"Mmm..."

No one knows how long it has been, but the silver-haired little bundle was the first to move.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly sat up from the bed.

"Senior Sister," Qing Jun gently shook Zhiwei, who was still fast asleep next to her, and urged softly, "Wake up, it's daylight already!"

Zhiwei was awoken by her shaking. She slowly opened her eyes, and those pitch-black pupils still held a trace of sleepiness.

"Has Master... come over?" she asked instinctively.

"I don't know."

Qing Jun shook her head and perked up her ears, carefully listening to the sounds from next door, but she heard nothing.

"Master must still be sleeping! We won't get up today; let's just wait for Master to come and coax us!"

Zhiwei hesitated upon hearing this.

She was always a bit indecisive.

To be honest, after last night, she already had some regrets.

Whenever she thought of Master's weary, lonely back, her heart couldn't help but feel sour and swollen.

However, seeing her junior sister's expectant eyes, she still nodded.

Since she promised her junior sister, she couldn't quit halfway!

Moreover...

If worse comes to worst, she would comfort Master more afterward...

So, the two little girls lay there straight, just waiting for Master to come and coax them.

But, as time passed by second by second,

Master's figure never appeared.

The two little girls stared through the window, their eyes fixed on the Quiet Chamber outside.

Little did they know, their Master had already gone to the Outer Valley early in the morning, before they even woke up...

...

Chen Ye was very busy,

He was truly very busy.

In Lisong Valley, thirty new Spirit Plant Cultivators had arrived.

These people were recorded by the Dark Old Man at the Mountain Protection Array yesterday.

They then returned home to pack their belongings and came back to Lisong Valley today.

Now, in front of him were thirty mouths waiting to be fed, and all their food, drink, and necessities needed his arrangement.

Most importantly, many Spirit Plant Cultivators brought their families, which further increased the number of people.

Of course, Chen Ye could stipulate that no family members were allowed, but having their families in Lisong Valley made it easier for him to control these Spirit Plant Cultivators.

After all, Lisong Valley is quite large; you could house not just thirty, but even three hundred people.

But this made the arrangement even more of a headache.

Fortunately, he had the assistance of Dark Old Man and Li Qiuyun.

Otherwise, Chen Ye would feel like dying from the headache.

"Damn... I thought thirty people wouldn't be a big deal, there were forty or fifty people in a class back in school... who would've known it would be this hard to manage."

Chen Ye felt embarrassed.

He first took Li Dageng to thoroughly clean and renovate the area that originally belonged to the Outer Sect disciples, arranging accommodations for the newly arrived Spirit Plant Cultivators.

Then, he was non-stop busy, starting to plan the large wasteland of medicinal fields in Lisong Valley.

Which plot is suitable for which Spirit Plant; which field needs to be nurtured with Spiritual Power first; which water channel needs to be cleared... every single matter needed him, the supervisor, to make the final decision.

He was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, let alone pay attention to those two little disciples who were having a little tiff.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

Chen Ye finally managed to arrange everything for these more than thirty families properly.

Then he led the newly recruited Spirit Plant Cultivators to the Spirit Field in Lisong Valley, which had suffered from the cold disaster.

Seeing the sight of withered leaves and the lack of Vitality in front of them, the Spirit Plant Cultivators all frowned and began to discuss among themselves.

"This... The depletion of Earth Power is too severe. I'm afraid these Spirit Plants, let alone thrive, will almost all die within a year or two."

"Not just that, look at this soil, it's compacted into clumps, the Spiritual Power is thin, it's close to degrading from a Spirit Field to ordinary soil, and these Spirit Plants..."

"Alas, what can we do? With our meager experience, we're afraid we can't turn the situation around."

To these words, Chen Ye had little reaction.

But beside him, his attendant Li Qiuyun couldn't help but bite his lip, thinking that if even the Outer Sect disciples couldn't handle it, for these Medicinal Farmers...

Lin Jinghua looked at the lifeless medicinal field in front of him, his heart weighed heavily.

He bravely approached Chen Ye, bowed, and said, "Steward Chen, the issues here... might be more serious than we imagined. With our limited Spirit Plant Technique, I'm afraid..."

Their inability to fix this was normal.

Bear in mind, even the previous supervisor Tian Nong found this a tricky issue.

Chen Ye had brought them here to show a hand in the Spirit Plant Technique in front of them, to win them over and enhance his prestige.

"Elder Lin need not worry."

Chen Ye waved his hand, interrupting him.

This was also why he had Tian Nong send him here initially.

These Spirit Plants endured a cold disaster, and their Earth Power was forcibly extracted by that scoundrel Wei Cheng with an Array, a problem indeed unsolvable for ordinary Spirit Plant Cultivators.

But for him, it wasn't the case.

Since coming to Lisong Valley, to tackle this problem, he took time to practice the Cloud Rain Technique.

He successfully cultivated his Cloud Rain Technique, with a proficiency as high as 360, to Limit Break!

"Everyone, watch closely."

Chen Ye spoke loudly, he walked to the center of the medicinal field, closed his eyes slowly in the gaze of surprise and uncertainty from the crowd.

He secretly activated the Mountain Protection Array, using it to mobilize the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

In an instant, Chen Ye's heart and mind were clear.

With his perspective rapidly elevated through the Grand Array, he finally gazed down upon the entire Lisong Valley.

"As expected of the Yi Wood Qi Control Array."

Chen Ye praised in his heart, realizing that this Mountain Protection Array not only had defensive capabilities but could also mobilize the earth veins and Vegetation Qi of the whole valley, as well as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for one's use.
