Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

After listening to Lily's explanation, an Elder from the Beast Taming Sect gave her a strange look, thinking that upon returning, it would be necessary to formulate more regulations.

When people from the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion come to borrow, buy, or request things, even if it's just junk, they should leave a written record, and preferably, also explain the intended use.

It's not a matter of being unfriendly; the main concern is avoiding potential dangers they might create, and to be able to rescue in time or keep a watchful eye on them.

If today they're daring enough to explode the Beast Taming Ring, who knows what they'll dare to explode tomorrow; it's simply unimaginable.

Watching those Artifact Refiners from the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion who looked either suddenly enlightened, eager to try, or contemplative after hearing Lily's story, this Elder took a step back and left the area directly; he planned to take immediate action to avoid unnecessary worries.

"So, what did you put in those Beast Taming Rings? How come there's only that one with such power?" Zhang Ze asked.

Regarding this question, Lily naturally had already prepared. Those items were randomly placed due to a whim, but she made records after placing them in.

Lily took out a small book, glanced at it, and said,

"Half a Qilin's horn that was shed, refining residue from Magical Artifact creation, a Five Thunders Talisman from Dragon Tiger Mountain, and a stone."

"Try again, see which item caused the effect." Zhang Ze said.

Saying this, he and Lily, along with the group of Thousand Mechanism Cultivators, got busy.

Seeing the academic atmosphere suddenly pervading the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, Elder Han felt uneasy, and decided to stay.

Elder Han, stroking his chin, looked at those Beast Taming Rings, feeling something odd.

He always felt that his disciples were now practicing while carrying bombs...

After the group toiled through the night and acquired another batch of Beast Taming Rings, Lily and the others finally found the source of the explosive power.

Those were the refining residues obtained from processing Dan Dan ores in Artifact Refining.

"What are Dan Dan ores?" Zhang Ze, accustomed to being the hands-off shopkeeper, was only half-informed on some matters within the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.

"You forgot, those are Dan Dan's items." It wasn't Lily speaking, but Li.

During the trip to Wangyang City, not only did they pick up Dan Dan, but also met the Fox Demon Bai Tao, and connected with the Northern Territory's Zhendong Trading Company.

In the underground veins where Dan Dan was found, there were abundant special mineral deposits.

These minerals hold special properties, and after being refined with Dan Dan's unique Secret Technique, possess the effects of harmonization and stabilization.

It is the best catalyst, capable of merging metals with opposing traits and turning crafted items a silvery white.

Sword Casting Peak of the Sword Pavilion also has nhu for them.

Moreover, the Zhendong Trading Company, which recently struck a deal with the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, discovered similar mineral deposits in other areas of the Northern Territory.

They are plentiful and renewable, albeit slowly, but enough for the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion to play around with for a long, long time.

And because of the general tendency of the Thousand Mechanism members to hoard, these refining residues from Dan Dan ores weren't discarded but were stored up in some vault in the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion...

Having discovered a new world, Zhang Ze and others once again requested some useless Spatial Magical Artifacts from Elder Han.

However, during the next experiment, they were not as fortunate.

This time there was no explosion.

They experimented five more times but only succeeded once; the consecutive success in the first two attempts was just a coincidence.

The reason for the failures remained undetermined for the time being.

Evidently, making Spatial Magical Artifacts explode with such power requires more than just stuffing some refining residue inside; there are secrets Lily and the others have yet to uncover.

If they want this thing to become another effective tool of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, more time is needed.

"For the time being, don't sell these things once they're made; it's easy to trigger a trust crisis," Zhang Ze said.

Lily nodded in agreement, as she had thought the same.

Days later, Lily returned to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion at Cyan Thorn.

With Dan Dan at Spirit Deer Valley, the subsequent construction could proceed.

Mainly, her curiosity was piqued, and she couldn't not blow things up, and in her own place, she could let loose a bit.

Li intended to stay at the Beast Taming Sect for a few more days.

Firstly, to help test the Thousand Machine Armor, and secondly, because it realized that due to Spirit Deer Valley's influence, it was also undergoing some transformation.

...

Spirit Deer Valley.

The Ancient Wood had now grown to the size of a small mountain, but with the help of Xiaoxue and Fuji, it had stabilized.

The entire Ancient Wood seemed almost like a world of its own, and the new site for Little Qilin Kindergarten was moved back here.

This time, with ample time, there was no need for Thousand Mechanism Cultivators to intervene. Xiaoxue and Xia Yan built an eco-friendly kindergarten based on the environment here.

Now, the area around the Ancient Wood is divided into four layers, with the topmost being where Xiaoxue sunbathes, and the underground where Fuji rests.

On the ground is the kindergarten, and the middle layer is where Li and some monkeys reside.

Having changed roles to become King Geeko, Li was in seclusion here.

Inside a treehouse, Li hung in the air with its legs dangling.

It wanted to imitate Zhang Ze's cross-legged posture during his seclusion, but with its short legs, it couldn't, and had to settle for this.

Golden whirlpools swirled around it, eventually merging into its body, and Li's eyes opened.

It reached out to touch its head.

"I grew horns!"

...

Yinhu City.

Spring Rain slays the Dragon, the two significant events of the Four Sects moving mountains, happened many days ago, and both Mortals and many Cultivators have since put them behind.

Now, the cities around Cang Mountain have returned to their usual peace.

After all, it was too surreal and somewhat distant.

Zhang Ze and Li Yueqi sat atop the wall, watching the Foundation Establishment Stage elders flying back and forth outside the city.
