When Ling Yi emerged from the " Satellite " mini-world, a month had passed.
"I wonder where the plot is at now." Ling Yi took out his phone, opened the GPS Map, and immediately saw that the coordinates of Li Qiang, Mei Jingjing, and Zhao Hao had converged.
Their location was the Frozen Ice Continent.
With a thought, the Space Array Pattern within his body emitted a bright light, and Ling Yi vanished from his spot, reappearing beside Li Qiang.
At this moment, Li Qiang was not only accompanied by Zhao Hao and Mei Jingjing, but also by Hua Meiniang.
Everyone was in a rather disheveled state.
Countless monsters made of Ice surrounded them.
The monster was entirely blue, exhaling icy breath, and making a "cha-cha" friction sound between the travelers.
These monsters weren't very strong; any one of Li Qiang or his group could easily take on one of them by themselves.
Hua Meiniang's peach blossom-shaped magic weapon could easily defeat a whole group of enemies.
Despite this, the group was unable to make any progress. One group died and another rushed in. Not only did they fail to achieve anything, but the safe zone continued to shrink.
Mei Jingjing, being the weakest and already injured, was protected in the middle by Li Qiang, Zhao Hao, and Hua Meiniang.
If it weren't for Zhao Hao, Li Qiang and Hua Meiniang would probably have been unable to defend themselves, given that they were both wearing top-tier armor.
As for the source of these top-tier battle suits, they were naturally Li Qiang's first acquisition from the Star Star Palace.
This was Mo Huaiyuan's entire fortune, almost all of which he gave to Li Qiang. It's fair to say that Li Qiang is now incredibly wealthy.
As for why the group didn't fly away, it was because there was a layer of Ice Gang Qi in the sky. That stuff was even more terrifying. Not to mention Nascent Soul Stage Hou Pijing wouldn't dare to venture into the Ice Gang Qi.
"Master, Master, it's Uncle-Master! Uncle-Master is here!"
Zhao Hao, who was in the middle of the Combat, looked up and happened to see Ling Yi appear out of thin air in the monster horde. He immediately shouted with joy.
Li Qiang also turned around and saw that it was indeed Ling Yi. Although he didn't know how Ling Yi had appeared, he immediately became anxious when he saw Ling Yi's current position.
" Ling Yi, hurry over here and we'll meet up. There are too many Chacha Monster here; you can't kill them all by yourself," Li Qiang shouted.
But Ling Qi calmly waved his hand, and a strange weapon that was black, long, and thick appeared in his hand.
"Holy crap, this is way too much! You bought this thing on Earth?"
Of everyone present, only Li Qiang knew what this was, but would earthly firearms be effective against these monsters?
Ling Yi chuckled, a pair of sunglasses suddenly appearing on his face, and a cigar dangling from his mouth.
White shirt, black suit, small round hat, holding Nam Amitabha Gatling Gun" in hand— Li Qiang couldn't help but smile wryly. If we're talking about showing off, this guy is the real deal.
"Behold my Nam Amitabha Gatling Gun!"
This Gatling gun is neither an earthly firearm nor simply a product of Qi Refining. Rather, it is a method of Manifestation Divine Power that Ling Yi developed during this period, based on the mental cultivation techniques of the Shadow Dream Armor.
It contains a large number of offensive Formation Pattern, and its Li Qiang will be immediately apparent.
Ling Yi pulled the trigger directly, and Dark Gold Divine Power surged into the Gatling gun. With the enhancement of the Formation Pattern, it transformed into terrifying Huoyan bullets, which roared out.
The Chacha Monster they were like paper in front of these bullets, instantly blasted into dust, and Sweep away in the blink of an eye.
As Ling Yi Sweep, he moved closer to Li Qiang Li Qiang and his group. Whistling bullets occasionally whizzed past them, blowing up the Chacha Monster around them.
In the blink of an eye, there wasn't a single living Chacha Monster left within a radius of several kilometers.
Ling Yi slung the Gatling gun over his shoulder, took a puff of his cigar, and asked, "Isn't it cool?"
"You, this is a magical artifact you crafted? You actually crafted a Gatling gun? That's so damn cool, how come I didn't think of that?"
At this moment, a new group of Chacha Monster gathered around. Ling Yi picked up the Gatling gun again and asked, "Which way do we go? You point the way, and I'll lead the way."
As he spoke, Ling Yi glanced at Hua Meiniang. He had to admit, this woman was truly beautiful.
However, it seems there are no ugly women in the Cultivation Realm, since the Nascent Soul Stage offers a chance to reshape one's appearance.
What woman wouldn't want to take advantage of this opportunity to sculpt her body and become more attractive?
No, it's not just women, men do too.
Of course, this excludes those like Brother Hou Pijing who don't care about appearance.
Everyone looked at Mei Jingjing, Mei Jingjing then pointed in a certain direction.
"Set off!"
Ling Yi's Gatling gun unleashed another burst of flames, instantly blasting the newly regrouped Chacha Monster to pieces.
Hua Meiniang glanced warily at the Lin Yi in Ling Yi's hand, then leaned closer to Li Qiang and asked, "Is he really at the Spiral Illumination Stage?"
Li Qiang chuckled and said, "Sister Hua, guess!"
"You brat, are you looking for a beating?" Hua Meiniang rolled her eyes.
"And another thing, I haven't settled the score with you for what happened before. I Combat Lei Tianxiao up front, and you actually sneaked away?"
"Hey, I can't beat him anyway. Staying would only be a burden to you. Besides, Sister Hua, you're so powerful, are you really afraid of a Xiaoxiao Lei Tianxiao?"
"Hmph, if it weren't for my many tricks up my sleeve, I would have been in trouble this time. That guy actually Refinement a living person's Nascent Soul, he's simply despicable."
"Is that person dead?" Li Qiang asked.
"He got away. His Soul Refining Banner was too powerful; I couldn't defeat him, and he didn't want to fight me, so he ran away," Hua Meiniang said regretfully.
"Let me tell you, their target is very likely the Spirit Banner Sect of Rejuvenation Valley, or even Elder Mei Youbing. There are quite a few people coming from Hidden Tribulation Star this time, so we need to hurry. If we're late, Elder Mei might be in trouble."
"Once the people of Hidden Tribulation Star master the method of refining the Hundred Demise Pill, and are no longer restricted by their inner demons, their strength will increase even further, and they may become a disaster for the Cultivation Realm."
Only then did Li Qiang finally realize that Hua Meiniang was a good person, and that he had misunderstood her before.
" Hundred Demise Pill? What's that?" Li Qiang asked.
Mei Jingjing, standing nearby, explained, " The Hundred Demise Pill is a kind of elixir that can eliminate or suppress inner demons; currently, only my grandfather can refine it."
"Old Master Mei's alchemy skills are unparalleled; few in the Cultivation Realm can Peter," Hua Meiniang exclaimed in admiration.
"Everyone has Obsession. For ordinary people, even the strongest Obsession have little impact. But for cultivators, Obsession often turn into inner demons. At best, their cultivation stagnates, making it difficult to improve. At worst, they transform into demons and lose themselves."
"This is so troublesome?" Li Qiang scratched his head. He had never seriously cultivated and still only had a superficial understanding of cultivation.
"Hmph, little one, you have a lot to learn," Hua Meiniang said haughtily.
"Hey, can you stop calling me 'little guy'? How am I little?" Li Qiang retorted.
Ling Yi turned around and suddenly said, "Brother, are you flirting with your sister-in-law?"
"Sister-in-law?" Li Qiang was taken aback for a moment, then realized something, looked at Hua Meiniang, and immediately showed an expression of sudden realization.
Hua Meiniang also realized what was happening, but she didn't refute it. This fearless woman unexpectedly blushed.
Li Qiang was a perceptive man, and he instantly understood that Hua Meiniang most likely liked Brother Fu.
"Hehehe, ouch!"
Hua Meiniang smacked him on the head hard, annoyed, and said, "Don't laugh!"
"I..." Li Qiang was on the verge of tears.
Ling Yi laughed loudly, "Sister-in-law, well done! This guy has a really sharp tongue, haha."
Ling Yi's address of "sister-in-law" made Hua Meiniang overjoyed, and she immediately beamed with happiness. Looking at Ling Yi again, she found him pleasing to the eye no matter what.
"Hey, Ling Yi, are you sure Brother Fu will... oh, I mean... oh my god, Sister Hua, no, sister-in-law, I was wrong."
Seeing Hua Meiniang's murderous glare, Li Qiang and his companion quickly begged for mercy.
Ling Yi greatly admired and appreciated Hua Meiniang; she was a woman who dared to love and hate.
The method used was a bit off.
Ling Yi tossed the Gatling gun into the air, letting it attack the Chacha Monster its own.
He then moved closer to Hua Meiniang and said, "Sister-in-law, you should know Brother Fu's character and personality; he's a blockhead."
"Hmph, he's not a block of wood, he's practically ancient iron!" Hua Meiniang said discontentedly.
"Yes, you can't expect Brother Fu to suddenly understand when dealing with someone like him. You have to be direct and take the initiative."
"But she's a girl!"
Ling Yi curled her lip. "Don't think I don't know where you got your reputation as the little devil of the Cultivation Realm. With your fearless personality, are you afraid of this?"
"If you don't tell him, how will Brother Fu know that you like her? You also said that he is Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron. If you don't tell him, I'm afraid Brother Fu will never have thought of this in his entire life."
"You can't keep causing him trouble. Brother Fu is straightforward; the more you cause trouble, the more distant he'll become, you understand?"
Hua Meiniang seemed to be deep in thought, as if it were indeed true.
Although Fu Shan and Hua Meiniang did end up together in the original story, that was later in the story, by which time Li Qiang had already become a god.
What should I do?
"Just stick to him, go wherever he goes, and tell him you like him."
As he spoke, Li Qiang flipped his hand, and a book titled " Thirty-Six Techniques of Love " appeared in his hand. Ling Yi then handed the book directly to Hua Meiniang.
"This book is for my sister-in-law. I wish her all the best in finding her true love soon."
"Get lost, you brat!" Hua Meiniang, her face flushed with embarrassment, but she still put the book away.
Two more hours passed, and the group had left the area of Chacha Monster and reached the Green Grassland and the rolling mountains. Finally, no more Chacha Monster were coming to surround them.
Although the Chacha Monster was gone, more than ten cultivators appeared ahead, each with considerable cultivation, all at least at the Golden Core Realm, including four at the Nascent Soul Realm and one at the Spirit Leaving the Body Realm.
" Lei Tianxiao, how dare you show your face in front of me?" Hua Meiniang pointed at the Human Dao.
" Li Qiang must die!" Lei Tianxiao, looking at Li Qiang with a gloomy expression.
Before Hua Meiniang could say anything more, Ling Yi spoke first.
"Your goal is that basin at the border of the Litang Kingdom, the Great Han State, and the Former Song Kingdom, isn't it?"
Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, Lei Tianxiao's pupils suddenly contracted.
"It seems you've all become pawns in that person's game."
Seeing Lei Tianxiao's reaction, Ling Yi knew he had guessed correctly, but precisely because he had guessed correctly, Ling Yi felt somewhat disappointed.
This confirms one thing: this world is not the original Piaomiao World, but merely a fictional world set against the backdrop of Piaomiao World.
