said, "You boy, you are indeed an out-of-the-box person as Old Thief Wei said."

"Ordinary geniuses, after meeting me, are all respectful as if they were worshiping gods, but you treat me like an ordinary old man."

"good."

 The meaning of this statement is that Xu Nian did not blame Zhou An for his attitude. On the contrary, he praised it somewhat.

Zhou An waved his hand and said with a smile: "Senior Xu, I am used to seeing those submissive geniuses, so it would be nice to have a different taste."

 “Yes, yes, that's true.”

 Xu Nian also smiled and changed the subject: "Let me see your sword skills. I have heard of your knife and pot skills for a long time. With the knife in front, it should naturally be stronger."

 As an older generation in the Holy Realm who uses swords, Xu Nian can be said to be the leader in this aspect.

It happened that Zhou An could also use a knife, so Xu Nian came up with the idea of ​​giving pointers. After all, what he loved to do most was give pointers to the juniors.

Zhou An ate his food again, and without any fuss, he used the gold ring to imitate a long knife.

Although Zhou An wanted to say that he seemed to be more aggressive with his pot, it was not the right time to say so.

 As I said, it's just a loss of face for others. People still need to have some emotional intelligence.

Xu Nian frowned when he saw this: "Metal is indeed a good thing, but people who use swords should not overly pursue the value of the sword."

As soon as he saw this gold, Xu Nian had some ideas.

 He often told his juniors that a sword is a weapon, but what is really important is the person who uses it.

 So the sword is the auxiliary, and the talent is the master.

Xu Nian shook his head a little.

 He felt that Zhou An, like those juniors, had fallen into this misunderstanding and regarded the knife as more important.

　　"I have to give you some advice, don't let this kid go into the wrong direction, and I can help old thief Wei."

 Xu Nian thought to himself.

 Zhou An didn't refute anything, but just swung his sword a few times at will.

The way he wields the long sword is based on the move of Pao Ding's sword.

 Although there was no sword light, in the eyes of a master like Xu Nian, there was no need for those things at all.

 With the sword, he understood it without saying anything.

“What a strange sword technique. This sword technique actually targets the various vulnerabilities of the human body.”

Xu Nian was slightly surprised and said: "With one slash of the sword, it can cut a person into pieces without using Qi. If Qi is used, it will be even more powerful."

In one sentence, he pointed out the essence of Pao Ding's skill with the sword.

 What is understanding people?

 Literal meaning, everyone who understands understands it.

 Xu Nian has seen many sword skills in his life and has killed many people who use swords.

 Some sword techniques are powerful, some are sinister, and some are calm.

 But this was the first time I saw this kind of sword technique, so I was a little surprised.

 To learn this sword technique, you must first have an extremely detailed understanding of the structure of the human body.

“Senior is indeed very discerning. Once this knife comes out, there will be no whole corpse. My aunt was cut into fifty-six parts by me back then. I still miss her so much.”

Zhou An smiled and put away the long knife.

When Xu Nian heard this, he became a little interested: "If you can divide it into fifty-six parts, you can not only swing one sword, but also several swords. Your aunt is probably also a master of the psychic realm."

Zhou An wanted to say what kind of psychic realm he was, but he felt that it would not be a good idea to say it now.

"This is the first time I've seen your sword skills. To be honest, you have your own sword skills. I don't want to say more, and there's nothing else I can say."

Xu Nian thought deeply: "But you have to remember that if you want to improve your sword skills, you need to use the sword as a supplement."

 When he teaches others, he first sees their flaws and then teaches them.

 But Zhou An's current situation does not require any guidance, because this sword technique is considered a new method developed by Zhou An.

 He would not interfere, but he still said a few words about using a knife.

 A knife as a supplement?

Of course Zhou An could understand it. The meaning was that he was putting the cart before the horse by using this Taoist sword made of gold.

 In fact, if you are really obsessed with swordsmanship, maybe these few suggestions are indeed correct.

 But Zhou An is different.

 It doesn't matter to him, he only needs liver proficiency and does not need to understand any sword skills.

Of course, Zhou An quickly said yes and said he understood.

After saying that, he took several more bites of food before returning to the topic.

“Senior, you must have something important to do when you come here this time, right?” Zhou An asked.

Xu Nian nodded: "Escorting the magic medicine is just a promise to Old Thief Wei. The other thing is to come and see you."

 At this point, Xu Nian paused slightly and continued.

“You should know something about the psychic space, the secret about the White King.”

 Zhou An heard this and said that he knew for sure.

  King Bai, who is now the younger brother of the emperor of the Man Kingdom, once died in the psychic space.

 It can be regarded as an early death, otherwise with this status, he should be a big boss level figure now.

Back then, before King Bai died, he once said that the place of death, an ancient city in the psychic space, held huge secrets.

That ancient city has been turned into a strange place, but it is difficult to find.

 The reason is that the psychic space is so huge that even if it contains all the psychic realms in the world, it is vast.

 Because of this, it is extremely difficult to find the secret that King Bai said.

The barbarian country is despised by other countries. If you want to gather your own people in the psychic space and find the secret, you need to have a suitable cover.

Hence, those people who are doing banditry in the psychic space were started by the barbarians.

They disguised themselves as bandits, and it is said that many of them have gathered inside the psychic space, using this name to explore the secrets of the White King.

Of course, if this matter was not known to other countries, it would have been done by him.

 It is a pity that other countries know about it and will take advantage of it.

You, the barbarian country, help me explore the secrets. Once you have discovered it, it is no longer your country's discovery.

 “Is it related to the White King in the psychic space?” Zhou An asked.

Xu Nian nodded and said: "It is indeed related. According to what Eunuch Wei said, King Bai seems to have appeared. Of course, it has become strange and was discovered by a master in the psychic realm."

 The White King appears?

Zhou An was slightly startled.

 He knew that King Bai died in the psychic space, and the ancient city became strange, so he allowed King Bai to die.

 Actually, if you think about it carefully, it is quite normal. They are all dead, and they are still dying in the ancient city. It is normal for them to become weird.

“So, if we find King Bai, we might be able to discover the ancient city and find out the secrets related to the ancient city?” Zhou An asked, touching his chin.

 Xu Nian nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

Zhou An's mouth twitched and he said, “But I'm only in the innate realm and can't enter the psychic space.”

 Actually, he could go in, but subconsciously, he wanted to shirk the matter. After all, he was really not interested in it.

  If it is related to liver proficiency, that is what he is most interested in, and it has nothing to do with proficiency, so there is no need.

Unexpectedly, after saying this, Xu Nian seemed to have known that Zhou An would say this, and shook his head.

"Eunuch Wei already knew that you would answer this way, so he asked me to come here to tell you something."

Xu Nian said slowly: "The people from the barbarian country are preparing to deal with you. It is said that they are going through the psychic space. As for the specific reason, we don't know yet."

 Barbarian people, deal with me?

Zhou An touched his chin and said: "It's reasonable. I killed their people before, and these guys also pay attention to revenge."

 As for a barbarian country, if it were not necessary to retaliate against others, it would probably not be a barbarian country.

“Eunuch Wei speculates that it is related to King Bai's secret?” Zhou An asked.

"Now, it seems that this is the only way to deal with it according to the barbarian country." Xu Nian said.

Since the Manguo side has decided to deal with Zhou An through the psychic space, and King Bai has appeared, there is a high possibility that there is a connection between the two.

"I understand. If I enter the psychic space, I will go and have a look." Zhou An nodded.

Xu Nian glanced at Zhou An and said, "You look very perfunctory."

Zhou An shook his head and said: "This is just one clue now. If there are more clues, it won't be too late for me to go."

 He didn't mean to be perfunctory.

As he said, there are almost no clues now, just a white king. How can that be regarded as a clue?

Hunting and arithmetic can't be counted either.

 Otherwise, with Zhou An's temper, he would have gone to the psychic space with a knife to look for them, and when he found them, he would have turned them all into ashes.

 After all, killing them all is Zhou An's style.

He has better proficiency in Anxin Gan right now, and will wait until there are clues, and then he will do it all at once.

Xu Nian heard this and understood that there was nothing wrong with what Zhou An said, it was indeed the case.

"Okay, I won't have to worry too much about you young people's affairs. Anyway, if Eunuch Wei asked me to take him, I have already brought him."

 “I will leave tomorrow.”

Zhou An smiled and said, "Senior, don't you stay a few more days?"

Xu Nian shook his head: "You kid, maybe you want me to leave early."

"I still want to go back to the palace. After all, I still have to continue what I promised Old Thief Wei."

Zhou An then nodded and said: "Then I will clean up the room where senior lives."

 He got up and prepared to go to the guest room to tidy up.

Who would have known that Xu Nian refused before he even took two steps.

“As an old guy, I won't bother you anymore. I have a few old friends here in Huaixijing, so I'm going to visit them.”

Xu Nian stood up and disappeared into the room without lingering.

 As masters in the Holy Realm, they naturally have to be very strict. For example, right now, they don't even go through the main entrance.

Zhou An looked at the empty room and the pile of food on the table, and shook his head helplessly.

 After putting away the meal, he did not think about the psychic space. Instead, he went to the pool in the backyard of the house and jumped directly into it.

He has to go out of his way to make trouble. He is getting closer and closer to the psychic realm. Once he reaches the psychic realm, with his current bonus, he will be invincible.

 The night was very dark, and there was a surge in the pool in Zhou An's yard. At this time, Zhou An seemed to be integrated with the water.

 Psychic space. In a huge, dilapidated ancient city.

At this time, hundreds of masters in the psychic realm are gathering here.

Although this ancient city is dilapidated, it has not become a strange sign, so these masters can stay here safely.

 The leader is a voluptuous woman wearing a red dress.

 The woman has a feminine appearance and an explosive figure. She is the type who cannot see her toes when she lowers her head.

Especially the charm that radiates from the inside out, coupled with her appearance, will make many men unable to take their eyes away.

The charming woman in red moved her steps slightly, her chest rising and falling, causing many people in the industry present to swallow their saliva.

But they did not dare to look more, they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

 Generally, for masters in the psychic realm, men don't care much about appearance, but women are different.

 There are some ways for women to maintain their youthful appearance and figure without feeling old.

For example, the woman in red looks very young, but she has reached the psychic realm, so her real age must be quite a lot.

“Have you found the whereabouts of the prince?” the woman in red asked.

A middle-aged man quickly replied: "Commander, the person in the business who saw the prince didn't seem to know which direction the prince went from."

They are, on the surface, members of the bandit trade in the psychic space.

 But in fact, they are all from the barbarian country. In this way, this group of teams was entangled.

 The woman in red, named Lei Xue, is their leader here.

Lei Xue is also very famous in the world of martial arts, and is also a top expert in the psychic realm.

  She is a martial artist, good at double swords, named Yanhong Double Swords.

It is said that when the two swords are used, bright red Qi will emerge.

Anyone in the industry who is covered by this kind of Qi will have their blood boil and eventually rush out of the body and die.

 The combat power cannot be underestimated, otherwise Lei Xue would not be the leader here.

Lei Xue frowned when he heard the report from his subordinates: "Keep looking. Haven't you recruited a lot of people? Let the news out and let them look for it together."

 “Yes!” the middle-aged man replied quickly.

Leixue just waved her hand, as if she didn't want to say another word.

 The middle-aged man looked at each other and left quietly.

After they left, the place was empty, with only Lei Xue left.

Lei Xue suddenly knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, faced the void in front of him, and said respectfully: "I have seen the prince."

In front of Lei Xue, the void twisted for a while, and a young and handsome man appeared next to Lei Xue.

 “Get up.” King Bai said calmly, as if he hadn't seen him.

Lei Xue then stood up, but still lowered his head and said nothing.

“The Zhou An you are talking about is really that important?” King Bai asked with a frown.

Lei Xue nodded and said: "It is indeed important, Your Majesty, please give me your research results. Zhou An must die, otherwise the Great Chu Kingdom will inevitably rise."

The White King fell into deep thought.

Lei Xue continued: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has said that he will not delay you or even put you in any danger of being exposed."

“The Man Kingdom has done a lot for the prince, and the prince has stayed in the psychic realm all his life for the sake of the Man Kingdom. Both parties complement each other.”

“Since Zhou An is dead, the prince's research will be safer.”

Hearing this, King Bai finally broke the silence: "This research is incomplete after all. You can't be sure, in case I am exposed."

“No, whoever implements this plan will not let him come back alive, not even the national advisor of the Chu Kingdom can count on him.”

Lei Xu continued: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the future of the barbarian country."

King Bai pondered for a long time and said slowly: "In three days, when you come here, remember, you are the only one."

 After saying this, King Bai disappeared.

The entire psychic space became empty again, even lonely.

Lei Xue then stood up and took a deep breath, feeling like he was finally relaxed.

“Countries have spies for each other. You know our affairs, so why don't we know your plans?”

The red clothes on Lei Xue's body were like blood: "Unfortunately, you will never know that the original White King is not actually dead."

"And Zhou An, the future pillar of your great Chu country, I am afraid that it will be destroyed soon."

Thinking of this, Lei Xue's figure flashed and disappeared into this psychic space.

 Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, three days passed like this.

 At this time, still in this psychic space, Lei Xue has appeared.

Still dressed in red, he stood respectfully and said nothing.

 After about a stick of incense, King Bai, dressed like an ordinary person, appeared from the void.

 In King Bai's hand, he held a wooden box, about the size of a fist.

"Take the things away, and from now on, don't come to me again. I have nothing to do with the barbarian country."

King Bai handed the wooden box to Lei Xue and said, "My brother who is the emperor doesn't need to threaten me anymore, because the psychic space is too big. Even if someone knows that I am not dead, they can't find me."

 “You must be clear, it was me who found you, not you who found me.”

Lei Xue fell into silence.

 But she did not hesitate. She took the wooden box into her hands and looked at it carefully for a moment, but did not open it.

“My lord, you are from the barbarian country after all.” Lei Xue said in a low tone.

"No, it used to be." King Bai glanced at Lei Xue and said slowly: "Now, I am just a person who explores the truth, and I have nothing to do with your barbarian country."

Lei Xue sighed: "I will tell your Majesty about this."

 “It's up to you.” King Bai didn't seem to care. His figure flashed and disappeared into this space again.

Lei Xue looked at the disappearing figure of King Bai, clenched the wooden box in his hand, and then circulated the Qi in his body.

 After her Qi started to circulate, a bunch of masters in the psychic realm appeared beside her.

"Let those people go to the ancient city I mentioned, pass the news, and then... let them die."

Lei Xue's tone was cold.

 A subordinate was stunned, and his tone became urgent: "Sir, they are also from the barbaric country, this..."

 “Someone has to die.”

There was a look of indifference in Lei Xue's eyes, and he said slowly: "Only if they make things bigger in the psychic space, will I have the opportunity to kill Zhou An and get rid of this person who may become a formidable enemy in the future."

 “Their deaths are worth it, don't tell them, this will make it more real.”

When the subordinate heard this, he put away his surprised expression and nodded.

The superiors had given orders, but he didn't dare to say more.

At this time, Lei Xue's figure gradually blurred and disappeared into the psychic space.

 The subordinates did not hesitate and left quickly, setting up the arrangement according to Lei Xue's method.

 Leaving the psychic space, Lei Xue appeared in a remote village in Huaixijing. The red clothes on her body had turned into ordinary clothes.

 She was still holding the wooden box in her hand, as if she had some treasure.

This village, even in a prosperous place like Huaixi Capital, is in a remote and small location, which is perfect for Lei Xue to hide.

It is said that the Barbarians paid a high price to send her in. Many spies were discovered by the Chu Kingdom and executed secretly.

Lei Xue looked in the direction of Huai Xijing and thought silently: "This time, Zhou An will probably die."

 In this world, unlike those scripts, there is no equal opponent.

To put it bluntly, those forces want to get rid of Zhou An as soon as possible, and they wish that Zhou An would die immediately.

 After all, in their opinion, Zhou An's future must be at the top, and he is an extremely dangerous opponent.

 Zong Xing, Ye Dao Sect, Wild Buddha Sect, and Barbarian States, if they were not trapped by other situations, would like to directly dispatch the top masters.

For example, Zongxing, if possible, even the leader of Zongxing would personally get rid of Zhou An.

 So, this time the Barbarians spent a lot of money.

Only a few people know that King Bai is not dead. He has discovered important secrets in the ancient city and is gradually researching them.

 The wooden box in his hand is a research object and a useful thing for Zhou An.

“I need to wait for a few days until there is some noise in the psychic space, then it's time for me to take action.”

 Lei Xue thought in his mind.

 In the small mountain village, the faces of the people were dull, and red Qi was flashing between their eyebrows.

 In the psychic space, clouds are moving in all directions.

Zhou An didn't know, because he was now addicted to proficiency and couldn't extricate himself.

Especially the skill of making waves, it's really fun to play.

 It's not the pleasure of increasing proficiency, but the pleasure of increasing intimacy with the water flow.

Every time he improves his proficiency, he becomes more and more familiar with the water flow. Only Zhou An can feel the refreshing feeling without any sense of isolation.

Like a shot to the end without any lag.

So Zhou An has been really staying at home these past few days. Even if he wants to eat, he always takes the shortest way with Black Jade.

 Nowadays, proficiency has been rising rapidly and has been greatly improved.

Of course, he is still a little far away from making waves at the seventh level. It can only be said that the distance is not much.

 As for the stored proficiency, it is almost full and Zhou An will be able to use it soon.

 “Let's go and eat!”

Zhou An called Shang Heiyu, speaking concisely and to the point, and planned to go back to liver proficiency after finishing the meal.

"oh."

Black Jade agreed and followed Zhou An silently.

 After the two went out to have a meal, they were ready to go home.

 But on the way home, Zhou An met Zong Shanyin, who looked very anxious.

 “What's wrong?” Zhou An asked.

Zong Shanyin replied: "Sir, something happened in the psychic space. It is said that... King Bai's ancient city has appeared."

 “The ancient city of King Bai appeared?”

 Zhou An frowned.

 To be honest, he has been so obsessed with it recently that he has put this matter behind him.

“Tell me more about it, and what do you think.” Zhou An said.

Since everyone has come to find him, there must be a reason. Zhou An waited for Zong Shanyin to continue.

Zong Shanyin just started to talk...

 “This is what happened…”

Following Zong Shanyin's narration, Zhou An gradually understood the ins and outs of the matter.

 According to Zong Shanyin, King Bai's ancient city has been discovered in the psychic space.

 A large number of people have already passed by, ready to see the secret of King Bai, and among these people, there are naturally people from the barbarian country.

The Great Chu Kingdom and other countries also took notice of the news, and were preparing to send people to the psychic space to intercept Hu.

The same is true in Huaixi Capital. To suppress the secret agents, half of the masters of the psychic realm need to be dispatched to go to the psychic space in person.

Zhou An touched his chin with his hand, thinking secretly about what Zong Shanyin said.

 After a moment, he did not answer, but circulated the Qi in his body.

 At the beginning, there were no clues, so Zhou An could not be counted.

Now that he had a clue, Zhou An simply tried using Bagua arithmetic to see if he could figure out something.

In front of my eyes, golden Bagua appeared, spinning continuously in mid-air.

 After a while, Zhou An shook his head.

 I didn't calculate it, perhaps because there were too few clues and the other party hid it too deeply.

“Since it's the General Secretary's wish, you can just follow this method.” Zhou An said.

 The meaning of the general secretary is to go in half, but the person in charge of each city needs to be outside and guard with the remaining half.

As for how to lead the half of the people who have entered, they naturally have a way.

  In other words, Zhou An should stay outside and be responsible for maintaining the safety here.

"yes."

Zong Shanyin replied: "I came here to inform Lord Zhou of this matter. In this case, I left."

Since it is Si Jing and this matter is a big deal, it is natural that Zhou An should know about it.

Zhou An nodded and asked Zong Shanyin to leave, but still gave a few instructions to the members of the Suppression Division who entered the psychic space to pay attention to their safety.

Zong Shanyin also agreed and left quickly.

 The matter was very important and he did not stay long.

After Zong Shanyin left, Zhou An thought for a moment and felt that in this situation, he seemed to be unable to be a shopkeeper.

Since he was staying outside, he decided to go and sit down with Guisi. At worst, he would dig a pond.

“That's fine too. If you go to suppress the enemies, you can react quickly. If you dig a pool, you can improve your proficiency.”

Thinking of this, Zhou An did not choose to go home, but planned to go to suppress Guisi.

 But before he could take two steps, he suddenly reacted and slapped his head.

“I almost forgot, why didn't I calculate the good or bad luck?” Zhou An thought.

Since the calculation has come to this point, even if the specific situation cannot be calculated, it is still possible to calculate the good or bad luck.

 Thinking about this, Zhou An continued to use the Bagua arithmetic and began to calculate the impact of this incident on himself.

 The next moment, the golden color in front of me disappeared and was replaced by another color.

 “It's so black... it's shiny!” (End of this chapter)

Chapter end
