Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#289 - Chapter 288 Birthday Celebration

Two Dragon Mountain, originally named Coiling Dragon Mountain, was famous for its mountain range resembling a coiling dragon. There were only a few spiritual veins under this mountain, not even small spiritual caves, so the spiritual energy in the mountain was quite thin, and no natural treasures could be seen. Few cultivators patronized this place.

Later, the Fire Dragon King and the Water Dragon King took a fancy to this place and opened the Two Dragon Mountain Dojo, recruiting many rogue cultivators within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles.

The remaining rogue cultivators who did not obey orders were either driven away or beheaded. Those who remained were mostly placed under restrictions. To survive, they honestly became vassals.

Two Dragon Mountain has seventy-eight majestic peaks within a radius of a thousand miles, the two highest of which are where the two Dragon Kings reside. The slightly higher peak on the west side is called Crimson Cloud Peak, which is the location of the Great Dragon King's palace. The slightly shorter peak on the east side is called Azure Water Peak, which is the place where the Second Dragon King cultivates.

This day was the Second Dragon King's three-hundredth birthday. Azure Water Peak, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, was filled with banners and flags, and the fragrance of immortal music. People came to offer birthday congratulations in an endless stream.

Among them, there were not only the heads of dozens of bandit cultivator forces in the surrounding area, but also some relatives of secular kingdoms, who hired familiar Qi Refining cultivators with heavy money to bring them up the mountain and offer generous gifts.

"Oh, isn't this Leader Xiao? You've finally arrived!" Standing under the white jade archway at the foot of the mountain to greet guests was Long Qi, a trusted steward under the Second Dragon King. When he saw Xiao You Song taking the lead, he immediately trotted over, speaking with a slightly reproachful tone.

Long Qi was a Foundation Establishment Stage intermediate cultivator, born fair and clean, with a face like a full moon and eyes like soybeans. When he smiled, his flesh squeezed together, which was very喜感 (hard to translate, implies humorous and likeable). Behind him, followed thirty or forty followers, a dark mass, appearing quite impressive.

"Oh dear, to have the chief steward welcome me personally, Xiao某 (a humble way to refer to oneself) doesn't dare to accept it!" Xiao You Song's face was filled with a smile, and he quickly greeted him, but a hint of suspicion appeared in his eyes, "Is it still early? Why does it sound like I'm late, according to the chief steward's meaning?"

Long Qi didn't even look at Zhang Yuan Jing and Fire Crow Daoist standing behind Xiao You Song. He grabbed Xiao You Song, waved his hand to dismiss a few followers who wanted to approach, and walked towards the mountain.

"Let me tell you, Old Long, the master wants to accept that Xuan Tian Sect kid as a disciple at the birthday ceremony! Alas, Old Long, I pleaded and persuaded him, using up all my words, but for months, I couldn't get that kid to agree. Later, the master personally took action, but it was still useless. Look, he's still at a loss now.

"The Great Dragon King said, if he doesn't agree, just take him out and chop him up. Why bother repeatedly? But, the master doesn't agree. He said that he had already spread the word. Who among the cultivators within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles doesn't know that his Second Dragon King will accept a good disciple at the birthday banquet? If he can't fulfill it, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face? How else can he混 (a colloquial term for 'get by') in this area!"

Xiao You Song chuckled: "This kid is so tough? He's not even afraid of death? If that's the case, it's really difficult!"

Long Qi slapped his thigh hard: "Who says it isn't! He's not even afraid of death, how can we persuade him!"

Xiao You Song almost rolled his eyes when he heard this, and muttered in his heart: What you're doing is scaring, not persuading.

But on the surface, he agreed: "That's right, that's right, this kind of person is like a rock in a latrine, stinky and hard. Why bother with him!"

Long Qi shook his head: "It won't work! The master has given a death order. He must accept a disciple at the birthday banquet, and it has to be this kid. You know the master's temper. He's really like an ox. Even the Great Dragon King's words don't work. I estimate that even if a few more dragons come, they won't be able to pull him back!"

Xiao You Song chuckled: "Old Long, if the Second Dragon King knew you were slandering him like this, he would skin you alive!"

Long Qi said with a mournful face: "If I can't persuade that kid, Old Long, I won't even be able to wait until that day. I'm afraid my head will fall before the birthday banquet!"

Xiao You Song was stunned: "The Second Dragon King has entrusted this matter to you?"

Long Qi's large round face twitched: "Otherwise? Why would Old Long be so anxious!"

Xiao You Song stared at Long Qi, and Long Qi stared back at him.

Xiao You Song said unhappily: "Old Long, we've been friends for twenty years. You wouldn't sell me out, would you!"

Long Qi said angrily: "What do you mean sell you out! You said it yourself, we've been friends for twenty years. Are you going to stand by and watch me die? Besides, I'm helping you by recommending you to the master. From now on, the master will think highly of you!"

Xiao You Song was dumbfounded. He didn't expect this person to be so shameless. For a moment, he couldn't find any words to refute, and his thighs trembled with anger.

Long Qi looked back sneakily a few times and said in a low voice: "Weren't you originally from a subsidiary sect of the Xuan Tian Sect? Go and get close to that kid and persuade him. You can make any promises first, just get through this hurdle. As for what happens later, let the Second Dragon King worry about it himself."

Xiao You Song was about to deny him outright when he heard Zhang Yuan Jing's voice transmission: "Promise him, and go to the place where Huo Zheng Kai is being held first. I want to save this Foundation Establishment Stage disciple!"

Having received Zhang Yuan Jing's instructions, Xiao You Song pretended to be both angry and helpless, and said angrily to Long Qi: "Stop talking nonsense. It won't be long before the birthday banquet starts. Take me there quickly!"

Long Qi was overjoyed when he heard this and said repeatedly: "Let's go now, let's go now."

After saying that, he raised his hand and summoned a thin, tree-trunk-like early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator and casually ordered: "Yu Jiu, take Leader Xiao's men to the Golden Clam Palace to rest first, and then take them to the large square in front of the Jade Green Palace before the birthday banquet starts... Huh, these two brothers look a little unfamiliar. Why didn't Old Qian and the others come?"

Xiao You Song snorted and said unhappily: "Recently, some guys have been disobedient and haven't paid the spiritual stones they should. Old Qian took people to clean them up! These two just joined not long ago. I brought them here to broaden their horizons! Alas, Old Long, they don't know anyone in the Golden Clam Palace, so let them go with me!"

Long Qi shook his head: "No way. The master values that kid very much and has locked him up in the Dragon King Hall. Without his order, I can't just bring people in!"

This time, Zhang Yuan Jing only brought Fire Crow Daoist, Ape Thirteen, and Azure-Eyed Suan猊 Beast. The two beasts were naturally kept in the spirit beast pouch, and the others were waiting in a secret place tens of thousands of miles away from Two Dragon Mountain.

Xiao You Song looked back at Zhang Yuan Jing, and Zhang Yuan Jing nodded slightly. Xiao You Song then waved his hand and said in a rough voice: "You two, stay in the Golden Clam Palace obediently and don't run around. Be careful not to violate the Dragon King's rules. You might get beaten before you even get to eat the banquet!"

While speaking, he received Zhang Yuan Jing's voice transmission: "Report my name to Huo Zheng Kai. If he knows me, tell him to come to the birthday ceremony and say that I am here waiting for him."

Xiao You Song was puzzled, wondering what the relationship between this Huo Zheng Kai and Zhang Yuan Jing was. He followed the chattering Long Qi and quickly headed towards the mountain.
