"Babbled..."
In the bathroom, warm water evenly washed on Li Ping'an's well-balanced and strong body.
Li Ping'an looked at his intact back in the mirror. It seemed that his back was not injured at all. He felt excited but helpless at the same time.
The mysterious stone had the magic power of healing wounds indeed.
However, the price was too high.
To heal the wounds on his back, Li Ping'an used six bottles of five-star Nutrition Drop.
What did this mean?
According to the lowest rate, Li Ping'an cost sixty million Walt coins to heal his wounds this time.
He didn't pay a penny for the six bottles of the five-star Nutrition Drop since they were given by Jiang Zhiyan and Ms. Hong, but these were debts of gratitude, which were more difficult to pay back than money.
Not to mention that both Jiang Zhiyan and Ms. Hong paid a lot for him in previous matters.
"Forget it. What happened cannot be undone. I shall not think too much about it. My body has recovered, and I regained my most precious wealth. The Liu Family and the Wan Family, I will make you pay back what you owed me."
"I shall have a rest first, and then I will explore the secrets of the space of the mysterious stone."
Li Ping'an wore a pair of shorts after taking a shower. He sat on the bed with his legs crossed, entering the peaceful meditative state.
He was eager to revenge on the Liu Family and the Wan Family, wishing to make them pay the heaviest price for their arrogance and bossiness.
However, Li Ping'an knew clearly that he was no match for that two families for now.
As the old saying went, "Haste makes waste."
Perhaps he would be taken in by them if he acted now.
They were powerful, but he was young, which was his biggest advantage.
Soon, Li Ping'an's consciousness connected with the space of the mysterious stone. He was about to explore inside the space.
"Huh!"
His whole body entered the space of the mysterious stone.
This time, Li Ping'an's feeling was even pure.
Because he was sitting on a flat stone, wearing his shorts only.
Overhead, the mysterious stone seemed to be fueled by the six bottles of five-star Nutrition Drop. It was restored to its previous tall and great state, and there was mysterious golden light that flew inside.
However, the sky around it seemed to become brighter, more distant, deeper, and more mysterious.
"It's true."
"The mysterious stone is powerful, but I must pay a lot if I want to benefit from it."
Li Ping'an squinted, and he remembered a series of fragments.
He took a short rest, and then he checked the surroundings carefully, but nothing changed much. Suddenly, he remembered the small pool.
He hurried to check it.
Sure enough, the speed of water drops on the upper of the pool was much faster than before, and the melody of dripping was very fast.
Li Ping'an felt he even didn't need to drink the water from the pool. The air around it contained huge mysterious energy.
Even he didn't do anything here, breathing here would make him feel comfortable.
"There isn't much water in the pool now. I am tired today, and I shall not drink it now. Stay here and do some meditation will be good enough."
While thinking, Li Ping'an sat on a flat stone by the pool with his legs crossed. He got down to meditation without fuss soon.
His life had come to a point that he had to make a choice. He must think twice before he took the step.
...
While Li Ping'an was in a comfortable meditative state, in the ward of the First Hospital, the Liu Family didn't go to bed yet. The atmosphere here was quite serious.
Liu Haishan's eyes were dull. He stared at the murky night outside the window. It seemed that he became much older.
He didn't imagine that the result was still beyond his endurance, even the Wan Family helped him.
He had strived for decades, but now all his wealth became the penalty in a flash. The fact that his beloved son would have no future was like a sharp knife stabbed into his heart, making it bleed endlessly.
By the side, Liu Qingyao, who had a slim but hot body, was not happy either. Her enchanting big eyes were filled with coldness.
She didn't expect that she had resorted to the powerful relationship of the Wan Family, but the suckling girl of the Jiang Family was so stubborn that she just wanted to hound the Liu Family to death.
Even though Liu Qingyao wanted to have a life-and-death fight with Jiang Zhiyan, the power she could put to use was limited since she was not the daughter-in-law of the Wan Family yet.
Besides, to a large extent, even if the Jiang Family was weaker than the Wan Family, it would not be that much. The Wan Family couldn't get entangled with the Jiang Family all the time.
In the current situation, the Wan Family was good enough since they made great efforts to save the Liu Family.
Liu Qingyao could only bury this resentment at the bottom of her heart!
"Pa!"
Liu Haishan lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. Maybe he was choked. His eyes were full of tears, "I have been doing business throughout my life. I have met different people and experienced all kinds of ups and downs during the past decades. I didn't expect that I would lose to the poor lad named Li Ping'an! Even Qingyun... How hateful!"
Liu Haishan pounded the table hard.
Liu Qingyao said in a low voice, "Dad, don't be too sad. Although we encountered some trouble now, fortunately, the foundation is still preserved. Qingyun had drank the Dark Level Energy Drop. According to the current science and technology, together with the Wan Family's help, he still has the chance to get recovered in the future."
"Dad, please rest assured. I will not let off the lad named Li Ping'an. I will make him pay the price. He must know what is waiting for him to offend us."
This was Liu Haishan's intention. Li Ping'an must not be spared!
However, when he saw his sweet girl responded like this, he was startled. He said immediately, "My dear daughter, Li Ping'an is nobody. What he replies on is the power of the Jiang Family. At this time, it is not easy to get things settled down. You can't act recklessly. We can't undertake any mishaps now."
"Ho."
Liu Qingyao smiled. Her big eyes stretched, and her delicate nose was so cocky. Her tender lips were so attractive. She looked like a bunch of pear flowers in full bloom. She was stunning.
No wonder the arrogant elder son of the Wan Family was besotted with her and would marry no one but her.
"Dad, don't you worry. I know what to do. Let's lie down before the dust has settled and let the poor lad live a few more days."
...
In the early morning, bars of sunlight slanted down to the room. The small but warm bedroom was full of vitality on a new day.
"Huh!"
All of a sudden, the air waved. A familiar and swarthy figure of a young boy suddenly appeared on the bed.
If this were seen by others, they could be frightened to death.
The young boy felt comfortable and fresh. Each cell in his body was at ease.
This time, Li Ping'an set an alarm o'clock, so he got out on time. As the clock rang, he rushed out immediately in case that he would miss some important matters again.
However, during the meditation by the small pool last night, Li Ping'an found out a big secret.
The benefit of meditation was much better than the sleep of a whole night.
He only meditated for more than three hours last night, but it seemed that he had slept for several days. He felt so energetic and comfortable.
"The power of the space of the mysterious stone might be much stronger than I thought. But it is so obscure and profound. I'm afraid it will take me a lot of time to get it all figured out."
"However, the mysterious stone is my private property for sure. I don't need to make it haste. I'd better deal with the matters at hand first."
While thinking of that, Li Ping'an got up and took a shower.
He suddenly realized that the disgusting hunger had been suppressed a lot. Perhaps, it was because of the meditation of last night.
After washing and brushing, Li Ping'an carefully looked at the home that he had lived for more than ten years. Then he started to pack up quietly.
Sometimes, it was difficult to make a choice.
Especially when the choice would change your current familiar environment and your future would become uncertain.
Lanhai City was a good place. It was suitable for people to live there. But Li Ping'an knew it was not the best choice for him to start his way of becoming the powerhouse.
If he wanted to become stronger, he could only expose himself to a more competitive and crueler world where he could practice and promote himself with his instinct.
Otherwise, how could he compete with these talents whose goals were also the Hyphalosaurus Group of Yanjing University in the future?
When he discussed with Ms. Hong last night, Ms. Hong offered Li Ping'an several choices or directions.
One was the Hanjiang City in Jiangnan, another was Nanyun City which was on the further south side and was surrounded by huge mountains, and the other was the Tianfu City which was in the hinterland of Shu.
Ms. Hong had friends in the Underground Alliance of those three cities. Besides, there were a lot of Adventurers teams who could take care of Li Ping'an, and he could choose a better team at the same time.
Li Ping'an didn't make his choice at that time. He keenly noticed a key point in Ms. Hong's proposal.
There were well-known mountains and rivers around the three cities.
Ms. Hong planned to explain to Li Ping'an later since she didn't expect that Li Ping'an was so keen. Now she could only explain to him in advance.
The real taboos of the wilderness existed exactly in these famous mountains and rivers.
There were a lot of powerful beasts, which might not be any weaker than these powerhouses who were above the Awakening Stage.
These famous mountains and rivers were the biggest secret in the world!
Even those financial groups and the government didn't have enough information about it.
"The choices Ms. Hong suggested are good, but I don't want to be so far away from Lanhai City. It's a difficult choice. Perhaps I should refer to the opinions of Mr. Wang. At least, I should beat around the bush. After all, the famous mountains and rivers in the north are not less than in the south."
While thinking, Li Ping'an picked up the communication gadget, and he wanted to tell Mr. Wang in advance and to see if he could have a private talk with him as soon as possible.
However, he suddenly found that someone sent him a lot of attractive photos.
Obviously, these photos were without too much modification. They were full of the flavor of life, but they were just perfect.
When Li Ping'an saw the name of the sender, he was taken aback instantly even though he was strong-willed.
