Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Days passed peacefully for half a month.
Xu Zhangqing stood on the spirit field ridge, looking at the rare spirit plants he had planted.
Suddenly sensing something, he raised his head and looked to the right side.
Only to see that among the maple trees beside him, one leaf had strangely begun to grow.
As if it had experienced three seasons of the four seasons, then detached from the branch, withering as it fell.
When the wind blew, it just happened to drift toward him.
Xu Zhangqing extended his right hand, spreading his palm to catch it.
The next second, as spiritual light flashed, his master's voice suddenly resounded.
"Disciple, there is something I need you to help with."
"What is it?"
"Immortal Maiden Qingyue of the Inviting Moon Immortal Sect will soon celebrate her three-thousandth birthday banquet."
"Teacher should have gone personally, but unfortunately I am elsewhere with your Eldest Senior Sister and cannot leave temporarily, so you go in my place for one trip."
"She wouldn't be your former Dao Companion, would she?"
"Cough cough, once indeed there was a bit..."
Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing raised his eyebrows; he had long heard the name of Immortal Maiden Qingyue.
She is the Vice Sect Master of the Inviting Moon Immortal Sect.
Her cultivation is unfathomable, and her status in the Tianyuan Realm is exalted.
Her three-thousandth birthday banquet must be extremely lively.
As the maple leaf in his palm withered, the two ended their communication.
Xu Zhangqing thought it over and over, but did not plan to leave the immortal sect.
He pondered for a moment, and suddenly had an idea.
"Zixiao."
"Master."
"Disguise yourself as my appearance, bring Frost Sister, An'an, and Wangwang, and go to the Inviting Moon Immortal Sect to attend Immortal Maiden Qingyue's birthday banquet."
"Ob..."
"Wait, let me ask Old Hu, Old Zhao, San Cai Senior Brother, Pei Mo, and Han Su if those few are going!"
With the Phantom Mask, Xu Zixiao's appearance instantly became exactly the same as Xu Zhangqing's, even imitating his aura vividly.
San Cai Senior Brother declined.
Hu Bugui agreed immediately, and also brought along the pregnant Lin Xiaoyan.
Seeing that everyone was going, Zhao Ziyue did not refuse either.
What's more, the Inviting Moon Immortal Sect is not simple.
Beautiful women elsewhere are merely a description.
But there, they became a quantity.
"Everyone is gathered, let's set out."
Because Xu Zhangqing did not plan to go, this time the travel tool was not the Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat.
Instead, Hu Bugui took action, piloting a rather luxurious flying ship to take them there.
Unexpectedly, halfway there, a streak of light chased after them from the side.
The arrival was none other than Second Senior Brother Zhou Yan, and his Dao Companion Su Tiantian.
Zhou Yan asked with a smile: "Senior Brother Changqing, are you also going to the Inviting Moon Immortal Sect to attend the birthday banquet?"
Xu Zixiao nodded slightly, his voice imitating Xu Zhangqing without the slightest difference: "Second Senior Brother, since we've met, let's go together."
Zhou Yan glanced at Su Tiantian, seeing she said nothing, then nodded: "Fine."
More people means more company.
What's more, they are acquaintances.
The flying ship set off again, and reached its destination in less than half a day.
Looking from afar, the Inviting Moon Immortal Sect was situated on a Floating Xianfeng.
Dozens of white jade immortal peaks floated among the sea of clouds, peaks layered upon peaks, mist swirling.
The Spirit Vein Qi was so rich it almost condensed into substance; inhaling a breath made one feel refreshed and clear-headed.
Between the immortal peaks were connected crystal-clear Spirit Jade Bridges, on which immortal maidens dressed in plain white or pale blue skirts occasionally walked gracefully.
Each had a graceful figure and an elegant temperament.
Their skin was even more smooth and lustrous like jade, as if condensed moonlight, tender and delicate.
As the flying ship approached the immortal sect's ferry, two female disciples dressed in moon-white Daoist robes came forward to welcome them, their expressions gentle yet not lacking dignity: "May I ask which Dao Friend you come from?"
Xu Zixiao said lightly: "Dongting Immortal Sect, Spirit Field Office of Cultivation, Qingmu Peak Peak Master Mu Ji's personally transmitted sixth disciple, Xu Zhangqing!"
The two female disciples were surprised: "So it is Dongting Immortal Sect's Xu Sikong in person!"
Afterwards they were smoothly allowed through, and his group was permitted to enter the heart of the immortal sect.
Along the way, strange flowers and rare grasses covered the ground, and immortal trees grew lush and dense.
Crystal-clear spirit fruits hung from the trees, exuding a tempting fragrance.
Clear spirit springs flowed between the mountains, spirit fish frolicked in the spring water, occasionally leaping above the water surface and sending up ripples.
Second Senior Brother Zhou Yan suddenly sent a voice transmission: "Junior Brother."
The factions of the Inviting Moon Immortal Sect were numerous, with the "Inviting Moon Faction" led by Immortal Maiden Qingyue being the most powerful, advocating non-action and non-interference, and its disciples under the sect having gentle dispositions.
There was also the "Burning Moon Faction," which acted decisively and had long competed with the Inviting Moon Faction.
There was also the "Embracing Moon Faction," which was in charge of diplomacy and trade, and its disciples were mostly skilled in socializing.
Tiantian's aunt was one of the high-level members of the Burning Moon Faction."
Xu Zhangqing, or Xu Zixiao, nodded after listening.
Soon, everyone arrived at Immortal Maiden Qingyue's residence, Yuexin Hall.
This hall was situated at the peak of the immortal mountain, entirely constructed from Moonhua Jade.
The hall roof was inlaid with a huge Night Pearl, which even in daytime poured forth a soft and clear radiance.
And the place where the birthday banquet was held was the Inviting Moon Plaza ahead.
The plaza was paved with pure white cloud-pattern jade bricks, and in the center stood a moon osmanthus tree ten zhang tall.
Its branches were lush, covered in golden moon osmanthus flowers, with fragrance permeating the entire plaza.
Over a hundred jade tables were arranged around the plaza, already laden with spirit fruits and spirit wine, with a dedicated person playing elegant immortal music, the atmosphere grand and refined.
After arriving at the plaza, the guests stepped forward one by one to present their congratulatory gifts.
Zhao Ziyue went first, presenting a Thousand Carp River Map.
Han Su carried a jade box containing three jin of Xuanling Marrow.
Next was Pei Mo, who presented a diagram of the Seven Stars Gathering Spirit Array.
Hu Bugui and Lin Xiaoyan together presented a pair of top-grade jade talismans.
As for Zhou Yan and Su Tiantian, they joined hands to present a jar of Centennial Drunken Immortal Brew.
Finally it was "Xu Zhangqing's" turn; he represented his master, himself, and his family, producing a ripened Thousand-year Yuexin Grass.
This thing, if one understood it, would know how precious it was.
By contrast, those who understood nothing thought the gift was just ordinary.
At least compared with the others, it seemed slightly less impressive.
After Xu Zhangqing and the others finished presenting their gifts, a commotion came from the entrance, and then guests from various sects arrived in an unending stream.
"Immortal Maiden Qingyue's three thousandth birthday, the Qingyun Sect respectfully presents a Nine-turn Reincarnation Mushroom, wishing Immortal Maiden Qingyue a lifespan equal to heaven!"
"The Give Birth Sect has nothing rare, only three Burning Heaven Pills, wishing the Immortal Maiden progress in her Dao and a healthy immortal body!"
"The Wanfa Pavilion presents one Myriad Phenomena Treasure Mirror, wishing the Immortal Maiden discerning eyes to recognize truth and a smooth path of immortality!"
"Bai Cao Valley presents a Ten-thousand-year Snow Lotus, this item can cure a hundred poisons and nourish the immortal body!"
One big shot after another appeared, all presenting birthday gifts.
The scene became increasingly grand, leaving everyone dazzled.
Only after one hour did it stop.
After everyone was seated, the birthday banquet officially began.
Spirit dishes were served one after another, all cooked with rare spiritual materials.
Rhinoceros Beast Liver slices stir-fried with Zixia Grass, tender and fresh upon entry, with spiritual energy overflowing.
Jade cakes steamed with Colorful Phoenix Eggs, garnished with Spirit Honey, sweet but not cloying, nourishing spiritual power.
The fresh soup stewed from Deep Sea Spirit Fish was milky white in color, fresh and fragrant, and drinking a sip made the meridians flow smoothly.
The spirit fruits and spirit wine on the table were too numerous to count.
The bright red Fire Flame Fruits were sweet with a hint of spice, able to enhance Fire Spirit Power.
The translucent Star Grapes flashed with spiritual light, containing a weak Star Power.
Moon Osmanthus Wine was brewed from moon osmanthus petals and spirit spring water, with a clean and crisp wine aroma; drinking it could calm the mind!
