Xia Luo had a sword in his waist, and he ran into the blacksmith shop all the way on a rampage, and when he saw Lu An, he couldn't help but show off and said, "Look, look." ”

Lu An glanced at it and asked, "What do you have to look at?"

Seeing that Lu An didn't react, Xia Luo took two steps closer, straightened his waist, and said, "Take a good look." ”

Lu An was amused by Xia Luo's behavior, and laughed directly.

"What's so funny about that? Haven't you seen it yet?" asked Charlo with a strange look on her face, and then straightened up again.

"Okay, okay, don't stand up, I saw it, isn't it just a sword in your waist, what's all the fuss. Lu An said disapprerovingly.

"Xiao Anzi, what is it called, this is a sword, this is my own sword. After Xia Luo finished speaking, he pulled it out and shook it in front of Lu An.

Lu An could only helplessly watch Xia Luo show off there.

I understood that I walked in from the side, and I didn't know what I was doing when I saw Xia Luo holding a sword, so I went up and punched Xia Luo in the head, and Xia Luo was knocked to the ground with an "ah".

Understood and squatted down and looked at it twice, "I still thought it was a robbery, it turned out to be you, Xia boy, it's okay to take a sword and hang around." With that, he scooped up Xia Luo.

Lu An looked at this scene, but he didn't hold back, covered his stomach, hammered the table and laughed.

Xia Luo, who was scooped up, hasn't reacted yet, and his brain is still a little confused, no matter how hard he relieves it, it is still a punch from the grandmaster, and he took a solid punch, and he didn't faint directly, which is very good.

Xia Luo slowed down for a long time, and finally came to his senses, and asked blankly, "Did something just happen?" I feel a little pain in my head, a little dizzy. ”

Understood and replied directly: "You just fell, I helped you up, you may have fallen your head, so you are a little dizzy." ”

After speaking, he kept looking at Lu An, who was still smiling there.

Lu An immediately nodded cooperatively.

Charlotte rubbed his head in confusion.

"Why did you bring a sword with you today?" asked with a clear cough.

At the mention of the sword, Xia Luo suddenly became excited again, and said: "Uncle, look at it, this is my sword, and I am also a person with a sword, and I plan to go to the rivers and lakes in a few days." ”

"Oh. Understood, elongated the voice for a moment, and snatched it from Charlo's hand.

First touched the sword, looked at the appearance, then checked it slightly, and finally flicked it with his fingers, listened to the sound of the sword, and then stuffed it back to Xia Luo.

"Uncle, what do you think?" asked Charlotte cautiously.

"What do you think?" asked him rhetorically.

"I think this sword is a perfect match for me, and I just can't put it down. Charlo replied.

"It's enough for you, but the sword body is a little rough, not polished enough, and this appearance is also a little ugly, and the sword is heavily distributed, top-heavy, the voice, so-so, the timbre is quite a lot, and you can almost play the piano." He said clearly and approvingly.

Hearing this, Xia Luo was immediately deflated.

Seeing Xia Luo's expression, Lu An came over and patted Xia Luo's shoulder and said, "Although it is really bad, it is at least a sword, it can cut people, anyway, you got such a sword there?"

"He hit it himself. Suddenly, an old voice came in from outside, and then an old man walked in.

"Old man Yao, why do you have time to come to me?" said with a slanted glance.

"Uncle Yao. Lu An greeted.

When Old Man Yao heard the words that understood this yin and yang weirdness, he ignored it, and said to Lu An with a smile: "Xiao An, I haven't come to play for a long time, come to me to play more when you have time, don't stay with this old bachelor all day long." ”

When I heard this, I immediately became angry, "I'm an old bachelor? Isn't you the same? I shrink into my own shop every day, like an old turtle." ”

"My old turtle, you dead old man, then you have the ability not to stay here, you go out?" said Old Man Yao not to be outdone.

Lu An and Xia Luo glanced at each other, Lu An shook his head, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "It's started again, it's troublesome." ”

Xia Luo was snickering, secretly cheering for Ming, and muttered in a low voice: "Come on, Uncle Ming, if you fight, help me beat him." ”

Although Xia Luo's voice was very small, as soon as he finished muttering, Old Man Yao directly smashed his fist on Xia Luo's head, and Xia Luo was directly beaten to the ground.

scolded: "Stinky boy, you have a lot of things, and your skin is itchy again?"

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sneer, "This punch will hurt when you look at it, a good Xia boy will be beaten to death by you sooner or later, Old Man Yao, you are really not a good person." ”

"My disciple, you also want to take care of it, so are you too lenient?" Old Man Yao shouted angrily.

"I can't control it, I can't control it, just don't die in my shop, you'll be bad enough, and it would be too bad luck to die another one, tsk. "I understood it, and I smacked my mouth.

"If it weren't for this stinky boy who likes to come to you, you think I'd come to you? And I won't beat my precious apprentice to death, he's a genius, but he's the one who will inherit my mantle. Old man Yao said proudly.

"Genius? is the genius who made the kind of sword in his hand? Then Lu An of my family is a genius who is unparalleled in the world, and he will definitely become a master master in the future." Clearly pointed at the sword in Xia Luo's hand and sneered.

"Hmph, you're not a good person, but you have sharp teeth. Old man Yao was speechless.

Lu An watched the two old men scold each other from the sidelines, and he didn't know what grievances he had before the two of them, and when they met, they scolded each other, and they would not stop if they were speechless, but they basically understood that they won.

However, although Old Man Yao's mouth is not so neat, but his name as a master craftsman is ranked first in the entire Craftsman City, and this person's temper is like a hammer, hard and strong, if it weren't for his own strength being strong enough, he would have been killed in this Craftsman City a long time ago, and he is also an old man with a very deep background, it is said that he used to be the president of the Craftsman City Craftsman Union, and his status is very high, and he retired when he was old.

What Lu An didn't expect now was that Old Man Yao actually said that Xia Luo was a genius, which was a bit incredible, the usual Xia Luo looked like a hanger, martial arts, no text, and now he actually let the big man of the Craftsman City say that he is a genius, if it comes out, then Xia Luo's name is also the number one person in this Craftsman City, and his reputation is rising, putting aside the things he did before.

I understand that when I heard what Old Man Yao said, although I said a word in my mouth, I also chuckled in my heart, according to Old Man Yao's stinky temper in this song, he said one thing or another, and almost never praised people, at this moment he actually boasted about Haikou in front of him, and said the word genius, which really made me believe it a little, and it seems that I will look at this Xia boy differently in the future.

In the moment when he and Lu An were secretly shocked in their hearts, Old Man Yao mentioned Xia Luo, who had already fainted, and said: "This kid has been with me for several years, if he wasn't talented, I would have let him stay with me?" I have been boiling him for two years, and I have only accepted him as an apprentice recently, but I didn't expect that this stinky boy would still disagree, in this matter, I would like to thank Xiao An for helping me persuade him, otherwise let this kid run away." ”

Lu An smiled slightly, "I just said a few words to him casually." ”

"Anyway, my old Yao owes you a favor, if there is anything you want me to help with in the future, just ask, it's settled. Old man Yao said bluntly.

Old man Yao continued: "I always thought that this kid was a little talented, is a manufacturable material, after learning from me for a few days, a few days ago let him try casting by himself, the result scared me, this kid is extremely skilled in the control of flames, but he has never been in contact with it before, this kid is simply a natural fire body, the affinity for flames simply surpasses me, and he is a natural swordsmith, so I will feel that let him inherit my mantle." ”

Knowing that when he heard this, he chuckled in his heart again, but he still spoke: "Count yourself lucky and pick up the treasure, but the innate fire body is just like that, in terms of talent, it is still not as powerful as my Lu An, you can watch it in a few years." ”

When Lu An heard this, he was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't blow it like this, he was born with a fire body! He is simply a person who was born to forge a sword, and he knows that in the process of casting a sword, the most important thing is the control of fire, and under the same material, the proficiency of fire control almost determines the strength of the forged weapon.

Lu An hurriedly said: "Uncle Yao, don't listen to my master's nonsense, Xia Luo's talent in this area is stronger than mine." ”

"Master, hey, I have to congratulate Old Man Ming, I am glad to accept such a good apprentice from you. Old man Yao said with a smile.

Knowing this, he immediately smiled, "That's not it, Lu An is my most proud disciple, there is no one, look at it in the future, what is born with a fire body, it is all scum." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned into Lu An's ear and whispered, "The effect of that thing is much greater than that of the innate fire body." ”

When Old Man Yao saw this scene, he didn't know what he muttered to Lu An, and then said, "The Forge Master Competition in two months will be Xia Luo's debut, you have to go and cheer for him." ”

Knowing that his eyes rolled, "That's for sure, our family Lu An will also participate, let's both go and cheer for these two kids." ”

"Oh, that's good, I'll arrange it, and let these two boys compete when the time comes, hahaha. After saying that, he took Xia Luo out of the door.

Lu An looked helpless, two months later, the forging master competition? Am I still alive at that time? Alas!

clearly saw Lu An's melancholy face, and comforted: "Relax, you won't die so easily, what are you worried about, I still have this confidence in you." ”

Lu An could only nod.

He understood and continued: "Looking at Old Man Yao's nervousness, I feel uncomfortable, I really want to beat him up, since he has so much confidence in Xia Xiaozi, then you have to fight hard, not fight for steamed buns." ”

Lu An could only reply weakly: "Okay, good, fight for a steamed bun." ”

"Don't be so unconfident, no matter how talented Xia Xiaozi is, but he has only studied for two or three months, you have been practicing for almost a year, when the time comes, as long as you learn the Five Elements Duel, then in the younger generation, no one will be your opponent in terms of forging, and I am still very confident in this." He said clearly and confidently.

Hearing this, Lu An could only hope that this was the case, otherwise at that time, the cowhide that was blown out would be broken, although he didn't say it himself, but it was a bit hard for him to have such a big-mouthed master, and his face was a little unsightly.

Immediately, Lu An still honestly began his own cultivation.

Since he showed Lu An the whole process of condensation two days ago, and understood that a trace of the seed of the power of the five elements had been introduced into Lu An's body, now he finally has eyebrows, not to mention the rapid progress, but it can be regarded as an enlightenment.

Lu An can already condense a thin layer of mist on the palm of his hand, it is really very thin and thin, and it is almost impossible to observe with the naked eye, but Lu An himself can feel it, this question Lu An also asked clearly, he said that this is related to his own strength, although he is a martial arts master, but he has not put much effort into the five elements, even if he can practice to the first layer, if it is not for this matter of the sect's treasure, the master forced him to practice, maybe he will not even learn the first layer at all, and go to the dark on the road of martial arts in one breath.

Hearing this, Lu An's face darkened, and he had to say that he understood that he was really an outlier, and he didn't even want to practice the treasure of the sect, but he liked to take the path of pure martial arts.

After Lu An sighed, he was not happy to understand, and then gave Sheng Yi a general idea of the poor history of his sect, how poor he was at that time, the sect was already small, and his master almost went bankrupt in order to cultivate the Five Elements Technique, and he was able to cultivate to the third level, and every time he refined the Five Elements were some ordinary goods, it was several levels worse than the gold essence for Lu An, but it still consumed a lot of resources.

Understand that after seeing this situation, where would he be willing to continue to practice the Five Elements Technique, although hobbies are one thing, but it is really difficult for a penny to defeat a hero, and his master is unwilling to sell the things left by his ancestors, so he can only stare dryly.

But fortunately, I understand that I have taken the road of martial arts, although I bumped and bumped all the way, and I got to the grandmaster, this family background gradually thickened, so that I could make a bloody investment on Lu An, and spent such a big price to get the legendary gold essence for Lu An, and planned to use the gold essence as the first link of Lu An's five elements formula, and even boasted of Haikou, and the rest of the wood, water, earth and fire, must use the same grade of the five elements as the gold essence.

Lu An suddenly felt that this exercise was really a bit costly, and understood that the family wealth accumulated over his life could only be exchanged for one, and if he relied on himself, he didn't know that he would not be able to get it until the Year of the Monkey.

However, although this difficulty is great, the benefits obtained after that are also huge, the level realm of the Five Elements Decision itself is similar to the realm of the true yuan of cultivation, which can be regarded as an alternative martial arts double cultivation, but the most important thing is that it can be integrated and superimposed with the internal force of the martial arts, which means that there will be a huge improvement in strength after cultivation, and the ordinary martial arts dual cultivation is a separate and different way, although the strength will also be enhanced, but the strength of the two is still very large.

After Lu An understood the introduction, he also had a simple understanding of the strength and weakness of the Five Elements Formula, if he could carry this time, then the future would be extraordinary, and he even had a little expectation.

Then you should retreat honestly, if the condensation is not successful, then you will not come out.

After hearing this, he laughed a few times, then took out a few small flags from the size of the object, planted them around Lu An's room, and then took out a large bag of food and threw it to Lu An, saying: "Don't worry, no one will come to disturb you, it has been prepared for you a long time ago, enough for you to eat for a month." After speaking, he threw Lu An a gold nugget of dozens of catties, and added, "All of it will be condensed into pure gold within a month, otherwise you won't have to come out, if you come out, you won't have the strength to absorb that thing, so you can only wait for death." ”

Lu An picked up the food and gold nuggets, went straight into the room without looking back, and began his first retreat in his life, and possibly the last.

Since Lu An started his retreat, he understood that he had closed the blacksmith shop directly, hung a sign, and did not disturb when he traveled far away, and he pulled a chair to sit outside Lu An's room every day, closed his eyes and recuperated his mind, basked in the sun, and protected Lu An.

After Lu An entered the room, he found something strange, it was not his original room at all, he actually came to a new place, a strange cave, the place is not big, but there is everything in it, a stone bed, a stone table, a stone bench, a stove, a pool of spring water, and then there is a flower garden, exuding a tranquil smell, several of the flowers are crystal clear, at first glance it is not a mortal house, it seems that eating and drinking Lazar can be solved here, Lu An couldn't help but sigh: " The world is really wonderful, it always gives people a bright spot, so let's get started. ”
