Chapter 3 Preparing for the First Journey
"You are my master?" the jade spirit beast spoke in human language.
"...You came from Fate?" Li Muyang couldn't help but complain again. He felt that he should be equipped with a complaining energy collector, so that he could have been killing people all along!
The jade spirit beast asked with a blank expression, "What is Fate?"
"If you don't know Fate, how do you know Master?" Li Muyang retorted.
The jade spirit beast tilted its head: "When I saw you, this sentence flashed through my mind and I just blurted it out without thinking. I also feel a sense of closeness to you."
"Uh..." Li Muyang was a little embarrassed because he didn't expect the jade spirit beast to be so simple-minded. He chuckled awkwardly and reached out to greet the jade spirit beast: "Hello, my name is Li Muyang. I may be your partner from now on!"
"Oh! Li Muyang, hello! I am Shennong Beast!" The jade spirit beast, or rather Shennong Beast, happily stretched out one of its forelimbs and put its hand on Li Muyang's.
That's right, the newbie gift pack for Li Muyang includes a Shennong beast!
After further discussion, Li Muyang discovered that the Shennong Beast was actually a product of the combination of "Shenbing Xiaojiang" and "Shenbing Xuanqi"! A peerless divine weapon that could both heal the sick and save lives, and poison the dead—the "Shennong Ruler".
Furthermore, even without transforming, it can use its own abilities independently!
For example, right now, it has directly healed Li Muyang's injuries!
This is even faster than treatment methods in hospitals!
"Amazing!" As a medical student himself, Li Muyang could feel the speed of the treatment even more directly. Even in this somewhat unscientific world, the Shennong Beast's healing ability was top-notch!
Especially according to Shennong Beast, it's only in its juvenile stage! It still has a lot of room to grow!
With its wide-range healing abilities, and after transforming into a divine weapon, Li Muyang also possesses a life-stealing-like ability... a precious attack-based healing power! Truly worthy of being a divine weapon! These two features alone mean Li Muyang will never have to worry about getting injured again!
Ahem! Calm down! This is no excuse to court death!
After establishing a connection with the Shennong Beast, Li Muyang turned to look at the somewhat neglected Goose and apologized. Don't let its self-proclaimed artificial stupidity fool you... Li Muyang could sense that Goose's intelligence level was definitely that of a normal living being, or perhaps some kind of advanced artifact spirit!
We'll be dealing with each other a lot more often in the future, so we can't afford to offend the only butler!
The boss was quite satisfied with Li Muyang's attitude. After Li Muyang signed the contract, he gave him a list of tasks that were very suitable for his current conditions. Not only were the tasks not difficult, but most importantly, Li Muyang could also get very generous rewards in the process!
I have to say, it was definitely the right thing to do to build a good relationship with Tencent!
"Friendly reminder: there's no rush to carry out the mission. You have a few days to prepare. I suggest you start with the cultivation technique the boss gave you." Goose gave Li Muyang a final reminder.
After thanking him again for the reminder, Li Muyang began to read the contents of the cultivation technique jade disc.
Unexpectedly, what I thought was one cultivation method turned out to be two separate documents, containing the "Yin Fu Jing" and the "Huangdi Neijing" respectively!
Based on Li Muyang's understanding of the cultivation technique jade disc, these scriptures and similar items, if they are just ordinary texts, are not very useful. However, if they are cultivation technique jade discs, which are magical treasures that record cultivation techniques, they will also carry the corresponding "Dao"!
This is the real treasure! Something that can truly strengthen Li Muyang from the root!
After taking several days off, Li Muyang barely managed to get a basic understanding of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic... This thing is indeed a dual cultivation method, but this "dual cultivation" refers to the dual cultivation of body and mind!
Anyone with impure thoughts, go stand in the corner and reflect on your actions!
There are indeed some inappropriate thoughts... but it's obvious that Li Muyang can't try it right now, since he's a confirmed bachelor and has only ever held a woman's hand when he was a child.
The boy remembers how he disdainfully shook her off back then, even leaving behind the words, "Women only slow down my speed of drawing my sword!"
Tsk... Young and reckless! I thought it was the beginning of a glorious chapter, but it turned out to be the peak.
I've spent my whole life diligently cultivating myself, but I haven't even known how to cherish the opportunities... Sigh~
The Yin Fu Jing is a bit too profound. Li Muyang estimates that he will need a few more days. The Huangdi Neijing is a comprehensive medical book. He is, after all, a medical student, even if he is a veterinary student. He has read it before and thought about its profound meaning, so he has a little bit of a foundation.
Yes, I've actually read both books.
It's just that I can't comprehend the Dao within it, and I can't understand it like a cultivation technique. Now, this cultivation technique, Jade Butterfly, is just right.
However, the Yin Fu Jing is not only profound, with countless interpretations for a single sentence, but it also involves various aspects of supernatural powers, magic, and military strategy. Li Muyang's cultivation knowledge is at most at the level of a college student. To understand this thing, it is not something that can be done by cramming at the last minute.
Theory is just theory, especially the knowledge in textbooks, which is not very useful. Definitions, historical background, significance, and all sorts of roundabout things, none of which are directly related to the knowledge being taught.
This is not something that can be understood simply through intuition.
With preparations almost complete, Li Muyang was ready to begin his first mission.
Since lifespan is a concern, Li Muyang's current priority is naturally short-term missions—those with short durations and generous rewards, plus the option to recruit others during the newbie protection period, which is free.
Therefore, considering all these factors, Li Muyang decided to start with something simple to experiment with.
[Naruto World: Konoha Village is about to be attacked. The Fourth Hokage and his wife will die in this mission. Please do your best to ensure their survival and minimize the losses to Konoha Village.]
Mission requirements: Fourth Hokage and his wife 2/0, Konoha Village destroyed more than 80%, mission fails.
Reward: One juvenile Nine-Tails, 1600 Origin Points
Li Muyang (￣w￣；): "Why is the Origin Point reward only 1600?"
Goose: "Normal, doesn't the host understand? It's the newbie protection period, so I'm giving away ten free pulls."
"Does the host need to summon helpers? It's free; if you don't use it during the newbie protection mission, the opportunity will be wasted."
Summon! Definitely summon! Why wouldn't I take something that's free?
But when Li Muyang opened the helper panel, he fell silent for a moment.
Damn it, there's only one option to choose from, the rest are all black!
The First Hokage: Hashirama Senju...
Li Muyang (；?＿?): "WC... Bro? Are you guys serious? Obito fighting the First Hokage? Really? What period is this Hashirama Senju from? It's not his childhood, is it?"
"It's like Hashirama Senju being perfectly resurrected after death in this world. However, once the host completes the mission and leaves that world, Hashirama Senju will return to the Pure Land," Goose explained calmly, as if it were commonplace.
Li Muyang initially thought that this summoning helper was a colleague from the Time and Space Administration, but he never expected it to be someone from within the world where the mission was being carried out? However, it seems that it can only summon people whose mission timeline has already passed?
hiss……
Even better!
Is this the newbie protection period? I love it!
Just as Li Muyang was about to begin his journey through time, he stopped and raised his hand, asking, "Wait! I suddenly remembered something very important!"
Goose Boss [?_??]
"The Nine-Tails in the reward... are you sure it's the Nine-Tails Kurama from the Naruto world, and not from some other world?" Li Muyang asked with a serious expression. He didn't want to go to Naruto only to get a Pokémon instead.
It wasn't that he disliked the Ninetales Pokémon, but it was obvious that the two were quite different in strength, and Li Muyang didn't want to waste a beginner's quest period because of this! He urgently needed the power to protect himself!
Other Foundation Establishment cultivators are incredibly powerful, easily defeating opponents of higher levels. Yet, he can be broken by the Shennong Beast! He's far too weak!
Goose (ー△ー；): "Host, you really have a vivid imagination. We do business honestly and fairly! It's impossible for us to set up such a linguistic trap! This nine-tailed fox is Kurama! The Time and Space Administration can replicate the world's products through the source! So, what we gave you was just a juvenile!"
After repeatedly confirming with Boss Goose that he wouldn't be scammed, Li Muyang finally began his formal operation.
"Ding-dong! Time travel is ready. Please fasten your seatbelt to prevent the impending severe dizziness. Ready to depart. Next stop: Naruto... Reckless driving will bring tears to your loved ones!"
Li Muyang could only feel an irresistible, powerful attraction coming from his body. His vision went black, and he was spun around like he was being thrown into a washing machine. He didn't know how long he was spun around, but then he was roughly thrown out like toothpaste being squeezed out, and only then did Li Muyang regain his vision.
The first thing that happened after that was... ugh~
I'm sorry, this time I really threw up! I felt dizzy and disoriented! I couldn't even crawl! I collapsed to the ground on the spot.
At this moment, a large hand touched Li Muyang's back, and a warm force entered Li Muyang's body, instantly relieving his discomfort.
"Are you alright, bro? Did you get carsick?" Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, was startled to see Li Muyang looking half-dead.
Who would kneel down on the ground the moment they meet someone?
By the way, did cars exist in the first generation's era? How would he know the word "motion sickness"?
It took Li Muyang a while to get up, and after looking around four times, he realized that he was in a forest.
Hashirama Senju explained to Li Muyang, "This place... if nothing unexpected happens, should be a small grove of trees not far from Konoha Village. I never thought I would have the chance to come back and take a look."
"Don't worry, young man, my mission is clear: protect your safety and assist you in completing your mission. I just didn't expect there to be such a miraculous organization that can bring the dead back to life and traverse countless worlds! This is really interesting!" The first leader's face showed a cheerful smile.
The helpers summoned by the Time and Space Administration are all directly injected with a relevant memory.
