It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

"I will give Mr. Zhou an explanation." Xu Fuling took a deep breath.

Zhou An looked at Xu Fuling's increasingly gloomy expression, his expression very happy, as if he had picked up money for no reason.

In fact, he didn't want to cause trouble. When he came here, he just wanted to keep his liver proficiency low-key and develop silently.

But the problem is, he doesn't cause trouble, but others do.

Now, this guy named Yin Cheng is just messing with his face.

If he ignores this situation, the consequences will be even worse.

This is the case in today's era. If you act weak and can be bullied, more people will bully you.

Only when you act strong will you make the other party relent.

When he came, he thought Xu Fu Ling was a relatively upright person like other Fu Ling he had met.

But this kind of thing like people, in itself, all kinds of rice can feed all kinds of people.

From the current point of view, Xu Fuling doesn't seem to like him very much, and Xu Fuling should know about this.

In this case, Zhou An would be even more rude.

He is not afraid of this guy. Everyone works in Tingyun Mansion, but they belong to different positions.

A craftsman serving as a supervisor is not under the control of the Tingyun Mansion.

After Xu Fuling said this to Zhou An, he finally couldn't help it anymore and said, "Master Zhou, this matter was due to Yin Cheng's momentary negligence, which resulted in such a result. I will punish him. This Don’t worry about it.”

Zhou An shook his head: "The punishment I want is not simple. To put it more seriously, this matter is just delaying His Majesty's important event."

Yin Cheng immediately became anxious and said loudly: "I just made a mistake in my arrangement. Why did it become such a big thing when it came to your mouth? You clearly want to take this opportunity to suppress me."

When these words were spoken, Yin Cheng immediately shut his mouth, knowing that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

This kind of thing can really matter sometimes, especially in his case.

According to Zhou An's statement, it actually works.

Xu Fuling cursed the idiot in his heart.

He originally wanted to follow Zhou An's wishes and punish Yin Cheng a little, as long as everyone agreed.

But he never thought that Yin Cheng would say such words, which was completely provocative.

This matter is probably very difficult to handle!

Sure enough, after Yin Cheng finished speaking, Zhou An showed a joking look on his face and said in a teasing tone: "You finally admitted it, and I'm too lazy to go to the Supervision Department again. What you just said, I can understand." Do you despise His Majesty the capital?"

After the words fell, Yin Cheng's face turned green and purple, frightened by Zhou An's words.

Zhou An ignored him and looked at Xu Fuling aside: "Whatever you want is up to you, but I want to see how you handle it."

Xu Fuling sighed, knowing that there was no room for recovery, so he could only say: "I will handle it impartially and give Lord Zhou a perfect explanation when the time comes. This matter is because I did not restrain my subordinates enough. Please forgive me, Lord Zhou." .”

He relented.

There was no way, even if he disliked Zhou An from the bottom of his heart, from the current point of view, Zhou An was completely responsible for this matter.

So even if he doesn't want to give in, it won't work.

"Then I'll be waiting for Mr. Xu's good news." Zhou An cupped his hands and suddenly changed the topic, "Did Zhou offend Mr. Xu at some point?"

Xu Fuling shook his head and said he was not offended.

Zhou An continued: "Then why does Mr. Xu dislike Zhou?"

Some things are better on the surface than anything else. Zhou An doesn't like to play with those fancy things.

If you ask clearly now, you can also understand what happened.

Unexpectedly, Xu Fuling still shook his head, as if he didn't want to say anything.

Seeing this scene, Zhou An knew that he could not continue.

He didn't say anything more, turned around and left directly.

As for why Xu Fuling was unhappy with him, Zhou An didn't have the time or leisure to find out.

He has a lot to do, and the skill of waterbending is also waiting for him.

"Farewell."

Zhou An's figure walked further and further away, and soon disappeared into the corner of the room.

After Zhou An walked away, Yin Cheng danced and shouted: "Master Xu, I do all this for you, you can't ignore me."

Unexpectedly, after he finished saying this, Xu Fuling's expression became even more gloomy, and he said in an extremely cold tone: "I just asked you to make a little trip for him and let him come here and live." It’s not very peaceful, but you have caused such a big thing, how do you want me to help you?”

"I'm telling you, prepare to accept the punishment. The most I can do is save your life, which is pretty good."

Yin Cheng's face turned pale. He wanted to say something more, but when the words came to his lips, nothing came out.

There is nothing to say about this thing, and even Xu Fuling will be offended if he continues to talk about it.

Xu Fuling did not take care of this person anymore, but looked at the direction Zhou An was leaving and snorted coldly: "You'd better not violate the laws of Dachu Kingdom, otherwise I will punish him severely."

In the entire courtyard, the only sound left was Xu Fuling's words.

Zhou An left the government office and walked towards the craftsman supervisor.

If he goes back now, he can also have a meal.

It's already mostly dark, and Zhou An is not wordy. He never treats himself badly when it comes to eating.

Besides, there are a lot of banknotes.

When I read novels in the past, some of the protagonists still lived the ordinary life after gaining great wealth.

Zhou Anke couldn't stand it.

No one in this world wants to live a good life. If you have the conditions, you will naturally use them?

Ever since, Zhou An went to a restaurant to have a good meal, and then walked out of the restaurant in a swaggering manner.

He originally wanted to leave, but after taking a few steps, he saw a commotion on the street.

The sound was messy and came from afar.

Following the sound, I saw that at the end of the street, there were people on three levels inside and three outside.

Zhou Anluo walked over with curiosity. When he saw the people surrounding him, his expression became extremely strange.

It was still broad daylight at this time, but in the middle of the crowd, there was a person with water stains all over his body.

The clothes got wet, and the water dripped down the clothes onto the ground, making the ground wet.

Beside him, there were many people supporting him and walking to one side.

The people surrounding these people gave way one after another.

Soon, the man covered in water was helped and disappeared at the end of the street.

Zhou An was confused and didn't understand what happened.

At this time, he heard the comments of the people and understood instantly.

"Oh, it's another flood, it's another flood. It's really difficult for our Tingyun Mansion."

"Who says it's not the case? Everyone says that Tingyun Mansion is prosperous, but who would have known that we have troubles that we can't tell us about."

"There's nothing we can do about it. We're backed by a big river. Floods happen every once in a while. Even after the dam has been built for so long, there's still nothing we can do about it."

"Well, I went to the temple to burn incense a few days ago, and the temple was flooded once. It was really difficult."

Listening to the various complaints from the people, Zhou An thought that this seemed to be related to the flood.

But he didn't ask any more questions, and looked at the direction the man covered in water was walking, which should be the direction of the government office. It seemed that he was going to find Xu Fuling.

This was something that was not within the scope of his authority and he couldn't solve it. He didn't stay longer and continued to rush towards the direction of the craftsman supervisor.

It didn't take long to reach the destination.

At this time, Hu Haijin and others were busy reading various files.

With the arrival of a new superior, they naturally had to do their best to show off the various mineral data of Tingyun Mansion.

If Mr. Zhou is in a bad mood one day and asks something, but they don’t know anything, it will be really embarrassing at that time.

After all, Mr. Zhou also said that he can raise people who fish, but not those who cook.

So everyone is very diligent at this time.

After hearing the footsteps, Hu Haijin and others raised their heads, just in time to see Zhou An walking in, and quickly said hello.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou An nodded, found a chair next to him and sat down. The old god said: "Yin Cheng's matter has been resolved. He paid the corresponding price, and this matter is over."

As soon as this sentence comes out, it can be said that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

Hu Haijin and others were shocked.

They knew that Zhou An had solved this trouble by going out this time.

But I don’t know how to solve it.

I was full of curiosity, but I didn't dare to ask.

Of course Zhou An didn't say these things explicitly, it would be meaningless if he did.

He just told them that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily.

Hu Haijin and others were considered old-timers. They knew that Zhou An was unwilling to talk, so they didn't dare to ask more questions.

No matter how curious I was, I suppressed my curiosity.

"By the way, let me ask you, why does Xu Fuling not seem to like me very much?" Zhou An asked.

He hasn't figured this out yet. He obviously didn't offend this guy, but this guy just couldn't stand him.

Hu Haijin was silent for a moment, and finally answered honestly: "My lord, I don't know, but Master Xu comes from a famous family. Although this so-called famous family has been half-declined, he still comes from a scholarly family."

He didn't dare not say it, he knew that this adult looked very peaceful, but was actually very controlling.

If a situation arises that cannot be controlled, this adult is very decisive.

So when facing such a superior, it is better to answer honestly.

Zhou An touched his chin: "A scholarly family background, does this have anything to do with him not liking me?"

Hu Haijin quickly replied: "It's not that he can't stand the adults. In fact, how should I put it? He has the pedantry and arrogance unique to scholars. He can't stand the grassroots."

At this point, everything becomes clear.

Zhou An soon understood the truth of the matter.

There are some scholars who come from a good family background. Maybe they have a traditional scholarly family background, which can be traced back to their ancestors.

But most people born into such a scholarly family are arrogant and conceited.

Of course, you can't kill someone with a stick. There are a few cases where they are very approachable.

What people like Xu Fuling can't stand the most is a reckless person like Zhou An.

This kind of disapproval is not a deliberate attempt to make things difficult, but an arrogant temperament.

Let me be clear, I am not upset because of you, but because of your background.

"Okay, I understand." Zhou An nodded.

Hu Haijin said hesitantly: "Sir, how do you want to deal with Xu Fuling?"

Zhou An looked at him strangely: "Why should I deal with him? This man has nothing to do with me. As long as I don't break the law, he can't do anything to me. Besides, he is not a person to me." thing."

I am very busy now and have no time to bother with this guy. I must seize the time to upgrade waterbending to level five first.

And also need to upgrade other skills.

Yin Cheng kicked his nose and slapped his face several times.

Xu Fuling was an obviously pedantic scholar, so he didn't bother to deal with it.

He's not even an enemy, so why bother with him?

Isn't this just trying to hold on after being full and looking for trouble for yourself?

Of course, if Xu Fu Ling goes further, Zhou Anke will not let him go.

When Hu Haijin heard this, he did not dare to say anything more. He could only nodded and continued to read the files carefully.

When Zhou An came over, it actually meant this.

After the matter was finished, he raised his feet and was about to leave, but he thought of the person he met in the street, told him the situation just now, and asked the doubts in his heart.

Hu Haijin smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know something. Our Tingyun Mansion is backed by a big river. Due to the terrain and the season, floods will occur from time to time. To be honest, the most unlucky ones are the villages close to the river."

"The flood will not put their lives in danger, but the impact is not small. Tingyun Mansion is indeed very prosperous, but this is the most uncomfortable thing."

These answers are similar to Zhou An's guess.

There are advantages and disadvantages. In fact, it depends on how Tingyun Mansion responds to this matter.

From what Hu Haijin said just now, even if the dam is built, it will be difficult to stop it. It is estimated that the terrain and season are really strange.

Of course, that's all he asked without thinking more about it.

There was nothing wrong now, so he walked towards his house.

It was still the same. After returning, Zhou An directly started to control water, simulating the five-meter-long dragon.

Time passed like this gradually for many days.

…

Zhou An kept simulating.

During this period, as he thought, Xu Fuling did not come to oppose him again.

This thing is actually like this.

He doesn't like himself, and he doesn't like him either. It's okay for the two of them to stay away from each other forever. Anyway, they are minding their own business. As long as you don't mess with me, I won't mess with you.

However, after this period of time, Zhou An was really crazy about the skill of Gan Shui.

After such a long time, the waterbending skill finally arrived as expected and reached level five.

Looking at the smoke in front of him, Zhou An waited patiently.

After a while, the smoke formed a special line of text. After the text appeared, it quickly became clear.

[Waterbending lv.5 (water +4, control +4): 1/80000]

"Finally another one completed."

Zhou An was overjoyed and waited patiently.

The smoke quickly disappeared and turned into a large amount of information, flooding into his mind.

Zhou An closed his eyes and absorbed all the information before opening his eyes.

The Qi in the body has shrunk again. At this moment, the ball of Qi is not just Qi, but part of it has condensed into something like water.

Zhou An knew that this thing was evolving towards Qi Dan. Once it evolved into Qi Dan, he would be able to step into the first-class level.

Of course, I have to continue to compress it at this time. It is estimated that it will be difficult for my Qi Dan to form for a while.

He is not in a hurry, as long as his proficiency continues to increase, he will be able to achieve what he wants.

Now, waterbending has reached level five. Not only has his attributes doubled, his water nature and control abilities have become even stronger.

Zhou An raised his hand. This time, he did not stir up the water in the swimming pool, but started to stimulate it out of thin air.

Soon, a five-meter-long water dragon appeared above his palm.

This water dragon looks extremely delicate, even its scales are lifelike.

"I can now condense it out of thin air. This is a qualitative change." Zhou An's face was full of joy.

Looking at the faucet in mid-air, he pulled out the cold iron sword and waved the sword light into the air.

In addition to the white snow, the sword light was also covered with a layer of water.

The high-speed rotation of the water flow increases its power. This time, the light of my sword has been qualitatively improved.

He estimated that this knife could split the original Mi Mo in half without stopping.

"I'm reminded of my comedian aunt again."

Zhou An sighed, thinking of his aunt who was divided into fifty-six parts.

If he had been as good as he was now, he wouldn't have let his aunt die so miserably.

But my aunt is indeed a comedian, and at this moment, she can still think of it.

Zhou An shook his head, looked at his latest attributes, and fell into deep thought.

[Pao Ding’s solution to the problem lv.5 (speed +4, accuracy +4): 1/80000]

[Bianwu lv.4 (Strength +2, Destruction +2): 1/60000]

[Wandering Dragon Step lv.4 (Speed ​​+2, Dodge +2): 1/60000]

[Fusion casting method lv. 5 (hardness +4, fusion +4): 1/80000]

[Read Hundred Volumes lv.4 (Spirit +2, Understanding +2): 1/60000]

[Waterbending lv.5 (Water +4, Water Control +4): 1/80000]

That's all the skills he has in front of him.

Now only Dianwu, Youlongbu and Yuebaijuan are at level four, while the others have all reached level five.

Especially for water control, it is a latecomer.

Now he is thinking about how to improve, or which one to improve.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou An finally looked at You Longbu.

This skill is actually very powerful.

Not only can it improve body skills, but it can also improve the ability to dodge and move around, but it's just not that good in my own hands.

To be precise, it's not that it's not very good, but that no one can force themselves to use Wandering Dragon Step very frequently.

Although the people you meet are very strong, it may be difficult for them to deal with the proud ones, but when you stand in front of them like a cheater, they can't stand it.

So on the surface, Youlongbu's presence is not strong, but it cannot be absent.

Once there is a critical moment, it will be embarrassing if you can't get it out at that time.

This is Zhou An's current thinking. If he wants to improve, he should improve comprehensively and build himself into a polygonal warrior.

"Then how can I improve?"

Zhou An touched his chin and thought carefully.

In fact, for him, this thing was initially improved by using the earth bag formation.

But after reaching the fourth level, the earth bag formation seems to have no effect.

Zhou An thought for a while, lowered his head and looked at his legs.

The Wandering Dragon Step must have something to do with the legs. He just stared at it for a long time before he caught a glimmer of inspiration in his mind.

"When I was running in the past, many people liked to run with weights. Do I have to use some weights?"

He remembered an anime he had seen before, in which there was a master of physical arts with a watermelon haircut.

This watermelon head is carrying weights all over his body. The moment he takes off the weights, his strength soars.

Since it is a body training method, weight-bearing exercises seem to be one of them.

Thinking of this, Zhou An went out directly.

He is an impatient and a liver emperor. He has both liver and liver. In addition, he has an impatient temper, so he must get it done immediately.

As for what to do, the natural solution is to go to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

On the way, Zhou An inquired about the location of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce and went directly to his destination. Soon he arrived at the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce in Tingyun Mansion.

Needless to say, it is indeed a wealthy chamber of commerce.

Zhou An looked at the luxurious gate in front and the businessmen coming and going, and felt that there must be a lot of money in it.

This thing just has the word "rich" stuck on the door.

Of course, if someone can't think about it and wants to come to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce to grab a meal, it will probably be quite uncomfortable.

After all, the wealthy Hengtong Chamber of Commerce will not skimp on security.

Zhou An's arrival naturally attracted the attention of several businessmen.

Nowadays, Zhou An's portrait is as circulated as money in the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

All he had to do was offer Zhou An on the table and put on the incense sticks.

Businessmen all have shrewd minds. They know that everyone in their chamber of commerce must know Zhou An.

Otherwise, if we meet someone on the road one day and accidentally offend him, then the plot will be really bloody.

So when Zhou An arrived, several businessmen immediately greeted him with smiles.

"I've met Mr. Zhou, but I don't know why Mr. Zhou is here."

Zhou An expressed his intention to come and said he wanted to meet Zhou Qingyun.

The businessman was very clever and quickly took Zhou An to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

At this time, Zhou An discovered that there was a different world inside.

It's luxurious enough on the outside, but it's even more luxurious on the inside.

There are all kinds of furnishings and buildings, it’s really first-rate.

When the businessman brought Zhou An to one of the exquisite rooms, he said that he could no longer go in.

Zhou An nodded, thanked the businessman in his flattered eyes, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Not long after, Zhou Qingyun's tired voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Zhou An pushed the door open and saw Zhou Qingyun sitting on a chair with a file in his hand. His face was extremely tired and there were thick dark circles under his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Zhou An frowned.

Zhou Qingyun also heard the sound of the door opening, and immediately stood up when he saw it was Zhou An.

But when he just stood up, his body shook violently several times, as if he would fall down at any time.

Zhou An took two steps forward, supported Zhou Qingyun's body, and asked: "Brother, your body is quite weak. Have you been busy visiting Goulan places recently?"

He was just trying to liven up the atmosphere. Both of them had the last name Zhou, so they were from the same family, so it didn't matter if they were called "brother".

When Zhou Qingyun heard this, he shook his head and showed a wry smile: "You are just kidding, sir. If it were normal times, I would really go shopping, but I have been too busy recently."

Zhou An Wenyan asked curiously: "Brother, why are you so busy?"

To be honest, if there was nothing major, such a person in charge of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce would never be so busy.

Zhou Qingyun didn't hide it. He regarded Zhou An as one of his own and began to pour out his bitterness: "What else can be done? Floods have been frequent recently. The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce has to rescue those victims and repair their houses. Recently, all kinds of money have been allocated , already extremely tired.”

Zhou An heard this and praised: "I didn't expect that this brother is also a charitable person."

He had also heard about the flood, but he did not expect that the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce would actually be trying to rectify the disaster.

Zhou Qingyun sighed: "We, the founder of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, relied on the support of the people in the beginning. Your Majesty values ​​the people, and the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce also values ​​the people. Although we are businessmen and can pursue profits, we must not be ungrateful."

"Therefore, the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce has set a rule. Once the people need it, they must solve the problem for the people at any cost."

Even when Zhou An heard this purpose, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

If it is true as Zhou Qingyun said, there is indeed a reason why the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce can survive for so many years.

The people are the foundation, Zhou An also thinks so. If the people are not taken into consideration, then a place, no matter how prosperous it is, will only be temporary.

"Your Majesty, didn't you send someone to solve it?" Zhou An asked.

This kind of thing can be big or small, but after all, it happened in the territory of the Chu Kingdom. With the temperament of His Majesty, it shouldn't be like this.

"Your Majesty arranged for people to solve it, but there is no way." Zhou Qingyun said with a bitter smile: "That place involves many terrain issues and seasonal issues. It will be like this every time."

Zhou An touched his chin, feeling that things here were complicated.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Mr. Zhou, what's the important thing for coming here this time?"

Zhou Qingyun still didn't forget the business and asked.

Zhou An stated his thoughts again and added: "I'm not in a hurry. Brother, please do your own thing first. Your side is the top priority."

Speaking of this, although Zhou An doesn't think he is a gentleman, he is not a villain either.

This kind of thing, he felt, was still a serious matter.

As for proficiency, I'm worried about it, but if you encounter this kind of thing, it won't be a problem if you take it a little later.

Sometimes, Zhou An thinks not to take interests too seriously.

"Thank you Mr. Zhou for your consideration, but helping Mr. Zhou resolve these matters is just a small matter."

Zhou Qingyun told Zhou An that it would be done for him in the afternoon.

Zhou An didn't refuse anymore, nodded, told Zhou Qingyun to pay attention to his body, and left directly.

When he got home, he waited patiently for a while.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a large number of workers to enter the house and start to arrange the soil bag array for him.

With these people helping to decorate, it didn't take long before it was already decorated in a house.

Some workers also handed over a costume.

Not just clothes, but pants and shoes.

Inside the clothes are iron blocks made of pure iron, as are the insides of the pants.

The shoes and leg guards are entirely made of iron, including the position of the hand guards, which are also made of pure iron and are extremely exquisite in workmanship.

Zhou An is an expert in casting Tao, and he can see the reason at a glance.

The workers didn't say much and left quickly, leaving Zhou An alone in the room.

He looked at the heavy-duty equipment, thought about it for a moment, and then put it all on.

The next moment, he felt that his body was a lot heavier.

Zhou An took out the pan from the pink purse, and used the pan made of cold iron to fan wildly at these earthbags.

A sudden strong wind blew up and the earth bag array swayed from side to side. Zhou An used the Qi in his body and stepped directly into it.

Although the earth bag formation swayed from side to side, it could not touch Zhou An's body at all.

Whenever this dirt bag was about to approach, Zhou An easily dodged it.

After about a stick of incense, Zhou An withdrew, frowning tightly.

"Why hasn't the proficiency level increased?"

Zhou An thought deeply.

I've been in there for a while, but my proficiency shows no sign of improvement.

He suspected that there must be something wrong here.

"My method should be correct."

Zhou An circulated the Qi in his body again and walked two steps according to the Youlongbu method.

At this moment, he suddenly froze, then slapped his thigh, showing a startled expression.

"God damn right, my method was wrong!"

His approach was indeed wrong, not only wrong, but terribly wrong.

There is no problem with bearing weight, but after bearing the weight, the Qi in the body is circulated, and the weight is instantly reduced.

To be honest, after circulating the Qi in his body, Zhou An felt that unless he resisted extremely heavy objects, it would not be affected.

"In other words, if I don't use Qi, I might still be able to do it."

The characteristic of Youlongbu is to allow Qi to form a thin film made of Qi on the surface.

No one can see this thing, but once an attack approaches the body, it can sense it through Qi and then react.

Zhou An looked at the weight on his body and the formation of earthbags in front of him, and already had a countermeasure in his mind.

He can circulate the Qi in his body, but it only forms a thin film on the outside.

In this way, the weight-bearing effect is achieved.

And it can also bring out the characteristics of Youlongbu.

After figuring out the key, Zhou An continued to try.

He picked up the iron pot and fanned out a strong wind again.

Then, according to his original idea, he walked into the soil bag formation.

At this time, a heavy feeling came out.

Zhou An could clearly feel that the weight on his body was affecting Youlong Bu's movement and movement.

The next moment, a text appeared in front of his eyes.

[Wandering Dragon Step +1]

When the text appeared, Zhou An showed joy on his face: "My method is right!"

Before his eyes, the Tubao Formation became more valuable.

He knew that this thing was the key to improving Youlongbu to level five.

"Next, it's time for me to show off my abilities as the Gan Emperor."

While Zhou An was performing the Wandering Dragon Step, he was constantly swimming around like a wandering dragon, while enjoying the rapid growth of his proficiency.

…

On Zhou An's side, he was practicing proficiency. On the other side, Xu Fuling looked at the various files piled up in front of him and felt as if his head was as big as an ox.

There were many elderly people standing next to them. These were the village chiefs of various villages.

The village chiefs' faces looked like bitter gourds, and they were about to burst into tears.

"Mr. Xu, the floods this time are more serious than before. Our villages are suffering too much now."
