The master's tone was slightly serious:

"The biggest taboo when drinking alcohol is to be greedy for more."

"Drinking too much not only prevents you from savoring its beauty, but also makes you restless and overheated. You mustn't learn from your third senior brother—at least don't imitate him in drinking!"

Li Ye covered his head and obediently nodded.

He knew he had indeed drunk a bit too much.

At that moment, the third senior brother also slowly woke up and sighed softly, "Master, you must be heartbroken because I and our little junior drank your wine, isn't it?"

"..."

"Hmph, nonsense."

The master shook his sleeves, his expression immediately serious: "Don't wander around all the time. The matter of Dongcang Marketplace that I mentioned to you earlier should be scheduled."

"It's just as well that your junior's Golden Core trial is set there."

Li Ye had indeed guessed it earlier.

But upon hearing it officially from his master, he felt relieved.

However, before he could inquire further, his master said again, "Not only the marketplace, but the Hungry Ghost Netherworld over there will also be giving you access."

"There will be living beings existing with Primordial Spirit or soul going to purchase various items, just consider it as a Netherworld Marketplace."

The third senior brother's eyes widened instantly.

He lamented, "There's a Netherworld Marketplace too? Master, look at me, I'm just a Golden Core, not a Nascent Soul!"

"What are you afraid of."

"This matter was discussed with the deities and the sect leader senior brother, involving the destination of your eldest senior brother, don't you want to plant those Hell Path fellows into a tree?"

Slowly, the master said.

Li Ye and the third senior brother exchanged a look, Hell Path, eldest senior brother?

Could it be that the sect has found a solution?

"Don't be impatient." The master sat down beside, looking at Li Ye with a kind gaze: "We have to thank Ye. The memory of the Hell Path Guardian Envoy he imprisoned last time contains many useful pieces of information."

"Such as the environment of Hell Path and the structure of Spiritual Qi."

"Within our sect, there is a Spirit Treasure, which can search the Earth Vein based on the environment and Spiritual Qi input."

"With the positioning done by the deities and the information provided by a certain Fox Race, it seems the entrance to the first level should be near Dongcang Town."

"When you go this time, it looks like you might have to face the cultivators of Hell Path, as Dongcang Town has become a frontier in the Eastern Domain."

Upon hearing this, both Li Ye and the third senior brother knew the difficulty ahead; Dongcang Town itself was challenging to restore, and with the Hell Path eyeing it, it would certainly be troublesome.

In fact, the construction of the Dongcang Marketplace could be considered as an outpost, officially stepping into the realm of Hell.

The third senior brother was eager: "So, master, are you planning to fill up their rat holes bit by bit?"

"Yes."

"These fellows, like busy mice, scurry around filling their rat holes, but we will dig them up as if it's autumn and we are unearthing mouse burrows."

"The array in the Eastern Domain will remain active; even the Divinity Transformation stage can't leave the Eastern Domain."

While saying this, the master's eyes showed a clear sign of killing intent.

Mice should sneakily stay in their holes, but now they even covet and destroy the seedlings we've painstakingly cultivated, which is absolutely intolerable.

Li Ye felt a bit puzzled and didn't hide his curiosity: "Master, since the Hell Path has done all sorts of evil, why didn't we join forces with other sects to eliminate them earlier?"

"With our combined strength with other sects, eliminating the Hell Path should be a breeze, right?"

After advancing to Golden Core, he had access to more sect secrets.

For example, the treasure mentioned by the master earlier records all features of the Earth Vein, nearly able to search the entire world.

Plus, combined with other sects' divination or assistance, the Hell Path should have been unable to hide for so many years, right?

"This matter actually involves maintaining the Yin Yang balance."

"Removing this path would surely lead to another Demon Sect, that's why we've been raising it, waiting for the right time to pluck out the tumor. Now seems to be the right time."

Li Ye nodded at this: "I see."

Excitingly, he rubbed his hands: "Then, when do we set off?"

"What's the hurry." The third senior brother looked at Li Ye with a gaze of pity and patted his shoulder: "Remember when you were learning Xiguang Bell and Shu Midie, how you learned the changes through day and night, rain and snow, wind and frost, the transformation of the Four Seasons?"

How could Li Ye forget?

Shu Midie and Xiguang Bell were among the highest Secret Techniques of the sect in the "Four Seasons Music Canon". The complete "Four Seasons Music Canon" covers the changes through the four seasons, rain and snow, wind and frost... the changing celestial phenomena.

Called a music canon, it's more like a Divine Technique or Array that influences heaven and earth, used by Four Seasons Sect cultivators to regulate the four seasons in areas with chaotic seasonal changes.

"Am I going to learn such a Divine Technique?"

He immediately understood the third senior brother's meaning and realized that the technique would likely be needed in Dongcang Town, otherwise, the third senior brother wouldn't have mentioned it intentionally.

"Yes." His master nodded: "You've already advanced to Golden Core, there are indeed some things you must learn with me now."

True Man Suoxing stood up and drew his two fingers in front of him—

"Sizzle!"

Space tore open like fabric, surrounded by starlight in the cracks.

He stepped into it.

The third senior brother nodded to Li Ye, watching his little junior enter inside, and sighed lightly:

"I need to prepare as well."

...

On the other side.

Li Ye had already stepped into a magical grotto heaven.

The environment here was very peculiar, where rain, snow, wind, frost, and lightning coexist harmoniously, and even the cycle of the four seasons changes continuously.

He could even see snowflakes gently falling in the scorching summer sunlight and frosty mist fluttering leisurely amidst the thunder and lightning.

Chaotic.

Extremely chaotic.

This chaotic Spiritual Qi environment made Li Ye feel very uncomfortable.

A normal setting with distinct seasons and stable celestial phenomena is the ideal living environment for the Human Race; an occurrence like a summer storm feels like the world is on the brink of destruction.

Seeing Li Ye's expression, the master smiled:

"This is the land first cultivated by the ancestor."

"The world started with basic seasonal and celestial transformations, but it was extremely chaotic. The ancestor devised a solution and crafted many magical artifacts to clarify the cycle of the seasons."

"The magical artifacts she created are recorded in the 'Four Seasons Music Canon,' totaling thirteen kinds."

The True Man casually beckoned.

Immediately, a golden bell and a silver flute fell into his hand, and he said, "These are the original entities of the Xiguang Bell and Shu Midie Divine Techniques."

After Li Ye examined them curiously for a while.

He beckoned again.

This time, a guqin and a xiao appeared.

The master directly threw the two musical instruments to Li Ye:

"Here, these represent the Divine Technique for rain and snow."

"Xiangyun Zither and Chenghan Xiao."

"Learn the rain and snow first, then the rest will be easier."

After saying that, he sat casually somewhere and watched Li Ye, who was holding the two magical artifacts, looking slightly bewildered.

"Wait, aren't you giving me the Divine Power Skill?"

Li Ye stared at the two musical instruments in his arms; during previous learnings, at least there were learning methods provided, but not now.

"Hmm?" The master asked puzzlingly: "You've reached Golden Core, disciple, you shouldn't be confined by methods. You should follow your path—what the rain and snow look like in your heart, just play and perform them."

"..."

Now Li Ye knew the master wasn't joking; he truly wanted him to comprehend them using these musical instruments on his own.

Though slightly helpless, he soon focused.

After pondering for a moment, he placed the guqin on the summoned rack, trying to gently pluck the strings.

Fortunately, he had learned some basic knowledge before, otherwise, he would have been clueless, starting from scratch.

"Drip drop."

The instant his fingers stroked the strings.

A sound of water droplets falling came from the guqin, not the typical sound of a guqin.

"Hmm?"

"Could it be like this..."

Li Ye squinted his eyes and quickly strummed with his fingers.

The sound of water droplets rapidly gathered into a curtain of rain, pattering down, and in the area around half an acre beside him, it truly started to rain.

The raindrops were clear and bright, carrying five-colored brilliance.
