The sun was setting.

The hunters in the mountains finished their day’s work and set off on their return journey.

They traveled in groups of twos and threes, dragging the catch of the day behind them.

Everything looked the same as usual.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the depths of the mountain forest. It was the roar of countless beasts.

At the edge of the forest, many people were startled. They turned around and looked in that direction.

When they listened carefully, their expressions changed drastically. They were all too familiar with this voice. It was those golden dinosaurs.

Did someone provoke those disastrous beasts again?

They were so scared that their entire bodies trembled.

Some time ago, an idiot had provoked the group of beasts and even led them out to the edge of the forest, causing the deaths of many people. They did not want to see a repeat of that disaster.

Instantly, many people ran away in panic.

At that moment, in the depths of the mountain forest, a pillar of light suddenly shot up into the sky.

The rainbow-colored pillar of light shone brilliantly and illuminated the twilight sky.

“Oh my god...”

Everyone was stunned.

“Treasure light! That’s treasure light! A great treasure has surfaced!” Someone shouted excitedly.

Then, everyone became excited.

The rainbow-colored light that could be seen all around had to be a great treasure.

“Hahaha! A great treasure has surfaced, and the chosen one will obtain it. I am the chosen one!”

Someone shouted, tossed his belongings aside, and rushed toward the pillar of light.

They were fanatically excited, having lost their rationality to the temptation of the treasure.

However, many other people hesitated and dared not go forward.

They knew that the treasure was located within the territory of the dinosaurs. No matter how powerful the treasure was, it could not be easily obtained. If they were not careful, they would lose their lives.

Moreover, even if they managed to obtain the treasure, they might lose it to someone else.

In the small town, countless people raised their heads and looked at the pillar of light in the mountain.

“Oh my god! A great treasure has appeared!”

“Ha! This’ll be interesting!”

The small town was in an uproar.

Countless people from the farther towns and cities raised their heads and looked at the sky.

“Rainbow-colored light? A great treasure has surfaced!”

On a mountain, an old man in a white robe suddenly stood up. His eyes sparkled as he looked into the distance. He stroked his long beard and was extremely excited.

“Gather all the elders for me and set off immediately. The treasure must belong to us, the East Peak sect.”

In a tribe, a man in a purple robe heard the exclamations outside and walked out of his room.

“It’s so beautiful!”

Looking at the rainbow-colored light in the sky, he exclaimed genuine praise from the bottom of his heart.

Then, he laughed out loud. “The great treasure shall lead our White Horse Tribe to prosperity! Gather all our troops, and we’ll set off immediately!”

All the factions within a thousand-mile radius were excited.

They could not wait to gather their troops and prepare to set off.

At that moment, in the forest, Tang Hao was hiding in the beasts’ nest. He held a mirror in his hand and pointed it at the sky. Occasionally, he flashed some light at it.

He shook it with all his might, making it seem as if it was an otherworldly great treasure.

That way, he would be able to deceive as many people as he could.

He had crafted the mirror himself, and the mirror had no other use other than being flashy.

After flashing the mirror for a while, the beasts that had been lured away earlier returned. Tang Hao hurriedly packed his things and ran away.

He heaved a sigh of relief after running all the way to the edge of the forest.

“Am I being immoral for doing this?” He suddenly felt a little awkward.

“Whatever. It’s none of my business!”

Tang Hao mumbled and turned around to walk toward the small town.

A sea of people had gathered at the entrance of the small town, discussing excitedly.

“Hey, you’re back, Brother Tang!”

Zhao Liu was also there. He shouted when he saw Tang Hao.

“Brother Tang!”

“Master Tang!”

Everyone greeted him one after another.

“You’re all here!” Tang Hao walked over and said with a smile.

“Yeah! Right, did you see that light just now? That’s treasure light! Looks like some great treasure has surfaced!

“Our town will be incredibly busy. This is a rare opportunity!”

Tang Hao replied, “I saw it. It’s quite shocking. I even saw quite some people running into the forest just now.”

“Hah! Those people must be crazy! They’re not going to achieve anything with that bit of cultivation. We can stay here and watch the show, but we’re not going to get the treasure,” Zhao Liu said.

“Hey, Brother Tang, this is a good opportunity! You can make more medicine and sell it to those people.” Suddenly, someone suggested.

Tang Hao’s eyes lit up. He thought to himself, “That’s right. This is a great opportunity to make money.”

Instantly, he went around the stores and bought all of the medicinal herbs.

Then, he returned to the inn and began to make medicine.

That night, it was very lively outside. People from other places started arriving in town after midnight. Some were riding tall horses, and some were riding strange mounts.

They stopped in town for a while to inquire about the situation. Then, they hurried toward the forest.

Tang Hao sat in front of the window. While he was concocting the medicine, he watched groups of people passing by the street. They were valiant and spirited as they rushed into the forest.

“That’s not enough! I need more!”

He muttered from time to time.

By dawn, he had lost count of the number of people who went into the forest. Through the night, he could hear the sounds of fighting and the roar of the beasts.

Some people came back to town after daybreak. They seemed extremely miserable as they walked out while supporting each other.

Tang Hao, who had been waiting outside for a long time, went up to welcome them.

“Are you OK? Do you need Rejuvenation Pills? It’s on sale. Seven crystals per pill!”

“Seven crystals? What the hell, it’s so cheap! Could it be adulterated?” Someone said.

Tang Hao said indignantly, “You’re insulting me, Bro! I’m a man of integrity. If it’s adulterated, I’ll give ten times your money back. How about that?”

Behind Tang Hao, some people laughed and vouched for him.

Those people hesitated. It sounded like the kid had a lot of prestige.

“Then... I’ll try a few.”

Tang Hao immediately handed over a bottle.

“It’s really not bad!” After trying it, those people were surprised. The Rejuvenation Pill might be cheap, but they were just as effective. In fact, they were even better than some pills they were using earlier.

“Give me a few more bottles!” They hurriedly said.

Seeing their hurried looks, Tang Hao chuckled, took out a deluxe bottle, and started promoting it.

“How about checking this one out? It’s a deluxe version of the pill, and I guarantee that just one can instantly restore your vitality so that you have the energy to fight for the treasure.”

The cultivators looked at the bottle carefully. They were quite impressed.

“How... how much is one pill?”

“It’s not expensive at all, only eighty crystals per pill. Time waits for no man, Brothers. If you hesitate, someone else might snatch the treasure,” Tang Hao lied.

At first, they wanted to blurt out curses. Eighty crystals for a Rejuvenation Pill? That was daylight robbery.

However, when they heard the second part of the sentence, they began to hesitate.

That’s right! If they were too late and the treasure was gone, all their efforts would be in vain.

Thinking of that, they hurriedly took out their money bags and stuffed them in Tang Hao’s hands.

“We’ll take the lot!” They said generously.
