But the White Rat was startled, it really jumped up from the chair, using its tail to push off, and with a smile on its face, said: "True Man Lingye, I am not worthy of being called senior brother!"
"What’s the harm?" Li Ye was indifferent, to him nas and titles were inconsequential, when had he ever needed to declare his status through a title?
This instantly moved Senior Brother Shu.
In fact, before he ca, he had been a bit worried, after all, Li Ye’s rise and reputation were like climbing the celestial ladder all the way to the top, did he really still rember him as a "senior brother"?
Now seeing that Li Ye was still Li Ye.
Li Ye’s aura had even beco more serene, making him feel an involuntary impulse to get closer.
Yet just as he approached wanting to say sothing—
"Chirp!"
A sharp cry echoed from the void.
A gleaming Brocade Rat jumped out, barking angrily at him, startling him greatly.
Oh dear.
This was a Brocade Rat!
Their tribe of Mineral-seeking Spirit Rats had the bloodline of Brocade Rats, which allowed them to walk freely within the earth, searching for various minerals.
From where did True Man Lingye find such a pure-blooded Brocade Rat?
The Brocade Rat blocked his steps, then contently burrowed back into its nest within the void, a small movable space that followed Li Ye wherever he went.
"Did it scare you?"
Li Ye was a bit apologetic, though this guy was esteed as a Brocade Rat, it couldn’t really make the cut in front of the other spirit beasts in his cave mansion.
As a result, it beca sowhat anxious.
Really afraid that any more spirit beasts would take away the limited affection it had.
"No problem at all!"
Senior Brother Shu didn’t dare say anything.
The kind of bloodline suppression was like a dog seeing a stick.
He understood why Li Ye and the others ca, and imdiately invited: "True Man Lingye, honored guests, please follow !"
Very soon.
They arrived at the Earth Vein.
This ti, the arrays and the Earth Vein at Dongcang Marketplace were completely the handiwork of the Four Seasons Sect, naturally without the previous Mo Family’s neat cogwheels and various chanical operations.
Instead, it was a delicately vibrant array pattern of flora and vine, with vitality and spirit essence flowing like life through the deep soil, enveloping the willow-branch-like Earth Vein.
A warm sheen silently seeped into every grain of soil, and through the operation of the array, gradually redistributed to all places, slowly and without causing any ergency reaction to transform the land.
Li Ye saw instantly that this Earth Vein must have been crafted by the sect.
Thanks to the Four Seasons Sect’s enduring philosophy of seeking mystical thods and the great path from heaven and earth, these arrays didn’t seem out of place in the soil, but rather very harmonious, as if they were ant to be.
Standing atop the jade platform overlooking below.
It didn’t feel like they had co into the earth, but rather placed amid an exceptionally elegant array surrounding them, even breathing felt extraordinarily smooth.
"True Man, honored guests."
"The Earthquake Worms brought here this ti are all fully grown."
"You need to forcibly drag them into the array, without concern for bloodshed or damage, it’s necessary—only through feeling pain and shedding blood can they better integrate with this place."
Senior Brother Shu ran to an array in the distance and loudly announced: "Let know when you’re ready!"
"We’ve been ready for a while."
The cultivators of the Spirit Refining Sect were rubbing their hands eagerly, and even cast a challenging glance at Wei Qingye—in terms of strength, sword cultivators indeed couldn’t match up by any ans.
Wei Qingye had nothing to say.
"Then I’ll release them!"
Senior Brother Shu pressed a light seal within the array.
The next mont—
A full nine gigantic Earthquake Worms, as big as mountains, suddenly appeared.
Having been trapped here for a while, they were quite irritable, and now that they could finally touch the earth, they naturally wanted to burrow into the deep soil as soon as possible.
It was then that the body cultivators leaped down.
As they landed, even the earth trembled a bit.
Their armor shimred with so strange runic light, and with each breath, their bodies began to enlarge, not quite turning into giants, but at least big enough to grab the tails of the Earthquake Worms.
There were no roars or shouts for communication, just a look in the eyes, and they began to exert themselves, forcefully dragging the bodies of those Earthquake Worms trying to burrow underground into the array.
The poor Earthquake Worms, pulled with brute force, emitted so extrely fine and sharp cries, causing the surrounding land to shake as if earthquakes were occurring, and their blood continued to drip down.
All the droplets of blood on the ground would sprout so "mineral flowers," whose roots penetrated the earth deeply and with the operation of the Earth Vein and the array, were chaotically transported to different places.
Li Ye looked from above, and incredibly, felt that the Earthquake Worms seed a bit... pleased?
Yes.
Even though they were struggling and attacking and shrieking, they seed almost joyful, with a couple of them feeling "ecstatic" and "eager."
Clearly, they were imrsed in the enjoynt of wrestling with the Spirit Refining Sect cultivators and shedding their blood—the sharp rocks, the solid earth, all sprouted different mineral flowers.
Li Ye asked Senior Brother Shu:
"Senior Brother Shu, if we used arrays to guide them, wouldn’t it have the sa effect as now?"
Senior Brother Shu nodded: "Exactly, our Four Seasons Sect certainly has ways to guide them here, but nothing is as invigorating as real grappling.
Unfortunately, there are too few body refiners in our sect, and we can only rely on external sects for sothing like this, and junior brother, did you see the way they transform?
This is the Heaven and Earth Great Divine Techniques brought by the ancestor of the Spirit Refining Sect from the Upper Realm! It’s exclusive to the Spirit Refining Sect!
It’s truly impressive!"
From his tone, it was obvious how envious Senior Brother Shu was of their towering bodies.
Heaven and Earth?
Speaking of which, the "Nine Songs" I practice can be considered an Upper Realm Divine Technique, but only if it’s the complete "Nine Songs."
Thinking of the Nine Songs, Li Ye thought of building houses lately, so do these Earthquake Worms need houses?
He knew this idea was odd.
But he attempted to use his Emotion Song to communicate with the Earthquake Worms.
It couldn’t be called communication, just conveying a thought—
Need a house?
He was rely trying his luck, and it didn’t matter if it didn’t work out.
Unexpectedly, the Earthquake Worms suddenly halted, their dark eyes fixed on Li Ye, filled with longing.
They even stopped moving.
"..."
Li Ye felt waves of energy from the earth.
Knowing that this earth was secured by his Earth Emotions Technique, aning the earth could transmit emotions to him anyti—now it was the Earthquake Worms driving the longing intent.
Li Ye imdiately sensed sothing was amiss.
Yet an audacious idea sprang to mind.
He had been sowhat spoiled by the elders, being "reckless," so when he acted out, he aid for big actions.
He glanced at Senior Brother Shu, and stated gravely: "Senior Brother, how much control do you have here, I now need to take over entirely."
Senior Brother Shu was at first surprised, then pondered, finally decisively:
"Alright."
Without delay.
He imdiately handed over all his Earth Vein permissions to Li Ye, then cupped his hands: "Regardless of success or failure, True Man must take along!"
This guy was truly as cunning as a fox.
Since the ergence of bold ideas, Li Ye had never been in trouble; often, each flash of inspiration brought about remarkable inventions.
It was a wise move to latch onto Li Ye’s coattails at the right ti.
Li Ye gave Senior Brother Shu a few more looks, but said nothing, rely sat cross-legged, with Wei Qingye naturally standing guard behind him.
This place’s Earth Vein was already organized by him, taking over the permissions was very simple, and he completed this complex task in monts.
Then...
The entire Dongcang Marketplace shook violently.
