Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 205: Biology Destroys Life

The Dragon Palace was very big, and the two of them stopped and walked along the way.

As they walked, Li Jue introduced the Beast Taming Sect's advanced technology to Zhang Ze.

"Look at that coral tree. It's actually fake. It's a magical tool made from sea tree stone. Just one coral tree can purify the water within a ten-mile radius."

Zhang Ze looked in the direction of Li Jue's finger. A huge coral tree stood in the water. If you didn't look closely, you really couldn't tell that it was a fake tree.

"What about the giant clams under the coral trees?" Zhang Ze asked.

Under the coral lies a group of giant clams, their shells wide open, motionless like a landscape, and each clam holds a huge pearl in its mouth.

As big as three people’s heads.

Thanks to these pearls, the bottom of the lake, which should have been dark, is now as bright as day.

Li Jue was a little embarrassed, "Those pearls are indeed magical instruments, but the giant clams are alive"

He pointed to a few bare stone pillars outside the Dragon Palace and said, "The magic pearls were originally placed on top of them, but they were all pulled off by these giant clams. I disciplined them several times, but I couldn't control them, so I just let them be. The effect is the same anyway."

Talking about these big clams, Li Jue also mentioned another purpose of the Dragon Palace, which is to provide retirement for some aquatic spirit beasts.

When disciples of the Beast Taming Sect choose spirit beasts, in addition to their own talents, they also have to consider their personal wishes.

Although some disciples' talents are compatible with a certain spirit beast, there are also many cases where they choose other spirit beasts for personal reasons.

According to the Beast Taming Sect's own statistical records, since the establishment of the sect, the least chosen beast species is the behemoth.

Although the Beast Taming Sect currently provides various living subsidies to monks who choose giant beasts, the huge size is still a threshold.

It is quite troublesome for them to walk outside. Many cities do not have streets that can accommodate these giant beasts, so they can only stay in the beast-controlling ring.

Moreover, before these giant beasts learned the art of transformation, if they encountered a small hiding place such as a cave room, they would have no room to move at all.

While the other monks who had chosen spirit cats, tigers, and leopards moved around indoors with their spirit pets, these giant beasts could only block the door with their bodies.
But the worst are the water beasts
There is basically no candidate.

Although they are strong in water, they are half as weak without water. Some of them cannot even get out of the water before reaching the Golden Core stage.
For example, the water wolf fish is a fool in the water. It is not afraid of anyone. As long as it falls into the water, no matter what it sees, it will definitely take a bite.

But once I got ashore, there was nothing I could do except try to turn my life around.

Even if clams are in a very bad condition, they can still close their shells and throw themselves out as flying props.

But spiritual animals like water wolf fish can only stay in the fish tank to perform splashing and spraying water in places without water.

Many Beast Taming Sect monks can basically only choose one natal spirit beast.

Therefore, not many people would choose a salted fish whose combat power is basically equal to zero before reaching the Golden Elixir stage, which would add unnecessary difficulty to their own path of cultivation.

"But there are exceptions. Elder Han's first spirit beast was Senior Wanju." As he spoke, Li Jue waved at a strange reef outside the Dragon Palace.

As Li Jue waved his hand, the reef began to wriggle, the ripples spread, and the giant octopus that sent Zhang Ze down to the Dragon Palace revealed its figure.

It stared at the two of them with one eye for a while, then waved its tentacles, probably as a greeting.

After saying hello, the taciturn senior who was immersed in the group chat disappeared into the water again.

"Elder Han loves aquatic spirit beasts. Besides Senior Wanju, there are also the giant spirit fish Shenzhou, Jiaomang Huangze, and the Shenhai clam Guanyue couple. They are all aquatic creatures."

"The Yue-Guan couple? Are they from those big clams?" Zhang Ze asked.

"Yes, they are the offspring of these two. That's why those little divine clams are snatching pearls every day and no one can stop them." Li Jue shrugged.

"Elder Han doesn't care?" Zhang Ze asked.

Li Jue sighed when he heard this, "Ever since Elder Han..."

".Gone?" Zhang Ze asked in a low voice.

Li Jue was breathing heavily when he said this. Hearing his tone, Zhang Ze immediately thought of the saying that some spiritual beasts have longer lifespans than humans.

Damn lifespan theory.

Li Jue looked at Zhang Ze blankly, "Where are we going? Elder Han is in the Dragon Palace. I mean, he's usually very busy and doesn't have time to take care of these things."

Zhang Ze, “.”

"It's just in front. I'll take you to see Elder Han."

Li Jue, who was panting while speaking, dodged Zhang Ze's waist and led Zhang Ze to continue forward.

This Dragon Palace was built by Elder Han. Ever since he felt that his talent for cultivation had reached its limit, he has spent a long time studying how to get the fish ashore.

He felt that the water wolf fish was a very good spiritual beast and was not rare. After reaching the golden elixir stage, it could dominate the same level in the water and could also fight in the air when it came ashore. Its future was even more promising.

As long as the problem of the water wolf fish being a complete waste on the shore before it reaches the golden elixir stage is solved, the water wolf fish can be a very good spiritual pet.

At least it won't happen again. Once the disciple finds out that the most suitable spirit beast is the water wolf fish, he will say "my life is over".

Zhang Ze felt that this was probably the obsession of water trainers.

"It ruins a creature's life." Zhang Ze muttered softly.

"right here."

Li Jue and Zhang Ze stopped in front of a majestic bronze door. There were countless aquatic creatures carved on the door, and a giant dragon was encircled in the center.

Looking at the gate in front of him, Zhang Ze couldn't imagine the scenery behind the gate for a moment.

What's behind the bronze door?
After all, it is somewhat difficult to accept that a group of boxing idiots suddenly tell you that they can also deal with biotechnology.

It's understandable that Yaowang Valley and his people were hybridizing, after all, spiritual plants are plants. Zhang Ze could imagine using a golden hoe to grow rice, and he could also imagine using a spiritual hoe to grow spiritual rice.

But among the spirit beasts.
Zhang Ze threw away the messy thoughts in his mind and was about to push the door when Li Jue grabbed him.

"This bronze door is locked. Let's go through the small door over there." Li Jue pointed to a small bronze door on the left wall and said to Zhang Ze.

Behind the bronze door.

There was no strange alien spaceship that came from somewhere in the universe and got lost here.

Or a biotechnology laboratory with a cyber style.

Nor is it the evil alternate dimension of the Yabo people.

In front of him was a huge blue water curtain.

A blurry figure behind the water curtain was busy with something. Perhaps he noticed the arrival of Zhang Ze and Li Jue, and walked towards the water curtain.

The water curtain was lifted, and an old man appeared in front of the two.

"Elder Han." Li Jue bowed respectfully to the visitor.

Elder Han’s real name is Han Shan. He has a strong build, but speaks very kindly. After learning the purpose of Li Jue’s visit, he let the two of them into the water curtain.

Behind the water curtain is a hall with several magic arrays arranged in sequence on both sides. A huge water ball is suspended in each magic array.

Various aquatic animals swim freely in the water ball. These animals are just ordinary beasts and fish. Although they are different from normal species, they have no spirituality.

Several magic circles on the ceiling above are operating automatically, connecting the front hall and the back hall.

There is also a water curtain at the back of the hall, but in the magic circle behind this water curtain, there are giant eggs of different colors.

A trace of spiritual energy is being injected into these giant eggs.

Although I don’t understand it, I always feel that it looks very powerful.

However, the most attractive thing is the pool in the center of the hall, in which a strange little animal is swimming back and forth in the water.

The little beast has a streamlined body covered with green scales, with only a little mane growing on its neck and tail.

Except that its limbs are webbed claws instead of hooves, it is 80% similar to the Qilin that also exists in ancient legends.

When it swims in the water, its limbs are pressed close to its body, and a thin layer of light curtain covers its surface.

Seeing strangers coming, the little beast was not afraid. It poked its head out of the water, stared at Li Jue and Zhang Ze with its big eyes for a while, and then jumped out of the water...

Then it jumped to the ground with a plop, turned over and jumped onto the soft cushion prepared for it, and then began to pupate.

It seems that it can't walk on all fours yet...

"Qilin?" Li Jue stepped forward and picked up the little animal from the ground. The little animal did not struggle, but rolled comfortably in Li Jue's arms. After drying its body, it found a comfortable position to lie down and yawned loudly.

Elder Han shook his head. "I don't know. It hatched from a water wolffish egg."

"On the day of the strange phenomenon in Wolong Lake, it hatched from the egg." Elder Han glanced at Zhang Ze when he said this.

Zhang Ze looked at the 'Qilin' in Li Jue's arms and sensed it with his spiritual sense for a moment.

Make sure this little guy is not a country bumpkin.

This 'Qilin' probably didn't like being stared at. It blinked its big eyes and suddenly spit at Zhang Ze without warning. Then, it immediately buried its head in Li Jue's arms as if nothing had happened, pretending to be pitiful.

Looking at this shameless look, Zhang Ze was once again sure that this was definitely not a village.

However, this little thing was not convinced by Zhang Ze, but seemed to like Li Jue very much. After lying in Li Jue's arms for a while, it crawled onto Li Jue's shoulder.

Seeing its limp appearance, Li Jue looked at Elder Han and asked, "Does it think it's just a water wolf fish?"

Elder Han nodded.

"I think the changes in this little guy are related to what happened that day. Maybe he's not the only one who has changed."

After listening to Elder Han's speculation, Zhang Ze remembered what A'li had told him before about the village.

As one of the ancestral dragons, Xiang's characteristics are very magical and seem to be related to life.

After it turned into a point of light and disappeared, the power contained in its dragon body also immediately dissipated and returned to heaven and earth.

Zhang Ze suspected that the water wolf fish that turned into a "Qilin" was affected by the magical power of Xiang.

It just so happened that at this time, his broken system finally did what it was supposed to do.

[Awakening mission, return home, investigate the changes in Wolongze, subsequent missions to be unlocked]

[Walking for the first time, helping the Dragonborn Little Water Wolffish learn to walk]

The first task can be discussed later, but Zhang Ze has a way to solve the second task of helping the little water wolffish walk now.

After Zhang Ze asked Elder Han, he learned that there was nothing wrong with the little guy's legs and feet, but he just had no concept of walking in his mind.

Elder Han also tried to teach the little guy to walk, but to no avail.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Ze thought of doing some physical therapy.

Qianji Pavilion is never short of strange things, such as the mechanical exoskeleton that helps disabled people stand up again.
As a by-product of the development of the Thousand Machine Armor, this thing isn't very useful for fighting, but it's just right for assisting walking in daily life.

Zhang Ze asked Li Jue to measure the size of the little guy's limbs, and then took a photo of the little guy. He planned to send it to Lily later and asked her to find time to make a small one.

But when he told Elder Han and Li Jue about his thoughts, he came up with a new idea.

Zhang Ze immediately sorted out his thoughts.

"The experimental model that the Thousand Machine Armor is currently developing is currently only suitable for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage."

"The most embarrassing thing about the aquatic spirit beasts of the Beast Taming Sect is that they cannot come ashore before reaching the Golden Core stage."

"Because the Thousand Machine Armor needs to be worn, many parts need to be redesigned to avoid being too bulky, especially the legs and limbs."

"But these aquatic creatures don't have legs! All we need to do is replace their upper bodies with fish tanks!"

"We can even do without a fish tank. If the Beast Taming Ring can be improved, can we control the Thousand Machine Armor Warriors from within the Beast Taming Ring?"

"If this method is feasible, it will benefit not only aquatic spirit beasts, but also giant beasts with limited mobility!"

'Qianji Pavilion can also collect a large amount of test data to prepare for subsequent development.'

"No one loses out, it's a win-win situation."

Zhang Ze told the two of them his thoughts. Li Jue's eyes lit up, while Elder Han seemed to be thinking about something.

After leaving Elder Han, Li Jue became a little excited and talked to Zhang Ze about some of his ideas along the way, which were nothing more than more explosions and greater firepower.

Zhang Ze felt that this kid was a bit of a waste of his talent in the Beast Taming Sect. He should go to the Exploding Sky Gang to shine and contribute explosions to a better tomorrow.

When he reached the main gate of the Dragon Palace, Zhang Ze looked up and saw Xia Yan walking out from another corridor.

Miss Xia also saw Zhang Ze and Li Jue. Zhang Ze, who considered himself a romantic, looked at Miss Xia's face and immediately realized what she meant.

As an excellent wingman, Zhang Ze gave Li Jue a look that said "I understand what you mean, take care of your body" without waiting for him to speak.

Then he patted Li Jue on the shoulder and walked towards the gate of Dragon Palace alone.

Opening the brocade box on the table, Zhang Ze took out the specially made small walnut, called the big octopus wrist house, and left the Dragon Palace on the bubble.

When he looked back, Li Jue was being dragged into the Dragon Palace by Xia Yan.

When we came out of the water, it was already night.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse tonight. If it weren't for a big clam emerging from the lake from time to time to spray water at the moon and play with pearls, this would be a great place to enjoy the scenery.

Zhang Ze stood by the lake, watching the big clams jumping out of the water from time to time and thinking about what to do next.

Because of Xiang's death, some special changes must have occurred in Wolongze, and some monsters or plants may have been affected.

Judging from the tasks given by the system, it is very likely related to Xiang's early awakening from the stone pill.

However, Zhang Ze was not particularly anxious about this matter, because all the people in Wolongze were masters of the Beast Taming Sect.

The giant turtle Zhuluo, several elders of the Beast Taming Sect, and a large number of Jindan stage cultivators were patrolling and searching there.

One is to prevent any strangers from approaching, and the other is to look for possible traces left by the villagers.

No one cares more about the affairs of the village than Zhuluo.

On my side, the purpose of coming to the Beast Taming Sect this time was successfully accomplished, and my Beast Taming Sect's golden elixir was also found.

All that was left was to tell Lily about making an exoskeleton for the little Qilin and the beast-controlling version of the Thousand Machine Armor test machine.

But Zhang Ze really didn't want to disturb Lily now.

Because Lily was really annoying, when he asked Li Yueqi about Li Jue's location today, he noticed that Lily had sent him at least 99 messages.

I think it must be because of the video of him stepping on the clouds and slaying the dragon.

There's absolutely no end to the trouble I'm going to have with Lily now.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's have some peace and quiet tonight."

After telling Li Yueqi about his and Li Jue's meeting with Elder Han today, the "little Qilin" and his own speculations, and asking them to pay attention to the abnormal creatures appearing in Wolong Lake, Zhang Ze put the little walnut away.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the only thing left to do is to open the box. I wonder what I can get this time.

The last time I unboxed a box was at the Sword Sect's headquarters.

However, things did not always go as planned. Zhang Ze wanted to be alone, but someone was still thinking about him.

Feeling that connection, Zhang Ze sighed.

He came to a deserted place and took out Wuming's Black King Order like a thief.

The person who contacted him was Wuming, the immediate superior of the deceased envoy of the Hundred Demons Sect.

Elder Wuyang of the Hundred Demons Sect.

This contact was not a phone call, but two one-sided messages.

[Immediately proceed to the Beast Tamer Sect to assist the Demon Sect's undercover agent 'Yudong' in escaping.]

【The connection code is】

[After this contact, I will immediately go into hiding. There will be no new missions for the headquarters.]

Zhang Ze put away the Black King Order, looked at the moon in the sky, and wanted to light a cigarette.

“That’s what happened.”

He muttered something under his breath.
