Chapter 2, Mars Teleportation Array.

Bump... Boom...

Tomorrow I still need to go shopping.Li Qiang, sitting on the bed, couldn't fall asleep at all. The pain in his heart seemed to only be able to calm down slightly through crazy shopping. Scenes of poverty in his childhood and later struggles in the mall flashed through his mind like a movie, and Li Qiang couldn't sleep all night.

Ah, I can't take it off. Then how can I face people? They won't let me walk on the street wearing shiny armor, right? I... I...

Fu Shan smiled and said, "This is also my first time traveling from here to the Sealed Fate Star. However, this place has been abandoned for many years, and only a few cultivators still remember it. If it weren't for your low cultivation level, I wouldn't have thought of leaving from here." There was a hint of emotion in his tone.

The grieving expression made Fu Shan burst into laughter again, never expected that the little brother he found this time would turn out to be such a lively character.

Fu Shan approached Li Qiang, revealing a set of silver armor in his hand. With a wave, the silver armor attached itself to Li Qiang as if it were alive.

There are many planets that you can visit, but it requires a lot of celestial stones and ready-made teleportation arrays. It's fun, you'll know once you go.

Li Qiang stood on the ground foolishly: "Brother Fu, did you turn me into a monster? I'm about to be played to death." The situation of being blamed easily scared Li Qiang, and he dared not move recklessly anymore. He tiptoed and tried to enter the "Five-Colored Flame Robe".

The second is the terrain that has not been opened up, which is formed due to large-scale subsidence, and the widest part of the subsidence area reaches sixty miles.

Li Qiang was very excited and said, "Are there many planets to visit? Is it fun?"

Gradually everything calmed down. Li Qiang discovered that the falling rocks were actually neatly arranged around the "Five-Colored Flame Shield" and didn't manage to smash into it at all.

"Don't worry, it's very common in our place, and no one will make fun of it," Fu Shan comforted.

Soon they arrived at the teleportation point. To Li Qiang's surprise, the teleportation point was made up of large energy stones, arranged in a pattern resembling the Bagua diagram.

Okay, you stand in the center of the formation first, wait for me to activate it. Fu Shan began to replace some of the malfunctioning energy stones and rotate the formation, and a slow flow of light began to appear between the energy stones.

Li Qiang is no longer surprised, and has obtained another treasure. Upon careful observation of the armor on his body, Li Qiang felt that there was nothing to say, it was simply an ultimate work of art. He pointed to the armor on his body and asked, "What is the name of this treasure armor? It's so beautiful, oh no..." Suddenly, Li Qiang thought of a problem: "How can I take it off?"

I still don't understand why I have become like this. Li Qiang is in a room at the Jinjiang Hotel, looking at the person in the mirror, touching his face, and thinking to himself, "Now no one will recognize me. I never thought I could become so good-looking. Sigh, what's the use of being good-looking when I have lost my home, friends, and company? Now I truly have nothing."

Click... Click... Click...As the "Purple Flame Heart" energy continued to radiate, the rocks around Li Qiang began to crumble piece by piece. "Not fun, not fun, help... Please don't break, yiyaa... Wah... I don't want to play anymore... Help me...!"

Hello, what good wine do you have? In a tobacco and liquor store, Li Qiang smiled and asked the beautiful saleswoman.

Li Qiang's first task was to rent a room in a warehouse. He thought that since he might not be able to come back to Earth for a short time, it would be better to buy some more things these days, which might be useful in the future. Moreover, if the cash in the bracelet was not used, it would just be a pile of waste paper after leaving Earth.

Fu Shan sat cross-legged on the ground. The teleportation from Earth to Mars cost him five top-grade Bi Chao stones and a lot of his own energy. He waved his hand and lifted the "Five-Colored Flame Luo Cover" to protect the two of them, then immediately began to meditate, focusing on restoring his energy with one energy stone in each hand.

For nineteen consecutive days, there was a super crazy shopping spree until the cash stored in the bracelet was almost spent, then it stopped. Li Qiang, a businessman by birth, habitually estimated the expenses of this time and was surprised to find that he had spent over nine million yuan, equivalent to more than one million US dollars, in nineteen days. The space in the bracelet was already half full, and everything from clothes to shoes, books to paper, rice to salt, as long as it was available on the market, was bought, as well as many medicines and some small medical equipment.

Mars is our Earth's neighbor, with a diameter of four thousand two hundred miles, approximately half the size of Earth, and a mass of one point one one times that of Earth. Mars is surrounded by a relatively thin atmosphere. Mars is a mysterious "red planet".

Li Qiang, sitting in the center of the formation, felt anxious. He had come to Mars from Earth in a confused state, but this time, everything was clear. He didn't know what would happen. He silently prayed, "Gods and goddesses of the past, various deities, God brother, Amitabha Buddha, bless me to safely reach the Sealed Fate Star, Amen." After making the sign of the cross, he calmed down.

My goodness, what a precious baby! How am I going to get down from here, it's so high! Li Qiang was embedded in the cliff, more than seventy meters above the ground, emitting a purple light all over his body. From a distance, he looked like a lamp hanging on the cliff. Fortunately, this was on Mars. If it were on Earth, who knows what kind of shocking effect it would have.

There are three distinctly different terrains on Mars.

A towering dark red cliff, a deathly silent sky, a terrifying stillness all around, a colorful half-circle flowing around him and Fu Shan, like a giant tent. Although Li Qiang didn't know what this thing was, he understood that it must serve a protective purpose.

Wearing the armor, Li Qiang didn't feel any weight, only a cool and comfortable sensation all over his body.

Hello, what... Oh, I'm sorry, what do you want to buy?

Li Qiang chuckled softly and enjoyed the current feeling. He said, "I want to buy some good wine. Can you recommend any?"

Fu Shan sighed and said, "This teleportation point has been abandoned for too long. It will take some time for it to recalibrate its direction."

Li Qiang crossed his hands and covered his private parts, with a mournful expression, saying, "If it weren't for my confidence in my current image, I really couldn't go on living. I can't bear to be seen like this."

Regardless, after achieving cultivation, I must return to Earth. Making up my mind, my mood calmed down a lot. Only then did Li Qiang carefully observe the surroundings.

Hehe. Across the counter, two equally young female shop assistants were whispering to each other, occasionally emitting ambiguous laughter while biting their ears.

Hmm, why can't I get in? Brother Fu, please open the door! Li Qiang was blocked outside by the "Five-Colored Flame Barrier". No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take a step inside. Li Qiang lay on the "Five-Colored Flame Barrier" and looked pitifully at Fu Shan inside the barrier.

Here is the "Jade Eye Scroll" for you. With it, you can learn and understand everything. Just input a bit of your energy into it, and you can give it a try. Fu Shan took out a black jade about the size of a cigarette box and handed it to Li Qiang.

After taking a shower, Li Qiang left the hotel.

From Li Qiang's body, a dazzling purple light began to emanate, so bright that it illuminated the surroundings.

Boom... Another loud noise, and the boulder exploded as if triggered by explosives, sending debris flying everywhere. "Damn, what the hell is this... This thing can explode too!"

Boom...earth-shattering!

Fu Shan and Li Qiang are standing in the second type of terrain. It is a huge depression area.

Li Qiang thought to himself: "Damn! If it's so effective, I'll be in trouble if it summons a monster."

The monsters didn't come, but instead, Fu Shan's archenemy arrived.

Li Qiang is very satisfied with his current image, feeling very refreshed, now he can start everything from scratch.

Hehe, originally I was going to let you forge and wear the armor by yourself before the period of spiritual silence, but now it's not possible. Forget it, I'll give you a set of armor that I've forged, but you still need to learn how to forge armor by yourself in the future.

Until a long time later, the beautiful female shop assistant still remembered that handsome and wealthy boy, fantasizing about how great it would be if he were my boyfriend.

Li Qiang is still confused until now. He just can't believe that it is possible to run from Earth to Mars solely relying on human power. It's really unimaginable. Forced to leave Earth out of helplessness, he can no longer see his family and friends. Thinking about all this, a sense of loss overwhelms his heart.

This is not a small change, it is like throwing a huge stone into the water, causing ripples to spread out layer by layer. The current "Purple Flame Heart" is like the surface of the water, and Li Qiang's breath-holding and calming down is like a huge stone hitting the water. The massive energy of the "Purple Flame Heart" has been activated.

Li Qiang still doesn't understand what the period of integration means for cultivators, which requires countless years of cultivation. He thought he could go back soon. If Fu Shan could explain it more clearly, he would go crazy. Fu Shan spent more than 700 years before he had the ability to return to Earth. How much time will Li Qiang spend?

After sitting down and crossing his legs, Li Qiang was at a loss and didn't know where to start. "Hmm, I remember reading martial arts novels before, and it seems like you have to gather your qi in your dantian. Let me try that."

Fu Shan smiled and said, "This cannot be compared. It is a different type of technology. There are some things that you cannot understand there, but each has its own strengths. This time when I returned to Earth, it truly broadened my horizons, and it was completely different from before. After you go to the Sealing Edge Star, then slowly learn new knowledge."

Due to the fact that the Earth has been almost forgotten by the world of cultivation, the teleportation array on Earth was abandoned and disappeared a hundred years ago. Only people like Fu Shan, who came from Earth, would spare no effort and spend a lot of energy and immortal stones to return to their hometown. If one is not a cultivation expert, it is impossible to return even if they want to.

As Li Qiang struggled to get up from the ground, Fu Shan couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "Haha... Haha... Little brother... Haha, even though there are no outsiders here, there's no need to be so exaggerated... Hahaha!"

The most incredible thing that Li Qiang felt was that his image in the mirror looked like an 18 or 19-year-old boy, with only his eyes retaining the original sense of maturity.

The energy of "Purple Flame Heart" is expanding rapidly. Li Qiang can no longer sit still. He swiftly jumps up from the ground, like a bullet fired from a gun, smashing through the protective "Five-Colored Flame Robe" and crashing towards the nearby cliff. As he watches the approaching cliff, Li Qiang screams in terror, "Wow... the mountain is collapsing! Help...!"

Can I still return to Earth in the future?

We should go now. It's a bit of a journey to the teleportation point, so let's walk there.

Fu Shan told Li Qiang that he would leave the Earth in twenty days, during which time he had to attend to some matters and asked Li Qiang to come and pick him up then.

Don't worry, my friend. I never expected you to reach the "Spiritual Silence Period" in such a short time. It's truly eye-opening for me. Normally, it takes several decades for cultivators to reach this stage. Hey, you're really amazing! It only took you a few days, which is truly admirable.

Li Qiang couldn't help but straighten his chest when he heard him praise, but suddenly felt something was wrong. He hurriedly bent down and continued to protect his treasure, calling out with an embarrassed face, "Big brother, I don't care if it's spiritual or not, think of a solution quickly, don't let my little brother be exposed."

Hold your breath, close your eyes, calm your mind. After a very long time, just when Li Qiang was about to despair, there was a loud "boom". Li Qiang felt like his body was being blown apart. Although his eyes were closed, he could clearly see a purple flame expanding inside his body. Li Qiang understood that the "Purple Flame Heart" had moved.

The following events left the female shop assistant stunned. This unbelievably handsome young man bought almost all of the branded alcohol in the store in one go. After placing a thick stack of banknotes on the counter, he instructed the hired workers to take it away and then waved goodbye to her before leaving elegantly towards the next shopping mall.

"Hehe," Fu Shan chuckled mischievously. "This treasure armor is called 'Starry Sky'. It is a top-grade inner armor that will never fall off once worn. However, when the Lingji period ends and the Yuan Ying is initially formed, the armor will attach to the Yuan Ying and become invisible from the outside. At that time, you will need to refine the second armor, which is the true battle armor that can be put on and taken off."

In the midst of boredom, Li Qiang discovered something amazing - he could actually stop breathing without any discomfort. Li Qiang glanced at Fu Shan, who was sitting cross-legged, and knew that he wouldn't wake up for a while. So he also sat cross-legged beside him, pondering in his heart. Since being transformed by the "Purple Flame Heart," he didn't know what changes had occurred in his body. Now he had the perfect opportunity to test it out.

The usually eloquent saleswoman looked up and saw Li Qiang, but unexpectedly became speechless. Her heart pounded like a deer, and a blush crept up her face. She thought to herself, "Wow! This boy is really handsome! My boyfriend can't compare to him."

Li Qiang now stands at a height of 180 centimeters, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His skin is as fair and delicate as a baby's, with a faint blush flowing beneath the surface. He exudes explosive strength throughout his body, and his slender eyes emit a daunting sharpness. The lines on his face are as strong and vigorous as if they were carved with a knife and an axe. He may not be handsome, but he is full of masculine vigor, bearing no resemblance to the original Li Qiang.

Li Qiang smashed deeply into the ground in the shape of a large character, sinking in for more than half a meter. After a while, he struggled to get up with a bitter face, "Phew... Phew..." spitting out mouthfuls of mud and sand, he fiercely punched the nearby boulder, venting his dissatisfaction.

Li Qiang, deeply embedded in the cliff, was so frightened that he shouted, "Brother Fu, quickly hide... Huh, why am I still alive?" He watched as the rocks smashed into the "Five-Colored Flame Luo Cover," and the colorful light suddenly began to spin rapidly. The noisy and dancing dust could not cover up this dazzling light.

The third type of terrain on the surface of Mars is the ordinary plain. Mountains, ridges, and circular craters cannot be seen at all. It seems to be a vast wilderness covered with sand or dust.

As soon as Li Qiang relaxed his mind, he immediately realized that he was completely naked. It turned out that after activating the "Purple Flame Heart", all his clothes had turned into ashes. He had just taken out a piece of clothing from his bracelet, without even opening the packaging, "poof," the clothing turned into ashes in a faint blue smoke. Li Qiang was dumbfounded.

Li Qiang curiously asked, "Brother Fu, is the technology of Fengyuan Star very advanced? How does it compare to Earth?"

As if to answer his prayer, there suddenly came a series of sharp whistles from a distance. Fu Shan stood up, frowned, and looked towards the distance. With a serious expression, he said, "Whoever is whistling, come over here!" His voice was not very loud, but it carried far and the sound waves exploded like an explosion, echoing everywhere with the words "come over...come over...come over..." It was truly astonishing.

Hmm, no feeling, the annoyance of my ancestors! I don't believe I can't figure it out!

One of them is a circular mountain, which is a lunar-shaped terrain.

He really got it right. A large piece collapsed and a huge rock fell from the cliff. Amidst the deafening roar, countless dust mixed with the "Five-Colored Flame Robe" and rushed downwards.

The armor was just put on, and the purple flame began to burn. The silver-white armor shimmered with a dazzling light. The purple flame rippled on the surface of the armor like flowing water. Gradually, the purple flame disappeared into the armor. The silver-white surface of the armor was adorned with a beautiful purple flame.

It is unknown how long had passed. Fu Shan slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a naked young man. His body, emitting purple flames, was pressed against a protective shield. He looked at himself eagerly, with his lower body's thing swaying carelessly. He shouted, "Thank goodness! Brother Fu, please open the door!"

You can, but you need to cultivate to the "Combining Stage" to have the ability to go back. The ancient teleportation array on Earth has long been destroyed. To return to Earth, you completely rely on your own cultivation level.

On the twentieth day in the afternoon, Fu Shan appeared in front of Li Qiang on time.

The shopping spree continued until the evening, and Li Qiang finally stopped his crazy shopping. He returned to the rented warehouse, put everything into the storage bracelet, and it was already past 11 pm when he returned to the hotel.

Fu Shan restrained his laughter and said, "Brother, the things brought from Earth are not usable now. If the true fire emitted by your 'Purple Flame Heart' cannot be controlled, it will burn whatever it touches."

Li Qiang knows his own bitterness. "Purple Flame Heart" regretted as soon as it started because he had no idea what to do next. He thought to himself, "Now this is a real headache. I don't know when Brother Fu will wake up. What should I do?"

Li Qiang's attempt to open the cola can went wrong. It turned out to be a memory stone, containing a large amount of information on item manufacturing methods, cultivation techniques, formations, and more. It's like a computer with abundant data.

Fu Shan was startled. Isn't this Li Qiang? He waved his hand and retracted the "Five-Colored Flame Robe". Li Qiang suddenly lost support and fell to the ground with a "plop".
