Beizhou Continent, Xining Town.

When Xu Yeyu arrived at Xining Town, two soldiers at the door greeted him and let him in.

Both officers knew Xu Yeyu. He had been to Xining Town a year ago, but this time the green horse did not come with him.

Xu Yeyu had just walked for a while when a little girl came up to him.

"Young man, didn't the green horse come with you?" the little girl asked curiously.

Xu Yeyu recognized the little girl. When he and Qingma came to Xining Town before, it was this little girl who wanted to touch Qingma's horns.

She is a little taller now. After all, Xu Yeyu last came to Xining Town a year ago.

"I came alone this time." Xu Yeyu replied.

"Young man, I'm going home first. My father is waiting for me at home for dinner."

The little girl ran for a distance, then turned around and waved goodbye to Xu Yeyu.

Xu Yeyu smiled. Does this little girl like Qing Ma so much?

The entrusted meeting place was Baijiao County. Xining Town was quite close to Baijiao County, so Xu Yeyu came to meet the two people on the way.

Xu Yeyu came to a small room. He stood at the door and heard a baby crying.

He knocked on the wooden door and it was soon opened.

Mo Linyang didn't expect Xu Yeyu to come to them.

"My benefactor, it might be a little noisy here, please don't mind." Mo Linyang said.

Xu Yeyu smiled and said, "Congratulations to you two on having a lovely child."

He walked into the house and sat on a wooden bench.

Xu Yeyu touched his pocket and found only a few taels of silver in it, which was his last money for the journey.

He also didn't expect that Mo Linyang and Lin Xiaoya already had a child, so he didn't prepare any gifts before visiting.

When other people have children, they think it’s a gesture of respect, but now he doesn’t even show any respect at all.

Xu Yeyu thought about it and felt that he had something else that should be worth some money.

He took out two crystals from his storage ring and placed them on the table.

This is the crystal he got from Lake Tianlai last time, and he hasn’t sold it yet.

"This is a gift from me to you two, just a small token of my appreciation." Xu Yeyu said.

Mo Linyang quickly pushed the crystal back. This kind of crystal could be sold for at least ten taels of silver. If sold to a rich family, the price would be even higher.

To a monk, this is just an ordinary thing.

But for mortals like them, this is a considerable income.

"Children need to eat more so they can grow faster. These two crystals are given to you. You can keep them at home or sell them for money."

After Xu Yeyu finished speaking, he pushed the crystal in front of Lin Xiaoya.

Lin Xiaoya lowered her head and said, "Thank you very much, benefactor."

Mo Linyang poured Xu Yeyu a cup of tea and asked, "My benefactor, what is the matter with you coming here this time?"

Xu Yeyu shook his head and said, "I accepted a commission, and the commissioned place happened to be close to Xining Town, so I came to see you on the way."

"I just came to catch up with you, nothing else."

As soon as Xu Yeyu finished speaking, the baby started crying again.

Lin Xiaoya stood up and said, "Sorry, he should be going to bed. I'll go and coax him to sleep."

"By the way, I have a herb here that should be able to help you."

Xu Yeyu took out a herb from the storage ring and continued, "This is a herb called Tranquility Grass. When you coax your child to sleep, you can let him smell the Tranquility Grass."

He used his Qi to lift up the Meditation Grass and placed it next to the baby's nose.

The baby's cries gradually became weaker, and with the last slight whimper, it fell asleep.

"The meditation grass has no side effects. It just has a calming effect. It's very suitable for you two to coax the children to sleep."

Xu Yeyu placed the Tranquility Grass in Mo Linyang's hand and continued, "Usually you can just put it in a small box and use it when you want to coax your child to sleep."

Mo Linyang accepted the Tranquility Grass and said, "Thank you very much, benefactor. We are worried about how to get the child to sleep. He would make a fuss for a while every day before he would go to sleep."

The sound of the wooden door rang again, and Mo Linyang walked to the wooden door. He thought it must be a neighbor coming to deliver clothes.

His neighbor was a tailor, and a few days ago he asked his neighbor to make a piece of baby clothes.

Mo Linyang opened the wooden door and saw Old Man Lin standing at the door.

The old man's face was covered with wrinkles. He was leaning on a cane and wearing coarse linen clothes with some wear and patches on the edges.

"Uncle Lin, is there anything wrong?" Mo Linyang asked.

The old man took out a letter from his pocket and said, "Xiao Mo, I would like to ask you to help me deliver a letter to Qingquan Villa. Ten taels of silver as a reward."

"Uncle Lin, my wife recently gave birth to a child and I need to take care of both of them, so I cannot accept your commission." Mo Linyang said.

Mr. Lin is the oldest man in the town. He is already eighty years old.

Uncle Lin sighed, and then said: "Well, I will come to see you again after some time. I don't know if I can live to see that time..."

He turned around and prepared to leave.

A voice came from behind him.

"I can help you deliver the letter. Just tell me where Qingquan Villa is." Xu Yeyu said.

Old Man Lin turned his head and looked at Xu Yeyu in the room. He could tell that this man was not a mortal, but a cultivator.

Xu Yeyu was wearing extraordinary clothes and had a sword hanging around his waist.

"Young man, my reward is only ten taels of silver. Are you sure you want to help me deliver this letter?" asked Mr. Lin.

Xu Yeyu nodded and said, "I'll take this commission."

He is a little short of silver now, and he can get ten taels of silver simply by delivering a letter. He will definitely be happy to deliver the letter.

Without money, I can’t even afford to eat.

For places that are far away for mortals, he can reach them by flying on his sword for a while.

Uncle Lin handed a map to Xu Yeyu and said, "Qingquan Villa is in the red circle, about 200 miles away from Xining Town."

For Xu Yeyu, two hundred miles is indeed not far.

"Who should this letter be given to?" Xu Yeyu asked.

"Give it to Taoist Master Hu. When you arrive at Qingquan Villa, just tell them about Uncle Lin's letter and someone will take you to see Taoist Master Hu." The old man replied.

Xu Yeyu nodded and put the map and letter into the storage ring.

"I will leave for Qingquan Villa later. As for the reward, I will come back to ask you for it later."

Mr. Lin thanked him and slowly walked home.

Xu Yeyu glanced at Uncle Lin, then went back into the house and sat down.

"Benefactor, why did you accept Mr. Lin's commission?" Lin Xiaoya asked curiously.

For monks, silver is just a material possession and is not important.

Lin Xiaoya thought Xu Yeyu was simply doing good deeds.

Xu Yeyu picked up the tea that Lin Xiaoya had just poured for him and said, "Because I'm very poor now, ten taels of silver is quite important!"

Mo Linyang and Lin Xiaoya both showed strange expressions and looked at each other.

They always thought Xu Yeyu was joking. How could a monk be poor?
