Yesterday, his father accidentally fell down while working and hit his head. He was bleeding and almost died. He was so scared that he thought of "Shopkeeper Ye" of Maple Leaf Medicine Shop and knocked on the door regardless of everything.

Shopkeeper Ye really helped him and only charged a small amount of money for the medicine.

But those expensive medicines were really expensive. The boy asked around and realized that even if he was sold as a slave, he couldn't afford one tenth of the money for the medicine.

A favor should be repaid with a spring!

The strong-willed boy had no way to repay, so he could only buy a bowl of chicken soup and wonton to show his gratitude.

The next moment, the boy felt that his hands were empty and the bowl of chicken soup and wonton was taken away.

He immediately showed a hint of gratitude and surprise.

Shopkeeper Ye, at this time, had already picked up the bowl of chicken soup and wonton, took a bite, and a faint smile of satisfaction appeared on his pale face.

Then, he pointed to the small medicine stove in the corner and said, "Acheng, the medicine has been boiled. Take this bowl back and give it to your father. If he has a good rest for a while, he will be back to normal."

As soon as these words came out, the young man was immediately excited and wanted to kowtow!

"No need to do that."

"Just take good care of your father."

"And..."

"You have already paid."

Shopkeeper Ye smiled faintly and raised the chicken soup and wonton in his hand, saying this.

The young man immediately had tears in his eyes, and he stopped kneeling, but bowed deeply to Shopkeeper Ye, and then carefully held the small medicine stove and left the medicine shop.

Shopkeeper Ye watched the boy leave, smiled faintly, sat down on the stool, and then slowly held the bowl of chicken soup wonton.

He knew that the boy seemed gentle and lively, but in fact he was strong-willed and unwilling to owe others friendship in vain, so he symbolically collected a little money yesterday, but for the boy, he still couldn't sleep at night, feeling that he owed too much.

This bowl of chicken soup wonton was earned by the boy who worked hard to help people wash clothes for most of the night, and his hands were frozen red.

Otherwise, how could the boy afford this bowl of chicken soup wonton?

He has never eaten it even once in his life.

In the eyes of the boy, this is the best reward.

Because the boy thinks that chicken soup wonton is the most delicious thing in the world!

Shopkeeper Ye chose to accept it.

He did not refuse and let the boy take the chicken soup and wonton back to his father or eat it himself.

Because Shopkeeper Ye knew that the boy was strong-willed by nature. If he did not want this bowl of chicken soup and wonton, the boy would always think about it, and it would become a burden in his heart over time. Even, as time goes by, it may slowly turn into an obsession.

So, he accepted the bowl of chicken soup and wonton.

Just to make the boy feel better and at ease.

Leaning against the chair, Shopkeeper Ye slowly ate the bowl of steaming chicken soup and wonton cleanly.

He put down the empty bowl.

Shopkeeper Ye looked calmly outside the medicine shop, as if looking at the entire Dengming City, his eyes became deep, and then he murmured to himself.

"Dengming City, Dengming City..."

"A thousand years of darkness, a light makes it bright."

"Who could have thought..."

"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, in this ordinary Dengming City, there once walked out a brilliant and amazing person who successfully stepped into the 'Seven-Step Saint King'!"

Shopkeeper Ye.

Naturally, it was Ye Wuque.

Two months ago, he came to this Dengming City quietly, opened a "Maple Leaf Medicine Shop" on Qingfeng Street, and became Shopkeeper Ye.

And what sent him here was the "Supreme Arrow" from the Tianling Patriarch.

It took nearly half a month to leave the ancient "tributary of the long river of time and space"!

In half a month, how far can the "Supreme Arrow" cross at its speed? ?

Ye Wuque had no idea.

He only knew that after the Supreme Arrow disappeared, he came to this Dengming City.

As for where exactly "Dengming City" belongs to? Is there a wider realm outside? A big realm?

He doesn't care, nor is he curious.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that he has returned to his own "present timeline", no longer the past, nor the future.

Knowing this is enough.

Because Ye Wuque knows that according to what the Tianling Patriarch said before, the "Supreme Arrow" will not send him to this ordinary strange city for no reason.

Therefore, in the first few days after arriving, he searched the entire Lantern City, leaving no corner untouched.

But in the end, he found that this Lantern City was really ordinary. Although there were spiritual beings, the highest level was just "ordinary gods".

Ye Wuque was not anxious after searching in vain, but became more patient.

He no longer insisted on finding the so-called answer as soon as possible, but began to carefully look for the history of this "Lantern City".

When you can't peek into the past from people, flowers, trees, walls and bricks may tell you the answer.

Finally, Ye Wuque gained something.

He found a little bit of history about the "Light City" and knew the reason for the strange name "Light City".

It was because of a sentence...

A thousand years of hints, a light will bring light!

This sentence came from a young creature who walked out of this city more than ten years ago.

At that time, this city was not called Light City.

Only after the young creature who was born and raised here became famous did this sentence spread, and the city was renamed... Dengming City.

Seven-step Saint King!

Once it is spread, it is enough to shock countless creatures, and countless worlds will be amazed by his amazing achievements!

On the road to the Saint King, he has stepped on the seventh step.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Dengming City was once very popular and prosperous, all because of this Seven-step Saint King.

But no matter how glorious the history is, it will be slowly submerged by time.

Years pass, and the world changes.

Hundreds of thousands of years later.

Dengming City, still called Dengming City, has long lost its former splendor. Now it has become just an ordinary city, and even mortals live in it.

What happened in the meantime?

Why did it happen?

Where did the young evil spirit of the Seven-Step Saint King who walked out of the "Dengming City" go?

No idea!

After Ye Wuque checked here, there was nothing left, as if it had come to an abrupt end.

Only the sentence "A thousand years of darkness, a lamp will illuminate" has been passed down.

But!

Ye Wuque can clearly determine one thing...

This history of the "Seven-Step Saint King" seems to have been artificially interfered with, or even erased!

Even the name of this "Seven-Step Saint King" has not been passed down.

Ye Wuque was not surprised but happy about this.

He was not afraid of ghosts, but of natural disappearance.

So.

There is a new Maple Leaf Medicine Shop on Qingfeng Street.

In the medicine shop, there is a new shopkeeper Ye.

No one could know how excited and expectant Ye Wuque was after he learned about the hometown where a "Seven-Step Sage King" really existed, and even after he successfully took that step in this "Dengming City"!

"This 'Dengming City' may be hiding some big secrets that have been buried for hundreds of thousands of years..."

"The big secret related to the 'Seven-Step Sage King'..."

Ye Wuque looked out with deep eyes.

Immediately, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he looked towards the most prosperous center of Dengming City, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Calculating the time, those local snakes should have discovered the 'handwriting' I left there..."
