Chapter 54: Who Wants to Catch a Deer?

The diary continues to spill the beans!

Yan Changkong hurriedly brushed aside his thoughts and focused on the screen.

Let’s put the matter of the Serenity Pill on hold for now.

He thought to himself, “Maybe there are even more fantastic business opportunities in this diary?”

At that moment, the diary was updated on the screen.

Eternal Emperor’s Diary, Page 28:

[This is awesome!]

[I’m flying on a lotus treasure with Ruo Yu, cutting through the waves, soaring above the nine heavens, and weaving through the sea of clouds.]

[Suddenly, I felt something…]

[Looking at the endless azure sky, it was like a reflection of the sea, with Ruo Yu’s skirt swaying next to me, a classic scene popped into my mind.]

[I reached out and gently wrapped my arms around Ruo Yu’s waist!]

[A delicate grasp, soft as a feather.]

[I thought, to wander the world with the one I love, that’s fulfillment enough; who needs to ascend to the celestial realm?]

[We soared higher and higher.]

[Reaching the top of the tallest tower in Liuyun City, standing here, we can overlook the masses below, hundreds of miles spread out before our eyes!]

[Yuan Ruoyu was thrilled, a rosy glow on her fair face, as if she had never done anything this crazy before?]

[Suddenly, a daring idea struck me…]

[Let’s spice things up a bit!]

[Hehe!]

[Taking advantage of Ruo Yu’s surprise, I suddenly pulled her into my embrace and kissed her deeply!]

[At first, she was nervous, all stiff and excited.]

[But soon, she relaxed and even enjoyed it—if it weren’t for a passing cultivator on their sword… cough cough!]

[Afterward, we laughed heartily—it was too thrilling.]

[Later…]

[We left Liuyun City, heading west toward the Liuyun Mountain Range hundreds of miles away.]

[I wanted to hunt a few demon beasts for some nourishment, and see if I could find some spiritual herbs for pill-making.]

[A day later, we arrived at the Liuyun Mountain Range.]

[After settling in a cave at a mountain peak, I set up traps to catch demon beasts, waiting for my prey to take the bait!]

[I wasn’t planning on going hands-on—safety first.]

[Who knew luck would be this good!]

[In the evening, one of the traps caught a third-tier demon beast, the Crimson Sun Deer!]

[This made me absolutely ecstatic!]

[I needed this kind of nourishing, kidney-boosting, protein-packed demon beast! ]

[That night, I cooked up several fantastic dishes with the Crimson Sun Deer.]

[Deer bones and tails simmered in soup, with everything else barbecued, pan-fried, braised, steamed, and made into hot pot. ]

[This stuff was incredibly potent; I could immediately feel my waist no longer aching, legs pain-free, my body felt hot, and my lower abdomen seemed to have a fire burning!]

[I felt revitalized…]

[That night was a boost to my manly vigor; it was exhilarating, while little Ruo Yu retreated step by step, begging for mercy…]

[In a word: awesome!]

[What I hadn’t expected was that when I woke up the next day, another trap brought an even bigger surprise!]

This diary ends here.

It’s quite lengthy.

Though it records nothing but the lovey-dovey antics of Lin Feng and Que Ruyi, with no cultivation mentions at all.

But!

Even Lin Feng, no matter how crafty, probably couldn’t have predicted the huge uproar this diary would create in the cultivation world!

Leading to the Crimson Sun Deer being on the brink of extinction!

And the trading prices skyrocketed!

Multiplying several times over.

After all the cultivators across the land read it, there was an uproar.

Various discussions erupted everywhere.

“The Crimson Sun Deer has such amazing effects? Nourishes kidneys and boosts protein?”

“But wait, what is protein?”

“Who cares what it is! If the Eternal Emperor says it’s good, how bad could it be?”

“I know where to find them; I’ll go catch a few too!”

“Hey buddy, why not team up? The Crimson Sun Deer isn’t too strong, but it’s fast—can’t catch them without a few people!”

“I’ve been a skinny little twig since birth, so who knows, it might actually do wonders for me!”

In no time, various sects and families mobilized.

They all sent out teams to the mountains to catch deer.

The whole cultivation world staged a grand hunt for deers.

Meanwhile, in Liuyun City, Central State, plenty of cultivators not only discussed how to catch the Crimson Sun Deer but also cast their gazes at the towering Liuyun Tower.

Liuyun Tower has a mysterious and ancient background.

It is said that when Liuyun City was first built, the tower was already there, erected to suppress a demon emperor that invaded the human race.

However, nowadays, who knows the truth?

At this moment, several young couples spontaneously gathered at Liuyun Tower.

Before long, it was packed!

Many had to stand far off, quietly whispering among themselves.

“These folks are too fast—a whole tower top is covered!”

“What a pity, I came here hoping to learn from the Eternal Emperor, to… hehehe.”

“Look at them! Who’s got no shame? Kissing in front of so many people—imagine if no one was around?”

“Truly a decline in morals, not a care for the impact.”

“Cough, maybe we should go to Liuyun Mountain Range—if we can catch a Crimson Sun Deer, you’ll be begging for mercy!”

“Pfft, do you think you’re an emperor or something?”

Many cultivators showed up with high spirits but saw too many people and couldn’t squeeze in.

They had no choice but to turn and leave.

Couples shifted their gazes toward the Liuyun Mountain Range and exited the city together.

Hoping for a stroke of luck…

If they could catch a Crimson Sun Deer, it would be a big win!

Even if it didn’t work out, they should hurry—latecomers would probably find the caves all taken!

Jade Pool Sacred Land.

Yuan Ruoyu, after reading the diary, had an odd expression, lingering in her thoughts.

A rosy hue dusted her pale, delicate cheeks.

Unsure of how to express her current feelings, filled with sweet memories yet also a hint of shyness.

“That guy really dared to write all this!!”

After what felt like ages, Yuan Ruoyu murmured, her face reddening further.

Then, feeling a bit indignant, she coldly scoffed in her mind, “When did I ever beg for mercy?”

“What a shameless boast!”

Nevertheless, now Yuan Ruoyu was more accustomed—no longer the initial panic and embarrassment.

Adaptation was key!

Moreover, after she got used to it, reading the diary again and understanding Lin Feng’s thoughts back then felt quite amusing.

There was a strange vibe!

It even stirred her musings and recollections.

Overall, their deep embrace at Liuyun Tower left a lasting memory she couldn’t forget.

Meanwhile, after reading this diary, the elders of the sacred land all discreetly dispersed!

None dared to casually discuss the Holy Lord, and even Green Old Man was still busy configuring formations!

In the Liyue Celestial Dynasty!

Ye Qingge was currently in her chambers, wearing a loose long dress, lounging diagonally on her luxurious dragon bed.

Her fair, round legs were fully exposed.

Her collar was slightly undone, letting the spring light reveal a stunning landscape, nothing short of breathtaking.

“Humph!”

Suddenly, a cold ‘humph’ echoed in the silent chambers.

Ye Qingge’s eyes glimmered with resentment as her hands continuously pinched a small leather doll version of ‘Lin Feng’, mumbling incessantly:

“I’m going to order the Beast Management Office to raise several hundred thousand Crimson Sun Deers; then each day, one will meet its end for you!”

“Let’s see if it truly makes you feel so invigorated!”

Ye Qingge said this with a cold smile, adding, “Dare to disrespect me? I’ll have you… ahem you know what!”

As she said this, she pinched the little doll’s legs.

Ye Qingge was someone of decisive action.

Before long, the Empress’s edict was sent out.

The Beast Management Office of the Liyue Celestial Dynasty suddenly sprung into action, sweeping across the realm to capture Crimson Sun Deers in force.

This move, to other cultivators, undoubtedly confirmed the deer’s value and made them even more eager to capture them.

Years later…

The wild populations of Crimson Sun Deer in the whole cultivation realm went nearly extinct.

Only a few were left, raised by the major powers.

Meanwhile,

Far away in the Azure Prefecture, Xuanqing Sect…

After Yan Changkong finished reading the diary, a brilliant idea struck him!

He excitedly slapped his thigh!

Yan Changkong joyfully declared, “This will definitely work!”
