The daily life of a genius who enjoys gossip and cultivates immortality

Chapter 153 Mahayana Ritual 11

With all the major forces present, the six watched the Lin Dynasty's entourage depart, feeling somewhat weary.

"Who's left in the end?" Cheng Jiu put down the red jade ornament in his hand and moved closer to Chang Yue.

Gongcheng and Gongyu also had two red jade ornaments, but they didn't really care for them and had already put them away in their rings.

Chang Yue handed the list to Cheng Jiu, who counted eight names.

It's getting late. The mortal realm dynasties have been causing quite a commotion for a while now, and the banquet venue is basically all set up!

"Are we late?" a clear, youthful voice rang out.

Everyone looked ahead and saw a flash of white light, and a huge bird landed on the jade platform.

The boy perched atop the giant bird, looking down at the four of them. As if he had seen something, he leaped off the bird.

"Gong-ge's son, come and call me uncle." The boy moved nimbly, and before the others could react, a pair of large hands were already on Gong Cheng and Gong Yu's heads: "Do you remember your uncle? I held you when you were just born."

Gong Cheng and Gong Yu blushed. They were both grown up now, but the other party's tone still treated them like children. However, they did not resist and obediently called out, "Uncle Feng Jue."

"Hey!" Immortal Lord Feng Jue patted the two of them on the head and looked at Cheng Jiu: "What a pretty little girl, you must be from the Qingxu family."

When Qingyang asked me about cultivation techniques before, he mentioned you, and I was a little skeptical.

Qingxu has very high standards; he hasn't shown any interest in taking on disciples all these years.

I thought no one could catch my eye.

"It's really good that Da Zong is doing so well; Qingxu has finally found a disciple he likes."

As Feng Jue Xianjun spoke, one hand restlessly touched Cheng Jiu's head, while the other hand randomly touched the heads of Gong Cheng and Gong Yu brothers, as if he were judging whose head was easier to touch.

"Greetings, Immortal Lord Feng Jue." Cheng Jiu was already used to it.

After only two swings of the Wind Technique Immortal Lord's weapon, he put it down: "This time, besides representing myself, I'm also representing the Array Alliance!"

He winked at the three of them: "How about it? Excited? Happy? This time you can receive two gifts!"

The three of them cheered enthusiastically, clapping and shouting, "Great!"

"Alright, quiet, quiet. Your Uncle Feng Jue will be distributing the gifts to you! This is for you. I heard from your master that you really like fans, so I specially went to the mortal realm to get one!" Immortal Lord Feng Jue took out a fan and handed it to Gong Cheng.

Miyagi accepted it with a smile.

"This is for Xiao Gongyu. If I had known you had such a talent for formations, I should have asked your father to make you my apprentice."

It's pitiful that I'm so old and don't even have a disciple. Little Gong Yu, would you be willing to be my disciple?

"If you're willing, I'll ask your master for you right now. He already has two disciples, what does he need so many for!" Immortal Lord Fengjue handed a book on formations to Gong Yu, blinking his eyes with anticipation.

Gong Yu felt a sudden heat in his hand as he held the rare array book. Seeing the boy's expectant expression, Gong Yu hardened his heart and said, "Master is very good to me and my brother!"

"Alright!" The boy was a little disappointed, like a big dog that had been soaked. He turned to look at Cheng Jiu, and his tone became lively again: "This is something I specially picked out for you, my little nephew. I know you girls love pretty jewelry the most. I specially picked it out from Ling Guang. Take a look and see if you like it. If you don't, I'll take you to his private collection to choose another one!"

Immortal Lord Fengjue presented a delicate hairpin, adorned with auspicious cloud patterns and nine beads engraved with a defensive array. This was actually a ninth-grade defensive spiritual artifact!

Grade 9 spiritual artifacts are already precious, and Grade 9 defensive spiritual artifacts are even more outstanding. Moreover, there is no defensive hairpin that is made so small and exquisite, so the price will increase many times over!

"I love it!" How could I not love it? Not only can it be carried around without being noticed, but it can also save my life in a critical moment!

"If you like it, that's good. I always said I have good taste!" Feng Jue Xianjun's eyes curved slightly when he saw how much she liked it.

"You have a good eye; you picked out the best one in my collection at a glance." A steady voice rang out.

Looking over, Cheng Jiu and the other two saw Chang Yue leading three immortal lords over. The one who spoke was the leader, an immortal lord with an extremely robust physique and bulging muscles all over his body. He was dressed in short clothes and looked like a ferocious beast, exuding a fierce aura.

"Ling Guang, you guys are really slow!"

Ling Guang? Cheng Jiu was somewhat surprised. Sigh, she had seen his appearance before and thought he was a handsome and refined immortal lord because of his name. But with his physique, all her previous guesses were overturned. It turned out that she had judged him by his appearance.

"I'm truly sorry to have kept Immortal Lord Fengjue waiting." Immortal Lord Lingguang sneered, "Not everyone's spirit beast can come and go like the wind, disappearing in an instant like your Gale Bird."

Immortal Lord Fengjue looked embarrassed by Immortal Lord Lingguang's words. "Come, let me introduce you. This is Qingxu's disciple, and these two are Brother Gong's sons, who are also Qingyang's disciples!"

"I saw it just now!" Seeing that the other party had taken the initiative to beg for mercy, Lingguang Immortal Lord did not hold a grudge and his expression softened as he looked at the three of them.

"Gong Ge's son." The little old man next to him, with his back turned, stared at Gong Cheng and Gong Yu with fervent eyes, scrutinizing them carefully from head to toe.

Gong Cheng and Gong Yu were both a little annoyed, while the old man nodded with a look of satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad! He has two or three tenths of the style that Brother Gong once had. Look at this little face, it's almost like it was made from the same mold as Brother Gong."

Those present did not sense his heartfelt exclamation, including Miyagi Miyagi, who all felt a little uneasy.

Looking at the two brothers whose eyes were filled with fear, Lingguang Immortal Lord couldn't help but rub his forehead: "Changsheng, I know you admire that guy Gong Sidao, you've scared these two little guys!"

A look of grievance flashed across the old man's face. Actually, the old man wasn't ugly; there were no ugly people in the cultivation world. But this expression on the old man's face was still inexplicably jarring, giving off a sense of guilt for mistreating the elderly.

Cheng Jiu, in particular, felt a pang of conscience: "Senior Brother Gongcheng and Senior Brother Gongyu were not frightened; it's just that the seniors were too enthusiastic."

Gongcheng and Gong Yu nodded quickly. "Yes, yes! It's just that senior is too enthusiastic!"

Lingguang Immortal Lord looked at the three of them and sighed, speechless. They were tricked again, and three of them at that.

Feng Jue Immortal Lord was eating melon seeds with another immortal lord nearby.

"That old fox is lying again. He doesn't even have a conscience, deceiving a child like that!" Elder Xiao Ming looked at the Immortal Lord of Longevity's act with disdain.

Immortal Lord Fengjue looked at Elder Xiaoming and said in a low voice, "I heard before that you had a conflict with Qingxu's disciples. Why did the Medicine Alliance send you here this time?"

Elder Xiao Ming's eyes flashed with annoyance upon hearing this: "Why can't I represent the Medicine Alliance?"

"Tch, aren't you traumatized by that Qingxu guy? Tell me, I won't tell anyone!" Feng Jue Immortal Lord saw his agitated expression and, based on his experience, knew there was definitely something going on!

Immortal Lord Xiao Ming didn't want to pay attention to this opportunistic guy: "No!"

"Tell me, Xiaoming, we're like family! You know I'll keep bothering you if I don't give you my full authority!" Fengjue Immortal Lord was already interested and wasn't so easily dismissed.

"Don't call me Xiao Ming!" Immortal Lord Xiao Ming snapped. Enough already! How shameless of this old guy to use that name!

"Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming!" Immortal Lord Fengjue immediately responded with a triple tap: "Are you going to tell me or not? If I find out myself, then it won't be fun!"

"Stop reading and stop pulling my clothes. You're so old, yet you're as childish as my son!"

Xiao Mingxian pulled at the clothes that the other party was holding, but he didn't dare to use force. The other party had a lot of strength. If he really used force, this guy definitely wouldn't let go, and the clothes would be torn. Don't doubt it, this guy is capable of doing it.

"Xiao Ming, your language is so foul!" Immortal Lord Feng Jue said with a look of disgust. His idiot son was quite famous among the Immortal Lords.

How could Xiao Mingxianjun not know? He immediately broke down and said, "Are you going to listen or not? If not, go back to the palace. Staying here is annoying."

"Listen! Listen! Listen!" Feng Jue Immortal Lord was not going to fight too much.

"What other reason could there be? That old man Huo Yan! He said I had a relationship with Qingxu and his disciple, and the other old men were just watching the show and decided to vote me out!" Elder Xiao Ming rolled his eyes.

"Pfft!" Immortal Lord Fengjue seemed to recall the scene of catching the horse.

"If you want to laugh, go somewhere else!" Xiao Mingxian rolled his eyes. He knew that he wasn't well-liked in the Medicine Alliance because of his son.

Thinking about it, I suddenly felt a bit melancholy. At least the little girl didn't suffer too much injustice at the Medicine Alliance. I hope that Qingxu will take his own Mahayana ceremony into consideration and not cause him any trouble!

Looking at the two brothers who seemed somewhat guilty and Cheng Jiu who was a little soft-hearted, Lingguang Immortal Lord said speechlessly, "You three, don't be fooled by him. In terms of age, he is the youngest among us. He just had a mishap in his cultivation and has aged so much!"

To be fair, he and Brother Gong had a mentor-student relationship back then. In terms of seniority, you could call him senior brother!

"Senior brother?" Gong Cheng Gong Yu was completely shocked.

Cheng Jiu carefully examined the other person and felt truly sorry, as he couldn't see anything amiss and couldn't bring himself to say it.

Gong Cheng and Gong Yu, even though the sect leader usually calls them grandmaster uncles, they can still accept treating them as senior brothers because they look very young.

But this senior brother apologized, saying that they felt their mental fortitude wasn't strong enough to call an elderly man who looked to be over sixty "senior brother."

Especially since this is the cultivation world, someone with this appearance is an old monster who has lived for countless years. The cultivation world does not emphasize respecting the elderly and caring for the young, but human instincts still occasionally prevail.

Seeing the three of them completely shocked, Feng Jue Xianjun and Elder Xiao Ming, who had been paying close attention, couldn't help but chuckle.

"I think Ling Guang, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, is no less wicked than anyone else." Elder Xiao Ming was annoyed by Elder Feng Jue beside him, but what could he do when he was the only one he could talk to?

The others are all juniors; he's not that shameless.

"Finally, someone has seen through his true nature!" Immortal Lord Fengjue said with a look of relief. "I've told you not to assume that all body cultivators are honest, simple-minded, and single-minded. Ling Guang is definitely a mutated type of body cultivator. He was involved in all those bad ideas back then, but I was the one who carried them out. Unfortunately, no one believed me!"

"Hehehe! Birds of a feather flock together. I don't believe that the floating arrays that were everywhere in the Herbal Flower Secret Realm five hundred years ago were all his idea, and that he didn't participate at all!" Elder Xiao Ming's eyes were filled with disdain. How could this shameless person absolve himself of all responsibility?

"Wow, you're so vengeful! Five hundred years have passed, and you still remember it!" Feng Jue Immortal Lord exclaimed dramatically.

"I'll remember this for a lifetime! You, Gong Sidao, Song Qing, Qingxu, Qingyang, Lingguang, and Qianming with his thick eyebrows and big eyes!"

The seven of them completely plundered the once-in-a-millennium spiritual herb secret realm, leaving not a single drop for anyone else. "I was the unlucky guy you tricked and couldn't get down from the sky!"

Elder Xiao Ming's tone was full of resentment. After all, he had finally managed to turn his luck around in that secret realm and encountered a lost medicinal herb that he desperately needed. However, he was immediately pinned to the air by the floating array as soon as he got close.

These scoundrels not only stood guard beside him, but also locked his spirit. After looting all his treasures, he floated in the sky until the Herb Flower Secret Realm closed. Damn it, these guys!

"Oh!" Feng Jue Xianjun drawled out.

Elder Xiao Ming tried to see a hint of guilt in his eyes.

"You were one of them? I don't remember!"

"Bastards!" Elder Xiao Ming was furious. "I knew that anyone who could hang out with Gong Sidao, Qingxu, and Qingyang was a scoundrel!"

"Believe it or not, I'll tell Qingxu on you!" Fengjue Immortal Lord showed no remorse whatsoever.

"..." Elder Xiao Ming's previously boiling emotions suddenly subsided, and he strode towards Cheng Jiu and the other two. Why should he pay attention to him! It's too infuriating, he shouldn't have spoken.

"A gift for meeting you!" He forcefully shoved three rings into the hands of the three people: "No need to see me off, I'll go to the reception hall myself!"

Watching Elder Xiao Ming leave in a huff, Immortal Lord Ling Guang, who had been exchanging pleasantries, glanced speechlessly at his friend. Well, the four alliances had come together for a rare occasion, and now they'd taken him away again.

"Don't blame me!" Immortal Lord Fengjue said with a grin, "I didn't do anything!"

"We won't disturb you two young masters any longer." That's right, the Immortal Lord of Longevity directly addressed the two as "young masters," while their father was called "Master Gong."

Together with Immortal Lord Lingguang, they handed the gifts to the three of them, and then Immortal Lord Fengjue chased after Elder Xiaoming.

We can't let others think that the four alliances have a bad relationship. Elder Xiao Ming, who was in front, had his shoulder put on by Immortal Lord Feng Jue. Although he looked disgusted, he did not stop it.

With four people leaving, only five people remained. Who would have thought that three of them would come as representatives of the four alliances?

"Senior Brother Nan, what brings you here!" Just as the group was preparing to greet the remaining guests, they saw Nan Xingze flying over on a jade carving.

"Junior sister, how many guests are there?" Nan Xingze asked.

“There are five more!” Chang Yue replied.

"The numbers match up! These five immortal lords arrived early, but they didn't know they should come to the Jade Platform. Instead, they went directly to visit Master. Master received them, and then they went straight to find Immortal Lords Qingxu and Qingyang."

When the banquet begins, the two immortal lords will come together, so I am here to inform you.

"The guests have all arrived, and the auspicious time is approaching. My senior uncles, please go and make preparations so as not to miss the auspicious time!" Nan Xingze told the others to go and make preparations; there was no need to receive the guests.

Cheng Jiu and Gong Cheng Gong Yu indicated that they understood and mounted the little cloud beast: "Then we'll go back and prepare first. Senior brother, senior sister, see you at the Mahayana Ceremony!"

"Alright, see you at the Mahayana Ceremony!" Chang Yue and Qin Che said.

"Senior Brother Li, would you like to leave with us?" Cheng asked, looking at Li Weixin.

"No, I'm going to Lefeng to find my master." Li Wei thought of his master, whom he didn't know where he had lost. He was still representing the Longyuan Sect, and he still wanted to be with his master.

“Alright! There are senior brothers at the rental office over there. If you don’t know the way, you can ride a spirit beast there. Today, all guests of the Mahayana Ceremony can travel for free!” Cheng Jiu pointed to the senior brothers on the platform next to him.

"Thank you, junior sister, don't worry!" Li Weixin was also troubled by not knowing the way; it was his first time here too! Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and headed towards the senior brother!

Cheng Jiu and the other two also returned to their respective peaks to prepare.
