Chapter 71 Li Ma's Interrogation
"So, what organization did you join?" Aunt Li said earnestly, "You've inexplicably grown a year older, you must have spent a year in another world, right? And with this difference in the flow of time, it's probably not something ordinary! You were there for more than a year, how much time has passed here?"
Li Muyang obediently extended one finger.
"One day?" Li Ma frowned.
Li Muyang shook his head.
"An hour?" Li Ma raised an eyebrow.
Li Muyang shook his head again.
"One minute?" Li Ma's eyes widened in disbelief! One minute less per year? This is no small matter! The mastermind behind this must possess at least the legendary Golden Immortal level of knowledge in the realm of time!
He's probably comparable to the mastermind behind the scenes of the Main God Space! Although what he did was inhuman, the fact that he dares to be so arrogant and is still alive already proves his ability!
Li Muyang shook his head again.
Li Ma completely lost her patience: "Can't you speak properly?"
"This... in an instant," Li Muyang had no choice but to answer honestly.
Li Ma was stunned for a moment, then immediately clutched her chest, wide-eyed, and said, "My goodness... what trouble have you gotten yourself into? Could it be... that jade seal you found?"
Li Muyang nodded obediently again.
Seeing that his mother still looked like she had fibrocystic breast disease, Li Muyang could only comfort her, "Mom, don't worry, it's okay. I'm from a legitimate organization!"
Li Ma complained weakly, "The Church of Truth also claims to be a legitimate organization! But countries around the world have long since classified them as cults!"
“Uh…” Li Muyang was speechless.
"Mom, since we're here, let's make the best of it."
"Since you're here, let's bury you here."
"...Mom, to be honest, this isn't very helpful. How am I supposed to explain this to you?!"
Aunt Li rolled her eyes: "Then tell me, what's the name of this organization you joined that can travel to other worlds? Who founded it? And what is its purpose?"
"The Time and Space Administration, founded by the Holy Emperor Fuxi, aims to maintain the stability and balance of all realms," Li Muyang explained frankly, acknowledging the possibility of leniency or harsh punishment for resistance.
I think this is fine.
Li Ma was stunned again, and it took her a long time to come to her senses before she asked blankly, "Are you... sure? You're not kidding me?"
"Why would I lie to you about this? Should I look for it? Hmm, the contract we signed before." Li Muyang had asked Boss Goose earlier, and it turned out that the Bureau's employee contracts could be shown to others.
Li's mother took the contract and read it carefully from beginning to end several times before returning it to Li Muyang.
"So... this is actually a legitimate organization!" Li Ma murmured, looking lost in thought.
Could it be that my silly son, after all this bad luck, has finally turned his luck around?
Thinking of this, Li Ma felt a little embarrassed by her earlier attitude. "Your Majesty, please don't blame Mu Yang! It was all my overthinking! I'm so sorry! So sorry..."
"Cough cough... This... Why didn't you say so earlier!" Li Ma realized she had misunderstood and could only give Li Muyang a resentful look.
Li Muyang was both amused and exasperated: "Did you even give me a chance to explain? You just believed me like that?"
Unexpectedly, Li Ma snorted and said, "You don't think that anyone can impersonate those great figures in mythology, do you? You probably don't know that some time ago, a lucky guy got something like a system that allowed him to gain faith power by playing other roles."
"As a result, this smug and clever lucky guy tried to play a character from mythology right from the start, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan... Heh, he was playing the role in the morning, he just showed his head in the air and finished speaking when he was struck down by a bolt of lightning, revealing his true form. Even the system on his body was shattered, and he is still in jail to this day."
"Later, we learned from the Transmigrator Association that these great gods really do exist, and anyone who dares to impersonate them will have to bear the corresponding consequences! It's like protecting the reputation of these great gods! The Heavenly Dao will monitor it! Even an organization like theirs, which spans countless worlds, wouldn't dare to impersonate them!"
"Even the main god of the main god space once seemed to want to impersonate God... Haha! As a result, I heard that he was hunted down by both Heaven and Hell at the same time, and almost uprooted the main god space! In the end, the main god chickened out, publicly apologized for this matter, and swore to be a believer of God forever. It seems that he also paid huge compensation to get rid of this matter."
Li Muyang listened to Li Ma's stories with great interest, and finally understood why Li Ma believed his explanation so easily. These mythical gods with names and surnames were indeed guaranteed to have public credibility!
I suddenly feel like I'm really lucky! Luckily, it wasn't some kind of divine space or anything like that.
Li's mother's concern for Li Muyang was merely for his safety, or rather, she didn't want her silly son to be tricked into joining some abnormal organization and going astray. Since it was a legitimate organization, it didn't matter!
Well, even Li's mother wasn't worried about his lifespan! She was simply worried that Li Muyang would go astray! As for the rest, he chose his own path, and how he walks it is his own business.
Unexpectedly, his mother let him off the hook so easily. After thinking for a moment, Li Muyang handed over the new martial arts system he had compiled at Fengling Yuxiu, as well as the Immortal Diagram, to his mother.
Li Ma took a look and exclaimed, "Wow!"
The martial arts system is alright, but the fact that the creator of the complete original Immortal Diagram is suspected to be a true immortal is quite shocking! At the very least, he was an existence infinitely close to an immortal! In this world, he would be a powerful expert at the Mahayana stage!
At this level, the difference between martial arts and cultivation is not significant, or rather, it should be called the Path of Martial Arts! In terms of destructive power alone, the Path of Martial Arts might even be superior!
The Immortal's Painting is a valuable item! Who knows, you might actually glean something from it! At least for Li Ma, this painting truly holds some value for her now!
As for the new martial arts system... well, it's pretty good for building a foundation for fitness.
If He Sui and Bai Yue heard Li Ma's evaluation, they would probably cry themselves to death. What they see as the path to heaven is, in Li Ma's eyes, just a way to strengthen the body and lay a foundation.
"Mom, you decide what to do with these two things," Li Muyang said, waving his hand dismissively.
Li Ma smiled and praised, "Good, good, good, I won't stand on ceremony. You should have a backup of this new system. I'll go and make a copy of this immortal image. Keep the original for yourself!"
Li Muyang nodded. His mother was always a woman of her word, and besides, there was no need for formalities among family. Anyway, the map was with him, and he could contact her anytime if needed.
No matter how finely it is imprinted, something containing the Dao can never compare to the preciousness of the original. Even in the world of Fengling Yuxiu, the original complete Immortal Picture was divided into three parts, which also reduced the power of the Immortal Picture itself.
"Oh, there's one more thing." Li Muyang suddenly seemed to remember something, and with a fawning smile, he grabbed his mother's hand and said cutely, "Mom~"
"Just say what's on your mind, don't be a jerk." Li Ma glanced disdainfully at her unfilial son. She already knew that there was only one reason he'd act this way...
"...I'm out of money." A sheepish smile.
"Hmph hmph hmph..." Li Ma was not surprised at all. Divine beasts are big consumers of resources, especially when they are still young. Her son's current living expenses are definitely not enough. Besides, he raises more than one divine beast! Or rather, it was unexpected that Li Muyang contacted her now to ask for money.
How come they managed to hold out for so long without letting Shennong Beast and Xiaobai go hungry?
Li Muyang (╥_╥): There's no love left. They don't even care if their son is hungry.
Li Ma (￣～￣；): How old are you? How can you starve yourself? Shennong Beast and Xiaobai are only in their infancy. They are at a crucial stage of growth. We can't be careless!
Regarding the RMB issue, Li's mother generously offered to multiply Li Muyang's living expenses several times over, to fund his current cultivation and growth.
It seems like a lot, but it's only enough for normal cultivation. There's some money left over, but not much. If you need money for other purposes, you still have to contact Aunt Li.
If you want more money, you'll have to earn it yourself.
He was quite satisfied with this. In fact, at his age, Li Muyang was a little embarrassed to ask for money. It was just that the cost of cultivation in this world was too high, and with his current abilities, the little extra money he earned was really not enough.
We really need to find a way to make money! Something sustainable! We already have mythical beasts, so finding a way to make money in this world shouldn't be too difficult.
Putting everything else aside, just look at the crops grown by the Shennong Beast. If the yield were even a little higher, Li Muyang could have made a fortune just by finding a channel to sell them!
In other words, the output was only enough to meet self-sufficiency, but if the workload were to increase further, Shennong Beast alone would be too busy.
Not only that, Li Muyang had other ideas, but he also needed to test them out. If they worked, he wouldn't have to worry about RMB anymore.
However, during this period, we still need to tighten our belts and live frugally.
Just after the mother and son finished talking about these things, Li's mother suddenly remembered something, reached out and stroked the back of Li Muyang's neck again. A moment later, Li Muyang felt as if a special barrier had appeared around him.
"This barrier can conceal your age. As long as the other party's cultivation level doesn't exceed mine, and they touch you, your divine sense generally won't detect anything unusual." Aunt Li cautiously reminded him, "Keep your joining this organization a secret for now, just to be safe! Don't talk about it!"
Li Muyang rolled his eyes: "Isn't this a must? I'm telling you because I trust you, we're on the same side."
Li's mother chuckled and patted her son lightly. Well, it was just a light pat; nothing like the slap that broke his body happened because she lost control of her strength.
After confirming that there was nothing else, Li Muyang and his mother went to the private room to find their brothers and prepare to return to their dormitory.
