Even though the naive disciple didn’t know he was being led into a trap, he still did his best to argue the case.
Feng Jiu had just now dug up the spirit herb, stored it in the space, and started aiming at two other spirit herbs. “These two are excellent, too.”
“Predecessor…” Uncertain of what to do, the disciple’s cheeks flushed with anxiety like an ant on a stovetop.
“Don’t worry, I’ll leave once I’ve dug up two more plants.” Feng Jiu said without looking up. After unearthing the two spirit herbs, she dusted off her hands with contentment, brushed the dirt from her clothes, and got up.
“Fine, fine. I’ll stop digging so you don’t cry later.” Feng Jiu gave the disciple a smile and a pat on the shoulder.
“Predecessor…you have taken the three oldest spirit herbs here. How should Disciple explain it if the Venerable comes?” The disciple asked with his eyes reddened and his face contorted in worry.
“Just tell him the truth. Don’t worry, your Venerable Master won’t vent his anger on you.” She said as she proceeded towards Wanyan Qianhua. “Big Sister, let’s go look somewhere else!”
“All right, let’s go somewhere else.” Wanyan Qianhua smiled and walked out from the medicinal field with her.
“Venerable Si Que’s palace still has many treasures. Would you like to have another look?” Wanyan Qianhua asked.
“These spirit herbs are worth more than any treasure.” Feng Jiu smiled gently. “Let’s go take a look at Mu Xin’s peak! Does he have good things?”
“Oh, Venerable Mu Xin! Even though he has no medicinal fields, he raises two Violet Gold Spirit Deer. They are quite lovely.I’ll take you to see them. Those two deer are incredibly spirited, just like humans, and he cherishes them.”
Feng Jiu was astonished. “Violet Gold Spirit Deer? Impossible, right? It is an extremely rare giant spirit deer. It is said to be a spirit beast that feeds on gold and jade, extremely precious. I’ve been to many forests, but I have never seen the Violet Gold Spirit Deer.”
“Yes, exactly. Venerable Mu Xin treated them with such care precisely because they were exceedingly rare. You have no idea how much time and effort he has put into those two Violet Gold Spirit Deer. According to hearsay, he raises these two deer from cubs to maturity with tremendous care. Additionally, these two Violet Gold Spirit Deer only eat gold and jade.”
Feng Jiu’s eyes lit up with excitement. “I’d really like to see them. I’ve only seen it in books about beasts. I’ve yet to meet one in person!”
Wanyan Qianhua remarked with a chuckle, “However, even if you are interested, he may not be willing to offer you these two deer!”
“Hehe, I’ll just take a quick look!” She flashed a sly grin. If it was the Violet Gold Spirit Deer, she would have to find a way to get it. She was sure that he would be willing to trade with her because she had a lot of valuable things.
They arrived at Mu Xin’s summit and proceeded to the main peak. Those disciples saluted her and respectfully greeted her as Predecessor. The two of them went inside right away. Led by Wanyan Qianhua, she reached the place where two deer were kept.
“Look, they’re right here. Venerable Mu Xin set up a boundary here to keep the two deer from running away.”Wanyan Qianhua beckoned her to look ahead.
When Feng Jiu looked ahead, her eyes sparkled. She could tell they were precious and unusual deer with just one look!
