Chapter 300: Qualitative Change of Pot-Suppression Method
At this moment, the blue sky, with no clouds in sight, seemed extremely empty.
Looking up, a few eagles flew across the sky, from near to far, and then turned into rows of small black dots in the far distance of the sky.
Zhou An and Eunuch Wei stopped in mid-air, and no one spoke.
Zhou An didn't know what Eunuch Wei was thinking, nor how to speak at this moment, because after he asked that question, he knew that sometimes, the decision needed to be made by Eunuch Wei himself.
What he meant just now was that the Great Chu and Great Yue sent troops to the Barbarian Kingdom, which was actually just a cover. The most important thing was to turn around and deal with the Great Qi Kingdom and completely remove this real cancer.
If it were in the past, Zhou An would think it was nothing, just remove it.
War is inevitable.
But it's different now. After learning that Eunuch Wei and Emperor Feng Teng's sister had a relationship when they were young, Zhou An felt that this matter seemed a bit difficult for Eunuch Wei.
He wanted to ask, and he wanted to ask clearly.
The reason is simple. Eunuch Wei is equally important to him.
When he was just a small figure from Anding County, Eunuch Wei had high hopes for him and was even willing to be his background.
Zhou An had already regarded such an old man as his own relative.
He didn't want Eunuch Wei to have any difficulties, so he asked.
Eunuch Wei was silent, but the silence was not long.
When Eunuch Wei turned around, Zhou An could feel that there was a trace of calmness in Eunuch Wei's eyes, as if he was relieved and calm.
"There is only one thing we pursue in this life."
Eunuch Wei put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "That is peace in the world, the people are well-fed and well-clothed, everything is peaceful, and there is no more war."
"What we pursue is also what all like-minded people in the Great Chu State pursue."
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, State Master, including the General Manager, our goals are the same. We can give up everything for this goal. Compared with the stability of the people, what is our love?"
Zhou An heard this and then sighed.
He knew that Eunuch Wei had his own ideals and ambitions, and he also knew the principles implemented by the Great Chu State, and he knew that people of their generation put the people first.
If not, they would not have risen up in rebellion and overthrown the previous dynasty.
This kind of thing cannot be thought about or said, because Eunuch Wei naturally has a ruler in his heart.
"Okay, kid, I know what you are worried about, but there is no need."
Eunuch Wei shook his head and said, "I have lived for so long and seen a lot of things. Now I have only two goals."
"One is to see that the people of the Great Chu Kingdom will no longer be hungry and suffer, and will no longer be troubled by strange things. The second is to see you reach the top. If I still have this opportunity, when you reach the top, even if I die of old age, I will smile."
Zhou An immediately shook his head: "Eunuch Wei lives a hundred years, how can he die?"
Eunuch Wei laughed: "Let's go, follow me back to the Great Chu Kingdom, and when you get there, you can continue what you want to do."
Zhou An nodded.
The two stopped talking and turned to continue heading towards the Great Chu Kingdom.
...
On the way back, everything was naturally smooth.
With the leadership of Eunuch Wei, no one dared to come out to cause trouble. When Zhou An returned to the Great Chu Kingdom, he went to the capital of the Great Chu Kingdom with Eunuch Wei.
On the way back, Zhou An also got the inner elixir because he passed through the Great Yue Kingdom.
And this trip was to visit the capital of the Great Chu Kingdom.
The process of getting the inner elixir was uneventful. After Zhou An got the inner elixir, he said goodbye to Eunuch Wei and went to Huaixijing alone.
It had been a long time since he went back. As the chief of Huaixijing, Zhou An naturally had to go there to take charge.
Because he returned to the Great Chu Kingdom, Zhou An's crisis was no longer there.
After all, no one dared to touch Zhou An in the Great Chu Kingdom.
It didn't take much time to rush from the capital to Huaixijing, and Zhou An was not in a hurry during the journey.
Every day, when he was on the road, he would first double the proficiency of the spiritual space before continuing on the road.
When he arrived at Huaixijing, he found that He Sheng and others were already waiting patiently at the gate of Zhenguisi.
The news of his return had naturally spread throughout the world of Chu. Now, Zhou An has been regarded as a god-like figure in the world of Chu. This is not to say that Zhou An has been equal to the eunuch Wei and others, but because Zhou An's experience is too legendary.
Coupled with the ghost hunting activities, Zhou An's qualifications have been further improved. It can be said that now not only the world of Chu, but also the Great Yue and the Great Qi have known Zhou An.
"Meet Mr. Zhou."
At the door of the Suppressing Ghost Division, He Sheng, with a large group of members, bowed to Zhou An and said.
"Mr. Zhou, this trip has made a name for the world, which is a cause for celebration!"
As He Sheng, who is the least good at flattering and the most fond of flattering, his flattery is quite stiff, but fortunately Zhou An also eats this.
"Okay, go and do your own things."
The Suppressing Ghost Division naturally has important matters to deal with, and being able to come to greet this trip has freed up a lot of time.
Zhou An did not let them stay any longer. With Zhou An's approval, the members of the Zhen Gui Division dispersed one after another.
Zhou An did not leave, but went to his room. After sitting down, he waited for He Sheng to report the situation.
After being away for so long, Huaixijing has changed a lot.
Zhou An must first understand the situation in Huaixijing.
It must be said that He Sheng is a very talented person. Although his strength is not worth mentioning in front of Zhou An, that is only in front of Zhou An.
When Zhou An left Huaixijing, He Sheng handled everything here in an orderly manner.
"Mr. Zhou, this is the various things that happened in the Huaixijing Zhenguisi after you left. Please take a look."
A thick memorial was placed on the table.
After He Sheng finished all this, he let his hands hang aside.
Zhou An slowly flipped through it.
At their level, the speed of flipping through some things is naturally very fast.
After about a cup of tea, this thick memorial was read by Zhou An.
Zhou An put down the table, nodded and said: "You did a good job. It records every detail of the actions of the members of the Suppression Department."
During the time he was away, some strange events occurred, but they were all settled with ease.
It can be said that there were some minor incidents, but no major storms.
He Sheng nodded, with a humble look: "It is only under the leadership of Mr. Zhou that we can do this."
Zhou An said lightly: "In this case, then continue. I came here just to see how you handle it. Now it seems that the results are remarkable."
As he spoke, Zhou An stood up.
He planned to go back, and after returning, he would improve his skill proficiency as soon as possible.
The matter of sending troops to the Barbarian Kingdom is already within reach, and it is most important to upgrade most skills to level nine as soon as possible.
Even if he seizes the time, he may be able to reach the full saint realm when sending troops to the Barbarian Kingdom.
After returning home, the house was still clean. During the time when he was away, the people of Hengtong Chamber of Commerce were very discerning and sent people to clean up every day to ensure that the house was absolutely clean.
In the corner, there were weapons and important items piled up, and no one dared to touch them.
Those things were left by the younger generation who had challenged Zhou An. People in the world called them the hero corners.
Zhou An did not look at them, and did not even think of taking a glance. He took Heiyu and went to the bedroom alone.
After simply arranging a formation, he began to work on his proficiency.
Heiyu sat in the iron pot with an ignorant and excited expression.
The proficiency was rising madly in Zhou An's crazy work.
Next, everything was safe and smooth.
Time passed slowly.
Every day, Zhou An maintained the corresponding rules.
He worked on his proficiency, went to the spiritual space, went to eat, and continued to work on his proficiency.
Every day when he had nothing to do, he took Heiyu around.
The days passed one by one, and his proficiency finally reached a limit.
In front of Zhou An, a puff of smoke appeared, and then slowly turned into words.
[Pot Zhen Fa lv.8 (Strength +12, Destruction +12, Seal +12): 90000/140000]
[Storage proficiency: 100000/100000]
Pot Zhen Fa is only 50,000 away from reaching level nine, but the storage proficiency has reached the maximum level first.
So now, Zhou An needs to improve the proficiency of another skill.
Otherwise, his storage proficiency will overflow, which will be a big loss.
After a little thought, Zhou An finally made a decision.
He looked at the self-casting in front of him, and without hesitation, he used all the storage proficiency on it.
His current attack is already sufficient, but his defense is a little weak.
For example, in the few battles not long ago, the golden light of the self-casting was a little bit unbearable, especially in the battle with the inner demon, the self-casting was like paper, so this skill must be strengthened.
Although 10,000 points are not enough to upgrade Zhujishen to the next level, it is enough for Zhou An.
Just add it once more to reach it.
As for why he didn't directly increase the pot-suppression method to qualitative change, it was because the proficiency was added at one time. If it was added, the pot-suppression method would have a part of the proficiency, and his plan to make all skills level nine would fail, which was not cost-effective.
Zhou An knew very well what he needed, so it was just right to add it to the next skill.
Soon, the proficiency disappeared quickly, and instead, the proficiency of Zhujishen changed.
[Zhujishen lv. 7 (hardness +10, fusion +10, defense +10): 100000/120000]
After the stored proficiency was used up, there was only 20,000 points away from the next level.
Zhou An thought, or upgrade the pot-suppression method to qualitative change first, anyway, it was just this little bit away.
Thinking of this, he was ready to continue.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
With Zhou An's confused eyes, he could easily find out who was outside the door.
At this time, at the door, He Sheng was holding a secret letter and waiting patiently.
He didn't dare to go in, because Zhou An was his boss, and the necessary etiquette was still needed.
Zhou An thought about it, then brought Hei Yu to the door and opened it.
Outside the door, He Sheng was standing awkwardly. When Zhou An opened the door, he was obviously relieved.
As soon as he opened it, He Sheng handed over the letter in his hand and briefly explained the reason.
"Sir Zhou, this is a secret letter from the capital. It is said that you must come and open it in person." He Sheng said.
Zhou An nodded, took the secret letter, talked to He Sheng for a few words, and let He Sheng leave.
He closed the door, returned to the room, and opened the secret letter in his hand.
The letter from the capital must be important. Although he couldn't guess what it was, everything became clear after reading it.
When Zhou An opened the secret letter, the content of the secret letter soon jumped out on the paper.
"So that's it."
After Zhou An read all the contents above, he finally knew what was going on.
"One month." Zhou An looked at the content above and shook his head: "It seems that there is not much time left for the Great Qi Kingdom."
The letter briefly explained one thing, that is, one month later, it would be the time for the Great Yue Kingdom to attack the Barbarian Kingdom.
When that time comes, it will be the time for the plan to unfold.
The reason for this letter is, first, to tell Zhou An a specific time, if Zhou An has something to do, it is better to finish it during this period of time and fully deal with the next chaos in the world.
The second is to tell him that Yuhang and Yanshuang have both reached the full saint realm.
This is related to their complete talents.
As for the others, this letter did not mention it.
In this regard, Zhou An said that he was finally relieved.
He and Yuhang, the two brothers, came out of Anding County together, and they were doing well.
Now Yuhang finally has the capital to stand on.
For Zhou An, it is also more reassuring.
As for Ye Shuang's arrival at the full saint mirror, Zhou An is also happy for Ye Shuang.
If they reach the full saint realm, then both of them can be regarded as big bosses in this world.
Although their full saint realm is not worth mentioning in Zhou An's hands, it is an unattainable existence for others.
After reading the letter, Zhou An casually found a brazier, burned the letter, and continued to use the pot-suppression method raised by black jade.
Everyone has reached the full saint realm, but he is still in the spiritual realm, which always feels a little inappropriate.
So in this month, Zhou An plans to upgrade to the full saint realm at the fastest speed.
Only when he reaches the full saint realm can he really challenge the heavenly realm.
Although he can kill people in the absolute enlightenment realm now, just like no one will think that they have too much money, no one will think that their strength is low.
Soon, the voice of black jade sounded again in the room.
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, many days have passed, and during this time, Zhou An still follows the previous rules and keeps working on his proficiency.
The proficiency of the pot-suppression method has finally achieved a qualitative change after a long period of crazy work.
Familiar smoke appeared in front of him, and as the smoke spread, it finally turned into a line of text and appeared in front of Zhou An.
[Please choose a direction]
[World in the Pot: Strength +12, Destruction +12, Seal +12, Refining +24]
[World in the Pot: Destruction +12, Balance +12, Simulation +12, Destruction +24]
Looking at the two choices in front of him, Zhou An didn't need to think at all, and directly chose the first one.
After he made his choice, the smoke in front of him gradually disappeared, and finally turned into a line of information, becoming the latest skill.
[World in the Pot lv.9: (Strength +24, Destruction +24, Seal +24, Refining +24]
[Storage proficiency: 15000/100000]
This time, not only did the World in the Pot undergo a qualitative change, but the storage proficiency also reached a new height.
Another 15,000 points of proficiency were gained, and it was not far from the next use.
Of course, now is not the time to think about these things.
After the smoke in front of him appeared for a while, it quickly turned into lines of information and finally passed into Zhou An's mind.
Zhou An could feel that with the qualitative change of the World in the Pot, his soul grew stronger again.
It was another big step away from the full saint realm.
And as his strength grew, he also thoroughly understood the role of the ability of refining.
This attribute actually corresponds to the attribute of sealing.
The World in the Pot is not only It has destruction, attack power, and can even seal people in an iron pot.
But in the past, a seal can only be a seal forever.
After being sealed inside, you can only use the destructive attribute to destroy the opponent, but destruction is far from enough.
Refining is different, it is paired with the seal.
As long as it is within this range, it can not only destroy the enemy sealed inside, but also refine the enemy from the inside.
It can be said that the horror of this skill is improved from all aspects.
For Zhou An, this skill once again strengthens his attack power.
"In this way, I can liver the next skill."
In front of Zhou An, smoke emerged, and finally gathered into a brand new proficiency panel, showing in front of him.
[Armor-breaking Evil Sword lv.9 (Speed +24, Accuracy +24, Sharpness +24, Defense Breaking +24): 1/160000]
[World in the Pot lv.9 (Strength +24, Destruction +24, Seal +24, Refining +24): 1/160000]
[Flying Dragon Body Skill lv.7 (Speed +10, Dodge +10, Fly +10): 1/120000]
[Forge Yourself lv. 7 (Hardness +10, Fusion +10, Defense +10): 100000/120000]
[Reading Thousands of Volumes lv.7 (Spirit +10, Understanding +10, Rebound +10): 1/120000]
[Making Trouble lv.7 (Water +10, Water Control +10, Treatment +10): 1/120000]
[Healing and Poisoning Saint lv.9: (Healing +24, Toxicity +24, Poison Penetration +24, Devouring +24): 1/160000]
[Eye of Chaos lv.9 (Detection +24, Illusion Breaking +24, Range +24, Chaos +24): 1 /160000]
[Holy Spirit Demon Body lv.9 (Purification +24, Dispel +24, Power +24, Substitute Death +24) 1/160000]
[Heavenly Calculation lv.9 (Accuracy +24, Deduction +24, Formation +24, Trend +24): 50000/160000]
[Trick Fishing lv.5 (Harvest +4, Unknown +4): 1/80000]
[Storage Proficiency: 15000/100000]
He has already figured out the next skill and plans to work on the Self-Forging. After all, the Self-Forging will soon reach the next level.
After the Self-Forging is upgraded to the ninth level, his storage proficiency can be used once and added to other skills. This is a real win-win situation.
However, this Self-Forging also needs to be worked on in another way.
This gave Zhou An a headache.
Zhou An watched the smoke in front of him slowly dissipate. He was just about to think about how he was going to grind, but Heiyu next to him couldn't sit still.
Zhou An was slightly stunned, and then he saw Heiyu frowning and sitting next to him.
Recently, Heiyu has always been heartless. Although he accompanies Zhou An to grind proficiency every day, he also maintains a confused look every day.
But today, especially now, Heiyu's frowning look immediately attracted Zhou An's attention.
Zhou An did not grind proficiency anymore, but came to Heiyu, touched Heiyu's head, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Heiyu raised his head blankly, his frowned brows slowly stretched out, and then said stupidly, "The last skill is out."
Zhou An was slightly stunned, and then reacted, with a look of joy on his face: "Great! Have you now comprehended all the eight unique skills?"
Heiyu had already comprehended seven of the eight unique skills, and now adding one more, his strength must have greatly improved.
Hearing this, Hei Yu nodded, and then circulated the Qi in her body.
The next moment, there was an extremely strong momentum flowing on Hei Yu's body.
The light of the eight unique skills kept flashing on Hei Yu's body.
At this moment, Hei Yu looked like she was surrounded by eight powerful lights, and she was the leader of these eight lights, occupying the momentum of dominating everything, making people unconsciously want to look away.
Zhou An carefully sensed for a moment and raised his eyebrows: "It shouldn't be that you have learned eight unique skills before you reach the realm of absolute enlightenment."
According to his understanding, the founder of the eight unique skills, after learning the eight unique skills, was almost omnipotent in the world.
It can be said that he was the strongest existence at that time.
If it weren't for that incident later, it would probably be even stronger.
And Hei Yu has now comprehended eight unique skills, it is impossible for her to only be in the realm of absolute enlightenment.
Heiyu seemed to see Zhou An's thoughts, so he pulled Zhou An's hand and said softly: "The more you merge, the stronger you will be. If you merge once, you will become stronger. If you merge half, you will ascend to heaven."
Fusion half means ascending to heaven?
When Zhou An heard this, he finally knew where he was wrong.
In other words, if Heiyu wants to reach the next level, he must merge the eight unique skills.
And fusion does not mean fusion of all, there is a slow progress.
The founder of the eight unique skills at the beginning was able to achieve such strength, which must be part of the fusion, but not all of them.
In other words, Heiyu can now start to merge the eight unique skills.
Thinking of this, Zhou An asked: "Is it dangerous to merge now?"
Although there is the Qi given by Old Yang, and the trace of resentment with the eight unique skills extracted from himself, Zhou An still has to consider safety.
Heiyu scratched his head and then fell into thinking.
This is rare for Zhou An. Seeing Heiyu thinking, he is also waiting patiently.
After Heiyu thought for a while, he gave the answer.
"It should be the safest to go to the Guijihui."
