Lu An unknowingly slept until dark on the chair. He got up in a daze and found that the moon was already hanging high. The originally noisy Jiangcheng had no sound at this moment, although the city was still brightly lit.

Lu An wiped his eyes, got up and walked into the house, and found that he knew that he was drinking alone, three plates of side dishes, a few steamed buns, and a pot of wine. The configuration was still the same as before, but he was drinking alone.

I understood that when I saw Lu An walked in, I said with a smile: "Do you sleep comfortably? I feel reluctant to ask you to get up for dinner when you sleep like this."

Lu An thought for a while, and he had condensed pure gold day and night in that cave, and he never stopped sleeping. He seemed to have not heard the word supper for a long time. He smiled and said, "I have been hungry for a long time, and I got up after smelling the fragrance of the wine."

I understood and smiled slightly, "Why don't you come here quickly, I'm worried that I'm bored drinking alone."

Lu An smirked, sat down and hadn't touched the wine for a month. He quickly poured himself a glass and drank it all, "It's great."

The wine is the most common pot of pear blossoms that cost 5 cents a pot. It is sweet and easy to eat, but the taste is a bit light. However, in Jiangcheng, Lu An has been drinking it for a whole year, and before he knew it, he fell in love with it.

The dishes are also the most suitable dish for serving, with meat and vegetables, a plate of peanuts for the soul, a plate of cucumber with flavor, and a plate of the most delicious salted beef, and of course the most important thing is two white flour steamed buns.

Lu An couldn't help but smiled foolishly at the familiar home-cooked meal.

"Why are you laughing at? I've been foolish in eating dry food this month?" asked in confusion.

Lu An chuckled again, "That's not, I ate the same thing every day, and I have been eating for a month. Who can bear it? This month will be miserable."

I understood and was amused by Lu An, "I think if all the dry food is replaced with steamed buns, you will eat it with relish. I don't know what happened to you, big fish and big meat, but I just like to eat steamed buns? I have eaten steamed buns with you for a year, and even I started to like eating this thing. It's so strange."

"Please use high-quality white flour, add yeast, knead the dough, ferment, and then continue to knead until the dough is elastic and strong. Finally, put cold water in the pot to steam it. The steamed buns made in this way will not be worn out." Lu An said.

"It's so simple? Then when will you make it for me to try it?" asked Mingdi.

"Is it because I think the steamed buns at Aunt Li's house are not delicious or the wine at Uncle Wang's house is not delicious. I have to make steamed buns to eat." Lu An rolled his eyes.

He smiled and poured a glass of wine for Lu An, and also a glass for himself, then raised his glass and said to Lu An, "Come on, let's go."

Lu An also raised his glass with a smile, touched the two cups gently, and drank them all in one go.

After this cup, Mingbai's face turned red without realizing it, and even burped, and his whole body began to wander. Lu An looked surprised. It was the first time he saw Mingbai getting drunk after seeing him for such a long time.

"Master, how much have you drunk today? Can you even be drunk as a master?" Lu An asked.

I understood and shook my head, and said slowly: "Not much, no more, I'm happy today. I haven't been drunk for many years. I almost forgot how I feel after I get drunk. I want to get drunk once today, hahaha."

Lu An felt a little strange and couldn't figure it out. This reason was a bit stiff.

After getting drunk, I realized that I was not crazy or nagging, so I just sat there quietly, poured wine and drank, and picked up a piece of beef and a grain of peanut from time to time.

Lu An quietly looked at the drunkard who was drinking swayingly, and drank a glass from time to time.

Unexpectedly, after getting drunk, I realized that I actually started writing poems with the intention of drinking, "Wine and meat pass through my intestines, don't talk about sorrow when you get drunk, I smile and ask where I am now, it's hard to say that I will die. Okay, okay, I, an old man, finally got educated once this time." Then, I realized that I fell on the table and started to shout.

Lu An squirted once or twice, chuckled, and then muttered in a low voice, "Is his level similar to Hu Yong?"

………

The next day, Lu An opened his eyes as soon as dawn, got up, washed up, went out, and bought breakfast as usual.

I came back with a steamed bun, and was about to ask Mingdi to get up and have breakfast, but I found that he had disappeared and didn't know where to go early in the morning.

I was thinking about where this person went when I went so early? I found that I came back from outside the door and even had a jade bottle in my hand.

When they understood and signaled Lu An to have breakfast first. Lu An nodded, and the two of them started to chew the steamed buns speechlessly.

After breakfast, I understood and hooked my fingers, "Come with me."

Lu An nodded and followed Mingbi silently.

The two left the blacksmith shop and walked along the road towards the center of the craftsman city.

After walking for a while, looking at the route, Lu An frowned and asked, "Where are you going? Going forward, you are going to the city lord's mansion?"

I understood and didn't look back and said, "Yes, I'm going to that place."

Lu An suddenly became surprised. He had never realized that he had something to do with the City Lord's Mansion for a year in Jiangcheng. He used to go to the auction house at most, but today he chose the place he was the City Lord's Mansion? Is this a bit of a big face? Or is his master's face so great?

As expected, Lu An understood, and then he spoke again: "Your master, I have such a great face. I helped you choose the safest place in Jiangcheng City and the safest place in the city lord's mansion. So this time you can rest assured, and the best environment for your master will definitely provide you with no one to disturb you."

Lu An nodded, then followed him obediently and moved forward all the way.

The two of them came directly to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Lu An stopped and looked up. It was the first time he had arrived in Jiangcheng for a whole year. He had only heard of the city lord's mansion in the past. He had seen it today. The gate of Guangguang is almost as high as the gate of Saibei City. Two black dragons and phoenixes were carved on the two pillars in front of the city gate. The color scheme of the entire mansion is mainly dark, which is simple, making people feel a magnificent momentum, even death.

I understood and patted Lu An in a daze, and Lu An immediately came to his senses, "What's wrong? Are you afraid of the first time I'm here?"

Lu An shook his head and replied, "I have never seen such a special one before."

I understood and strode forward, walked in, and the guards on both sides of the door seemed to have not seen it. Lu An thought to himself, "It seems that he is an old acquaintance."

Lu An followed him to the hall and came directly to the hall. There was no one else in the hall, only a middle-aged man sat upright in the middle of the hall, drinking a pot of tea.

Lu An asked softly: "City Lord?"

He shook his head and said in a low voice: "This man is Bai Yu, he is the housekeeper, military advisor and accountant here, but he is sick every day. Stay away from him, worrying that he will spread it to you."

When Lu An heard this, he looked at him in confusion and understood, but he didn't understand this sentence very well.

When Bai Yu saw the two of them whispering, he knew that the one who understood and was talking badly about him, and directly cursed: "Old man, if you dare to say something more, I will tear down your broken blacksmith shop."

After hearing this, he immediately smiled and said to Bai Yu: "Bai Yu, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

When Lu An saw the first time that he realized that it was such a cramped expression and a humble tone, someone could control it?

"Old man, a dead duck is just a stubborn person. He doesn't know how to keep a good teacher in front of your apprentice and do some deteriorating things all day long, which is embarrassing." Bai Yu cursed directly, "Lu An, come close and let me see."

When Lu An heard Bai Yu shouting his name directly, he glanced at him and nodded clearly.

Lu An walked straight to Bai Yu, saluted slightly, and shouted, "Responsible for Bai."

When Bai Yu heard this, he frowned, "I'm not sure. By seniority, you can call me Master in the future. Is there any problem? Old man."

I understood and shook my head quickly, "No problem, no problem, whatever you say is what you say."

Lu An still couldn't understand what the relationship between these two people was? But he still listened to Bai Yu and called him Master.

Bai Yu laughed when he heard this, "Okay, Lu An, Master, have prepared a meeting gift for you today. I hope you won't use it today." After that, he took something from his arms and handed it to Lu An.

Lu An respectfully took it down. It was a stone, a red stone, which was very warm and comfortable to touch with his hands.

I understood that I saw this stone on the side, and widened my eyes and said, "You can't regret what I gave."

Bai Yu frowned again when he heard this, "It seems that you really don't want your shop?"

I understood and quickly urged Lu An to put away the stone, as if he was afraid that Bai Yu would regret it.

Although Lu An didn't know what this stone was, from his clear reaction, this stone should be a very precious treasure.

He then asked, "Master, what kind of stone is this? It's very precious?"

Lu An just finished asking, and then he rushed to say, "It's not just precious, it's simply a treasure. This is Vermilion stone. According to legend, it was the war of the five divine beasts ten thousand years ago. Then his true blood dripped on a stone. For ten thousand years, there is only one piece of it that exists."

Bai Yu nodded, "That's right, it's vermilion stone, the only piece left in the world, is also considered a treasure in Jiangcheng."

When Lu An heard this explanation, he found that this thing was indeed a treasure, but what is the use of this thing?

"The function of this thing is, first, carried with you, without any poison, and without fear of Yin evil. Second, if you practice the fire attributes, you will get twice the result." Bai Yu explained. "But these two functions seem to have nothing to do with me, right?" Lu An was puzzled.

"The last function is to bring about a resurrection. This stone is equivalent to having more life." said Mingming.

"Really or false? One more life?" Lu An asked.

Bai Yu nodded, "It's said that this is true, but it's too long and I've never seen anyone use it before. I don't know whether it's true or not. But his other two functions can already make most people crazy. No one dares to try that function easily in the end, what if it fails."

Lu An suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. Is this too unreliable?

Bai Yu stood up, "Since you have met and you have given a gift for the meeting, then let's go."

"Go? Where to go?" Lu An asked.

"The Spiritual Realm, a special place, the most secret place in the craftsman city, and the most important place. Your good master insists on asking you to go to that place." Bai Yu said.

"Spiritual Realm?" Lu An had never heard of it.

"The Spiritual Realm is one of the seven major realms in the world. No one knows how this place was formed, nor does anyone know why this place was formed. The seven major realms in the world account for three of them, namely the Spiritual Realm, the Sword Realm, and the Blood Realm. Each realm is a broken world, but the advantage is that you can more easily understand the great way, even the heavenly way in the spiritual realm, so you can easily feel the five elements in the spiritual realm, which is beneficial to the skills you practice." Bai Yu said.

"Is it just to increase my chances? Is there any danger?" Lu An asked.

He nodded clearly, "In places like the spiritual realm, the possibility increases by 20% is increased, so it is worth taking risks. The danger is whether you can refine and absorb this golden essence within seven days."

"This kind of place is not just about to enter. Just opening this entrance requires a lot of resources. With the ability of Jiangcheng, you can only enter one or two people at most every time you open it, and it will be up to seven days. If it exceeds seven days, the entrance will be closed, and you may not be able to come back in your entire life." Bai Yu said again.

"Is it okay to open it next time?" Lu An asked.

"Every time you open it, the places you enter are random, that is, you may stay there for the rest of your life when the door is closed, and how long can you live after the entrance is closed?" Bai Yu said.

In this way, the three of them came to the ground under the question and answer method. There was an open hall with a stone gate as high as ten meters high standing there quietly, with all kinds of messy patterns on the stone gate.

Bai Yu pointed to the door, looked at it clearly, Lu An and asked, "Are you ready?"

Lu An turned his head and looked at him, "Master, I'll go in by myself."

"You will die if you go in alone." said clearly.

"If two people go in, they will die." Bai Yu replied.

Lu An nodded, "I will definitely be able to come out within seven days, right?"

Bai Yu nodded, "Keep your word."

"Master, it's useless if you go. There's no danger anyway. If you go, you're just stupid enough to see me. You'd better wait for me outside to save you from being by my side and cause me to be distracted." Lu An said to Mingdi.
