Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 391 If Li doesn't teach, Zhang is at fault

Before becoming a teacher and tutoring others, everyone is confident, and Zhang Ze was no exception.

In Zhang Ze's view, Lily, as a being made of flesh, cannot be categorized as a Star God.

The old thing is impossible to teach because it doesn't understand what Lily is.

Therefore, to teach Lily, we need a process of adapting and transforming our thinking, and we need to start from the perspective of being people-oriented, just like Zhang Ze.

However, it wasn't until Zhang Ze personally intervened that he realized he might have been overthinking things.

Some people just can't be taught.

"Sit still, take a deep breath, pay attention to your breathing rhythm, use the method I just taught you to circulate your energy, and concentrate," Zhang Ze instructed, squatting down next to Lily.

"I'm getting into it!" Lily exclaimed, sitting cross-legged.

“Okay, continue.” Zhang Ze squatted down to the side and worked hard as well. “Sensing that energy, first guide it to the dantian.”

Lily: "Yes, it's lured, it's lured, it's luring again."

This led to a long and drawn-out discussion...

"Where did it lead?" Zhang Ze asked in a low voice.

"It's almost in, but not in yet. Oh wait, it seems to have split. My back is itchy now. What should I do, boss?" Lily asked as if nothing was wrong.

Zhang Ze, "?"

Some things are pronounced as "forked" and written as "out of place."
However, before Zhang Ze could intervene to save her, a beam of spiritual light flew in, sealing Lily's pulse points and pushing back the forked spiritual energy.

The one who made the move was Zhang Ze's master, Li Guanqi.

The old man sat to the side from the very beginning, watching Zhang Ze teach.

Although nominally a Dharma protector, what he did was indeed to safeguard Lily.

But Zhang Ze always felt that the old man was just watching a show, enjoying his own misfortune.

There was no other way; the fact that his master had already eaten half a bag of sunflower seeds was simply too unconvincing.

"Master, please help me." Zhang Ze turned to his master for help, admitting his weakness.

However, Old Li smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said, "I don't know how to teach apprentices. You do it yourself."

"How could you not know? Aren't Fu Ji and I your apprentices? You taught us so well," Zhang Ze said, sounding aggrieved.

"Heh, you flatter me, kid. I really haven't taught you anything. You two are so easy to take care of, even easier than the money tree on my balcony."

"It also needs to be watered and the soil loosened occasionally. As long as you two are buried in the ground, your cultivation level will increase."

Zhang Ze looked at his master and felt that he was being sarcastic or mocking, but he had no evidence.

Seeing Zhang Ze's bitter expression, Old Li put down his teacup and offered a suggestion, "Education requires tailoring instruction to individual needs. Think about what Lily is good at?"

Zhang Ze scratched his face and looked at Lily, who was sitting to the side meditating with her head tilted to the side.

"Old man, what kind of look is that? I can do everything, okay? I'm a jack-of-all-trades." Lily said, completely oblivious to her surroundings.

Although Lily had a big face, Zhang Ze actually came up with a solution after being reminded by his master.

Zhang Ze flipped his hand and conjured up his Sword Sect Golden Core.

The golden elixir changed color in Zhang Ze's hands.

"Lily, look carefully. Treat this golden core of mine as a magical artifact. Look at it with your eyes and feel it with your heart."

Zhang Ze placed the golden elixir in Lily's hand, and at the same time, pointed a finger at the golden elixir, using the Star God Technique to control the golden elixir to glow.

Lily stared wide-eyed at Zhang Ze's golden core.

As Zhang Ze repeatedly used the technique, on the third attempt, Lily suddenly exclaimed "Oh!"

"Yes."

As she spoke, Lily gestured for Zhang Ze to let go, then she picked up Zhang Ze's golden core and closed her eyes.

To be honest, this was the first time Zhang Ze had ever experienced having his golden core manipulated by someone else.

It felt really strange, but thankfully Lily didn't split this time. As the spiritual energy around Lily rose, the golden light that had been covering her body began to slowly dissipate.

Under Lily's precise control, golden characters even formed and swirled above her head.

【Lily is amazing!】

"Invincible, I am indeed clever. I can learn this little trick in no time." Lily the Dragon King said with a crooked mouth.

However, before Zhang Ze could even finish his crooked mouth, after he saw that things were done and withdrew his golden core by making a hand seal, Lily started to glow again.

It's even brighter than before.

Zhang Ze, “.”

He suddenly had a bad feeling, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and he conjured up his golden core again.

As the golden elixir fell into Lily's hands, the golden light around Lily suddenly went out.

Zhang Ze, “.”

Lily, "."

Zhang Ze tried several more times and found that his golden core seemed to turn into something like a resistor in front of Lily, this strange third wheel.

It's unclear how Lily understood this, but she had to hold Zhang Ze's golden core to activate the technique and stop herself from emitting light.

"Boss, how much does it cost to rent this Golden Core for a day?" Lily asked.

"This isn't a toy, I don't lend it out. Besides, even if I did lend it to you, I couldn't lend it to you for life." Zhang Ze put the golden core back and turned to look at his master.

Zhang Ze knew that his master also had a bit of a hoarding habit and liked to carry all his possessions with him. The storage ring contained the treasures his master had collected over the years from treasure hunting.

Old Li understood, waved his hand, and a white light shone from the storage ring on his fingertip. In the blink of an eye, various golden beads and jade appeared in front of Zhang Ze and Lili.

Monster cores, golden pearls from the sea, exquisite celestial treasures—all are readily available.

"Let's try them and see if these can replace them," Old Li said.

After Lily respectfully thanked Old Li, she stepped forward and tried each of the pills, but none of them reacted.

Lily looked at Zhang Ze again with longing eyes.

"Hey boss, can I borrow yours for a couple of days? I'll return it to you in a few days."

Zhang Ze: "Climb."

Lily's situation is a bit troublesome. It's unclear how she understands that spell. To control it, one would need a golden core.

And this golden elixir, in all the world, apart from Zhang Ze, there really isn't another person who can provide rental services.

Therefore, to solve Lily's problem once and for all, she needs to become a Golden Core cultivator herself.

Zhang Ze looked at Lily, "I remember you've been stuck at the tenth level of Foundation Establishment for quite a while now. Your foundation is solid enough, why don't you try to break through?"

"How do we break through?" Lily asked, just like a curious child.

Looking at Lily, Zhang Ze suddenly realized that the problem seemed to have returned to square one.

"Sit down, take a deep breath, pay attention to your breathing rhythm, and concentrate." Zhang Ze squatted down next to Lily.

The result is obvious.

Lily has split again.
"Don't be discouraged, boss. Cheer up. You have to believe in yourself. You can definitely teach me." Lily, who almost went berserk again, patted Zhang Ze on the shoulder and comforted him.

As for Old Li, having probably had enough of the excitement, he put down his teacup, lightly flicked his sleeves, and prepared to demonstrate his true skills as the Sword Elder of the Sword Sect.

"Lily, don't pay any attention to him. I'll teach you." Old Li said confidently.

"Oh! Then I'll have to trouble Elder Li!" Lily said sweetly, quickly returning to the prayer mat and sitting obediently cross-legged, waiting for Elder Li's guidance.

Old Li, "First, sit down, take a deep breath, and pay attention to your breathing rhythm."

Another half day has passed.
Seeing that Lily was making no progress, Zhang Ze stood behind Lao Li and massaged his master's shoulders.

"Master, you need to have confidence in yourself. Your teaching skills are still quite good. The main reason you keep failing is that you always play high-level games. If you had more normal students, you would have had students all over the world by now."

Zhang Zekuan comforted him.

Old Li, "Shut up."

Zhang Ze: "Hey, apprentice, shut up."

After a long silence, Zhang Ze suddenly thought of someone and whispered to his master, "If all else fails, how about we hire a game booster?" Old Li asked, "What's a game booster?"

Zhang Ze, "is someone else practicing on behalf of another."

Old Li, "?"

During the days that Lily tormented Zhang Ze and his apprentice Lao Li, Qianji Town enjoyed sunny and pleasant weather.

It was the height of summer, and the weather was wonderful.

Meimei, wearing sunglasses, lay on the rooftop with her legs crossed, basking in the sun and enjoying the good life.

After Tongtong's family and Baidi moved to Dongzhou, Nadutong's headquarters naturally moved there as well. Since Nadutong no longer needed to serve Baidi, Meimei, the head of the secret service, naturally retired.

Her life, which was constantly restarting, is now a thing of the past. She now enjoys a new life every day.

However, Meimei did not reshape her physical body, but remained in the form of a rag doll because she found this form to be very convenient.

You don't have to spend money to go anywhere.

Looking for fun, she went to the amusement park, and because of her height, she got in for free.

Go to the Ghost Shadow Theater to watch a ghost shadow play. Not only do you not need to buy a ticket, but you can even sit in the front row by just being cute to the girls.

When she's bored, she can sometimes go to the Thousand Machines Pavilion dungeon and play the role of the evil fleece, chasing the cultivators who come to the trial all over the place.

Overall, I'm very happy.

As for food, Meimei doesn't care.

Just as Zhang Ze is not a normal person, she is not a normal demon either.

Due to some unexpected events, her soul underwent a transformation, resulting in a physique that was half soul cultivator and half artifact spirit.

The physical body is external to her; the soul is the essence.

According to the old man and Sister Wang, if nothing unexpected had happened, the demon race might have had another demon lord...

Of course, Meimei doesn't care about this. Let bygones be bygones, and let bygones be forgotten.

For her now, even the title of Heavenly Venerable cannot compare to the comfort of the warm afternoon sun.

She turned herself over, took out the little walnut, and decided to see what new fun awaited her today.

But as soon as he opened it, he received a call from Zhang Ze.

"Want to earn some extra money, baa?" Zhang Ze asked.

"Not profitable."

Now, Meimei, who doesn't spend money on anything, just wants to slack off.

Zhang Ze said, "Do me a favor, and I'll give you one of the latest Little Walnut models as a gift from now on."

Meimei: "Hmm... I'll think about it. What do you want me to help you with?"

Zhang Ze said, "This is important business. Only you can handle this. For my master's sake, come and do it."

Zhang Ze stepped aside, giving his master a shot.

Seeing Old Li, Meimei sighed, "Alright, I'm coming right now."

Ten minutes later, Meimei appeared in front of Lily. She looked up at Lily, then turned back to look at Zhang Ze.

"You want me to possess her body every afternoon? And then cultivate for her? Three hours a day, until I help her break through to the Golden Core stage?"

Although she was capable of doing the job, Meimei still felt that Zhang Ze was a bit mentally ill.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to praise Ge Ze's unique thinking or to thank him for trusting me so much.

Meimei turned to look at Lily. Because she wasn't very familiar with Lily, she spoke somewhat reservedly.

"It's one thing for Zhang Ze to be mentally ill, but...you really trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I might do something wrong?"

Lily, sitting on the futon, thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I'm not afraid. What good would it do you to harm me?"

Meow, "..."

That makes sense.

"Okay, then sit down and relax, I'll go in and give it a try."

Seeing that Lily had agreed, Meimei stopped being coy. A circle of milky-white divine soul emerged from the top of the doll's head and then rushed into Lily's body.

Lily, being too relaxed, didn't feel anything. If she had to describe it, it was like having a new roommate in her small room.

After carefully entering Lily's body, Meimei occasionally let out a surprised cry of confusion until the milky white soul completely merged into it.

Lily spoke, making a bleating sound.

"This job is a bit tricky, you'll have to pay more."

Zhang Ze, "?"

Meimei, “Don’t look at me like that. I’m not extorting you. This little girl’s situation is a bit special. Hmm… how did you come up with that word… right, Shit Mountain Code. To be honest, the fact that she’s still alive is already quite a talent.”

Zhang Ze, "..."

"Thank you for your help. What do you want?" Zhang Ze asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it later. I just mentioned it..." Meimei's words suddenly stopped halfway through, and after a moment, she switched back to Lily's voice.

“I made Meimei give me back my mouth. By the way, boss, I suddenly have an idea. What do you think about us starting a cultivation service in the future?”
"Hire a soul cultivator to break through to the next level; honest and fair dealing for all ages."

"Whether the customer prefers the 'senior grandfather' style or the 'enthusiastic young woman' style, the choice is yours, we can even..."

"Let's talk about it later. Let's solve your problem first," Zhang Ze interrupted Lily's money-making fantasies.

Lily, "Oh..."

With Lily's matter temporarily settled, Zhang Ze asked his master to look after her before leaving the secret chamber used for cultivation.

He still had some serious business to attend to, concerning the so-called 'shit mountain code'.

There is more than one 'shit mountain', and in a sense, Zhang Ze himself is one as well.

Moreover, his situation is even more complicated. Lily can find Meimei to take her place, but Zhang Ze can't. There are some things he has to solve on his own.

Upon reaching the depths of the building, Zhang Ze pushed open the door and entered, but as soon as he looked up, he saw his junior sister standing with her hands on her hips, looking at him.

Xiangxiang floated behind her junior sister, shrugged, and indicated that it had nothing to do with her.

"What...what are you doing here?" Zhang Ze asked in a low voice, his eyes darting around.

Junior sister, "Why didn't you tell me the truth when I came to arrest you?"

"What matter? When did I lie to you?" Zhang Ze chuckled, trying to brush it off.

Chen Qin, "Why did you hide your health problems from me?"

Zhang Ze looked at Xiangxiang, whose color was getting fainter and fainter and whose fragrance was drifting further and further away.

Xiangxiang shook her head. "I didn't say anything. She found out herself... You guys talk. I have something to do."

slipped.

Once only the two of them remained in the core area, Zhang Ze sighed, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just..."

"Stop saying all this nonsense, let me see what's wrong with your body, maybe I can help you."

Chen Qin stepped forward and stared into Zhang Ze's eyes.

With a sigh, Zhang Ze took his junior sister's hand.

"You, your trick won't work on me. Don't try to fool me anymore. I already know..." Chen Qin struggled to shake off Zhang Ze's hand.

But Zhang Ze shook his head and gripped the handle even tighter.

At the same time, Zhang Ze's aura was also rising steadily, and the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator pressed down on Chen Qin. But when the aura reached its peak, suddenly, everything disappeared.

Everything returns to nothing.

Along with his aura, Zhang Ze's right hand, which was holding his junior sister's hand, also vanished without a trace.

It was completely empty, there was nothing there...
