"Little Fatty, Little Fatty..."
At the foot of the mountain, Little Fatty and Black Rabbit were happily collecting gifts one by one when a golden mouse ran to Little Fatty's feet, hopping and chattering.
Little Fatty seemed oblivious, still immersed in the excitement of receiving his gift.
"Little Fatty, Little Fatty..."
The golden mouse hopped a few more times and stepped on Little Fatty's instep.
Little Fatty looked down, poked at the little mouse with his finger, and said, "Was that you calling me?"
“It’s me, I’m Siwu.” The little golden mouse nodded.
"Siwu! You're Siwu!" Little Fatty exclaimed in surprise, his big eyes widening. "Siwu, how did you turn into a little mouse?"
"Little Fatty, stop asking. Let me ask you if Yu'er is on the mountain?"
"Who is Yu'er?"
"It's a gold ingot."
"Oh, I'm here."
Little Fatty nodded.
Xiao Xuan continued, "Did Yuanbao go back to the mountain to complain?"
"We've already told you, and we even said we'd go to the capital together to beat you up after Yi Cheng wakes up."
"...Is Junior Sister still not awake?"
"No, Yi Cheng is probably asleep; she hasn't woken up yet."
The little fat boy frowned, his sparse eyebrows furrowing, and a hint of sadness showing on his rosy face.
"Okay, that's all."
The little golden mouse nodded and turned to leave.
Little Fatty squatted down, grabbed the little mouse, and stuffed it into his bellyband.
"Squeak, squeak."
The little mouse struggled to flip itself out of its bellyband.
With a soft slap, he was knocked unconscious by Little Fatty's hand. Then, clutching the little mouse, he scurried off up the mountain, excitedly shouting, "Come quick! I caught Siwu!"
Everyone gathered on the hilltop, looking at the little mouse lying unconscious on the ground. They observed it for a long time but still couldn't figure out that it was a Siwu.
Outside the Great Wilderness, Xiao Xuan withdrew his divine sense, a smirk playing on his lips, "This little chubby girl..."
......
"Haha, Senior Brother, I'm here!"
A short while later, Xiao Xuan arrived with Yao Yue, laughing heartily.
"Junior brother congratulates senior brother on successfully establishing your foundation! Senior brother is truly awe-inspiring!"
"Moonlight congratulates Senior Brother on advancing to the next level!"
Xiao Xuan and Yao Yue also gave many gifts. Knowing that Changsheng had no shortage of cultivation resources on the mountain, they specially found several magical treasures that could assist in cultivation, as well as spiritual objects containing the five elements. Although they had little effect on a senior brother with such talent and aptitude, they were still of some benefit.
"Haha, Siwu and his junior brother and sister-in-law are here! Please have a seat."
Changsheng, beaming with joy, invited the two into the house to reminisce.
"Mother."
Yuanbao called out and walked up to Yaoyue to pay his respects.
Yaoyue looked over with a smile, but after only a short time apart, she saw that her son had become a plump and healthy man again. Yaoyue's smile faltered slightly.
This kid's rebound potential is just... too big!
"Yu'er, come here quickly and let your mother take a look."
Yaoyue lovingly pulled Xiao Yu in front of her, poked his big, protruding belly, and sighed almost imperceptibly, her expression a mixture of joy and sorrow.
"Xiaoyue, poke my tummy too, it's cute."
Seeing this, the chubby boy squeezed over and stood in front of Xiao Yu, sticking out his little belly.
Upon seeing this, Yaoyue immediately burst out laughing, "Little Fatty, you're so cute!"
Looking at the chubby little boy, who was as round and cute as a porcelain doll, Yaoyue couldn't help but want to go up and pinch his cheeks. However, when she thought about how this little guy was of a higher seniority than her husband on the mountain, she restrained herself from the impulse.
He simply held her steadily in his arms, took out a storage ring he had prepared beforehand, which contained toys and snacks to soothe the child.
Upon seeing this, Little Fatty immediately took a liking to Si Wu's wife.
In her eyes, apart from Sister Wen and her sister, Siwu's wife was the gentlest to her. Back in the capital, whenever Xiaopang needed her help, she would always gently and kindly agree to help him.
"Wen Qing greets Master and Senior Brother."
The warmth finally arrived late in the evening, just before the banquet was about to begin.
She had been delayed by some matters and had traveled a long way, so she looked a little tired. However, once she landed on the hilltop, she became more composed, her eyes sparkling like stars, and she gracefully bowed to Qin Shou and Chang Sheng.
Her voice was gentle and soft, with a touch of the playful charm of a young woman from the past.
"Junior Sister congratulates Senior Brother Changsheng on his successful Foundation Establishment, and wishes him the opportunity to witness the grandeur of the Great Dao in the future."
"Haha, thank you very much, junior sister."
With the arrival of warmth, the hilltop became even more lively.
Qin Shou's gentle gaze swept over the laughter and chatter in the room, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his eyes. All his disciples were here, which was good.
"We congratulate Lord Changsheng on successfully establishing his foundation!"
"May the Great Lord of Longevity achieve great success and live up to the promise of immortality!"
As night falls, the mountaintops are brightly lit, and red lanterns hang from the peach tree branches on both sides of the winding mountain steps, stretching all the way to the foot of the mountain.
As a burst of gongs and drums sounded, a chorus of congratulations erupted from the foot of the mountain, creating a powerful and inspiring atmosphere.
"Haha, thank you everyone, you're all so kind."
Changsheng was dressed in a brand-new bright red outfit, with a large red flower specially chosen by Qin Shou hanging in front of him. His slightly aged face looked rosy in the lamplight.
Qin Shou was also very happy to see this.
"Reward!"
With a wave of his hand, a colorful river of cinnabar appeared out of thin air, and countless pills fell in front of the great demon who had come to attend the banquet today.
"Roar~ Roar~ Roar~~~"
The demons roared excitedly.
To Qin beasts, these were merely low-grade pills, easily produced in a single batch, yielding hundreds or even thousands. However, to these Foundation Establishment, Qi Refining, and even Golden Core demon beasts who had just awakened their intelligence, they were priceless treasures.
The profession of alchemist is extremely precious and rare in the world of cultivation.
While demonic beasts have long lifespans, their cultivation speed is extremely slow, unlike that of humans. Therefore, any useful pill is a treasure that saves them countless hours.
"Thank you so much, Immortal, for bestowing upon me this miraculous elixir!"
Thousands of demonic beasts prostrated themselves in worship.
They had all been beaten up by that chubby girl in the past and had a lot of complaints. They never expected to suffer such a huge consequence today.
"???"
The holy Buddha disciple, who was sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop meditating on the Immortal Sutra, was slightly shocked by the scene on the mountaintop.
"Do mortal cultivators really make such a grand spectacle of advancing to the Foundation Establishment realm?"
The holy Buddha murmured something, but no one answered.
"Haha, everyone, please be seated. I hereby declare the banquet open!"
In the courtyard on the mountaintop, the banquet was spread out for dozens of meters. Qin Shou took the seat at the head of the table. To his left were his disciples and spirit pets, and to his right were guests such as Turtle Immortal and Holy Buddha. Further down were the thirteen demons of Sesame Sauce Mountain, the four brown bears, and a new guest, the leopard-patterned aunt who had raised two generations of Si Wu with her leopard milk.
At this moment, the Golden Core Realm female leopard was quite reserved. Originally, she dared not climb the mountain, but that day two chubby little black and white creatures came and insisted on giving her a vat of milk as a gift, and also invited her to attend the banquet.
So she arrived with trepidation, and only breathed a sigh of relief after not seeing Yi Cheng.
I was truly terrified by that chubby little girl who liked to forcefully squeeze her own breast milk.
"I never imagined I would receive such glory this time."
The female leopard, at the Golden Core stage, looked down at the few round pills in her hand, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
Perhaps out of pity for her past contribution of beast milk, the immortal bestowed upon her these pills, which were of a very high grade, the kind that even a Nascent Soul Realm demon king would find difficult to obtain.
"Haha, great!"
Zhu Ha recited the Three Character Classic backwards, and Chang Sheng stood up and clapped.
Changsheng usually has a very low alcohol tolerance, getting drunk after just two or three cups. But today, for some reason, he drank more and more, and in his excitement, he even led the four bear spirits in a muscle-building exercise.
This scene really impressed the two outsiders on the mountain.
The Holy Buddha is alright; this monk's adaptability is very... strong.
Nanning Xianhuang, on the other hand, felt somewhat... lost.
This is truly the first time I've ever seen an art style like this in my life.
It's one thing for a human to be showing off his muscles with a few brown bear spirits, but the real issue is that someone of such high cultivation as this senior is actually able to sit at the same table and drink with these little monsters, showing no airs whatsoever, and instead appearing quite pleased with themselves.
What surprised her even more was that these little monsters seemed to take it all in stride, showing no obvious fear or restraint in their eyes.
That little toad spirit even dared to jump on the table and recite some lousy "Three Character Classic" backwards. It was boring and tedious, but those little monsters listened with great interest.
Looking around, only the little black fat rabbit spirit was...interesting; she genuinely laughed when she thought about breaking a boulder on her chest.
Nanning Xianhuang never imagined that one day she would show such a smile, especially under these circumstances.
This mountain is... quite strange.
But... it's interesting.
"Gentlemen, my disciple has achieved Foundation Establishment today. Shouldn't you two distinguished guests present some gifts?"
