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

Big shot?

After hearing this, Zhou An touched his chin.

He thought about whether there was any other important figure in Tingyun Mansion that Zhou Qingyun could welcome here.

Now the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, where Zhou Qingyun belongs, has established a foothold in Tingyun Mansion.

The big shots in Tingyun Mansion are just those few, and they have a good relationship with Zhou An.

Zhou Qingyun shouldn't be welcomed in such a grand occasion.

"It should be from outside." Zhou An thought to himself.

However, these things had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to understand them, so he expressed his thoughts.

Zhou Qingyun was slightly startled: "Master Zhou, what you mean is that you need some skills from people in the industry, and you don't care whether they are good or bad, as long as they are good?"

Zhou An nodded: "Yes, you can do whatever you want. I don't care if it's good or bad."

Kung Fu and techniques are two different schools. Zhou An's requirements are generally in Kung Fu style.

And if this skill flow is a good skill, it will naturally be in the hands of major forces.

But those general skills are actually spread.

Exercises like these can be obtained with money.

Hengtong Chamber of Commerce lacks everything except money.

Hengtong Chamber of Commerce would naturally agree to all Zhou An's requests, so Zhou Qingyun agreed without hesitation.

"Master Zhou, I will deliver the things to you tomorrow. Don't worry, I will handle it well."

Seeing that Zhou Qingyun agreed, Zhou An didn't waste any words and turned around to leave.

He still had to go back and think about how he could develop new reconnaissance skills.

After leaving the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Anshun had a meal in a shop outside, chatted with the diners around him for a while, and then slowly walked towards his home.

Of course nothing happened on the way back.

Zhou An originally thought that he would be able to think about it after returning home, but he did not expect that he would encounter trouble on a street not far from his home.

This street is not close to a bustling and lively area, so it is a bit deserted, but there are still many people setting up stalls and selling things here.

After all, it is a prefecture-level area. No matter how desolate it is, it is still better than a county-level area.

When Zhou An was going home along this street, he saw a carriage driving slowly down the street.

The horse pulling the carriage looks quite impressive. Just from its shiny hair, you can tell that this horse is expensive.

The carriage is equally eye-catching.

The wood was made of the best wood, and the curtains of the carriage were of the finest silk.

The person driving the carriage was not an ordinary coachman, but a middle-aged man dressed as a Jianghu man.

This middle-aged man was carrying a long sword on his waist, without a scabbard, and its cold light shone.

Zhou An has been hanging out in Tingyun Mansion for so long, so he naturally knows a lot about Tingyun Mansion.

In a carriage like this, even the driver was a skilled martial artist. Zhou An guessed that the identity of the person sitting in the carriage was definitely unusual.

He thought of what happened to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce and thought it should be the person Zhou Qing received.

Of course, Zhou An didn't want to get involved in this matter. He just wanted to gain steady proficiency, so he stood by the street and waited for the carriage to pass by.

The carriage drove slowly by and soon went further and further away. Zhou An waited until the carriage left and then walked towards home.

…

He went home first, while on the other side, the carriage had already gone along the street and arrived at the entrance of Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, Zhou Qingyun was still waiting. When he saw the carriage arriving, he quickly waved enthusiastically.

The driver drove the horse and quickly arrived at the destination.

Then, the middle-aged coachman jumped off the carriage, took a wooden stool, and placed it under the carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a young man of about twenty-seven or eighty years old, dressed in silk and looking very noble, walked down from the carriage and along the wooden bench.

When the young man walked down, Zhou Qingyun immediately greeted him with a smile and a very enthusiastic tone.

"Hengtong Chamber of Commerce Zhou Qingyun, meet His Highness the Third Prince."

The young man turned his head and glanced at Zhou Qingyun lightly: "Just call me Third Young Master outside. This time I am not coming here in a big way, so it is not appropriate to reveal my identity."

Hearing this, Zhou Qingyun nodded sensibly: "Yes, Zhou Qingyun has met the Third Young Master."

Seeing how understanding Zhou Qingyun was, the third prince said with satisfaction: "I just stopped by to take a look."

Zhou Qingyun didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly welcomed the third prince in.

After entering, naturally there is a formal reception, food and drink.

At the banquet, Zhou Qingyun also kept talking and laughing, sitting beside him to accompany him.

In the Great Chu Kingdom, there were a total of three princes. Among them, the eldest prince fought on the frontier to prevent enemy invasion.

The second prince has been learning from the current Prime Minister and assisting him in his work.

As for the third prince, he is in charge of various chambers of commerce and various transactions in the Chu Kingdom.

The three princes each performed their duties, and no one competed for them.

After all, the current Emperor of Da Chu is in his prime.

The third prince can be said to be the manager of all chambers of commerce. Chambers of commerce who want to do business in the Chu Kingdom are under the jurisdiction of the third prince.

So this time when the third prince came over, Zhou Qingyun naturally didn't dare to neglect him.

At the banquet, the third prince put down his wine glass, glanced at Zhou Qingyun, and said something seemingly unintentionally.

"Your Chamber of Commerce did a good job in mining this time, and I heard that it made a lot of money."

When Zhou Qingyun heard this, how could he not know what it meant, and quickly said in a low-key manner: "Reporting to the Third Young Master, I have indeed made a lot of money. We also made it in a reasonable and legal way, and we paid enough taxes. "

He is just the manager of the Tingyun Mansion Chamber of Commerce, and now he is receiving the third prince. Naturally, he does not dare to say a word randomly and speaks every word very carefully.

After listening to Zhou Qingyun's answer, the third prince nodded: "Relax, I'm not here to settle a score with you. You guys have done a good job and haven't done anything bad, so don't worry about this." .”

Zhou Qingyun nodded, saying that he did not dare to think so.

The third prince then put down his wine glass, leaned on the chair, put his hands on the back of his head, and said lightly: "Where does Zhou An live?"

When these words came out, Zhou Qingyun was slightly startled, obviously not expecting why Zhou An was mentioned.

But he didn't dare not say it, so he explained: "Master Zhou has been living in the house I arranged for him. The location is relatively remote, but this is all requested by Master Zhou himself."

The third prince nodded: "Tell me the location. After dinner, rest for the night. I will go there tomorrow and ask some questions."

Zhou Qingyun hesitated slightly: "I wonder why the third prince went to Lord Zhou?"

When he heard what the third prince said, he thought it must be something important, so he subconsciously asked.

But after asking, Zhou Qingyun was sweating profusely and his face turned pale.

You shouldn't ask these things.

He felt the calm gaze of the third prince, and couldn't help but bend down: "The villain talks too much, please punish the third prince."

The third prince said coldly: "I already told you to call me Third Young Master."

"Yes, Third Young Master!" Zhou Qingyun quickly changed his words and told Zhou An's address.

The third prince hummed and drank the wine in his glass: "I'll go there tomorrow. You can take me there."

Zhou Qingyun didn't dare to say anything anymore and quickly agreed.

The third prince looked at the wine in the glass and fell into deep thought.

…

The next day.

Last night, Zhou An had no liver proficiency.

Now, he is waiting for Zhou Qingyun's book, and taking advantage of his free time, he is thinking about investigative skills.

After a night of hard thinking, Zhou An really figured it out.

In fact, the most important skill for detection is to have sharp ears and eyes.

As long as the eyes can see clearly and the ears can hear clearly, then all enemies will be invisible.

Zhou An felt that he should start from this aspect.

But the key point is that although he has figured out a specific direction, he still has no clue about the skills related to this direction.

"You can't just rely on your imagination. You should read more and ask more questions." After Zhou An simply washed up, he planned to put this matter aside for now.

After going out to eat later, go to Zhensi Si to see if Zhensi Si can give him a hint.

When the time comes, just give me a reason.

Zhou An made plans, went out for a meal, and then headed to Zhenguisi.

As for the fact that Zhou Qingyun said he wanted to send books, he would naturally go back if he didn't see him by then.

I went to Zhenguisi myself, so I just stopped by to pick it up.

The journey to Zhenguisi was uneventful.

Yan Sifu was still busy with the aftermath. When he saw Zhou An coming, he put things aside for the time being and listened to Zhou An's words.

"What, Brother Zhou wants to ask, how does our town spy detect the enemy?"

Yan Sifu was shocked when he heard Zhou An's statement.

"I thought you knew how to do it, Brother Zhou..."

The corners of Zhou An's mouth twitched slightly.

He knows a hammer.

If he had known how to do it, he would have caught the indulgent person and blasted him with a hammer.

"Master Yan, I wonder if you have any ideas in this regard?" Zhou An asked.

When Yan Sifu saw Zhou An say this, he also knew that Zhou An really didn't know. After thinking for a moment, he said: "We do have a unique investigation method in the town of Guisi, but this is a skill and it will never be passed on to others. of."

He was a little embarrassed.

If the reconnaissance method is spread to the outside world, the enemy will rely exclusively on this to counter reconnaissance, and it will be the Suppressing Spies who will suffer.

It's not that Yan Sifu doesn't trust Zhou An, it's just that this is a rigid rule that cannot be passed around randomly.

Otherwise, if the emperor knows what he has spread, even ten heads will not be enough.

Zhou An already understood after hearing this.

If this thing is a secret, you really can't tell yourself easily.

After all, you have to consider other people’s safety.

Zhou An feels that he can't embarrass others, right?

"In that case, I'll take my leave."

Zhou An was ready to go back without asking for the news he wanted.

However, Yan Sifu grabbed Zhou An and said, "Brother Zhou, don't you want to know what your Majesty did after learning about this matter?"

Zhou An thought for a while and asked, "How to deal with it?"

He was indeed curious.

This time, the emperor's final plan has not changed, and the Gu God Sect is indeed gone.

Just like Zhou An said at the beginning, the emperor does not care about the process, only the results. As long as the process is within an acceptable range, the results will not deviate.

Even if you Miao Xiao has great tricks, even if you deceive the emperor, it doesn't matter to the emperor.

The result will not be biased, the Gu God Society will be destroyed, and the emperor will get what he wants.

Of course, if you learn about the process later, it will be different.

Yan Sifu smiled mysteriously: "After His Majesty learned about it, Long Yan was furious. Of course, as Brother Zhou said at the time, the results were not biased, so His Majesty was not too angry, but Miao Jiang suffered."

"Oh?" Zhou An became interested: "What kind of disaster?"

"Sizhou, one of the ten prefecture-level towns, went to the Miao territory. The entire Miao territory was turned upside down, and a lot was discovered." Yan Sifu said cheerfully.

"Among them were perverts, spies from the enemy country, and all kinds of evil forces, who were uprooted."

Zhou An raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

To be honest, he really didn't expect this result.

Miao territory is located in a remote place, where even the hands of the Suppressors cannot reach so far.

But the emperor sent more than a dozen Sizhou to suppress the traitors.

"Isn't the rear area empty?" Zhou An asked.

More than a dozen state-level leaders are all going to the remote Miao border. Doesn't that mean that they have freed up their own rear areas?

If someone takes advantage of this opportunity, wouldn't it make the Suppressor a mess?

Yan Sifu shook his head: "Of course not. Your Majesty has chosen states that are close to the capital. When these states left, someone came out of the capital to suppress these states."

"One person can control more than ten states?" Zhou An said in surprise: "So powerful?"

To be honest, the state is much bigger than the prefecture. If it is one level higher, it will be much bigger.

But it's outrageous that one person can control more than ten states.

The most important thing is that there is only one person covering more than ten states. Is it possible that he can be separated?

Yan Sifu said with a smile: "The one who came out of the palace was Eunuch Wei. He was one of the ruthless men who established the Great Chu State at that time. After Eunuch Wei came out, with the help of the eunuchs in the world, the Yin Qi covered more than ten states. Who dares to Making trouble?"

Zhou An was stunned.

He was familiar with Eunuch Wei, they had chatted with him for a long time, and Eunuch Wei admired him quite a lot.

I didn’t expect Eunuch Wei to be so strong!

"etc!"

Zhou An thought of something and asked, "Since Eunuch Wei is so powerful, why has he been hiding in the palace?"

If you are already so powerful, why are you still in the palace? This is what Zhou An is confused about.

Yan Sifu shook his head and said: "This time, we are relying on the power of the eunuchs from the entire Chu Kingdom. It will not last long. Moreover, Eunuch Wei stayed in the palace to prevent some little people from the enemy country from causing trouble."

Hearing this, Zhou An understood.

Although it relied on the power of the eunuchs of the Great Chu Kingdom, it was still very powerful.

"By the way, Brother Zhou, there is one more thing about you." Yan Sifu said cheerfully.

Zhou An originally came here to have fun, but he didn't expect it to be related to him. He asked doubtfully: "Is it related to me? What is it?"

Yan Sifu said with a smile: "Isn't this matter reported to the police? Although I have ignored some details for you, I dare not ignore your contribution. Your Majesty is very happy, especially since you did a good job in Yunlai Mansion before. This time I sent someone to give you a reward."

reward?

Zhou An was happy when he heard this.

Is there such a good thing?

If you have a reward, don't give it up, and you deserve it.

"Okay, if nothing happens, I'll leave first."

Now that the matter has been settled, Zhou An turned around and left Zhenguisi without any ink.

…

After leaving Zhenguisi, Zhou An thought for a while and went to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

If Zhou Qingyun has finished it, he can take the book back on the way.

Unexpectedly, after Zhou An arrived, a businessman told him that Zhou Qingyun had already gone to his home.

Zhou An was helpless and could only rush home.

The journey from Hengtong Chamber of Commerce to home was uneventful.

When Zhou An came to the street where his home was located, he found that there were already people on the street.

At the intersection of the street, a middle-aged man with a sword on his waist was guarding.

Zhou An recognized this man as the driver who drove the carriage.

The middle-aged man also saw Zhou An and cast his vicissitudes of eyes over.

The two looked at each other.

Zhou An raised his eyebrows: "Master."

A person can be sensed from his aura.

There was a layer of murderous aura lingering faintly on this middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man spoke with a hoarse tone: "Master Zhou is not as strong as I am."

Zhou An heard this and said, "Do you know me?"

The middle-aged man nodded: "I am the third prince's coachman. The third prince is waiting for Mr. Zhou inside."

The third prince?

Zhou An frowned.

He didn't expect that the big shot Zhou Qingyun was talking about was the third prince.

If that's the case, he really deserves to be called a big shot.

Zhou An touched his chin and walked towards the alley.

Now that he's here, let's go take a look. He wants to know why the third prince came to see him.

As a prince, the emperor's son, it's definitely not easy to come here.

The middle-aged man turned slightly to make way.

Soon, Zhou An walked in.

Entering the street, Zhou An saw a bunch of people standing at the door.

Zhou Qingyun was stopping at Zhou An's door.

In addition, there were several guards dressed as ordinary people and an imposing young man.

As if hearing footsteps, the young man turned his head and saw Zhou An, with a smile on his face.

Zhou An walked over, cupped his hands and said, "I have met the third prince."

No need to guess, this is the third prince.

The third prince smiled and said, "Master Zhou made it easy for me to wait."

Next to him, Zhou Qingyun’s mouth twitched.

He was not allowed to call him Third Prince, but when he called Zhou An, you actually laughed.

Of course, he doesn't show it.

"Master Zhou, these are the books you asked for. I sent them over by the way."

As a businessman, he knew that bringing the third prince here would offend Zhou An, so he brought the book as well, as a way to reduce the offending.

Zhou An was not surprised.

This is normal and reasonable.

After all, his relationship with Zhou Qingyun originated from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

"I wonder what the purpose of His Highness the Third Prince's visit this time is?" Zhou An asked.

The third prince said: "Father said that Master Zhou made great contributions during the battle in Tingyun Mansion, so he asked me to come over and give him a reward."

"That's it." Zhou An understood.

Yan Sifu said that he would send rewards, but it turned out that the third prince came to give them.

Zhou An looked left and right, but didn't see where the reward was.

There is nothing here but a pile of books.

The third prince smiled and said: "Master Zhou, since it is a valuable reward, naturally it cannot be given openly."

Zhou An understood and opened the door: "Then come in and talk."

Zhou Qingyun was also very discerning, so he asked people to put the books in the room, and then left the room with them.

It was obvious that these two had something important to talk about.

They didn't dare listen at this time.

None of these two people, Zhou Qingyun, could be offended.

See less, listen less, and do more, so you can live longer.

When he went out, Zhou Qingyun closed the door.

Zhou An ran out for a cup of tea and poured it for the third prince: "There is no good tea in this humble house, just a little coarse tea."

The third prince didn't care, picked it up and took a sip: "It doesn't matter whether the tea is good or bad, it all depends on the person who makes the tea."

Zhou An smiled, sat back down, and asked, "Third Prince, I wonder what your Majesty's reward is?"

After coming in, Zhou An kept talking about rewards.

He is indeed not short of money, but if he has other things, he doesn't mind putting them away.

The third prince also knew what Zhou An was thinking and took out a money bag from his sleeve.

Zhou An has level five fusion casting skills, which can be seen at a glance.

This money bag, and my own pink money bag, should have come from the hands of one person, that is, the top craftsman supervisor in the capital, the uncle of Blacksmith Zhao, and the most powerful person in the original blacksmith branch of Da Chu.

As a prince, it is normal to have this thing. Zhou An knows that the reward is inside.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhou An thought this, the third prince reached into his money bag and took out a wooden box.

The wooden box was as big as a table and was placed on the ground by the third prince.

"Open it and take a look, Master Zhou." the third prince said.

Zhou An was not polite and opened the wooden box.

Soon, the contents of the wooden box were revealed.

In the wooden box, there was first a stack of banknotes. Zhou An roughly counted them. There were many, enough for a family to last a lifetime.

He put it away silently and continued to pull.

The second piece is a large piece of black ore.

"This is the cold iron crystal. I heard that Mr. Zhou has something made from cold iron ore. This cold iron crystal given by my father is better than the cold iron ore." The third prince explained.

Zhou An touched it and found that Han Tiejing had more cold air.

With his casting skills, he can naturally tell the good from the bad.

Zhou An put it away silently and continued reading.

The third item is a porcelain bottle.

Zhou An opened the porcelain bottle and immediately showed surprise.

Inside are three little finger-sized elixirs.

With his current fifth-level medical Gu pulse, he could only see a little bit of it.

He could tell that this bottle of elixir had extremely strong recovery capabilities.

The third prince smiled and said: "The Rebirth Pill of Dead Wood, this pill can heal even a half-dead person in an instant. Even in the Great Chu Kingdom, it only takes ten pills a year."

Zhou An nodded, silently put it away, and said: "Your Majesty's reward is a bit heavy."

Silver notes are easy to talk about, and Han Tiejing is easy to talk about, but this deadwood rebirth elixir is too precious.

Zhou An knows very well that when there is no pie in the sky, everything has to pay a price.

Since such a heavy reward was given, there must be other requirements.

As soon as Zhou An finished speaking, the third prince spoke.

"Father said that you have done a great job this time, and there are no other requirements for these rewards."

This sentence came out, but it was beyond Zhou An's expectation.

No other requirements?

He was a little confused.

The third prince explained: "This Rebirth Pill was actually requested by Eunuch Wei on behalf of Lord Zhou. Eunuch Wei also asked me to convey a message to Lord Zhou."

Eunuch Wei?

Zhou An touched his chin.

If so, then everything makes sense.

When he was in Yunlai Mansion, Eunuch Wei admired him quite a lot. If Eunuch Wei asked him to come, it would be normal.

"What does Eunuch Wei say?" Zhou An asked.

The third prince put away his smile: "Eunuch Wei said that Mr. Zhou has done a good job. He has to protect the people and should not be merciful to anyone. As long as you are right, just kill him. He has the bottom line for everything. Of course, Wei My father-in-law also said that if you can’t fight, there’s nothing you can do and he won’t help you.”

Zhou An: "..."

To be honest, he really didn't expect Eunuch Wei to be so tough.

This means that as long as it is right and does not conflict with Eunuch Wei's three views, Eunuch Wei will tell the truth?

The third prince saw what Zhou An meant and said: "Eunuch Wei used to be a person who hated evil as much as his enemies. At that time, when the Chu Kingdom was established, a big official in the capital robbed civilian girls on the street. When Eunuch Wei found out, he divided the official in the street. corpse."

"Sigh... Eunuch Wei's character is also related to his experiences. He suffered a lot when he was young. He was adopted by a farmer. He has seen the decay of the old dynasty. It is natural that he will be like this. There is a saying that goes well. After experiencing hardship, you become stronger. Yearning for the light, Eunuch Wei often said that if he could not see the light in his life, he would let the people see it."

Zhou An's mouth twitched.

If that's the case, then there's really nothing wrong with it.

Of course, what Eunuch Wei added later means that if we can't defeat him, we don't want him to help. At most, we can just give him the cover.

That's enough.

"Go on, drink tea." Zhou An filled up the tea for the third prince.

When the third prince saw this scene, he smiled bitterly and said, "Master Zhou is preparing to see off the guests."

There is a rule in drinking tea. If someone fills the cup with tea, it means seeing off the guest.

Zhou An said nothing, but the meaning was obvious.

You've finished delivering the things, and I won't treat you to dinner, so you can go back.

Zhou An always felt that the third prince was not just a gift.

Of course, after all the words were said, Zhou An raised his hand.

"Third Prince, could you please go and let's talk directly."

The third prince understood that Zhou An was not a man who minced words. After organizing his words, he said, "Master Zhou, I'm just here to look familiar."

Zhou An frowned, this statement was beyond his expectation.

The third prince stood up: "Let's go, Mr. Zhou, I have nothing to do here."

Zhou An thought for a while and stood up as well.

If you don't want to say forget it, it will save yourself trouble.

All the way to the door, the third prince declined Zhou An to continue seeing him off, and said goodbye.

After the third prince and the others left, Zhou An returned to the room and put all the contents into the pink purse.

The Deadwood Rebirth Pill and the banknotes were put away. As for Han Tiejing, Zhou An planned to change his equipment again.

The book sent by Zhou Qingyun was put aside, and Zhou An ignored it.

He planned to build the thing first and then talk about it.

Thinking of this, Zhou An turned around and entered the backyard, where there was a building specially prepared for him by Zhou Qingyun.

Not long after, the sound of ding-ding-dong-dong was heard.

…

Dark night, no moon.

The third prince walked on the street, followed by a middle-aged swordsman.

Zhou Qingyun has returned to Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, and the third prince plans to leave Tingyun Mansion.

The middle-aged swordsman said nothing.

"Who is better, you or Zhou An?" the third prince asked.

The middle-aged swordsman pondered for a moment and said: "My sword is only for killing people. In a life-and-death battle, I don't know the outcome."

The third prince said in surprise: "You are already first-class and you don't know the result yet. How is this possible?"

The middle-aged swordsman shook his head and said: "Zhou An has knives, pots, weird movements, and other means. Your Highness, in a life-and-death battle, there is not only one realm, especially for skill masters. Kung Fu masters are easy to improve, and skill masters are easy to improve." It’s difficult to improve, but top-notch technical masters can overcome adversity.”

The third prince fell into deep thought.

The middle-aged swordsman began to remain silent again.

The third prince turned around and said, "I know you want to know why I didn't tell Zhou An."

The middle-aged swordsman shook his head: "No, I don't want to know. I only have this sword. In my mind, I have fought thousands of moves with Zhou An."

The corner of the third prince's mouth twitched and said: "You want to know, you tell me, you want to know, I have to tell you!"

The middle-aged swordsman looked calmly: "Okay, I want to know."

Seeing this perfunctory answer, the third prince didn't care.

"This is the first time we have met. It would be unreasonable to mention anything else. This is just to show familiarity. Let's lay a foundation for future meetings." The third prince finally said it and felt much more comfortable.

The middle-aged swordsman said calmly: "Your Highness, you are wrong."

The third prince was stunned and didn't know why.

The middle-aged swordsman continued: "I think it's the same whether you say it now or in the future."

The third prince shook his head, not wanting to dwell on this issue.

The choice was made by him, and he will not look back.

"By the way, besides Zhou An, what else are you interested in?" the third prince asked again.

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said eloquently: "Ye Shuang, the ninth disciple of the National Master, suddenly had an epiphany a few days ago and reached the first level. I want to fight with the future Taoist disciple of the Taoist sect."

"Also, it is said that in a county, there was a young scholar magistrate. In the process of governance, he had an epiphany and broke through to the second level. When he reaches the first level, I want to give it a try."

"The one I want to try most is Zhou An."

After hearing this, the third prince nodded: "You are not even allowed to try."

The middle-aged swordsman was speechless.

When the third prince saw this scene, he laughed and walked away.

…

Time passes gradually.

The next day.

When the first ray of light in the morning shone down, Zhou An looked at the long knives, pots and soft armor on the iron stove, feeling comfortable.

These things were all made by him using cold iron crystals, which were stronger than cold iron ore.

Every piece of equipment is visibly cold.

"From now on, I'll call you Cold Crystal Knife, Cold Crystal Pot, and Cold Crystal Soft Armor."

A certain Zhou who was not very good at naming and did not want to be named thought.

After naming, Zhou An put on the soft armor, put the knife and pot into the pink purse, and then nodded with satisfaction.

He looked at the pile of books next to him, picked up one of them, and found pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Now, let's read hundreds of volumes first, and then think about investigation skills slowly."

After making up his mind, Zhou An took out a trade book and started excerpting it.

Proficiency has increased.

"As expected!"

Zhou An smiled.

He felt that level five of all skills was not far away.
