182 Immortal peach
“...... He can really take this out! Isn't he in the Qi Refining Period?"
At this time, although the expression on Ji Tiandu's face barely remained unchanged, he secretly pinched the seat handle in his hand, and unknowingly left two finger prints on the wood.
Kunlun Xiantao is famous all over the world, as long as you are a cultivator, it is impossible not to have heard of it. If there is a high-ranking family in the mortal world to celebrate his birthday, he often uses this as a joke - "Your family is rich and powerful, do you have the ability to let your children and grandchildren get a Kunlun peach?", which is the most common stalk for those old people to laugh at each other.
Folk magic, juggling, but also often after a dazzling operation, brush out a plate of peaches, claiming to be a treasure stolen from Kunlun, for which the life of the son and grandson, the peach did not dare to ask for money, just to throw a few burial expenses and so on...... Although they all know that it is fake, they often laugh at it and get a lot of money.
But if you want to really see Kunlun Xiantao, it is not something that ordinary people can do. Ji Tiandu was also stained with his father's light, and followed him to Hojing as a son, so he was fortunate to see his true face. Before that, I had only heard about it in various legends.
And that day, after returning from the banquet, he had talked to his father about this thing - the peach tree on Kunlun Mountain that is said to have been handed down by the heavenly immortals, the 10,000-year-old peach and the thousand-year-old peach belong to the immortal gate, and the mortal monks dare not think about it, but it is the third and fourth generations of the hundred-year-old peach tree, which has multiplied hundreds of thousands so far.
However, since a single plant only bears fruit once every 100 years, Kunlun can only harvest it every year. If this hundred-year-old immortal peach is taken simply as an elixir, it is not much different from a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, a hundred-year-old snow lotus, and the like. But it has a unique effect – it prolongs life. Especially for the mortal elderly, its effect of replenishing qi and returning to the source and warming the body is no second immortal medicine in the whole world that can be compared.
Even if the elderly who are seriously ill and about to die, eating a Kunlun hundred-year-old peach can at least prolong their life for a lifetime. If you are young and strong, and you have not yet reached the stage of running out of oil, such as fifty or sixty years old, you can keep your body light and healthy after taking this immortal peach. As long as you don't encounter an accident or a serious illness, you can generally be 100 years old.
Therefore, although this Kunlun peach is a treasure of the immortal family, in most cases, it is given to mortals for use - as an elixir, it has many substitutes. And the immortal cultivator himself has a long life, so there is no need to use this to prolong his life. It can be used to extend the life of ordinary mortals, but it is unique.
Of course, the status of mortals who can enjoy this thing is absolutely extraordinary. At the beginning of Emperor Jingyao's birthday in the capital city, Xi Kunlun gave him eight immortal peaches, and as far as Xi Tiandu knew, all of them were given away later - Emperor Jingyao himself was a cultivator, so he didn't need to borrow immortal peaches to prolong his life. Those peaches were meant to buy people's hearts for him.
Emperor Jing Yao is magnanimous in popularity, and he doesn't care about these external objects, and the distribution of these immortal peaches is the same as the quota of the West Kunlun Mountain, which is all in turn among the qualified people. And as a prince of the family, he has not been able to turn it so far.
If it weren't for the extremely noble status, only people close to Kunlun might get this treasure. But when Ji Wuji was talking to his son, he also said that the disciples of the Qi Refining Period on Kunlun Mountain were probably not qualified to get their hands on such treasures—because even if they were exchanged within Kunlun, the price of this immortal peach would be equivalent to a magic weapon. Even if the Qi Refining Stage cultivators had this net worth, it was unlikely that they would use it to exchange it for something that would not help them much.
Unexpectedly, the person in front of him not only redeemed it, but also took out two at once...... As an apprentice of the West Kunlun Sect, can you really do whatever you want?
Ji Tiandu, who grew up with a golden key in his mouth and has always thought that he belongs to the children of top wealthy families, suddenly felt a faint sadness at this moment, quite a bit of the taste when he dealt with those Ji children in the pickaxe capital. Sure enough, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky!
When I was secretly sighing, I suddenly heard someone next to me whispering:
"Little Marquis, this ...... Is it true?"
On the table next to him, the chief manager Bai who came to watch the ceremony asked each other, and when he saw him, he nodded secretly. Manager Bai immediately turned his head, but smiled at a certain head of the family who was at the same table with him:
"That's right, that's Kunlun Xiantao. I think that when the old man walked the rivers and lakes, he had seen it once at the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Great Zhou Weiguo Mansion. But I was fortunate enough to see it today. ”
The latter exhaled softly:
"Whew...... It turns out that this is Kunlun Xiantao, today is really a long insight!"
...... As similar conversations slowly spread across the seats, the words of contempt and ridicule quickly faded away like the scorching sun melted snow. The visitors began to boast about how precious and rare the treasure was, and where they had seen similar objects, to show that they had seen a big scene.
However, at a certain table, there are still a few children of noble families who are quietly criticizing. At this time, they didn't doubt the authenticity of the immortal peach, so they turned to question Huang Chang's experience in the rivers and lakes:
"This Huang family Saburo is also too arrogant, such a precious treasure of the immortal family, if you take it out in such a big way, you are not afraid of provoking the strongman to covet it and bring trouble to your own family?"
Hearing this, a Jianghu man sitting with him next to him let out a rather contemptuous laugh from his nose. When those people all turned their heads to look this way, they chuckled again:
"Brothers, don't you smell of it - other immortal elixirs and spiritual objects are hidden for fear of being known. This is the only one, but it is unnecessary, and most of them appear at mortal birthday banquets. ”
"Why is that?"
"It's very simple - if this treasure is used as an elixir for monks to replenish qi and increase vitality, it is equivalent to a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, a hundred-year-old ginseng. But with the ability of a cultivator, where can such an elixir be found? Why risk offending the Kunlun disciples and hit this peach idea?"
"Then if you take it back to your relatives...... For example, how about prolonging the life of the elderly in the family?"
Those noble sons argued unconvinced, but they attracted an idiot look from the people in the rivers and lakes:
"Are you sure it's about prolonging their lives and not causing trouble?"
Those people thought that it really made sense, so they didn't dwell on this point.
............
The birthday banquet was held very successfully, just as Mr. Bai suggested, by holding such a banquet, the fact that "the Huang family has risen" finally began to be gradually accepted by the major families of the country. Even those ordinary people who are lonely and uninformed about the outside world have begun to talk about the Huang family's birthday banquet in their daily lives.
For some, though, it's a thrill......
