Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 198 Jindan will not bring you to the meeting
Zhang Ze didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that he had become some kind of fun and novel toy.

But looking at the serious expressions of the sect leader and his wife, it doesn't seem to be the case.

After performing the golden elixir's color change for the seventh time, the sect leader nodded and said lightly.

"fine."

"Then what's going on with these golden pills?" Chen Qin asked his father, poking the largest golden pill with his finger.

"It should be related to the Thousand Machine Heart Technique." Captain Chen thought for a moment, then looked at Zhang Ze and continued, "You may have learned too much."

Finally, Captain Chen added, "It's fortunate that Tianzong, Yaowang Valley, and the Buddhist Sect are far away from our Jianzong, otherwise you might not be able to collect all seven golden elixirs."

When Chen Qin heard her father say this, she suddenly remembered something and interrupted.

"Brother, why don't you try to collect seven of them?

I remember you told me a story about a dragon, saying that if you collect seven of them, you can summon a dragon and have your wishes granted."

"Hasn't the dragon been summoned?! That's my golden elixir, don't eat it."

Zhang Ze discovered that A'li was holding the Beast Taming Sect's golden elixir and observing it, licking it from time to time.

The little phoenix Rongrong also looked curious, as if he thought that Sister A Li was going to take him to barbecue again.

All of a sudden, everything was going crazy.

The clan leader and his wife looked at the two quarreling children and shook their heads helplessly.

They have checked Zhang Ze inside and out.

There's really nothing wrong with this kid.

Not only is there no problem, it's even too healthy.

Captain Chen had just practiced a few moves with Zhang Ze and found that what was amazing about this kid was that not only was the number of golden elixirs wrong, but his realm aura and strength were also not equal.

Even in his eyes, Zhang Ze's realm was just that of a foundation-building cultivator who had not yet formed a pill.

To use the words of casual cultivators to save face, Zhang Ze is now at the peak of foundation building and half a step into the golden elixir realm.

Jindan didn't bring him to the meeting, so he paid the full amount of border tax.

But Zhang Ze, who is half a step away from becoming a golden elixir, is much stronger than ordinary golden elixir cultivators when he starts to fight.

Although his four golden elixirs changed color like toys, they were not real decorations.

After the two children had made enough noise, Captain Chen looked at Old Tang.

"But I'm just guessing. As for whether the golden cores of other Thousand Machine cultivators will be the same, that depends on you, Taoist Priest."

Among those who are currently practicing the "Thousand Machines Heart Technique", apart from Zhang Ze, the one who has made the fastest progress is Old Tang.

Although the old Taoist priest had lost all his cultivation and lived a different life, he was a top-level boss before after all, so practicing again was as easy as drinking soup.

But Old Tang acted as if he didn't hear anything. He walked around Zhang Ze a few times, then put his arm around Zhang Ze's shoulders and said.

"Boy, how did you make the golden elixir change color? Teach me."

Old Tang is still thinking about this matter.

Zhang Ze listened to Old Tang's question, but shook his head.

"have no idea.

I think it's like a wish come true. If you think about it, maybe you can change your mind too."

"Then why were you making hand gestures and chanting spells just now?" Old Tang blew his beard and glared.

"Isn't this how we cultivators cast spells? The sect leader taught me that we should act in a proper manner and not lose face for our Sword Sect."

The sect leader coughed lightly, interrupting Zhang Ze's nonsense.

Zhang Ze also remembered that there was another important matter, so he asked the Sect Master, "But if there is nothing wrong with my Golden Cores, then why can't I reach a higher realm?"

"I've clearly exceeded the target with this number."

Chen Qianhu pointed at the golden elixir of Zhang Ze's Beast Taming Sect and said, "It might be the problem with this golden elixir. Maybe you haven't learned all the methods of the Beast Taming Sect."

Zhang Ze nodded, "Yes, I haven't learned it all."

Not only the system, but also Zhang Ze had obtained some of the Beast Taming Sect's methods from Li Jue a long time ago.

However, regarding the most important part of taming beasts, Li Yueqi and Li Jue kept their mouths shut.

And Zhang Ze didn't ask any more questions.

Only when the sect leader reminded him did he remember that this had indeed happened.

Zhang Ze quietly opened the system and took a look, then sighed in his heart.

He found that he seemed to have caused a bug in this broken system again.

In the exchange interface, the "Spirit Control Art", which is necessary for the Beastmaster Sect to form the Golden Elixir, can only be exchanged after the Golden Elixir is formed.

If Zhang Ze honestly follows the path of the Sword Sect, this will naturally not be a problem.

However, because he was practicing the "Thousand Machines Heart Sutra", Zhang Ze could not form the Beast Taming Sect's golden elixir without the "Spirit Taming Art".

Without the Beast Taming Sect's golden elixir, he would still be a foundation-building cultivator and would not be able to obtain the "Spirit Taming Art".

He got himself stuck.

Seeing Zhang Ze in a daze, Captain Chen suggested, "You can go to the Beast Taming Sect."

"Ah?" Zhang Ze was still thinking about the bug he had encountered and did not hear clearly what the sect leader said, but the sect leader misunderstood him.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that it's useless for me to tell you about this matter. You will know when you go to the Beastmaster Sect." Captain Chen sighed.

"You are familiar with Li Yueqi and Li Jue, so it should be helpful to go find them."

Zhang Ze looked at Old Tang, who nodded. "That guy surnamed Li is like this. Forget it, I won't scold him. I can't beat him now."

After saying that, Old Tang shook his hands and didn't want to mention it anymore.

After everyone left, the sect leader left Zhang Ze alone.

"Well done, this is your reward."

There was an extra flying sword in Captain Chen's hand. The flying sword was simple and ancient, with a restrained brilliance. It was obviously made according to Zhang Ze's aesthetic taste.

"Try it." Captain Chen handed the flying sword to Zhang Ze.

Holding the flying sword, Zhang Ze could vaguely hear the roar of a ferocious beast, and A'li, who was standing next to Zhang Ze, seemed to have sensed something.

It glared at the flying sword, and the flying sword immediately became obedient.

"What is this?" Zhang Ze asked.

"Flying Sword: Ancient.

Just knocked it out with some old materials.

I heard you've started researching stone pills. I imagine you'll encounter many things related to the prehistoric world in the future, and this flying sword will certainly come in handy."

After saying that, Captain Chen patted Zhang Ze on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Zhang Ze, who had the flying sword, turned around and looked at A Li. The man and the dragon said at the same time, "Let's go up to the sky and take a look."

The first thing to do after achieving the golden elixir is to go to heaven to see it.

After A'li climbed onto his shoulders, Zhang Ze took off into the air and rode his flying sword straight into the clear sky in a handsome posture.

But before he could fly high, he returned to the ground.

Because the wind was too strong and the sword was too thin, it could hardly stand still. It would be more energy-saving for him to fly directly.

After standing in the yard in a daze for a while and recalling how to use the sword-controlling technique of the Sword Sect, Zhang Ze stepped on the flying sword again and soared into the sky.

Watching the Qianji Pavilion slowly shrinking under his feet and feeling the wind blowing past him, he finally understood one thing.

Apart from being cool, flying with a sword is really not as good as flying by yourself or taking a flying boat.

Standing tall on a thin flying sword, casting spells with sword techniques with one hand in front of you, is far less comfortable than lying on the flying boat and dozing off.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why those inner sect brothers always had one hand behind their backs when they controlled their swords.

It's not just for the sake of looking cool, but if it's not behind the back, there's nowhere to put the hands.

Zhang Ze felt that the Sword Sect's flying sword could be improved, starting with the comfort level... Thinking about these messy things, he flew over the clouds without noticing.

The clouds turned into the sea under my feet, while the sky was still at the distant end.

But seeing this magnificent scene, Zhang Ze had no time to sigh before his eyes went dark and he almost fell off the flying sword.

The spiritual energy here is thin, and he cannot support it with his current level of cultivation.

The sect leader appeared behind Zhang Ze, grabbed his collar and sighed.

"Why are you flying so high? Let's go back."

……

Three days later, Qianji Pavilion had a new gadget.

A bit crude, but really magical.

Zhang Ze went to the Sword Casting Peak to build a few ordinary flying swords. They didn't need to be powerful or have any magical powers, as long as they could fly.

After the senior brothers from Zhujian Peak found out what Zhang Ze was going to do, they spent two hours making a batch of iron rods for Zhang Ze.

An iron staff that can be flown.

Zhang Ze took these iron rods and went to find Lily again. After explaining the situation, it only took half a day for Lily to assemble a strange thing for Zhang Ze.

Using the big iron mixer as the keel, Lily placed a Thousand Machine Wheelchair on it, and also installed several small Thousand Machine Magical Instruments on the back of the wheelchair to provide balance and other functions.

After everything was settled, Lily and Zhang Ze both felt that something was missing and it was not beautiful. And when Zhang Ze told Lily about how he fell from the sky yesterday.

Lily clapped her hands and dragged a Thousand Machine Cannon out from the next room. After removing the Thousand Machine Cannon, she placed the Thousand Machine Cannon's magical instrument, which stored spiritual energy, in a shell and mounted it in front of the wheelchair.

At this point, the first flying sword chariot prototype of Qianji Pavilion was assembled.

Due to time constraints, Lily did not optimize this thing, and its operation still requires the Sword Sect's sword-wielding technique.

But now I can sit and fly the sword.

"Isn't it a little ugly?" Lily asked.

"All prototypes are like this. As long as it works, it's fine."

Although this thing now looks like an old man's car that has been in a car accident, Zhang Ze is confident that he can beautify it into a vulture tank in the future.

Lily also drew inspiration from Zhang Ze's idea which was born out of laziness. She decided to develop this thing together with the Thousand Machine Armor and the Thousand Machine Magical Weapon.

For example, add some defensive and offensive magic weapons on it.

When the time comes, the Thousand Machines monks will ride this thing out on the street, and when fighting, they can directly transform on this thing. It will be both cool and safe.

According to Lily, they were just a group of Thousand Machine Monks, without any powerful strength, so they needed more powerful Thousand Machine Magical Instruments to protect themselves.

Putting away his second-hand Old Man's Music, Zhang Ze strolled to the back mountain of Qianji Pavilion to find his junior sister, planning to make a spontaneous trip to the Beastmaster Sect.

But unfortunately, he was tricked by the sect leader again.

Before leaving, the clan leader and his wife had already devised a plan to lure their daughter to another place in advance.

The Fourth Sword Pavilion, run by Chen Qin's second sister, seems to have unearthed some new finds recently. They're said to be from Dongqi and possibly related to the rituals used to refine sword spirits.

In order to help his senior brother and Qianji Pavilion, Chen Qin was tricked by his parents into going to Jingzhou where the Fourth Sword Pavilion is located. It seems that he will not be able to come back for a while.

Helplessly, Zhang Ze could only go to the Beast Taming Sect alone.

[Where are you now, lady? ]

Zhang Zexian sent a message to Li Yueqi.

I don’t know where in the dense forest.

Li Yueqi, who was obsessed with hunting and walked further and further, wiped the blood off her hands, took out the small walnut and looked at it for a long time before looking up and asking her two pets.

"Where are we now?"

Qinghe is a directionally challenged person, shaking his head like a rattle. Heiqu, who is somewhat more reliable at finding his way, said after thinking for a moment.

"The last time we entered the city, I remember we were in Fengzhou, and then we headed southwest..."

"If we continue heading southwest now, we'll reach the barbarian territory."

[I'm in the southwest of Fengzhou, almost reaching Xizhou. What's going on?]

Zhang Ze looked at Li Yueqi's reply, calculated the distance, and found that this place was too far away.

But his sister was not at home, and he still had his younger brother to look for. Zhang Ze remembered the last time they contacted each other, Li Jue said he was in Guanlong Mountain, which was within the territory of Cangshan Mountain.

[It's okay, lady, please be careful on your way. I'm going to find Li Jue.]

Looking at Zhang Ze's reply, Li Yueqi frowned slightly and felt unhappy again.

She stood up and used the magical tool she carried with her to collect the corpse of the monster. Then she patted her robe and said to her two companions, "Let's go home."

After Zhang Ze contacted Li Jue, he responded promptly and received a letter soon, but it only contained three words.

[Wolongze]

After putting away the little walnut, Zhang Ze carried A'li towards the place where the flying boat was parked in Qianji Pavilion.

……

Somewhere in Guanlong Mountain.

Li Jue carried a dead wild deer on his back and hid all the way. He climbed over the bushes, waded through the icy river, and walked another mile north before returning to the hiding place of himself and his companions.

After struggling to move the large rock that blocked the cave, Li Jue held onto the rock and gasped for a long time.

Ever since he and his fellow junior brothers and sisters fell into this secret realm, their cultivation had been sealed bit by bit, decreasing a little bit every day. Today, they had reached the third level of Qi training.

Their spirit beasts were affected even more. If Li Jue had not immediately used the magic weapon he carried with him to collect all the spirit beasts and protect them after realizing something was wrong, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Senior brother, are you okay?" Junior brother Xie Xin came over upon hearing the voice, took the dead deer from Li Jue's back, and then helped Li Jue move the big rock back to block the cave entrance again.

"It's okay, but if our cultivation continues to decline in a few days, we'll probably have to find another way to block the cave entrance." Li Jue sighed.

Seeing Junior Brother Xie's hesitant expression, Li Jue comforted him.

"My sister will get itchy if she doesn't beat me for half a month. When she returns to the Beast Taming Sect and finds that I'm not here, she will definitely come looking for me.

The same goes for the old man, we will be fine."

"But...what if the time here is different from the outside world?" Junior Brother Xie finally said what he was thinking.

Li Jue made a gesture to keep quiet and whispered, "How did you find out?"

Junior Brother Xie took out a leaf from his arms, which he had hung on his body before entering this secret realm.

Even though such a long time had passed, the leaves were still very fresh, as if they had just been picked.

"Don't tell Xiao Tao about this for now, understand?" Li Jue patted Junior Brother Xie on the shoulder and carried the deer with him into the depths of the cave.

Deep in the cave, the little woman who commanded the giant elephant was sitting on a piece of fur, carefully organizing all the magical tools and self-defense items.

Now their cultivation is being sealed bit by bit. In order to prevent themselves from falling back to mortals and being unable to use the storage ring, they took out some necessary things in advance.

"Tao Qing, senior brother is back." Xie Xin said.

"Brother, are you okay?" Tao Qing walked up and asked with concern.

"Nothing. Not only that, I also hunted a deer." Li Jue smiled.

Tao Qing was silent for a moment before asking, "Hasn't the little walnut been found yet?"

Li Jue's smile froze and he sighed, "No, I searched again along the same route I came from, but I couldn't find it."

They carried plenty of fasting pills with them, so hunting deer was just a side job, and the real thing was to find walnuts.

"Maybe it was taken away by a wild beast." Xie Xin comforted him, "My brothers and I will go out to look for it tomorrow. Maybe..."

"Shh, that thing is coming." Li Jue immediately covered Xie Xin's mouth.

Tao Qing did the same, squatting down carefully, closing her mouth and holding her breath.

Outside the cave, a dragon roar was heard.
