Something that surprised Li Ye happened.

Just when he learned that he was about to set off for on-site investigations in several market towns including Dongyan, Zhao He, who had not sent any news, unexpectedly had someone bring back a thick pile of Jade Scrolls.

"What is this?"

Li Ye looked at Zhao He, who had grown into a tall young man over the years.

Time had left no trace on him, but Zhao He had transformed from a somewhat shy boy into a tall young man, and even his skin had become quite dark.

For Li Ye, the power of subordinate forces that was almost useless had nurtured Zhao He to speak sparingly, granting him an unspeakable authority.

Only when he faced Li Ye would he laugh heartily.

"Master."

"These were all personally investigated by my subordinates and me when conducting business, with the cooperation of True Man from the marketplace."

"All relevant data is here."

After hearing this, Li Ye was silent for a while.

He moved his fingers slightly, and the Emotion Song wound around all the Jade Scrolls, analyzing and summarizing all the content inside...

It indeed turned out to be data from several marketplaces including Dongyan.

Moreover, the content was extremely detailed, such as the local cultivators' lives, data on soil and water provided by stationed True Man, and various other information.

With this information, Li Ye didn't need to personally take action. Just a glance would reveal the crux of the problem in Dongyan marketplace.

"The water has issues."

"It is likely that there were some minor oversights in the initial application of the Earth Emotions Technique, causing the entire marketplace's Earth Vein circulation to center around Dongyan Lake."

"As a result, the crops that could grow on the land would decrease."

In this period of running around, Li Ye had accumulated a great deal of experience, especially with the Emotion Song, this Divine Technique effortlessly detected some disharmony between the water flow and the earth.

Like slight noise interrupting an otherwise smooth melody.

"Let's do this."

Li Ye thought for a moment and came up with a plan.

"I will create some interesting little beings."

"But it will take time."

"In the meantime, tell me about your experiences outside."

As he spoke, Bamboo Wood Ants had already spontaneously made chairs so Zhao He could sit down.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhao He sat down.

He recounted the events of this period in detail, bit by bit.

Actually, it was simple yet complex.

With the Jade Talisman Li Ye gave him, he could move unimpeded wherever he went; the name of True Man Lingye was incredibly useful, not just opening convenient doors for him, but breaking down even walls.

But along with it came all kinds of flattery, splendor, and people wanting to work under him.

The goods he transported were directly given by the Spiritual Mechanism Vine from the Cave Mansion, genuinely top-notch outside.

Some chambers of commerce and forces were eager to buy more, directly offering Spirit Stones was considered benevolent. More would offer him beautiful women, cultivation techniques, treasures...

Those seeking his support were diverse and varied.

Many were attracted by the name of True Man Lingye.

To handle these Zhao He often went sleepless nights, but fortunately, with Li Ye's name, even if he refused favors, no one dared show disrespect.

Upon realizing this, he started distancing himself from the flatterers gradually and was selective with the subordinates he accepted, even returning to Heavenly River City to recruit a batch of former residents of Dongcang Town.

By now, the Spirit Leaf Chamber of Commerce had thoroughly stabilized, not only conducting business in a small region in the Northern Domain, but Zhao He was also gradually expanding into the Eastern Domain.

Silently, Li Ye listened to Zhao He recount all the things from the past ten-plus years, and his thought became increasingly evident.

This kid is impressive.

Though I gave him a Jade Talisman, if he didn't have the ability, it would be like trying to plaster mud on a wall.

After contemplating for a moment, he suddenly said, "Originally, Senior Sister Liu forcibly placed you with me, which I understood.

But in any case, the past is like smoke, dispersed.

Today, would you be willing to call me Master?"

This sentence left Zhao He stunned on the spot.

Master?

True Man Lingye wants to accept him as a disciple!?

Li Ye looked at the stunned Zhao He with a gentle smile on his face—suddenly realizing he needed someone to help, someone completely belonging to his own force to assist him.

Someone who could solve many things that didn't require his personal attention, but were very tedious and complicated.

Honestly speaking, Zhao He's aptitude wasn't good.

But he showed great loyalty to Li Ye, as evidenced by the events of these years.

So Li Ye was willing to give him such an opportunity.

"Master!"

How clever is Zhao He?

He immediately knelt and kowtowed, his tone firm and resonant, "Disciple pays respects to Master!"

"Hmm."

Actually, they had long been familiar, and Li Ye extended a hand, an overwhelming force lifting Zhao He up.

Then Li Ye said, "In the Eastern Domain, there is the Dharma Method of Celestial Vein Body Forging. With my help, reaching the Golden Core stage shouldn't be a problem.

If you truly cannot advance to the Nascent Soul stage and wish to remain in this world, I'll confer you, making you into a deity."

His voice was very calm.

In his words, even Zhao He's lifespan was somewhat arranged.

This is one advantage of the Four Seasons Sect, issues regarding lifespan were never troublesome; even if one couldn't progress to the Nascent Soul stage, the path of the Divine Path was still an option.

Of course, only a Nascent Soul could be conferred.

But, Nascent Soul is merely that. Li Ye never doubted whether he could advance.

Zhao He was deeply moved.

But before he could say anything, Li Ye produced a pile of treasures. These treasures were given to Li Ye by senior brothers and sisters during leisure time, including a complete set of magical treasures, body refining pills, and some single-use talismans.
