Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 413 Not everyone who uses a hypnosis app is a goblin
Regarding the infamy of certain green monsters, Zhang Ze felt that their unattractive appearance was primarily responsible.

After all, when faced with a large group of naked, stinking, and constantly roaring monsters with pointed ears and patina-filled skin, any person with normal sexual fetishes would make a normal choice.

Those who lack strength will choose to run away.

Those with real strength would charge and then unleash a whirlwind slash, turning them into mincemeat, and then sell their ears for money.

However, what if we change the image?

Redescribe the scene and transform it into...

A large group of naked, fragrant, shy, panting, and whimpering little elves are trying to grab you and subject you to ultimate humiliation, filling your breasts with their pointed ears and huge breasts.

If someone has normal sexual fetishes, then the big head should follow the little head's orders and stay behind to cover the rear.

He straightened his chest and said, "Don't make things difficult for my brothers. Come at me if you have any problems. I can handle it!"
So ultimately, it all comes down to looks.

At this moment, the little green bean sprout that climbed up the cliff to the viewing platform and hypnotized everyone with the black stone, while not quite reaching the level of an elven loli, could still be described as cute.

Therefore, Zhang Ze did not use a charge followed by a whirlwind slash to take it down.

It has a round head, big eyes, and petals hanging down its lower body like a skirt. Judging from its appearance, it should be a plant.

It's like a turnip that has come to life.

The tiny, pale green, translucent hand of the little bean sprouted from under the skirt, holding a black stone and slowly swaying it.

"Friend~ Friend~ Come with me."

A gurgling sound came from under her skirt, and after reaching Zhang Ze's ears, it became a sound he could understand.

As the black stone in the little boy's hand swayed, all six people except Zhang Ze were hit.

At first, their expressions varied, but they quickly came together, their eyes becoming calm and still.

They seemed to have thought of the gentlest thing they had ever done.

The ones who persisted the longest were the superstitious Tianzong senior sister and the bald Buddhist.

Perhaps due to their high resistance, these two still had time to put up a small resistance. A little ice crystal condensed on the fingertip of the Heavenly Sect Senior Sister, and the bald head of the Buddhist sect shone with golden light.

With their skillful coordination, the ice crystals were melted by the golden light into dew, which thoroughly irrigated the little bean.

"Comfortable~ Thank you!" The little bean sprouted another gurgling sound and continued to hold up the black stone in its hand.

"Friend~ come over here~ let's go home."

Although the tone was warm, the scene was rather eerie. The little guy walked ahead like a corpse driver, slowly shaking the black stone and leading the six unlucky guys down the mountain.

Zhang Ze stared at the black stone, trying to decipher the 'entries' on it.

The information contained in this black stone is quite complex and is not simply about desire.

Zhang Ze didn't know how to describe it. If he had to, he felt it was like a brainwashing package from a pyramid scheme.

Besides the word "friend," he also saw some outdated and strange terms like "citizen," "rights," and "protection."

Zhang Ze suspected that Ah Li and Monkey King were also kidnapped by Little Bean Ding because they were friends.

And his intuition told him that there should be more than one of these little guys.

In order not to alert the enemy, Zhang Ze did not directly grab the little boy.

Instead, he quietly followed behind the group and joined this special 'corpse-driving' team.

Let's go home with it first and find the lost Ah Li.

The secret agent infiltration plan is launched.

After Zhang Ze naturally joined the group, the little bean seemed to sense something, turning its head 180 degrees to look back at Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze, on the other hand, stared directly at the little boy with an open and honest gaze.

Because of his ability to turn into stone, Zhang Ze's eyes have been rather dull lately. He doesn't need to rehearse to act like a mentally challenged person; he can get into character anytime.

The wary little boy blinked and stared at Zhang Ze for a long time, even waving the black stone in his hand with obvious unease.

"friend?"

Zhang Ze did not respond, but instead pretended to be dazed and tried to analyze the information in the black stone in the little boy's hand.

Perhaps due to excessive trust in her own hypnosis app, Xiaodouding dispelled her doubts after staring at Zhang Ze for a while.

It continued humming a little tune as it walked ahead, never glancing at Zhang Ze, its 'new friend,' again.

The little bean sprouted a fast pace, as if the entire world was helping it.

As it hopped and skipped along, the grass and trees parted automatically, creating a path.

Ice crystals formed on the lake surface, allowing them to move forward, while swirling clouds and mist concealed the group's tracks.

Zhang Ze lagged behind the group and quietly took out a small walnut to take a picture of the little boy walking at the front.

【Fukihime, can you help me find out what this is?】

……

Qianji Pavilion.

In a sealed room filled with various poisonous creatures, an indescribable rotten princess is eating scorpions with her tentacles while staring blankly at the static screen of the television in front of her.

This old TV has now become Fuji's treasure, her best choice for passing the time.

She's currently slacking off.

As the small walnut hanging on the wall vibrated, Fu Ji was so startled that her whole body trembled three times. She quickly reformed into human form and transformed into an office lady outfit to enter customer service Fu Ji mode.

"Rotten Princess 00868 is at your service. How can I help you?"

Zhang Ze: "Which one are you... never mind, whatever. Look at Little Walnut, help me find out what this thing is."

After recognizing Zhang Ze's voice, customer service representative Fuji00868 slumped back into a ball and responded lazily.

"Okay! Remember to give me a good review, senior!"

Although it was a bit of a slack, customer service representative Fuji00868 didn't mess around, and soon Zhang Ze's questions spread throughout Fuji's internal network.

……

Valley of the King of Medicine.

A rotten princess is swinging on a swing with her ahoge (cowlick) in the sunlight.

After joining the Sword Sect and Medicine King Valley, and becoming the darling of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, Fu Ji not only never had to worry about food and clothing again, but also evolved in some aspects.

For example, through a series of complex processes such as self-cultivation, soft body modification, devouring spiritual plants, raising gu in large vats, and slow cooking over low heat, she eliminated her greatest weakness.

Afraid of light.

The current Fuhime is no longer as afraid of sunlight as she was at the beginning, and has even developed a new Corona form.

Like a sunflower, the Corona Form of the Imperial Princess feels uncomfortable if she doesn't get sunlight for a day.

After receiving a message from customer service representative Fuki00868, Fuki, instead of walking, swung into the sky to save time, spread her body, and glided towards the depths of Medicine King Valley.

Halfway through her slide, she encountered the six-part routine.

No-fly zone and fine.

"Hey, stop right there, Fu Ji! How many times have I told you? No flying allowed in the sect!" A ginseng spirit old man, like a local deity, emerged from a corner, tugged at his cane, and smoke rose up as he blocked Fu Ji's path.

"I didn't fly, I was gliding." Fu Ji fluttered her wings and circled the old man once.

"Gliding is out of the question too; in short, we can't just fly around in the sky!" the old ginseng spirit frowned.

"Eh~ So according to you, birds can't fly either." Fuhime pointed at the spirit crow that happened to fly past the two of them.

The crow glanced at the old man and cawed twice.

It wasn't a greeting; it was an insult.

That's roughly what "idiot" means.

The ginseng spirit old man, "..."

Nowadays, many cultivators in Medicine King Valley also practice the methods of other sects, with the majority choosing the Beast Taming Sect and the Sword Sect.

Besides the fact that both families are known for their recklessness, making it easier for them to learn spells, it's also because these two families' spells are easy to use.

Swordsmanship can be used for surgery.

When the Sword Sect's sword techniques reached Medicine King Valley, they went down a wicked path from which there was no return.

The once-immortal swordsmanship was transformed into embroidery needles and willow-leaf scalpels in Medicine King Valley. Various sword techniques, such as heart removal, dantian micro-incision suturing, and meridian adhesion separation, emerged one after another, leaving the elders of the Sword Sect's main family dumbfounded.

As for spirit beasts, they are for farming.

More spirit beasts mean more land. Spirit crows that can stand guard and scare away birds, white elephants that can work and farm, and wild bulls—these spirit beasts, which were not very popular in the Beast Taming Sect because of their low potential or because they ate and excreted a lot, have all found a place to be useful in Medicine King Valley.

With the number of spirit beasts in Medicine King Valley surging, many of the old rules are facing revision.

Take flying, for example. Even spirit beasts enjoy the same treatment as birds. You can't just make birds crawl on the ground instead of letting them fly.

Fu Ji's words left the old man speechless for a long time, but the old man, who was also a ginseng spirit, still argued his case.

"But you're not a bird?"

“Who says I’m not a bird? I’m a little bird born without legs, gliding through the sky my whole life, searching for the direction of my heart. Look, this is my classification certificate.” Fu Ji tossed a certificate of identity issued by the Beast Taming Sect in front of the old man.

【Rotten Princess - Blue Aerial High-Speed ​​Form】

Species: Fungus-shaped bird

Whether it's reasonable or not doesn't matter, that's what the certificate says.

The little old man, “…”

"Grandpa, you can keep waiting for others, I'm leaving!"

Seeing the old man staring blankly at his ID card, Fu Ji circled around him again before continuing to fly towards the back of the valley.

After landing, Fu Ji bounced like a pinball, rolling towards the Medicine King's Palace.

The exterior of the Medicine King Hall is ordinary, but the interior is an independent space managed and maintained by successive Valley Masters. It contains records of all the spiritual plants and similar spiritual plant data collected and cultivated since the establishment of Medicine King Valley.

The picture of the tiny little thing that Zhang Ze sent looked exactly like some kind of sentient plant.

There should be some record of this in the Medicine King Hall.

Logically, one needs the Valley Master's token to enter the Medicine King's Hall, but because Mr. Qin has been very busy lately and has to go out to steal vegetables, he made twenty or thirty copies of the token and gave them to his disciples and elders to hold together.

Because Xiaoxue disliked magical artifacts, the one given to Xiaoxue was stuffed into Fuji's body.

Now, Fu Ji can go wherever she wants in Medicine King Valley.

Arriving at the solemn gate of the Medicine King's Palace, Fu Ji didn't take out the token from her body. Instead, she jumped high and lay on the door, giving her face a thorough scrubbing from top to bottom.

It's unclear where she placed the token, but it triggered the restriction. After a burst of light music, the gate slowly opened.

The disciple guarding the gate seemed unfazed. He sipped his tea, and after Fu Ji entered and the gates of the Medicine King Hall closed again, he picked up his pen and wrote in the register.

On [date], a woman named Yibing Fuji entered the Medicine King's Hall carrying the Valley Master's token.

After taking notes, he sat back in his rocking chair, put on his crystal glasses, and continued watching the online classes he hadn't finished watching that day.

[Beast Taming Sect Sword Technique, a short section: How to get the dragonfish ashore...]

……

Unlike the old library in the underworld of the Sword Sect's main hall, the Medicine King Hall is quite bright here. It has a hollow center, and the space is like an inverted round tower. Each floor is connected by corridors, and the various spiritual plants are strictly classified and numbered, with records and information of their numbers and samples preserved.

"Good morning, big cylinder!" Fukihime waved and greeted.

The large vat that Fu Ji mentioned is the Shennong Cauldron, a sect treasure of Medicine King Valley.

The reason it's called that is because every time Fu Ji comes, she sees the Shennong Cauldron pulsating with life, just like Zhang Ze's specially made Wind-Riding Boat that burns black oil and can't fly, it can only crawl on the ground.

Zhang Ze said that the smoking device is called a cylinder, and since the Shennong Cauldron is so big, it must be a large cylinder.

So that's what it's been called ever since.

Shennong Cauldron itself had no objection; after all, Fu Ji was so cute, let her be called whatever she liked.

"Good morning, what brings you here today?" Shennong Ding's deep voice resounded throughout the space.

After Fu Ji had taken a large sip of the life force released by the Shennong Cauldron, she spoke.

"I need to look up information! The pickled mustard greens of Changzhou!"

Shen Nongding couldn't understand what Fu Ji was saying. After all, it was just a humidifier, not a graduate of information management and information systems. It hadn't really cared about what was in the Medicine King's Palace.

"Changzhou... on the forty-ninth floor, I'll take you down."

Fu Ji's vision flickered between light and darkness, and when she came to her senses, she had already reached the forty-ninth floor.

All the spiritual plants discovered in Changju are kept here.

Unlike the other floors, most of the cabinets here are empty, containing mostly specimens and written descriptions, but no seeds or live samples.

Fu Ji held the small walnut, comparing it to the photo and searching back and forth, but after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find anything similar.

Moreover, the records of vegetation on these 49 floors are much simpler than those on other floors.

Most of them consist of only a few sentences.

[Six-year-old grass, a six-year-old plant, has a sweet taste and is favored by monkeys.]

It's a bit strange.

Fu Ji reached the end but still couldn't find what Zhang Ze wanted. Just as Fu Ji was about to search again and notify the Beast Taming Sect to also look for it, Xiao Xue appeared behind her.

"Don't bother looking, you won't find it," Xiaoxue said, her hands clasped behind her back.

"Huh?" Fu Ji asked, puzzled.

Xiaoxue didn't explain here, but instead picked up Fuji and took her away from the Medicine King's Palace, arriving at the thatched cottage where her master Qin Lang usually lived.

Xiaoxue skillfully pried open the cabinet, took out the best tea from the very back of the drawer, and poured half a jar for Fuji without even brewing it with water, just like pouring out candy.

"We won't find it anywhere, whether we go to Medicine King Valley or Beast Taming Sect." Xiaoxue chewed on tea leaves, her words slightly muffled.

Fu Ji didn't interrupt; she devoted herself entirely to the preparation and production of the chewing tea.

Xiaoxue said, "Aren't you curious? Changzhou has so many magical plants and beasts, but the Beast Taming Sect and Medicine King Valley haven't developed them on a large scale. Their attitude towards Changzhou can even be described as indifferent to it."

Although Fuhime had never thought about this question, as a proper straight man, she nodded vigorously.

Xiaoxue: "Master once had designs on the Mother Tree of Changzhou, but in the end, nothing came of it. It wasn't that he lacked the ability to uproot that giant tree growing underground, but rather that he couldn't do so."

Xiaoxue reached out and tapped Fuji's forehead.

“All living beings in Changzhou are actually similar to you.”

"To some extent, Changzhou is actually 'alive'. It is a self-consistent ecological whole with its own balance. Removing the mother tree or over-developing it will only destroy everything in Changzhou."

The saying goes, "Without buying, there would be no killing." The prices of many things in Dongzhou are actually determined by the demand of the Six Sects.

When the six sects set their sights on a certain place, even if they do nothing, they will attract the attention of rogue cultivators. And when there are many people, anything can happen.

Therefore, ignoring the issue is the best way to protect Changzhou. Even if a cultivator occasionally wanders there, he will only be driven out in a sorry state by Changzhou's magical environment and will not cause any trouble.

It was only because the black stone that appeared this time was related to Zhongzhou that the six sects' reliable disciples were specially ordered to investigate, and the investigation was limited to the black stone.

Instead of issuing a series of supplementary tasks as usual, it did not.

After listening to Xiaoxue's story, Fuji scratched her head in disappointment.

"So, you mean the origin of those turnips is still unknown?"

“That’s not true.” Xiaoxue shook her head and said, “Master stayed in Changzhou for hundreds of years because of the Mother Tree. Although he didn’t succeed in the end, he still gained something.”

“My master has a diary about his life in Changzhou over the past few hundred years. It records what he saw and heard in Changzhou. There might be some clues in it.”

"What about the diary?" asked Fu Ji, who had finished half a can of tea and exuded a refreshing fragrance.

"I don't know, but it should be hidden in this thatched hut, so please help us find it quickly."

After saying that, Xiaoxue pried open another cabinet, took out a ginseng root, looked it over for a few seconds, and found that it was a cheap one that was hundreds of years old, so she casually put it into her mouth.

……

Rainy Mountain.

The rain was still falling against the current, and the little bean, carrying the new friends he had made today, returned to the foot of the teardrop-shaped Rain Mountain.

As they drew closer, Zhang Ze felt the strange power surrounding Luoyu Mountain even more clearly.

Centered on it, a certain order has formed here, as if this strange floating mountain before us possesses a life of its own.

"Beep beep beep~ Beep beep beep~" As the little guy hummed, a pale green halo lit up, and a door appeared.

"Ready to go home~"
