Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

Chapter 240 Return of the Soul

Mo Yuming was in the dense forest, his figure moving swiftly like a ghost. At this moment, his thoughts were in turmoil, all sorts of ideas rising and falling in his mind, without any discernible clues.

Since he was currently only in a soul state, neither towering trees nor solid rocks could pose an obstacle to him. Therefore, Mo Yuming didn't need to pay attention to what was on the road ahead; he could simply forge ahead and pass through.

Normally, if flying at full speed in soul form, it would only take a few seconds to travel from Xianghe Valley to Yishi Valley. However, this time Mo Yuming did not choose such an easy way to travel. Instead, he deliberately slowed down and slowly made his way through the forest.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and several hours had passed by the time Mo Yuming finally traversed the entire Yishi Valley at a leisurely pace. At this moment, the sky gradually turned a pale white, and the dawn's light slowly dispelled the gloom of the night.

The children living in Yishi Village got up one after another and began their daily morning practice in the gentle breeze. They sat neatly and orderly on the ground in the center of the hall, forming a tight circle, and focused intently on practicing the mysterious techniques unique to the Wu tribe.

As for Mo Yuming, who was in a soul state, he was unable to cultivate diligently like these children, nor could he communicate with them. Helpless, he could only sit idly to the side and quietly watch the children diligently cultivate.

An hour later, Park Ya-joo took one of the older children to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone. The other children then began to learn to read on their own. Each of them took a stick and began to write characters stroke by stroke in their homemade sand trays.

They didn't stop until Park Ah-joo had finished making breakfast, even the youngest among them. Perhaps it was because they had experienced so much hardship that they cherished this hard-won peace even more.

"Sister Yazhu, there was so much thunder in the sky last night, it sounded really scary. I hope nothing bad will happen."

While eating breakfast, the youngest little girl asked with some concern.

"It's alright. Brother Yuming said those lightning bolts are specifically designed to keep outsiders out. Even experts at the Heavenly Rank can't get in, so we don't need to be afraid. Besides, there are several old men guarding the outside of the canyon. They are extremely powerful Heavenly Rank experts, so we are safe here!"

Ya Zhu said.

"Brother Yuming hasn't come for so long, I really want to see him!" a little girl said.

“Brother Yuming has a lot of things to do and doesn’t have time to come,” a boy said.

"Alright, kids, stop talking and hurry up and eat. After we finish eating, we should go herd the livestock. Yesterday, Xiaoyan saw some brown-necked chickens nesting near the pasture. Aliang, take two people to check if they've laid any eggs. If they have, collect a few and we'll make scrambled eggs for lunch."

Park Ah-joo urged.

"Okay, the eggs from the brown-necked chicken are the best! I love them so much! I'm going right now!" Ah Liang quickly finished his breakfast and got up to leave.

"take me."

"I am coming too!"

The two little boys quickly finished their breakfast and then followed Ah Liang away.

"Xiao Bin, you guys go and drive that group of spotted demon boars and bull-tailed demon deer to the Scaled Firefly Grass Beach to graze. The bull-tailed roe deer are greedy, so don't let them eat too much. You need to bring them back after they've been eating for an hour, otherwise they'll get bloated and burst from eating too much Scaled Firefly Grass."

"Okay!" Xiao Bin led his team away, accepting the order.

"Xiaowen, you three should go pick blue peaches. If you don't pick them in a few days, they'll all fall off."

"Okay, Sister Yazhu. We'll go right away."

……

After arranging everything for the children, Park Ya-joo tidied up the tableware, went to the storage room, took out the blue peaches she had collected over the past few days, washed them, cut them into pieces, and laid them out on thick cattail leaves to dry.

Blue peaches can be eaten raw or used as an ingredient in specialty dishes. Due to their unique and delicious flavor, they are loved by many. Moreover, they are rare and rich in the spiritual energy of the metal element, making them sought after by practitioners of metal-based mystical arts, and their market price is quite considerable.

"Miss Yazhu!"

Just as Park Ah-joo was busy, Ha-ye's voice came from outside.

When Park Ya-joo went outside, she saw four people standing in the hall: Ha-ye, Dian-ye, Lei-ye, and Xiao-xiao. Lei-ye was carrying someone on his back, but the person was covered by clothing, so she couldn't see who it was.

"Uncle He, little girl, what brings you here?"

"Miss Yazhu, quickly tidy up the young master's room. We can talk about other things later."

Xiao Xiao said anxiously.

"Ok."

Seeing that everyone looked tense, Ya Zhu knew the matter was urgent and didn't want to ask too many questions. So she quickly led everyone to the room where Mo Yuming used to live.

"Young Master? What happened?"

When Master Lei gently placed Mo Yuming's body on the bed, Ya Zhu finally realized that the person Master Lei was carrying was actually the unconscious Mo Yuming. She anxiously asked...

"It's nothing, don't worry, it was just a little accident, young master is fine."

A small act of comfort to Pu Yazhu.

"Yazhu, come with me to explore the outside world. This is my first time in this canyon. I never imagined that such a wonderful world was hidden beneath the cliffs."

After Lei Ye and the others settled Mo Yuming in, Huang Xiaoxiao took Pu Yazhu's hand and walked outside. Next, Lei Ye and the others began the process of guiding Mo Yuming's soul back to his body. Huang Xiaoxiao and the others couldn't help, so in order not to disturb Lei Ye and the others, they took the initiative to pull Pu Yazhu out of the room and close the door.

Lei Ye had already begun setting up the room according to Ji Xianlin's instructions.

Mo Yuming's soul had already witnessed everything. When he tried to return to his body, he found it wasn't so simple and couldn't return smoothly. He could only stand aside and wait for Lei Ye and the others to guide him.

Soon after Lei Ye and the others finished arranging everything, he stood by the bed and began to circulate his energy. Then, he raised his index finger and pointed it at Mo Yuming's forehead, sending a stream of spiritual energy directly into Mo Yuming's mind. Soon, Mo Yuming's body began to emit a faint glow. At this moment, the soul standing beside him immediately felt a sensation attracting him, and he was overjoyed. He quickly followed the faint sensation into the Baihui acupoint of his body.

Sure enough, not long after, Mo Yuming felt a tingling sensation in his fingertips, and when he tried to move them, he found it difficult.

At this moment, he felt dizzy and his limbs gradually regained feeling. Then, Mo Yuming felt unbearable pain all over his body and couldn't help but cry out, "Ah!"

When He Ye and the others standing inside heard Mo Yuming's shouts, they couldn't help but smile broadly.

The three of them danced with joy like children. At that moment, Xiao Xiao and Ya Zhu, who hadn't gone far outside, also pushed open the door and came in. Seeing Mo Yuming awake, they couldn't help but cry with joy.

Lying on the bed, Mo Yuming endured the pain all over his body, looked up at the people in the room, and said softly:

"Thank you all..."

"Ming-di, don't move. Just lie down and rest. It's good that you've woken up. Don't say anything. You've been unconscious for many days without food or water. You must be hungry now. Ya-zhu and I will go and get you something to eat." Seeing that Mo Yu-ming was very weak, Xiao-xiao quickly told him to rest and not move.

After saying that, he took Ya Zhu's hand and walked towards the kitchen.
