The things that followed.

Unexpected, or perhaps, inevitable.

When "Pot Girl" learned that Li Ye intended to take her child away and send it to the Four Seasons Sect.

The big iron pot knocked Taoist Friend Wen's head a few times, then happily let Li Ye take its child away.

As for its life water, it was actually a kind of Spiritual Water it secreted, and it said it would collect it and send it to the Four Seasons Sect.

Taoist Friend Wen wore a bitter face, yet with a gentle smile, seemingly unbothered by being knocked by Pot Girl.

To this, Li Ye could only say, it was quite amusing.

Unexpectedly, the once shy iron pot suddenly became spirited, is this what they say, "A mother becomes strong for her child"?

But it should not have any Yin Yang distinction before.

Truly strange.

Also, Taoist Friend Wen is truly indulgent of Pot Girl; he can understand the bond between human and fox, but never thought human and pot could have such love?

Is it him being too superficial, failing to see the beauty of the soul beneath the iron exterior?

In any case.

Li Ye bid farewell to several friends, opting not to mention what he discovered about the Celestial Vein to Wei Qingye before leaving.

Bringing it up now serves no purpose; it's best discussed later.

The affairs here are mostly resolved, the Earth Book has been placed deep within the earth, continuing to restore the Marketplace's Earth Vein.

Once arrangements for the small iron pot are made, he plans to set off for Dusuo Mountain.

Upon returning to the sect.

He visited Divine Snow True Man with the small iron pot, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Since Divine Snow True Man manages the fall harvest food boxes, he naturally sought her for favors.

After reporting his arrival, he awaited briefly.

The True Man opened a portal for him.

It was a pale blue portal exhaling cold air and swirling snowflakes.

Li Ye stepped through, arriving in the Divine Snow Grotto Heaven.

All around was snow swirling in the air, piled thick enough to bury a person.

Growing within the snow were large, crystalline Glazed Snow Lotuses, needing three or four people to embrace.

The Glazed Snow Lotuses spread across the snowy ground, alone in their beauty, stretching into a field of lotuses.

Further ahead was a majestic, continuous mountain range, extending to the edge of sight, resembling a dormant silver-gray dragon.

From the mountain range summit, the sky seemed cracked, pouring endless white chill downward, akin to heaven's fall.

The white chill was cleaved into massive cold currents by the towering ridges, transforming into snowflakes, sweeping across the Divine Snow Grotto Heaven.

Looking up.

The cold currents resembled giant dragons, spewing the spiritual power that transforms the world.

By this time, Li Ye certainly no longer felt solely awe-struck like a novice Cultivator, his eyes shimmering with the bronze hue of Jianmu, muttering to himself:

"This is... the winter season?"

"Precisely."

A refined voice came from beside him, soon followed by a grand silver deer with formidable antlers like a noble crown appearing within Li Ye's Divine Sense.

The aura it emitted was unmistakably of the Nascent Soul level.

Innocent yet clear deer eyes carried snowflake-shaped markings.

[Name]: Winterlin Bright Deer · Start of Winter

[Mood]: Uneasy

[State]: As a descendant born of the Seasonal Power of winter Divine Beast, inheriting the power of "Start of Winter," wherever it passes, all things are collected, temperatures plummet, bringing the seasonal power of universal dormancy.

When together with its five other winter Divine Beast siblings, it will transform the surrounding environment into eternal winter.

"Senior is...?"

Li Ye was very polite facing a Nascent Soul level Spirit Beast.

"Just call me Lin Winter."

The silver deer gestured for Li Ye to follow it, speaking as they walked, "The master is presently discussing Dao with a Nascent Soul from the Punishment Hall, she is aware of your visit.

She cannot appear now, coupled with the Hell Path clues you provided, she wishes to entrust you with a task.

Finish this task, and she will reward you with some benefits."

Clearly walking slowly.

Yet the surrounding snowy scenes rushed by; one moment among countless Glazed Snow Lotuses, the next amid lush snowy pines.

Upon entering here.

Li Ye felt his boundless mana and physical power suppressed by another force, the blowing wind and snow brought him a bone-chilling coldness he hadn't felt since reaching Foundation Establishment.

His Divine Sense remained sharp.

It could still help him clearly observe the surroundings within hundreds of miles, but his physical body turned fragile like a mortal, even inferior to the body with damaged meridians when he first transmigrated.

However.

He could sense that this force didn't forcibly restrict his power; with a light tap, it would burst forth like a bubble, reinstating the dazzling Immortal Light of a Cultivator.

"Why restrict my Divine Techniques?"

Li Ye silently tightened his clothes.

"The master cultivates the Winter Seasonal Songs, yet as you may notice, Cultivators... seem not to have such acute perception of the seasons."

The silver deer silently laid down, gesturing Li Ye to lean against it, he instinctively obeyed, drawing near the deer, its warm and lavish silver fur shielding him from the surrounding storm.

He gazed at the snowflakes falling before him, his back warmed by the deer, silently extending a hand to watch the snowflakes melt into his palm.
