Zhang Ze leaned on the railing and watched for a while, struggling to resist blurting out "wild animal park."
The Beast Taming Sect occupies a very large area, indeed very large.
It really resembles a zoo.
The central location of the Beast Taming Sect is Cang Mountain, with the foot of Cang Mountain housing a vast marsh. Tributaries divide the surrounding ring area into eight sectors.
Each sector's geography is reshaped with Taoist techniques, separating the Gobi Desert from the Diannan Rainforest by only a stream. At the center of each sector stands a towering high tower, and various buildings within each sector are built around the tower.
Short-distance teleportation arrays connect the towers.
Zhang Ze watched for a long time before replying objectively.
"Yes, I think so too." Li Wenzhou stood beside Zhang Ze with hands behind his back, "And all of this is thanks to the village; without the village, there would be no Li Family of the Beast Taming Sect today."
Seeing that Li Wenzhou had brought up important matters, Zhang Ze also spoke seriously, "About the village..."
Li Wenzhou waved his hand, "I already know everything."
"Your family's Li woke up early and has informed me of the happenings within the Secret Realm. These are the village's wishes, and I have no objections."
"I've heard from Yueqi and your Sect Leader about your matters and Li's identity, and I have a request." Li Wenzhou said.
"Old Sect Leader, please don't overstate it. If you want me to do something, just say it." Zhang Ze said.
"One thing is clear, the Li Family never forgets gratitude." Li Wenzhou turned and looked at Zhang Ze seriously.
Looking at Old Mr. Li, Zhang Ze somewhat understood why Tang and their Sect Leader couldn't get along with him.
Compared to their Sect Leader's easygoing nature and Tang's irreverent demeanor, this old gentleman was a bit too serious.
Thinking thus, Li Yueqi's temperament was much like her grandfather, while Li Jue's character somewhat resembled his dad and the Beast Taming Sect's founding ancestor Li Heng.
Pulling his scattered thoughts back, Zhang Ze also became serious.
"Old Sect Leader, please speak."
"Please bring the village back to life."
Upon hearing this request, Zhang Ze first froze, then felt awkward, "This... but the village is already..."
He couldn't help but feel awkward; though it was the village's wish, it was Zhang Ze who had acted, and the village has already dissipated in the spring of Cang Mountain.
To ask him now to revive the village seemed a bit too difficult.
Li Wenzhou understood his meaning, "I don't intend to trouble you; there is still a chance, come with me."
Whether it was Zhang Ze's passivity or for convenience, Li Wenzhou grabbed him by the collar and lifted him before stepping forward onto a plain.
This Beast Garden had no fences, and the whole grassland stretched to the horizon with only a few scattered houses for resting cultivators temporarily.
The cultivators were not present; today, Li was overseeing the grassland. And Li was gathering a group of ox-type spirit beasts to sprint around the grassland.
She stood atop a giant ox, arms crossed, draped in a red cape, looking very imposing.
"Is this alright?" Zhang Ze always felt Li was causing trouble.
"It's very alright; daily running is indeed what these Giant Luo Oxen must do. In fact, Li does it better; ordinary disciples wouldn't dare stand atop the leading ox like that."
"Li, over here!" Li Wenzhou waved to Li.
Seeing Li Wenzhou and Zhang Ze, Li immediately leapt onto the lead ox's head, whispered a few words, then left the herd and ran over excitedly.
During the few days Zhang Ze was asleep, Li had enjoyed herself immensely at the Beast Taming Sect; she felt it was akin to paradise.
All day long she was well-fed and well-treated, and thanks to the village, she remembered some things, like how to use Dragon Qi.
These days she enjoyed the protagonist treatment at the Beast Taming Sect; as soon as the Dragon Qi appeared, Low Tier spirit beasts prostrated, and High Tier spirit beasts showed her great respect.
"Old man, what's up?" Li asked, looking up.
Mentioning the village, Li immediately took something out from the Hundred Treasures Bag hanging on her and handed it to Zhang Ze as if presenting a treasure.
Zhang Ze's eyes lit up as he took the Stone Pill offered by Li.
The Stone Pill was smooth and had faint green lines that appeared and disappeared.
