Still not understanding why he has become like this, Li Qiang is in the guest room of Jinjiang Hotel, looking at the person in the mirror, touching his face, thinking: "No one will recognize me now, I never thought I could become so good-looking. Alas, what's the use of becoming good-looking, I have no home, no friends, no company, I really have nothing now."
Li Qiang is now 180 cm tall, with broad shoulders and thin waist, and his skin is as white and tender as a baby, with a faint blush flowing in his skin. He feels that his muscles contain explosive power, his slender eyes emit a terrifying light, and the lines on his face are as strong and powerful as if cut by a knife and an axe. He can't be said to be handsome, but he is full of masculinity, and there is no trace of Li Qiang's original appearance.
What makes Li Qiang feel most incredible is that his image in the mirror is actually like a big boy of 18 or 19 years old, only his eyes still retain the original sense of maturity.
Fu Shan told Li Qiang that he would leave the earth in 20 days, and he had to go to work during this period, and he would come to pick him up then.
Li Qiang was very satisfied with his current image and felt very happy. Now he could start all over again.
After taking a shower and putting on his clothes, Li Qiang left the hotel.
The first thing Li Qiang did was to rent a room in a warehouse. He thought that since he was leaving the earth, he might not be able to come back in a short time, so he might as well buy more things in the next few days, which might be useful in the future. Besides, if the cash in the bracelet is not used, it will just be a pile of waste paper after leaving the earth.
"Hello, what good wine do you have?" Li Qiang asked the beautiful clerk with a smile in a tobacco and alcohol store.
The clerk, who was always eloquent, looked up and saw Li Qiang, but she was speechless. Her heart was like a deer pounding, and a blush climbed up her face. She thought: "Handsome! This boy is so handsome! My boyfriend can't compare with him."
"Hehe." The two equally young female clerks at the counter opposite were whispering in their ears, biting their ears and making ambiguous laughter from time to time.
"Hello... Hello, what did you say... Oh, sorry, what do you want to buy?" The pretty female clerk blushed even more.
"Haha," Li Qiang smiled gently. He liked the feeling now and said, "I want to buy some good wine. Can you introduce it to me?"
What happened next stunned the female clerk. This unbelievably handsome boy bought almost all the famous brand wines in the store in one breath. After putting down several thick stacks of banknotes, he ordered the hired workers to transport them away, then waved goodbye to her in a chic manner and walked towards the next shopping mall.
Until a long time later, this pretty female clerk still remembered the handsome and rich boy, fantasizing how nice it would be if he was my boyfriend.
The shopping action continued until the evening, and Li Qiang finally stopped the crazy big purchase. First, he returned to the rented warehouse and put all the things into the storage bracelet. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when he returned to the hotel.
"I have to buy more tomorrow." Li Qiang, sitting on the bed, couldn't fall asleep at all. The pain in his heart seemed to be slightly calmed down by crazy shopping. The poverty in his childhood and the struggle in the business world later flashed in his mind like a movie, and Li Qiang couldn't sleep all night.
He went on a super crazy shopping spree for 19 consecutive days until he spent almost all the cash in the bracelet. Born a businessman, Li Qiang habitually estimated the expenses this time and was surprised to find that in 19 days, he spent more than 9 million yuan, equivalent to more than 1 million US dollars. The space in the bracelet was half full. From clothes to shoes, books to paper, rice to salt, as long as he could see everything in the market, he bought it, and also bought a lot of medicines and some small medical equipment.
On the afternoon of the 20th day, Fu Shan appeared in front of Li Qiang on time.
Mars is a close neighbor of our Earth. Its diameter is 4,200 miles, about half of the Earth, and its mass is 0.11 times that of the Earth. Mars is covered with a not-too-thick atmosphere. Mars is a mysterious "red star".
There are three completely different terrains on Mars.
The first is the crater, which is a lunar-like terrain.
The second is the chaotic terrain, which is formed by a large area of subsidence, with the widest part of the subsidence area reaching sixty miles.
The third terrain on the surface of Mars is an ordinary plain, with no hills, ridges or craters. It seems to be a vast wilderness paved with sand or dust.
Fu Shan and Li Qiang are standing in the second terrain. A huge subsidence area.
Since the earth has almost been forgotten by the cultivation world, the teleportation array on the earth was abandoned and disappeared a hundred years ago. Only people like Fu Shan who came from the earth would not hesitate to spend a lot of energy fairy stones to return to their hometown. If you are not a master of cultivation, you can't go back even if you want to.
Fu Shan sat cross-legged on the ground. The teleportation from the earth to Mars cost him five top-level Bichao stones and too much of his own energy. He waved his hand to raise the "Five-Colored Flame Cover" to protect the two people first, and then immediately began to meditate, with an energy stone in each hand, and began to recover attentively.
Li Qiang is still confused. He can't believe that it is possible to run from Earth to Mars by human power. It's too incredible to think about it. He was forced to leave Earth and would never see his family and friends again. Thinking of this, the loss in his heart surged up.
In any case, he must return to Earth after he succeeds in cultivation. After making up his mind, his mood calmed down a lot. Li Qiang then carefully observed the surroundings.
The dark red cliffs towering into the sky, the sky as silent as death, the terrifying silence around, and the colorful flowing semicircle covering him and Fu Shan like a giant tent. Although he didn't know what this was, Li Qiang knew that this treasure must have a protective effect.
Li Qiang found a wonderful thing in his boredom. He could not breathe without any discomfort. Li Qiang looked at Fu Shan who was sitting cross-legged. Knowing that he would not wake up for a while, he also sat cross-legged beside him, thinking in his heart that since being transformed by the "Purple Flame Heart", he didn't know what changes had taken place in his body. It was just the right time to try it.
After sitting down and crossing his legs, Li Qiang was dumbfounded. He had no idea where to start. "Well, by the way, I've read martial arts novels before, and it seems that you need to sink your qi into your dantian or something. Let's give it a try."
"Eh, I don't feel anything. Grandpa's troubles! I don't believe I can't do it!" Li Qiang was ruthless.
He held his breath, closed his eyes and calmed down. After a long, long time, just when Li Qiang was about to despair, "boom", Li Qiang felt like his body was blown up. Although he closed his eyes, he clearly saw a ball of purple flames in his body expanding. Li Qiang understood that this was the "Purple Flame Heart" moving.
This movement was extraordinary, like throwing a huge rock into the water, and the ripples spread out. Now the "Purple Flame Heart" is like the surface of the water. Li Qiang's breath holding and calming down is like a huge rock hitting the water, and the huge energy of the "Purple Flame Heart" has been activated.
A dazzling purple light began to emanate from Li Qiang's body. The light was so bright that the surrounding scenery lit up.
Li Qiang knows his own suffering. As soon as the "Purple Flame Heart" was activated, he regretted it because he had no idea what to do next. He thought: "This is really a trouble for my grandfather. I don't know when Brother Fu will wake up. What should I do?"
The energy of the "Purple Flame Heart" expanded more and more. Li Qiang could no longer sit still. He jumped out of the ground like a cannonball out of a box, piercing through the protective "Five-Colored Flame Cover" and smashing into the cliff not far away. Looking at the cliff coming towards him, Li Qiang screamed in horror: "Wow... The mountain is falling! Help me..."
"Bang... Boom..."
He was right. A large piece of the cliff was knocked down, and huge rocks fell from the cliff. In the deafening roar, mixed with countless dust, they rushed towards the "Five-Colored Flame Cover" below.
Li Qiang, who was deeply embedded in the cliff, was so frightened that his soul flew away. He shouted wildly: "Brother Fu, hide quickly... Hey, how am I still alive?" He watched the stones hit the "Five-Colored Flame Cover". The colorful light suddenly rotated rapidly, and the noisy and flying dust could not cover the dazzling light.
Gradually, everything calmed down. Li Qiang found that the falling stones actually surrounded the "Five-Colored Flame Cover" neatly and could not hit it at all.
"Baby, it's really a good baby, my God... How can I get down from such a high place!" Li Qiang was embedded in the cliff more than 70 meters above the ground, with purple light all over his body. From a distance, he looked like a lamp hanging on the cliff. Fortunately, this is on Mars. If it were on Earth, I don't know what kind of amazing effect it would have.
"Crack... crack... crack..." As the energy of the "Purple Flame Heart" continued to dissipate, the rocks around Li Qiang began to break into pieces. "It's not fun, it's not fun, help me... please don't break it, ah... wow... I don't want to play anymore... help me...!"
"Boom..." Earth-shaking!
Li Qiang slammed deeply into the ground for more than half a meter in a big letter shape, and climbed up with a bitter face for a long time, "Puh... Puh..." He spit out a mouthful of mud and sand, and punched the boulder next to him fiercely, venting his dissatisfaction.
"Boom..." With another loud noise, the boulder was like being detonated by explosives, and the broken stones flew everywhere. "Damn, what is this... this thing also explodes!"
Li Qiang stood on the ground stupidly: "Brother Fu, have you turned me into a monster? I'm about to be played to death." The situation of being blamed at any time scared Li Qiang so much that he dared not move anymore. He tiptoed to walk into the "Five-Colored Flame Cover".
"Well, why can't I get in? Brother Fu, open the door!" Li Qiang was blocked outside by the "Five-Color Flame Cover". No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take a step inside. Li Qiang lay on the "Five-Color Flame Cover" and looked pitifully at Fu Shan in the cover.
After an unknown amount of time, Fu Shan slowly opened his eyes and saw a naked guy, with a purple flame on his body, clinging to the cover, looking at him eagerly, with his thing hanging around. He just shouted, "Thank God! Brother Fu, open the door!"
Fu Shan was startled. Isn't this Li Qiang? He waved his hand to take back the "Five-Color Flame Cover". Li Qiang suddenly lost his support and fell to the ground with a "thump".
Seeing Li Qiang getting up from the ground in a mess, Fu Shan couldn't help laughing: "Haha...haha...brother...haha, although there are no outsiders here, there is no need to be so exaggerated...hahaha!"
As soon as he relaxed, Li Qiang immediately found that he was naked. It turned out that after the "Purple Flame Heart" was activated, all the clothes turned into ashes. Just after taking out a piece of clothing from the bracelet, before opening the package, "puff", the clothes turned into ashes again in the light green smoke. Li Qiang was dumbfounded.
Fu Shan held back his laughter and said: "Brother, the things brought from the earth are useless now. If the true fire emitted by your "Purple Flame Heart" cannot be controlled, it will burn everything."
Li Qiang crossed his hands to cover the thing in his lower body, and said with a sad face: "If I were not more confident in my current image, it would really make people unable to live. I can't face people like this."
The resentful look made Fu Shan laugh wildly again. He didn't expect that the younger brother he found this time would be such a funny guy.
"Don't worry, brother. I didn't expect your current situation. You have reached the 'Spiritual Silence Stage' in such a short time. I am really surprised. To reach this stage, ordinary cultivators must spend decades. Hey, you are really amazing. You have reached it in just a few days. I am really envious."
Li Qiang couldn't help but straighten his chest when he heard his praise. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. He hurriedly bent down and continued to cover his treasure. He shouted with embarrassment: "Brother, I don't care about spiritual silence. Think of a way quickly. Don't let me go naked."
"Haha, I originally planned to let you make armor and wear it before the spiritual silence stage, but now it's not possible. Forget it, I will give you a set of armor I have made, but you still have to learn to make armor yourself in the future."
Fu Shan approached Li Qiang, and a set of silver armor appeared in his hand. When he raised his hand, the silver armor was attached to Li Qiang automatically as if it was alive.
As soon as the armor was put on, the purple flame began to burn. The silver-white armor was shining brightly, and the purple flame rippled on the armor like flowing water. Slowly, the purple flame disappeared into the armor. The purple flame flowing in the silver-white armor was very beautiful.
After putting on the armor, Li Qiang didn't feel the weight, but just felt cool all over, very comfortable.
Li Qiang was not surprised, he got another treasure. After carefully observing the armor on his body, Li Qiang felt that there was nothing to say, it was simply an ultimate work of art. He pointed at the armor on his body and asked: "What is the name of this treasure armor? It's so beautiful, oh, no..." Li Qiang suddenly thought of a question: "How can I take it off?"
"Hehe", Fu Shan smiled a little naughty. "This armor is called 'Starry Sky'. It is a top-grade inner armor. Once worn, it will never fall off. However, when the Spiritual Silence period ends and the Nascent Soul is formed, the armor will be attached to the Nascent Soul and will not be visible from the outside. At that time, you will have to refine the second armor, which is the real battle armor that can be put on and taken off."
"Ah, I can't take it off. How can I... meet people? They won't let me wear a glittering armor on the street, right? I... I..." Li Qiang was a little anxious.
"Don't worry, it's a very common thing in our place. No one will laugh at me." Fu Shan comforted.
"I'll give you this 'Jade Pupil Slip'. You can learn everything through it. Just put a little of your energy into it. You can try it." Fu Shan took out a piece of black jade the size of a cigarette box and handed it to Li Qiang.
Li Qiang was shocked when he tried it. It turned out to be a memory stone, which recorded a lot of item manufacturing methods, cultivation methods, formations, etc. It was just like a computer with rich information.
"We should go. It's a bit far from here to the teleportation point. Let's go there."
Li Qiang asked curiously: "Brother Fu, is the technology of Fengyuan Star very advanced? Which one is better than Earth?"
Fu Shan smiled and said: "It's hard to compare. They are different types of technology. Some things are incomprehensible to you, but each has its own strengths. This time I came back to Earth, it was really an eye-opener. It's a world of difference compared to before. After you go to Fengyuan Star, you can slowly learn new knowledge."
Li Qiang was very excited and asked: "Are there many planets to go? Is it fun?"
"Yes, there are many planets to go, but you need to use a lot of fairy stones and a ready-made teleportation array. You will know whether it is fun or not when you go there."
"Can I go back to Earth in the future?"
"Yes, but you have to cultivate to the 'fusion stage' to have the ability to go back. The ancient teleportation array on Earth has long been annihilated. Going back to Earth depends entirely on your own level of cultivation."
Li Qiang still didn't understand what the fusion stage meant to a cultivator. It took countless years to cultivate. He thought he could go back soon. If Fu Shan explained it more clearly, he would go crazy. It took Fu Shan more than 700 years to be able to return to Earth. How long would it take Li Qiang?
After a while, he arrived at the teleportation point. To Li Qiang's surprise, the teleportation point was made of large pieces of energy stones, a bit like a Bagua map.
Fu Shan smiled and said, "I also went to Fengyuan Star from here for the first time, but this place has been abandoned for many years. Only a few cultivators still remember it. If your cultivation level is not too low, I would not think of going from here." His tone was full of emotion.
"Okay, you stand in the center of the formation first and wait for me to start it." Fu Shan began to replace some invalid energy stones and rotate the formation. A slow flow of light began to flow between the energy stones.
Fu Shan sighed and said, "This teleportation point has been abandoned for too long. Wait for it to rotate for a while before calibrating the direction."
Sitting in the center of the formation, Li Qiang was panicking. He came from Earth to Mars in a confused way, but this time it was clear and he didn't know what would happen. He prayed secretly: "Gods and gods, all kinds of gods and Buddhas, Brother God, Amitabha, bless me to reach Fengyuan Star smoothly, Amen." He made a cross and calmed down.
As if to answer his prayer, bursts of shrieks suddenly came from the distance. Fu Shan stood up and frowned to look into the distance, and said with a serious expression: "Who is whistling to invite me, come here!" The voice was not loud when it came out, but it was not far away. The sound waves were like being exploded, rumbling and echoing everywhere, "Come... Come... Come..." It was amazing.
Li Qiang thought: "Damn! It's so spiritual, don't pray for a monster to come out, it will be embarrassing."
The monster didn't come, but Fu Shan's enemy came.
