The tree monster gave in after one-fifth of the orchard was consumed . It came out of the ground and shouted at Mu Yi as if it was giving up .
Mu Yi smiled . The Nanming Li Fire had been out of his control of Mu Yi, so Mu Yi used the Xin lamp to swallow the fire . The fire was gradually shrunk and a bit of oil appeared in fill the lamp . The area was charred .
“Well, hand over the lightning struck peach wood . ” Mu Yi said .
The tree monster did not hesitate . The ground shook and two tree roots lifted a piece of black peach wood in front of Mu Yi .
This lightning struck peach wood was almost the length of a small arm, slightly thicker than an arm . Although it looked dark, the center of this peach wood contained a strong vitality . The quality of this lightning struck peach wood was much higher than he imagined .
It was more than enough to use as an accessory for Yan Qing, so there would be some left over .
Seeing Mu Yi take the lightning struck peach wood, the tree demon roared at Mu Yi urging him to leave .
“Well, I’ll go now, but a tree demon needs to go through a lot of disasters . Maybe heaven used me to give you this disaster . I just hope you will kill less people in the future, so that the disaster will be lesser . ”
Mu Yi turned away .
Although the process was a little more laborious than he anticipated, he got it .

By the time Mu Yi came to the city gate, there was more and more light in the sky, and the crowing of chickens could be heard .
Without waiting for the gate to open, Mu Yi quietly climbed over the wall and entered the city . He went to the inn where he had lived before, only to find no trace of Mo Ruyan and Big Slave .
Mu Yi thought about it for a moment and thought that they should be in Tingyu Building, so Mu Yi went to Tingyu Building . The doors of Tingyu Building wereas closed, but Mu Yi was not in a hurry . Seeing that there was a breakfast shop not far away had opened, he went forward and prepared to eat something .
After a night’s run and the great battle with the tree monster, he was hungry .
An old couple was selling breakfast . They were 50 or 60 years old . They were hunched down with the vicissitudes of life etched in their faces . Although they were laborious, they smiled . When they saw Mu Yi coming, the old lady came forward to greet him . They were very kind and reminded Mu Yi of the old Taoist Priest .
Mu Yi asked for a bowl of wonton soup, which was sprinkled with a layer of scallions . It was fragrant . Mu Yi hadn’t eaten this kind of breakfast since he was still wandering the world with the old Taoist priest . Although he ate a lot of fish and meat, the most unforgettable meals were this kind of wonton soup .
It made him homesick . He wished that he could leave all his troubles behind and go back to the mountain, forget the world and focus on cultivating .
Unfortunately, until he found the old Taoist Priest that couldn’t happen . The friends he’d gathered on the way were comforting .
After eating, Mu Yi felt comfortable, but when he wanted to check out, he found that he didn’t have silver on his body, which embarrassed him .
The old lady seemed to find out the reason why Mo Yi was embarrassed . She went up and asked with a smile, “Do you forget to bring money?”

“Grandma, I don’t have any money . Can I replace it with something else?” Mu Yi asked with a wry smile .
“Come on, it’s just a bowl of wonton, I will treat you . It must be difficult as a little Taoist . Where’s your master?” The old lady said, shaking her head .
“I don’t know where he is . I’m looking for him . ” Mu Yi said .
“Ah, this damned world, you wait here . ” The old lady shook her head then went to her husband . They whispered something . After a while, the old lady came to Mu Yi with a bag of money . “Little Taoist, take this money . Pay more attention to yourself . ”
“No, how can I take your money?” Mu Yi immediately shook his head . He knew that they had misunderstood him and thought that he was lonely and poor, but this old couple were not rich . If they gave him money, their lives would be very difficult .
Mu Yi didn’t have money with him . Even if he didn’t have much ability, he couldn’t accept this money, so he said it firmly .
“Grandma, I really just forgot to bring it . I don’t lack money . Here are two charms, which were given to me by my master . They can protect you and drive away evil spirits . It’s good for you to wear them all the time . Take them as a payment for your bowl of wonton . ” Mu Yi took out two amulets . It was a lie, but at least they would take it seriously .
The old woman looked at Mu Yi seriously and saw that Mu Yi didn’t look like a liar . She looked at the amulets in her hand again, hesitated for a moment, but Mu Yi didn’t give her a chance to refuse . After putting the amulets in her hand, he left in a hurry .
After Mu Yi disappeared, the old woman sighed . Then she went back inside and handed the amulets to her husband . The old man looked at it, but he didn’t take it seriously . However, he didn’t throw it away . The charm looked real . Maybe it was for psychological comfort . Maybe it was an instinct . Either way, he put it in the box of money .
Later, they began to greet the guests . Because they had been here for many years, the food was delicious and cheap, many people came to eat wonton soup in the morning, but it was also noisy . They were busy and had a smile on their face . For them, this was life .

When Mu Yi went to Tingyu building again, it was already open . The woman guarding the door remembered him, or someone had informed her, so Mu Yi was taken to Qi Yu .
Qi Yu hurried to see Mu Yi and was delighted, “You are finally back . ”
“Miss Qi Yu, we meet again . ” Mu Yi nodded to Qi Yu .
“If you didn’t come back soon, I’m afraid your confidante would have gone to find you . ”
“A confidante?” Mu Yi was stunned at first then realized that she was talking about Mo Ruyan . Although he had some affinity with her, it was just friendship . He was a Taoist . Although the Taoist did not prohibit marriage, Mu Yi had no interest in it .
“Are my friend and Big Slave okay? Where are they?” Mu Yi asked .
“Don’t worry, they are fine . They live in a yard not far away owned by the Tingyu Building . It’s very safe, so you don’t have to worry about it . ”
“Well, thank you . ”
“Leng Yu ordered it to be that way . I will take you to see her . ”
“Okay,” Mu Yi nodded . He’d brought the bamboo slip with him because he knew he would see her when he got back . He had already memorized the contents of the bamboo slip .
After this was over, he hoped to find a place to study and cultivate all the things he’d picked up . Going now south wouldn’t be helpful because he didn’t have the time . He would have to wait for a better opportunity .
Qi Yu took Mu Yi to the third floor again . Before long, Leng Yu came out with her mask on .
“Landlord,” Mu Yi stood up and gave a salute .
Leng Yu looked him over, “You escaped from Lunatic Ning, and it seems that you have made great progress . It seems that you have another chance . ”
“Just a fluke . ” Mu Yi shook his head .
“There’s no fluke when it comes to life and death, but it’s amazing that you came here so quickly . ”
Leng Yu sat down across from Mu Yi .
“Oh, did you think I’d run away and never come back?”
“There’s a beauty here, could you give up?”
Mu Yi shook his head . He knew that Leng Yu was still a woman in essence, so he avoided this topic, took out the golden bamboo slip, and handed them to Leng Yu .
