Chapter 135 - 134: You won’t refuse the friendship between us brothers, right?
This Ascension Banquet.
Made all the participants feel that their horizons had been greatly broadened.
From the various powerful experts in the beginning, to the boldness of the Dragon King, and the knowledge of the ginseng fruit, a treasure that can only be obtained thirty times every nine thousand years.
And finally, the use of the Three Fork Divine Technique by King Zhu Ganglie turned the ordinary Black Wind Mountain into a cave heaven and blessed land.
It was well worth the trip!
After the banquet ended.
The surrounding little demons, knowing what was appropriate, left on their own. They were able to attend this banquet not because of their own greatness, but simply because they were close to the event.
The Earth Gods of the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Mountains, on the other hand, took the opportunity to greet Xuanqing one by one before leaving. Their attitude went from casual at first, to reverent.
There was no choice.
This Daoist Master has such a deep background. Even the top expert from the Heavenly Court Thunder Department came to offer congratulatory gifts. Not to mention the last one who was called Marshal Tianpeng, who possessed vast divine powers.
At the entrance of the courtyard.
Xuanqing saw the Four Thunder Division Gods to the door.
“All of you Gods, please feel free to come and visit Black Wind Mountain if you have time. I cannot promise much, but I do have some ginseng fruit to offer.”
The corners of the mouths of the four Thunder Division Gods twitched slightly.
Damn it- How could there be such a wealthy man in this world.
“Haha- Good, good, Friend Xuanqing, if you need the divine power of Thunder in the future, don’t hesitate to ask this God.”
The smile on the face of the Thunder God envoy was brilliant.
Although he was complaining in his heart about the other party’s wealth, he also remembered this favor. After all, even their boss had only tasted one of these ginseng fruits at the Flat Peach meeting thousands of years ago.
The Wind Lady, who was holding a wind bag beside her, also smiled and said politely:
“Thank you for your hospitality, Friend Xuanqing. I, the Wind Lady, have got nothing else but some understanding of the wind. If you encounter an enemy who manipulates wind in the future, you can make use of my Wind Bag’s power to capture them!”
An enemy who manipulates wind?
An idea crossed Xuanqing’s mind.
If one were to talk about an enemy skilled in manipulating wind, wouldn’t the Yellow Wind Monster, who caused chaos in the neighboring Wusi Tibetan territory, fit the description?
“Thank you, Wind God, but may I ask if your Wind Bag is capable of containing the Samadhi Divine Wind?”
“It can hold all the winds in the world, not to mention the mere Samadhi Divine Wind. If it were up to me, even the Chaos Gang Wind above the thirty-six heavens could be contained.”
The Wind Lady’s mouth curled into a smile, her expression full of confidence.
As it turns out.
Although the Wind Lady usually mingled with the Thunder Division Gods, she did not belong to the Thunder Department, and in terms of her divine position, she was at the same level as the Universal Transcendence.
It was just that she had no subordinates and her authority over the ‘wind’ was too narrow, which was why she remained unknown.
Upon hearing this.
Xuanqing was overjoyed.
He never made a move on the Yellow Wind Monster because he was afraid of the latter’s Samadhi Divine Wind. After all, although he could come back to life, there was no need to deliberately seek death.
Now that he had the Wind Lady’s ‘wind guidance’, he could use the power of the Wind Lady’s Wind Bag at any time to take away the enemy’s Samadhi Divine Wind, so defeating him would be a breeze.
“Good- I’ll really need to deal with a wind-summoning enemy in a few days, and 1’11 have to trouble the Wind God by then.”
“It’s not troublesome-”
The Wind Lady’s eyes flashed with curiosity, and then she bowed and said, “1 am a God from the Heavenly Realm, and I shall not stay long in the human world… Farewell!”
“We shall also leave, until next time.” The Thunder God envoy, the
Cloud-Pushing Child, and the Gentleman Bu Lang also bowed in turn.
“Lords of the Gods, until next time!”
Xuanqing bowed slightly and watched the four Gods leave.
His mood was good. After an Ascension Banquet, he made friends with the Wind Lady, who was such an expert. In the future, if he encountered an enemy who could summon wind, he could borrow the power of the Wind Bag.
Returning to the courtyard.
The once lively Black Wind Mountain has returned to its initial tranquility.
However.
Among the guests who came to attend the banquet, there were still three who hadn’t left, namely King Zhu Ganglie and the West Sea Dragon King and his son.
“West Sea Dragon King, I wonder what you meant when you said you had something to discuss…?” Xuanqing asked solemnly.
In fact, when the West Sea Dragon King gifted so many things, he had already guessed that the other party must have something to ask, otherwise there would be no need for such generosity.
“I won’t hide it from you, Daoist friend. I want to send Moang under your guidance. If there’s anything you need from the West Sea in the future, feel free to ask!” said the West Sea Dragon King solemnly.
Upon hearing this.
A touch of surprise floated in Xuanqing’s eyes.
He didn’t expect that the matter the West Sea Dragon King wanted to discuss was to stuff his son into his Black Wind Mountain.
After thinking for a moment.
“West Sea Dragon King, you must be joking. The wealth of your Dragon Clan is not something my humble Black Wind Mountain can compare with. Moreover, I have just entered the realm of Heavenly Immortals.”
Xuanqing waved his hand, and although he did not explicitly say it, his words expressed his intention to refuse.
Frankly speaking.
If it was someone like Black Bear Essence, who has both good talent and a clean background, he wouldn’t hesitate to accept them.
But as for Moang, as the Crown Prince of the West Sea and with one younger brother being Bai Longma in “Journey to the West” and another cousin who wanted to eat Tang Seng, he truly had more than his fair share of troubles.
“This…”
The West Sea Dragon King hesitated slightly.
He didn’t expect Daoist Friend Xuanqing to refuse so decisively, but even if the deal fell through, there would still be time to build a good relationship in the future.
“What Friend Xuanqing said is reasonable. You have just entered the realm of Heavenly Immortals, and it is indeed not suitable to take disciples at this time. It is indeed a bit abrupt for me to ask this.”
“Then… I won’t disturb Friend Xuanqing’s cultivation. If there’s a chance in the future, I welcome you to visit the West Sea as a guest.”
The West Sea Dragon King smiled and cupped his hands.
Well well-
He certainly is an old slippery dragon king, speaking with such tact that not a drop of water can leak through his words. He not only resolves the awkwardness of being refused but also leaves some room for future possibilities.
For example, the phrase ‘not suitable to take disciples as a newbie Heavenly Immortal’ implies that higher cultivation in the future will allow him to accept disciples?
Of course.
Xuanqing also heard the insinuation in the other party’s words but didn’t make it explicit, pretending to be ignorant instead.
“Haha- Ha ha, alright. If I have time, I will definitely visit the West Sea!” Xuanqing said with a cupped fist.
The West Sea Dragon King smiled and nodded. He then took Moang to the sky, turning into two giant dragons and flying away.
Watching them leave.
Now.
Only Zhu Ganglie was left in the courtyard.
“That old dragon king wants to reap cheap benefits without giving anything. He’s just all talk and no substance. The richer they are, the stingier they get… Tsk!”
Zhu Ganglie watched the direction the Dragon King left and spat disdainfully.
Afterwards.
He rubbed his hands together, his face wearing a wily smile.
“Junior brother, so… I, Old Zhu, also came to stuff someone in here. Given our relationship, you wouldn’t refuse, would you?”
As he spoke.
Zhu Ganglie put his arm around Xuanqing’s shoulder and made faces at him.
