“It’s four o’clock! We’d better get up!”
Ma Fangfang looked at the clock on the wall and quickly got up. She took her clothes and put them on.
“You’d better leave soon! It’s not good if people suspect you!”
She turned around and helped Tang Hao adjust his collar.
Tang Hao did not leave immediately. Instead, he sat down on the sofa and patted the seat beside him. “Sit down!”
“What’s wrong?” Ma Fangfang was startled.
“I have something to tell you!” Tang Hao said.
“Oh!”
She responded and obediently sat down, looking at Tang Hao curiously.
Tang Hao told her everything about his past experiences and everything about cultivators.
Ma Fangfang’s small mouth opened slightly in astonishment.
However, she did not doubt Tang Hao. From his formidable martial arts skills and miraculous medical skills, she knew that he was not mundane.
“Do you… want to learn?”
Tang Hao looked at her and asked.
“What? Learn what?” Fangfang was a little stunned.
“Learn to cultivate!”
“Can I?” Fangfang’s beautiful eyes lit up in excitement.
“Of course! Here, these are for you!”
Tang Hao took out a set of pills and handed it over. Then, he introduced its functions to her in detail.
“Remember, eat it at home! After taking this pill, it will have a similar effect to the Jade Bone Pill,” Tang Hao reminded her.
Then, he taught her some basic cultivation techniques.
“Mm! I’ve memorized it!”
She nodded, so excited that her face turned red.
“If there’s anything you don’t understand, remember to call me!”
“I know! Hurry up and leave!” She looked at the time and urged.
After tidying up their clothes, the two went downstairs.
A few days later, Westridge was bustling again.
Countless celebrities and tycoons from all over the world gathered in that small county town once again.
The attention of the media from all over the world was focused on that place.
This time, the auction was even more intense than the last one. In the end, the five thousand fish garnered a total of 2.5 billion yuan.
After that, twenty thousand Fantasy Fish were supplied to New Magical Kitchen branches all across Huaxia, which caused another great sensation.
Tang Hao decided to stay in Westridge until the National Day holiday ended. During that time, Ma Fangfang had successfully cultivated to the middle period. He also taught her many sorcery spells.
He had originally planned to return on the 8th of the month, but on the 7th, he received a call from Mao Mountain.
“Good news, Brother Tang!”
On the other end of the phone, Taoist Master Qian Ji sounded excited.
“What is it?” Tang Hao was surprised.
“Ha! Aren’t you looking for rare and exotic beasts? Now… there’s good news!”
“Really?” Tang Hao said happily.
“Isn’t that so! Mao Mountain has a lot of wanderers, and someone will eventually find something. However, he’s not very sure about it. He only found some clues.”
“Where is it?” Tang Hao asked anxiously.
“Shennongjia Forest! Do you know? He’s not too sure, but it’s probably a deer. Let’s go and take a look!”
“OK! I’ll come right away!”
After informing Qin Xiangyi, Tang Hao quickly rushed to Mao Mountain. He met up with Taoist Master Qian Ji and several other old Taoist masters, and they went to Shennongjia Forest.
They met with the Taoist master in a village on the outskirts of Shennongjia.
“It was quite a lucky coincidence! I happened to wander here and heard about the legend of the auspicious beast, so I went into the mountains to investigate. You know, such legends usually have some basis.
“Shennongjia is too big. I wandered around the mountains for a few days but found nothing. I was almost ready to go home.
“That night, I slept fitfully next to a mountain stream. Suddenly, I heard the call of an animal. When I opened my eyes, I saw a five-colored light drifting through the mountain stream.
“I tried to look at it closely and saw that it was a deer. A five-colored deer. That’s the auspicious beast in the village legend.
“That deer is unbelievably fast. After it sensed my presence, it ran away in the blink of an eye. I could not catch up at all.
“I camped there for the next two days, but I never saw that deer again.”
“Five-colored deer?” Taoist Master Qian Ji rubbed his chin and furrowed his brows.
After pondering for a long time, he muttered, “It must be delicious!”
“That’s right!”
The old Taoist masters nodded in agreement. They were already drooling.
Tang Hao immediately burst into laughter.
Then, he revealed a thoughtful look.
The five-colored deer was indeed an exotic beast. It had been mentioned in many Huaxianese legends.
Of course, like other exotic beasts, it was almost extinct.
“If it really is a five-colored deer, it won’t be easy to deal with!” Taoist Master Qian Ji said.
Tang Hao also nodded with a solemn expression.
It was said that that five-colored deer was extremely fast, and they might not be able to catch up with it.
“Perhaps we should set a trap?” Taoist Master Qian Ji said.
“Traps won’t work, right? It must be very intelligent. However, we can lure it out. Let’s try and see if we can catch it.”
After discussing for a while, they entered the mountains.
After traveling for a few hours, they arrived at the mountain stream.
The group of people searched around but did not find anything.
Tang Hao found a good spot and planted a piece of hundred-year-old ginseng there.
The five-colored deer was a herbivorous exotic beast. It loved spiritual items like ginseng and lingzhi the most.
From afar, it could smell the fragrance of the ginseng.
“Alright! Now we just have to wait!”
Tang Hao clapped his hands and stood up. He led the Taoist masters away, and they laid in ambush, using a jade talisman to conceal their presence.
That ambush lasted for several hours. The sky gradually darkened until it was pitch black.
Late at night, at the other end of the mountain stream, a ray of light suddenly flashed.
The light had five colors. It was the five-colored deer!
That flash of light flew over lightly like a gust of wind. It was incredibly fast.
When it came close, it stopped. It emitted a five-colored aura, and it looked divine and magnificent. No wonder the villagers thought that it was an auspicious beast.
“Why does it look so good? I can’t bear to eat it!” Taoist Master Qian Ji muttered to himself.
Tang Hao was secretly delighted. That beast’s cultivation base was very high. It would be a good ingredient for making pills!
The meat should also be very nutritious.
The deer strolled over with a vigilant expression.
It was very intelligent, so it knew that the ginseng was not there a few days ago. That was why it was wary of its surroundings.
However, after hesitating for a long time, it could not resist the temptation. In the end, it rushed toward the ginseng, grabbed it, and turned around.
“Where do you think you’re going!”
Tang Hao shouted and suddenly chased after it.
“Don’t run, meat!”
The old Taoist masters jumped up and chased after it. Their eyes were sparkling with gluttony as they looked at the deer.
The deer turned its head and was startled. It ran even faster.
Its speed was simply incredible.
Instantly, it outran them.
Tang Hao chased with all his might. ‘Dammit! Why is this animal so fast?’ He wanted to curse out loud.
After running for a while, the deer stopped and turned around to look at its pursuers.
Its eyes narrowed mockingly.
“F*ck!”
Tang Hao and the Taoist masters were about to explode. The deer actually mocked them!
