Zhou Ye ignored the white deer.
He emptied his heart and started cultivating.
Wisps of Qi started surrounding his roots. The roots were absorbing the Qi.
The Qi in the soil were quickly absorbed into the roots. The feeling it gave was cold.
To Zhou Ye, this was a comfortable feeling. He didn't feel weird at all.
The white deer snorted softly when it noticed that Zhou Ye had ignored it. It raised its hooves and started running towards the man with the big face.
It seemed to be looking for consolation.
The man with the big face smiled and hit the white deer's head.
"Go away. Don't disturb me. I'm reading."
"Grunt!"
The white deer grunted when he heard this and turned its head. It headed to the spirit field where the man planted all the spirit herbs.
The man with the big face widened his eyes when he saw where the white deer was heading.
"You bastard! Those are mine!" The man with the big face put down his ancient book and teleported right in front of the white deer instantly.
The white deer immediately changed its direction. It wanted to walk around the man.
However, the man with the big face moved faster than it. No matter where the white deer went, the man was always able to appear in front of it immediately.
The white deer had nowhere to go.
…
Zhou Ye was immersed in his cultivation.
He was able to cultivate very quickly in the spirit field.
Every minute, one all-purpose point would be earned.
It was scary.
Suddenly, he felt something wrapped around his hand.
He stopped his cultivation and opened his eyes to take a look.
The white deer was using its lips to grab his arm. Then, it pulled him out of the spirit field.
After that, the white deer rushed out of the yard.
"Brother, can you put me back?" How could Zhou Ye not know what the white deer was thinking when he saw its action?
Zhou Ye lifted his other leaf and patted the corner of the white deer's lip.
"Big brother, put me back? That place feels better."
Zhou Ye pointed at the spirit field.
The white deer pretended that it didn't hear anything. It disregarded Zhou Ye entirely.
It placed Zhou Ye under the old tree and stepped on Zhou Ye's roots. After pushing the roots back into the soil, it turned and vanished from Zhou Ye's sight.
Zhou Ye struggled to stand up. He looked at the yard with yearning in his eyes.
"Sigh, why does he only allow me to stay for an hour?" Zhou Ye scratched his head.
"The man with the big face still doesn't trust me."
Zhou Ye sighed in his heart.
He knew that the man with the big face for doing this for his sake. He was worried that Zhou Ye wasn't able to handle the strong Qi of heaven and earth.
But he had his cheat.
"How can I just stay for one hour at that comfortable place…"
"That's it! I can sneak in tonight and sneak out tomorrow morning!" Zhou Ye clapped his hands happily as he had thought of a great idea.
In the yard, the man with the big face saw the spirit herb clapping its hands. A mysterious smile appeared on his face.
"Little deer, come here."
"Grunt?" The white deer was puzzled. However, it still went forward.
The man with the big face whispered something to the white deer.
The white deer's eyes lit up. It nodded its head firmly.
When it was nodding, the antlers on its head almost hit the man's face.
Outside the yard.
Zhou Ye was cultivating seriously.
Before he reached manifestation, he didn't want to waste a single second.
When he was cultivating, time always passed very quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was night.
Zhou Ye just needed to raise his head slightly, and he would be able to see a sky full of stars.
Zhou Ye slowly pulled his roots out of the soil.
Silently.
He slowly walked towards the yard step by step.
In the yard.
The white deer that was supposed to be asleep suddenly raised its head. It glanced outside the yard and then lowered its head slightly before slowly shutting its eyes.
Zhou Ye didn't notice the white deer at all.
He continued walking towards the yard.
There was a fence around the yard as well as a small gate.
All of these didn't stop him. He bent his roots slightly and jumped up abruptly. With the help of his Xuan Qi, Zhou Ye jumped into the yard.
He looked at the white deer that was 'sleeping soundly'. Zhou Ye tiptoed on his roots and carefully walked into the spirit field.
"Heh heh." Zhou Ye sniggered.
He straightened his roots as though they were iron needles, preparing to stab into the soil.
Before he could stabilize himself, Zhou Ye noticed that something was amiss.
There was moonlight today and under the moonlight, he could see his own shadow.
Everything looked fine a moment ago but why did his shadow suddenly become so big?
Zhou Ye slowly turned around.
"You…"
"Slap."
Zhou Ye got a huge shock. He fell back on the spirit field immediately.
The white deer lifted the corners of its lips. It seemed to be smiling.
"Brother, will you believe me if I say that I came here to check if there were any thieves?" Zhou Ye was flustered.
The white deer opened its mouth and bit Zhou Ye. Then, it shook its head and released Zhou Ye from its lips, flinging Zhou Ye out of the yard.
Hmph, little brat.
The white deer looked up and ran back to its sleeping position. It laid down.
It wasn't planning to sleep tonight. It would watch over Zhou Ye.
Outside the yard.
Zhou Ye picked himself up from the ground.
"Why isn't it sleeping in the middle of the night? Does it have insomnia"
Zhou Ye shivered as he felt the cold night wind.
He returned to his old tree and buried himself in the soil. He started pondering.
How could he successfully sneak into the yard and cultivate in the spirit field?
The night passed very quickly.
When dawn broke, the white deer was still very energetic.
However, it was extremely bored.
It waited for an entire night, but Zhou Ye only came once early in the night. After that, he didn't come back. He just stayed under the old tree without moving.
The white deer was disappointed.
This fellow was too timid.
The white deer looked down on Zhou Ye. Then, it ran to the other spirit field and ate a piece of fiery red fruit.
After it finished eating the fruit, the white deer strolled towards the gate. It opened the gate and ran towards Zhou Ye.
It picked Zhou Ye up and went back into the yard.
It threw Zhou Ye roughly on the spirit field and ignored him.
"Are they allowing me to stay here for an hour a day or is the white deer giving me a chance today because I was too excited to enter the spirit field yesterday night?" Zhou Ye couldn't understand what its intention was.
Since he couldn't understand it, he stopped thinking about it.
Zhou Ye stabbed his roots into the soil. He started focusing on his cultivation.
…
In a blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Every day, early in the morning, the white deer would pick Zhou Ye up and throw him into the spirit field.
Then, an hour later, the white deer would throw Zhou Ye out of the yard right on time.
The white deer was always right on time.
Zhou Ye felt that the white deer was very stingy. He wouldn't die if he cultivated for another two minutes.
However, he also knew that this was for his own good.
Today, in the morning.
The man with the big face sat on the stone chair and read his book.
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked to his front.
Zhou Ye had just ended his cultivation and was being picked up by the white deer. This was the scene he saw.
"Slash!"
The space in front of the man with the big face tore open.
It tore like a piece of cloth, sharp and clean.
The space that got torn formed a circular gateway. It was pitch black inside.
The white deer froze on the spot and stared at the black hole.
Zhou Ye was glaring at the hole intently too.
"Swoosh!"
A ray of blue light shot out of the black hole.
The man with the big face lifted his hand, managing to catch a ray of blue light between two of his fingers.
It was a blue object that looked like a book. Zhou Ye saw the man with the big face opening the book.
After that, an old voice was heard coming from the book.
"My friend, I will be turning 800,000 years old tomorrow. I will be holding a banquet in my Taoist temple. Please allow me to invite you."
"In that case, I will definitely visit you." The man with the big face nodded his head seriously.
After the man with the big face accepted the invitation, the blue book turned into a flash of gold light and dispersed.
The space that was shattered was immediately patched the moment the book left. In an instant, everything turned back to normal.
"Little deer, my old friend is having a banquet for his birthday tomorrow. Do you want to go together?" The man with the big face turned and looked at the white deer.
The white deer lowered its head and thought for a moment. In the end, it shook its head.
"Alright. You can watch over the house." The man with the big face didn't blame the white deer when it didn't want to go. He just nodded.
"I will go and prepare some gifts."
After he finished speaking, the man disappeared.
Zhou Ye finally regained his senses.
"800,000 years… how is he able to live for so many years?" Zhou Ye took a deep breath of carbon dioxide. He was in disbelief.
A human actually lived for 800,000 years.
Zhou Ye didn't need a brain to know that this must be a powerful cultivator.
Are the man's friends all so frightening?
