Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends
Chapter 71, Banquet

Chapter 71: Chapter 71, Banquet

"Send a disciple to Heavenly Court to trade with the Heavenly Court Demon God using Merit Money; it’s just a piece of meat, very easy to buy. Remember to find Fu Xi first to have him handle it, otherwise be careful not to lose both money and item."

Shi Ji widened his eyes and said, "Can we really do that? Will they sell it?"

"If someone offered you Merit Money for a piece of meat, would you agree?"

After hesitating a moment, Shi Ji nodded and said, "I would agree, it’s just a piece of meat after all, it can grow back."

"That’s it then. There are things in this world that can’t be traded, but a few pieces of meat aren’t among them. Hurry and go!"

"Yes!" Shi Ji turned and walked out.

At Shi Ji’s command, the Jie Sect Disciples immediately got busy collecting exquisite mountain delicacies and purchasing various meats from divine and immortal beasts.

Two days later, atop Taiching Peak, a food stand was displayed, holding various slices of meat and Divine Materials, each ingredient radiating with immortal light and emitting an enticing fragrance.

A distinguished purple table stood nearby, with Taishang sitting in front of it.

Bai Jin stood to the side and whispered, "Master, you must save me! Otherwise, I’m doomed."

Taishang nodded with a smile and then said, "Here they come."

Bai Jin immediately stood upright, facing solemnly.

Yuanshi and Tongtian silently appeared in front of the table, both calling out, "Big brother!"

Taishang said with a smile, "Have a seat!"

Yuanshi and Tongtian moved to sit at the table, the atmosphere was still good, both thinking that since the other was willing to admit their mistake, there was no need to be unrelenting. After sitting down, they even smiled and nodded slightly at each other.

Yuanshi looked at the hot pot on the table, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "The ingredients this time look pretty good."

Bai Jin bent down respectfully and said, "Master, and two Masters, this is a family banquet, so I just prepared a simple hot pot. One family does not eat from separate pots, please try it."

Yuanshi and Tongtian exchanged glances, ’One family does not eat from separate pots,’ Bai Jin’s words had a hidden meaning! Was this specifically prepared as a step for the other to apologize? Both smiled and nodded simultaneously.

Taishang smiled and said, "Bai Jin, put the ingredients in!"

"Yes!" Bai Jin responded, and added the ingredients to the pot.

Taishang chuckled and said, "Last time we had hot pot was before we became Saints, that was also when Bai Jin with one remark had enlightened us on the Tao."

Yuanshi reflected and said, "Indeed! If not for Bai Jin, we wouldn’t know how much longer we would have wandered to achieve the Tao."

Tongtian said, "That was you, not us, actually I had already thought about the approach of education."

Yuanshi scoffed and said, "Who was it back then that wanted to create a Holy Array that would envelop the Primordial World?"

Tongtian immediately retorted, "And someone else was trying to refine a Holy Artifact!"

The two glanced at each other, simultaneously knocked towards the direction of Upper Pure Peak, and their mood instantly improved.

Bai Jin silently felt pity for his eldest senior brother, then hurriedly added more food to the pot, also worrying for himself, being a White Crane, he did not want to end up as a Red-crowned Crane.

As Yuanshi and Tongtian ate and bickered, the atmosphere became increasingly harmonious, as if they had returned to the times before becoming Saints.

After a satisfying meal, Tongtian put down his jade chopsticks, looked at Yuanshi and said, "Second brother, let’s start!"

Primordial carefully placed down the jade chopsticks, a smile on his face as he looked at Tongtian and said, "Good!"

Bai Jin felt a sudden jolt in his heart, his whole body’s hair standing on end, suddenly realizing that this place had become very unsafe, he quickly called out, "Master, there’s still one dish that hasn’t been served. I’ll go prepare it."

Tongtian, who was waiting for an apology from Primordial, where would he have the time to eat any meal? He said irritably, "No need to eat."

Bai Jin then hurriedly clutched his stomach, crying out in discomfort, "Master, my stomach suddenly hurts."

"You, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, have a stomachache?"

"Master, I might have eaten something bad, perhaps some spoiled meat from the Daluo Realm."

Tongtian glanced at him, the act was obviously too fake, thinking about how his elder brother would apologize to him later, it really wasn’t good for Bai Jin, this junior, to be watching, so he nodded and said, "Go back first! Get some rest."

Bai Jin quickly cried out in gratitude, "Thank you, Master." He immediately rose on a cloud and flew towards Upper Pure Peak, clearly fleeing in a panic.

Now only Taishang, Primordial, and Tongtian remained on Taiching Peak.

Primordial, smiling, said, "Third brother, is it alright now? Anything you want to say to your elder brother?"

Tongtian frowned and said, "Wasn’t it you who wanted to speak to me?"

Primordial’s smile receded as he spoke in confusion, "Wasn’t it you who wanted to apologize to me?"

Tongtian said annoyed, "And here I thought you wanted to apologize to me!"

The two looked at each other, then simultaneously shouted, "Bai Jin!"

Just as Bai Jin, who had just flown back to Upper Pure Peak, sneezed twice consecutively, tightened the Daoist robe around him, and hurried towards the back mountain, thinking, "Big brother, I’m coming to find you."

On Taiching Peak, Tongtian said, half amused and half angry, "That mischievous lad, Bai Jin, dared to deceive his master, just watch me pluck him bald when I return."

Primordial scoffed, "Mischievous as Bai Jin may be, he is much better than your demon disciples."

Tongtian immediately retorted, "Still a thousand times better than your arrogant disciples! How dare you say my disciples, a bunch clad in fur and horns, born from moist eggs. Aren’t worthy to stand with them?"

"Isn’t that the truth? Look at what Upper Pure Peak has become, if it weren’t for Bai Jin, Upper Pure Peak would’ve already been turned upside down."

"As good as Bai Jin is, he is still my disciple."

Primordial opened his mouth but suddenly had nothing to say; his point seemed valid.

Tongtian looked at Primordial with smug satisfaction, thinking, isn’t my disciple still outmatching yours?

Primordial said faintly, "You were just deceived by Bai Jin."

Tongtian’s face, previously smug, froze, so frustrating!

Taishang knocked on the table, discontentedly stating, "Enough, have you both had your fill of quarreling? Two esteemed Saints of Between Heaven and Earth, upset over a trivial matter, and even made a junior run about inbetween?!"

Taishang softened his tone and said, "Looking at your disciples, from Ran Deng to Yun Zhongzi under Primordial, and from Duo Bao to those registered disciples under Tongtian, the one who truly cares about you both is actually only Bai Jin.

Primordial, these days you’ve been displeased, have your disciples made any move?

Tongtian, these days you’ve displeased, have Duo Bao and the others done anything?"

Primordial and Tongtian both fell silent for a while, slowly shaking their heads, their minds unconsciously recalling Bai Jin’s actions during this period; first, he risked offending the Saints by tricking them to come to the feast, then he spent a great amount of time preparing food and a banquet, all to reconcile the two of them. Recollecting the scene of Bai Jin leaving with an apologetic smile, their hearts unconsciously warmed up, a surge of warmth flowing through their hearts.
