Chapter 121.

“I will give Lord Zhou an explanation.” The Xu Fu Order took a deep breath.

Zhou An watched Xu Fu Order’s increasingly gloomy face with a very happy expression, as if he had picked up money for no reason.

In fact, he hadn’t wanted to cause any trouble, he had come here just to keep a low profile with his liver proficiency and then develop in silence.

But the problem was, he didn’t want to cause trouble, but there were other people who came to cause trouble for him.

Nowadays, this guy called Yin Cheng was purely stirring up his nose.

If he still ignored the situation in the face of this, the result would be even worse.

This was how it was nowadays, if you acted weak and bullying, you would allow more people to come and bully you.

It was only when you acted strong that you would make the other party soften.

When he came here, he had thought that Prefect Xu was a relatively upright person like the other Prefects he had met.

But such a thing as a human being, in itself, is a hundred different kinds of rice to raise a hundred different kinds of people.

As of now, this Xu Fu Ling didn’t seem to like him too much, and this matter should be known to Xu Fu Ling.

In that case, Zhou An was even more nonchalant.

He wasn’t afraid of this guy, we all worked in Tingyunfu, but in different positions.

The Crafting Supervisor was not under the control of the Tingyun Mansion’s Prefectural Order.

After finishing this sentence with Zhou An, Prefectural Order Xu finally couldn’t help himself and spoke, “Sir Zhou, this matter was a momentary negligence on Yin Cheng’s part and that’s why it resulted in such an outcome, I will punish him, don’t worry about that.”

Zhou An, however, shook his head, “The punishment I want is not simple, this matter, to put it in a larger context, is delaying His Majesty’s great event.”

Immediately, Yin Cheng became anxious and said loudly, “I only made a mistake in arranging it, how did it become such a big matter in your mouth, you are clearly trying to use this opportunity to suppress me.”

When these words were uttered, Yin Cheng immediately closed his mouth, he knew that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

This kind of thing, sometimes it could really be big or small, especially this matter of his.

According to Zhou An’s kind of argument, it actually worked.

Prefect Xu cursed a stupidity in his heart.

He originally wanted to follow Zhou An’s meaning and punish Yin Cheng a little bit, so everyone could just mean it.

However, he had never thought that Yin Cheng would come out with this kind of words, which was completely provocative.

This matter was probably very difficult to deal with!

As expected, after Yin Cheng finished his words, Zhou An had a teasing look on his face and said in a flirtatious tone, “You finally admitted it, and I’m too lazy to run the Inspection Division again, what you just said, can I interpret it as defying His Majesty in the capital?”

As the words fell, Yin Cheng’s face turned green and purple, shocked by Zhou An’s words.

Zhou An did not bother with him anymore, but looked at the Xu Fu Order on the side: “Whatever you want, whatever you want, I would like to see, how you deal with it.”

The Xu Prefectural Order sighed, knowing that there was no more room for redemption, and could only say, “I will handle this impartially, and give Your Excellency Zhou a perfect explanation when the time comes, this matter is due to me not restraining my subordinates enough, please forgive me, Your Excellency Zhou.”

He conceded.

It couldn’t be helped, even if he couldn’t see Zhou An from the bottom of his heart, this matter, at the present time, was completely in Zhou An’s favor.

So even if he didn’t want to be soft, he couldn’t.

“Then I’ll be waiting for Lord Xu’s good news.” Zhou An arched his hand and suddenly changed the topic, “Has Mister Zhou offended Lord Xu at some point.”

Lord Xu shook his head, indicating that he had not offended.

Zhou An continued, “Then why is it that Lord Xu is not used to seeing Zhou Mou?”

There were some things that it was better to say in the open than anything else, and Zhou An didn’t like to play those tricks.

By asking clearly now, he was also able to understand exactly what had gone wrong.

Unexpectedly, Xu Fu Ling still shook his head, looking like he didn’t want to say anything.

Seeing this, Zhou An knew that he couldn’t continue.

He didn’t say anything more and turned around to leave.

As for why Xu Fu Ling was upset with himself, Zhou An didn’t have the time or leisure to find out.

He had a lot of things to do, and there was the skill Imperial Water waiting for Liver as well.

“Farewell.”

Zhou An’s figure walked further and further away, quickly disappearing into the corner of the room.

Only after Zhou An had walked away did Yin Cheng then exclaimed with his hands in the air, “Lord Xu, I did all of this for you, you can’t just leave me alone.”

Unexpectedly, when he finished this sentence, Lord Xu’s expression became even more eerie, and said in an extremely cold tone, “I just asked you to make a small trip for him, so that he would come here and have a less peaceful life, and you made such a big deal out of it, how do you want me to help you?”

“I’m telling you, prepare to be punished, the most I can do is to save your life, and that’s pretty good.”

Yin Cheng’s face turned deathly gray, he wanted to say something else, but after the words reached his mouth, nothing could be said.

This is something that can’t be said anymore, if he said more, he would even offend Order Xu.

Xu Fu Ling didn’t bother with this person anymore, instead, he looked at the direction where Zhou An left and snorted coldly, “You better not break the laws of the Great Chu Kingdom, or I will definitely punish you severely.”

In the entire courtyard, the only sound left was the words of Prefect Xu.

Zhou An went out of the government office and walked towards the Crafting Supervisor again.

He could go back now and have a meal on the way.

A large portion of the day had already passed, Zhou An did not nag, in this aspect of eating, he would never treat himself poorly.

Besides, there was a whole bunch of silver tickets.

When I read novels in the past, there were novels where the protagonist got a huge fortune and still lived the same light days as before.

Zhou An couldn’t stand it.

In this world, who wouldn’t want to live a good life, and he had this condition, so naturally he was going to use it?

So, Zhou An found the restaurant again and ate a good meal, before strutting out from inside the restaurant.

Originally, he wanted to leave, but without taking a few steps out, he saw a cacophony of voices on the street.

The sound was very disorganized and came from far away.

Following the sound, he saw that at the end of the street, there were three layers of people surrounding him.

Zhou An walked over with slight curiosity, and when he saw the people surrounding him, his face became extremely odd.

It was still broad daylight at this time, but in the middle of the crowd, there was a person at this moment, covered in water stains.

His clothes were wet, and the water dripped down his clothes onto the ground, dripping the ground into a damp patch.

Beside him, there were quite a few people holding him up, and he was walking to the side.

And the people who surrounded these people made a way.

Soon, this water-covered man was being assisted and disappeared at the end of the street.

Zhou An was puzzled, not understanding what was happening.

At this time, he heard those people talking and instantly understood.

“Alas, another flood, another flood ah, this Tingyunfu of ours is really difficult.”

“Who says it isn’t? They all say that the Tingyun Mansion is prosperous, but who can know that we are suffering ah.”

“It can’t be helped, our backs are against that big river, and this flooding happens every now and then, the dam has been built for so long, but there’s still no way to do anything about it.”

“Alas, I went to the temple to burn incense the other day, and the temple was also flooded once, it’s really hard.”

Listening to the various complaints from the people, Zhou An pondered that it seemed to be related to the flooding.

But he didn’t bother to ask more questions, and looking at the direction that the person covered in water was walking, it should be the direction of the government office, looking at the meaning of this was to go to find the Xu Prefecture Order.

This is not within his purview, he can not solve the matter, he did not stay more, so he continued to rush in the direction of the craftsman’s supervisor.

It didn’t take long to reach his destination.

At this time, Hu Haijin and the others were busily flipping through various dossiers.

With the arrival of a new superior, it was only natural for them to do their best to perform, to get through all the various mineral data of this Tingyun Prefecture.

In case this Lord Zhou was in a bad mood one day and asked something and they didn’t know anything, it would be really embarrassing at that time.

After all, Lord Zhou had also said that he could raise people who touched fish here, but not those who were vegetables.

So everyone was diligent at this time as well.

After hearing footsteps, Hu Hai Jin and the others raised their heads and happened to see Zhou An walk in and hurriedly greeted him.

“Good day, Sir Zhou.”

Zhou An nodded, found a chair next to him and sat down, and said in an old-fashioned manner, “Yin Cheng’s matter has been resolved, he paid the appropriate price, and this matter is over.”

When this sentence came out, it could be said that the speaker had no intention of saying it, but the listener had the intention of hearing it.

Hu Haijin and the others were shocked.

They were clear that Zhou An had gone out on this trip and solved this trouble.

But none of them knew what method was used to solve it.

Inwardly, they were filled with curiosity, but did not dare to ask.

Zhou An of course did not explicitly say these things, it would be meaningless to say it explicitly.

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

Hu Haijin and the others were also considered old farts, knowing that Zhou An was not willing to speak, they did not dare to ask more.

Even if they were curious again, they all suppressed their curiosity.

“By the way, let me ask you guys, why does it seem like Order Xu Fu is not treating me very well?” Zhou An asked.

This was something he hadn’t figured out until now, clearly he hadn’t offended this guy either, but this guy was very displeased with himself.

Hu Hai Jin was silent for a moment, and finally answered honestly, “Your Excellency doesn’t know, Lord Xu is from a prestigious family, and even though this so-called prestigious family, has already semi-declined, it is still considered to be from a scholarly family.”

He didn’t dare not say anything, he knew that this lord looked calm, but was actually very strong in control.

If an uncontrollable situation arose, this lord was very decisive.

So facing this kind of superior, it was better to answer honestly.

Zhou An stroked his chin, “Bookish family, does this have anything to do with him not liking me?”

Hu Haijin hurriedly replied, “It’s not that he is not accustomed to seeing your lordship, in fact, how can I put it, he has that kind of pedantry and condescension that is unique to the bookish people, and he is not accustomed to seeing the grassroots.”

Having said that, everything became clear.

Zhou An quickly understood the truth of the matter.

There were some readers, right, who came from a very good background, probably with their ancestors running down the line, a traditional bookish family.

However, most of those born in this kind of bookish family are arrogant and conceited.

Of course, can not be beaten to death, there are very few cases, is the kind of very easy-going.

And people like Xu Fu Ling, the most disliked is like Zhou An such Jianghu reckless.

This kind of dislike is not the kind of intentional difficulty, but the nature of the condescension.

To be clear, it wasn’t looking at you with displeasure, it was looking at your origin with displeasure.

“Alright.” Zhou An nodded.

Hu Haijin hesitantly said, “My lord, how do you want to deal with the Xu Fu Order?”

Zhou An gave him a strange look, “Why would I want to deal with him, this person and I don’t cross paths, as long as I don’t break the law, he can’t do anything about me, moreover, this person of his isn’t really a thing to me.”

He himself is very busy right now, he doesn’t have time to give a damn about this guy, grabbing the time to first level up Imperial Water to level five.

And also go ahead and level up the other skills.

Yin Cheng stomped on his nose before he himself went up and slapped him hard a few times.

A clearly pedantic scholar like Xu Fu Ling, he himself didn’t bother.

Not even an enemy, why bother with him?

This is not full of food, to find their own problems?

Of course, if Xu Fu Ling gave an inch, then Zhou An would really not let it go.

Hu Haijin heard these, also dare not say more, can only nod, continue to seriously flip through the file.

Zhou An came over and actually said this matter.

After the matter was finished, he lifted his foot and was about to leave, but then he thought of that person he met in the street, and talked about the situation just now, asking about the doubts in his heart.

Hu Haijin smiled bitterly and said, “Your Excellency does not know, our Tingyunfu has a big river at its back, and with the terrain plus the seasons, we commit floods from time to time, and to be honest, the ones who are the most unlucky are the villages that are close to the big river.”

“The floods won’t put their lives in danger, but the impact isn’t small either, the Tingyun Province is indeed very prosperous, and that’s the only thing that’s the hardest to bear.”

These answers were pretty much the same as Zhou An’s guess.

If there are advantages, there are disadvantages, this is something that actually depends on how the Tingyun Mansion responds.

Listening to what Hu Haijin had just said, even if a dam was built, it would be difficult to block it, so it was assumed that the terrain and the season were truly peculiar.

Of course, he just asked and didn’t think any more about it.

There was nothing else to do now, so he headed towards his mansion.

As usual, after going back, Zhou An directly began to liver Royal Water, simulating the five meter long dragon.

Time just gradually passed for many days.

Zhou An had been simulating non-stop.

During this period, as he thought, the Xu Fu Order did not come over to oppose him again.

This thing was actually just like that.

He was not used to seeing himself, and he was not used to seeing him, so the two of them would just stay away from each other, anyway, each minding their own business, as long as you don’t come to mess with me, I won’t mess with you.

However, this period of time down, Zhou An is really crazy liver Royal Water this skill.

After such a long time, this skill, Royal Water, finally reached level five as expected.

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

Not long after, the smoke formed a special line of text, and after the text appeared, it quickly became clear.

[Imperial Water lv.5 (Watery +4, Control +4): 1/80,000]

“Finally, another item has been completed.”

Zhou An Xin was overjoyed and waited patiently.

The smoke quickly disappeared, turning into a large amount of information that flooded into his mind.

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

The air in his body had shrunk a part of it again, and at the moment, this mass of air, was not as simple as just air, a part of it had even condensed into something like water.

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

Of course, at this time, it had to be constantly compressed, and it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to form this Air Dan for a while.

He was not in a hurry, as long as his proficiency continued to rise, he would be able to achieve what he wanted.

Now that the Water Master had reached level 5, not only had his attributes doubled, but his water and control abilities were even stronger.

Zhou An raised his hand, and this time, he did not invoke the water in the pool, but instead, he began to catalyze it out of thin air.

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

This water dragon looked extremely delicate, even its scales were lifelike.

“I am now able to condense out of thin air, this is a qualitative change.” Zhou An’s face was filled with joy.

Looking at the water faucet in mid-air, he pulled out the Cold Iron Blade and swung the blade light into mid-air.

The blade light was covered with a layer of water flow in addition to the snow white color.

The water current rotated at high speed, increasing the powerful might, and this time his own blade light, had a qualitative improvement.

He estimated that this blade would be able to directly split the original Mi Mo into two halves without stopping.

“I’m reminded of Auntie Comedian again.”

Zhou An sighed, remembering the aunt that he had split into fifty-six parts.

If he had his current caliber, he wouldn’t have let the aunt die so tragically in the first place.

However, the aunt was indeed a comedian, and he was actually able to think of himself at this point in time.

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

[Butcher’s Sword Technique lv.5 (Speed +4, Accuracy +4): 1/80,000]

[Bumping Things lv.4 (Strength +2, Destruction +2): 1/60,000]

[Swimming Dragon Step lv.4 (Speed +2, Dodge +2): 1/60,000]

[Fusion Casting Method lv. 5 (Hardness +4, Fusion +4): 1/80,000]

[Read Hundred Scrolls lv. 4 (Spirit +2, Understanding +2): 1/60,000]

[Imperial Water lv.5 (Wateriness +4, Water Control +4): 1/80,000]

That was all the skills he had in front of him.

Nowadays, only Bumping Objects, Swimming Dragon Steps and Reading a Hundred Scrolls were at level four, while the others had all reached level five.

Especially Imperial Water, which came later.

Now he was pondering how to raise it, or rather, which one to raise.

After pondering for a few moments, Zhou An ended up looking at Swimming Dragon Steps.

This skill was actually very strong.

Not only was it able to enhance the stance, it was also able to enhance the ability to flash around, it was just that it wasn’t quite so impressive in his own hands.

To be precise, it wasn’t that it wasn’t very colorful, but that no one could force himself to use the Swimming Dragon Steps very often.

Although the people he encountered were very strong, and I’m afraid that they were all hard to deal with for those prides of the heavens, but with himself, the open one, standing in front of them, they wouldn’t be enough to look at.

So on the surface, the presence of the traveling dragon step is not strong, but can not be without ah.

Once the critical moment came, it would be embarrassing to not be able to take it out when the time came.

This was what Zhou An was currently thinking, to upgrade, he would upgrade comprehensively and build himself into a polygonal warrior.

“Then how should I upgrade?”

Zhou An stroked his chin and thought carefully.

In fact, this thing, right, for him, in the beginning, he had utilized the Earth Pack Formation to raise it.

But after reaching the fourth level, the earthbag formation didn’t seem to be useful anymore.

Zhou An thought about it and lowered his head, looking at his legs.

The Swimming Dragon Steps, well, it must have something to do with the legs, he just stared, and after staring for a long time, he caught a hint of inspiration in his mind.

“When I used to run in the past, there were quite a few people who liked to run with weights, do I have to come with some weights?”

He remembered an anime he had watched before, in which there was a physical arts expert who wore a watermelon head.

This watermelon head was the one with weights all over his body, and the moment he removed the weights, his strength directly soared.

Since they were practicing body techniques, weight-bearing exercises seemed to be one of them.

Thinking of this, Zhou An directly went out the door.

He was an acute person and a Liver Emperor, having something to liver, coupled with his own impatient nature, he had to get this done right away.

As for what to do, naturally, he went through the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

On the way, Zhou An inquired about the place of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce and headed directly to his destination, and within a short time, he arrived at the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce in Tingyunfu.

It should be said that it was worthy of being a rich chamber of commerce.

Zhou An looked at the luxurious gates in front of him, as well as the merchants coming and going, and felt that there must be a lot of money in here.

This thing was close to pasting the word rich on the door.

Of course, if anyone couldn’t think of anything else and wanted to come to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce to rob a meal, it would probably be quite difficult.

After all, the rich Hengtong Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t skimp on security in terms of defense.

Zhou An’s arrival naturally caught the attention of several merchants.

Nowadays, Zhou An’s portrait could be considered as circulating as money in the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

It was almost as if Zhou An was offered on the table and a pillar of incense.

The other merchants had shrewd minds, and they knew that they had to make everyone in their Chamber of Commerce recognize Zhou An.

Otherwise, if they met him on the road one day and accidentally offended him, then the drama would be really bloody.

So with Zhou An’s arrival, a few merchants immediately greeted him with smiles.

“Greetings to Lord Zhou, I wonder what Lord Zhou has come here for.”

Zhou An made his intentions known, saying that he wanted to meet Zhou Qingyun.

The merchant was very resourceful and quickly led Zhou An to the interior of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, Zhou An realized that there was something else inside as well.

The outside was luxurious enough, but the inside was even more so.

All sorts of furnishings, all sorts of buildings, it was truly first class.

When the merchant brought Zhou An to one of the exquisite rooms, he stated that he could not go back in.

Zhou An nodded his head and said thank you in the merchant’s flattered eyes before he went up and knocked on the door.

Not long after, Zhou Qingyun’s tired voice came from inside: “Please come in.”

Zhou An pushed the door in and saw that Zhou Qingyun was sitting on a chair with a set of scrolls 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 after seeing that it was Zhou An.

But when he had just stood up, his body shook violently for a few moments, as if he would fall down at any time.

Zhou An took two steps forward, holding Zhou Qingyun’s body, and asked, “Man, your body is weak enough, have you been busy hanging out at hookah places lately?”

He was just livening up the atmosphere, both of them were surnamed Zhou, and were considered a family, so it was nothing to call him a buddy.

Hearing this, Zhou Qingyun shook his head, revealing a bitter smile, “Your Excellency is joking, if it was usual I would really go shopping, but lately I’ve been too busy.”

Zhou An Wenyan asked curiously, “Man, what is it that you are so busy with?”

To be reasonable, if there wasn’t something big going on, such a head of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce would definitely not be this busy.

Zhou Qingyun did not hide it either, he treated Zhou An as one of his own and started pouring out his bitterness, “What else can there be, recently there have been frequent floods, the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce has to go to the relief of those flood victims, they also have to repair their houses, and they have already been extremely tired from the recent allocation of all kinds of silver.”

Hearing this, Zhou An appreciated, “I can’t imagine that dude is also a charitable person.”

He had also heard about the flooding, and he didn’t think that the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce was even reviving the disaster.

Zhou Qingyun sighed, “The founder of our Hengtong Chamber of Commerce was supported by the people in the beginning, His Majesty values the people, and the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce equally values the people, although they are businessmen, they can seek profit, but they can never be ungrateful.”

“Therefore, Hengtong Chamber of Commerce set up a rule, once the people need, no matter what the cost, to serve the people to solve the problem.”

This tenet, even when Zhou An heard it, he could not help but give a thumbs up.

If it was really as Zhou Qingyun said, the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce was able to survive for so many years, it did have its reasons.

The people are the root, Zhou An thought the same way, if the people are not put at heart, then a place, no matter how prosperous it is, will only be for a moment.

“Your Majesty, didn’t you send anyone over to settle this?” Zhou An asked.

This kind of thing could be big or small, but how could it be said that it had appeared within the territory of the Great Chu Kingdom, and with that His Majesty’s nature, it shouldn’t be like this.

“His Majesty arranged for someone to resolve it, but there was no way at all.” Zhou Qingyun smiled bitterly, “That place, it involves a lot of problems with the terrain, as well as the seasons, and it will be like this every time it comes to this time of the year.”

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

“Let’s not talk about this, Lord Zhou, what’s the important thing about coming over this time?”

Zhou Qingyun still didn’t forget the main matter and opened his mouth to ask.

Zhou An spoke his thoughts over, and added, “There’s no rush on my side, man get your own things done first, your side is the top priority.”

To talk about this, although Zhou An didn’t consider himself a gentleman, he wasn’t a villain either.

This kind of thing, he felt that it was still a matter of importance.

Proficiency, well, you want to liver yourself, but if you encounter this kind of thing, it’s fine to go back a little.

There were times when Zhou An thought that one shouldn’t take benefits too seriously.

“Thank you for Lord Zhou’s understanding, but helping Lord Zhou with these things is just a small matter.”

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

Zhou An didn’t push any further and nodded, saying that Zhou Qingyun should take care of his health before leaving straight away.

Returning home, he waited patiently for a while.

As expected, it wasn’t long before a whole bunch of workers entered the house and started to set up the earthbag formation for him.

With these people helping with the setup, it didn’t take long before it was already set up in a house.

There were also some workers who handed over a set of clothing.

Not only the clothes, but also pants and shoes.

Inside the clothes were iron blocks cast from pure iron, and the same inside the pants.

The shoes and leg guards, on the other hand, were completely cast from iron, including the position of the hand guards, which were also added with pure iron, and the workmanship was extremely exquisite.

Zhou An was originally a connoisseur of the casting path, and could tell a thing or two at a glance.

The workers did not say much and flew away, leaving Zhou An alone in the room.

He looked at the weighted equipment and after thinking for a moment, he put it all on.

In the next moment, he felt that his body was much heavier.

Taking out the pan from the pink money bag, Zhou An used this cold iron casted pan and slapped it furiously at these earth packs.

As the wind rose, the earth bag formation swayed from side to side, and Zhou An ran the air in his body and stepped directly into it.

Although the earth bag formation swayed from side to side, it was unable to touch Zhou An’s body at all.

Whenever the earth bag was about to approach, it was easily dodged by Zhou An.

After about a column of incense, Zhou An retreated, his brows furrowed tightly.

“Why didn’t the proficiency level go up?”

Zhou An pondered in his heart.

He had just broken in there for such a while, but the proficiency level did not rise.

He suspected that there was definitely something wrong here.

“My method should be correct.”

Zhou An once again revolved the Qi in his body and walked two feet according to the method of the Swimming Dragon Steps.

It was at this time that he suddenly froze, followed by a slap on his thigh, revealing a dazed expression.

“God is fucking right, my method is wrong!”

His method was indeed wrong, not only was it wrong, it was outrageously wrong.

There was no problem with weight bearing, but after weight bearing, running the Qi in his body, for that matter, instantly lightened the weight.

To be honest, after running the Qi in his body, Zhou An felt that he would not be affected unless he went to resist extremely heavy objects.

“That is to say, I might still be able to do it if I don’t use my Qi.”

The characteristic of the Wandering Dragon Steps was that it allowed the Qi to form a thin film molded from the Qi on the surface.

This was something that no one could see, but once an attack approached the body, it could be sensed through the air and then reacted to.

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

He could run the Qi in his body, but only form a film on the outside.

This way the weighted body was also useful.

And it would also allow the characteristics of the Swimming Dragon Steps to be utilized.

Figuring out the key to this, Zhou An continued to try.

He picked up the iron pot and fanned out a gale once again.

Immediately afterward, following the idea he started with, he walked into the earthbag formation.

This time, a heavy feeling came out.

Zhou An was able to clearly feel that the weight on his body was affecting the Swimming Dragon Steps’ vacillating and flashing.

In the next moment, a text appeared before his eyes.

[Swimming Dragon Steps +1]

After the text surfaced, Zhou An’s face revealed a look of delight, “My method is correct!”

Before his eyes, the earthbag formation became golden.

He knew that it was the key to raising the Swimming Dragon Steps to level five.

“Next, it’s time for me to perform my Liver Emperor skills.”

Zhou An cast the Swimming Dragon Steps like a swimming dragon and kept roaming inside while enjoying the rapid increase in proficiency.

Zhou An’s side was in the middle of his liver proficiency, and on the other side, Xu Fu Ling looked at the various dossiers piled up in front of him, and only felt that his head was as big as a cow.

Standing beside him were many old men, these were the village heads of the various villages.

The village heads had faces like bitter melons, they were close to crying out.

“Lord Xu, the flooding this time is worse than ever, it’s too hard for our villages there now.”
