Taking drugs makes you invincible, and the alien world is swept up in tears

On Baoer's slightly pale face, her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she felt the warmth of the sun, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Bao'er, you're finally awake!" Li Qiankun's voice was filled with unconcealed excitement. He rushed to the bedside and hugged Bao'er tightly. The sound of his heartbeat and Bao'er's breathing intertwined, forming a symphony of life.

The old Taoist priest, Zhang Chulan, and the others rushed over upon hearing the noise. Seeing this scene, they felt a mixture of emotions. They were happy that Bao'er had woken up, moved by Li Qiankun's affectionate embrace, but at the same time, they were filled with worry about Bao'er's future.

However, when Baoer looked around in confusion, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, everyone's heart sank. She didn't remember anyone, including Li Qiankun who had just hugged her.

"Qiankun, don't be too sad. Bao'er will remember it one day." The old Taoist priest patted Li Qiankun's shoulder, trying to comfort him. But Li Qiankun's eyes were full of helplessness and determination. He knew that Bao'er's amnesia would not be cured in a short time.

After everyone dispersed, the old Taoist priest called Li Qiankun to the rooftop and asked him how to save Baoer. Li Qiankun was silent for a moment, and finally said slowly: "I have integrated the way of heaven."

Upon hearing this, the old Heavenly Master was so shocked that he nearly fell over. He stared at Li Qiankun with wide eyes and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you crazy? Merging with the Heavenly Dao means you will lose yourself and become part of it! If you do this, you will never be able to return to the human world again!"

Li Qiankun smiled bitterly, his eyes gleaming with determination: "I know, but this is the only way to save Baoer. I am willing to give everything I have in exchange for her life."

The old Taoist priest was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and patted Li Qiankun on the shoulder: "You kid, you are always so impulsive. But remember to keep it a secret and don't let others know this secret. Otherwise, it will cause unnecessary panic and chaos."

Li Qiankun nodded, indicating that he understood. The old Taoist priest reaffirmed his decision, and Li Qiankun said firmly, "I have made up my mind. There is nothing left for me in this world except Baoer. As long as she is alive and well, I will be satisfied."

The old Taoist priest looked at Li Qiankun's resolute face, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart. He felt sorry for Li Qiankun's sacrifice, but also admired his courage. He patted Li Qiankun's shoulder again and whispered, "Are you really willing to give up?"

Li Qiankun smiled bitterly, tears glistening in his eyes: "What if I'm willing to give it up, what if I'm not willing to give it up? I have no choice. As long as I can save Baoer, I'm willing to pay any price."

After Baoer woke up, she began a new life. She didn't recognize anyone, including Li Qiankun, who once loved her deeply. Wu Gensheng took her to live an ordinary life, shopping, eating, and sleeping every day, as if nothing had happened. Baoer's eyes occasionally flashed with confusion and doubt, but she quickly adapted to this peaceful and simple life.

Zhang Chulan and the others also returned to their original life tracks, as if nothing had happened. They occasionally mentioned Baoer and Li Qiankun's names, but more often they prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that they would have a good ending.

Li Qiankun, on the other hand, announced that he would go into seclusion, preparing to merge with the Heavenly Dao. This news caused an uproar among the crowd, who were all worried and reluctant to let him go. However, Li Qiankun appeared unusually calm and resolute, as if he had made sufficient preparations.

The night before his retreat, Li Qiankun sat alone in his room, staring out the window at the starry sky. His heart was filled with uncertainty about the future and a deep longing for Baoer. He knew he would never return to the human world, but he had no regrets.

Everyone expressed concern and worry about Li Qiankun's decision, but Zhang Chulan seemed unconcerned. He believed Li Qiankun's choice was based on his true feelings and Baoer's needs. He silently wished Li Qiankun and Baoer a happy ending.

One evening, not long after Li Qiankun's retreat, Wu Gensheng and Bao'er were walking down the street. Suddenly, they saw a familiar figure—Li Qiankun. He stood across the street, watching them quietly.

"Bao'er, do you think that man is Qiankun?" Wu Gensheng pointed at Li Qiankun and asked. But Bao'er shook his head, his eyes filled with strangeness and indifference: "I don't know him."

Wu Gensheng looked at Bao'er with some surprise, a strange feeling of sadness welling up in his heart. He knew that Bao'er had completely forgotten Li Qiankun and the good times they had once shared. But he also understood that this was an unchangeable fact and he could only accept it silently.

Li Qiankun stood across the street, watching Baoer and Wu Gensheng walk away. His heart was filled with helplessness and bitterness, but he knew this was the path he had chosen. He silently wished Baoer and Wu Gensheng the best, hoping they could live a happy life.

At this moment, Wu Gensheng suddenly turned around and walked towards Li Qiankun. He walked up to Li Qiankun, patted him on the shoulder, and said appreciatively: "You did a good job. Although Baoer has forgotten you, your sacrifice and dedication are worth it. You are a real man!"

Li Qiankun was slightly stunned, then revealed a bitter smile. He looked at Wu Gensheng's resolute face, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that Wu Gensheng was comforting him and also recognizing him. He whispered, "Thank you. Although I have lost Baoer's memory, I know she will always be in my heart. As long as she is happy, I will be satisfied."

Upon hearing this, Wu Gensheng's eyes flashed with admiration and emotion. He held Li Qiankun's hand tightly and said firmly, "Bao'er will always be yours. Whether she remembers you or not, you are one of the most important people in her life. Your sacrifice and dedication will always be remembered in our hearts."

"I know." Li Qiankun said softly, with a firm light in his eyes, "I will take good care of her." His words revealed his deep commitment to Baoer, as if he was making a promise to Wu Gensheng and also swearing to himself.

Wu Gensheng nodded slightly when he heard this, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. However, this relief was quickly interrupted by Li Qiankun's next words.

"I'm here this time, actually... to say goodbye." Li Qiankun suddenly said, breaking the silence. Although his voice was calm, the determination contained in it was impossible to ignore.

Wu Gensheng frowned slightly upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Goodbye? Where are you going?" he asked doubtfully, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

Li Qiankun took a deep breath and explained, "I'm going to practice in seclusion. This retreat may take a long time, so... I wanted to say goodbye to you."

Wu Gensheng was silent for a moment, seemingly digesting this sudden news. He looked at Li Qiankun, his eyes filled with both worry and confusion. "Practice in seclusion? Are you sure this is the best option?" he asked, a hint of hesitation in his voice.

Li Qiankun nodded, his eyes more determined. "Yes, I am sure. This is what I must do to improve my strength, to protect Baoer, and to complete our mission."

Wu Gensheng looked at Li Qiankun's determined eyes, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He understood that Li Qiankun's decision was not impulsive, but the result of careful consideration. So, he nodded slowly and said, "Retreat and practice is a good thing. Don't worry, I will take good care of Baoer here."

However, Wu Gensheng felt that there was something else hidden in Li Qiankun's words. He recalled the moment when Li Qiankun saved Bao'er, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart. He knew that Li Qiankun must have paid a heavy price to save Bao'er.

"You paid a considerable price to save Baoer, right?" Wu Gensheng suddenly asked, with a hint of concern in his voice.

Li Qiankun was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, but I won't regret it." His voice was firm and powerful, as if he was trying to prove his determination to Wu Gensheng.

Wu Gensheng looked at him, his heart filled with gratitude and respect. He knew that Li Qiankun was a trustworthy person and a person worth entrusting. So, he said solemnly: "If you need any help, just tell me. I will do my best to help you."

Li Qiankun shook his head, a faint smile on his face. "No, I can do it myself. Besides, I believe the company will provide the necessary support." His tone was full of confidence, as if he was fully prepared.

Wu Gensheng's admiration for Li Qiankun deepened upon hearing this. He knew that Li Qiankun was a man of unwavering conviction and immense strength. He nodded again and said, "Well, since you've made up your mind, I won't say any more. I wish you a smooth retreat and a speedy return."

Li Qiankun glanced at Wu Gensheng gratefully, then nodded slightly. "Thank you. I'll find you if I need anything." With that, he turned and left, embarking on his journey of seclusion and cultivation.

In the days after Li Qiankun left, Tang Yingjie, Zhao Tiezhu, Li Qiushui, Wang Chongyang, and Sun Kong continued to have in-depth exchanges in Jia Village. They met many powerful people and gained a deeper understanding of the art of refining weapons.

Tang Yingjie stood at the village entrance, gazing at the endless mountains in the distance, his heart filled with emotion. He recalled the days he had spent interacting with the master refiners from Jiajia Village. Those days seemed like a dream, yet so real. The refining hammer in his hand seemed to grow heavier, filled with power.

"Yingjie, it's time for us to leave." Zhao Tiezhu's voice broke Tang Yingjie's thoughts. He turned around and saw that the four of them had already packed their bags and were ready to leave.

"Well, it's time to leave." Tang Yingjie nodded, put the refining hammer in his pocket, and embarked on a new journey with the four of them. They knew that although they had left Jiajia Village, the experiences here would be forever engraved in their hearts.

Before leaving, Tang Yingjie reviewed his experiences in Jia Village. Through his interactions with the villagers, he not only strengthened his refining skills but also compared the Tang Sect's refining techniques with those of the Jia Family, identifying his own shortcomings. He believed that if he returned to the Tang Sect, he would be the undisputed leader among his fellow disciples.

At the same time, he also deeply realized the breadth and depth of the art of "weapon refining." He understood that to go further on this path, he must continue to learn and improve. Thus, he secretly made up his mind to apply what he learned into practice and continuously improve his refining skills.

Just as the five were about to leave Jiajia Village, a black car slowly drove up and stopped at the village entrance. The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie stepped out. He smiled and walked respectfully towards the five people.

"Mr. Li Qiankun, I am the contact person sent by the company." The middle-aged man said with a hint of respect in his voice.

The five people were surprised when they heard this, but soon they regained their composure. They knew that the company had been paying attention to their itinerary and providing them with necessary assistance.

"So you are the company's receptionist. You have worked so hard." Li Qiu Shui said with a smile, a hint of gratitude in her voice.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly in gratitude. "You're welcome. This is my duty. Please get in the car. We'll be leaving soon."

The five of them smiled at each other and then got into the car. As the car started, they left Jiajia Village and embarked on a new journey.

In the car, the five began to discuss their plans. They knew that even though the company had provided them with a pick-up service, the journey ahead was still full of unknowns and challenges. Therefore, they decided to strengthen their cooperation and communication to jointly meet the challenges ahead.

"This retreat is a great opportunity for Qian Kun," Wang Chongyang said. "I believe he will become even more powerful when he comes out."

"That's right," Zhao Tiezhu agreed. "And we've also learned a lot from this exchange. We must digest this knowledge well when we return."

"Yeah." Tang Yingjie nodded...
