Chapter 200 First Arrival in Dongcang Town

The rain curtain changed with the sound of the piano.

Soothing, rapid, violent...

It was only then that Li Ye realized that this thing didn't require him to know how to play the zither at all; it was purely based on his understanding of "rain".

Simply recall the rain you've seen in your mind, and the music will play naturally.

For Li Ye, rain, this kind of weather change, brought more tranquility and relaxation.

Even though his memories of the time travel were not so clear, he could still recall the joy of sleeping soundly in his room on a rainy day.

The pouring rain is like isolating the world—or rather, bringing you to another world, a world where you can safely escape worldly troubles, listen to the patter of rain, and enjoy the cool weather as you fall asleep.

The most unique aspect of the "Four Seasons Music Compendium" is that all the music within it changes according to the cultivator's state of mind and insights. Therefore, the music played by Li Ye naturally changed as well.

The rain continued to pour down, but a strange silver radiance quietly appeared within it. With each drop of rain, a silver trace was left in the void.

"what."

"So that's the kind of realization I've come up with."

Master Su Xing narrowed his eyes in confusion, feeling utterly perplexed.

There are quite a few cultivators in the sect who study the Xiangyun Qin, after all, rainfall is still quite important.

For most ordinary people, rain means disaster—the inability to go out to work and make a living; a blessing—the ability to irrigate the land and nurture new life; and a rare moment of rest with their wives, children, and a warm bed.

However, rain is a beneficial thing for cultivators. After all, even a Qi Refining cultivator can be fearless of storms. So why does Li Ye's understanding of rain lean towards a "comfortable space"?

While the real person was puzzled, the pattering raindrops in the distance had officially gathered to form a space, and silver light shimmered in the five-colored water curtain, vaguely revealing Li Ye, who was still immersed in playing the zither.

A hint of weariness appeared on Li Ye's face.

His fingers continued to caress the strings, but the weariness in his eyes deepened, and he soon fell asleep.

"Does it also have the effect of causing drowsiness?"

"These spatial powers must originate from the Jianmu tree."

"This kid knows how to enjoy himself, falling asleep to the sound of rain."

Master Su Xing didn't think much of it. Although it seemed a bit strange, there are countless methods for every person, and everyone has their own unique insights and methods.

Just like how different people planting the same seed from the same mother plant will yield different results.

Sleeping isn't a bad thing; it's extremely rare for a cultivator to get a good night's sleep.

He simply leaned against the white clouds and quietly waited for Li Ye to wake up.

As a result, Li Ye slept for a little longer this time.

One day, two days, three days...

In the end, Li Ye actually slept for thirty days before he could barely rub his eyes and stretch, which made him even more amazed.

If he wasn't mistaken, Li Ye seemed somewhat reluctant when he woke up, as if he were a child who didn't want to open his eyes.

Just when he thought Li Ye was about to fall asleep again, the rain around Li Ye suddenly stopped and he inexplicably became energetic again.

“...Disciple.”

"Your insight is quite rare. Why is that?"

The real person couldn't help but ask curiously, "It's fine if you want to sleep in the rain, but what's the meaning of looking sleepy? Why are you suddenly so energetic?"

Uh……

Li Ye was slightly embarrassed.

What else can I say?

It is said that when he should have woken up, he had the idea of ​​staying in bed and was unwilling to get up no matter what, so he indulged himself and slept for a little while longer.

But then I suddenly remembered that I had important things to do, so I forced myself to wake up, and as the rain stopped, I felt refreshed.

Even he himself found it quite strange.

Others who learn Xiangyun Qin should be able to use it to nourish all things, heal or be violent, so why did he create a "space" and hide in it to sleep?

Is it really because I want to sleep?
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "It's probably because my disciple once slept at home during a heavy rain, and although a long time has passed, I still miss it."

Even the slackness of having to get up to earn spirit stones after the heavy rain was deeply buried in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the Xiangyun zither has now fulfilled the desires of my past self.

Master Su Xing pondered his answer: "For us cultivators, being able to sleep is a rare pleasure. Since you have such an understanding, it means that this is the most suitable thing for you."

There's no need to worry about that.

Continue learning the Chenghan Xiao flute.

Li Ye quickly put aside his lingering thoughts. After sleeping for a while, he felt refreshed and immediately picked up the white flute and started playing.

This time, the sound of the xiao (vertical bamboo flute) was more normal.

It is desolate and remote, carrying an indescribable sense of clear and cold.

The rain curtain turned into snowflakes, dancing around Li Ye according to his thoughts. This time it was a very normal enlightenment, similar to turning the snowflakes into "Dao soldiers" to protect him.

After learning the Chenghan Xiao (a type of vertical bamboo flute), Li Ye gradually learned other musical instruments.

He was already quite talented in this area, and he often sat in the yard daydreaming when he had nothing to do.

They have their own understanding of celestial phenomena.

After studying "rain, snow, wind, and frost" and "the changing of the four seasons," Su Xingzhen finally nodded:

"You've learned very well."

"The next step is to integrate and apply this knowledge."

"Little Yezi, I hereby formally entrust you with the task of building Dongcangfang City."

He took out a scroll from his storage ring and solemnly handed it to Li Ye.

The scroll contained Li Ye's assessment task after reaching the Golden Core stage: to build the Dongcang Market and the Youjie Market on the ruins of Dongcang Town.

Li Ye can freely choose disciples and cultivators related to array construction to take with him. He must immediately head to Dongcang Town to begin the construction mission.

They grant a great deal of power, even allowing them to forcibly require any Golden Core cultivator to participate.

The scroll was made from the leaves of the Tian Sui ginkgo tree, indicating that it had been officially recorded in the ginkgo book of the Tian Sui deity.

If Li Ye fails to complete the mission this time, even True Person Su Xing cannot erase his failure.

Li Ye also knew the importance of this matter, and his expression became serious as well.

This was his first sect mission after reaching the Golden Core stage—once disciples reach the Golden Core stage, they are required to contribute to the sect, and the construction of this most basic market is considered the most important part.

The Four Seasons Sect was able to control the vast land of the Eastern Region by relying on tens of thousands of markets of different sizes.

He took a deep breath and solemnly accepted the scroll; "Disciple obeys!"

……

The news that Li Ye had accepted the sect's mission quickly spread among the Golden Core cultivators. The mission was to build a market town!
Moreover, it was the third disciple and the youngest disciple of True Person Su Xing who went together. Even if some True Persons were unaware of the true inside story of Dongcang Market, this news alone was enough to tempt them.

It should be noted that the number of markets in a sect has been fixed for over a thousand years, and no new markets have been established.

A market town represents not only a business and tax revenue in a certain area, but also the management rights over that area.

Those who participated in the construction and management of markets would be officially recorded in the book of the Heavenly Deities.

There is no "gold" more dazzling than this.

Many people were planning to shamelessly visit Li Ye to see if they could recommend their nephews or younger relatives to him.

Of course, they wouldn't be foolish enough to arrange for some worthless people to be gilded.

If it affects the construction of Dongcangfang Market, it won't just be a matter of gilding, it will be a fatal disaster.

Therefore, all the juniors selected were outstanding in all aspects; there was not a single useless one.

However, before they could actually pay their respects, the third senior brother had already publicly stated that he had already taken care of selecting helpers and directly rejected all the ideas of Golden Core cultivators to send people to him.

The people were helpless, but they had no choice but to give up.

If everyone says that, then it would be rather undignified to rush into it.

They couldn't help but wonder who this True Man Su Xing had chosen as his third disciple.
"So, senior brother, who did you choose?"

Li Ye was very curious, and he turned his gaze away from the dazzling array of treasures around him; "Even the True Immortals don't know, could it be that you chose those spirit races behind Peach Blossom Mountain?"

"Exactly."

Third Senior Brother and Li Ye walked through the treasure vault bathed in radiant light, and he said calmly, "I found Dang Kang, Xuan Gui, Bi Fang, Ying Long, and the Kai Ming Clan. They were very happy to entrust some outstanding disciples to me."

The location of Dongcang Market is somewhat special; we can't allow so many disciples of the True Immortals to participate. This market will be very important in the future.

"oh."

Li Ye nodded.

Actually, he was also struggling with the question of who to choose and who not to choose at the time.

Although social interactions are normal, he finds it difficult to make a choice, and the process of choosing takes up too much of his energy, so he might as well not choose anyone at all.

So he asked his third senior brother to take a look, but unexpectedly, the brother went directly to the Spirit Clan.

Li Ye calmly accepted the situation, looked around, and continued to examine the rare treasures.

The most important aspect of building a market town is its foundation.

Their purpose in coming to the treasure vault is to obtain a piece of Earth Spirit Soil. Using this soil as the foundation of the market, they can easily build any kind of formation in the future.

Oh?
The third senior brother couldn't help but purse his lips and say, "Junior brother, aren't you going to ask me why I chose them?"

He even wanted to show off.

"What do you mean?" Li Ye asked, puzzled. "I entrusted this matter to my senior brother because I trust his choice."

He really didn't want to worry about such trivial matters, so while his third senior brother was looking for someone, he arranged everything in the cave. Rather than wasting time socializing, he would rather enrich himself by meditating and cultivating.

"..."

"fine."

"Isn't this the Earth Spirit Soil we've been looking for?"

After glancing at Li Ye, the third senior brother changed the subject and waved to a ball of light floating in the distance.

The ball of light immediately appeared in front of the two of them.

Within the sealed white aura was an inconspicuous clod of yellow earth, weathered beyond recognition. If it were left on the roadside, only a little kid would probably pick it up and play with it.

"So this is the Earth Spirit Soil?" Li Ye was seeing the real thing for the first time and took a few more glances at it.

This thing is a type of Breath of Earth, which can maximize the power of Earth's Wish Technique.

He reached out and touched the ball of light with the jade pendant. The ball of light burst like a bubble, and the yellow soil inside fell into Li Ye's hand.

It's very light and doesn't have much of a spiritual quality.

Not only does it look like an ordinary clod of earth, but it also feels like one.

"Let's go."

"Once we get this thing, we can go to Dongcang Town."

"Fellow Daoist Ying Ying should have arrived by now."

After obtaining the Earth Spirit Soil, Li Ye and his third senior brother left together and arrived at Dongcang Town through a special teleportation array.

Although Dongcang Town is called Dongcang, it is actually adjacent to the Northern Region. If you travel about 5,000 li outside Dongcang Town, you will be in the sphere of influence of the Northern Region.

Five thousand miles is not a long distance in the cultivation world.

Because of its proximity to the Northern Region, although this area is part of the Eastern Region, its development in various aspects is handled by local families.

That's why the Hell Path turned the entire Dongcang Town into an experimental field for cultivating hungry ghosts.

After such an incident occurred, none of those families could escape. They were all taken back to the Four Seasons Sect and planted in the tree to atone for their sins. As cultivators, they had the duty to protect mortals. If they couldn't even handle such a small matter properly and didn't report it in time, their sins would be very serious.

Standing on this barren land, Li Ye gazed into the distance at a village that had completely fallen into ruin. It should have been a bustling place, covering at least a thousand acres.

But now all that remains is a scene of decay.

I don’t know if there’s anything left inside. Not only are there countless black wisps of smoke swirling in the village, but the sky is also covered with dark clouds. Despite the intense heat, white snowflakes are falling.

Li Ye's Golden Core tribulation was the change of the four seasons. He was very familiar with the flow of the four seasons. He could feel that there was no concept of the four seasons here, and even... no "life force" existed.

Both the earth and the sky seemed to have been abandoned, so desolate that not even a trace of spiritual energy could remain.

He immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

The situation here is probably much more complicated than he imagined.

The third senior brother also had a complicated expression. He had been here before and the situation was not nearly as bad as it is now. It has only been two months. Why has it become so complicated?
"Brother Chen!"

Just then, a golden dragon with wings suddenly flew in from a distance. At first, it was still far away, but in the next instant, it appeared in front of the two of them.

After a flash of golden light, it transformed into a tall, slender woman clad in scale armor and sporting dragon horns on her head.

She looked Li Ye up and down and said with a smile, "This must be True Person Ling Ye. I've heard so much about you. I am Ying Ying from the Yinglong Clan."

Li Ye returned the smile: "So it's Fellow Daoist Ying Ying. You and my senior brother are friends, so just call me by my name. There's no need to be so polite."

He just smiled habitually, but Ying Ying's eyes lit up. She looked at Li Ye for a while and felt that Li Ye seemed to have the familiar aura of the Five-Colored Stone.

She nudged her third senior brother with her elbow and asked in a low voice, "Chen Mo, does your junior brother have a Daoist partner?"

"..."

"???"

Third Senior Brother Chen Mo and Li Ye were both taken aback.
