Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 406 Zhang Ze, who has his own unique approach
Because there was an emergency plan in place, the rescue team arrived quickly and removed the 'body' from the site in no time.

The treatment should be administered, and the research should be conducted.

Inside the Qianji Pavilion Medical Clinic.

Li Jue and his spirit pet, Bai Xiao, each have their own bed and are receiving meticulous care.

The Star God No. 09 was then pulled back to the System Home.

Beside the hospital bed.

"Wake up, or you'll turn into a girl. I'm going to sterilize you now."

Li Yueqi's spirit beast Qinghe mischievously poked the little bird in front of it with the tip of its tail, while using its spiritual energy to manipulate objects, various small medicine bottles flying around it, concocting various poisons, ah, I mean antidotes.

"So, Qinghe was originally a veterinarian?" Zhang Ze stood to the side, looking like he had discovered something amazing.

"Oh, yes... My Qinghe is very talented and can do everything."

Surprisingly, after speaking, Ms. Li turned her head to the side and did not praise her spirit pet as usual, as if she did not want to talk about this topic anymore.

Zhang Ze's junior sister, who was his best friend, whispered to him.

"Don't ask, it's all part of my dark history."

"That's how it is..."

According to my junior sister, when Qinghe was still a little snake and Heiqu was still a little wolf cub, they fought every day. They felt uncomfortable if they didn't fight three hundred rounds a day.

The result was that the fight between the two spirit pets led to a surge in monthly medical expenses, even exceeding Li Yueqi's allowance.

In order to avoid being looked down upon and to stop borrowing New Year's money from Li Jue, the strong-willed Li Nvxia decided to handle the matter herself.

She learned to manage downwards without any formal instruction.

One day, Li Yueqi, who possessed superhuman strength, suddenly gave both of her little spirit pets a good beating.

After dragging them to the ground and beating them both into submission, Li Yueqi, who was not even as tall as a chair, became the judge of hell.

Li Yueqi set a rule: you two can fight, but you have to clean up the mess yourselves.

If it bites and poisons, prepare the antidote before it bites you.

If your claws are scratching you, prepare some wound ointment before they start scratching.

Otherwise I'll beat you both up.

Although this action did not stop the two spirit pets from fighting, it effectively prevented the situation of running out of pocket money from happening again.

Those who frequently commit murder also know that, as the saying goes, "experience is the best teacher," and other people's illnesses are also illnesses.

Through years of loving and harmonious yet sometimes tumultuous relationship, Heiqu and Qinghe's medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

Qinghe specializes in treating internal injuries and poisoning.

Hei Qu was skilled in external medicine and was adept at treating various injuries and performing surgical procedures.

Of course, this only applies to spirit beasts.

"That's the way it is..."

After the junior sister finished speaking, Zhang Ze was stunned. She didn't expect Li Yueqi's method of cultivating spirit beasts to be so hardcore.

"How did you know?" Zhang Ze asked in a low voice.

Junior sister, "She told me herself."

Just as the two were whispering to each other, Li Jue slowly woke up on the bed.

Li Yueqi rushed over and stood by the bedside, asking with concern, "Are you feeling better? How are you?"

However, Li Jue's eyes were lifeless, as if he had not completely recovered from the shock. He pushed Li Yueqi away, jumped off the bed, and stumbled toward the totem pole placed in the corner.

Li Jue patted the ferocious beast relief on the totem pole.

"My sister, why are you hard... Someone, please help her..."

Compared to the person in question, he felt that this ferocious beast with a blue face and fangs looked more like his sister.

"Sister, wake up, how are you? Say something." Li Jue dragged the totem pole and placed it on an empty hospital bed.

Li Yueqi, "?"

Beside her, Xia Yan from Medicine King Valley, Li Jue's partner, whether she hadn't had enough of treating patients or was simply enjoying watching a funeral, offered a very considerate explanation.

"What you think about during the day, you dream about at night. The same applies to inner demons and confusion. Li Jue is currently completely controlled by his truest thoughts. This is normal and will be fine in a while."

Li Yueqi, "..."

So I'm equivalent to a ferocious beast?

The fist is hard.

"Calm down, Sister Qi. Look on the bright side. He still cares about you, doesn't he?" Chen Qin quickly pulled Li Yueqi, who was clenching her fists, and advised her.

"If you ask me, you should remember this for now and wait until he has fully recovered before taking action. It's not too late to bully a sick person now, as it goes against the code of chivalry," Zhang Ze said, stirring up trouble from the side.

The junior sister kicked Zhang Ze, telling him to go play somewhere else.

Just as Zhang Ze was about to continue fanning the flames, Old Tang's voice rang out behind him.

"You come down."

The Taoist priest leaned against the doorway; he had been there for quite some time.

After leaving the room with Daoist, Zhang Ze asked, "What's wrong?"

Instead of joking around, Old Tang got straight to the point: "Star God No. 09 is fine and is recovering. He should wake up again in a few days."

"That double-yolk egg in Jingzhou, I mean the Star God, because the ice is melting, it can now communicate. It has expressed its willingness to help, but after it's done, it hopes you won't interfere with its freedom, as it still wants to continue wandering."

"No problem," Zhang Ze nodded in response.

"Then there's the second thing. The monster that possessed Li Jue was indeed a calamity, and you guessed right, that thing was the Primordial Chaos Body that was about to collapse," Old Tang said.

The little calamity has been captured and imprisoned in the dungeon. It is irreversibly and gradually dissipating. Although it is much slower than its big brothers in the heart of the Central Continent, it will disappear without a trace in three days at most.

"As expected..." Zhang Ze muttered to himself.

Zhang Ze realized this was purely by coincidence.

When he was setting up the array in the monitoring room, he brought out all the arrays he could, including the Dragon Tiger Mountain Spirit-Binding and Soul-Locking Array, which helped him refine the Golden Core and kept his body from disintegrating.

After the monster emerged from Li Jue's body, Zhang Ze felt that its aura was very familiar. After seeing that the monster was blocked by the magic array, he was nine-tenths certain that it was the monster.

This calamity that invaded Li Jue was merely an infant compared to its counterparts in the heart of the Central Continent, and posed no real threat.

If it acts secretly, and is openly dumped on the streets of Qianji Town, it won't last a single round.

Compared to its destructive power, Zhang Ze was more curious about why the Calamity suddenly appeared in the underground city and attacked Li Jue.

'Stones? Ley lines...'

Zhang Ze thought of those unassuming little stones that could change people's perceptions.

"Where's Senior Sister Qiao?" Zhang Ze asked, suddenly wanting to conduct an experiment.

"I know what you're thinking, kid. I've already taken care of what you're asking for."

Old Tang had a look on his face that said, "You're really smart, kid." He snapped his fingers and a crystal screen floated in front of the two of them.

Old Tang fiddled with it for a bit, and Qiao Lezhi's big face appeared on the screen; this must be a recording.

It was just recorded, so it's still fresh.

Because Lao Tang is also in the picture.

Behind Qiao Lezhi stood two big shots, Mo Jingchun and Elder Li, who were watching Old Tang's actions.

Judging from the appearance of their location, they should be in some kind of ley line.

Despite being naive and not rich, Senior Sister Qiao wasn't intimidated at all. She looked around as if the people standing behind her weren't the big shots of the Six Sects, but her third aunt and second uncle.

They are waiting for something.

As Old Tang finished setting up the array, he placed a black pebble in the center of the magic circle.

It wasn't Li Jue's bag, but rather a piece cut from the large piece from the previous fried Shi De.

As time passed, red and black magma gradually appeared out of thin air within the magic circle. A tiny calamity crawled out of the void and slowly crawled towards the black stone.

"This little one is indeed a Primordial Body, but it's about to collapse."

After Qiao Lezhi confirmed it.

Jingchun reached out and crushed the small calamity in her hand.

The scene shifts, and this time, without Old Tang, Mo Jingchun and Sect Master Li bring Qiao Lezhi directly to the heart of the Central Continent.

In a lava lake, dozens of bizarre calamities are fighting each other. They have no fixed form and often disintegrate and dissipate before they can be killed by their own kind.

They appear and disappear repeatedly, in an endless cycle.

Qiao Lezhi looked completely naive. "Wow! These things are the real calamities? Can I go down and take a look?"

Mo Jingchun said, "This place is dangerous. Let's do it another day. You take a look first. Are these monsters the same?" Senior Sister Qiao stared intently for a long time before speaking.

“If I am the jade bottle, and Junior Brother Zhang is the gold-inlaid jade, then these things are just piles of waste soil and clay figures. These monsters also have the physique of the Primordial Chaos Body, but they are very unstable and are constantly collapsing.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Li nodded, "Understood."

Then, he reached out and threw a black pebble down.

Like waves crashing down, the calamities in the lava lake rushed toward the black stone in an instant. The moment one of the calamities put the black stone in its mouth, it changed.

The collapse of my ego was delayed, albeit only for a moment.

Compared to his peers, he became more solid.

After confirming that the black pebbles did indeed have an effect on them, Mo Jingchun made his move, his sword energy surging.

With a single sword strike, the lava lake was leveled.

The black stone was also retrieved.

The video ends.

……

Although many things remain unclear, many things have already been explained.

Since those calamities were the collapse of the primordial chaos, their disappearance can be explained.

Like Zhang Ze, he was captured by the Earth Sea and his physical body was destroyed because of his imperfections.

The black stones could very well serve as a kind of beacon for those unfounded calamities.

It can help them determine their place in the present world.

Just like Zhang Ze's previous golden core, it was a kind of expedient measure.

Although the Golden Core has temporarily become an obstacle to his cultivation, without those Golden Cores, he would probably have died before reaching the Golden Core stage.

At this point, Zhang Ze's thoughts began to slip again.

According to the theory of the Spirit Fusion Technique and the insights of the great masters into this world, everything can be unified with spiritual energy as the anchor point.

That calamity—could he, Qiao Lezhi, and that little dinosaur be considered as a sample of some kind of 'evolution'?

The process from beginning to end, from imperfection to perfection, from instability to stability.

A tree diagram appeared in Zhang Ze's mind.

From the beginning of nothingness, the first living being was born in the world. As branches split, all things in the world gradually emerged.

I was hanging on one of the rather desolate branches.

Below oneself lies an incomplete 'evolution,' a catastrophe of collapse.

Above her was Senior Sister Qiao, who had 'evolved' to the pinnacle, was wise and powerful, flawless, and possessed super wisdom.

'No, I'm not the same as Senior Sister Qiao. I should be my own kind of person,' Zhang Ze thought.

He distanced himself from the situation.

If that's the case, then what is Lily...?

A subspecies of the Star God? Or a demi-human?

Lily was also singled out by Zhang Ze.

What about Fuhime? Should she be considered a separate individual, or a group...?

The difference between the Corona Disc Creature Fukihime and its normal form is greater than the difference between humans and hairy creatures.

'Damn, this is so hard to categorize.'

As Zhang Ze's thoughts wandered further and further, his expression began to become increasingly strange.

Zhang Ze was thinking about all sorts of random things, but Lao Tang misunderstood him, thinking he was worried about the world.

"There's no point in thinking about it now." Seeing Zhang Ze frown, Old Tang immediately offered some words of comfort. "I've already issued a mission regarding those black stones, and I expect news to come back from Changzhou in a few days."

"No need to worry, the sky won't fall."

"Take care of your own affairs first." Old Tang tapped Zhang Ze's chest, where a Primordial Dao Pill was still lodged.

……

In the following two weeks, although no news came from Changzhou, Zhang Ze's side made rapid progress.

Not everyone is as cunning as Li Jue or Qi, the sect leader who embarrassed himself in Jingzhou.

Many teenagers are very innocent.

He does whatever the intelligence tells him to do.

Qingjing, Yangguan Road.

Although it is already autumn, the streets are still bustling with tourists.

Today's Qingjing is quite different from the past. Various magical artifacts have begun to spread among the people. Streetlights that light up the whole night are summoned by cat talismans, and cute cats can be seen almost everywhere.

Moreover, the basic Qi cultivation methods that were once mysterious and esoteric to most people are now as common as cabbages, readily available at roadside bookstores, and anyone can buy them.

Of course, since most people lack talent, they just watch the show.

Those Qi cultivation methods don't sell as well as Journey to the West.

But in any case, the entire Eastern Continent is slowly moving forward, and the flashes of mortal inspiration will no longer be drowned out by the long lifespans of cultivators.

Although small, when gathered together, they become like stars.

When the monks began to seek change and ceased to be an obstacle, their power became astonishing.

……

Zhang Ze and Li Jue were drinking tea on the second floor of a teahouse.

“Look at that kid, doesn’t he look a lot like Brother Feng?” Zhang Ze pointed and said.

In the middle of the road, a white-haired boy was looking around, seemingly searching for something, completely unaware that he was being watched.

“Indeed, that arrogant look of his makes him look like he deserves a beating. By the way, where did Brother Feng go?” Li Jue asked.

"I don't know, I can't get in touch with him, but Brother Feng is definitely doing something big. If you want to see him, he'll probably make a grand entrance someday when the sky collapses and the earth caves in," Zhang Ze said casually.

"Don't be like that, I'm quite satisfied with my life now." Knowing Zhang Ze's tendency to jinx things, Li Jue quickly poured him a cup of tea to stop the conversation.

He has now recovered, and his mindset has changed somewhat because of this experience.

According to Li Yueqi, Li Jue has recently been trying to cultivate the Spirit Fusion Technique, which he had previously refused to practice due to fear.

[Having barely grown up, I'm finally no longer the irresponsible, unlucky child I used to be.]

This is how Lady Li commented.

Of course, while one may be more mature in mindset, the essence of a rascal remains unchanged.

After the white-haired youth on the street entered a shop based on the information, Li Jue straightened his clothes and stood up.

"It's my turn to take action."

"The bell is coming!"

Adhering to the principle that others should also get wet in the rain he had been through, Li Jue took the golden bell from Zhang Ze.

You can't be the only one suffering.

Li Jue thought, "We need to teach that kid a lesson and show him what it means to live a dangerous life and how unpredictable people can be."

Zhang Ze said, "Don't go too far. That kid is quite talented. You could send him to Qianji Pavilion Elementary School for further study."

Li Jue nodded, indicating that he understood.

He then hurried downstairs carrying the golden bell, and a moment later, a deafening chime rang out from the first floor…

Zhang Ze, "..."

In short, thanks to entrapment, several more Star Gods have returned.

Moreover, most of them said they planned to stay in Qianji Pavilion, finding it quite interesting.

Apart from No. 08 being missing and No. 04 having passed away, they have gathered all the Star Gods.

After a day of refining, the innate Dao pill finally completely merged into his body.

Zhang Ze stood up and looked at the mirror his junior sister handed him.

"Is this reasonable?" Zhang Ze muttered to himself, looking at his face in the mirror.

"Hmm, it doesn't make sense, but it's normal for you, senior brother..."

The junior sister gave a fair assessment and tapped Zhang Ze's stiff head.
