In the library, Sun Wukong looked at Master Puti with a smile.

"How come you're here?"

Master Puti asked.

"Of course, to greet Master."

Sun Wukong answered with a bow.

The Grandmaster couldn't help but sigh; he had veiled the heavens' secrets to come to Wanling City, yet Sun Wukong had still detected him.

The extent of Sun Wukong's mana was unfathomable.

"Move them in."

The Grandmaster ordered the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple to move the Heavenly Books they brought into the library.

With the Heavenly Books of Huaguo Mountain nearly all moved, there was no need for the Grandmaster to stay in Yunxiao City, so he let the old turtle continue to manage that library.

He brought Gu Zhi to Wanling City and took over the management of the library here.

"Join me for a walk."

Leaving Gu Zhi to sort out the Heavenly Books, Master Puti said to Sun Wukong, "It's my first time in Wanling City, take me around to see the sights."

"Yes."

Sun Wukong transformed into a Daoist and walked alongside the Grandmaster.

"How are the schools coming along?"

Master Puti inquired.

"Three have already been built."

Sun Wukong replied.

Wanling City had built three schools, providing free education.

Master Puti then inquired about the progress of several other matters, and Sun Wukong's answers all satisfied him.

"Speaking of which..."

Master Puti said, "A disciple of mine reported that a formidable demon monkey has appeared in the Eastern Continent."

"I'm aware."

Sun Wukong nodded, "He left through my hands."

"That demon monkey has vast divine skills."

The Grandmaster asked, "Why did you let him go?"

"He represents another path for demons."

Sun Wukong chuckled, "I can't make all demons agree with me; there have to be those who lead them."

The Grandmaster couldn't help shaking his head, "Aren't you afraid that he'll gather demons and oppose you?"

"I've seen him once; he's different from other demons."

Sun Wukong shook his head, "He won't easily become my enemy."

Master Puti gave him a look but couldn't read anything from Sun Wukong's face.

However, Sun Wukong said these words for a reason.

"You monkey, even I can't fathom your thoughts."

The Grandmaster joked with a smile.

Sun Wukong laughed, "Master, when have you ever seen through me?"

The Grandmaster glared, "Had I known you were so cunning, I wouldn't have taken you as my disciple."

"Master, please calm your anger."

Sun Wukong said with a beaming smile, "Let's go have some noodles."

The Grandmaster, somewhat helpless, let it go; he couldn't stay mad at this monkey.

After all, he was his most outstanding disciple!

"I want Bull Demon King's noodles."

The Grandmaster declared.

Sun Wukong was stunned, "Master, how do you know?"

"It's all over Huaguo Mountain."

The Grandmaster replied.

"Then we'll have to wait until tomorrow," Sun Wukong said. "His shop has been too popular lately; reservations are required."

Bull Demon King's noodle shop was always packed. To compete, the noodle shops in Wanling City were cutting prices to attract customers, and even many restaurants were vying for business.

"I know some tasty noodle shops, I'll take you there."

Sun Wukong offered.

Master Puti nodded.

He looked around at the streets, bustling with numerous shops and a constant flow of people.

"One year."

Master Puti reflected internally, "Just one year."

In a single year, Wanling City had grown so prosperous. A hundred years from now would be unimaginable.

On their way to the noodle shop, Master Puti suddenly said, "I heard you recently took an interesting Independent Immortal as a disciple."

"How does Master know even this?"

Sun Wukong was truly surprised.

"You have a brother working under Emperor Donghua."

After saying this, Master Puti inquired, "He achieved the status of an Independent Immortal by relying on a demon core, not his own power, but you value him highly. Why is that?"

"Research."

Sun Wukong answered, realizing he had so many fellow disciples.

The person Master Puti referred to was Yang Mingyuan.

Yang Mingyuan wasn't quite an Independent Immortal, but he wasn't far from it. However, his power didn't come from his own cultivation but from a demon core.

It was the demon core his wife gave him before she died.

"You always like to engage in interesting things."

Master Puti stroked his beard and commented.

The two arrived at the noodle shop and ordered two bowls.

"Master, I want to continue learning more abilities."

Sun Wukong said to Master Puti, "Can you teach me?"

Picking up his chopsticks, the Grandmaster said, "You're now a Heavenly Venerate; once one way is understood, all ways become clear. Extra skills are of no use to you, what do you want them for?"

"I want to exhaustively study all Daoist skills."

Sun Wukong replied, "Perhaps I'll find their patterns and recreate them."

Master Puti was taken aback, then he laughed, "If that's the case, I will teach you."

Sun Wukong was full of gratitude.

Just then, a girl walked into the shop.

"Are you a servant girl of Water Moon Fairy?"

Sun Wukong noticed her and spoke.

The girl trembled, turning to look at him stiffly.

This voice, why was this scourge here?

"Are you here to buy food to take back?"

Sun Wukong asked.

The girl timidly nodded.

"Boss, prepare eighty bowls of noodles for her," Sun Wukong told the shopkeeper. "Water Moon Fairy eats a lot. We'll add more if it's not enough."

"You got it!"

The shopkeeper immediately got to work.

"Eighty bowls, eighty people!"

He thought gleefully, "From now on, serving Water Moon Fairy alone would suffice for business."

After that, rumors quietly spread through Wanling City that Water Moon Fairy alone could sustain a shop.
