The Golden Crystal Horned Beast is a very aggressive monster. It is about six meters long, with a snow-white knife-shaped horn on its head and white scales all over its body. When it is angry, the white scales will turn golden. Its long, pointed tail is covered with scales. It usually has two red crystal eyes, but when it is angry, it will open a third eye on its forehead, so it is also called the Three-Eyed Beast.
Li Qiang had no time to curse, so he raised his Hundred Blades Spear and stabbed the Golden Crystal Horned Beast on the head with a series of spears, and shouted at the same time: "Everyone, retreat quickly!" The illusory spears could not stop the Golden Crystal Horned Beast's steps, and the Golden Crystal Horned Beast hit Li Qiang in the chest. The Red Flame Dragon Shield was immediately activated, but the monster was too heavy and had a strong momentum, so Li Qiang was caught off guard and was knocked away.
Seeing this, Zhao Hao and Zheng Peng immediately approached from the left and right at the same time.
Zhao Hao thrust his sword straight at the monster's eyes, while Zheng Peng swung his axe and chopped it on the monster's horn with all his might.
The golden horn of the golden-crystal-horned beast flashed with golden light, and Zheng Peng felt that he had chopped it on the horn of Nanshan. He was shocked and retreated rapidly, fell to the ground, and the axe flew out of his hand.
Zhao Hao's sword also missed, and he knew it was not good, so he quickly chopped the monster with his sword backhand, and relied on his agility to bounce it back. This sword did not hurt its skin at all.
Li Qiang got up from the ground. Although he was not injured, he felt very cowardly and felt that his skills were not enough. He looked up and was so frightened that his soul flew away. He shouted: "Heizi, hide quickly!"
Zheng Peng fell to the ground, the axe fell in the distance, and the golden-crystal-horned beast was quickly pushing him.
Twelve whip shadows continuously entangled the feet of the golden crystal horned beast. The golden crystal horned beast stumbled a few steps and fell to the ground. Mei Jingjing's long whip flashed and pulled Zheng Peng over.
Li Qiang looked at Niuniu with approval, looked around, and he had an idea in his mind. He shouted: "Everyone, follow me!" Li Qiang led a few people to the big tree. When they got under the tree, he said: "You hide behind the boulder, I will lead it."
The golden crystal horned beast was shining with golden light, and it broke free from the whip shadows and stood up in a few moves. It seemed very angry. It turned around and saw Li Qiang standing under the tree. It roared and rushed up.
Li Qiang shot out a golden eagle to blow the golden crystal horned beast back a few steps. He laughed and said to the man on the tree: "You sit tight." He dodged and hid behind the boulder. The golden crystal horned beast was furious after being blown up by the golden eagle, and rushed towards Li Qiang quickly. Li Qiang suddenly disappeared, and it crashed into a tree. The man screamed and fell from the tree, landing on the golden crystal horned beast.
What shocked Li Qiang and his friends was that the man actually grabbed the monster's horn and punched it methodically. The golden crystal horned beast was like being pressed by a mountain and could not move at all. The man grinned in the direction where Li Qiang and his friends were hiding and said, "Hehe, I can't beat it anymore. Alas, I'm old and can't show off my strength!"
The man jumped off the golden crystal horned beast, dragged it with one hand, and walked towards the boulder where Li Qiang and his friends were hiding.
Li Qiang and his friends were stunned. This man was so powerful. Looking at the monster again, it was already shining with golden light. It used all its strength to try to break free from the man's control, roaring one after another, and seemed so helpless.
Mei Jingjing said nervously: "He, he dragged the monster over here!" Everyone knew that if the man let go, the result would be terrible.
Li Qiang thought nervously and suddenly thought of a way. He took out a bottle of Maotai liquor that he had drunk half of, held it high, looked at the man and smiled: "Hey! You have to hold on tight, don't let go, if you let go I will be nervous, and I can't hold the wine when I am nervous."
The man was pinched by Li Qiang's weakness and shouted: "Okay, you are so cruel!" After a pause, he smiled and said: "How about a deal? I will help you drive away the golden crystal horned beast, and you will give me the bottle of wine." Looking at the wine in Li Qiang's hand, the man's saliva was about to flow down.
Mei Jingjing shouted, "It's not fair. You led the monster here, so you should drive it away yourself. This doesn't count! Change the conditions."
The man thought, "Haha, as long as I can achieve my goal, what conditions can stump me?" He wiped his saliva and said, "Okay, what conditions do you want me to change!"
Li Qiang nodded and said, "Niuniu, you propose it." He thought, "This is the best solution. No one loses face."
For a moment, Mei Jingjing really couldn't think of any good conditions. She saw the man holding the monster's horn with one hand, and she immediately had an idea in her mind. She giggled and said, "You can use the monster's horn to exchange." She thought, "I want to see how you get it off."
The man was obviously relieved and laughed, "Oh, this is difficult for me."
He held the monster's head with his left hand, grabbed the horn with his right hand and turned his wrist. With a crisp sound of "click", he actually broke the monster's golden horn off. The four of them couldn't believe their eyes. Is this kind of power also something that humans can have?
"You have made great contributions, so I won't kill you. Get out of here!" The man kicked the golden crystal horn beast, and it rolled and disappeared in front of everyone as if it was being dragged by something.
The man holding the beast horn came over proudly and said, "Little girl, you have a good eye. This golden crystal horn is a treasure."
Zhao Hao knew that this man must be a hermit, and he was convinced in his heart, but he said, "Hey, who are you?"
The man ignored Zhao Hao at all. While handing the horn to Mei Jingjing, he stretched out his hand impatiently: "Give me the wine!"
Seeing his anxious look, Li Qiang smiled slightly and said, "I have a lot of wine, but tell me first, who are you?"
The man's eyes lit up: "Really? But I didn't see you wearing it. Hey, you have a storage bracelet, whose disciple are you? Hey, give me the wine first!"
Seeing his anxious look, Li Qiang handed over the bottle of wine.
After taking a sip, his thin face relaxed and he exhaled. He asked, "Which sect do you practice in? How can you have a storage bracelet that is hard to get even for masters of practice? Seeing that you have just reached the Nascent Soul stage, how could your master give you such a precious bracelet?"
Before Li Qiang answered, his expression suddenly changed and he said, "Let's go to a quiet place to talk first. Two annoying guys are coming." Without saying anything, a white light covered the four people, and the ground was empty in an instant.
Two weirdos appeared out of thin air on the ground, one tall and one short. The tall one said, "Damn, he slipped away again!"
The short one sniffed and said in surprise, "This old guy seems to have found good wine. Maybe he has already solved the curse of 'ruthlessness' that we cast."
The tall one said angrily, "Let's look for it again. Let's go!"
"We're here." The man sat down on the ground.
Although Li Qiang can't teleport, he already has experience, while Zhao Hao and the other two have never had such an experience. They are afraid and admired.
The man took another sip of wine and said, "Let's continue." Then he looked at Li Qiang.
Li Qiang hesitated a little and said, "I don't seem to have a sect. The bracelet was given by my elder brother."
The man looked suspicious and said, "It's impossible. Well, who is your elder brother?"
Li Qiang said, "My elder brother is Fu Shan, and he is in Fengyuan Star."
The man jumped up from the ground and shouted in surprise, "What? It's Fu Shan, Fu Chongbi?" He scratched his head and said, "No wonder, no wonder. Hey, strange, little brother, is Fu Shan your guide?"
He knew elder brother Fu Shan, and Li Qiang couldn't help but get excited and said, "Yes, elder brother Fu is my guide. Do you know my elder brother?"
The man laughed and said, "Hey, more than knowing each other, we have been fighting for hundreds of years, and no one can do anything to each other. Hey, you don't seem to have learned any skills, why are you so bad?" Zhao Hao and the other two were surprised and couldn't get a word in, and each of them was thinking in their hearts.
Li Qiang told him about his experience on Mars.
The man laughed happily and said, "Haha, Hua Mei Niang, not bad, not bad, this little witch is quite courageous, she dared to go against Fu Chongbi, interesting, very interesting." He added, "Since you are Fu Chongbi's brother, I won't hide it from you. My last name is Hou Pijing, and I am both a friend and an enemy of your elder brother."
Li Qiang laughed in surprise, "What, you are called Monkey Fart Spirit? Haha!" The four of them couldn't help laughing.
Hou Pijing said angrily, "You are disrespectful, it's the Pi of Pili, the Jing of clean, don't laugh! Damn it, I knew you were going to laugh!"
The four of them tried hard to hold back their laughter, Mei Jingjing's face turned red, and the smile at the corners of her mouth spread like water waves. Li Qiang finally stopped smiling, and when he saw Niuniu's strange look, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Hou Pijing stamped his feet, sighed, drank a big gulp of wine angrily, and said, "Do you want to know what sect Fu Shan belongs to?"
Li Qiang certainly wanted to know. Since he lost contact with Fu Shan on Mars, he had no time to understand many situations. He wanted to return to Earth in the future, but without Fu Shan's guidance, it would be almost a fantasy.
Hou Pijing said proudly, "If you want to hear it, bring another bottle of wine!"
Li Qiang was furious.
Hou Pijing drank a sip of wine, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and began to introduce Fu Shan's background and sect to Li Qiang.
Fu Shan, with the courtesy name Chongbi and the pseudonym Qingfeng Zhenren, is from a sect called "Zhongxuan". The sect's cultivation focuses on making instruments, and the cultivation methods are unique and peculiar. Newcomers make rapid progress in the early stages of cultivation.
Among the seven sects and organizations on Fengyuan Star, Zhongxuan is the most unique sect. The core figures of this sect are all brothers. They recruit newcomers as guides, but the newcomers who can be recruited must meet the unique requirements of this sect. In addition, to obtain the qualification of a sect's guide, one must reach the eighth level of the Spirit Division Stage, and must refine a unique cultivation treasure to lay the foundation for newcomers to cultivate.
Zhongxuan Sect also has a strange rule that every core brother can recruit disciples on his own, so Zhongxuan Sect is also a powerful sect. There are 27 core brothers in Zhongxuan Sect, but 15 of them are missing, probably in seclusion. Fu Shan ranks 12th among the brothers in the sect, and his strength has reached the Grandmaster level.
Li Qiang sighed and said, "Brother Hou, it's a pity that Brother Fu and I have been separated." He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who are the two annoying guys you said just now? Why are you hiding from them, Brother Hou?"
Breathing out the smell of alcohol, Hou Pijing cursed, "Two despicable things, they will hide in the dark to hurt people, they are the elders of the Poison Curse Sect. Damn it, they took advantage of me not paying attention and cast their sect's ruthless knot curse. My Yuanying was sealed and I had to drink to temporarily untie it, making me like a drunkard."
Li Qiang asked curiously, "Why can alcohol untie the ruthless knot?"
"I don't know. I was hit by the ruthless knot and felt unhappy, so I went to drink. I accidentally discovered that alcohol could temporarily untie that damn knot, as if the stronger the alcohol, the better. Damn it, I have been drinking for ten years, and now my saliva will flow out when I smell the aroma of alcohol." Hou Pijing said helplessly.
Li Qiang thought: "The stronger the alcohol, the better. What can be better than alcohol? I happen to have medical anhydrous alcohol with a purity of 90 degrees. Haha, alcohol can't solve your ruthlessness complex?"
Li Qiang took out a bottle of alcohol and said with a smile: "This is the strongest alcohol I brought, but it's not good to drink. Do you want to try it?" He was secretly happy: "Wow, 90-degree pure alcohol, it will burn you to death. Let's see how he drinks it."
Hou Pijing couldn't bear to hear the word "alcohol" at all. He grabbed it, opened the bottle cap, gulped, gulped, gulped, and drank three big mouthfuls in a row. He wondered: "Why is it like this?" He felt a ball of fire burning from his stomach. He shouted loudly: "My God, it's great. This wine is addictive." He raised the bottle and poured all the wine into his stomach, then immediately sat down cross-legged.
Mei Jingjing asked in a low voice: "Brother, what kind of wine did you give him? His face is so red, and his body is glowing after drinking."
Zheng Peng said stupidly: "Little brother, give me a sip of that wine too."
Li Qiang laughed and scolded: "If you can drink it, why wouldn't I give it to you? That's alcohol."
The three of them didn't know what alcohol was, and looked at Li Qiang with puzzled eyes. Li Qiang couldn't explain it either.
Hou Pijing was very excited. The ruthless complex that had troubled him for nearly ten years had a sign of being completely solved.
The true essence was rapidly rotating under the urging of alcohol. He closed his eyes and looked inward. The dark sticky silk covering the Yuanying began to loosen. As the true essence was rapidly consumed, it became lighter and lighter. The Yuanying grew rapidly. In an instant, the ruthless complex that had troubled him for nearly ten years disappeared.
Sweating all over, Hou Pijing cheered and jumped up, floating in the air and walked around, landing in front of Li Qiang, laughing happily.
Li Qiang thought to himself: "Wow, 90-degree medical alcohol is like drinking water, what a great skill!" He laughed and said: "Did you solve it? Congratulations! Congratulations!"
Hou Pijing said excitedly: "It's solved, it's solved, haha, brother, I, Hou, have never owed anyone a favor, I won't say thank you, in the future, if you have any problems, I will take care of them!"
Li Qiang didn't think it was a big deal, but he was very happy to have such a powerful master to help him. He didn't know that Hou Pijing was as famous as Fu Shan in the cultivation world. He was an extremely difficult character with a very high cultivation level and few opponents. With his support behind him, there were only a limited number of people who dared to provoke Li Qiang.
Li Qiang said with a smile: "Brother Hou, you see, I have been separated from Brother Fu, and I don't know many cultivation skills. Can you teach me?"
Hou Pijing was surprised: "This brother doesn't seem to know the rules of the cultivation world at all. The various sects in the cultivation world do not allow disciples from other sects to practice their own cultivation methods. Well, who makes me like this brother?" He asked: "Brother, what do you want to learn?"
Zhao Hao tugged at Li Qiang's collar and whispered: "Learn to fly!"
Zhao Hao's cultivation is poor, but his vision is very unique.
Mei Jingjing and Zheng Peng also shouted: "We want to learn too!"
Hou Pijing looked at Zhao Hao and scolded with a smile: "You little guy, your vision is quite powerful. Okay, I'm happy today, and I will teach everyone a set of kung fu."
Zhao Hao smiled bitterly. It was the first time that a man in his seventies was called a little guy. But he was still very happy to learn a little kung fu from his master. Seeing that he was so powerful, what he taught himself would definitely not be bad.
Li Qiang carefully felt the operation of the true energy, and he slowly began to float up. He tried to take a step and immediately understood what made him walk slowly in the air. Li Qiang was very happy and shouted, "Haha, I can fly!" His mind relaxed and he fell down with a "thump".
Li Qiang got up from the ground awkwardly and explained, "Hey, don't laugh, it's accidental, it's accidental!"
Mei Jingjing said, "Brother, you look so handsome when you fall down."
Hou Pijing "pooped" a mouthful of wine and coughed and laughed, "Little girl, are you praising your brother or making fun of him, haha!"
Mei Jingjing blushed and said, "Niuniu, of course you are praising your brother. If you dare to laugh at me, I, I will hit you."
After playing for a while, everyone started to learn again.
Li Qiang relied on his good foundation and quickly became proficient. In fact, as long as the cultivator reaches the opening period, he can learn the sword-controlling technique and start learning to fly, but he must have a good sword. After cultivating into a Yuanying, he does not need to rely on external objects and can fly freely. But to learn teleportation, one must practice to the eighth level of the Spirit Severing Stage, so as long as one can teleport, one must be at the level of a Grandmaster.
Looking at the pitiful Zhao Hao, Hou Pijing smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. It's not that I won't teach you. It's that your master didn't give you a sword, so I can't teach you."
Li Qiang thought to himself, "Oh, in the world of cultivation, disciples must be given swords. Damn, I don't have one, what should I do?" After thinking about it, Li Qiang smiled at Hou Pijing.
Hou Pijing saw Li Qiang's smile and shouted, "Hey, don't have any bad ideas. I don't have a sword. I don't have one."
Li Qiang didn't answer, but slowly placed eight bottles of wine on the ground. He smiled and said to Zhao Hao, "Although you are my registered disciple, I didn't give you a flying sword. These eight bottles of top-quality wine are your compensation."
Zhao Hao understood and said, "Thank you, Master."
Hou Pijing's eyes almost popped out and he shouted, "Brother, I didn't let you down. You, you──!" He was so anxious that he scratched his head.
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Uncle Master, how about this? These eight bottles of good wine are my nephew's tribute to you. You can give me a good sword on behalf of Master."
Hou Pijing was caught by Li Qiang again. After drinking old wine for ten years, his addiction to wine has become so great that he can't believe it. Hou Pijing shook his head and pretended to be just awakened and said: "Hey, I remembered that there seems to be a good sword. Forget it, you kid, take it. But you have to practice again before you can use it."
Zhao Hao happily took the sword. It was a seven-inch long sword, shining silver and exquisite. It seemed like mercury was flowing in the sword body, and two tiny seal characters "Han Que" were engraved on the sword neck.
Mei Jingjing and Zheng Peng were not happy with this, so they rushed forward to entangle Hou Pijing, and they drowned him with all kinds of soft, hard, square and flat things.
The four people entangled Hou Pijing and almost went crazy. Hou Pijing, who was already a master of the generation, was actually confused by the four juniors who had just entered the door and asked for it. He shouted that he couldn't bear it.
After more than ten days of practice, Li Qiang and the other four had greatly increased their strength.
That day, Hou Pijing hid in a big tree, drinking good wine while squinting his eyes and thinking.
Li Qiang flew up the tree and sat beside him, and asked: "Brother, are you also practicing on Fengyuan Star?"
Hou Pijing shook his head and said: "I practice on Badar Star, but I often go to Fengyuan Star, where there are many practitioners and many sects. Some things used by practitioners can only be bought on Fengyuan Star."
Li Qiang asked curiously: "Then why did you come to Tianting Star?"
Hou Pijing said: "This is my hometown. I have to come back every few decades. In fact, there is nothing to see. Things have changed a lot, but I can't let it go in my heart." He laughed dryly several times, full of bitterness. "Let's not talk about this. Where are you going, brother?"
Li Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "The emperor of the former Song Dynasty wants me to go to the capital. I don't know what he wants to do?"
Hou Pijing nodded and said, "Well, this is not surprising, because you are a cultivator. It doesn't matter. I will go with you." With a gleam in his eyes, he said, "Good fellows, these two despicable things actually found here. Let's see how I will punish you this time."
Li Qiang knew that the people from the Poison Curse Cult had come.
