PDLP Chapter 14 Li Ma's Surprise
Chapter 14 Li Ma's Surprise
When Li's father discovered early on that his son lacked talent in cultivation, he was determined to have Li Muyang help him with research. Li's mother had a similar attitude. However, Li Muyang knew his own limitations. He was good at rote memorization, but when it came to real research, he was afraid he really wouldn't be able to do it!
If things continue like this, I'm afraid I'll be living in my father's shadow for the rest of my life.
It was because his parents were so strong, coupled with his constant worry about his mother's past injuries and his own frequent bad luck, that Li Muyang decided to choose medicine.
However, it seems there's no escaping it.
Fine, then accept it. Li Muyang didn't think there was anything wrong with accepting his parents' blessings. As long as he didn't occupy public resources, break the law, or pretend to be rich, why shouldn't he take it? He would eventually put these benefits into action.
Sometimes, Li Muyang was unwilling to accept arrangements simply because he felt unworthy of them and couldn't bear the responsibility.
He summoned the Shennong Beast, and the little white fox—Li Muyang had only waved the gourd in front of her for a moment, and she had already crawled inside.
Seeing the Shennong Beast emerge from Li Muyang's body, Li's mother, Xiao Xuanyan, and Liu Liqun both raised their eyebrows. What was the origin of this spirit beast? How could it hide inside someone else's body? Clearly, this was not the ability of a beast tamer to combine with a spirit beast.
Because Li Muyang's appearance has not changed at all.
They hadn't sensed it at all! The aura of the spirit beast before them wasn't even at the Golden Core stage, yet they hadn't felt a thing while it was hidden within Li Muyang's body? It was understandable that Liu Liqun, who was only at the Nascent Soul stage, couldn't sense it, but even Xiao Xuanyan, who was at the peak of the Integration stage, couldn't sense it?
"Sister Xiao, has your son struck gold?" Liu Liqun exclaimed in astonishment.
Xiao Xuanyan also stammered, "Don't ask me, I don't know where this kid came from either... Wait a minute!"
Li's mother suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Xiao Wang from the police station told him that Li Muyang had been kicked into a long-dried-up well by a spirit ox. When the officers went down to rescue him, they found a glowing jade seal in his hand, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When asked about it later, Li Muyang said he didn't know what had happened either, guessing that his colleague had misread it.
(Now it seems I wasn't mistaken!) Li Ma thought to herself, a thought flashing through her mind: Could her son have really found the Imperial Seal of the State? This jade spirit beast is clearly no ordinary creature!
While Li Ma and Chairman Liu were chatting, Li Muyang had already tricked Shennong Beast into the Spirit Beast Gourd, and Li Muyang himself also entered the Spirit Beast Gourd. In a vast farm, a little white fox hopped and skipped to Li Muyang's front.
"Brother, brother~" a childish voice came from the little white fox: "Hungry~ Hungry~"
Li Muyang, both amused and exasperated, took out the spiritual liquid, picked up the little white fox again, and fed it to her. He then asked the Shennong Beast, "How is it? Does it feel alright here?"
“Not bad, at least it’s much more comfortable than staying inside you.” Shennong Beast nodded, pretending to be very mature and steady, and commented: “Muyang, your strength is too weak right now. Staying inside you, I have to control the absorption of spiritual energy, otherwise, I might accidentally drain you dry.”
(This tormenting little devil) Li Muyang smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Okay, it's my fault for being too weak, but there's nothing I can do. After all, it's only been a few days since my talent improved. If I wasn't in a hurry to try the transmigration, I should have honestly cultivated for a while first."
"Alright, since there are no objections, let's go out first. Don't keep Mom and Uncle Liu waiting too long."
Having said that, Li Muyang and the Shennong Beast reappeared outside, carrying the little white fox.
Seeing Li Muyang emerge from the gourd, Li's mother naturally asked how he felt.
"Amazing, really amazing. I always wonder what kind of monsters are going through my dad's head." Li Muyang teased and complained at the same time. The father and son were not the type who rarely saw each other throughout the year, because Li's father had built a portal in the laboratory that led directly to their home.
This is why it's extremely difficult for spies from various factions to get in touch with him; Li's father lives a completely different life, going between home and the lab every day! Even in this world, spatial abilities are incredibly rare and powerful, and Li's father can be said to possess countless powerful buffs!
His laboratory was heavily guarded, and no one could enter without his permission. It was strong enough to withstand a day and night of attack from a peak Mahayana cultivator, including Li Muyang and his mother! It was also for their safety that some things in Li's father's laboratory were indeed extremely dangerous! If they were not careful, most of China might be wiped out.
"Mom, there's something I want to try," Li Muyang said, pointing to the Shennong Beast.
Li Ma was taken aback: "What do you want to try?"
Without explicitly stating it, Li Muyang glanced at the Shennong Beast, and instantly, with their minds in sync, the beast transformed into a stream of light, becoming the Shennong Ruler, which landed in Li Muyang's palm. The little white fox, having finished drinking the spiritual liquid, let out a burp, and as if understanding Li Muyang's thoughts, it transformed into a stream of light and flowed into Li Muyang's body.
As the battle was about to end, Li Muyang's aura didn't change much, but Li's mother and Liu Liqun sensed a subtle and unusual aura.
The power of life!
With a wave of Li Muyang's hand, the Shennong Ruler emitted a strong yet gentle light that was not dazzling, but rather gave a warm and comfortable feeling.
As the only two eyewitnesses at the scene, or rather, the main targets of the light, Li Ma and Liu Liqun were able to personally feel this power, and most importantly...
"Ah! That feels so good!" Liu Liqun couldn't help but exclaim.
Li Ma, who was standing to the side, closed her eyes and gradually restrained her aura, but her face gradually turned ashen. After a long time, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood!
"Huh?!" Li Muyang was startled by what he saw. Just as he was about to end the treatment, he heard Li's mother say, "I'm fine! If you can continue, then continue!"
Hearing his mother say this, and seeing that her complexion was clearly improving, Li Muyang didn't dare to stop and continued to use the healing light.
Liu Liqun realized something and hurriedly turned on his communication device, saying to the monitoring room, "Turn off the surveillance... no! Delete today's footage! Delete it completely! Delete it from the database! Do you hear me?"
Li Muyang didn't know how much time had passed, but his arms were starting to ache. As for being completely drained? He was joking; Li Muyang said he could stay awake for another day!
But Li Ma's complexion had regained its rosy hue! Even her aura was beginning to climb to its peak! Before long, she was displaying the aura of a peak Integration Realm cultivator!
However, Li Ma was taking care of the two people around her and did not release her aura, so it did not have much impact on them.
After a while, a strange black mist, clearly not a good thing, was gradually forced out of Li Ma's body. Hetui! She exhaled in one breath!
The black mist had just been exhaled when it seemed to have a mind of its own. It rushed towards Li Muyang, but was injured by the light of the Shennong Ruler halfway there and could only turn around and rush towards Liu Liqun, a bystander. But at this moment, Li's mother had already come to her senses and pointed her finger.
boom!
The black mist dissipated instantly in mid-air.
"Alright!" A smile appeared on Li Ma's face as she waved her hand and said.
Li Muyang then stopped the healing light, and the Shennong Beast and the little white fox reappeared.
"Congratulations, Sister Xiao!" Liu Liqun chuckled and clasped his hands in congratulations. "Don't worry! I've already deleted the surveillance footage! I didn't see anything today! I'll keep this a secret from you!"
"Thank you!" Without further ado, Li Ma clasped her hands in thanks and then gently patted Li Muyang on the shoulder. "You brat! This surprise really startled me! Tell me honestly! Where did this divine beast come from? I thought it was a spirit beast! You actually found a young divine beast and signed a contract with it!"
"What?! A mythical beast?!" Liu Liqun was startled when he heard this. Seeing the two looking over, he quickly covered his mouth and said, "I didn't hear that! I didn't hear that!"
"What are you panicking for? As long as you can hear it, then everything's fine." Li Ma rolled her eyes and complained, then looked at Li Muyang with a serious expression and instructed, "Keep this divine beast tightly sealed! Don't use it in public if you can avoid it! At the very least, don't expose it before you break through to the Golden Core stage!"
Li Muyang nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "I understand!"
A spirit beast contract signed before the Golden Core stage can be dissolved. Only after the Golden Core stage, when one can combine with a spirit beast to fight, and the intimacy between the person and the beast deepens, can the contract be dissolved, even if one wants to.
They live and die together, sharing talents and abilities! If one dies, the other cannot survive either!
Therefore, signing a contract is a very serious matter!
Upon learning that Shennong Beast was actually a divine beast, Liu Liqun, the president of the Beast Tamer Association—well, of course, the North China branch—revealed envy in his eyes. What kind of treatment was this! He had always heard that this kid had bad luck and mediocre talent, but now with a divine beast as his foundation, even the most useless person could take off!
Throughout China, there are quite a few creatures that deserve the title of divine beast. The problem is, most divine beasts are either at the celestial level or higher. Who would dare force someone of that level to sign a so-called contract? Forget about it, you can have anything in your dreams!
The official stance towards this situation is primarily one of cooperation.
To encounter a juvenile mythical beast and even form a contract with it! This is more than just incredibly auspicious; it's practically defying the heavens and changing one's destiny!
"Sister Xiao, if I may be so bold as to ask, please, I don't care about anything else, I just want to know, what is the name of this mythical beast? This is my lifelong request!" Liu Liqun pleaded earnestly, his big beard acting cute, it was irresistible!
Li's mother frowned as she looked at Li Muyang, her meaning clear: you handle it.
Li Muyang smiled and said, "As for the name, it doesn't matter. His name is Shennong Beast!"
"What?! Shennong?!" x2
The two were shocked again!
