Chapter 63 Lingxiao Hosts a Banquet for the Immortals
Nuwa and Fuxi, seeing that Dijun and Taiyi had come forward to plead for them, immediately showed a hint of gratitude in their eyes.
Although it is unknown why Di Jun and Tai Yi pleaded for them, it was a good thing for the brother and sister.
"Since you two fellow Daoists have pleaded for you, I will spare you this time, but there must be no next time."
After a long while, Ling Xiao's voice rang out.
Nuwa cultivated the Way of Creation, while Fuxi cultivated the Way of Yin and Yang.
I can't refine pills, I can't forge weapons, I can't set up formations...
Even if we capture them, they'll only be used as servants, which would waste the innate spiritual energy of the immortal island.
Furthermore, Di Jun and Tai Yi have repeatedly stood up for me, and even if they haven't done anything particularly meritorious, they have certainly put in a lot of effort.
They should be given some leeway.
Nuwa and Fuxi thanked Lingxiao, and then thanked Dijun and Taiyi.
The three Pure Ones, who had transformed into children from the Styx River, and the Eastern King Duke, who had transformed into a tortoise, were all looking at the brother and sister with envy.
Styx was furious and lamented, "If only I had sided with Di Jun and Tai Yi! Who knew the Three Pure Ones were all show and no substance."
Both Di Jun and Tai Yi looked at Ling Xiao with gratitude in their eyes.
At this moment, the two brothers were also beaming with health, feeling extremely pleased as they were looked upon by a group of innate deities.
That's quite a lot of face!
Di Jun sighed inwardly, "I have invited Fuxi to the Sun Star several times, but he has not gone. Yet now, with just one sentence from Fellow Daoist Lingxiao, Fuxi and his sister have become so friendly to me."
"I really want to know, what exactly is the background of this Fellow Daoist Lingxiao?"
Seeing Nuwa and Fuxi slink away, Ling Xiao looked at the remaining people present.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches, Di Jun Tai Yi, Hong Yun Zhen Yuan Zi, Zhu Long, and many other high-ranking members of the Dragon Clan.
Ling Xiao smiled brightly and said, "I am deeply grateful for your generous help. Penglai Immortal Island is right before us, and we have prepared fine wine and delicacies. Would you all like to join me in enjoying this fine wine?"
"It would be impolite to refuse such hospitality! Taiyi and I have long wanted to visit the beautiful scenery of Penglai, but we have never had the opportunity."
Di Jun laughed and agreed.
Following that, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Zhulong, the high-ranking members of the Dragon Clan, and Hongyun Zhenyuanzi successively agreed.
The blessed land formed from fragments of chaos is definitely not an ordinary place.
Today, I'm sure I'll have a very broadened perspective.
Ling Xiao sat on the tortoise-shaped quilt of the Eastern King Duke, and was carried by it. Standing beside him were the four boys from the Three Pure Ones and the Styx River, while the group of guests behind him transformed into streaks of divine rainbows, following closely behind.
In just a few breaths, the group passed through the formation and entered the ethereal fairy island.
All that could be seen was a hazy mist and towering pines and cypresses.
The fairy island is surrounded by countless ancient buildings with an ethereal, otherworldly feel, such as the Penglai Palace and the Fuyue Tower...
The innate spiritual energy here is extremely abundant. One breath here greatly increases one's magical power, saving one the effort of a thousand years of arduous cultivation.
Surrounding the numerous buildings, there were countless innate spiritual roots of unknown origin, shimmering with spiritual energy.
Ling Xiao led everyone to the main hall, Penglai Hall.
They greeted and welcomed Zhunti, and hosted a banquet for everyone.
The Three Pure Ones and the Styx River, transformed into children, carried the Five-Needle Pine Cone and the Star Fruit, both innate spiritual roots, and walked towards the Penglai Palace with different expressions.
Listening to the laughter and conversation of the many powerful figures in the hall, the four of them were extremely envious.
In addition to the two innate spiritual roots, hundreds of other top-grade acquired spiritual roots also arrived in droves.
The Qilin and Phoenix captured by Zhunti and Jieyin were then put into the pot, either stir-fried or made into soup...
In an instant, smoke rose from the cooking fires on Penglai Island, and Jieyin and Zhunti were busy directing the Three Pure Ones and the Styx River.
"What is this brown water? And it's bubbling?"
Among the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi looked at the cups of water on the tray. The brown water in the cups emitted a chilling aura, and the bubbles were rolling around.
"Hehe, my older brother said that this is called Sanguang Kuola, which is made from Sanguang Divine Water."
"One sip not only greatly increases your magical power, but it's also very stimulating."
Zhunti picked up the cup from Yuanshi's tray, gulped it down in one go, then put the cup down with a "burp."
"Awesome!"
Inside the Penglai Palace, numerous powerful beings were stunned into silence as they gazed upon the many innate spiritual fruits and top-grade acquired spiritual fruits before them.
Then, from Zhunti's words, he learned that the Three Lights Joy was actually made from the Three Lights Divine Water.
The place fell silent instantly!
Everyone knows that a single drop of the Three Lights Divine Water is priceless!
However, Fellow Daoist Lingxiao actually brought out the Three Lights Divine Water and made everyone drink it in large quantities?
My goodness, this is way too extravagant...
Ling Xiao was chatting and laughing with someone when he suddenly noticed cups of juice made from innate spiritual fruits on the table, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Who wants juice?"
He asked, and then Houtu raised her hand and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, I was feeling a little thirsty just now."
Ling Xiao said, "Get rid of this bad habit immediately! Drinking Sanguang Coke will quench your thirst just as well."
Upon hearing these words, Houtu and all the guests present were utterly shocked.
The iced Sanguang Coke made with the Sanguang Divine Water was incredibly stimulating, and it greatly increased one's magical power.
Being able to drink is definitely a great feeling.
Fellow Daoist Lingxiao, you're too generous! You think too highly of yourself. Everyone was extremely grateful.
Such a precious resource is being used like water by everyone.
This banquet has continued for a century.
The four attendants of the Three Pure Ones of the River Styx carried countless delicacies back and forth.
Styx thought to himself, "I must befriend Lingxiao; I should never have associated with the Three Pure Ones."
He didn't have any deep-seated hatred for Ling Xiao, and he felt there was still room for maneuver in this matter.
The banquet was still going on, and Ling Xiao and the others were toasting and laughing together, creating a lively atmosphere in the hall.
On a whim, he got up and instructed the Three Pure Ones and the Styx River to dance for everyone.
The Three Pure Ones harbored extreme resentment, yet were powerless to do anything about it.
In their eyes, the three Lingxiao brothers were merely beings born in the barren lands of the West, and could not be considered true descendants of the primordial world.
Why should they be able to monopolize so many resources?
In the future, I must find an opportunity to get my revenge!
Then they took everything that the three Ling brothers owned!
What angered the Three Pure Ones even more was that, during these hundred years, Jieyin and Zhunti had come to them several times.
That's just making trouble out of nothing.
At this moment, the Three Pure Ones kept both the old and new grudges in their hearts, waiting for the day when they could avenge themselves.
"Ladies and gentlemen, all good things must come to an end."
"Now go find my second and third brothers in turn to receive the rare and precious treasures."
Ling Xiao looked at the many powerful figures inside the hall.
He was a man of clear principles regarding gratitude and resentment.
Those who have helped you will surely reciprocate and treat you with sincerity.
Regardless of whether they will fight each other in the future, at this moment, they are each other's comrades.
Everyone was overjoyed and thanked Ling Xiao profusely; for them, this was an unexpected delight.
Then they went to see Jieyin and Zhunti to receive the rare and precious treasures.
Speaking of which, Ling Xiao has not yet explored Fangzhang and Yingzhou. The rare and precious materials he bestowed upon him all come from Penglai Immortal Island.
But these things are rare enough, and they are divine objects that many powerful beings desire but cannot possess.
After receiving their rewards, everyone bowed to Lingxiao in gratitude and then left Penglai Immortal Island.
And the primordial world returned to peace once more.
Three thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The day for the third sermon at Zixiao Palace had finally arrived.
Ling Xiao emerged from his seclusion, sensed the surroundings with his divine sense, and sighed, "I never imagined that so much would have happened in just three thousand years."
