Chapter 88 Fishing in Troubled Waters, Reaping a Treasure
Xu Xian's plan was simple.
When Sun Wukong wreaked havoc at the Peach Banquet and stole elixirs from the Tushita Palace.
Xu Xian took advantage of the chaos to obtain various treasures from the Peach Banquet and the Tushita Palace.
When Sun Wukong fought against 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals and battled with Erlang Shen, Xu Xian would not intervene.
Until Sun Wukong was captured and imprisoned in the alchemy furnace.
Xu Xian then went with Sun Wukong to the alchemy furnace to refine themselves and increase their strength.
Incidentally, upgrade the Taiyi Sword to the level of a Primordial Chaos Treasure.
Finally, during the great battle between Sun Wukong and Wang Lingguan at the Tongming Palace, Xu Xian will search for the Heavenly Book and acquire the true Thirty-Six Heavenly Techniques and Seventy-Two Earthly Techniques.
These things are easy to say, but extremely difficult to do.
Because the Heavenly Court possesses countless powerful gods and mysterious treasures, it could easily expose itself if one is not careful.
If Xu Xian hadn't been familiar with the plot and hadn't rehearsed it countless times in his mind, he wouldn't have dared to participate in the story of the havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
Xu Xian hid in the Peach Garden, estimating the time.
"The time has come!"
Xu Xian murmured something, then transformed back into a small insect and headed towards the Peach Banquet at Yaochi.
At this moment, all the celestial officials and Taoist priests at the Peach Banquet were sedated by the monkey's sleep-inducing magic and fell fast asleep.
The monkey, meanwhile, was already staggering towards the Thirty-Three Heavens, towards the Tushita Palace in the Heaven of Hatred.
This gave Xu Xian a chance to escape.
Taking this opportunity, Xu Xian directly opened his small space.
"receive!"
The exquisite wines, rare fruits, and delicacies from the Peach Banquet were all collected into this small space.
Congratulations to player Xu Xian for acquiring [Imperial Wine] (Gold)
Congratulations to player Xu Xian for acquiring [Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow] (Gold)
Congratulations to player Xu Xian for your successful completion of the challenge!
Xu Xian looted all the treasures at the Peach Banquet and then calculated the time.
It then transformed into a small insect and headed to the Tushita Palace in the Heaven of Separation and Hatred.
Inside the Tushita Palace, the monkeys had already begun stealing the elixirs.
"Brother Monkey, help me take the blame."
Xu Xian chuckled and also sneaked into the Tushita Palace, looting all the pills the monkey had left behind.
Congratulations to player Xu Xian for obtaining the [Nine-Turn Golden Elixir] (Red)
Congratulations to the player for acquiring a [Nine-Turn Great Rejuvenation Pill] (Red)
Congratulations to the player for acquiring a [Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill] (Red)
The pills Xu Xian received included both raw and cooked ones, as well as large and small ones, but they were all of the red grade.
Even in the Heavenly Court, it would be considered a supreme treasure!
Xu Xian accepted the elixir, knowing that his trip had been extremely fruitful, and then left the Heavenly Court to return to Mount Buzhou.
Heavenly Court, Peach Garden.
Although the seven fairies were immobilized by the spell, the magic eventually came to an end.
After a long time, the seven fairies were finally able to move freely.
Knowing that the time for the Peach Banquet was approaching, they dared not linger any longer and quickly headed to the Peach Grove to find peaches.
"W-what happened?"
"Not to mention large peaches, there isn't even a single medium or small peach."
"What should we do?"
The seven fairies were at a loss and could only return to the Jade Pool to inform the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother of the West could probably guess what had happened to the Seven Fairy Maidens, but with the Peach Banquet approaching, she only asked the Seven Fairy Maidens about their gains from this trip.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, we did not pick a single peach because the Great Sage inquired about the Peach Banquet and then used a magic spell to freeze us before leaving. When we were released from the spell and entered the Peach Grove, we found that there were no ripe peaches left."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother took the seven fairy maidens with her to see the Jade Emperor.
Just then, the celestial officials and Taoist priests who had arranged the Peach Banquet requested an audience.
"Your Majesty, we do not know who disrupted the Peach Banquet. They not only stole the fine wine and delicacies, but also took away all the bowls, chopsticks, plates, tables, chairs, and benches from the banquet. At this moment, the Jade Pool is almost empty."
Before the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother could resolve the matter of the Peach Banquet at Yaochi, the Four Heavenly Masters suddenly reported: "The Supreme Dao Ancestor has arrived."
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother hurriedly came out to greet him, and there he saw Laozi saying, "I refined some Nine-Turn Golden Elixir in my palace, and also stored some Nine-Turn Great Rejuvenation Elixir and Nine-Turn Resurrection Elixir—unexpectedly, they were stolen by thieves, so I came to inform Your Majesty."
Upon hearing the words of the Dao Ancestor, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother both had a general idea of what was going on.
It must have been done by Sun Wukong.
Sure enough, the Barefoot Immortal came to report again, saying that the Great Sage Equal to Heaven had falsely conveyed the imperial edict.
The Jade Emperor was quite annoyed: "This monkey actually ate all the peaches of immortality, stole the golden pills, and looted all the treasures from the Peach Banquet! He's truly audacious!"
The Jade Emperor immediately dispatched the Four Heavenly Kings, along with Li Jing and Prince Nezha, to select the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Nine Luminaries, the Twelve Earthly Branches, the Five Directions Protectors, the Four Duty Officers, the Eastern and Western Stars, the Northern and Southern Gods, the Five Sacred Mountains and the Four Rivers, and all the celestial beings, totaling 100,000 heavenly soldiers, to deploy eighteen heavenly nets to descend to the mortal realm and besiege Flower Fruit Mountain.
The gods immediately mobilized their forces and left the Heavenly Palace for Flower Fruit Mountain.
In the treasure pavilion of Mount Buzhou.
Looking at the treasures Xu Xian brought back, Bai Suzhen said with some concern, "My lord, if I'm not mistaken, these treasures should all be from the Heavenly Court."
The Third Holy Mother laughed heartily, patted Xu Xian on the shoulder and praised him, "You're really something, managing to get these things."
Xiaoqing's eyes widened in astonishment. "You're really not afraid of death!"
Xu Xian patted Xiaoqing's head and said with a smile, "If you sort and put these treasures away properly, I can reward you with a Nine-Turn Golden Pill."
"Nine... Nine-Turn Golden Elixir?!"
Xiaoqing swallowed hard and immediately began to collect and store all the treasures.
Bai Suzhen and the Third Holy Mother naturally helped.
Xu Xian brought back a great many treasures, and even with the three of them working together, they were still very busy.
Xu Xian, meanwhile, lay on a rocking chair, sipping imperial wine, thoroughly enjoying himself.
After a long while, Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief and came to Xu Xian: "We're done, want to take a look?"
"good!"
Xiaoqing, with her head held high, led Xu Xian to the top floor of the treasure pavilion as if seeking credit.
"These are all top-tier treasures. Take a look."
Xu Xian looked around and saw two shelves placed there.
On the shelf to the left are thirteen gourds, among which are the elixirs of Laozi.
"These pills are of varying quality—no, these are pills refined by Laozi himself, they are all good, no bad!"
Xiaoqing felt she was quite humorous, chuckled twice, and continued, "Because there are different types of pills, some are still in a semi-finished state, so we have categorized them."
Xu Xian looked closely and indeed saw that the thirteen gourds were inscribed with the words "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir (Raw)," "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir (Mature)," and "Nine-Turn Great Rejuvenating Elixir (Mature)."
"What a pity, this is a pill refined by Laozi. In the entire Three Realms, there should be no one else who can turn this raw pill into a mature pill."
The medicinal properties of the pills are indeed very potent, but their toxicity is also strong.
It's not that they can't be taken, but taking one would probably require refining for a thousand or eight hundred years.
The shelf on the left was filled with gourds containing elixirs, while the shelf on the right held peaches that had been growing for nine thousand years.
These peaches are extremely precious and can be compared to ginseng fruit.
If mortals consume this, they will live as long as heaven and earth, and be as old as the sun and moon!
"Very good. What about the other treasures?"
"Hehe, I'm downstairs~"
