"Ultimately, this matter was handled incorrectly by them."

Li Ye said indifferently, "No worries."

He turned to Li Yuan, this time speaking directly, "Taoist Friend Li, the Nascent Soul's Evil Qi and the Resentment Qi of many cultivators are swirling around you.

It seems like it's about to erupt soon."

As soon as the words were spoken.

Suddenly, fierce black flames ignited on Li Yuan, with uncontrollable Resentment and Evil Qi in those flames. Li Yuan's previously calm demeanor instantly twisted his features, and sweat poured down like raindrops.

He suppressed the burning of Resentment and Evil Qi, gritting his teeth without a word despite his clothes being drenched and risking being burned to ashes.

This left everyone dumbfounded.

"Quick, return to the sect!"

"Please summon Ancestor Jianmu, quickly invite him to open the Hongqiao!"

"I have a treasure that can suppress the Evil Qi..."

Previously, they might have seemed at odds, but faced with such a situation, they immediately sought solutions.

"Don't panic."

Li Ye, having foreseen this, prepared by holding the Sun and Moon Ring in his hand, a glimmer flashed from one corner of the Eight Trigrams Celestial Plate, followed by a "chirp" sound.

A plump beaver dressed in a Taoist robe suddenly appeared.

Having cultivated at Uncle Master Baishi's place recently, who knows what hobby it awoke? Its robe was adorned with gold and jade, decorated with various spiritual materials that shimmered in the sunlight.

It held a lotus lamp akin to fine jade.

As the flame burned, it directly suppressed Li Yuan's boiling Resentment and Evil Qi, melting the fire away in the radiant and benevolent glow of the Treasure Lotus.

Though the beaver couldn't fully control the Treasure Lotus Lamp, it managed to suppress it successfully.

The few individuals who were originally surprised became even more shocked, unaware of the Treasure Lotus Lamp's existence. They had heard rumors before, but hadn't seen it themselves.

Now seeing it firsthand, it truly was remarkable.

It was capable of suppressing the Resentment Qi emanating from the Enlightened Race.

"Chirp chirp!"

The beaver cupped its fists towards Li Ye and then took the Eight Trigrams Celestial Plate, swaggering off— it had much studying to do, as the True Man treated it particularly well and promised to equip each of its siblings with a Taoist robe if it learned all the lessons.

Its siblings were studying diligently over there.

As the big brother, it had to strive for benefits for its siblings.

Its swaggering departure left Li Ye feeling somewhat melancholic and envious.

The beaver was no longer revolving around him, even if he knew it was for the best, he couldn't help feeling a bit melancholic and gratified.

It's like watching a child grow up.

But things should proceed this way.

He also wondered if he should invite more teachers to teach them if the beavers were so keen on learning.

While he was lost in thoughts again, Li Yuan had already suppressed the Resentment Qi, striding over to him, cupped his fists, and said:

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Li."

"Previously, you warned me, but I didn't take it seriously, yet it turns out Taoist Friend saved me once."

Li Yuan felt quite ashamed.

Not heeding advice really isn't a good thing; he always thought he could suppress it, yet he needed help from friends—it's a display of incompetence.

"Taoist Friend, your words are rather distancing."

Li Ye spoke sternly, "Not to mention that Taoist Friend fought the Nascent Soul for our Four Seasons Sect; moreover, I am capable of helping, how could I stand by and do nothing?

All of you Taoist Friends agreed to assist my brother and me in constructing the marketplace; while there are mutual considerations and exchanges of interests, I still appreciate it."

His gaze was clear, demeanor calm.

These direct words are good.

After all, everyone knew.

His direct words made several Mountain and Sea Divine Beasts feel embarrassed and touched; no wonder True Man Lingye was always graciously treated, such honesty truly made people feel comfortable.

"Taoist Friend Lingye, I'll take care of the array formation matter."

"I, though unskilled, can manage some harvest magic."

"Then, I'll handle the miscellaneous tasks like stone cutting and people networking together with Taoist Friend Ying and Taoist Friend Li."

Suddenly, relationships became closer.

Chen Mo felt his little disciple brother might be deliberately hiding his abilities, as his words were not only timely but effective.

Li Ye indeed hadn't thought so much.

He was no longer concerned about gains and losses; among sect members, mutual assistance is expected, so he acted when needed.

Therefore, he just nodded calmly and turned to look at the Dongcang Town covered in a veil of rain, after a few glances, he asked Yang Sha:

"Previously, what crops did Dongcang Town rely on for survival?"

Yang Sha quickly replied, "Previously, we cultivated Jade Fragrant Melons; these crops not only had ample juice, but the seeds were as delicious as rice. It's thanks to these Jade Fragrant Melons that our families lived here across generations."

"Oh."

Li Ye quickly recalled the so-called Jade Fragrant Melons— round melons sculpted like fine jade that could store spiritual water and had edible seeds.

These were common crops when the Four Seasons Sect opened up the wildlands.

Given previous trials proving successful large-scale cultivation of Jade Fragrant Melons here, he decided to cultivate special Jade Fragrant Melons as the pillar industry for this place.

Coincidentally, the Jade Dragon Spirit Vein's attribute leaned towards the Water Element, producing numerous water flows, ideal for cultivating Jade Fragrant Melons.

With this thought, he made a decision, telling Yang Sha:

"Reluctance to leave one's homeland—stay here in the future."

"Once those reincarnated souls mature, I will bring them here to live under your care."

Yang Sha, having endured dramatic changes, had never experienced such kindness, causing his once lifeless heart to beat excitedly.

But lacking eloquence, he could only nod heavily, "Rest assured, even if it means dying, I will take care of this place!"

Li Ye gave him a curious glance, "Why would I want you to die? This is the domain of the Four Seasons Sect; it's a marketplace built by my brother, me, and Taoist Friends together.

No one will dare to offend again; if truly foolhardy individuals appear, I'll plant them into the trees!

We can feast on fruits imbued with blood and spiritual power next year!"

Yang Sha felt more grateful.

His eyes turned red, yet he couldn't utter a single word.

"..."

Li Ye could roughly guess the reason seeing him like this; surprisingly, stating the truth earned favor, though he said nothing further—the words had reached an optimal point.

He truly feared the other might overthink things.

Additionally, he felt something really important had slipped his mind.

"What is it?"

Just then, a small hole suddenly appeared in front of him, and a foolish-looking brocade rat poked its head out, gesturing using a slightly sharp "chirp" sound.

Then it scrabbled out a handful of Tribulation Ash.

"That's right!"

Li Ye clapped his hands, "There's still unused Tribulation Ash here!"

Previously used only the Tribulation Ash above ground, there was abundant Tribulation Ash refined from the Hell Path underground; with their help, gaining Spirit Stones would speed up the construction of this place.

"Not bad."

Feeling satisfied, he reached out to the brocade rat, skillfully rubbing its little head; borrowed spiritual power from Jianmu instantly made the brocade rat close its eyes in enjoyment.

The chain of five colors gradually formed around its body, ultimately converging at its forehead to become a radiant Five-Colored Gemstone.

The little creature curiously touched it with its paws, then began nibbling and tugging at the surrounding space with its large front teeth and paws.

The seemingly intangible space easily breached.

It forcefully opened a space portal big enough for a person to pass through.

Inside was clearly visible— a cave within a space rift, not only covered thickly with Tribulation Ash but also...

A golden Bronze Cauldron.

It burned with Tribulation Fire, scattering Tribulation Ash.

Seemingly continually producing Tribulation Ash.
