Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 506 Becoming an Immortal is a Scam, lol
Zhang Ze didn't think of himself as a bad person; at most, he could only be considered a mourner.

Aside from occasionally making discordant noises when everyone is having fun, I don't seem to have many flaws.

Therefore, Zhang Ze didn't understand why the little deer girl was dizzy.

Zhang Ze turned back to the riverbank and reached out to grab the corrupted princess, who had transformed into a small river god covered in tentacles.

I held it in my hand and squeezed it, bringing it back to its original shape.

“I think it’s your problem,” Zhang Ze said.

Little Fuji put her hands on her hips, snorted, looked Zhang Ze up and down, and then said angrily.

"Hey, it's clearly your problem, how can you blame someone as cute as me?"

Zhang Ze: "What does this have to do with me? I'm perfectly normal."

Fu Ji pointed to Zhang Ze's lower body, "You're normal, so where are your pants?"

"Ugh?"

Zhang Ze quickly looked down and realized that he wasn't not wearing pants, but rather that he hadn't taken off his long underwear.

At this moment, his lower body was still invisible, and only his upper body was floating in mid-air, looking like a ghost.

No wonder the little girl was scared.

Little Fuji made a face at Zhang Ze, then jumped back into the river to catch jellyfish.

"Come on, Mao Mao, let's go catch jellyfish!"

Mao Mao squatted on the riverbank, looking like he really wanted to go down into the river and play with Xiao Fu Ji, but he was also afraid of the water.

After a moment of internal struggle, Mao Mao shook his head, turned to look at the forest, and continued to monitor A Li's location.

Zhang Ze had already changed his pants again. He squatted down next to Little Deer Girl once more, and with a flick of his right hand, he produced a round ice bead.

This is the latest Resurrection Pill developed by Medicine King Valley. In addition to relieving coma and reviving the dead in emergencies, it can also freshen breath.

It makes the breath that the user exhales after opening their eyes feel as refreshing and sweet as mint.

Zhang Ze raised his hand, preparing to put the bead into the little deer's mouth.

Unexpectedly, Little Deer suddenly opened her eyes, raised her foot and kicked at Zhang Ze, while the crossbow that had fallen to the side automatically drew its string.

A green feathered arrow materialized out of thin air and shot towards the back of Zhang Ze's head.

Then came two clicks.

The sound was that Little Deer Girl kicked Zhang Ze and broke her own leg.

The other sound was when the green feathered arrow was mistaken for celery by Mao Mao, and snapped in two by Mao Mao's pounce.

Zhang Ze, “.”

Zhang Ze was in a dilemma, to prevent the little deer girl from hurting him again.

He raised his hand and drew a talisman in the air to freeze her in place, then placed his hand on the deer leg that she had broken off herself.

"Don't panic, trust my medical skills. This is the first time for everyone, it'll be alright."

While comforting the little deer, Zhang Ze took out two books from his treasure bag.
A book titled "Elementary Introduction to Orthopedics in Medicine King Valley"

A book titled "How to Become a Veterinarian"

Seeing Zhang Ze's appearance, Little Deer Girl Sula's face turned even paler.

Fortunately, although it was Zhang Ze's first time, he learned very quickly. In no time, the leg bone that Little Deer Mother had broken was completely healed.

Zhang Ze checked again, and after resisting the urge to trim the little girl's hooves, he finally spoke.

"I will remove the seal on your head, then I will ask you questions and you will answer them. If you understand, just roll your eyes."

Little Deer Girl agreed.

"The restriction is lifted," Zhang Ze asked.

"name."

“Sula”.

"Never mind gender, let's forget I asked. Cough, let's get serious. Why do you understand my language? Have you ever met anyone like me?"

Zhang Ze didn't waste time on small talk, but instead asked the question that concerned him most.

After a moment's hesitation, the little deer girl named Sula immediately answered.

“I don’t know what you mean by language, but all living beings here speak this language, and as for the origin of the language, I don’t know.”

“I’ve only ever seen portraits of people like you before; this is the first time I’ve ever seen a real one.”

Zhang Ze nodded, then asked, "Why did you see me run?"

"I," Sula's body began to tremble slightly, but stopped immediately. "I saw that half of your body was missing, and I thought it was a monster, so I was scared. Besides, you were the one who attacked me first, weren't you?"

Zhang Ze, "?"

“Aren’t we rescuing you? There are jellyfish in that river,” Zhang Ze said, pointing to the riverbank.

When Sula heard Zhang Ze's explanation, she looked like she was about to cry, as if to say, "How can you be so shameless? You know everything, yet you're still making a fool of yourself."

Sura held back her tears and said, bowing her head, "I wasn't attacked, I was hunting. Those water spirits were my prey; they're very useful to our tribe."

Sula's voice trailed off, and Zhang Ze laughed awkwardly.

"Heh, hehe, I see. Sorry, it's mine."

As Zhang Ze was speaking, Fu Ji emerged from the river, carrying an insect-catching net filled with the jellyfish that had just attacked Sula.

As if to confirm Sula's words, Fuji said, "These jellyfish are extremely weak, only equivalent to Lily's half-step peak Great Perfection."

After saying that, and showing off her spoils to Mao Mao, Fu Ji dived back into the river.

She just saw another pink jellyfish.

I really want to catch it.

Seeing that Zhang Ze seemed easy to talk to, Sula mustered up her courage and asked, "Are you looking for something?"

Zhang Ze was taken aback. "Yes, that's what I'm looking for. Have you seen it before?"

As Zhang Ze spoke, he tapped the small walnut on his wrist and projected Ah Li's photo onto the screen.

Seeing Ah Li's expression, Sula's mood visibly relaxed, and she shook her head.

"never seen it."

Then Zhang Ze switched to the next image, this time a square pig. "And this one?"

Looking at the square pig, Sula tried her best to keep her expression normal. After thinking for a moment, she said in a low voice, "I... I've never seen it before, but I heard an elder in the tribe say that he has seen this thing."

"Well... let me think, it seems like it was about ten years ago, on the other side of the forest, when I saw it."

Sula pointed in the opposite direction to where Momo was positioned.

Zhang Ze looked at Sula, paused for a moment, and then said, "I see. Then I would like to see your elder and ask him for some clues."

Sula paused for a moment, but quickly replied.

“Okay, if you’d like, you can come back to the tribe with me. We can be your guides…”

Sula tried her best to appear submissive, but her shifty eyes betrayed a guilty conscience.

Zhang Ze pretended not to see and directly released the restraints on her body.

"Lead the way, I'll go and take a look at your tribe."

Sula nodded, got up and carefully moved her front legs, but instead of going into the forest, she went to the riverbank, picked up her bucket and handed it to Fu Ji who had already come ashore.

Little Fuji tilted her head and looked at the small bucket that was handed to her. She quickly understood what Sula meant. She picked out a few large ones from the net and put them into Sula's bucket.

The jellyfish-like water sprites lost their activity as soon as they entered the bucket, turning into a mass of clear water, while the red core floated on the surface of the water like a fruit.

Sula carefully put the 'fruit' into the small bag at her waist, then poured the water from the bucket into her water bag, making sure not a drop was spilled, before skipping and hopping into the forest.

Zhang Ze led Mao Mao and followed.

Sura moved quickly through the forest, her magical hooves coming in handy, like clamps, firmly gripping branches and allowing her to hop around the trees in a teleportation-like manner.

This forest contains some kind of natural barrier that can obscure perception and affect escape techniques, making it easy for outsiders to get lost.

Judging from Sula's expression, it seems she's planning to get rid of Zhang Ze.

However, this level of prohibition was meaningless in front of Zhang Ze and Mao Mao.

Little Fuji crawled out from Mao Mao's fur, climbed to Zhang Ze's ear, and whispered, "That half-deer is lying."

Zhang Ze: "I know."

Little Rosé: "Then why are you still going?"

Zhang Ze said, "What else can we do? Ah Li is there. Even if there's a trap, I have to get her out first. If we can win, we'll fight; if we can't, we'll run away."

"Yeah, be careful." After saying that, Little Fukihime shrank back into her fur.

As they spoke, Zhang Ze kept staring at Sula's hooves. It wasn't that he had a foot fetish, but he noticed that Sula seemed to be conveying some kind of signal with her hooves.

Each time the hoof grips a branch, it taps rhythmically a few times. With each tap, the natural spiritual energy patterns existing in the trees begin to flow, and the signal, along with this natural network, converges somewhere in the forest.

According to the directions of Mao Mao and Black Sword, Ah Li was also there, in Sula's tribe.

Before long, Zhang Ze followed Sula to the place where their settlement was located.

It was a deep, downward-facing pit.

Giant green trees rise from the deep pit, reaching towards the sky. Vines and walkways connect the giant trees, forming a three-dimensional village from the ground to the treetops.

Many half-deer people, like Sura, emerged from the vine-woven treehouses.

They were the same size as Sura, and both males and females were only one biscuit taller than Lily, which seemed to be the standard size for adults of their kind.

Zhang Ze felt they didn't resemble deer, but rather tree monkeys, much like water monkeys.
'Wait, that's not right. Monkeys are supposed to live in trees, so they're deer-monkeys?'

Zhang Ze's mind started to wander off course again, as usual.

While Zhang Ze was in a daze, the half-deer people looked down at this strange outsider.

Besides curiosity, there was also a barely perceptible wariness in their eyes.

Sula glanced back at Zhang Ze, then pointed to the center of the village. "The elder is there. Please follow me."

The place Sula was pointing to was a platform woven from vines. In the very center of the platform was a vine house, and seven thick vine bridges connected it to the surrounding giant trees, making the platform look like a spider web no matter how you looked at it.

Zhang Ze pretended not to know anything and followed Sula toward the center of the net.

As he watched Sula's retreating figure, he sensed a certain resolve, an aura of readiness to bravely face death at any moment that could not be concealed.

Zhang Ze really wanted to remind her that she didn't need to be so nervous.

The main reason is that no one will actually fall for it, but we're also afraid of scaring her and making her jump off the cliff.

After all, these half-deer people don't seem to be able to fly. If they jump straight down like that without any branches to step on, they will really fall to their deaths.

So Zhang Ze had no choice but to shut up.

Lifting the curtain of the vine-covered house, Zhang Ze followed Sula inside.

In the center of the vine house stood an old man, who was more robust than the ordinary half-deer people, but probably because he had shrunk with age, he was actually a biscuit shorter than Lily.

After entering the vine house, Sula naturally retreated behind Zhang Ze.

Without any pleasantries or signaling by smashing a glass, Sula immediately grabbed Zhang Ze by the waist.

At the same time, the old man who was shorter than Lily by a biscuit also charged at Zhang Ze.

However, the old man seemed to have forgotten one thing: Zhang Ze still had Mao Mao by his side.

When Mao Mao saw the old man rushing over, it barked excitedly and then went to meet him.

With a crack, the old man clutched his back and was sent flying by Mao Mao's Iron Head Kung Fu. He was at least given a herniated disc from the impact.

Sula had no time to mourn the old man's sacrifice; she muttered something loudly.

It's like some kind of signal.

As Sula spoke, Zhang Ze also made a gurgling sound.

He discovered something strange: the forbidden spell he had just cast on Sura by the river had now manifested itself on his own body.

Sura seems to possess some innate ability to record enemy spells.

After Sula took control of Zhang Ze, the Fujiya also collapsed.

Zhang Ze saw that the half-deer people in the surrounding tree canopy were each holding a large bow.

The bow is drawn to its fullest extent, and a volley of arrows is unleashed.

Sula did not feel any regret.

She felt that exchanging her own life for the life of a lower-ranking divine messenger was a worthwhile thing.

Even if she had to do it ten thousand times, she would still make the same choice.

Not to mention, this also protects that square-shaped protector!
As long as that protector is there, and given enough time, the village will surely be able to conquer Baiyujing in the future.
Sula imagined a future without her, but as she thought about it, something always felt off.

Because the excruciating pain of being pierced by a thousand arrows did not come, nor even the sound of air being pierced.

Moreover, the divine messenger he was holding suddenly became furry and was licking him with its tongue.

Sula opened her eyes and found that she was not holding the white-robed divine messenger, but the divine messenger's golden wolf.

As for the divine messenger himself, he was sitting on a small stool not far away, resting his chin on his hand and looking at himself.

The deadly rain of arrows was frozen in mid-air, and all his people remained motionless, still in the posture of drawing their bows to fire again.

Under Sura's desperate gaze, she saw the messenger rise and walk toward her grandfather, taking a book from the pocket at his waist.

Bone Setting: From Beginner to Final Burial

Sula closed her eyes, unable to bear watching her grandfather suffer. But strangely, after a few moments of pleasant groans, her grandfather's voice turned into a strange cry that was both comfortable and painful.

Sula opened her eyes and found a stone doll wearing overalls giving her grandfather a fierce massage to set his bones.

The white-robed divine messenger, however, stood to one side, looking at another book.

Bone Setting: From Beginner to Giving Up

This scene is somewhat magical, and it seems a little different from what Grandpa described.

Sula looked at her grandfather.

She saw her grandfather struggling while talking to her.

"Don't believe them. Becoming an immortal is a scam, there's no such thing as white jade. Oh ho ho ho!"

The old man, who had been thoroughly satisfied by the little earth fairy's massage, said this.

Zhang Ze put away the book, glanced at Mao Mao, and after instructing it to keep an eye on the little earth fairy and the group of half-deer people, Zhang Ze jumped off the platform.

Just as he walked right into the trap, Fu Ji had already found A Li with Feng Ge's black sword.

It's right below.

Upon reaching the bottom of the pit, Zhang Ze dived into an underwater cave and continued deeper into the pit. Soon, he found Ah Li, who had transformed into a square pig.

Ah Li lay on a platform made of white boulder. Perhaps because the half-deer people did not know Ah Li, she was not placed facing forward.

And Ah Li's condition also seems a bit off.

With each breath, wisps of black energy escaped from Ah Li's mouth and were absorbed by the Water Spirit Core placed in the bucket.

The water spirit core, having absorbed the black energy, was purified by the water spirit's bodily fluids. Once the liquid in the bucket disappeared, the water spirit core completely shriveled up.

Beside Ah Li were many empty buckets and piles of dried, shriveled red fruit cores resembling water spirit cores.

Ah Li's body, relying on this strange method, maintained a certain balance, preventing it from deteriorating further.

So, the little deer girl Sula went to the river to catch water spirits for A Li's sake?

It seems like this group of deer-people is protecting it?

There must be some misunderstanding here. They mistook me for a bad guy, a bad guy connected to Xiao Jing?

'It should be Xiao Jing, since that old man mentioned Bai Yujing.'

'After we revive Ah Li, we'll go upstairs and ask them what happened here.'

While Zhang Ze was lost in thought, Fu Ji jumped back to Zhang Ze's side, carrying a black sword that was much longer than her.

After returning the black sword to Zhang Ze, she said, "Ah Li has been poisoned, but not just any poison, it's a different kind."

Xiao Fuji's vocabulary was limited, and she couldn't explain it clearly in a short time. It took Zhang Ze a long time to understand what she meant through gestures.

The poison that Ah Li was afflicted affected her soul.

If the poison takes effect, Ah Li will turn into a super villain.

Zhang Ze pinched his chin and looked at A Li. After a moment, he jumped onto the platform, reached out to help A Li stand up, and then pressed his hand down on her.

This poison is easy to cure; you don't even need to read a book.

Just restart it.

As Zhang Ze cast his spell, A Li, who was connected to him by origin, was transformed into a primordial Dao body state.

All negative statuses are also cleared away, and once they are removed again, Ah Li will be completely refreshed.

"Ha~~"

Ah Li woke up from her coma with a long yawn, and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Zhang Ze standing in front of her.

Ah Li laughed happily, and with a burst of strength, she jumped onto Zhang Ze's head as usual.

However, it seems to have forgotten that it is now a square pig, and a stone-heavy one at that.
