BXBX NOVEL Chapter 129 - 128: The Mountain is Small, The Place is Remote!
Black Wind Town.
Up in the sky.
Whoosh-
A figure descends from the heavens, it’s Xuanqing returning from the Heavenly Court.
“Light Body-”
Blue light swirls.
Before hitting the ground, he barely steadied his figure, preventing himself from falling and face-planting.
“Sir!”
“Sir!”
Perfect timing.
This scene is seen by all of Black Wind Town’s underlings, who quickly gather around.
Xuanqing gathers himself.
Originally, he had planned to stay in Douluo Palace and collect some treasures like the Eight Trigram Furnace for the mall, but he was kicked out by his Ancestor Master.
Xuanqing sighs in his heart, slightly straightens his clothes, and flicks the duster in his hand.
“How much time has passed, everyone?”
“Sir, it’s been over four months.” The Black Wind Town Earth Deity bowed and replied.
Over four months… less than two months remain until the Ascension Conference.
Xuanqing suddenly realizes.
Although he knows that one day in heaven is one year on earth, he’s still not used to the sensation of time in the mountains blinking by, and the world going through thousands of years of changes.
“Follow me to the Divine Realm for a meeting!”
“Yes, Sir!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Return to the Divine Realm.
Everyone stands in two rows, the Four Little Gods on one side and the Two Demons along with Qingwan on the other.
At the high main seat.
Xuanqing sits cross-legged, scanning the gathered followers below.
“Qingxu, tell me about the development of the small town.”
“Yes, sir!”
Gentleman Bai She stepped forward, bowed, and said:
“I have established the Black Wind Town Government, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Agricultural Administration, implementing a policy of reduced agricultural tax by half as you commanded.
“The disaster victims have also survived the most difficult stages, and successfully scattered throughout Black Wind Town, forming two large villages and five small villages.”
Listening to the prosperous scene of Black Wind Town,
Xuanqing nods in satisfaction.
He is very clear.
In this feudal society where people are eaten alive, the biggest wish of the bottom layer farmers is to have enough food and clothing. So he first solves the food problem.
Even.
He plans to obtain some hybrid seeds from the real world after this Ascension Conference to be grown by the people here.
However, these hybrid seeds can only grow for two or three generations before reverting to their original state. If you want to grow them long-term, it’s best to establish an agricultural cultivation base in the real world.
Black Wind Town’s development is safe and secure.
Xuanqing’s attention turns to the matter of the Ascension Conference, which he entrusted to the Black Bear Essence. After all, this is a world where bloodline matters, and Gentleman Bai She’s abilities are still a bit lacking.
“Black bear, how is the preparation for the Ascension Conference? Have the invitations been sent out?”
“Sir, they have all been sent out, but…” Black Bear Essence looks conflicted.
Seeing this,
Xuanqing asks in a cold voice, “Could it be that no one wants to come to my Ascension Banquet?”
Black Bear Essence hurriedly waved his hand and explained, “There are people
coming, there are people coming, but… too many people are coming.”
“Everyone we invited is coming, and even many who have heard that you are hosting the Road to Fairyland Ascension Banquet, who didn’t receive an invitation, are also coming!”
Telling this,
His thick bear paw stretched out, and his thick fingers began to count:
“Pugilistic world wanderers, the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Mountains, the West Sea Dragon Palace neighboring Western Hami Country, Great Immortal Ability… and so on. All expressed that they will come to participate in your Ascension Banquet, Sir.”
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing can’t help but say irritably, “Having more people is a good thing, why make such an unpleasant face!”
He saw that the Black Bear Essence’s face didn’t look good, and thought that it was because no one was coming and that he had lost face.
Unexpectedly.
After hearing this, the Black Bear Essence’s face became even more twisted, and he weakly said:
“Sir, but… our mountain is small and our place is remote. It’s fine for some wandering folks from the pugilistic world, but the Dragon Palace and the great Immortal Officials are also coming. What… what can we use to entertain them?”
As soon as these words were spoken.
Xuanqing’s brow furrowed.
He had never considered this issue before.
In this world, aside from one’s background, the most important thing is social relationship. This banquet… cannot be done shabbily.
Regarding food, he still had one hundred Ginseng Fruits left. At that time, he could take out a few of them, mix them with Rootless Water to cook porridge and make tea, which should be enough.
After all, Ginseng Fruits are extremely precious. Even at the Flat Peach Feasts, only the top-notch experts have the chance to eat them.
However, it’s true that the small mountain and remote location are big issues.
Thinking this way in his heart.
Xuanqing’s gaze passed through the Divine Realm and looked at Black Wind Mountain and Azure Dragon Mountain.
The mountains were no more than a thousand meters high, which wouldn’t be considered tall even in the real world, let alone in the mythical Journey to the West World, where they were barely more than hillocks.
Suddenly.
An idea flashed through his mind, and he thought of an ingenious solution.
“Alright, I will deal with the small mountain and remote location issue myself.
As for what to use to entertain the guests…”
Xuanqing smiled slightly.
The next moment.
Two fist-sized, flesh-colored fruits shaped like babies appeared in his hand.
An exotic fragrance emanated from the fruits.
The fragrance was refreshing and invigorating, and one could feel wisps of mysterious power, which would greatly benefit people.
“This is Ginseng Fruit. At that time, we will use this to make tea and cook porridge. It should be more than enough to entertain the West Sea Dragon Palace and the Heavenly immortals.”
What is Ginseng Fruit?
His subordinates were somewhat puzzled.
Their faces didn’t show shock, only deep curiosity. They wondered what this thing was that could be used to entertain such distinguished guests and still be more than enough?
ii
Uh… Sir, what is this Ginseng Fruit?” The Black Bear Essence asked curiously.
Xuanqing paused for a moment.
He had thought that his subordinates knew about it, but then he realized that apart from those in the real world, probably only the great immortals in the Journey to the West World knew about it.
“This fruit is called Ginseng Fruit and is produced by one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Earth, the Ginseng Fruit Tree!”
ii
It blooms in the first three thousand years, bears fruit in the next three thousand years, and matures in another three thousand years. Each cycle takes a full nine thousand years and produces only thirty fruits!”
“Upon smelling this fruit, one can live an additional 306 years, and upon eating it, one will add 47,000 years to their lifespan.”
Upon hearing this.
Everyone swallowed their saliva and was shocked. They never thought that there would be such a peculiar thing as Ginseng Fruit in this world.
So, just by smelling it, one could live an extra 306 years, and by eating it, one could gain 47,000 years of lifespan? So, to achieve immortality, all one needs to do is eat a single Ginseng Fruit?
Just when everyone was astonished.
A crisp voice rang out.
“Sir-” Qingwan’s eyes rolled around, and she pointed at the Ginseng Fruit, timidly asking, “This Ginseng Fruit dissolves when it meets water, so how can we make porridge or tea with it?”
That’s right, how can they make tea if it dissolves when it touches water? Everyone came to their senses and looked at their master.
“Ordinary water won’t work. You’ll need Rootless Water, and you can use jade utensils to cook the porridge and prepare the tea.”
Everyone suddenly realized.
“Alright, you may all go now.”
Xuanqing waved his hand at his subordinates.
“We take our leave!”
“We take our leave!”
After everyone had left.
Xuanqing first grabbed the Gathering Qi Bead on the divine platform.
Recharge!
[Beep! +75000 Ingot]
The amount wasn’t much, but it wasn’t a little either. It was enough for daily use.
“Now, it’s time to deal with the issue of the small mountain and the remote location.”
“To solve this problem, it’s actually not difficult.” Xuanqing’s mouth slightly curved upwards.
He remembered that among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Arts bestowed by Daozu, there was indeed a divine power that could solve this problem..
