Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 210 Fantastic Beasts in the Ditch

"I found out, that place is right here"

"Can you please come out first? You look so disgusting now."

Li Yueqi frowned, looking at Zhang Ze's current appearance, and signaled him not to speak so hastily.

"Oh, indeed. I'll be right out."

At this time, the Xuanjian Treasure Mirror was placed flat on the table, with ripples on the mirror surface. Only Zhang Ze's head was exposed when he was talking to everyone.

At first glance, it looked like he was being beheaded and displayed in public.

After pulling his entire body out of the mirror, Zhang Ze placed Yun Ergen, who no longer had the aura of Taoist Greedy Wolf, on the table.

It was not known whether it was Yun'ergen's problem or the Taoist Tan Lang's own fault, but after waking up from the dream in Xuanjian, Zhang Ze only interrogated him for a while, and the Taoist Tan Lang fell silent.

After the greedy Taoist's spirit dissipated, Yun'ergen's golden color faded and turned into the color of earth gada. The baby also closed his eyes and curled up into a ball.

Sleep peacefully, without any evil thoughts.

Seeing this, the little girl quietly slipped to Zhang Ze's side, wanting to secretly take another bite.

"Don't eat it."

After stopping the little girl who was planning to steal food, he told Elder Han and others the location of the valley.

Linglu Valley west of Wolongze.

Although Linglu Valley is named after the spirit deer, there are no spirit beasts within. This is simply because the earth vein is cut off by the strange peak behind the ravine. Compared to other places in Guanlong Mountain, this place has less spiritual energy.

It's normal that the Beastmaster Sect didn't pay attention to this place during the investigation.

"Let's go and take a look. I'll go and notify Zhuluo." Elder Han waved his hand to disperse the water that enveloped the room.

At this time, the first floor has been cleaned up, and Lily and the others have been invited to visit the Beast Taming Sect. It is estimated that there will probably not be any trouble.

But Zhang Ze always felt uneasy.
He took out the walnuts.

[Zhang Ze: When you go to someone else's house, try to be quiet and don't bring shame to our Qianji Pavilion and the Sword Sect.]

Lily: Don't worry, Boss. I promise to bring honor to Qianji Pavilion.

After instructing Lily, Zhang Ze put away the walnuts, but when he passed the counter, he suddenly remembered something.

After the Taoist Tan Lang woke up from his dream, Zhang Ze had a "chat" with him again and asked him some secrets.

He also knew that the Taoist Greedy Wolf came here today because of the well in the backyard.

The things in the well must be retrieved quickly. After all, evil cultivators like the Taoist Greedy Wolf probably don't have good things hidden. If they are left there, there's no guarantee that something bad will happen in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ze stopped in front of the counter and said to the shopkeeper who was still drinking to calm himself down.

"Boss, there is a well in the backyard of your shop, right?"

"Yes." The shopkeeper put down his wine glass and rubbed his face with his fat hands, as if this could help him calm down.

"In that well"

"You mean baby?"

Before Zhang Ze finished speaking, the fat shopkeeper already understood.

"You know?"

"I know. I knew it when I bought this shop. There's a door at the bottom of the well, and inside the door is a path. At the end is a magic circle. Kick it and it will light up."

"Kick? Bright?"

Hearing the shopkeeper speak so easily, Zhang Ze was unable to react.

"Yeah, that door too. I fiddled with it a bit, gave it a kick, and it opened."

"Are there no traps on the door or in the secret passage?" Zhang Ze asked.

The shopkeeper shook his head blankly.

Li Jue became curious after hearing this. That was where Taoist Tan Lang hid his treasures, not someone's cellar. How could he just walk in and kick the secret door open?

Unwilling to believe in evil, he went straight to the backyard and jumped into the deep well connected to the underground river.

There was a structure similar to a karez under the well. Li Jue stood beside the underground river and looked around but found no trace of any secret door.

He took out a torch-like magical weapon from his ring.

There are four sacred elephants carved on the top of the instrument, with their heads facing the four directions of east, south, west and north respectively.

The magic weapon was activated, the elephant head raised its trunk, golden light caused ripples in the air, and a well-hidden secret door appeared in front of Li Jue.

Li Jue walked to the secret door, thinking about the shopkeeper's words, and kicked it twice.
After a while.

Two loud bangs were heard from the well in the backyard, shaking the house three times.

Another moment passed.

The ragged Li Jue returned to the lobby and gave a thumbs up to the fat shopkeeper.

"Amazing! You're really lucky! Don't go down the well in the backyard again. We from the Beast Taming Sect will send someone to deal with it."

The shopkeeper was also frightened by Li Jue's expression and nodded in agreement.

"Where is that thing?" Zhang Ze asked.

"I sold you out." The fat shopkeeper blinked his eyes, looking very innocent.

"You can sell this? That's something an evil cultivator does." Although this answer was somewhat expected, Zhang Ze still felt that this fat shopkeeper was really outrageous.

"I sold your Beast Taming Sect." The fat shopkeeper rubbed his hands awkwardly. "Ten years ago, you opened an auction house in the east of the city, but it later went bankrupt. That's when I sold it."

After saying that, the shopkeeper took out an account book from under the counter, turned to a page and pointed at the record on it.

"You can check it out. I really sold it to you."

Seeing Zhang Ze's confusion, Li Jue whispered to him, "My father opened that business. He often bought high and sold low, and he lost interest in it, so he closed it down after only five years."

"Then what did you do with the money you earned from selling the spirit stones?" Zhang Ze asked again.

Hearing this question, the shopkeeper felt a little embarrassed and scratched the back of his head.

"I also wanted to practice, so I spent all my money at the auction house again."

The shopkeeper turned another page in the account book and pointed to the entry. "Please take a look."

It was indeed as the shopkeeper said, the items recorded on that page were all medicinal herbs and other items needed for body building and Qi refining, and the quantity was huge.

Comparing with the previous page, the prices are almost the same, it doesn't look fake.

Moreover, although the auction house run by Li Jue's father has gone bankrupt, the accounts are still there, and we will know the truth when we check it out.

The life of this shopkeeper can be described as tough. There are secret treasures in the basement of the inn he owns, and he even kicked these treasures out with his feet.

The luck is really against the sky.

"So, shopkeeper, have you succeeded in practicing?" Although it was a bit impolite, Zhang Ze thought that the shopkeeper's temperament was indeed not that of a cultivator.

"That's it." The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and answered vaguely.

He stretched out his fat hand, closed his eyes and concentrated, his face turning the color of liver.

After brewing for a long time, a spiritual energy vortex the size of a soybean was finally gathered in the palm of his hand.

With this amount of spiritual energy, it is not even possible to refine and ignite a talisman.

Very shameful.

All I can say is that some people are not born to be able to practice cultivation. Even if they are lucky, increasing the dosage will not help.
After leaving the inn, Elder Han teleported directly to Linglu Valley with a few people.

The scenery in the valley was exactly the same as what Zhang Ze saw in his dream.

Ordinary trees, unfamiliar weeds, the only special thing is the dragon-scale-like moss.

Of course, this is the opinion of brother and sister Zhang Ze and Li Yueqi.

But this is not the case in the eyes of Xia Yan and Xiao Fu Ji.

Xia Yan felt that she had become rich. With just a glance, she saw several extinct ancient spiritual herbs.

Plants that have disappeared in time and only exist in ancient books and notes are everywhere here.

Although these ancient plants are not magical medicines that can bring the dead back to life, many of them have some strange and magical uses.

Xia Yan's intuition told her that these herbs could definitely be used to make several new pill recipes.

"Ah, this is Jade Dragon Flower! This is Dragon Wood Moss! This, this, this, Li Jue, don't move! You can't step on that thing under your feet!"

Xia Yan only hated that his cultivation was too low and he didn't have the ability to split himself into two and become a god. He couldn't see it all, he couldn't see it at all.

The little Fu Ji felt like she had arrived at a large self-service cafeteria. She crawled into the ground, and her muffled exclamations kept moving underground.

"Sweet! Everything is sweet!"

Just as botanical archaeology was a great success, new discoveries were also made in biology.

"Come here." In order to prevent Xia Yan's blood pressure from exploding, Li Yueqi has been walking in a floating manner since she entered the valley.

I was afraid that Xia Yan would accidentally step on some unfamiliar flowers or grass and die on the spot.

Zhang Ze also followed Li Yueqi into the grove. After carefully pushing aside a strangely shaped bush, Zhang Ze was brought by Li Yueqi to the edge of a pond.

In the pond, a group of little unicorns of different colors are splashing in the water.

They differ not only in color but also in some details.

However, most of them were like the one in Elder Han's arms, unable to walk on all fours, but just twisting and turning in the water. Seeing Zhang Ze and Li Yueqi coming, they poked their heads out of the water, stared at the two with their heads tilted, and then began to spray water together.

"What will this valley become in a while?" Zhang Ze couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.

In the dream of Taoist Tanlang simulated by the Xuanjian Treasure Mirror, Linglu Valley had not yet reached this point, and the fish, frogs, insects and birds were still normal.

but now.
Zhang Ze looked down and saw a small Qilin the size of a palm jumping out from behind a bush and onto the surface of his shoes.

Looking at the way this little Qilin was lying down and moving, Zhang Ze guessed that it was probably a toad.

"Let's go inside and take a look." Li Yueqi said.

As the two continued to move forward into the woods on both sides of the valley, they discovered more spiritual beasts they had never seen before.

Not only are they limited to Qilin, they also saw a kind of Teng Snake whose body is like a vine, but can gather or disperse.

A small turtle with dark green color, fine hairs on its feet, and detachable leg shells.

A bird-lizard standing on two legs, covered with scales, holding a stone in its arms, with a cunning look on its face.

After walking for only a short while, Zhang Ze and Li Yueqi discovered these new gadgets.

Due to the influence of the village, the environment of the entire Linglu Valley began to evolve into a primitive state.

"Not all animals have become like this." Zhang Ze raised his hand and pointed at the grass, grabbing a gray rabbit from the air.

The rabbit's appearance has not changed, but now it looks out of place in the Linglu Valley.

"Ancient bloodline?" Li Yueqi also realized the crux of the problem.

Not all ancient creatures became extinct; some evolved into other creatures and survived to this day in another form.

Most of the remaining ones are passed down through bloodline.

This is the case with the Red Tiger Ape, the spiritual beast of the Beast Taming Sect. After reaching adulthood and advancing, some of them will revert to their ancestral bloodline, growing red armor on their arms and a single horn on their heads.

But such a large-scale and thorough atavism phenomenon is indeed unheard of.

"Let's go back first. Your grandfather has to make the decision on this matter." Zhang Ze let go of the rabbit and said to Li Yueqi.

Yaowang Valley, thatched cottage.

Li Wenzhou, the old leader of the Beast Taming Sect, drummed his fingers on the table.

"Old quack, can you help me with this?"

The old quack doctor mentioned by Li Wenzhou, Qin Lang, the master of Medicine King Valley, was now tending to a spiritual plant with his back to Li Wenzhou.

Qin Lang was wearing a loose robe in the Xizhou style. His skin was slightly dark, and his figure was much thinner than Li Wenzhou's muscular figure.

And he looks to be only in his thirties.

Just like cigarettes are divided into traditional and progressive ones.

This group of immortal cultivators also have the same opinion on appearance, and are divided into two factions.

Traditionalists like to let things take their course. An old man is an old man, and an old man in the family is like a treasure.

The reformists believe that it is good to be young as long as your heart is young.

However, although Qin Lang looks like a reformist like the leader of the Sword Sect, his mentality and way of doing things are much more old-fashioned.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Let me think about it." Qin Lang turned around and looked at Li Wenzhou and sighed.

"What's there to worry about? It's not a big deal. I just asked you to help find a prescription."

Li Wenzhou, who was straightforward in character, felt a little angry when he saw Qin Lang like this.

"Instead of asking me, why not ask the Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain? They'll dig up everything in the world and they'll always find what you want.

"Dongzhou, or rather, our Medicine King Valley, currently has no clues about the Dream Yuan Pill."

Qin Lang sat down and slowly poured Li Wenzhou a cup of tea.

"There might be clues to this thing in the west. After all, during the East-West War, many of our things were left there."

"Then why don't you go and ask?" Li Wenzhou said.

"No, there was some unpleasantness there a while ago. If I go there, it's easy for a fight to happen." Qin Lang shook his head.

Qin Lang didn't seem to want to talk about this, so he found an excuse to change the subject.

"As for what's happening in the west, you might as well ask your son. Isn't he living there with my niece?"

When talking about his son, Li Wenzhou also felt a toothache.

If he could find it, he would have gone looking for it long ago.

But from Qin Lang's words, Li Wenzhou tasted something else. He always felt that Qin Lang seemed too indifferent to this matter.

This old quack doctor's words were full of hidden meaning, as if he was fishing.

Thinking of this, Li Wenzhou stopped wasting time. After drinking the medicinal tea in front of him, he threw the teacup on the table.

"It's unpalatable, let's go!"

As soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Qin Lang again.

"Don't worry, I didn't say I won't help."

"Fuck away!"

"Let's talk business first. If it's done, I'll go to the west and ask for you."

Li Wenzhou frowned, thinking that this old quack doctor was not holding back his fart well.

"what business?"

"Sell me some land."

"where?"

"Spiritual Deer Valley."

"Fuck off!"

Li Wenzhou looked at someone as if he was a fool. He flipped his hand and the small walnut that his granddaughter had given him as a gift appeared in his hand.

Above are a few photos.

Li Jue was like a wooden man, and was ordered by Xia Yan not to move.

Zhang Ze was squatting by the pond and playing a water fight with the little Qilin in the water, and there was an even smaller Qilin squatting on his head.

Led by Elder Han, the other elders were talking with the giant turtle Zhuluo.

Li Wenzhou kicked the little walnut into his arms.

"Please help me. I'm not unreasonable. I'll draw a circle for you in Linglu Valley and you can plant whatever you want inside."

Seeing that his attempt to get a bargain failed, Qin Lang did not blush. This time he agreed straightforwardly.

"Okay, I'll help you look it up, but I can't guarantee any results. But I have to choose where the medicine garden painting is."

"I'll decide the size." Li Wenzhou stared at Qin Lang.

"As you wish."

After the matter was settled, Qin Lang stood alone by the window, looking at the scenery in the valley and his lips moved.

Soon, a white shadow appeared behind Qin Lang.

The woman had white hair and red eyes, and spoke in a lazy tone.

"Master summoned me, what are your instructions?"

"Xiaoxue, go to Xizhou and find out where my niece is. Then go to Yaowang Valley and find your Junior Sister Xia Yan to help us choose a good place in Linglu Valley."

After Qin Lang finished speaking, there was silence for a long time behind him.

"Can I not go?" The voice sounded quite aggrieved.

Qin Lang asked, "Why?"

"I'm lazy." Xiaoxue replied.

"It's good for you to move more, go ahead." Qin Lang said as if he was coaxing a child.

"Master, why don't you go?" Xiaoxue was puzzled.

"The Beast Taming Sect is too far away, and I'm too lazy to go."

"Isn't the west side quite close?"

"I can't go west. I still owe someone money, and if I go there, I'll probably get into a fight."

"Oh."

Xiaoxue sighed and left the thatched cottage step by step.

When they arrived outside the valley, Xiaoxue's figure split into two. The two Xiaoxue looked at each other and sighed together.

"Are you going west or north?" asked one of the little snow girls.

"I don't know." The other shook his head. "Let's play rock-paper-scissors as usual."

"it is good."

"Rock, Paper, Scissors."
