After breakfast, the two old men went back quietly and disappeared in an instant.

Xue Nian also skillfully started the tables and chairs, and cleaned up all the things on them.

When Lu An walked back into this blacksmith shop that he had been away from for a long time.

Seeing the familiar visit inside, Lu An was relieved.

"Master, I have never moved these things. I have never moved anything except the hygiene and cleaned every day. I have always been like this!" Xue Nian said as if he was seeking credit.

Lu An also smiled, with his expression particularly gratified, "Thank you for your hard work to keep you here for so long!"

Xue Nian shook her head, "It's not hard at all. She just smiles here every day. She practices boxing and sword every day, and then she just sleeps. It's not hard at all. She basically didn't encounter anything."

Lu An nodded and said, "Okay! Since that's the case, I'll check your strength!"

Xue Nian nodded immediately, then directly set up his posture and hit a complete set of ten-style punches. However, Xue Nian can only hit the fifth punch, which has reached a limit.

However, compared to Xue Nian's direct strength, it is already very good to reach this level now! It has made a lot of progress.

"It seems that you have really not slacked off during this period and have been working hard all the time, very good!"

Lu An still smiled satisfied with Xue Nian's strength. He was about the fourth-rank martial artist, but Xue Nian was still young and young, so everything was still possible.

Although it seems a bit far behind him at that time, people have situations, and everyone's path is different. No one can tell what level Xue Nian will reach in the future. Maybe Xue Nian will achieve in the future. Naturally, he can guarantee that Xue Nian can choose what he wants to do.

Xue Nian was gasping for breath and a faint smile appeared on his face. He was still very excited. It was enough for him to get Lu An's praise.

Lu An looked at Xue Nian and asked lightly: "Do you have any ideas about the future? Do you plan to stay here or do what you want to do?"

"Master, can I follow you?" Xue Nian blurted out without thinking.

Lu An smiled silently, "Follow me? I should have been in Jiangcheng recently. So you think so?"

Xue Nian nodded, "As long as the master goes, I will go wherever I go. I don't care anyway!"

"Yes, there is no need to follow me for the time being, but what about it after that? Do you have any ideas?" Lu An asked lightly.

When Xue Nian heard this, she was stunned and thought about it. Finally, she scratched her head and didn't know that she should answer this question.

"Master, can I not answer this question for now? I don't seem to have a place I want to go in particular." Xue Nian replied with a silly smile.

Seeing the expression of this silly boy, Lu An couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Okay, since you don't really want to do something, then don't worry. I'll ask you when you have any ideas in the future!"

Xue Nian nodded directly, and smiled happily again.

Lu An couldn't help laughing, and then saw the slightly damaged recliner beside him. Lu An smiled and lay down directly on.

Like the old man once, he squinted his eyes and hummed a small song on his mouth.

Seeing Lu An so leisurely, Xue Nian was also particularly satisfied. He turned on the furnace and burned the fire and cleaned it up.

When Lu An lay down, he slept until noon.

Xue Nian's tinging iron sound made Lu An look sideways. Looking at Xue Nian's extremely unfamiliar actions, Lu An couldn't help but smile.

Then he remembered something and took out the last fire spirit source from his arms. Originally, he planned to leave this thing for Li Qing or Su Mu, but thinking that these two people had a fire spirit like him, they naturally couldn't use this thing, so he thought it would be more appropriate to give this thing to Xue Nian!

As for whether Xue Nian will go on fire in the future, he naturally no longer considers the scope. He only hopes that his apprentice can have more self-protection after absorbing this thing!

"Xue Nian, come here!" Lu An directly ordered Xue Nian.

Xue Nian wiped his hands and walked over quickly, and then saw what was in Lu An's hand. His expression was shocked, warm and extremely comfortable.

"It will be good for you to refine and absorb this thing!" Lu An said lightly.

Xue Nian was stunned and took it carefully from Lu An. The warmth was extremely comfortable, which made him tremble involuntarily.

When he saw Xue Nian leaving and preparing to absorb it, Lu An suddenly thought of a possibility and called him directly.

Xue Nian turned to look at Lu An and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with the master?"

Lu An smiled slightly, "Now there are two choices in front of you. I wonder if you would like it or not?"

Xue Nian frowned and asked curiously: "What choice?"

"One is to directly absorb this thing, so that you can increase your physique and even make people immune to things. However, this thing cannot make you have a qualitative leap, but it can also make you improve now." Lu An explained lightly.

Xue Nian listened very seriously and nodded immediately.

Lu An then said, "You have to think about the next choice. Let me talk about the consequences first. You may die. If you fail, you may have no cultivation, and you cannot even be a martial artist. You can only become an ordinary person. This is the consequence. Of course, even if you succeed, there will still be some problems in the future, that is, the confusion that your strength cannot be improved. Just like me in the past, others' strength has improved, but I cannot make progress just by thinking about it."

When Xue Nian heard the words like Lu An, she was immediately excited. Without thinking, she said extremely excitedly: "I choose the second one!"

Lu An was stunned. Before he could finish his words, Xue Nian started to express his opinion in a hurry.

"Wait until I finish my words! You will make a decision later!" Lu An said with a faint smile.

Xue Nian nodded quickly and nodded.

"The name of our sect is Sun and Moon Sect, and naturally it is also called Mingzong! You should already know this?"

Xue Nian nodded, "I understand this, this is the base of our sect."

"Although it sounds a little chilling, this is indeed the resident of our sect. Now the only people in the sect are left are you and me. So for the sake of the sect's inheritance, I will give you this choice. This is the mystery of our sect's non-transmission. If you are willing to practice it, it is considered a kind of inheritance. However, this kind of inheritance still has risks. You may not have the opportunity to grow like this in the future! Are you still willing to practice in this way?" Lu An asked lightly.

Xue Nian nodded and said without thinking, "I definitely do it!"

"Okay! Since you really want to, I will first pass on you a set of condensation methods. This is the secret of our master's sect that is not passed on. It is a secret technique of our sect! However, I have refined this fire spirit source, and you only need to absorb it immediately! But before this, you need to understand what the real Five Elements Technique is! That is, the martial arts I practice now are also the confidence that our sect can stand still to this day." Lu An said casually, and then looked at Xue Nian.

Xue Nian's eyes became brighter and brighter. This inherited words gave him a rather wonderful feeling, and the expression on his face became more and more joyful. It has been seven or eight years since he first met Lu An, right? With such a long persistence, he finally got what he wanted, which gave him a slightly illusory feeling, just as if the words Lu An said were fake, which made him particularly unreal.

As if Lu An understood what he had said, he said the history of the Sun and Moon Sect in a word.

These words immediately made Xue Nian imprint in his mind.

After explaining everything, Lu An directly let Xue Nian enter the refining process.

In the next few days, Lu An stood here directly and did not leave a single step.

The things he had agreed to with Tang Geng were delayed because now he had something more important to do.

Although Tang Geng was a little unhappy, he also showed a very agreeable expression after hearing this. No matter when and where, inheritance has always been the most important thing. Now that Lu An has such a reason, he naturally feels a little happy for Lu An.

Xinhuo Jiang Xu, Sun Zhu Chang Sun Yun and Li Qing also stayed in this small blacksmith shop, which can be regarded as being stationed here with Lu An.

These days have been extremely peaceful. Lu An had heard that Jiangcheng was very uneasy before, but it seemed a bit abnormal these days. Even Tang Geng thought so. The calm here was a bit incredible, as if all of those people had become obedient.

As for Bai Yu's request, Lu An also did as it should. He had already asked Xiaoyao Pavilion to send a message, intending to let Su Mu come from Daqin to come here, and at the same time, he also asked Zhao Le to come here. He planned to build the largest Ning'an Pavilion in Jiangcheng.

Tang Geng felt a little surprised and puzzled by Lu An’s thoughts. He didn’t understand why Lu An did this, because he felt that Jiangcheng is much lonely now than before. It is really a bit puzzling to make this plan here, and it can even feel that it is a bit waste of energy!

Today, Jiangcheng can no longer support this title.

However, looking at Lu An's expression, he seemed to have a little insistent intention to do this, and he had a plan to do it to the end.

"Lu An, are you really planning to do this? Is the center of gravity of the place in Saibei planning to move?" Jiang Xu also didn't understand Lu An's approach.

Lu An nodded with great affirmation, "Although Jiangcheng has become weaker now, it does not mean that it is useless. Now you have seen that there are even more people in Jiangcheng than before. The strength in the city alone can be said to be extremely strong, far beyond the previous one. This is both a trouble and an opportunity for Jiangcheng. The master is thinking this way. He doesn't want to make a big move, so he naturally has this idea. It is not difficult to wipe out all these people, but what after the extermination? Jiangcheng is really getting weaker and weaker. This is his way, so I will naturally follow his thoughts and do this better and better!"

Tang Geng, who was standing beside him, immediately showed a sneering expression when he heard this, "I'll just say this to you! To be honest, he didn't think so because of Jiangcheng's reason for doing this now. Maybe it was just because of this person.

There are too many. If you take action all at once, it may just cause chaos in Jiangcheng. In addition, some people may be a little difficult to deal with with with Jiangcheng's current strength!"

After saying this, Lu An smiled directly, and then smiled disapprovingly, "You are certainly right to say this. You are the acting city lord of Jiangcheng now, why do you run to me every day? Are you really so idle? When Wu Jie was the city lord, he would never show up all day long. Now you are really idle?"

Tang Geng snorted coldly without thinking, "I'm just an agent, not a real city lord, so there are so many things to die, but I'm not so stupid as to be done by myself, wouldn't I be exhausted if I do this? In fact, the person who shouldn't stay here the most should be Li Qing. She is much busier than me, and she has to learn to deal with many things. Now, I'm fine, just go here to chat with you without doing anything! Jiangcheng is in danger!"

After hearing this, Li Qing laughed, "City Lord Tang, I'm not happy about this! It's obvious that you assigned the responsibilities of the lord to me. These are all things you have to do, I'm just helping you! I don't want to help you today, you can handle this matter yourself!"

Tang Geng was immediately furious and pointed at Li Qing in great disappointment and said, "You are the future lord of Jiangcheng City. Why are you so unmotivated? You are so lazy. If Bai Yu finds out, he will not punish you to copy books..."

This complaint made Li Qing cover his mouth and laugh secretly. Lu An also smiled like this, with an expression that was particularly relaxed.

"You don't have to accompany me here. If you have something to do, just stay here. It's useless to stay here. You guys can't help anyway. This matter depends on Xue Nian himself. If he can do it, then that's fine. If he can't, then you will need to take care of it in the future!" Lu An said lightly.

Jiang Xu got up as soon as he heard this, "Oh, you said so, then I'll have to take a good stroll here. Jiangcheng is a good place, but I haven't visited it when I came last time!"

Seeing Jiang Xu get up, Sun Zhu naturally followed, "Junior brother, wait for me, I will follow you to have a good stroll!"

As soon as the two left, there were only four people left. Xin Huo naturally would not choose to leave. He came here to follow Lu An, but this person had a relatively low presence, so he naturally had no idea. He kept hiding in the corner and quietly looked at everyone.

The remaining Changsun Yun also had no idea of ​​moving, and just sat aside in a daze, without any intention of talking.

Tang Geng looked at the suddenly awkward atmosphere and felt helpless. He couldn't stay any longer. He said directly: "When is it good? Remind me as soon as possible. In fact, there is only someone here to guard it. You don't need to stay here all the time!"

As he said that, he suddenly threw a pair of Liangyi stones to Lu An.

Lu An caught the Liangyi Stone in confusion, his expression was stunned, and he looked at Tang Geng in confusion.

Tang Geng winked at Lu An, looked around at both sides, and pointed to the two silent women.

This glance immediately made Lu An understand something, and a hint of gratitude was revealed in his eyes.

Lu An turned his head and looked at Xin Huo in the corner, "You stay here! If something happens, remember to tell me." After that, he threw a Liangyi stone over.

Xin Huo reached out and took the thing, nodded silently, without saying a word.

Tang Geng shrugged helplessly, "I found that all your friends seem to be normal people! They are either taciturn or excited, and they all feel heartless!" But he said this very quietly, and after doing it, he hugged Lu An's shoulders directly. Before Lu An could react, he dragged Lu An out directly.

After coming out, Lu An looked at Tang Geng with some confusion, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"

"Want? I'm convinced of you too. You can stay in that kind of tense atmosphere? Didn't you see that the atmosphere of the two women is a little wrong?" Tang Geng said incredible.

Lu An shook his head. He really had no feeling about this. He felt it was normal and didn't seem to feel anything was wrong.
