Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

Zhang Ze composed himself, standing behind Tang, waiting for the Taoist to lecture him.

However, Tang remained silent for a long time, then suddenly, mischievously asked, "Kid, what are your thoughts on moving mountains?"

Zhang Ze, who had already prepared his emotions, was momentarily taken aback. He paused for a while, "What method? What are you talking about, Taoist?"

"The method of moving mountains, do you have any clues?" Tang said frankly and with ease.

"Don't you know how?" Zhang Ze asked.

"I should know, maybe." Tang replied somewhat uncertainly.

Zhang Ze, "?"

Zhang Ze moved in front of Tang, looked at his immortal-like appearance, "Taoist, don't mess with me, the method of moving mountains was your idea, asking me, a fake Golden Core."

"I'm Foundation Establishment, isn't it normal for me to ask you?" Tang looked innocent, "Besides, ever since the Ancestral Master passed down this method of moving mountains, no one has ever used it. After all, mountain monsters are heavy, who would bother to move them if they have nothing better to do? I don't even know if it's effective."

"Then what was that immortal technique you just did, what about the compass? Isn't it for geomancy?" Zhang Ze pointed at the starry sky and asked.

"Soundproofing, to prevent that old rascal Li Wenzhou from hearing." Tang answered.

Zhang Ze, "..."

Seeing Zhang Ze's look of utter despair, Tang suddenly clapped and laughed, "Just teasing you, when have I ever tricked you? The method of moving mountains is guaranteed to be fine, I'm asking you something else."

"Do you have any ideas about moving mountains?" Tang asked again, continuing to speak in riddles with Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze thought for a while, as if realizing something, "Are you talking about how to really get the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion involved?"

Tang nodded, "Smart."

He then continued to give guidance.

"Fulfilling that dragon's wish is one kind of affection, and your good relationship with those two kids, Li Yueqi and Li Jue, is also affection, but ultimately it's your own personal matter, not the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion's.

"Li Wenzhou came to seek my help, and that's a matter between him and me.

"Building a few buildings or doing some business with the Thousand Mechanism Magical Artifacts, those are just small deals, each one is separate.

"To really play together with the Beast Taming Sect, personal relationships are not enough, it must come to something substantial.

"The Medicine King Valley needs the Beast Taming Sect's environment to grow flowers and plants, and the Beast Taming Sect also needs the Medicine King Valley's environment to help Spirit Beasts advance, that's the reality.

"This is how relationships between sects are built."

After listening to Tang, Zhang Ze scratched his head, somewhat troubled.

He hadn't thought about it, or rather, he had been thinking about it all along, but indeed had no clues.

As Tang said, that's a personal matter between Zhang Ze and the Beast Taming Sect. He'd be a respected guest if he went there himself, but for the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion to exchange in the same way as Sword Sect and Dragon Tiger Mountain, it'd be a bit difficult.

Moreover, given Zhang Ze's status, he's still a junior. Joking around with Li Jue is no problem, but having some conversations with old man Li Wenzhou feels a bit inappropriate.

"But this is probably not mine to bring up, after all, I'm a junior..."

"I'm a senior, you can leave it to me, the Taoist."

Zhang Ze thought for a moment and said, "The matter of the Beast Taming Thousand Mechanism Armor? Collaborating from this angle, what do you think?"

Tang shook his head, "Not quite enough, it's still business."

Seeing Zhang Ze fall into contemplation again, Tang felt slightly disappointed, "How come you're being such a slowpoke again?"

He patted the large bluestone beneath him, "This Spirit Deer Valley, without us, the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, the mountain-moving matter cannot be accomplished!"

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Ze asked.

"Look at this." Seeing Zhang Ze still not understanding, Tang handed him the mystical Fengshui Secret Technique passed down from his Ancestral Master.

"This book is extremely mystical, though it looks worn, it's also a magical treasure. No one knows what divine techniques the Ancestral Master placed on it, no matter your level of cultivation, it's obscure and hard to understand each time and never the same. This might be the heavenly secrets cannot be known..."

"Although you're half a beat behind me, the Taoist, you're extremely smart. Take a look at this book, understand even a third of it, and you'll roughly grasp what I'm implying."

Zhang Ze carefully opened the book, but he didn't experience any mental disturbance or receive any immortal empowerment.

He only felt that the characters in the book were indeed quite ugly, filled with scribbles and mistakes. One might call it cursive if they're being generous, but otherwise, it's just messy writing.

"These words are really hard to understand, what is this supposed to be saying..."

The first sentence on the book started with me, a poor Taoist, say... followed by a few unrecognizable characters.

But Tang was quite taken aback by Zhang Ze.

"Words! You can see the words?!"

Tang was so shocked he almost frightened Zhang Ze out of his wits, the book nearly fell to the ground.

Zhang Ze was somewhat puzzled, "What else would there be if not words? Taoist, you can't see them?"

Tang shook his head.

The mountain wind gently blew, the shadows of the trees swayed lightly, and the old man and the youth suddenly fell silent.

After a long quiet, Tang finally spoke, "What does the book say?"

Under the moonlight, Zhang Ze read for another moment and roughly understood half a page, but when Tang asked, his tone was somewhat hesitant, "Do you really want to know?"

"Speak!"
