Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

Outside Ring Lake, Thousand Mechanism Pavilion's base.

"So, did your committee succeed?" Lily asked.

Although Lily was talking to Zhang Ze, her eyes remained fixed on the crystal jade bottle on the table, containing a liquid that was purple with hints of pink and blue, looking anything but promising.

Moreover, Lily occasionally added new ingredients to it, although the amount was quite casual. Under the effects of three arrays, the liquid in the bottle began to merge with those suspicious-looking ingredients.

Watching the mysterious potion in the bottle start to bubble, Zhang Ze took a step back and said, "No, the Pavilion Master and others found it troublesome, too tiring to differentiate between the correct and the vice, so they directly changed it to the Spirit Deer Alliance."

"Representing the friendship between the four sects and the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, after all, it's the old order." Zhang Ze took another step back. "Lily, what on earth are you doing?"

"It's my day off, naturally making some little inventions beneficial to the bright future of the Four Continents." Lily shook the crystal jade bottle in her hand, then capped it.

"I exchanged some secret recipes of pill medicine from the sisters at Medicine King Valley and added some ingredients using the Artifact Refining Technique."

"Refining artifacts?" Zhang Ze asked.

"Yes, I see no difference between refining medicine and artifacts, anyway I just increased the dosage." Lily shrugged.

"So what is this?" Zhang Ze asked.

"Naturally, it's ammunition for the Thousand Mechanism Magical Artifact." Lily finished, pinching a spell, the bottle cap opened with a 'pop', and the liquid inside was directed by Lily to shoot at a wooden frame.

On the wooden frame was a robe, and underneath hung a piece of red meat.

The liquid exploded; the robe just got slightly touched before instantly dissolving, while the piece of red meat remained unaffected.

"Amazing, right? This potion only affects ordinary clothes but is harmless to humans, one drop can leave them bare."

Lily stepped forward to check the condition of the piece of red meat, cut off the part contaminated with the potion, and gave the rest to Maomao.

Zhang Ze watched Maomao eating the meat for a while, then said to Lily, "So how do you plan to sell this?"

"Eww, boss, we're a reputable Righteous Sect, selling this stuff isn't good, it's my secret magical treasure."

"What's wrong with that." Zhang Ze said to Lily, "Let me imagine a scenario for you."

"Two brothers are training in the wild, one is seriously injured and can't move, to heal they need to remove clothing. This potion comes in handy, without moving the injured, it can remove the clothing for healing."

"Isn't that a bit hypocritical of us?" Lily asked.

"Hypocritical how, our intentions are good, how they use it is a customer's issue, any problem is their mindset." Zhang Ze pondered for a moment and continued to offer mischievous advice.

"By the way, make the antidote before selling, it's best to produce fabric resistant to its corrosion, then we mainly sell clothes."

"This is called potion intimidation, you might not have the potion, but definitely need wearable clothes."

This time, Lily's conscience finally surfaced, she dismissed it with a wave of her hand, "We'll talk about it later."

Then crouched down and continued to pet Maomao, "Good dog."

Seeing the master praised him, Maomao barked twice.

Zhang Ze continued to watch Maomao, then as he was leaving, said to Lily, "Try not to praise him as a good dog."

"Why?" Lily asked.

"Because Maomao thinks it's a compliment to humans too, those two barks mean saying you are a good dog, the best dog." Zhang Ze explained, and Maomao responded with another timely bark.

"What does this bark mean?" Lily asked.

Zhang Ze shook his head, "This bark doesn't mean anything, it's just simple barking."

After bidding farewell to Lily, Zhang Ze stepped into the Teleportation Array, directly heading to the Spirit Deer Valley above Ring Lake.

After half a month of effort, the ground facilities in Spirit Deer Valley were mostly established, and various areas were delineated.

The Little Qilin Kindergarten, due to the presence of that ancient tree, has become a relic, currently only Xiaoxue is staying there.

She is helping to plan the growth area of this ancient tree, preventing it from growing happily, uprooting the medicinal garden carefully tended by junior brothers and sisters.

And Zhang Ze came to find Xiaoxue for a lesson.

The reason for the lesson was for his Spirit Control Technique.

Although coming to Cang Mountain stirred a series of events, Zhang Ze's initial purpose was merely to learn the Beast Taming Sect's Spirit Control Technique, to complete his Golden Core from the Beast Taming Sect.

The intention was simple.

As for the result, whether accomplished or not.

Old Sect Leader Li kept his word, personally taught, breaking down this fundamental method of the Beast Taming Sect for Zhang Ze.

But regarding the final teaching outcome, Old Sect Leader Li commented,

"Being your master is exhausting."

Just like how Zhang Ze's Golden Core was different from ordinary people's, this Spirit Control Technique also differed somewhat when it came to him.

The Spirit Control Technique is a Dharma Method for Beast Taming Sect cultivators to cultivate alongside their Spirit Beast, gradually achieving a heart-to-heart connection.

This very specific and private dharma method when it reached Zhang Ze became somewhat inclusive.

After practicing the Spirit Control Technique, Zhang Ze can understand the speech of spirit beasts and various animals...

More accurately, the emotions in their calls, such as anger or happiness.

These "languages", depending on the intelligence of the animal, were automatically translated into understandable meanings for Zhang Ze.

This method seemed invincible but has a flaw.

It's that he can't turn it off, it's become passive.

Since yesterday, Zhang Ze has been in this rather uncomfortable state.
