Wu Longzi urgently notified Shi Sheng, saying the White Deer had arrived.

Shi Sheng came out to see, and the White Deer had a Black Dog Nail embedded in its flank. He exclaimed in shock, "Someone is trying to kill him."

Wu Longzi told him to watch the White Deer while he himself flew into the air and surveyed the surroundings, quickly inspecting the mountains and waters on both banks of the Yuan River, but he encountered no suspicious figures.

Shi Sheng pulled out the Black Dog Nail which bore an Evil Skill curse. He broke the curse, then extracted the poison and applied Spiritual Medicine.

While being treated, the White Deer lay there the entire time without struggling. Seeing how sensible it was, Shi Sheng's heart ached, and he continuously spoke to comfort it.

That Black Dog Nail was forged with an extremely sinister Evil Skill. Fortunately, the White Deer had found this place, and after being treated, its flesh began to heal. In less than half a day, it had fully recovered.

This time, the White Deer truly acknowledged Shi Sheng as its master. It trotted and leaped around him, even gesturing for Shi Sheng to get on its back, then carried Shi Sheng as it ran.

The space within the temple was limited, and seeing that it wanted to go outside, Shi Sheng said, "Go wherever you want, with me here, I want to see who dared to hurt you. If I do see them, I'll help you take revenge!"

The White Deer then carried Shi Sheng out of Bitter Bamboo Temple, galloping down Big Bear Ridge and racing through the forests.

It ran swiftly, eventually arriving at a mountain hollow on the southern bank of the Yuan River and found five Lingzhi, which it picked up and presented to Shi Sheng.

Shi Sheng, seeing the gifts, was delighted beyond words, gathering the Lingzhi and again dashing through the mountains on the back of the deer.

The White Deer did not lead him to the enemy who had used the Black Dog Nail on him, instead, it rushed back to Bitter Bamboo Temple.

Having acquired this deer, Shi Sheng was extremely happy, and he took it to the East Garden to meet with Ganoderma Immortal and Stone Rhinoceros, where they all ran and played among the Jade Flowers and Strange Grasses.

Shi Sheng needed to perform his morning and evening lessons, and every day he had to cultivate for at least eight hours. Sometimes, he still had to practice Spells and swordsmanship.

When he was not around, the White Deer stayed with Ganoderma Immortal and Stone Rhinoceros.

But one night, when everyone was cultivating at midnight, Bitter Bamboo Temple was entirely silent.

Suddenly, the White Deer stood up, went to Ganoderma Immortal, who thought it had discovered something. However, the deer opened its mouth and exhaled a burst of five-colored smoke.

Ganoderma Immortal reacted quickly, raising its little hand and shooting ten streams of green Light Energy, cultivated through the He Sha Book. It used Jia Wood Essence.

Being more playful and not as diligent in cultivation as Shi Feiyang and born from Plant Spirits, it naturally had a weaker soul. Though the ten streams of green Energy were sizable, they formed a fence that completely protected it, blocking the five-colored smoke from reaching it.

"What are you doing?" Ganoderma Immortal shouted.

The White Deer did not expect him to be so powerful and hurriedly exhaled even more five-colored smoke, which spread close to the ground like a tide. Just as Ganoderma Immortal was about to escape underground, the White Deer revealed a small banner from its belly. Once activated, the banner also trapped the ground, enveloping Ganoderma Immortal with the converging five-colored smoke.

Normally, poison fog would not harm this thousand-year-old Ganoderma Immortal, but the banner carried a curse that attacked the Primordial Spirit. Ganoderma Immortal could not withstand it and stumbled nearly falling.

The White Deer then wrapped Ganoderma Immortal in the five-colored smoke, inhaling it entirely into its stomach.

Having captured Ganoderama Immortal, it did not linger and immediately fled the temple by night, leaping over the gate in a single bound.

Stone Rhinoceros, unlike Ganoderma Immortal, had its nest underground and had received teachings from Shi Feiyang. Only on the fifteenth of each month would it stand on the high Spirit Stone, glancing at the Moon to gather its essence, usually dwelling in its cave.

Hearing the noise, it hurried over, only to see White Deer running out. It emitted a long cry, commanding the White Deer to stop, but the White Deer just kept running.

Stone Rhinoceros snorted and spat out the Thunder Sound Cones given to him by Shi Feiyang.

"Crack!" With the sound of thunder, the twin cones shot out, aiming at the fleeing White Deer from behind. Stone Rhinoceros, not fully aware of the situation and not having seen the White Deer swallow Ganoderma Immortal, merely sensed something was wrong and wanted to sound an alarm. Thus, the cones, although directed at the White Deer, did not strike its body.

The White Deer narrowly escaped with its life, for had the Thunder Sound Cones hit it, it surely would have died on the spot!

The noise alerted the others in the temple. The first to rush out was Lin Han who, seeing Stone Rhino galloping toward the ridge, did not know what had happened and hurried after it.

Then Shi Sheng also came out, chasing after Lin Han.

Meanwhile, the White Deer, having exhaled five-colored smoke around itself, did not run on the ground anymore but took flight, speeding close to the ground through dense forests, crossing deep ravines, and over hills, ultimately arriving at a cave abode.

It landed at the cave entrance and spoke in human language, "Master, I have returned!"

Two Daoist boys welcomed it inside.

The White Deer hurried inside to a vast cave, about an acre in size, where a gaunt black-robed Daoist stood. He had a bluish complexion, bulging eyes, a hooked nose, and his face bore an intimidating fierceness that made him dreadful to behold.

The White Deer knelt, curling its limbs, and said, "Master! I have already stolen the Ganoderma Immortal."

With that, it exhaled the five-colored smoke, and Ganoderma Immortal rolled onto the ground, still dazed.

Seeing the infant-like flesh of the Ganoderma, the Daoist's face showed a hint of pleasure, "Tsk, tsk, very good, exactly what I needed. Go and rest."

He was about to closely examine Ganoderma Immortal when his expression suddenly changed to fury, "You rascal, I sent you to steal the flesh of the Ganoderma, how dare you lead the enemy here?"
