I still need to help transcend the former war dead within the Black Mountain Stone, otherwise, let you take them home to worship.

Every year in the future, you must come at least once, don't forget this."

Wen Yan pulled Brother Ye's thoughts back, Brother Ye responded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, no matter what I forget, I won't forget this."

"This good news, you should go tell the people in the village yourself, I'll leave it to you."

Brother Ye finally smiled, and when he turned to leave, Wen Yan suddenly remembered something.

"Also, Brother Ye, don't ask me to drink this time, I have other matters."

He truly couldn't hold on to this, the people in the village don't urge you to drink, their meaning is you're free to choose.

But even the big aunt next to you comes to toast you, and they offer you a bowl, you always have to take a sip at least out of courtesy, right?

Or just don't drink at all from the start.

Not long after Brother Ye left, the sound of bells rang in the village, with people gathering in the central open space of the village.

Soon enough, Wen Yan heard cheers, he stood on the hillside, looking into the distance, seeing people already leading sheep and driving pigs, preparing to celebrate.

There were bonfires being set up, smoke bathing in the morning's light rising spirally, presenting a vibrant scene.

Wen Yan, along with Tuoba Martial God, Feng Wei, and Tong Si, sat on the hillside, quietly watching the eastern sky, where dawn gradually emerged, feeling relaxed.

Thinking back, besides going to school, he had not seen what the sunrise looked like for a long time.

He remembered the saying: don't go out in morning glow, travel miles with evening glow.

Wen Yan took out his phone to check, indeed, the local weather forecast predicted rain within an hour locally.

Time passed bit by bit, a young girl with braided hair helped an old man come to Wen Yan's side, inviting them to join the celebration activities.

Wen Yan quickly made an excuse about having tasks to decline.

The young girl with braided hair couldn't help but say they wouldn't drink alcohol.

The old man beside laughed, patting her hand, then said to Wen Yan,

"No need to drink, I heard you've been busy all night, must be tired, come eat something, take a rest, the morning moisture is strong, come warm yourself by the fire."

Unable to refuse, Wen Yan followed to the fire, surrounded by noise, the flames shining, he felt a bit drowsy.

He sat around the bonfire, accompanied by the clamor of children, the distant cries of slaughtering pigs and sheep, he leaned back on a chair and gradually fell asleep.

Soon after, someone brought Wen Yan breakfast, noticing he was still asleep, those nearby shook their heads.

The girl with braided hair wanted to fetch a blanket but was stopped by the elderly.

"Let him sleep, it's warm here, his health is strong, he won't catch cold, cover him and he'll wake up."

Wen Yan slept soundly, Tuoba Martial God was less worried, he would only grow more energized today. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

During this time frame, his 'Yang Energy' wasn't very strong yet, and there was no fear of exposure.

Instead, everything in the village felt fresh to him, he helped others slaughter pigs, impressed by holding down a black pig, they gave him a thumbs-up, he was as delighted as a fisherman just pulling up a thirty-pound fish from the river.

Tuoba Martial God enjoyed playing here, Wen Yan slept happily.

Meanwhile, the commotion from last night had just begun causing waves.

Even though the majority couldn't see the black aura from last night, still some could.

That scene of overwhelming presence, once seen, made worrying unavoidable.

Though the General Director couldn't see it, he knew about it from Wen Yan's mention.

Discovering it first-hand, the General Director secretly issued an order, instructing all local Scorching Sun Departments and department AI to monitor any unusual movements of professionals or different races from last night to today.

Those who can see the black aura may not have problems, but the key characters related to these matters definitely can.

Wen Yan only reported the information, and the Scorching Sun Department had already initiated the first round of filtering.

By around ten o'clock, Wen Yan had slept enough and naturally opened his eyes.

Daily wearing the title of player Natural Enemy, with the inherent base effect of Liver Emperor, made his energy consumption greatly decline.

Calculating today's sleep lasting over three hours, it actually counted as a long sleeping time.

Upon waking, someone brought him hot water, and food was also served.

The rice was cooked, drained, then steamed, distinct grains, the cured meat made by villagers, pork from fully-grown black pigs reared by the village, stir-fried in a wood-fired stove, the aroma was something special.

Wen Yan gobbled the food, finishing it quickly, drank some homemade tea to relieve greasiness, which was incredibly satisfying.

Eaten and sated, Wen Yan looked at the passive Yang Energy emanating from himself, surpassing even Tuoba Martial God's state at the moment, feeling it was almost time to leave.

Using tasks as an excuse, Wen Yan left with others.

Leaving the village, entering the mountain, Wen Yan smiled broadly.

"Are you ready? Feel how I usually practice?"

"Does your Gray Cloth not prevent water? How does it block Yang Energy?"

"This isn't your area of expertise, don't force yourself to understand these things."
