Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

Sometimes, when he doesn't have time to defend, he even uses his Golden Core.

The Golden Core, which is supposed to be a vital point for Golden Core Cultivators, can be used as a Protective Magical Artifact for Zhang Ze.

Fuji slashed several times, but not even a white mark appeared on Zhang Ze's Golden Core.

As for Fuji, her Sword Control Technique is indeed a true inheritance from Li, and it's flawless.

But there were some issues with her body, and now whenever Fuji makes a move, a wave of medicinal aroma surrounds her.

The opponent, upon smelling it, feels invigorated and rejuvenated, a kind of aroma that restores health while fighting.

Fuji said herself that she had a mishap while practicing a Dharma Method of Medicine King Valley.

Probably due to her unique traits not being weaker than Zhang Ze's, Fuji's cultivation course is also a new test for Medicine King Valley.

Currently, over at Spirit Deer Valley, the Beast Taming Sect and Medicine King Valley have formed a new project group, learning from the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion model.

Fuji, as both a researcher and the subject of research, is fully participating, and the two major sects are reasonably solving the issue of Fuji's peculiar aroma.

This is a new challenge spanning the two major categories of both animals and plants.

"Master, don't worry, I won't die, and even if I do, it won't be the end." This is how Fuji reassured Li.

...

Clang, clang, the last two Flying Swords clashed, then simultaneously flew backward.

Fuji stretched lazily, clearly a bit sleepy, while Zhang Ze, after taking medicine for four hours, was now invigorated.

Li clapped his hands and called his two disciples to point out the mistakes they just made, and only after Fuji was so sleepy that she sank into the ground did Li let her leave.

As for Zhang Ze, he had to have a private lesson for a while longer.

It's not that Li is biased, but Zhang Ze's education model is unique, requiring some beatings to improve. And because it's quite unseemly, Zhang Ze requested it be done privately to maintain his heroic and valiant image in front of Fuji.

Another four hours, and the series of buffs Fuji gave Zhang Ze had been exhausted.

Li caught the Golden Core that burst out of the ground to ambush him with one hand, then threw it back; the Golden Core merged into Zhang Ze's body again.

Zhang Ze remained motionless.

"Alright, stop pretending."

Li looked at his disciple pretending to be dead on the ground, sighed, and then encouraged, "Today's practice was good, but you shouldn't slack off on your homework. I left you..."

He only spoke for a moment before realizing something was wrong.

Zhang Ze, lying on the ground, was completely silent. Li hurriedly went forward to check, but as soon as he reached out to touch Zhang Ze, the Zhang Ze on the ground turned into a pile of scorched earth...

In the scorched earth, there was a note.

"I've finished my homework ahead of time and went out to play. See you tomorrow, master."

Holding the note and looking at the pile of scorched earth at his feet, Li recalled but still couldn't figure out when this kid had escaped.

He had been careless.

But no worries, tomorrow's lesson will be doubled.

...

Now that Zhang Ze is free again, he returned to his original lifestyle, occasionally pulling out some magical little spells from his pocket.

However, these spells have evolved from the original Qi Cultivation Techniques to Golden Core Techniques.

This spell of Burrowing and Shedding is a new trick from the past two days.

Of course, escaping is not just due to the magic of the spell but also relies on Zhang Ze's Night Demon Emperor Armor 2.0, upgraded by his granduncle.

With this, he managed to evade his master's Divine Sense.

Zhang Ze snapped his fingers handsomely, and the black mist around him dissipated, revealing himself on the streets of Thousand Mechanism Town.

By now, it was nighttime, the time when Thousand Mechanism Town came alive.

To be honest, Zhang Ze actually wanted most to go to the Jade Book Tower.

Of course, he wasn't going to the Jade Book Tower to cause trouble. After his master's lessons, he realized his mistakes deeply.

He's going to the Jade Book Tower to offer suggestions.

In the past few days, he took the time to compile a thick proposal, which includes not just some of his little suggestions but also a win-win project plan.

However, the Jade Book Tower is still upgrading, and a restriction was set around it.

This restriction only targets Zhang Ze, and as soon as he approaches, lightning starts to fall as a warning.

No way, the Artifact Spirit is displeased with him.

High Tier Artifact Spirits are all stubborn, and even the seemingly easy-going Profound Identification Treasure Mirror is the same.

The Celestial Calculation Disc from Dragon Tiger Mountain can feign death and sulk with the Taoists for tens of thousands of years.

The Jade Book Tower only strikes him with lightning, and Zhang Ze thinks this is thanks to the Profound Identification's face, plus the fact he looks handsome.

So, after confirming the Jade Book Tower was still striking with lightning today, Zhang Ze went to find Li in Thousand Mechanism Town for some fun.

Li's little fortune-telling stall in Thousand Mechanism Town was still in operation, except the time and place were not fixed; it was set wherever it ended up.

Although it changed from a fixed store to a mobile stall, Li's fortune-telling business expanded significantly.

Now it is no longer limited to the traditional Dragon Tiger Mountain methods, as with the joining of Rongrong and Maomao, the fortune-telling business has added parts like chicks pecking cards and puppies shaking hands for arithmetic, giving it a sort of petting zoo flair.

Patting Maomao's dog's head is an extra paid service.

Moreover, Li incorporated Western Barbarian Witch Gu techniques, offering self-service turtle shell spins and shoe tossing for solutions.

Even the little monk was brought in by Li as a guest consultant, blending Buddhist and Taoist practices, catering to a "you believe in what we have" approach.

This emphasizes a customer-centric business philosophy.

Just as Zhang Ze arrived, he saw the reincarnated Bag Arhat enlightening people.

The words sounded familiar.

They were all about defying odds, moving forward courageously, and winning through struggle...

Today, not only the little monk was by the stall, but even the Profound Identification Treasure Mirror was floating around, doing things mirrors are supposed to do.
