Longevity: After Six Thousand Years, The Diary Was Exposed - Chapter 54 - Chapter 54 – How Many Truly Claim the Prize

The diary continued to be revealed!

Yan Changkong quickly suppressed his thoughts and looked at the glowing screen.

The matter of the Calming Essence Pill would have to wait.

He thought inwardly, “Who knows, maybe there are even better business opportunities in the diary?”

At this moment, the diary had finished updating on the screen.

Immortal Emperor’s Diary, Page 28:

[So refreshing!]

[Yurou and I stood on a lotus platform artifact, riding the wind and waves, soaring across the nine heavens, gliding through the sea of clouds.]

[At that moment, I suddenly felt a deep emotion…]

[Looking at the endless azure sky, like the reflection of the sea, Yurou’s skirt fluttering beside me — a classic scene flashed across my mind.]

[I reached out and gently wrapped my arm around Yurou’s waist.]

[Soft and delicate, as if boneless.]

[I thought to myself: to roam the world freely with the one I love — is this not the meaning of life itself? Why bother ascending to the Heavenly Realm?]

[We flew higher and higher.]

[Reaching the top of the tallest tower in Liuyun City, where we could overlook the masses below, with everything within hundreds of miles in clear view!]

[Yurou was thrilled, her tender face flushed with a red glow. It seemed she’d never done anything this wild before?]

[Then, I suddenly had a bold idea…]

[Time to spice things up!]

[Kekekeke!]

[While Yurou was still caught off guard, I suddenly pulled her into my arms and kissed her deeply!]

[She was tense and flustered at first, her body stiff.]

[But she soon relaxed, even enjoying it. If not for a cultivator flying past on a sword… ahem!]

[Afterward, we laughed crazily. What a thrill.]

[Then…]

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

[I just wanted to hunt a few spirit beasts for some nourishment and maybe gather some herbs for alchemy.]

[A day later, we arrived at the mountain range.]

[After finding a cave on a mountaintop to settle in, I went out to set some traps for the beasts and waited quietly.]

[I wasn’t planning to act directly — better safe than sorry.]

[Who knew luck would be so absurdly good!]

[By evening, one of the traps had already caught a third-rank spirit beast—Red Sun Deer!]

[I was overjoyed!]

[This was exactly what I needed — something that could tonify yin and yang, strengthen the kidneys, and boost… protein!]

[That night, I made several dishes from the Red Sun Deer.]

[Deer bones and tail simmered into soup; the rest grilled, pan-fried, braised, steamed, and even hotpot.]

[This thing works wonders! I instantly felt my waist loosen, my legs stop aching — my whole body was burning, with a fire in my lower abdomen!]

[I became vigorous and powerful again…]

[That night, I rekindled my manly pride, felt utterly exhilarated, and little Yurou retreated step by step, begging for mercy…]

[One word — satisfying!]

[What I didn’t expect was… the next morning, another trap brought an even bigger surprise!]

The diary entry ended there.

It was quite a long one.

Although it was just a record of Lin Feng and Yuan Ruoyu’s romantic escapades, with no mention of cultivation…

Still…

Even with all his foresight, Lin Feng likely never imagined that this particular entry would cause such a massive uproar in the cultivation world!

It directly led to the Red Sun Deer becoming nearly extinct!

Its market price skyrocketed, multiplying several times over.

After reading the diary, cultivators all across the land were in an uproar.

Discussions exploded everywhere.

“The Red Sun Deer has that kind of miraculous effect? Boosting yin and yang and even protein?”

“Wait, what’s protein anyway?”

“Who cares? If the Immortal Emperor says it’s good, how bad can it be?”

“I know where some are — I’m going to catch a few myself later!”

“Fellow Daoist, shall we go together? Red Sun Deer aren’t strong, but they’re wary and super fast. Hard to catch without a group!”

“I’ve been skinny and frail since birth — this is definitely what I need!”

In an instant, sects, families, and powers across the world sprang into action.

Everyone started sending people into the wilderness — a great hunt for the deer.

—

Meanwhile, back in Liuyun City, Central Region…

Aside from discussions about catching Red Sun Deer, many cultivators had also turned their attention to the Flowing Cloud Tower that reached the clouds above.

Flowing Cloud Tower had a mysterious and ancient origin.

It’s said that it was already there when the city was founded—built to suppress a Demon Emperor who once invaded the human race.

But nowadays, no one knows if that’s true anymore.

At this moment, many young cultivator couples had unknowingly gathered at Flowing Cloud Tower.

Very soon, it was packed to the brim!

Many could only watch from afar, whispering to their companions.

“Those guys are too fast—they’ve filled up the whole tower top!”

“Too bad, I was hoping to imitate the Immortal Emperor with you… hehehe.”

“Look at them! So shameless, kissing right in front of everyone—what if no one was watching?!”

“The world’s going to ruin. No sense of public decency.”

“Ahem… how about we head to the Liuyun Mountains too? If we catch a Red Sun Deer, I’ll have you begging for mercy!”

“Tch, you think you’re the Immortal Emperor?”

Many excited cultivators, upon seeing the crowd, could only turn around and leave.

One couple after another set their sights on the Liuyun Mountains, leaving the city together—hoping for a bit of luck.

If they could catch a Red Sun Deer too, that’d be amazing!

And if not, they still had to hurry. At this rate, even the caves would be taken.

…

Jade Pool Holy Land.

Yuan Ruoyu finished reading the diary, her expression strange, lost in thought for a long while.

A blush spread across her fair and delicate face.

She didn’t know how to describe her current feelings—a sweet nostalgia, mixed with deep embarrassment.

“That scoundrel… really dared to write this stuff!!”

After a long silence, Yuan Ruoyu muttered through clenched teeth, her face even redder.

At the same time, a bit of indignation rose in her heart!

“When did I ever retreat step by step and beg for mercy?” she scoffed in her heart.

“Shameless bragging!”

That said, she had grown used to it by now. She was no longer flustered or mortified like she was at the beginning.

She had to adapt eventually!

And now that she was used to it, reading the diary and learning what Lin Feng had been thinking at the time—it was kind of fun.

It sparked her emotions and memories.

All in all, that tender embrace at the top of Flowing Cloud Tower remained deeply imprinted in her memory.

And at that moment, after reading this particular diary entry—the elders of the Holy Land tactfully excused themselves.

None of them dared to comment on their Holy Lord’s love life.

Old Green had already learned that lesson—he was still off repairing formations to this day!

…

Liyue Immortal Dynasty.

At this moment, Ye Qingge was lounging in her bedchamber. She wore a loose, flowing gown, reclining lazily atop her opulent dragon bed.

Her smooth, snowy legs stretched out before her, fully exposed.

The front of her robe was slightly open, and beneath the soft morning light, her magnificent curves were a breathtaking sight—a sight to behold.

Suddenly—

“Hmph!”

A cold snort shattered the silence of the palace chamber.

Ye Qingge’s eyes were full of grievance as she furiously squeezed a little leather figurine of “Lin Feng,” muttering nonstop:

“I’m issuing an imperial edict to the Beast-Taming Bureau—raise a few hundred thousand Red Sun Deer! I’ll have you eat one every day!”

“Let’s see if you’re really so ‘dragon-vigorous and tiger-fierce’!”

She sneered coldly, then added:

“If you dare deceive your Empress… I’ll have you castrated!”

With that, she gave the puppet a vicious squeeze right between the legs.

Ye Qingge was a bold and decisive woman.

Very soon, the Empress’s decree was issued—

The Beast-Taming Bureau of the Liyue Immortal Dynasty mobilized in full force, grandly sweeping the lands in search of Red Sun Deer.

To other cultivators, this move confirmed the Red Sun Deer’s value, and they joined the hunt with even more zeal.

Years later— Red Sun Deer would be nearly extinct across the cultivation world.

Only a few powerful factions had them in captivity.

Meanwhile, in the Profound Azure Sect of Azure Region.

After reading the diary, Yan Changkong suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He slapped his thigh in excitement!

“This is it—this will definitely work!”
