Chapter 158: The Peak of Qi Refining
The sea water quickly flooded up, and in the blink of an eye, it flooded the top of Ma Fan's head.
As if he had taken root on the beach, Ma Fan let the waves crash and remained motionless in place. At this moment, he had already held his breath, and the spars in his hands had already absorbed most of the aura. The epidermal cells of his body are like thousands of filters, constantly absorbing the aura of the seawater. Ma Fan was pleasantly surprised to find that the aura in this sea water was even richer than the aura in the air.
In the entire sea area, the aura in the sea water is like a silk silver thread, with Ma Fan as the center, and it is constantly converging towards him. After a while, Ma Fan felt that the sea water was gradually receding, he stood up and breathed a breath, plunged into the sea again, and walked towards the bottom of the sea.
It wasn't until he walked down two or three hundred meters that Ma Fan stopped and continued to close his eyes and cultivate.
Soon, the spirit stones in his hands were absorbed. The aura in the sea continued to converge towards him, pouring into his body.
I didn't see Ma Fan come out for a long time in August, so I couldn't help but catch a few sea fish to satisfy my hunger. Two seabirds that flew by out of curiosity also unfortunately became a meal in August.
August, who was catching a big fish flying in the air, was suddenly startled by the movement of the sea, only to see a column of water suddenly rise from the sea surface under him, and it looked at it, it turned out to be the owner who broke through the water, and rushed out of the sea, bringing out a huge column of water.
"Goo, goo!" August was excited, opened his mouth and spit out the big fish in his mouth, and swooped towards Ma Fan, forgetting that he was now a big bird.
As soon as Ma Fan looked up, he saw August's huge body rushing towards him, he laughed, and rolled over and got on August's back.
"Let's go, go back!" Ma Fan was excited, and directly urged August to fly into the air and fly in the direction of mountains and seas.
Along the way, August gradually rose high into the sky, flying like a phantom towards the north.
Maxar's headquarters building in San Francisco, USA. Ryder, who monitors space in East Asia, is sipping coffee and preparing for another boring night.
At this time, the lens of the monitoring satellite was switching to the sky over the city of Qiannan in Dahua.
"Oh my God, what is that? a bird? Even-bought karma, let me take a closer look......" On the wall in front of him, seven or eight large screens were displaying objects in the shape of birds that had always been golden. Ryder quickly clicked on the keyboard, and the numbers on the display kept jumping, showing the flight altitude of the big golden bird at this time. "Twelve thousand thousand five hundred and forty ....... 27,000 km....... Oh my God! it can't be!" Ryder counted as he looked at the numbers on the display, then clutched his head in disbelief.
"Wait, that bird is on its back...... There seems to be an object? What is that?" Ryder quickly adjusted the lens, and soon, the big bird's lens was zoomed in, and I have to say that Maxar's satellite detection technology is indeed leading the world, and the big bird in HD resolution is clearly displayed on the monitor. Although the camera is a little shaky, you can clearly see the appearance of the big bird at this time.
"Even, buy Ka, that...... Looks like a man, brunette, oriental man?" Ryder cried out. However, the satellite was from top to bottom, and due to the angle problem, only the back of the man was photographed. The man was now straddled on the back of the bird, and seemed to be carrying a satchel.
Ryder operated satellite surveillance and kept tracking the big bird. Unbeknownst to him, when he was about to reach the sky above the Dahua Mountains and Seas, the big bird suddenly descended rapidly, and disappeared in a short time.
This scene completely subverted Ryder's cognition. He quickly reported the matter to the top management of Maxar.
Soon, the video of the big golden bird carrying the oriental man spread to various intelligence agencies in the United States, and even NASA headquarters got the video.
The video caused an uproar in major institutions in the United States. "Could it be a new type of high-tech biological weapon developed by Dahua? God, it seems that we are 20 years behind Dahua!"
"At an altitude of 27,000 meters, the oxygen content in the air is no longer enough for birds to survive, this golden bird is probably not a real bird, is it possible that Dahua has made a new breakthrough in drone technology?"
"No, the bird on its back is obviously a human, since birds can't survive at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, why can? I don't think that person is a real human, maybe it's just one with birds, after all, it's a drone!"
"Notify the people over there immediately, and we must find a way to find out what is going on!"
However, the initiators of this whole thing, Ma Fan and August have returned to Villa No. 1 in Wolong Mountain at this time. Ma Fan had already dried the clothes on his body when he was on the road, but even so, there was still a faint smell of sea on the clothes.
"Brother, are you back?" Ma Xiaoya, who was about to go out, saw Ma Fan standing in the living room at a glance.
"You're back, are you going to work?" asked Marfan.
"Ah, brother, what does it smell like?" Ma Xiaoya approached Ma Fan and sniffed it, "Why is it a little fishy?"
When Ma Fan heard this, he raised his arm and sniffed: "Hehe, it's the smell of the sea." I just came back from the beach, look, that guy is panting!" Ma Xiaoya turned her head to see that August was standing on the windowsill, her long pointed mouth wide open, and she was panting out one by one. This road is one or two thousand kilometers, and Xiao Kunpeng is advancing rapidly, and the difference is that this time he carried Ma Fan so heavy and flew for more than an hour, which really exhausted it.
"What! you mean......" Ma Xiaoya was stunned.
"Yes, this guy is not bad, carrying me is much faster than taking a plane, but it's just too cold......" Ma Fan had just broken through to the peak of qi refining in the sea, and he needed to absorb the aura in the spar to consolidate the realm, but the spar he carried with him had already run out, so he had to speed up and rush back.
"Huh?" When Xiao Ya was still in shock, Ma Fan had already exhausted his room. August glanced at Xiaoya, shouted, and flew in behind Ma Fan.
Ma Fan took out a handful of spars and threw a few to August. He knew that this guy had consumed a lot just now, so he just gave it a few pieces as a reward. August took the spar, swallowed it contentedly, and then lay on the windowsill to carefully digest and absorb the aura of the spar.
Ma Fan didn't bother to change his clothes, sat down cross-legged, holding a handful of spars in each hand, and began to consolidate his cultivation at the peak of qi refining.
At this time, Ma Fan's divine sense had reached about 1,200 meters, and the strength of his entire body's aura was twice as strong as before.
In the living room, Long Qian was going down the stairs.
"Xiaoya, who were you talking to just now?"
"Sister-in-law, brother is back!"
"Really, where?" Long Qian looked around, but didn't see Ma Fan's shadow.
"When I went into the house, I smelled bad about the sea! By the way, he said that he flew back with him in August this time!"
"Really, strange, why did I call him this morning to turn off the phone!" Long Qian asked puzzled.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go first, do you want to wait for my brother for a while?"
"Ah, yes, you go first, I'll leave later. Liu Yizhi was sent to Huayin by Ma Fan, and Long Qian went to the company alone for the past two days.
Long Qian did it on the sofa, and after more than an hour, Ma Fan came out of the bedroom.
"Brother Fan!" As soon as Ma Fan came out, he heard Long Qian's voice coming from the living room downstairs.
"Qianqian, you haven't left yet?" Ma Fan wiped the drops from his hair with a towel as he went downstairs. Just now, he finished absorbing the aura in the spar and consolidating his cultivation at the peak of qi refining, and remembered what Xiao Ya said about the smell of the sea on his body, so he took another bath.
"I heard Xiaoya say that you are back, and I am waiting for you here. Long Qian stood up, gently hugged Ma Fan's waist, and pressed her face against Ma Fan's chest.
"I broke through this morning, and I was in a hurry to come back and get the spar to consolidate my cultivation," Ma Fan lowered his head and kissed Long Qian's forehead.
"Brother Fan, by the way, why did your phone turn off?"
Ma Fan then remembered that when he was practicing at the beach in the morning, he was submerged by the seawater, but he forgot that the mobile phone was not waterproof, and the mobile phone must have been in the water at that time and then turned off.
"My phone is estimated to have entered the seawater and turned off. Ma Fan said, let go of Long Qian, returned to the bedroom and took out the mobile phone to take a look, and sure enough, it couldn't be turned on.
"In this way, I'll go buy you a new one right away, you wait for me!" Long Qian finished speaking, and immediately prepared to go out.
"Wait a minute, let's go together, and by the way, I'll also go buy some medicinal herbs. "Ma Fan picked two large bottles of chalcedony on Wuzhi Mountain yesterday, and it is enough to refine one Zhuji Dan. He planned to buy other medicinal materials to refine the Zhuji Dan as soon as possible, because according to his cultivation progress, he might soon be able to impact the Zhuji Realm.
"Okay, dear!" Long Qian's heart couldn't help but jump. I haven't gone out with Ma Fan for a long time, during this time, Ma Fan is either practicing at home or has other things, and he has been busy with the affairs of Ma Fan's new company, and in recent days, he has been busy investigating the situation and movements of the Xu family in Shanhai, so except for the time at home, the two rarely go out together.
Ma Fan changed his clothes and was just about to go out with Long Qian, when he met Xiaofeng and Sister-in-law Liu, who came back from grocery shopping.
"Mr. Ma, are you back so soon?" Sister-in-law Liu and Xiaofeng asked at the same time.
Ma Fan nodded and asked Xiaofeng, "Did you practice yesterday?"
Xiaofeng nodded and said, "After Grandpa Liu taught me, I tried it yesterday and ....... Nothing happened. Saying that, Xiaofeng lowered her head embarrassedly.
"Nothing, take your time. Ma Fan patted Xiaofeng's shoulder and got into the Mercedes-Benz with Long Qian. August also followed Ma Fan and the others into the car.
"By the way, Qianqian, how is the matter of the Xu family?" Ma Fan suddenly remembered the matter of the Xu family and the Long family, so he asked.
"There is nothing abnormal in Shanhai at present, but recently Huang Haifa's group has become active again, Huang Haifa is the Xu family's force in Shanhai, specializing in underground business. I don't know what the Xu family is having. Long Qian said.
At present, the number one leader in Shanhai City is Long Zhenhai, and the Xu family has not yet targeted Long Zhenhai, or the Xu family has no plans to do it at present.
"Nothing, just wait and see. "Ma Fan is actually more concerned about the personal safety of the Long family. As for the Long family's industry, power or something, Ma Fan doesn't plan to pay attention to it for the time being.
As long as the Long family is safe and sound, even if all the industries are lost, there is a chance to make a comeback.
The two came to a mobile phone business hall and quickly chose a mobile phone. As soon as the salesman changed Ma Fan's mobile phone card into a new mobile phone and turned it on, a call came in.
"Sir, I have your phone!" The salesman looked at the handsome man and woman in front of him with a face, and said in his heart: "I don't know where the two handsome guys and beauties came from, they just killed those popular stars and Internet celebrities in seconds!
Long Qian didn't care about the hot gaze of the female saleswoman looking at her and Ma Fan, but together with the salesperson's young lady, she looked at Ma Fan's handsome side in a daze.
