After seeing Yang Yan,the county magistrate, Wang Tieniu understood the benefits Zhu Yun mentioned . Until he left the county government’s office, he was confused and couldn’t believe it . He was also excited .
He had become an official . Although he was only a deputy constable with no rank, he would still be paid by the emperor and in charge of ten people . His salary every month was much more than what he had earned in fishing in the past year . If he told his family about this, they would be very happy, wouldn’t they? After all, it brought honor to their ancestors .
At noon, Zhu Yun and a group of people led Wang Tieniu to celebrate in the best restaurant in the county . Drunk, Wang Tieniu hurried back to his village . The villagers asked Wang Tieniu what happened as soon as he entered the village . Wang Tieniu told villagers everything that he knew . Soon, the whole village knew that Wang Tieniu had been hired by the county government as a deputy constable with ten people under his control and would take office in two days .
Wang Tieniu had been a poor boy who not many cared for before and was suddenly the most popular one in the village . Everyone with a daughter was willing to marry their daughter to him . Xiao Lian’s mother couldn’t wait and almost took Wang Tieniu to her home .
Wang Tieniu was almost sober now . He went home with Xiao Lian’s mother in order to meet Mu Yi . He didn’t feel uneasy until he had to face his master . After all, he had accepted the appointment by the county magistrate and hadn’t asked his master’s opinion .
Moreover, he would take office in a few days, and he would definitely not be able to stay in the village any longer . It had cost him a great opportunity and flustered him .
“Master,” Wang Tieniu said in a low voice through the door .

After a while, Mu Yi replied, “Come in . ”
After entering the room, Wang Tieniu knelt directly on the ground, “I beg master’s forgiveness . I have joined the county government and failed to live up to master’s expectations . ”
“My expectations? Wang Tieniu, do you know what I expect?” Mu Yi asked with a smile .
“Ah?” Wang Tieniu opened his mouth, but he knew that his master wasn’t angry .
“Everyone has his own way . If you want to be a strong man, you can’t stay here forever . You have to go out and make a living . In fact, when I asked you to make friends with that person, I had a feeling that one day you would be able to work for the county government . It’s a rare chance for you . After all, you are still young and lack experience . You would only die quickly if you rushed into the world . It won’t be too late to wander in the world when you get used to your present status . This may be the chance you were looking for,” said Mu Yi patiently .
“Master…” Wang Tieniu was moved and didn’t know what to say .

“Well, before you go to work, I will try my best to teach you what I know . It’ll be enough, with practice, for you to break through to the first-class realm . If we meet again later and you haven’t let me down, I will really accept you as my disciple,” said Mu Yi .
“Thank you, master . I will not let you down,” Wang Tieniu said loudly .
“Well, you can leave . There are people waiting for you outside . You can come back later in the evening . ” Mu Yi waved to dismiss Wang Tieniu . When Wang Tieniu was gone, Mu Yi took a long breath, “It’s time to go . ”
Mu Yi was just a passer-by . Wang Tieniu saved him, and he paid him back . He had recovered nearly one third of his strength . He couldn’t fight Ning Wuque but ordinary first-class experts wouldn’t cause him problems .
Mu Yi arranged for Wang Tieniu to leave him because Mu Yi would be leaving soon . As long as he finished teaching, he could leave with ease .
In the evening, Wang Tieniu came early and watched Mu Yi .

Mu Yi taught Wang Tieniu the special skill he got from Leng Yu, especially designed for Da Nu . However, he hadn’t practiced it before, so it was impossible for him to pass on the whole experience . As a result, Wang Tieniu would have to practice the skill bit by bit .
That kind of self-cultivation was far more stable than just taking knowledge from others .
In addition to this set of skills, Mu Yi also taught how to nourish his blood Qi, transform it into internal Qi, also known as internal skill or real Qi . When Wang Tieniu understood that process, he would reach the second-class realm . If he wanted to reach the first-class realm, he needed to explore his heart and find his own Taoism . No one could help him do it which was why real experts always relied on themselves .
If Mu Yi had the time, he would press Wang Tieniu and make him exercise for a while . He would enter the third-class after at least half a year . Unfortunately, he didn’t have the time and had to impart the shortcuts . Fortunately, Wang Tieniu had another talent, and it was hard to say what he would achieve in the future .
Maybe he would reach the second-class realm and stay there . Maybe he would break through to the first-class realm . However, no one could be sure about the future . Even Mu Yi was uncertain about the future .
Finally, Mu Yi gave Wang Tieniu some charms he had drawn before, most of which were exorcism charms . The rest of Wang Tieniu’s fate would have to be achieved through his own efforts . If Mu Yi prepared everything, Wang Tieniu would never understand the significance of exercising .
Three days later, in the morning, Wang Tieniu looked at Mu Yi sadly, “Master, do you really want to leave?”
“All good things must come to an end, and I have taught you what I could teach . Your future depends on you . ”
“When will I see you again, master?”
“Maybe soon . Maybe I will never see you all my life, Wang Tieniu . Although you are only a registered disciple, you are my first apprentice . Work hard . ” Mu Yi patted Wang Tieniu on the shoulder and smiled at Xiao Lian . “I can’t wait for you to get married . I can only bless you in advance . ”
“Thank you, Brother Mu . ”
Xiao Lian’s eyes were red, and she looked more reluctant than Wang Tieniu . After all, Mu Yi had been living in her home all this time, and she had been taking good care of Mu Yi . She had got what she wanted and would marry Wang Tieniu in half a year . Mu Yi believed that Wang Tieniu had a good temperament and would not bully Xiao Lian . Moreover, they had known each other since childhood and would have a happy marriage .
Wang Tieniu and Xiao Lian watched Mu Yi leave .
