Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 568 - 327: I’m His Mom_3

[Literary Girl Bai Taotao: Xiaoqin, look, someone’s spreading rumors about the teacher over here!]

Below this message is a photo taken by Bai Tao.

It shows a poorly printed newspaper called "Thousand Mechanism True Evening News."

Clearly, it’s a knockoff trying to capitalize on the Thousand Mechanism Town Evening News.

But that’s not important; the most important thing is the headline news on the front page.

[The Cultivation Realm of Central Continent reports bad news: a Golden Core genius under 20, known only as Zhang, was found dead suddenly in his cave mansion.

The deceased had long-term overconsumption of pills, his blood thick like spiritual liquid, having not just one but double the size of a typical cultivator’s golden core.

His entire body’s meridians were damaged in multiple places, needing to consume a thousand pills daily as snacks, stuffing his meridians and dantian to the brim.

He repeatedly emphasized that ancient cultivation and rigorous meditation were fundamental.

But now he pops pills like candy, taking empowerment sessions that last the full twelve two-hour periods.

Rumor has it that a great power said if he couldn’t stand the hardship of pills and empowerment, he’d have to endure the hardship of cultivation.

As the saying goes, if it can’t kill you, keep taking it until it can. Three parts cultivation, seven parts fortuitous encounters, the remaining ninety rely on: Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills, Golden Yuan Pills, Taiyi Great Returning Pills, Nine Dragon Celestial Pills, Guiyuan Divinity Transformation Pills...]

This report is very long; besides accusing fake medicine and spreading rumors of Zhang Ze’s death, it also discreetly suggests that they have real medicine for sale.

Taking it won’t give you Zhang Ze’s Tenth-Layer power, but it can give you a third, without any side effects.

This sort of thing isn’t actually the first time.

After Zhang Ze made a big splash at the Qinghe Association, he became the leading figure among the young generation of cultivators, and due to the popularity of Little Walnut, not many people didn’t recognize his face.

Even the shady merchants in Thousand Mechanism Town began using Zhang Ze in advertisements, with slogans like "Even Zhang Ze says it’s good" popping up everywhere.

Among these were some exaggerated claims or things written blindly just to grab attention.

However, because Zhang Ze himself didn’t really mind and was busy dealing with the Hundred Demons Sect, he never paid much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, his nonchalance made some people more brazen.

Gazing at the information on Little Walnut, the Junior Sister, who had just been filled with Enchanting Soup by Zhang Ze, felt it was time to take strong action to defend her senior brother’s image.

After notifying Lily using Little Walnut about the matters Zhang Ze entrusted, she switched the chat window back to Bai Tao’s chat.

In any case, first, let’s take down this fake medicine den.

[Chen Qin: Bai Tao, gather some of your second-generation demon race folks, let’s demolish that fake medicine den.]

[Literary Girl Bai Taotao: Already done, they’ve been waiting impatiently, where do we meet?]

Chen Qin, "?"

[Chen Qin: Thousand Mechanism Town Square, walk east for fifty meters, under the big poplar tree.]

After ending the conversation with Bai Tao, Chen Qin sent a message to Li Yueqi.

[Sister Qi, lend me a few good dogs, not the kind like Maomao, I want to unleash dogs to bite people.]

...

Outside Lily’s invincible personal laboratory, two words were illuminated on a stone.

Occupied.

Inside the room, Lily held Little Walnut, looking at the message Chen Qin sent, and gave a cheerful whistle.

"I knew my brain was amazingly smart, didn’t even need instructions, and I’m already in sync with the boss. I’m truly a genius."

Lily was currently researching the Human Emperor Banner with a congealed Fuji.

A small section that had been cut off.

Although this partially-destroyed Human Emperor Banner had undergone sealing treatment, the noise, or rather the pollution it emitted, still existed.

And the higher one’s cultivation, the more pronounced the effect.

People like the mother-in-law and Old Sect Leader Li couldn’t even glance at it too much, or they’d be affected.

As for low-tier cultivators or those like Lily, deemed the shame for being weaker than a dog, they could look but not touch or use divine sense to interact.

So the only ones who could handle this Human Emperor Banner were either Zhang Ze or some things that weren’t human.

Like top-tier magical artifacts, they couldn’t hear the jabbering from within the Human Emperor Banner.

And Fuji...

But Fuji’s case was quite special; she resisted the Human Emperor Banner’s pollution using an alternative method.

In her own words, she couldn’t ignore it; rather, she could out-argue it.

Fuji can engage in even more meaningless conversations with the jibber-jabber from within the Human Emperor Banner, and she even has the upper hand.

Though what this ’logic’ is, nobody but Fuji can comprehend it.

This form of Fuji, known as ’clump,’ has its own narrative. According to Zhang Ze, it operates in a zip mode.

By compressing, within a certain volume, it accommodates more mini Fu-ji, allowing multiple mouths within without affecting her maneuvers, achieving the effect of a thousand mouths speaking.

This is somewhat twisted, possibly even more twisted than the Human Emperor Banner...

The clump of Fuji, holding the Human Emperor Banner, turned towards Lily, "I’m ready, come on in."

Though they had agreed well in advance, Lily was still a bit hesitant, "Isn’t there any other method?"

Fuji, "Nope, I don’t understand artifact refining. What else can we do besides integrating?"

"Alright," Lily stripped completely, then struggled to put on a white, tight-fitting bodysuit.

This outfit was something Lily snagged from Zhang Ze, a special suit he had made for Chen Qin for some unspeakable purpose.

There were three of them: red, white, and pink. Lily favored the white one, so she took a new one and modified it to fit her figure.

This suit had a small tag attached to it, with three characters.

Asuka Langley...

Once she put on the combat suit, Lily rubbed her arms, nervously speaking to Fuji, "Fuji, I’m coming in."

"Come on, hurry up."

The clump of Fuji half-knelt, undergoing partial decompression, although still bouncy, it stood a head taller than an average human.

From the outside, it resembled a moving giant puppet suit from an amusement park.

Fuji, who had finished decompressing, had a mouth on her back that unfurled, with pale blue tendrils writhing like flesh buds. Each bud faintly had a mini Fuji face.

However, perhaps to avoid scaring Lily, those little faces quickly withdrew, and Lily, due to her own incompetency and poor eyesight, did not notice.

The mouth on Fuji’s back kept expanding until it formed a human-shaped recess, fitting Lily’s figure perfectly.

Lily made mental preparations once again, then stepped forward, wearing this ’puppet suit’ made of Fuji.

Their plan was to use integration to handle the Human Emperor Banner, allowing Lily to contact it.

Theoretically, this method was quite feasible; however, there were some minor errors in the details.

Such as Fuji’s lack of awareness of her own creepiness.

While Lily was getting used to being inside Fuji and handling the operation, Fuji’s face suddenly appeared inside, right in front of Lily.

"How is it? Is it comfortable inside me?"

It was a cute little face with a face, and that face had more faces on it.

Looking at this suddenly appearing adorable little face, Lily froze for a long while before bursting into tears. She ran helter-skelter, eventually ’wearing’ Fuji and crashing into the wall with a thud.

"Don’t scare me, if you do it again, I’m not playing anymore..."

Lily really wanted to cry, she just wanted to go home.

She lay on the ground for a while. Once Fuji promised that there would be no more sudden appearances of tendrils, features like eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and limbs, or slime, Lily climbed back up.

Wearing Fuji, she activated the array in the room. With the machine’s shifts, a giant magical artifact appeared in the room.

It was the Jade Book Tower, but only the first layer, and quite rudimentary at that, resembling a rough unfinished building, lacking any artifact spirit within.

The first-layer raw space of the Jade Book Tower began to operate...
