White Lotus Enlightenment in the Ancient World - Chapter 36 Penglai Immortal Banquet
Looking at the invitation card inlaid with gold and jade in her hand, Chang Yi went to the treasury and took out ten yellow plums.
All the Six Saints should be here at this banquet. We will not see each other again if we look up or look down. It’s time to keep in touch with each other.
When the Jade Rabbit in the backyard saw Chang Yi going out again, he remembered the tragic experience of being locked up in the Zixiao Palace for tens of thousands of years. He shuddered and hid behind the fruit tree and turned into a rabbit digging holes.
But how could Chang Yi go to the meeting without a maid accompanying her? He walked over and grabbed it by force.
Seeing the tearful look on its face, Chang Yi smiled and comforted her that she was going to a meeting this time and there would be delicious food. The Jade Rabbit then showed a suspicious face and reluctantly agreed.
There was still some time before the banquet. Chang Yi remembered the soil she had obtained before. Although she gave some to Zulong, what she had in hand at the moment was still enough, so she ordered the Jade Rabbit to sprinkle the sacred soil evenly.
As soon as the sacred soil is sprinkled, it begins to assimilate the surrounding soil. Because the soil retrieved this time is symbiotic with the gourd vine, its origin is more abundant than that under Huang Zhongli.
Maybe after one or two Yuanhui, all the soil in this area can be turned into soil, and then there will be no need to worry about being unable to support anything.
The yellow plum blossoms on the side bloomed again. This time the Jade Rabbit collected enough petals and brewed them together with the fairy pomegranate, and finally brewed a fine wine.
The Jade Rabbit named it Hongling, so named because the wine resembled a crimson ribbon. Chang Yi praised her for her good name, rewarded her with a pot, and took away all the rest.
The happy smile froze on his face instantly, and he quickly grabbed Chang Yi’s clothes and cried.
“Sir, it took me hundreds of thousands of years to create these altars. How can I live if they are all taken away!”
Chang Yi was naturally teasing her, and rewarded her with another yellow plum for her merits in brewing. The rabbit’s waist suddenly stopped hurting, and she stopped crying, and chased Master Chang Yi.
The Jade Rabbit had already reached the late stage of Golden Immortal after eating the first fruit. Now he ate another fruit and his cultivation level gradually increased. After a while, he was promoted to Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Chang Yi didn’t want her to be obsessed with cultivation and enlightenment, as long as she could take care of the orchard on the lunar calendar without any worries. He also asked Yutu if she wanted to go out for a walk, but she didn’t want to go out.
She felt that having a bunch of flower elves as companions was not lonely at all. It was too troublesome to make friends again after going out. Chang Yi laughed and said she was lazy.
It was almost time for the banquet, and Chang Yi took Jade Rabbit to Penglai Island in the East China Sea.
This Eastern Prince is also a source of good fortune. He was able to find this overseas fairy island as his dojo, but unfortunately he was pushed into the spotlight by the Tao Ancestor, which is a bit sad.
Chang Yi went there deliberately late. After all, she had a high status. Going too early felt a bit disrespectful.
When we arrived at the outskirts of the fairy island, we saw bursts of fairy light, the sound of musical instruments, and a large number of fairy maids waiting outside to welcome the distinguished guests.
They had seen the phantom of Taiyue on Dai Yue’s chariot a long time ago, and they began to greet him from a distance and called out to Master Taiyue. It seemed that they had done a lot of homework before.
“No gift.”
A cold voice came out, followed by a fairy fruit, and everyone got one. The smile on his face suddenly became more sincere, and he bowed to welcome the jade chariot into the island.
Prince Dong heard the Taoist boy’s call and was already waiting outside the mountain gate to greet him.
“It’s a great honor for you, fellow Taoist, to visit Xiaoxian!”
Chang Yi never interacted with them as Taoist ancestors, but as equals, so she quickly got out of the chariot and returned the greeting.
“Fellow Taoist, you are too polite, Jade Rabbit, why don’t you offer me some wine?”
The Jade Rabbit knew that the master was friendly and easy to make friends, so he quickly served him three pots of wine.
Duke Dongwang thanked him profusely and welcomed him in.
Although Yue Ling has transformed, he still likes the feeling of a deer body and hates noisy scenes, so he went to the back mountain to enjoy it.
When they entered the palace, they found that Sanqing had not arrived yet. He had arrived late enough. I wonder if the three of them did not intend to attend the banquet.
In the palace, Nuwa and the two leaders of the West were already sitting at the head of the table. When they saw Chang Yi coming, they all nodded in greeting. Chang Yi returned the greeting with a smile and sat on top of Nuwa.
The main hall is very spacious. Because Chang Yi had previously sent Huang Zhongli, the second leader of the West, the conversation was very pleasant. Chang Yi also casually asked about the current situation of the West.
After hearing this, the two people suddenly frowned, not sure whether they were pretending to be pitiful or if it was really difficult to repair.
Dijun Taiyi and others will definitely not come. Now they want to kill Duke Dong. How can they attend the banquet calmly?
The other immortals with insufficient status couldn’t talk to the people above, so they went to taste the fairy fruit and wine below, but they all worried about Prince Dong, because if Sanqing didn’t come, Prince Dong wouldn’t be able to host the banquet.
As the first disciple of the Pangu Zongzong Taoist ancestor, if he didn’t come and let Dongwang lose his face, he might not be able to convince the public in the future.
At this moment, he was extremely anxious. For some reason, he had become a lot more impatient since receiving Daozu’s instructions. The more he tried to suppress it, the less able he was to suppress it. When he was about to give up, Sanqing finally arrived.
Taishang Laojun rides a green ox, Tongtian Taoist rides a Kui ox, but Yuanshi Tianzun has not yet obtained the Nine Dragons and Agarwood Chariot, so he comes here on the Sixiang.
Seeing that all the Three Pure Ones had arrived, Duke Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face was no longer stiff, while most of the other immortals also relaxed, because there is a kind of embarrassment that is contagious.
At this time, the six Taoist ancestors and Chang Yi all arrived, and the banquet finally officially started. Duke Dong Wang first said some high-sounding words, and then all parties began to send congratulatory gifts.
Although Sanqing came late, he didn’t put on any airs. He smiled and presented many spiritual treasures, and even Chang Yi received some gifts.
The Jade Rabbit on the side was really on this occasion for the first time. He was curious about everything he saw, but he was a little disdainful of the spiritual fruits and was unwilling to eat any of them.
This was the first time Sanqing saw the Jade Rabbit. He thought it was Chang Yi’s chief disciple and sent many gifts one after another. Dong Wangong and the others didn’t care. They had to give it to the Lord of Taiyin, as they would be useful in the future.
Seeing so many things at once, Jade Rabbit didn’t dare to accept them. Seeing Chang Yi nodding, he carefully put them into his pocket, thinking that they would be just for his two apprentices.
Chang Yi was not stingy, she took out the jade box and asked the Jade Rabbit to present it in order.
Huang Zhongli, who exuded a mysterious and yellow aura, was worshiped into the six-person dish one after another. Finally, another one was presented to Donghua and Xihua, and the eyes of all the immortals behind him were fixed.
There is no Peach Society now, and the ginseng fruit of Zhenyuan Immortal is not famous. How can you not be curious when you see this magical fruit?
Chang Yi introduced the origin of Huang Zhongli in a thorough manner, and everyone was even more shocked when they heard it. Even Sanqing’s smile became enthusiastic, but the second leader was not too excited because he had eaten it before.
But the Xian family behind them exploded.
“Good guy, this fruit is a golden fairy!?”
“It’s really a worthwhile trip. It’s rare to even get a glimpse of such a magical fruit!”
“Brother Dao, your saliva is here.”
“Oh, oh! Haha…”
