Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

Indeed, as the shopkeeper said, what's recorded on the pages are the herbs and other materials needed for body refining and Qi refining, and in great quantities.

Comparing it with the previous page, the price isn't too different, not like it's a forgery.

Besides, although Li Jue's father's auction house has closed down, the accounts still exist and can be checked later.

The shopkeeper's life can definitely be called formidable, with a secret treasure right underneath the inn he owns, and he managed to kick those treasures out with his foot.

His luck is indeed defying heaven.

"So, shopkeeper, did you succeed in cultivation?" Although somewhat impolite, Zhang Ze observed that the shopkeeper's demeanor didn't resemble that of a cultivator.

"Just like this." The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, answering quite ambiguously.

He stretched out his chubby hand, closed his eyes to focus, and his face turned the color of pig liver.

After quite a while, he finally gathered a pea-sized Spiritual Qi vortex in his palm.

Just this amount of Qi couldn't even ignite a Talisman.

Very embarrassing.

One can only say that some people are naturally unsuited for cultivation, no matter how luck may defy the odds, increasing the dosage won't help...

Leaving the inn, Elder Han immediately led the group to teleport into Spirit Deer Valley.

The scenery in the valley was no different from what Zhang Ze saw in his dream.

Ordinary trees, unrecognized wild weeds, only those dragon scale-like tree moss was exceptional.

Of course, this was the perspective of Zhang Ze and Li Yueqi, the siblings.

However, from the eyes of Xia Yan and Little Fuji, it was not the same.

Xia Yan felt she had struck it rich; with just a glance, she saw several extinct Spirit Grass ancient plants.

Those plants, which had disappeared in the sands of time and could only be found in ancient texts and handbooks, were everywhere in this place.

Though these ancient plants weren't some life-restoring Spiritual Medicine, many of them possessed peculiar and wonderful uses.

Xia Yan's intuition told her that these herbs could definitely concoct several new Pill Formulas.

"Ah, that's a Jade Dragon Flower! That's Dragon Wood Moss! This, this, this, Li Jue, don't move! You can't step on that under your foot!"

Xia Yan could only hate her low cultivation level, lacking the Divinity Transformation skill, unable to just turn a blind eye, simply unable to see it all.

Meanwhile, Little Fuji felt like she'd arrived at an all-you-can-eat buffet, burrowing into the ground with muffled exclamations continuously moving underground.

"Sweet! They're all sweet!"

Just as the botanical archaeology was succeeding immensely, there was also a new discovery in biology.

"You guys, come look over here." To avoid Xia Yan having a breakdown from high blood pressure, Li Yueqi had been hovering as she entered the valley.

Afraid of accidentally stepping on an unknown little flower or weed, leading to Xia Yan's immediate demise on the spot.

Zhang Ze also hovered, following behind Li Yueqi, entering a small forest and carefully peeling aside a peculiar shaped shrub, Li Yueqi led Zhang Ze to a pond.

In the pond, a group of colorful little Qilins was splashing around in the water.

They not only differed in color, but also in some detailed aspects.

However, most of them, like the one in Elder Han's arms, couldn't walk on four limbs but only wiggled and twirled in the water.

Seeing Zhang Ze and Li Yueqi, they poked their heads out of the water, tilted their heads to gaze at the two, and then all began to spray water.

"What will become of this valley in a while..." Zhang Ze couldn't help but click his tongue.

In the dreamscape of the Greedy Wolf Taoist, simulated by the Profound Identification Treasure Mirror, Spirit Deer Valley had not yet reached this stage, the fish, frogs, insects, and birds were still normal.

But now...

Zhang Ze looked down and saw a palm-sized little Qilin jump onto his shoe from behind a bush.

Looking at the way this little Qilin was lying and its movement, Zhang Ze estimated it should have originally been a frog.

"Let's go inside and see more." Li Yueqi suggested.

As they continued deeper into the woods on either side of the valley, they discovered more unseen Spirit Beasts.

Not just limited to Qilins, they also encountered a species called Soaring Snake, whose body was like vines, able to gather or scatter.

Color deep green, legs growing fine hair, a small turtle with legs from which the armor could detach.

Standing on two legs, covered in scales, holding a piece of rock in its arms, with a crafty look on the face, a Bird Lizard.

After walking a short while, Zhang Ze and Li Yueqi encountered these new peculiarities.

Due to the influence of the village, the whole environment of Spirit Deer Valley started evolving into the Primordial.

"Not all animals have changed like this." Zhang Ze raised his hand to point at the grass, using mystical power to grab a gray-haired rabbit across space.

The appearance of this rabbit had not changed, but amidst the Spirit Deer Valley, it appeared out of place in its normality.

"Ancient bloodlines?" Li Yueqi also realized the core of the issue.

Not all ancient creatures went extinct; some evolved into other beings and continued in another form to this day.

The majority that remained were only bloodlines passed down.

Like the Spirit Beast Red Tiger Ape of the Beast Taming Sect, after reaching adulthood and advancing, some would undergo Ancestral Reversion, growing red armor on their arms and a horn on their head.

However, such a large scale and thorough Ancestral Reversion phenomena were unheard of.

"We should return first; this matter should be decided by your grandfather." After releasing the rabbit, Zhang Ze said to Li Yueqi.

...

Medicine King Valley, grass hut.

Beast Taming Sect's old Sect Leader Li Wenzhou was tapping his fingers on the table.

"Old quack, will you help or not?"

The old quack referred to by Li Wenzhou, Valley Master of Medicine King Valley Qin Lang, was facing away from Li Wenzhou, tending to a Spirit Plant.

Qin Lang was wearing a loose robe styled from the West Continent, with slightly dark skin, and compared with Li Wenzhou's muscular frame, had a much leaner build.

Furthermore, his appearance was only over thirty in years.

Just like smoking, one could be from the traditional faction or the reformist faction.
