Chapter 138 The Mysterious Cuiyun Peak
Cuiyun Peak is one of the most mysterious peaks in Beimang Mountain. Until now, no one has been able to fully explore Cuiyun Peak.

Even setting foot on Cuiyun Peak is an extremely dangerous act. The last time Cuiyun Peak was explored was seven years ago. At that time, a team of more than a dozen Three-Awakening practitioners climbed Cuiyun Peak with a mission, and they never returned since then, disappearing quietly.

Since then, the Heavenly Court Army has never organized anyone to explore Cuiyun Peak again.

After Chen Guan and his team dealt with the Blood Phoenix, there were less than two days left before the task was completed.

This was naturally not a problem for them. They were not planning to hand in the mission anyway. Time passed, and as long as they could pass the level and enter the Cuiyun Peak within the validity period of the mission, it would be fine.

If there is a chance to hunt the Holy Horned White Deer, they will not miss any opportunity.

Of course, the three of them did not dare to approach Cuiyun Mountain, but just waited for an opportunity outside the mountain. Perhaps the holy white deer with holy horns would come down from the mountain.

This time even Chen Guan had no way out. Although the Holy Horned White Deer was a single specimen, killing it was more difficult than killing three peerless secret spirits. It all depended on luck.

The three of them waited at the foot of the mountain, hoping to see the white deer coming down the mountain.

After waiting for a whole day, they still didn't see the white deer. Instead, they heard a strange whirring sound coming from Cuiyun Mountain, which scared all three of them.

"What's that sound? It sounds like a hurricane roaring through a mountain stream. But it's a sunny day and there's not even a breeze. Where does the hurricane come from?" An Yiqi stretched his neck to look up at Cuiyun Mountain, but unfortunately he couldn't make out what was going on.

The sound continued rhythmically, as if a giant was breathing. It did sound like the sound of airflow, but there was indeed no wind around.

"Legend has it that people who go up Cuiyun Mountain will disappear without a trace, and neither will their bodies be found after their death. There must be something extremely terrifying in that mountain. No matter what happens, we should not go up the mountain, but just stay here." The guard hurriedly warned the two of them not to take the risk of going up the mountain.

Chen Guan had no such thoughts at all. After listening for a while, the sound was still continuous, so he no longer paid attention to it and practiced a secret method here.

He discovered that the vitality near Cuiyun Peak was particularly rich, many times richer than that of Phoenix Mountain, which was not far away. The Shengdeng Mountain that Chen Guan had visited before was far from comparable.

However, this rich vital energy is only limited to the area near Cuiyun Mountain. If the distance is a little further, the vital energy becomes very thin.

Moreover, every time he practiced, Chen Guan could smell a faint fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose, which made him very suspicious whether there were any rare treasures on Cuiyun Mountain.

Chen Guan heard that there was a rare treasure called "Ethereal Sword Orchid" that could spread its fragrance for ten miles when it bloomed. Anyone who could smell its fragrance could improve their swordsmanship talent or even directly comprehend the sword intent.

It can enlighten those who are ignorant of sword principles and make those with outstanding sword talents become extraordinary. It is a rare treasure in the secret realm and has the reputation of being the best orchid in the world.

Unfortunately, the ethereal sword orchid can only be encountered within the cave, and there is no such treasure in the blessed land.

Chen Guan was wondering whether the fragrance he smelled was emitted by a kind of natural treasure similar to the ethereal sword orchid, which was why the vitality near Cuiyun Peak was so rich.

However, this doubt did not get an answer, because after he asked Men Dui and An Yiqi, they both said that they did not smell any fragrance, nor did they feel that the vitality here was richer than outside.

"This is strange." Chen Guan thought to himself, the vital energy absorbed by the secret method will not lie, the vital energy here is indeed richer than outside, but why can't Men Dui and An Yiqi sense it?
Chen Guan was puzzled, but he had no intention of exploring the situation. He cared more about his own life than satisfying his curiosity.

"The mission time is almost up. There are a lot of pheasants and rabbits on the mountain, but I haven't seen any white deer." An Yiqi was a little anxious.

"Why are you so anxious?" Chen Guan sat there, not anxious at all, and asked An Yiqi calmly.

"The mission time is almost up." An Yiqi said.

"We're here, so what's the big deal?" Chen Guan said with a smile.

An Yiqi was stunned and opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly he understood.

They had no intention of handing in the mission, so the mission time had nothing to do with them. They had already swiped the mission card to come in, and they just had to stay until they caught the Holy Horned White Deer. Time was no longer a constraint for them.

An Yiqi slapped his head and chuckled, "I hadn't figured it out before. I always thought we had to kill the Holy Horned White Deer before the mission was over. Now that you've said that, I've realized we don't have to worry about time at all."

"That's right. Whether it's two days, ten days, or a month, we just wait here until the Holy White Deer comes down. It's just a mission overtime. It's just a matter of penalty points. Are we afraid of penalty points?" Chen Guan said with a smile.

"If you say so, then I won't be anxious anymore." An Yiqi sat down. This time he was really not anxious at all.

The three of them didn't care about the time and just hid at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the Holy White Deer to appear.

Strangely enough, the eerie sound, like a giant's breathing, always persists for a while every hour.

But there was no movement at all. In fact, the plants on Cuiyun Mountain were like those in a landscape painting. As long as no animals touched them, they would not even move.

Every time the strange sound was heard, Chen Guan would feel that his vitality became richer and the fragrance became stronger, and his practice of the secret method would be twice as effective with half the effort.

But Men Dui and An Yiqi still didn't feel anything, which made Chen Guan even more confused.

"Why worry about so many things? The right thing to do is to practice as soon as possible." Chen Guan practiced wholeheartedly, hoping to reach level 10 as soon as possible.

After guarding the foot of the mountain for seven or eight days, Chen Guan was practicing one day when he suddenly felt someone pulling his sleeve. He opened his eyes and saw that it was An Yiqi who was pulling him excitedly with his other hand, pointing in the direction of Cuiyun Mountain.

Chen Guan looked intently and saw a white deer, completely white and as if not stained by a speck of dust, leisurely strolling in the woods.

It has a strong body, and its size is not inferior to that of the Zhaoye Lion Horse. It has a pair of coral-like antlers on its head, which are crystal clear and seem to have countless fluorescent lights flashing inside.

If you don't look at its eyes, this white deer is truly pure and perfect, but it has a pair of blood-red eyes that occupy the entire eye sockets, making this originally holy body look indescribably evil.
