Chapter 248.

Before his eyes, a familiar scene appeared, making Zhou An surprisingly quite nostalgic.

“How long has it been since there was a new skill?” Zhou An looked at the line of text made of smoke in front of him and lamented in his heart.

Ever since the skills had become more and more numerous, and he was frantically progressing towards the Tongling Realm, coupled with a long list of miscellaneous things, Zhou An had hardly developed any new skills.

The new skill that appeared today was still because Zhou An had a whim and thought to liver by the way to see if he could liver the fishing skill.

Unexpectedly, ah, it really did liver out for him.

“The fire of my Liver Emperor is burning brightly.”

Zhou An looked at the skill in front of him, his heart was on fire, and he couldn’t help but have itchy hands.

Originally, he was planning to go back, but now in this situation, there was no point in going back, which was as energizing as Liver Proficiency?

The more Zhou An thought about it, the happier he became, and continued to cast his rod and liver.

Fishing was currently at a very low level, only the initial level, and every time he cast the rod, including holding the rod, his proficiency would grow.

This smooth proficiency growth brought Zhou An a great sense of exhilaration, making him want to stop.

On the other side, Black Jade was also fishing quietly, but after waiting for half a day, no fish took the bait.

A person’s good fortune was limited, last time Black Jade had caught quite a few, this time there were basically no fish.

Because of this, Black Jade looked very bored, her nature was such that after playing for a while, there was no more fun.

So, not long after, the shore of this lake, Zhou An was fishing at the lake, while Black Jade was holding Zhou An’s hand at the side, looking very well-behaved.

After another while, the well-behaved Black Jade skinned up, and her white little hands were touching Zhou An’s body.

“Thud!”

Accompanied by a dull sound, the black jade covered its head, muttered a small sound of bad guy, and became much more honest.

The time for liver proficiency was fast, and a night was only a split second difference for Zhou An.

As the saying goes, a good night is easy to pass, but a hard day is difficult, Zhou An Shen even felt that this night passed too quickly, so much so that when the dawn came, Zhou An only put away his fishing rod with a sense of satisfaction.

Next to him, a ground full of fish was the harvest of this night for Zhou An.

“When we turn around, sell them cheaply to those vendors.” From the pink money bag, Zhou An took out a large cloth bag and packed all the fish.

After doing this, Zhou An then looked at the void not far ahead, with a color of excitement in his eyes.

At the void in front of him, smoke, which only he could see, gradually emerged before his eyes.

Eventually, it turned into a line of text.

[Fishing lv.2 (Harvest +1): 1/20000]

After a night of furious livering, just like any other level one skill, Zhou An’s Fishing rose to level two and gained a special attribute.

The smoke disappeared and turned into a large amount of information that was incorporated into Zhou An’s mind.

It didn’t take long for Zhou An to completely consume this skill and master it to the best of his ability.

“Isn’t this what old fishing brothers dream of?” Zhou An stroked his chin and thought in his heart.

Harvest, as the name suggests, is the harvest of fishing, the probability of catching a fish on your own.

Don’t look down on only +1 this one attribute, in fact, the growth brought about is extremely considerable and should not be underestimated.

Think about it, when the second level of knife skills, it was able to finely slice the aunt into bashfulness, so you can imagine the perverse degree of this attribute.

“I have an unsettling premonition, Shi Xi Yuan should be in for some bad luck.”

Zhou An picked up his things and left the lake.

After all, he had agreed yesterday that he would go fishing today, so naturally, Zhou An did not forget.

It didn’t take long before Zhou An disposed of all those caught fish and headed to the Zhen Gui Division.

At this time, inside the Zhen Gui Division, Shi Xi Yuan was already fully armed and waiting for Zhou An.

Fishing rod, fish basket, fish bait ……

All sorts of tools were prepared by Shi Xi Yuan, highlighting the complete equipment of a man dish.

“Lord Zhou, let’s hurry up and set off.” Shi Xi Yuan rubbed his hands together, then, he saw a big fish in Zhou An’s hand, and couldn’t move his gaze for a long time.

This was what Zhou An had caught last night, and by the way, he planned to add a meal to the Zhen Gui Si’s.

“A dozen pounds, not heavy.”

Zhou An gave the fish to He Sheng and waved his hand with a look of unconcern.

This was just like old fishing buddies.

They often Cyber Lost, and from time to time, in certain posts that didn’t belong to fishing, they said how heavy their fish were.

Then, in return, they say who asked you.

“Who asked you?”

The corners of Shi Xi Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly, feeling very uncomfortable that he had been shown the door.

Next to him, He Sheng was carrying a large fish, his mouth grinning up to his ears.

He was already thinking about having a meal of braised fish today.

Logically, a person of his position wouldn’t be happy about a fish.

But this was white whoring!

No one could refuse white whoring!

Zhou An didn’t take it seriously and turned his head to ask, “Leaving now?”

He didn’t have much time, so he pushed.

Shi Xi Yuan gritted his teeth and said, “Now, set off immediately!”

While saying this, he also comforted himself.

It’s fine, I’ll be shown off by him first now, and I’ll show him off later!

The two didn’t chat any more and directly left the Zhen Gui Si and set off towards Qing He’s location.

Qinghe was not far from the Huaixi Capital’s Zhen Gui Division, and before long, Zhou An and Shi Xi Yuan had already arrived at their destination.

Due to the reason that there had been some problems in Qinghe recently, this place had been guarded by the Zhen Gui Si and had not relaxed.

If anyone else had come, they would have had to do some serious probing, but it was Zhou An who had come.

The entire Huaixi Jing Zhen Gui Division was owned by Zhou An, who would dare to check on him, wouldn’t that be looking for death?

“My subordinates have met Lord Zhou!”

The members of the Zhen Gui Division respectfully arched their hands, “Lord Zong just happened to go back and entrusted my subordinate to cooperate with Lord Zhou.”

Zhou An nodded his head, “No need to cooperate with anything, I’m just here to fish.”

This was the truth, but in the ears of the members of the Zhen Gui Si, it was not so.

In the thoughts of the members of the Huaixi Capital’s Zhen Gui Division, who was Lord Zhou, and how could he be an ordinary person.

Fishing, on the surface, was fishing, but there was definitely an ulterior motive.

“I get it, I get it, Lord Zhou has a strategy, it’s not something we can participate in.” The Zhen Gui Si member patted his ass.

The corner of Zhou An’s mouth twitched slightly.

Understand?

What do you understand?

The entire Zhen Gui Si, were all born in the jungle, and their ability to pat official asses, that was too backward.

On the contrary, they still felt that they were patting themselves on the back incredibly well.

Of course, as a leader, Zhou An did not spoil the fun.

“You go down first, I’ll go fishing with Master Teacher.”

He really just came to fish and brush up on his proficiency in the meantime, nothing else.

Of course, the benefits that the Bagua Arithmetic said, he did not recommend going to fish for a bit.

The Zhen Gui Si member walked away.

“Master Teacher, where to start.” Zhou An asked.

“As long as the technique is good enough, you can catch fish anywhere.” Shi Xi Yuan had an expert demeanor.

If he didn’t know that he wasn’t very good, Zhou An might have really believed it.

The two of them combined their efforts and ended up going to the middle section of this clear river.

The Qing River, was the place of livelihood for the last few villages, all villages close to the Qing River relied on this river for their livelihood.

Fetching water and catching fish was a daily phenomenon in the neighboring villages.

But now that the Qing River couldn’t catch fish, the people’s livelihood was cut off.

There were quite a few people in the Great Chu Kingdom who relied on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water.

Although Pei Jingling had messed with Zhou An, his own business skills were good, and he had at least pacified the people well.

The two men stood still and cast their rods one after another.

As for Black Jade, she lost interest and pulled Zhou An’s other hand on her own.

After the rod entered the water, Zhou An was however pondering on how to improve the second level of fishing.

The last time he fished, Zhou An was about a casual, but exceptionally lucky.

This time, Zhou An felt that he had to think hard.

The good thing was that although he didn’t fish often, he more or less understood a little.

After all, in his previous life, those old fishing brothers were too famous.

Fishing, the first thing to be quiet, this is the first and foremost.

If one is fidgety and the fishing rod shakes non-stop, then what kind of fish is there to catch?

Thinking about this, Zhou An made his plans.

He did not continue to stay, and kept himself in a state of meditation, not allowing his mind to be confused.

For people in the trade, keeping still was crucial, and for Zhou An, it was even easier.

Another expression of stillness, Zhou An felt should be seriousness.

When you were serious, your heart would naturally be quiet and not be disturbed by the outside world.

For the Liver Emperor, seriousness could be too easy.

As Zhou An’s heart quieted down, before his eyes, smoke emerged and eventually coalesced into a line of text.

[Fishing +1]

Zhou An narrowed his eyes, and although his face did not show it, he was extremely happy in his heart.

The proficiency level had risen, representing that his way was right, and he could continue to liver on.

Thinking about this, Zhou An began to liver as if no one else was around.

While Zhou An’s side was livering, Shi Xiyuan’s side wasn’t idle and was also fishing.

His expression was incredibly serious.

Because he was very clear that this time, it represented whether he could ascend to the All Saints Realm or not, and likewise, it also represented whether he could catch fish in the future.

The two of them were just fishing by the river.

But strangely enough, neither Zhou An nor Shi Xi Yuan caught any fish.

Zhou An’s proficiency was rising, but his brows furrowed, feeling that there was something not small going on here.

He had the attribute of Harvest, which was especially good for fishing, but why couldn’t even he catch a fish?

Thinking about this, Zhou An then looked at Shi Xi Yuan next to him, and saw that Shi Xi Yuan was still the same.

For those who were often in the air force, they had already gotten used to not being able to catch fish for a long time, and were not surprised.

Zhou An stroked his chin, then operated the air in his body and casted his Thousand Mile Sight.

He wanted to see, in passing, what was so strange about this river.

As Zhou An used his Thousand Mile Sight, the next moment, in front of Zhou An’s eyes, this Qing River had become incomparably clear.

Whether it was the outside of the clear river, or the inside of the clear river, in Zhou An’s case, it was all visible.

Through this clear river, Zhou An saw that underneath the river, there were countless fish, constantly swimming.

“With so many fish, how could the fishermen not be able to catch any fish?” Zhou An felt more and more strange.

At this moment, Zhou An’s fish hook was also inside the Qing River, floating silently.

However, those dexterous fish, whenever they approached the hook, they naturally circled around it, as if they were not fooled at all.

However, Zhou An spread his Clairvoyance all over the surrounding area, and apart from this abnormality, there was no new discovery.

Zhou An thought about it, withdrew his Clairvoyance and continued fishing.

Since it was the State Master who had arranged for Shi Xi Yuan to come over to fish, then he would just fish without worrying.

The proficiency level is rising, that’s what he should worry about.

Thinking about this, Zhou An collected his thoughts and continued to start fishing.

Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

This day down, whether it was Zhou An or Shi Xi Yuan, there was no harvest.

Zhou An felt that he was fine, his fishing proficiency had risen quite a bit, and there wasn’t much farther to go before the qualitative change of the third level.

As for Shi Xi Yuan well …… that is really nothing.

Of course, Shi Xi Yuan has long been accustomed to, did not take it seriously.

During the period, the meals are the members of the Zhen Gui Si sent, but is not troublesome.

And the two people in addition to each doing their own, communication is actually very little.

In this way, many more days passed, and Shi Xi Yuan’s side remained the same, but was happy to do so.

As for Zhou An, his proficiency, finally saw a big increase.

In front of his eyes, the smoke changed for a while, eventually coalescing into a line of text that appeared in front of Zhou An.

[Please choose direction]

[Trick Fishing: Harvest +1, Unknown +1]

[Fishing Strike: Technique +1, Power +1]

Two choices, two directions, different paths.

Zhou An stroked his chin, pondering in his mind, “This Fishing Strike, it’s more like an evolution towards Battle Power, it’s better to choose Trick Fishing, it has the same attributes after all.

Thinking about this, Zhou An chose the skill Trick Fishing and waited patiently.

A few moments later, in front of Zhou An’s eyes, the smoke disappeared and turned into a large amount of information that drilled into Zhou An’s mind.

[Trick Fishing lv.3 (Harvest +2, Unknown +1) 1/40000]

[Storage Proficiency: 25000/80,000]

Due to the Liver Trick Fishing, the proficiency was converted to 25,000 points.

Zhou An felt that even though the Psychic Realm was unexpectedly delayed, it was cool to have one more skill.

It didn’t take long, after Zhou An had absorbed all the information, he had completely mastered the skill of Trick Fishing.

Zhou An stroked his chin and thought in his heart, “This thing, it’s a bit evil.”

Harvest this attribute, after reaching +2, the benefits Zhou An gained from fishing, would be even greater.

As for the Unknown skill, it was outrageous.

With every cast, there was a chance to enter the unknown and hook something out of it.

As for where the hook went, the Unknown attribute, stood out as an unknown.

The greater the unknown attribute, the more random places there would be, and the more outrageous the things caught would be.

Of course, this skill also had limitations.

Unknown +1, represented the opportunity to trigger this attribute, only once.

Thinking about this, Zhou An withdrew his thoughts and got a little itchy.

Come all the way ……

He felt that it would be hard for him if he didn’t try and catch something.

Zhou An began to hold his breath.

Afterward, the air appeared from within him, following this fishing rod and extending out.

A moment later, Zhou An felt that his Qi wrapped the fishing rod.

“This is truly unknown fishing, using the air as bait.” Zhou An thought to himself.

The fish hook began to gradually sway with Zhou An’s thoughts, and a moment later, a misty fog wrapped around the hook.

Zhou An’s fishing rod moved.

Next to him, Shi Xi Yuan froze with a horrified expression.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Shi Xi Yuan shouted in his heart, but did not show it on the surface, still pretending to be calm.

He did not understand why Zhou An’s fishing rod would move.

Wasn’t this his home ground?

The teacher had said that he could catch fish, but what was going on here?

“It’s fine, he’s just a bit faster, no big deal.”

Shi Xi Yuan pretended to be calm, still comforting himself.

Zhou An didn’t think as much as he did, and at this moment, he had already lifted his fishing rod.

Since it wasn’t a fish, there was no need to slip at all, just fish directly.

As Zhou An pulled the fishing rod, the thing on the fish hook, gradually surfaced.

Zhou An looked at what was on the fish hook and fell into deep thought.

“I caught a door?”

On the fish hook, a mountain of ancient wooden doors surfaced, very conspicuous.

The wooden door looked a bit old, and on it was a complicated pattern that Zhou An couldn’t understand, making it look very peculiar.

It was reasonable to say that the wood had been soaked like this, and it was probably already soaked and rotted, but this wooden door, however, did not have any traces of being soaked in water at all.

The entire surface of the wooden door was smooth and clean, dripping with no water.

Shi Xi Yuan also froze.

Fishing this thing, sometimes fishing is not fish things, that is really too normal.

However, this fucking fishing a door up, this reasonable?

Shi Xi Yuan also stopped fishing and directly threw away his fishing rod and came up.

“Lord Zhou, did you catch it or not?”

Zhou An mused, “Probably caught it.”

It was normal to catch a door, that was also a catch.

Thinking of this, Zhou An also threw his fishing rod aside and carefully surveyed the wooden door.

After looking at it for half a day, Zhou An found something unusual.

“Up here, there is actually a formation present?”

Zhou An surveyed the patterns on this wooden door and realized that the patterns on it, were the arrangement of formations.

“Formation, what kind of formation?” Shi Xi Yuan was not noble in formations, so he could not understand it for a moment.

Zhou An pointed at the wooden door and said, “The patterns on it, formed a formation that has a masking effect, but because of the passage of time, the formation is somewhat ineffective.”

Speaking here, Zhou An paused slightly for a moment before continuing.

“Perhaps, the reason why Qinghe couldn’t hit the fish was because the formation had lost its effect, and there was something that existed in the location where the formation was located that affected Qinghe.”

If these two things had to be thoroughly connected, then this would be the only conclusion.

The Qing River was very deep, and this wooden door was bound to be at the very bottom of the Qing River, perhaps even inside the silt at the bottom of the Qing River.

So Zhen Gui Si’s people returned to no avail, and their own clairvoyance, also did not touch this distance.

But it was different now, through fishing, Zhou An caught the wooden door and everything was solved.

While Zhou An was thinking like this, Shi Xi Yuan’s entire body was stunned for a long time.

“No, Lord Zhou, this should have been caught by me.”

By now, Shi Xi Yuan understood what the State Master meant.

According to reason, it should be the time to fish up the wooden door by himself and then solve the follow-up, but …… was Zhou An one step ahead of him.

Zhou An waved his hand with a disinterested face; “Don’t worry, Master Shifu, who goes first and who comes after, isn’t that the same, I’m not going to rob you of your talent either.”

Shi Xi Yuan sniffed and the corner of his mouth twitched, “Talent is not important, what is important is fishing.”

Only he knew how difficult it was for him right now.

Yesterday, the bull was blown out and blown big, but as a result, today, he was slapped in the face.

What you couldn’t catch, Zhou An caught, it’s hard to bear!

“Master Teacher, what are you covering your face for?” Zhou An said strangely.

Shi Xi Yuan felt the phantom pain on his face and waved his hand, looking unconcerned, “I didn’t rest well yesterday, some discomfort, it doesn’t matter.”

Zhou An thought for a moment and said, “Master Shifu, I think it’s better to keep it tight.”

Shi Xi Yuan: “?”

He always felt that there was something in Zhou An’s words, but he could not find a problem.

Zhou An didn’t continue to joke around and returned to the topic, “The wooden door has been fished out, so it’s certain that there’s a problem inside, and the concealment effect of the wooden door, has also disappeared.”

“So, going straight into the water and speeding through is the key.”

Who cares what you are, chop it all up.

After chopping it up, just go back to liver proficiency, wouldn’t that be nice?

Shi Xi Yuan also agreed with Zhou An’s approach, and then, took out a piece of talisman paper and handed it to Zhou An, also explaining.

“Sir Zhou, this is the Water Avoidance Talisman, although when used, it will still be a bit sluggish in the water, but the effect is much better.”

This meant that Shi Xi Yuan was also going to go into the water.

After all, this matter, in the end, was Shi Xi Yuan’s business.

“No need to give it to me.” Zhou An shook his head.

Shi Xi Yuan said, “Lord Zhou, this water is not like the shore, a lot of means can’t be exercised, more care is needed, Lord Zhou, what are you doing?”

As he spoke, he saw Zhou An walking towards the river.

“Solving a problem.”

Zhou An came to the riverside and replied indifferently, then lifted his foot and stepped in towards the surface of the river.

As Zhou An stepped into the surface of the river, it was as if the river was alive, dragging Zhou An on top of it.

At this moment, Zhou An stood on the surface of the river as if he was standing on the ground.

Shi Xi Yuan froze, ”There is still this kind of ability? Just how many abilities has Lord Zhou cultivated?”

He knew that Zhou An had many abilities, but he really did not expect that it would be so many that it was outrageous.

Of course, even more outrageous came.

If the beginning was called outrageous, then now it was outrageous his mom opening the door to outrageous, outrageous to the core.

In Shi Xi Yuan’s eyes, he only saw Zhou An raise his right hand and slightly point it downwards.

A horrifying scene appeared.

As Zhou An’s right hand fell, the calm surface of the river suddenly boiled, as if someone was cooking this clear river.

As the surface of the river boiled, a crack appeared from the center, and in just a few breaths of time, the crack expanded rapidly.

This immense and incomparable clear river was split in two by Zhou An, and a land-like area appeared in the center.

“Really, it’s outrageous!” Shi Xi Yuan couldn’t help but voice out.

He didn’t understand the thoughts of those heavenly prides before, but now he finally understood and empathized with them.

It was so hard for everyone to come to the era where you were fighting for your chance to shine, but as a result, a Zhou An suddenly appeared.

Even if he came out, he even pushed everyone down and couldn’t breathe.

Who could bear this?

Not to mention those of the younger generation, they were all a little hard to bear.

Zhou An didn’t bother with Shi Xi Yuan, but instead surveyed the silt below and raised an eyebrow, “It’s no different from what I thought, it’s in the silt at the bottom of the river.”

When the wooden door appeared, Zhou An used Bagua Arithmetic to project it, and the result was very obvious.

From the wooden door there were golden threads that continued to extend, and finally extended to the location where Zhou An had just divided the water.

“Let’s go, Master Teacher, get it done quickly.” Zhou An said.

Master Xi nodded farther, then stood at the edge of the river and threw a piece of talisman paper towards the bottom of the river.

The talisman paper scattered on top of the silt at the bottom of the river.

Shi Xi Yuan pinched a spell and said silently, “Move!”

As the word exited, a magical scene appeared.

On the talisman paper, a burst of light shone brightly.

Within the light, the silt was disappearing at an extremely fast speed.

“Carrying talisman, moving the silt into the talisman paper so as not to damage what the silt is hiding.” Shi Ziyuan explained.

Zhou An said, “It’s still Qi Practitioners who have diverse means, unlike me, who is just somewhat capable of fighting.”

Shi Xi Yuan sniffed and his head was filled with black lines.

Listen, is this called human language?

After Shi Xi Yuan used the Handling Talisman, the silt at the bottom of the river disappeared at an extremely fast speed.

After about an incense stick of time, underneath the silt, it finally revealed its true colors.

“Building?”

Zhou An looked at what was underneath and rubbed his chin.

It was a tower, probably more than nine stories high, and it exuded an ancient and desolate feeling.

On the outside of the tower, there was an exquisite pattern, carved in relief.

The interior could not be seen, but this outside alone was enough to be noticeable.

Zhou An tried to sense it with his Clairvoyance and realized that this tower was also made of special materials, and the Clairvoyance could not penetrate it at all.

“Unpenetrable again, a bit interesting.”

Zhou An tried to do a fortune telling for himself, measuring good and bad fortune.

In front of Zhou An’s eyes, the golden eight trigrams continued to rotate, eventually forming a golden color.

A sign of great fortune.

“Go down and take a look.”

Zhou An greeted Ke Shi Xi Yuan with a sound, intending to take a look first.

Since things were coming out, it would be better to look at the situation and solve the problem.

Who knew that just as Zhou An cast his eyes over, he saw Shi Xi Yuan’s face full of concentration, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Zhou An stroked his chin and said, “Master Shi, isn’t it just me fishing up first, next time I’ll let you fish first.”

Shi Xi Yuan sniffed, reacted, and smiled bitterly, “Lord Zhou, I don’t mean that, what I mean is that I feel that this tower has been attracting me.”

Attracting?

Zhou An did not understand.

Shi Xi Yuan explained, “It’s like, there’s something special inside that’s very important to me, that should be my talent flaw.”

Zhou An nodded, “In that case, then just go straight in.”

Having discovered it, go and get it back, good for you and good for me, everyone will be happy.

Shi Xi Yuan smiled bitterly, “But, this thing, I feel like there’s more than one.”

Zhou An frowned: “Master Shi, don’t speak in half sentences, everyone is not a child, don’t engage in any guessing.”

What do you mean by more than one again, Zhou An felt that Shi Xi Yuan had definitely discovered something very impressive.

After all, Shi Xi Yuan’s talent was closely related to this place, and it was only natural that he had discovered it.

Shi Xi Yuan pondered for a moment, seemingly organizing his words, before saying after a while, “My talent flaw is inside, but I feel that there are many talent flaws inside, and my being inside is just one of them.”

Speaking here, Zhou An finally heard it.

This meant that Shi Xi Yuan’s talent was flawed, and the one that was lacking was here, and it also said that there were many more that were here as well, so that meant that what was left here were all those missing parts of the talent.

“Then this tower, wouldn’t it be the tower that holds the talents?” Zhou An stroked his chin and said.

Shi Xi Yuan felt that there was nothing wrong with saying so.

The two of them put their heads together and decided to enter and explore.

Joking aside, having come here, neither of them was a saving grace, and it would be a scratch if they didn’t go in to take a look.

With Zhou An controlling the river, the two of them did not have the slightest resistance, and very smoothly, they arrived in front of this tower.

Standing in front of the nine-tiered tower, and looking down from a high altitude, the feeling was completely different.

It was only when Zhou An stood in front of it that he felt that ancient and desolate atmosphere coming over him, with a characteristic sense of history, as if it was telling the people in front of him that it came from a very ancient era.

Below the nine-tiered tower, the gate was tightly closed, and above the tightly closed gate, there were lines and lines of text that Zhou An could not understand.

“Words from an ancient age?”

With just this glance, Zhou An knew the age of this Nine Layered Tower.

It was at least the era of the Great Domain Dynasty.

In fact, if you thought about it, it was right, only that era was the very first era when the talent was passed down.

However, Zhou An had a trace of doubt in his heart.

The reason for the doubt came from this Nine Layered Pagoda.

In the beginning, the Ancient Early Sages had come up with something like a talent in order to be able to pass it down.

However, why would they design a nine-layered tower here, specifically making some of the talents defective, and also keeping the defective parts, all locked up here?

The tightly closed doors of the room, there was only one, and the other was empty.

This was because one of them was in Zhou An’s hands, the one that he had just caught through fishing at the beginning.

Through this open half of the door, Zhou An saw that it was as dark as ink, with nothing inside.

This kind of blackness was not a lightless blackness, it was as if someone had used a piece of cloth to block everything in front of them, so nothing could be seen.

Zhou An was just about to say something when he didn’t expect Shi Xi Yuan to look at the door of the room in front of him and slowly open his mouth.

“Lord Zhou, this feeling is getting stronger and stronger, it’s as if it’s urging me to go in, but I don’t know why, but I feel that apart from that call, there’s even more of a terrifying touch.”

“Terrifying touch?” Zhou An mesmerized his eyes, glancing back and forth at the half-door in front of him.

Afterward, he raised his right hand.

At the position of the middle finger of his right hand, the Gold Transformation Ring squirmed and changed into a long knife that emerged in Zhou An’s hand.

After the long knife emerged, Zhou An did not hesitate and slashed towards the open half door.

When Zhou An slashed out with this knife, the light of the knife transformed into an ebony green color, wrapped in a stream of water, and entered the door of nothingness.

A moment later, Zhou An’s eyes narrowed slightly as he faintly said, “My blade light, it was gnawed away by something.”

His words had just fallen, when he heard the creepy sound of gnawing coming from inside this nine-tiered tower.

After Shi Xi Yuan heard Zhou An’s words, he was about to reply.

But before he could reply, a human face emerged from within the empty half door.

When Shi Xi Yuan saw this human face, a great shock appeared on his face.

“How does this …… look exactly like me?”

(Sitting on the train for a long time, this chapter was written on the train with a cell phone, begging for a monthly ticket.)
