"Master?"

Li Ye lowered the Emotion Song and exclaimed in surprise.

The cultivator in front of him, dressed in a white Taoist robe and as gentle as jade, was clearly his Nascent Soul-level master.

"You played it beautifully." True Man Su Xing smiled at Li Ye, leaning casually on a mound of earth, his gaze piercing as he looked at the giant deer formed by Yuan Yan in the distance.

"Yuansheng Deer Clan."

"This clan actually has some connections with our Four Seasons Sect."

The True Man casually tossed a yellowing book towards Li Ye, indicating for him to take a look.

The book's content was sparse.

It's merely a simple story.

It tells the tale of a mountain goddess, Mountain Spirit, who eagerly awaits a meeting with her lover, but the lover never arrives, leaving the goddess lamenting.

Isn't this... the Nine Songs Mountain Ghost chapter?

He vaguely remembered this story.

"This is a unique inheritance of our sect," True Man Su Xing said. "The Nine Songs, each chapter represents the legacy of a great power from the past."

"But these inheritances were not passed down by the gods within the Nine Songs; rather, they were created by one of our Four Seasons Sect's founders based on their divine techniques."

"The Emotion Song is one of them, specially crafted by our sect's founder to help Mountain Spirit release her emotional burdens."

"Back then, the founder had a Yuansheng Deer by their side, who probably heard many Emotion Songs."

"Mountain Spirit's legacy lies in understanding the emotions of all things and controlling the changes of celestial phenomena like the gathering and dispersing of clouds, the rising of the wind, and the falling of rain. I want to pass this legacy on to you."

Seeing Li Ye's eyes light up instantly, the True Man paused deliberately:

"Unfortunately, the deeper layer of this legacy can only be learned once you reach the Golden Core."

"I heard you are going to the Eastern Domain Marketplace this time. There's our sect's center of celestial phenomena control array there, for the entire Eastern Domain.

I have a task for you. That marketplace, owing to its proximity to the East Pole Yang Sea, experiences unpredictable celestial phenomena.

There's a position there for a Cloud Master, and I want you to experience it, ensuring favorable weather in the Eastern Domain Marketplace for a month.

The reward would be allowing you to enjoy a longer stay there.

If anyone bullies you, feel free to fight back if they're below the Golden Core level. If they're above, call for your Uncle Master, and if necessary, call for your master to save you.

Perhaps I might just show up there, who's to say?

The sea in that area is quite fascinating."

Having said that, he waved Li Ye off: "Off you go, off you go. I have some words to exchange with this little friend here, no need to worry, nothing will happen."

Li Ye trusted his master, but couldn't help saying, "Taoist Friend Yuanyan is a friend of your disciple, so he is your junior, please don't make things difficult for him!"

True Man Su Xing showed an indescribable expression, pointing towards a spatial portal that had opened at an unknown time: "Quickly, go!"

"Ah!"

Li Ye hurriedly stepped into the portal, his figure disappearing without a trace.

True Man Su Xing remained behind, shaking his head with a smile, looking at the giant deer that had already stood up: "The reincarnation method of the Yuansheng Deer Clan.

Friend, do you still wish to continue endless reincarnations within my Four Seasons Sect, lingering in the world by inhabiting the bodies of juniors?"

He reached for a luminescent star-lit ruler, tapping it lightly within his palm.

What answered him were the wildly growing vines surrounding them.

Centered on that giant deer, the deep green vines writhed like giant serpents, winding their way towards True Man Su Xing.

...

"I have a lingering feeling that something was off just now."

By this moment, Li Ye had already set foot within the space array leading to the Eastern Domain Marketplace.

Moments earlier, as he left, it seemed like there was another presence apart from him, his master, and Yuan Yan in that space.

It was peculiar.

While he was in it, he didn't have that feeling, but upon leaving, it suddenly emerged.

"Truly strange."

Being intent on returning was now too late.

The slight dizziness from the spatial teleportation of the array had already appeared and rapidly faded, the jade walls around him gradually descending.

He was already standing in the Four Seasons Tower of the Eastern Domain Marketplace.

The cultivators stationed here had long been waiting outside, hurrying forward to welcome him:

"Junior Brother Li!"

This was a female cultivator with a rather heroic look, her exposed skin was of a healthy wheat color, her height even taller than Li Ye's.

"Senior Sister Gu."

Li Ye smiled warmly.

Before coming, he had familiarized himself with the situation here.

The Eastern Domain Marketplace was located next to the East Pole Yang Sea, far more important than places like the Huiya Marketplace, with an expanse of over twenty thousand hectares.

Inside, there were space secret realms jointly created by the Mo Family and the Four Seasons Sect.

Frequently, there were cultivators from outside sects coming here to procure spiritual objects from the sea, not to mention the presence of the Merfolk there.

Hence, the stationed cultivators boasted of those at Nascent Soul levels. Though that Nascent Soul typically didn't intervene with matters here, mainly overseeing, with three Golden Core and dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators managing the daily affairs.

The Senior Sister Gu in front of him was one of the stationed Foundation Establishment cultivators here.

"Junior Brother is here to see that young cultivator surnamed Jiang, isn't he?"

Senior Sister Gu led Li Ye outside while introducing the cultivator's situation:

"He is a common loose cultivator without family, who came here alone, though he seems to carry a tinge of Spirit Race bloodline."

"Before I noticed him, he frequently visited a store run by the Blood Spirit Sect that specializes in buying and selling various blood types, selling his blood there."

"Here, this is the information from the Blood Spirit Sect's cultivator."

She handed a jade scroll and a small bottle to Li Ye, the former being the information, the latter... a small bottle containing about one tael of viscous blood.

Li Ye frowned.
