Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 65 Rushing to Penglai Fairy Mountain

65: Chapter 65: Rushing to Penglai Fairy Mountain

65 -65: Rushing to Penglai Fairy Mountain

While Jiang Chen didn’t know the exact reasons, what he had learned was enough to let him know that wandering cultivators from the Eastern Sea were not very welcoming to people from the Jiang Family.

Thus, of course, Jiang Chen would not use his real name while wandering around the Eastern Sea.

After all, wasn’t that just asking for trouble?

That wandering cultivators of the Eastern Sea did not welcome people from the Jiang Family was a fact almost everyone with some background knowledge knew.

Why did the East Sea Dragon King give Jiang Chen a token?

It meant that he should stay in the sea and avoid hopping around on the sea’s surface, so as not to be discovered by the people of the Chan Teaching, which would only cause trouble.

….

…….

“So it turns out that fellow Daoist’s name is Jiang Chen, Yunyang greets you, Daoist Jiang Chen.” After learning of Jiang Chen’s background, Yunyang moved forward to greet him.

“Daoist Yunyang is too courteous.” Seeing this, Jiang Chen quickly greeted back, and at the same time, he didn’t forget to address the two people next to Yunyang, “Jiang Chen also greets the two fellow Daoists.

I am not yet familiar with your names?”

At this point, Yunyang quickly stepped forward to introduce, “This is Immortal Qingmo, and this is Moyuan Immortal, both are fellow Daoists of mine.”

After introducing the two to Jiang Chen, Yunyang quickly introduced Jiang Chen to the two, “This is Daoist Jiang Chen, who as I mentioned before, the friend who banished demons in the Aolai nation.”

In this way, the four got to know each other.

Then, Jiang Chen asked, “Where are the three Daoists planning to go?”

Yunyang replied with a smile, “The Immortal Jujubes on Penglai Mountain have ripened, we plan to go and pick a few to taste.”

Immortal Jujubes?

At this, Jiang Chen was taken aback.

What were those?

Only after a while, did he recall that it was a special product of Penglai Immortal Mountain and also a treasure used by Nanji Xianweng to win people’s hearts.

On Penglai Mountain, there was a jujube forest that matured once every hundred years.

Every time this happened, Nanji Xianweng would invite the scattered immortals from all directions to a banquet to share the jujubes.

It was the same as the Queen Mother’s Pan Peach: useless for her but could win people’s hearts.

However, the value of Nanji Xianweng’s Immortal Jujubes could not be compared to the Queen Mother’s Pan Peach.

Pan Peach was a genuine Innate Spiritual Fruit.

But it was precisely for this reason that Nanji Xianweng was willing to give out his Immortal Jujubes.

If the jujube were an innate spiritual fruit, wouldn’t he reserve it for himself to eat?

Who would be willing to share it with the scattered immortals?

Moreover, the Queen Mother’s Pan Peach Banquet invited famous gods from the Three Realms, while Nanji Xianweng’s Immortal Jujube Banquet invited famous scattered immortals from the Eastern Sea.

This disparity in status is as wide as the sea.

Not even scattering immortals were worth a blood investment, offering them Innate Spiritual Fruit.

…

Seeing Jiang Chen lost in thought, Yunyang curiously asked, “What, fellow Daoist didn’t come for this?”

Of course not, he didn’t even know about this event, how could he have come for it?

But Jiang Chen also could not say that he had lost his way, that would be too embarrassing.

Therefore, Jiang Chen said, “I was chasing a dragon and happened to meet fellow Daoists nearby.

I didn’t know that the Immortal Jujubes on Penglai Mountain had ripened.”

At this, Yunyang couldn’t help but laugh, “Really, fellow Daoist arrived at the perfect timing, just in time to accompany us.”

Jiang Chen blinked, asking, “Could I also go?

Is there no restriction to this Immortal Jujube Banquet?”

To be honest, Jiang Chen was a bit covetous of the Immortal Jujubes.

According to the records of the Jiang Family, the Immortal Jujubes have the miraculous effect of increasing one’s lifespan.

He wondered if it would be useful to him.

“Of course you can, I am acquainted with Xianweng and should have the privilege to bring a friend along.” Yunyang grabbed Jiang Chen’s sleeve and hurriedly led him forward.

No matter how you consider it, Yunyang was a Golden Immortal and is considered one of the top-tier among the scattered immortals of the Eastern Sea.

If he didn’t even have the qualification to bring a friend to the Immortal Jujube Banquet, that would certainly be inconceivable.

“In that case, thank you fellow Daoist.” Jiang Chen, pulled by Yunyang, agreed half-heartedly.

He had owed him a favor today, so he could return him a Pan Peach in the future.

The four of them rode on the clouds, chatting and heading towards Penglai Immortal Mountain.

It was through their interactions did Jiang Chen realize that the life of the wandering cultivators of the Eastern Sea was not as good as he thought.

Yes, the Eastern Sea had abundant resources, but the majority of it was located in the sea, controlled by the Dragon Clan.

There was no shortage of resources on the sea’s surface either, but everything was claimed.

All of the well-known fairy islands on the Eastern Sea have been occupied by the disciples of the Jiejiao Sect since the Ancient Times.

The disciples of Jiejiao Sect have only been recorded in the Investiture of the Gods and have not died.

As a result, no one dares to seize their cave dwellings even if they are not in the Eastern Sea.

As for the disciples of Chan Teaching, not to mention.

It would not only be shameful for the disciples of Chan Teaching if they were to murder someone and then seize that person’s dwelling.

With the well-known fairy islands claimed, the choices for the scattered immortals of the Eastern Sea were greatly diminished.

Coupled with the rampant tyranny of the Demon Clan, their lives became much more difficult.

The life that Jiang Chen imagined for the scattered immortals of the Eastern Sea, akin to leisurely clouds and wild cranes, obviously was impossible.

Their life, while not a daily struggle for survival, was far from peaceful.

So miserable.

Far more miserable than the Nanbuzhan Continent.

This is also why Nanji Xianweng’s Immortal Jujube Banquet could attract so many people.

Everyone already led lives that were full of hardship, and suddenly someone was sharing free Immortal Fruit.

Obviously, everyone flocked over.

Even the weakest of Immortal Fruit could enhance a hundred years of an Immortal Person’s cultivation.

The temptation of a century’s worth of cultivation from a single fruit is hard to refuse for people living a simple and poor life like the wandering cultivators of the Eastern Sea.

Even if it was risky, they would be willing to try it, let alone if there was no risk at all.

…

Contrasting the treatment of the wandering cultivators of the Eastern Sea, Jiang Chen found that his own life in the Jiang Family was like living in paradise.

Young Jiang Chen, though unable to cultivate, was not neglected by the Jiang Family when it came to spiritual fruits.

The Jiang Family had no shortage of Immortal Fruits as well.

The reason why Jiang Chen couldn’t have them before was because his power was too weak.

Now, if he were to return to the Jiang Family, he would not only receive Immortal Fruits, but they would even give him Innate Spiritual Fruits.

The Jiang Family had no shortage of Innate Spiritual Fruits.

One of the top ten Innate Spiritual Roots, the Innate Fusang Tree, was in the hands of the Jiang Family.

The Innate Huosang Fruit it bore was no less precious than the Innate Pan Peach.

That was the foundation of the long-lasting prosperity of the Jiang Family.

…

Seeing Yunyang and the others struggling to get a mere Immortal Fruit, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel a sense of superiority.

Getting reincarnated, was such a technically-demanding task!

After several days and nights, the four finally saw the outline of Penglai Immortal Mountain.

It was then that Jiang Chen suddenly used his Divine Ability, quietly modifying his own bloodline.

He was going to impersonate a member of the Ji Family!
