He shook his head, his face full of helplessness.

Just at that moment, the Fox Sister, who had already changed into plain clothes and had her hair tied up, walked out from the house. At this moment, the seductive allure of the Fox Immortal on her body had completely withdrawn.

Instead, she exuded the gentle aura of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

She seemed quite pleased with this.

"Master, Senior Wei."

She was about to bow, but was stopped by Li Ye: "In the future, just call me brother."

Hearing these words, a surprised expression flashed across Fox Sister's face, and she promptly called out: "Yes, brother."

This address "brother" was not something just anyone could use.

"My husband and I are ready, please come in."

With that, Fox Sister led the two of them into the residence.

The residence was not luxuriously built; on the contrary, it was rather simple, with only some handcrafted furniture inside, but each piece was exquisitely carved.

One must know, Taoist Friend Wen was a sword cultivator.

Even though he no longer needed to pick up a sword to engage in magical duels, his precise mastery of force remained, and every piece of furniture here was crafted using his sword as a chisel.

Wei Qingye looked at those pieces of furniture.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

It seemed like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.

He merely watched Taoist Friend Wen, who was busy bringing dish after dish, and congratulated him: "Congratulations, Brother Wen, on your move to a new home, truly a joyous occasion."

"Haha."

"How long has it been, Brother Wei and Brother Li?"

Taoist Friend Wen warmly invited the two to sit down.

But after sitting down, Li Ye suddenly said, "Perhaps bring out one more chair."

Upon hearing this, the few of them were slightly taken aback, pondering.

Still, Fox Sister promptly brought over a chair.

Then.

Li Ye lightly pointed his finger in that direction, and a figure in a gray robe emerged and sat on the chair.

That person had an exceptionally handsome appearance, but there was a trace of gloom between his brows.

It was precisely the incarnation of Li Ye's senior brother.

As he appeared, he cupped his hands toward Taoist Friend Wen and said with a smile: "Congratulations on your move to a new home, Taoist Friend. I have nothing else to gift, so I'll bestow a wisp of spiritual light to your children."

As he spoke, he pointed to the two children.

The four-season spiritual light, fused from spring, summer, autumn, and winter, transformed into spring rain, summer thunder, autumn wind, and winter snow, circled them, then slowly dissipated at their foreheads.

The two children only felt a power cleansing their spirit platform, their divine sense becoming extraordinarily clear, almost as if they'd been reborn.

This was a unique refining method of the Four Seasons Sect.

If a child could have their divine sense cleansed this way, it would greatly benefit their future cultivation, especially if a member of the Demon Race could undergo this refinement, their true form would no longer be detectable.

However, this method was extremely difficult to perform, requiring the power of the four seasons' rotation that even Nascent Soul cultivators found challenging, and Li Ye had once looked into it but remained clueless.

"Thank you, uncle!" The two children immediately stood up and bowed in gratitude.

"Thank you, senior!"

Taoist Friend Wen and his wife, after a brief moment of being stunned, quickly expressed their gratitude.

"No need to thank me."

The senior brother's gaze was gentle, then he turned to Wei Qingye: "Years ago, I once sparred with the True Man of your sect, Fei Xi, and stealthily learned one of her sword techniques.

I'll pass it on to you as compensation."

Once more, he lightly pointed at Wei Qingye.

This time, autumn wind swirled around, like strands of vine, wrapping around Wei Qingye's brow, transforming into a lustrous jade stone.

It looked as if Wei Qingye was wearing a forehead ornament.

At this moment, Wei Qingye felt as if his consciousness had split into two parts, one part seated there, while the other entered a martial training platform crafted of jade stone, sparring with a figure.

Both parts of his consciousness were equally clear.

It did not affect his ability to sit there and eat.

It was truly a miraculous "multitasking."

The swordsmanship was exceptionally exquisite.

It was the heavenly stream of light sword technique that the now Nascent Soul-advanced True Man Fei Xi excelled at.

If one could learn this sword technique, what's a beating?

Wei Qingye was utterly excited, blurting out: "Thank you, senior. Could you perhaps beat me a few more times? My path of cultivation always accompanies numerous trials, this bit of pain is nothing."

Senior Brother: "…"

He showed a speechless expression, disdainfully saying: "Your trials are a blessing of Qi Fortune, every time you get injured, don't you gain greatly, or receive help from noble people?

A sharp sword is honed through trials.

I think you don't have bad luck, rather it's the Celestial Dao favoring you, thus sharpening you in this manner."

These words left Wei Qingye momentarily taken aback, secretly musing that this person was indeed sharp, seeing through his Qi Fortune with just one glance.

After he finished speaking to Wei Qingye, the senior brother finally turned to Li Ye sitting beside him, the smile on his face even more gentle.

He softly said: "As for you, junior brother."

His gaze lingered for a moment on the glazed bracelet in Li Ye's hand: "The Celestial Dao favors you even more so.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have sent me into your hands as it did.

You should already have learned the Split Sand and Fill Sea and Shape Mountains into Water, the Divine Techniques of earth and water among the Five Elements.

I'll impart the remaining three Divine Techniques to you as well."

Still, he lightly pointed at Li Ye, the jade stone imprinting on his forehead, continuously passing the three Divine Techniques to Li Ye.

These were the other three magical spells of the Heart-Scapes.

They were Melting Wood into Flame, Cluster Gold into Forest, and Burn Water to Condense Sea.

These three Divine Techniques, together with the previous two, interconnected and mutually validated, only then formed the complete Heart-Scape transformation method of the Five Elements.

Li Ye took a deep breath.

Bowed his fist with gratitude: "Thank you, senior brother, for imparting these techniques."

"Ah," the senior brother had already picked up his chopsticks, speaking calmly: "I have nothing more to teach you, the other Divine Techniques you've learned at the sect.

Only this you cannot find at the sect.

After all, this Divine Technique originally came from the Compassionate Medicine King himself."

He picked up a bite of braised lion's head, speaking as he ate:

"You must have noticed, Compassionate Medicine King doesn't seem like us Taoist, rather like a mighty Buddhist sect figure, and that is indeed the case.

His existence is very special, it's a projection of a powerful being from the Upper Realm, back when our founding ancestor was opening up the world, he descended voluntarily providing much assistance.

Even during the earliest period, it was all depending on the Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts he grew and cultivated to sustain both cultivators and ordinary people."

Later, because of his philosophy of yielding and offering request, it led to many troublesome affairs, but this is not his fault, it's just the complexity of human nature, that's why our founder imprisoned him within the sect.

However, it was ultimately exploited, giving rise to the Hell Path as an evil consequence."

At this point, the senior brother had finished the braised lion's head and slowly ate a mouthful of shredded meat with a bun.

And what he said next was even more startling: "When I accidentally entered the Hell Path, I discovered... the ancestor from six thousand years ago attempted to feed the three corpses with excellent fruits, allowing her Three Corpses to manifest and thus slay them.

But she failed, instead being imprisoned by the Three Corpses.

Today's Hell Path is managed by her Three Corpses, they are scheming to erase that senior's soul, completely reclaiming her body.

Once erased, the Three Corpses unite, she would then harness the immense Spiritual Power accumulated over the Hell Path for millennia, to breakthrough Divinity Transformation at once."

Upon saying this.

Everyone present, even the two children, lost their appetite.

Especially the Fox Sister.

She hesitated repeatedly, then suddenly walked to the side and knelt before Li Ye: "Master, I wish to inquire about, does this senior know where my old master is now?"

Li Ye looked at her, indeed he too wanted to know, thus turned to his senior brother.

The senior brother answered unhurriedly: "The initial Painting Path, due to insufficient pigments, required extracting colors from the universe.

And to complete the Hell Transformation Diagram to conjure the small world of a Grotto Heaven scroll.

One naturally needed to use his whole body's Essence Blood and soul as fuel—that senior entered the Painting Path, died for painting, and left no regrets."

By this time, the senior brother had eaten the soft bun clean, looking toward Li Ye.

His expression was icy cold:

"I am exactly one of your senior brother's Three Corpses raised with excellent fruit, if you don't kill me, I will definitely retaliate against him in the future."

"So, what will you do with me?"
