Chapter 38 The show begins
There was only one person left in the basement.
Lu Xixian began to set up an isolation circle to prevent outsiders from exploring.
After the arrangement was completed, he clapped his hands gently.
Then three portals filled with fire appeared around him.
Dan Chenzi, Silver Siren, and Gandalf came out one after another, and at the same time they also set their sights on the cultivation furnace.
"I have to say, Stark is indeed a genius."
"We thought the stove had not been restored for so long, but he only used it for more than a month."
"Ontology, can I call you a waste?"
Sir Yin walked around the Slimming Furnace several times, taunting Lu Xixian as he walked.
"Scolding him is equivalent to scolding yourself."
"Let's complete the final forging first. I still have a dimension waiting to be conquered!"
Taking out the Staff of Time, Gandalf prepares to prevent the unexpected.
Even if the forging fails, he can use the power of the gem to recover.
As for Dan Chenzi, he is preparing the secret medicine for carving.
When everything was ready, Lu Xixian and Sir Yin came to both sides of the self-cultivation furnace, and then said together.
"start!"
The pen moved around the dragon, and mysterious Qi lines were formed on the body of the furnace. The two of them finished the painting in one go, and the painting was quickly completed.
Finally, Dan Chenzi offered the Dan Fire, and the bright yellow flame began to burn the furnace body.
On the sidelines, Gandalf is always paying attention to the changes in the self-cultivation furnace. As long as there is a slight possibility of collapse, he will use the power of gems.
The waiting time was not long. When the carved lines disappeared, Dan Chenzi slowly put away the pill fire.
“Easier than I thought”
"You are so well prepared. If you still fail, it can only be said to be destiny."
"Are you going to use it now?"
The three of them looked at the main body, waiting for each other's response.
"It's not the right time, Dan Chenzi still needs time."
"The fun has just begun, and the alienated essence has not yet been harvested."
“I can still afford to wait.”
Sir Silver nodded after hearing this.
"It's the same here, I still need some time to prepare."
Gandalf responded in kind.
"I have conquered several dimensions, and the concentrated blood food is enough."
"But the power of that jade token is still undetectable. I'm going to collect some."
After a brief gathering and separation, Lu Xixian finally put away the self-cultivation furnace in front of her.
For him now, he is just waiting for the passage of time.
Stark Building.
With Tony's investment regardless of cost, most of the renovation of Stark Tower was finally completed, with only some external decorations left.
And now, the renovated top floor welcomes its first guests.
"Wow, is it too late for me to apply for a job at Stark Industries?"
Jessica looked at the surrounding furnishings and said to Tony beside her.
"Of course you're welcome, but Luke may not agree."
Tony pointed to Luke, who also made an angry expression.
Everyone knows the relationship between the two, but Jessica has been hiding it.
"Why do we need his consent?"
"A big guy with a head full of muscles"
Although she said that, she still hugged Luke's arm quietly.
Then, Tony took a few people to visit the new Stark Tower.
The topmost part is an apron that can park all types of aircraft on the market.
On the next floor is an assembly corridor that extends out, which is used for disassembling and donning Tony's suit.
At present, Tony's armor model is still on the Mark VI. It's not that he doesn't want to continue research, but that he has a new idea.
After initially learning the magic machine and mastering Qi, Tony was no longer satisfied with creating simple mechanical armor. He wanted to combine science and metaphysics.
This creates a unique armor, something Tony has been thinking about for a long time.
However, limited by the knowledge of Shen Ji Bai Lian, this idea is just a sketch.
In the spacious conference room, Matt and others were already seated, and now only people from SHIELD were left.
Downstairs, a black Hummer parked on the side of the road.
Then Nick Fury got out of the car first.
After him were Steve and Banner, as well as San Buran who came to make up the numbers.
As for Hawkeye, he is still performing his mission, and Black Widow, who has not been seen, also has her own responsibilities.
Only two of the current Avengers team are not in New York.
"Long time no see, Director Fury"
"Don't you look very good?"
Tony buttoned up his suit, stood up and shook hands with Nick.
"The same goes for you, Mr. Stark."
"Judging from the look on your face, a hospital bed should be prepared!"
Nick said with a smile on his face as he exerted force on his palms.
"You don't have to worry about it!"
With the same pressure on his palms, Tony also had a smile on his face.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the two people just shook hands, but in Steve's eyes, the palm of Tony's handshake was condensed with a lot of energy.
Pain came, and Nick's expression became a little out of control.
"I'm just waiting for you. The conference room is ahead and turn left."
Tony was the first to let go, still maintaining a decent smile.
Nick, on the other hand, had a gloomy look on his face. He felt that everything was out of his control.
In his original plan, Tony Stark was the most important member of the Avengers team.
This is not only because of the other party’s smart brain, but also because of the other party’s business achievements.
But during a certain conversation, the two broke up on bad terms.
The root of the disagreement is that Nick Fury wants to use the Avengers team as a firefighting team under SHIELD. Even if it is whitewashed as freedom and justice, this team must take orders from Nick Fury.
Tony Stark saw through this and refused.
At the same time, he corrected that unless the Avengers team could maintain absolute neutrality and not take orders from anyone, only then would he join.
Everyone has a position, even SHIELD.
Tony didn't want the Avengers to become a victim of politics, so he refused early.
This was also the idea provided to him by Lu Xixian.
If the other party doesn't intend to improve, then Tony would rather be a lone hero.
Or he could form a team of his own.
Thinking of the man who repaired the stove every day in his basement, Tony thought it was a good idea.
Tony is not the only one who has the same idea, Steve also has the same idea, but now is not the time to deal with this matter.
In the conference room, most of the city's heroes gathered.
They have different identities, different genders, and different professions, but they adhere to the same beliefs.
And now they are gathered together for the same goal.
“This is a new and unique product on the market, it appeared a month ago”
"But as I investigated, I found that it first appeared half a year ago!"
In front of Tony, a three-dimensional image began to appear. As areas were marked, New York initially only had a few red marks.
But as time went on, countless red marks began to spread.
Eventually it spread to Canada and Mexico.
Qin beast elixirs are divided into three grades on the market: Renyi, Ranyi, and Hujiao.
Among them, the human body only allows the user to have the advantages of some animals, such as the speed of a leopard, the strength of a bear, and the agility of a fox.
"This is sprinter Edward Breen, who had a mid-to-lower career record"
"But half a month ago, he broke the world record, three times."
On the video, a video of Edward Breen's competition appeared. On the screen, he was like an arrow running toward the finish line. The people behind him could only see his back.
Among them is the last world champion.
"Will this pass a urine test?"
After Danny finished speaking, he felt that he had been sloppy, this was not an ordinary unique product.
“Not only can you pass a urine test, but you can also pass other tests.”
"This is a cheating method that cannot be detected."
“And it’s not expensive.”
Tony said this and sighed in his heart.
Because this secret medicine brings human potential to a level that does not belong to it.
The current price of a human tiger is 100,000 US dollars. Later, Ran Yi will add an extra zero, and tiger dragon will add two zeros.
"The human wolf has such a role, but what about the latter two?"
Steve is more curious about the functions of the latter two.
"The latter two?"
"Of course it's even more magical!"
The image changed, and then a retired veteran appeared on the screen. The opponent's left leg was injured on the battlefield and was later amputated.
But half a month ago, the opponent appeared on the basketball court in perfect condition, with not only sound legs but even better physical strength than before.
"This is what Ran Yi does, limb regeneration!"
Tony was very surprised when he saw it for the first time, but when he thought of its side effects, his surprise turned into fear.
It depends on who can resist the temptation of limb regeneration.
"Salamander, starfish, gecko, octopus"
"These animals with limb regeneration are the source of Ran Yi's regeneration."
"Most people who take Ranyi at the same time are from middle-class families."
An investment that is not enough to bankrupt the family, but in exchange for a whole person, Ran Yi's influence is exerting its influence.
But when Tony revealed the role of the tiger dragon, not even the few people present could deal with it calmly.
Because it is an alternative form of immortality that breaks life span.
Watching the gray-haired old man in the picture turn into a young boy, Luke's throat felt dry.
"This is the most serious thing"
"How many people can withstand this kind of temptation?"
There were indeed only a few people, so Tony took out a list, which included purchase reports from various dignitaries, wealthy and famous ladies.
They even set up a secret club in private.
The name is Tiger Jiao.
"The lycanthropes are just a small problem, but those who buy tiger dragons are the big trouble."
"And Dan Chenzi is very good at business. The tiger dragon is not a one-time transformation, but needs to be taken for a long time."
"As long as you stop, your body will continue to age."
Tony can already imagine the resistance that will follow. This is a civilized society after all, and the connection between people is like a rope. If you pull it here, you will pull it back hard.
Spending time and effort on each other will never end unless the rope breaks.
But currently, the rope Tony and others are facing is a bit too thick.
"So in order to solve this problem, we still need to get rid of the source of Dan Chenzi first?"
As a detective, Jessica summed it up very well, but also brought up new questions.
Whether they can defeat Dan Chenzi.
Thinking of the previous encounters, people here didn't have much confidence.
"You can also think about it differently. I have a way to make people who take medicine return to normal first."
"We will work together to deal with Dan Chenzi later."
The sound that suddenly came to mind made everyone look at the person who came. It was Lu Xixian who had just arrived.
"What can you do?"
Nick, who had been silent until now, spoke.
"I returned to Penglai before"
"I begged three lotus seeds from the elders."
Pushing aside San Fang who was hugging him, Lu Xixian opened his right hand.
Inside are three golden lotus seeds.
