Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 749 - 387: Rising Water Levels, Lily to Be Washed Away

Although explanations are just cover-ups, and cover-ups are just stories.

But fortunately, Zhang Ze's storytelling wasn't bad.

After catching up with Female Hero Li, Zhang Ze explained he wasn't human using a wonderful analogy from his junior sister. To prove it and divert her attention, he performed a daring feat.

Zhang Ze kicked the pillar beside him, and a mechanism transformed, ejecting a small box filled with Thousand Mechanism Thunder.

Flames and battle patterns in his eyes once again surfaced from beneath his skin, crawling up Zhang Ze's arm to his face.

"Hundred Elephant Divine Skill of the Celestial Sect? It looks real." Li Yueqi always had a skeptical attitude towards Zhang Ze's character.

Zhang Ze, who expected this, sighed and took a Thousand Mechanism Thunder from the box.

"Watch closely."

With that, Zhang Ze put it directly in his mouth and bit down.

In Female Hero Li's shocked gaze, flames and lightning burst from Zhang Ze's mouth, and just as they were about to damage the surrounding windows and carpet, Zhang Ze inhaled them back.

The flames and lightning became Zhang Ze's food.

[Barbaric Skill Iron-Eating Flame Swallowing]

During this process, Li Yueqi didn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations; Zhang Ze was using a legitimate Western Barbarian technique.

Even his foolishly fearless demeanor bore some resemblance.

After biting down on a Thousand Mechanism Thunder, Zhang Ze looked at Li Yueqi, "Now do you believe me?"

Li Yueqi shook her head and then nodded, "Do it again."

"Still don't believe me?" Zhang Ze asked in astonishment.

Li Yueqi replied, "No, I believe you. I just found it quite amusing and wanted to see it again."

Zhang Ze, "?"

"Ahem, alright, enough joking around. Here, take this." Li Yueqi lightly coughed and tossed a jade scroll into Zhang Ze's hand.

"This is the cultivation record of spirit beasts from our Beast Taming Sect over the years. Grandfather asked me to give it to you."

Taking the jade scroll, Zhang Ze closed his eyes. Due to the vast amount of text, it took him quite some time to examine it with his divine sense.

After finishing, he tossed the jade scroll back into Li Yueqi's hand.

"I knew it." Zhang Ze muttered to himself with a deep expression.

"Knew what? Is there a problem with the record?"

Li Yueqi frowned at Zhang Ze, feeling he was particularly annoying with his half-told statements, just like his grandfather.

Moreover, not just his tone, his attitude was the same.

Cultivating spirit beasts is the hallmark of the Beast Taming Sect, but from Zhang Ze's expression, it seemed as if they couldn't possibly make a mistake in breeding.

"There's nothing wrong with the record, I just discovered something." Zhang Ze said, drawing a curve in front of Li Yueqi using spiritual energy.

The curve was a consistently upward wavy line, with the waves becoming increasingly close as it went on.

"The horizontal axis is the years, the vertical axis is the quality of spirit beasts of the same age group. Looking at the timeline, the foundation and potential of your Beast Taming Sect's spirit beasts are improving."

"What else would it be?" Li Yueqi was puzzled, "All these years, we've been optimizing the secret techniques for breeding spirit beasts, isn't it normal for them to improve?"

"Normal is normal, but this trend is off." Zhang Ze said, pointing out several dots on the graph.

These were the points where the Beast Taming Sect innovated and optimized their breeding methods.

They were irregular, sometimes happening every few hundred years, other times densely packed in just a few decades.

Some of them matched the regular and graceful wave trend of spirit beast growth, but not all.

There was something else making the spirit beasts stronger and healthier.

"What's going on?" Li Yueqi asked.

Zhang Ze leaned against the pillar and fished out several jade scrolls from his bosom, tossing them into Li Yueqi's hand.

"This one is from Fuji, a cultivation record for maturing Golden Ginseng from the Medicine King Valley. The growth trend is almost identical to your Beast Taming Sect's spirit beasts... huh, what is it?"

Zhang Ze saw the odd expression on Li Yueqi's face when she received the jade scroll.

"You took the wrong one. This isn't a cultivation record; it's a ginseng photo album..." Li Yueqi returned the jade scroll to Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze, "..."

He snapped the jade scroll in half to destroy the evidence and continued speaking as if nothing had happened.

"Ahem, this is an enforcement record we got from the Sword Hall of the Sword Sect. Among the troublemakers, the number and proportion of cultivators have been increasing yearly.

"The Song Family in artifact refining also sent a record. Before we came up with our small walnuts, most of the Sound Transmission Jades in East Continent were manufactured by their family. The quality of the jades has been improving despite no changes in craftsmanship.

"These are some records taken from the Demon Race and Jade Book Tower, showing that the spiritual energy in the Four Continents has become more abundant than before."

After speaking, Zhang Ze waved his hand and drew another batch of charts in front of Li Yueqi.

When these small matters, disregarded due to the vast time span, were translated into charts, everything became a periodically explosive but generally upward-trending wavy line.

From these charts, it seemed the cultivation environment of the Four Continents was improving.

"So isn't this a good thing? What's the problem?" Li Yueqi was puzzled.

The quality of spiritual ore was increasing, spiritual energy was becoming richer, mortals were more easily sensing Qi to cultivate, and the quality of spirit plants and beasts was rising.

The baseline was improving; it seemed like the Four Continents were turning into a Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

All of these seemed positive.

She didn't understand why Zhang Ze looked so concerned.

"I suspect this situation is related to the Earth Sea." Zhang Ze said.

Li Yueqi, "Earth Sea?"

"When I accidentally 'fell' in there recently, I 'saw' some things." Zhang Ze carefully chose his words.
