Zhang Ze, "..."

Looking at the scene over there, Zhang Ze was a bit speechless for a moment. He found Mr. Qin and the Barbarian Race rather abstract.

There lay a basin at the border of the West Continent and the Northern Territory. At the basin's entrance was a solitary peak akin to a road sign, with five big characters carved into its mountain body.

[Qin Lang Arena]

Judging by the desolate appearance of the basin, it's likely witnessed many battles.

Zhang Ze suspected that the barbarians might not have a bad relationship with Mr. Qin, and the so-called Holy Tree Defense Battle might just be a part of their play.

Otherwise, it's hard to explain such an impish behavior.

Suppressing his doubts, Zhang Ze continued to watch quietly.

At this time, in the sky above the basin, Daxiong's father transformed into a giant with four arms and eight limbs, confronting Qin Lang.

Daxiong's mother was watching from nearby.

And Qin Lang had also transformed, turning into a giant Asura of similar color.

However, he had three heads and six arms and was shorter than Daxiong's father.

Zhang Ze, "Huh?"

Sect Leader Lu knew what Zhang Ze was curious about and explained, "Don't forget, half of the previous Valley Masters of the Medicine King Valley had Western Barbarian bloodlines, and Qin Lang is no exception."

Zhang Ze responded oh, then asked, "But in that case, won't Valley Master Qin be lacking one head and two arms? Can he win?"

Lu Yuzhou, "Hard to say, they were just brawling for fun before, never truly fought seriously before, but even if he doesn't win, he won't lose.

"After all, before you, he was the most shameless among the Six Sects."

Zhang Ze was astonished, "Is Valley Master Qin really worse than Taoist?"

Lu Yuzhou, "Old Tang is just crazy, but when it comes to real fighting, he's quite proper... you'll see for yourself."

As soon as Lu Yuzhou spoke, everything in the basin came to life, writhing and spreading.

A vast ring of Divine Wood covered the basin's sky, turning this space into Qin Lang's garden.

Under the influence of vitality, the land, air, and plants all became extensions of Qin Lang, everything turned into weapons at Qin Lang's disposal, even including Daxiong's father himself.

The blue-black skin dissolved, healed, and the blood vessels under the skin wriggled, seemingly ready to burst out.

This rather sinister technique compensated for the absence of one head and two arms.

However, no matter how they fought, the two never left the basin's range and maintained basic restraint.

Zhang Ze watched for a long time and then exclaimed, "Wow, are all doctors this uncanny?"

Lu Yuzhou, while watching, told Zhang Ze, "You know that Medicine King Valley was formerly the Gu Gate of the Southern Border, right?"

Zhang Ze, "I know."

Lu Yuzhou, "Although Medicine King Valley now focuses on healing and nurturing, they never truly abandoned the Gu Technique but transformed it into another form of inheritance.

"The Valley Master is also a Gu Master.

"Their inherited Gu is called the Life Gu, cultivated by the first generation Valley Master and passed down to this day.

"No one except each generation's Valley Master has seen the specifics, but it's evidently powerful, just like what you're seeing now."

Zhang Ze gasped, "So powerful, could it be that Valley Master Qin is after something today?"

Lu Yuzhou shook his head, "Not necessarily, there might be another reason he's using it, look over there."

Zhang Ze turned his head following Lu Yuzhou's direction and saw another family of three on the other side of the basin. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Li Yueqi's siblings and their mother, who is also Qin Lang's apprentice, Mrs. Qin Ruyue, were watching this battle.

They seemed quite amused watching it.

"Life Gu..." Zhang Ze realized, "Is it really time for a change?"

Lu Yuzhou, "Probably, Qin Lang is likely planning to give up and run with the flow, passing the Valley Master position to his disciple, and naturally, the Life Gu must also be passed on.

"It's the last time, might as well use it, and also demonstrate its use to the apprentice.

"Of course, if he can grasp the Holy Tree a bit, that would be even better."

As they spoke, a ripple suddenly appeared at the valley entrance behind them.

The Celestial Sect array set by Lu Yuzhou was triggered, squeezing out a green plant-like figure from the void.

The little figure bore some resemblance to Qin Lang's eyebrows and eyes, and it gave Lu Yuzhou the middle finger before being blasted away by a starlight.

Zhang Ze, "..."

Strategic maneuvering, huh.

Lu Yuzhou sighed and muttered, "In my opinion, it's better not to change. Without the binding of the Valley Master position, who knows what nonsense Qin Lang will do."

Zhang Ze was also a bit speechless. He originally thought the change of leadership in Medicine King Valley was just for fun.

Just like how Old Tang would clamour about opening a Four Continents Foot Massage City in Dragon Tiger Mountain every day.

Never expected this really happened.

'Oh no, could it be that the foot massage city might come true as well, hearing that the Taoist is now engaging votes for election, seems like he's garnering quite a lot of votes...'

Lu Yuzhou gave Zhang Ze, whose thoughts started wandering, a sidelong glance but mistook his intention.

"Do you think being the head of a sect is easy? This kind of work is very tiring."

"Uh, yeah," Zhang Ze, who was still thinking about the foot massage city, paused and then instinctively replied, "I didn't think so, being the boss sounds great..."

Lu Yuzhou, "Oh, then why aren't you back at the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion working on your five-year plan with Lily? You've passed all the work to Lily and come out here instead to fool around?"

Zhang Ze awkwardly mumbled and then fell silent.

He glanced down at the small walnut, flipping through the chat records.

He found that Lily had already climbed out from Fuji's love, fully recovered, and engaged in the next battle with full energy.
