Godslayer: I am the agent of King of Glory heroes
Chapter 335 Attending the Feast Without Bringing a Gift
The Jade Pool Wonderland is bathed in radiant light, with magnificent palaces and auspicious seven-colored clouds complementing each other.
Master Yu Ding led Lin Qiye and Jiang Shiyuan toward the banquet venue, and kindly explained the rules of the Peach Banquet to them.
As the Queen Mother of the West's birthday banquet, the Peach Banquet had many rules. All invited immortals had to be seated in three areas according to their status: upper immortals, middle immortals, and lower immortals.
Don't underestimate the importance of seating. The age of the peaches that the guests are eating today is related to their seating position.
The flat peach, a celestial treasure, grows in the Jade Pool Wonderland of Kunlun Mountain and is the core offering of the Flat Peach Festival.
There are three ages of peaches: three thousand years, six thousand years, and nine thousand years, corresponding to three different regions.
The lowest grade is naturally the inferior flat peach, which ripens only once every three thousand years. The inferior flat peach is slightly green, and looks no different from the fuzzy peaches in the mortal world. Eating it can make the body healthy, light, and prolong life.
Those sitting in the Lower Immortal Zone are generally minor immortals who have not yet entered the True Rank. If mortals like Lin Qiye and Jiang Shiyuan were to enter, they could only sit at the end of the Lower Immortal Zone, and at most, they could only be assigned the lowest quality peaches among the three thousand years of immortality peaches.
The Zhongxian District can be allocated mid-grade peaches that are six thousand years old. They are pure white like jade and have silver patterns. Deities who eat them can improve their cultivation. They are extremely precious.
As for the oldest, the nine-thousand-year-old purple-veined peach, eating it can grant immortality and make one live as long as the sun and moon. Apart from the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, the Three Pure Ones, and other supreme beings of the Three Realms, no one else can even dream of it.
After listening to a long explanation of the facts, Jiang Shiyuan raised an eyebrow, sensing that things were not so simple.
"What's wrong? Did you find something?" Lin Qiye asked in a low voice.
"The peach of immortality is a rare spiritual fruit," Jiang Shiyuan said solemnly, looking at the magnificent palace that was gradually approaching.
“Indeed, we are very lucky,” Lin Qiye agreed wholeheartedly.
He thought Jiang Shiyuan was overjoyed at being able to eat the peaches, since Master Yuding had just said that anyone who could enter the banquet would receive a peach.
Even for gods, such items are precious, let alone for him and Jiang Shiyuan. Even a low-grade peach is a rare find.
"I'm not... sigh, never mind." Jiang Shiyuan hesitated, but her heart was not secretly pleased as Lin Qiye thought.
If the peaches of immortality symbolize longevity and a connection to the heavens, then the Peach Banquet symbolizes the power of the Heavenly Court.
Otherwise, why would the gods be divided into three tiers based on their status and strength, and be rewarded with peaches from three different years?
Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West. She was not invited by the host, and it was good enough that she could go in and see the world. As for the peaches of immortality, which are top-level immortal fruits that only immortals can enjoy, could she really covet them?
Perhaps Lin Qiye, the chosen one, could, but she didn't think she had that kind of luck.
Sun Wukong stealing peaches was a contempt for the Heavenly Court's order, so what about them cheating on peaches?
I didn't think much about it on the way; I just felt that I couldn't miss such a grand occasion. But when I arrived, I realized that for someone as powerful as the Queen Mother of the West, this uninvited visit was extremely dangerous.
There shouldn't be any unexpected events during this process...
Lin Qiye couldn't understand Jiang Shiyuan's expression, so she asked, but because Master Yuding was present, she couldn't say it outright.
As I approached the entrance of the main hall with a heavy heart, I had to admit that it truly lived up to its reputation as a gathering of immortals. Just standing not far from the entrance, one could already glimpse the grandeur and magnificence of the Peach Banquet.
At the entrance of the main hall, several elegantly dressed female immortals were counting the birthday gifts of the guests. As if she had thought of something, Jiang Shiyuan slowed down, gently tugged at Lin Qiye's sleeve, and slowly spoke under his puzzled expression.
"You are now Sun Wukong's disciple, here to congratulate the Queen Mother of the West on his behalf. So, did you bring a gift?"
"...???"
Upon hearing this question, Lin Qiye unconsciously slowed his pace, and his gaze fell on the female immortals who were loudly reciting the birthday gifts for the guests. The smile on his lips gradually froze.
They followed the man in yellow in with the intention of killing him, so how could they possibly be bringing any gifts?
He and Jiang Shiyuan exchanged a glance and secretly checked their belongings.
"Master Yuding, how have you been?"
Just as the two were brainstorming about the congratulatory gift, a figure wearing a star-patterned robe walked up to Master Yu Ding.
"True Lord Ziwei, it's been a long time. Your cultivation has improved again."
That person was none other than Ziwei Xingjun. Yu Ding Zhenren smiled, stopped, and began to exchange pleasantries.
After exchanging a few words, Ziwei Xingjun looked at the two people deep in thought behind Yuding Zhenren and asked, "Who are these two...?"
"Ah, this is Jiang Shang's disciple, so he has some connection with us." Master Yu Ding smiled and revealed Jiang Shiyuan's identity.
He and Jiang Ziya were both disciples of the Celestial Venerable, and he even lent Jiang Ziya his most prized possession, the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
Furthermore, Ziwei Xingjun was appointed by Jiang Ziya as one of the top-tier deities.
"A disciple of Taigong?" Ziwei Xingjun was taken aback.
Jiang Shiyuan was a new face, but since Master Yuding had said so, he might just be a disciple that Jiang Ziya had just taken in, and he just happened not to know it. Ziwei Xingjun nodded and offered a few words of encouragement.
"This is a disciple of the Victorious Fighting Buddha of the Western Paradise, who is attending the gathering on behalf of his master." After introducing Jiang Shiyuan, Yu Ding Zhenren turned to Lin Qiye, "I saw that this was their first time attending the Peach Banquet, so I brought them along."
"That monkey's disciple?" Upon hearing the name Sun Wukong, Ziwei Xingjun's gaze towards Lin Qiye immediately turned strange, revealing his astonishment.
"Indeed, what he was riding just now was the Somersault Cloud." Jade Cauldron Master nodded with a smile, clearly satisfied with Ziwei Star Lord's reaction.
After his initial surprise subsided, Ziwei Xingjun noticed the worry on Jiang Shiyuan and Lin Qiye's faces and asked, "Why do you both look so worried?"
"It must be about the congratulatory gift." Master Yu Ding recalled the question Jiang Shiyuan had just asked Lin Qiye and had a guess in his mind. He then asked Lin Qiye, "Did you not bring a congratulatory gift with you to this banquet?"
Generally speaking, when someone attends a banquet on behalf of their master, the apprentice should at least bring a gift, right?
"I haven't prepared anything." Lin Qiye nodded honestly. He really wanted to say that not only did he not have a gift, but Jiang Shiyuan didn't either...
This is awkward. What's the difference between this and going to a banquet empty-handed when you're not invited?
"Given that monkey's temperament, it's not surprising at all," Ziwei Xingjun laughed.
The monkey wasn't invited to the Peach Banquet back then, and as a result, all the 9,000-year-old purple-veined peaches in the Peach Garden were ruined, and the Peach Banquet couldn't even be held.
So what if they didn't bring a gift? They're already being polite by not coming in person to cause trouble again.
"..." Lin Qiye gave a wry smile after being looked at by Ziwei Xingjun with a look that seemed to say, "You're not going to cause a scene too, are you?" He was a little unsure of what to say.
Monkey King is no ordinary monkey; he is just an ordinary person. He never really had the idea of causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace!
Master Yuding was in a dilemma. Given the monkey's reputation, the Queen Mother wouldn't be surprised if he didn't give a gift. But judging from Lin Qiye's expression, it wasn't that he didn't want to give one, but rather that he hadn't thought of giving one.
However, he only brought one gift with him to the banquet, and didn't have any more to share with Lin Qiye.
He looked at Ziwei Xingjun, about to ask if the other party had any extra gifts, when he saw Ziwei Xingjun looking at a figure walking towards the female immortal not far away, and said loudly, "Grandpa, please wait."
