Chapter 72 The Small Dormitory
The four students returned to their dormitory.
Li Muyang was forced into a chair, while the other three men stared at him menacingly, as if they were conducting a joint interrogation.
"...What's wrong?" Li Muyang blinked in confusion.
Wang Yifei slammed his gavel: "You audacious old Li! Still playing dumb? At this point! There are witnesses and evidence! Shouldn't you explain yourself?"
“Uh…” Li Muyang opened his mouth speechlessly: “What exactly do you want to ask? If it’s about that martial arts system…”
"Oh dear, is this what we were talking about?" Lu Xiaobo rushed up to Li Muyang with a look of exasperation, and complained, "What does your mother do anyway?"
Fan Zichen followed suit: "Exactly! Didn't you say your mom was just an ordinary police officer in the Public Security Bureau?"
Li Muyang replied, half-laughing and half-crying, "When did I say my mom was just an ordinary police officer? I said she works at the Public Security Bureau, that's not a problem!"
The three stared wide-eyed, stunned for a long time, as if... that was indeed what was said?
Embarrassed.
"Uh... so Auntie is at the police station..."
"She is the bureau chief."
"WC!" x3
The three men nearly dropped their jaws. They didn't even realize that the "system" Li Muyang was referring to wasn't the Beiping Municipal Public Security Bureau, but the North China General Bureau.
Coming to his senses, Wang Yifei casually remarked, "We have a second-generation official among us!"
"Damn it! Old Li, you've been hiding this well!" Lu Xiaobo teased.
"Big brother, please take me under your wing~" Fan Zichen has already begged for help.
Li Muyang kicked the guy away without any emotion and said casually, "It's not that serious. Don't you know my situation? I just broke through to the Golden Core stage. My mom just found out and gave me a lecture. As for being a second-generation official, that's even more ridiculous. You're overthinking it. You've all seen how much living expenses I have."
The three of them pondered for a moment. Hmm, they had heard that the Golden Core, as the foundation for entering the Dao, was of paramount importance! Therefore, some families with strict upbringing placed great importance on the condensation of the Golden Core, even having special requirements and methods for doing so.
The resulting Golden Core can inherit certain techniques, making it significantly stronger than an ordinary Golden Core.
It's highly likely that Li Muyang lacked talent and failed to meet his family's expectations, so he was called in and given a beating?
In reality, it was all just to appease the three of them. Li Muyang's family didn't have such a thing at all. Or rather, the martial arts manuals that Li's mother gave Li Muyang were only for helping to condense the Golden Core. Li's mother also considered Li Muyang's talent and didn't give him anything too mysterious or profound.
Wang Yifei patted Li Muyang on the shoulder and said earnestly, "I understand you..."
Before Li Muyang could realize anything, Fan Zichen and Lu Xiaobo stared wide-eyed at Wang Yifei, dumbfounded. You... you wouldn't also be hiding your background, would you?
Wang Yifei realized what the two were thinking, rolled his eyes and complained, "What are you thinking? My family runs a breeding farm! But we have some ancestral skills, so I have some inheritance. Therefore, my golden core was also condensed through special means. Of course, I succeeded."
Lu Xiaobo asked in shock, "I knew there was an older man at the dinner party who seemed to know you, and he seemed to have come with Uncle Liu? Uncle Liu is the president of the Beast Tamer Association, so he..."
Wang Yifei smiled modestly: "Hehe...my second uncle."
"Hidden talents, hidden talents indeed! You two are actually hiding in this tiny 609 dorm room!" Fan Zichen complained with a tragic expression, "Are we the only ones from ordinary families, like Lao Lu and me?"
Lu Xiaobo blushed.
Li Muyang and Wang Yifei looked over. "No way? You've hidden something big too?"
"Ahem, don't misunderstand. My family's genealogy is indeed quite long, but my family is just ordinary people." Lu Xiaobo coughed lightly and explained, "My father is a researcher at a research institute, and my mother is a civil servant who works for the government."
Fan Zichen (」＞＜)」：…I suddenly feel like I've used up all my luck in this life just to get into this dorm!
Li Muyang rolled his eyes: "Alright, that's enough. If you keep pretending to be stupid, you're going too far. I know you have an aunt who's a professor at Huada University, in the cultivation department, and she's at the Integration Realm."
"Wow! A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator?" Wang Yifei and Lu Xiaobo were so shocked by the series of surprises that they couldn't close their mouths.
Although the top cultivators in various countries are all at the Mahayana stage on the surface, these Mahayana stage cultivators are extremely rare, and they are powerful figures who guard their respective regions.
There are only a few hundred people in the world who are publicly known, and even including those who are not, the number is far from exceeding four figures. This is based on historical accumulation!
Moreover, Mahayana cultivators rarely make any major moves. They either guard a region or are devoted to the Dao, rarely appearing in the secular world and are usually nowhere to be seen.
On the surface, there are only a little over a hundred Mahayana cultivators in China, and these are considered to be the old monsters from various forces. You have to know how profound China's civilization is! Many Mahayana cultivators may even be over a thousand years old! Any one of them is equivalent to a national treasure, a mushroom bomb-level existence.
The power of firearms such as mushroom bombs was reduced under normal conditions, perhaps due to the influence of spiritual energy. Until Li Ba appeared out of nowhere and combined firearms with the weapon refining system, he created the magic weapon version of the mushroom bomb. Most importantly, he formed a complete system!
This will allow other firearms to continue to play a powerful role!
The Mahayana stage is shrouded in mystery; therefore, the Integration stage is the most common combat force openly displayed by various countries! They belong to the backbone of the force and are the cultivators who are visible on the surface.
Fan Zichen blushed: "That's her... Besides, with my talent, even the professors in the cultivation department can't help me."
In this world's college entrance exam, if you've already condensed your Golden Core, you're practically guaranteed a spot in a top-tier university. Humanities scores aren't even the most important factor, because condensing your Golden Core is the ultimate test of your mindset and abilities! It's like a world-wide assessment! These are all truly talented individuals!
While there may be a few bad apples, they are not many. Most of them simply lack proper guidance and can still be saved; they can be pulled back before they truly go astray.
Even so, being able to condense a Golden Core before the college entrance examination is extremely rare, almost like a limitation. The probability of successfully condensing a Golden Core before the age of 18 is very low. Building a solid foundation in Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment is not easy! Therefore, condensing a Golden Core before the college entrance examination is even more difficult!
Of course, this does not include previous graduates.
At the same time, the quality of the Golden Elixir is also a problem. Some Golden Elixirs are formed when the patient is too young and their potential is forcibly squeezed out. Through some testing methods and devices, problems can also be found in them, and the evaluation will be lowered accordingly.
Forcibly squeezing talent is simply digging its own grave; it's bound to start strong but end weak.
Even Wang Yifei only managed to condense his golden core during his vacation after the college entrance examination.
When the topic of cultivation talent came up, Li Muyang smiled slightly and said, "That's not necessarily true! Let's try it out first! My martial arts system! Come on! Let's start with the meridians!"
A cultivator's body is like a kettle, and spiritual energy is the water it can hold. Absorbing spiritual energy and circulating it throughout the body is like developing the body's potential. In the Fengling Yuxiu world, the new martial arts system developed has greatly helped in the development of meridians!
Once the meridians are fully developed, it will also help improve the effectiveness and efficiency of a cultivator's internal circulation! If one can also find a way to obtain a Marrow Cleansing Pill, the effect will be even better.
Well, pills are definitely a necessity, but unfortunately in modern society, only a few sects have pill formulas. However, their pill-refining techniques are not very good, the success rate is quite low, and the effects are not as miraculous as imagined. It's better to just take the same materials and buy regular medicine!
Many alchemical techniques have fallen into decline.
However, with the Shennong Beast around, none of these are problems!
Back in Fenglingyuxiu, the group's rapid cultivation was largely due to the subtle influence of the Shennong Beast! It's the same now! A walking creation!
To be precise, the martial arts system and the cultivation system of this world also have a complementary effect!
Under Li Muyang's guidance, the three of them embarked on a martial arts journey of detailed meridian development, which lasted all night! But early in the morning, they were all full of energy and did not feel tired at all.
"Amazing! Previous martial arts systems had such special effects?" Fan Zichen felt the changes in himself; the rate at which he absorbed spiritual energy was much smoother than before! The effects were also much better!
Lu Xiaobo and Wang Yifei also deeply felt the changes within themselves! They truly felt like they were being reborn!
Li Muyang explained, "This is because our cultivation system has already opened the path, but it hasn't been repaired properly. This martial arts system will repair the meridian path more precisely and smoothly, so you all felt a big change the first time, but the effect will definitely decrease much later. The important thing is to persevere!"
Of course, everyone understands this principle. While it's okay to have fun and play around, we still can't be careless when it comes to spiritual practice.
It was getting late, and the four of them should go to class.
"Old Li, you haven't slept all night, just taking care of things for us. Are you sure you can manage? Why don't you take a day off?" Wang Yifei asked with concern.
Li Muyang pointed at the Shennong Beast: "It's alright. If I could even manage without sleep, with this guy around, it wouldn't be a problem. It's just that mental fatigue is hard to recover from, so I can just rest for a while at noon."
Shennong Beast rolled its eyes and didn't reply. It could recover from mental fatigue; Li Muyang simply didn't want to give up the habit of sleeping.
Humans are not perpetual motion machines; not sleeping is not a good thing! We need to rest when we need to, and maintain a balance between work and rest.
After an uneventful class period, Li Muyang finally had time to study the upgraded spirit beast gourd after returning to his dormitory in the evening!
Come on! Let me witness the power of this acquired magic weapon!
In the dormitory, Li Muyang summoned the spirit beast gourd. The original white gourd now seemed to have an extra layer of golden light on its surface. It looked a little weak, but it made it look even more extraordinary!
