Who let him join the Sword Sect?!
Chapter 886 - 439: The Elderly Son Can’t Stop His Unborn Father
"Speaking of which, where's Li gone?"
"No idea."
After coming home, Zhang Ze and the Junior Sister walked around twice but still couldn't find any trace of Li. When they tried calling with a little walnut, no one answered.
The house was spotless, and the den was chilly.
When they asked at the pedestrian street management office, the guard cultivator said that Li hadn't set up shop for the past few days, nor had he reported any new projects.
This Dragon had simply vanished, without a trace.
"Don't panic, I'll ask a professional."
This time, for some reason, Zhang Ze didn't pull out the little walnut but instead drew a circle array on the ground.
In the array was a hexagram intersected by the winds from the east, west, south, and north; above was Heavenly King, below was Earth Mother, on the left was the God of Wealth, on the right was a custom Thousand Mechanism Pavilion version of Om Messiah, and finally, a cross in the middle.
After finishing, Zhang Ze placed a little Taisui and a small Fuji figurine in the center, poured a pot of poison wine, and mumbled in gibberish.
"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Fuji, come forth quickly, tell me... cough, where has Li gone?"
In an unspeakable prayer, the equally unspeakable Fuji emerged from the ground.
Fuji was wearing a white robe; under a large wizard hat was a starry blue, her blue hair flowing, and four arms sneakily moving under the robe, pretending to be very mighty.
"Haha! Who's calling me? What do you want from the great Moon Princess?"
With her hands on her hips, Fuji looked at Zhang Ze and the Junior Sister; meanwhile, her little blue feet extended, using two toes to pinch the Taisui tribute and tuck it under her skirt.
"Impressive, huh?"
The Junior Sister was stunned, staring at the sudden appearance of Fuji.
She had heard the legends about Fuji, stories that had circulated from the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion elementary school.
It was said that if one summoned the great Fuji, through offerings, one could obtain answers to the monthly, mid-term, and final exams, thereby climbing to the peak of life and achieving the stellar ending.
It was one of the top ten legends of the Thousand Mechanism Academy.
"Of course it works, because I came up with the method myself," Zhang Ze responded casually, then took another Taisui out of his pocket to feed Fuji.
Junior Sister, "Why do it this way?"
Zhang Ze shrugged, "No real reason, I'm just bored."
Junior Sister, "So, can you really get the teacher's answers this way?"
Zhang Ze, "Of course not. If you actually believe in Fuji to cheat, the academic office will catch you on the spot and make you run around the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion three hundred times."
Junior Sister,"..."
"Hey! Don't ignore me! I'm very busy, okay~ What do you need me for?"
Ignored, the Moon Princess Fuji waved her hand in front of Zhang Ze with dissatisfaction.
"Where did Li go?" Zhang Ze asked directly.
"Wait, let me check..." Upon hearing this, Fuji immediately entered some strange state, transcending spatial and geographical restrictions, connecting with another self.
A moment later, Fuji shook her head and replied, "Li took Line One to the Beast Taming Sect."
"What's it doing there?" Zhang Ze was puzzled.
Fuji, "To feed the Ox."
...
Since the connection of the Earth Vein Transmission Line One between Cyan Thorn's Thousand Mechanism Pavilion and the Cang Mountain's Beast Taming Sect a few months ago, traveling between the two places has no longer been an issue.
Earth Vein Transmission is nearly cost-free, sending large passenger containers, each trip accommodating over a hundred people, every fifteen minutes, all day long.
Inexpensive, even the poorest loose cultivators can afford it.
The scarcity of land around Thousand Mechanism Town was thereby alleviated, and many industries were diversified.
Free from worries of overdevelopment, the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion had more time to establish detailed principles and regulations, eliminating many loopholes in previous systems.
Currently, except for having no intermediate stops, this line is almost perfect, with many benefits.
If there has to be a downside, there is indeed one: the Thousand Mechanism Town's elusive pirated gang has started to spill over towards Cang Mountain.
Although spilling over, they haven't targeted regular businesses, but have been fiercely targeting scalp sellers and ticket brokers.
This group of pirate hunters has driven brokers and scalpers into retreat.
It's said that these brokers and scalpers have also banded together, planning to move to remote areas such as the Northern Territory and Celestial Sect, intending to stage a grand encirclement and make a killing.
However, they probably don't know that the Earth Vein Transmission Line Two connects to Ling State, where the Celestial Sect is located.
And in the north, being family, the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion has already established mutual communication with Zhendong Trading Company.
The plan of split bases and technology transfer has already begun.
It is estimated that by the time the scalpers and brokers complete their layout and open up trade routes between the two places, the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion's Line Two and the Northern Territory's Demon Race Thousand Mechanism Pavilion branch base will almost be completed at the same time.
And to prevent these brokers and scalpers from losing hope prematurely, these two pieces of information are kept confidential; the currently released fake news is that Line Two is being prepared to connect to Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Meanwhile, through the Jianghu status of Fried Shide, Thousand Mechanism Pavilion sold off most of the soon-to-be-obsolete old goods and the junk produced with extra zeros added by Lily, which currently seemed useless and may not be useful in the future, to these scalpers.
This even helped them accumulate virtue without their consent.
Double merit belongs to them.
However, that's all for later. Currently, both loose cultivators and the Six Sects cultivators are marveling at the convenience of this Line One.
