'Huh? What's the benefits in consuming these beast cores. Will it help me to get strong?' thought Liu Gang and decided to read in the library about the beast cores.
After a few minutes, they finally arrived at the capital. They parked the carriage at the nearby the gates and paid 6 silver coins. Then they looked around for clothes.
"Sir, what clothes do you want, I will send it right away." said a man who sells clothes that are made of silk.
" I want 10 shirts and 10 pants. In my size." said the Liu Gang.
"That would be 20 silver coins, sir." said the man and smiled. Revealing his yellow teeth.
Liu Gang paid the man without a change of expression and get the pack. He then looked around while asking the system.
'System, can you detect any materials that can be used in my cultivation?'
[ I can detect them by using my ability. I will warn Host if I detect any]
'Thank you system.' said Liu Gang in his mind and smile.
Li Chen looked at the 'cold' boy and saw that he smile. He wondered. Based on his own observation, Liu Gang was always cold or expressionless.
'What makes this kid smile. Are aliens attacking his mind?' thought Li Chen.
'Whatever. I don't care as long as he will agree to me to teach him.' said Li Chen in his mind and saw that Liu Gang walked around again with his expressionless face.
Li Chen hurriedly followed him and decided to tell Liu Gang in the afternoon his plans.
Meanwhile, Liu Gang walked around while waiting if the system detected any. He soon go to one of the man that was selling artifacts and the system rang.
[Red Phoenix Fire Flower artifact detected. Can be used to unlock Skill Phoenix Fury]
After hearing the system, Liu Gang go to the merchant quickly.
"Sir, how much is this?" asked Liu Gang while showing the beautiful red flower artifact.
"10 gold, sir." said the merchant while smiling. He was hoping for the kid to go away and but the kid paid him without a change of his expression.
Liu Gang went to looked around again hoping that the system would detect something but the system didn't detect any.
Sighing, he went to the restaurant nearby to eat. Li Chen followed him but didn't sit and stand next to him.
"Li Chen, come and sit here. You should eat too." said Liu Gang while looking at the menu and ordered his food.
Li Chen sat and smile. He also ordered also his food. After a few minutes, their food arrived. Liu Gang and Li Chen ate and go in the carriage. Liu Gang and Li Chen get in the carriage and returned to Liu Gang's home. Liu Gang looked at Li Chen and curiosity picked in.
'System, what is the stats of Li Chen?' asked Liu Gang and a hologram appeared.

When Liu Gang read it, his jaws dropped. What the heck! He looks like in his twenties. Yet, he is already 250 years. However, Liu Gang closed his mouth and stared at Li Chen. He then speak with a cold voice.
"How can an Immortal Dao Cultivator is here? What are your motives?" said Liu Gang while preparing his sword. He know that when Li Chen attacked, he cannot defeat him, but atleast, there was a hope for him to escape.
"Don't worry, I only wanted to teach you skills and how to use them. Then, I will not bother you again." said Li Chen and remembered that his friend is also cautious person.
"Thank you for your consideration." said Liu Gang as he looked directly at Li Chen's eyes and never find any trace of lie in his eyes. He relaxed but didn't let his guard down. The whole carriage was quiet until Li Chen spoke.
"I know that you suspect me for any motives but I'm telling you, believe me or not, I only wanted someone to inherit my skills before I travel in the other places." said Li Chen and smiled.
Liu Gang looked at Li Chen and nod his head he stopped gripping his sword and looked at the window. He already knows that Li Chen is telling the truth.
Li Chen can make the general believe him that he is grandson and is already at Immortal Dao Cultivator that can crush Liu Gang like an ant but didn't do anything until now.
When Li Chen saw his reaction, he surely knows that this is like his friend. Cold and smart. He pondered for a bit until Li Chen asked,
"Liu Gang, do you know that woman? You looked coldly at her as if she was a bitch."
Liu Gang looked at him and the temperature of the carriage dropped.
"She is totally a bitch." shortly said Liu Gang and looked back at the window.
"Yeah, I remembered someone that reassembled her. That woman is also a bitch. He made my friend suffer and also made him kicked out of their house. My friend also have the same name as you." said Li Chen.
Liu Gang's heart skipped a beat. He knows that only his friend know his story.
"Li Guiying?" questioned Liu Gang.
Li Chen stared at Liu Gang. His heart also skipped a beat.
"Yang Chao?" also questioned Li Chen.
A quietness followed after that, then a burst of laughter.
_____________________________
Liu Gang's name when he was still staying in his family is Yang Chao. When he was a kid and his mother is still living, his mother encouraged him to study so that he can help his father when he became a businessman.
When he was in the middle school, he was always the no. 1 that go to the office. Why? Because he used to be a bit pesky in his high school days. But girls still fawn at him for being handsome and rich. Although he is always messing around, he still managed to have the highest score in their class.
When he was in high school, he decided to live in a dorm because his mother already died and his father remarried. So instead of being beaten, he lived in a dorm.
Soon, Li Guiying appeared. He was also a bit handsome but he is poor. His parents left him when he was 10 and he began to stand in his own. He was smart so he applied for scholarship.
Liu Gang was his first friend. Soon, when they began to know each other, he found out that Liu Gang was rich so he pondered if he should tell him about his real identity.
He decided that he will tell him because he was used in being alone. What else would he lose. When he tell Liu Gang what his family's origin, instead of mocking him, Liu Gang comforted him.
He began to found out that Liu Gang's mother was dead and his father remarried. He then become to know that Liu Gang was always beaten by his father and neglected so they become to familiarize themselves with each other.
He once saw that Liu Gang was crying while holding a picture. It was him, his father, and his mother. He comforted him until he felt asleep. He found a drawing with x mark on it. It was a drawing of a woman and a little girl.
He asked Liu Gang about it and he said that it was the bitch that ruined his life. At first, he became inloved with the girl but when Liu Gang said that it was his step-sister, he began to hate her.
They were together in better and worse situation. They are both nature lovers and adventure seekers so that helped them to be close. They attended all the activities in survival clubs like camping, hunting, and others.
When they have a birthday, they celebrated it but only the two of them. Liu Gang was neglected and didn't have allowance so they both have a part-time job.
In summer, they both waved goodbye and promised each other to go in the same university again. They are both 16 in that they because Li Guiying was older in one day than Liu Gang.
But a terrible incident happened after that day. Liu Gang was kicked out of the house not even getting time to change his clothes and get his money.
He go to the orphanage because he was afraid that his father will ruin Li Guiying's life because of him. When he was already 18, he fled from the orphanage because he doesn't tolerate being tortured.
He soon went to Li Guiying's house. When he saw him, he immediately hugged him because he missed him. He planned to go to the military so that he could train his weak body.
Liu Gang knew that he couldn't do anything being weak. When Li Guiying came to know his plan, he joined him. They both changed their names.
Li Guiying's name became Li Chen because Liu Gang explained to him that Liu Gang's father can find him unless he changed his identity. Soon, they train themselves and became military officers. They both became the outstanding in their group so they became the leaders of different squad.
However, this changed Liu Gang's personality. He became cautious, cold, and indifferent. But he didn't ignore Li Chen.
Soon, Li Chen found a girlfriend. Although Liu Gang did hate woman, he never argue with Li Chen just because of the woman. But when Li Chen is resting after they are done with their mission, his girlfriend broke up with him saying that he was cheating.
Li Chen couldn't accept the reason so he go in his ex house and spied. He began to know that his girlfriend was cheating on him. He cannot accept it so he hanged himself leaving Liu Gang a message to never trust anyone.
Li Chen's death almost made Liu Gang commit suicide too. But his comrades stopped him. He mourn for Li Chen in a week without eating but only drinking.
After mourning for his best friend, he avenged Li Chen. He tortured the woman that caused Li Chen to commit suicide. He cut her fingers one by one, then he cut her arms, he proceeded to cut her body part one by one. At last, he burned her alive.
