Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

Last night, the insects outside kept chirping away, normally it's entertaining, but to Zhang Ze's ears, it sounded completely different.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's party! Yeah, yeah, yeah, sexy party time! Hey there, beautiful, we... oh yeah."

The little bugs aren't that clever, nor do they understand English, but their sounds meant roughly that to Zhang Ze.

After all, it is mating season right now.

It's really annoying.

Currently, Zhang Ze needs to solve the problem of how to turn off this 24-hour Animal Language mode.

After consultations with various Elder experts at the Beast Taming Sect, they thought it might be because Zhang Ze once received an infusion of Village power while in the Secret Realm.

Although that power came and went quickly, it left some marks in Zhang Ze's body.

But because Zhang Ze's situation is quite unique even within the Beast Taming Sect, they don't have any good methods.

In the end, the giant turtle Zhu Luo gave Zhang Ze a suggestion.

"Xiaoxue can hear the words of grass and trees; she should have a solution. Go find her and try it."

...

Arriving near the Ancient Tree.

Zhang Ze looks up; on the branches, two birds with gorgeous tail feathers are chirping away.

Others witnessing this scene might marvel at the beauty of nature, marvel at the vitality of early spring.

But Zhang Ze knows clearly, those two pretty little birds are swearing...

And swearing rather nastily.

"Senior Sister Xiaoxue, I'd like to consult you on something..." Zhang Ze tapped the tree trunk.

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures appeared before him, one descending from the treetop, the other emerging from the ground.

Xiaoxue gently landed, roots growing at her feet, "What's the matter?"

Yet Zhang Ze didn't respond but instead looked at Fuji emerging from the ground, "Where did you get these clothes?"

Fuji was wearing an outfit of a Medicine King Valley disciple at the moment.

"I have apprenticed under Xiaoxue." This Fuji spun around, showing Zhang Ze her new dress.

"Then what about our master, aren't we part of the Sword Sect?" Zhang Ze asked.

Fuji shook her head, "I didn't become a traitor, I'm still with the Sword Sect."

As soon as she finished speaking, a second Fuji appeared in front of Zhang Ze, dressed in Sword Sect attire, gave him a thumbs-up, then sank into the ground like a Terminator.

Zhang Ze sighed, "Good, it's all good, more skills never weigh you down, the master would understand."

"Senior Sister Xiaoxue, the reason I came today is because..."

In a nutshell, after Fuji's defection from the sect was glossed over, Zhang Ze began discussing his troubles with Xiaoxue.

But after listening, Xiaoxue simply shook her head and gently patted the Ancient Wood beside her.

"They're usually quite quiet, not so noisy, so your troubles I don't understand, but..."

Xiaoxue pondered for a moment, then said, "There's indeed a method, but this method is a secret technique from my Medicine King Valley, called Floating Life, so I cannot teach you."

Looking at Xiaoxue, Zhang Ze was thinking about his approach, after all, more lice doesn't scare a mangy dog, and debts don't worry a debtor, trying to negotiate with Senior Sister Xiaoxue should work out.

Though he didn't know the Cloning Technique, since Fuji could get a disciple status, maybe he could too.

Starting immortal cultivation as a Spirit Rice handyman is an essential step anyway.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoxue was quite adamant about this matter, being a representative of the master, she was very principled.

But luckily, Fuji felt sympathy for her senior brother and she had a solution.

Fuji pulled Xiaoxue's hand, whispered a few words to her, and after Xiaoxue listened, she mulled over with her plant-based brain for a moment and thought it feasible.

She gestured to Fuji that there were no issues.

Fuji then took out a Jade Scroll from her chest pocket, used Divine Sense to engrave the instructions for the Dharma Method of [Floating Life], then handed it to Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze took the Jade Scroll, feeling somewhat bewildered. He didn't know what kind of Enchanting Soup Fuji had brewed for Xiaoxue, but before Zhang Ze could ask, Xiaoxue suddenly raised her hand, and petals flew to bind Fuji.

"Fuji, you've violated sect rules, I shall now expel you from the sect and destroy your Dharma Body, do you have any complaints?"

"None."

"Good."

With that said, Xiaoxue exerted some force, and Fuji's body turned into...

About a dozen small Fujis.

Then, the giggling little Fujis merged back together, and a new Fuji appeared again.

Afterward, this Fuji bowed to Xiaoxue.

"Master Xiaoxue, please accept this disciple's salute!"

"Very good, very good."

After the process was completed, the two sisters, who have a lot in common, returned to their usual selves.

Xiaoxue's logic was clear, that the rules mustn't be violated, but as long as the rules were circumvented, that's your own skill...

The rules of Medicine King Valley were quite relaxed and tense in Xiaoxue's disregard.

Zhang Ze suspected they were playing some very new game, but he had no evidence.

"Crazy."

But nevermind, it's all good.

Seeing Xiaoxue and Fuji's demeanor, Zhang Ze said no more, thanked them with cupped hands, then turned to leave.

He left Spirit Deer Valley and jumped directly into Ring Lake.

Compared to those low-mannered birds, fish are still more quiet.

Sinking into the lake, Zhang Ze probed the Jade Scroll with Divine Sense and examined the Floating Life Technique.

Fuji had recorded it very meticulously, apparently transcribing the original text. According to the Jade Scroll, the Floating Life Technique was transmitted from the Barbarian Race of the West Continent and was later improved by the Medicine King Valley so that it could be practiced by Human Race cultivators.

This is a special cultivation Dharma Method.

In the concept of the Barbarian Race, all things have spirit, even rocks and plants, and the Floating Life Technique is the art of communicating with spirits.

It forms the foundation of the Barbarian Race's Witch Path cultivation.

This method allows one to ask the spirits of heaven and earth, and naturally, it can also block one's ears from hearing absurdities.

The Human Race's constitution differs from the Barbarian Race, even though this method is improved by the Medicine King Valley, the Human Race cultivators struggle to grasp it, achieving minimal success with much effort.
