After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Fang Jian saw that the faces of the star gods were slightly drunk. He knew that it was time to talk about things. If he waited any longer, they would all be drunk and there would be no way to talk.
Fang Jian picked up his wine glass and stood up, shouting to the excited Star Lords, "Fellow Daoists, all of you look at me, look here, I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, the Star Lords immediately turned their gazes towards Fang Jian. Si Lu Star Lord Han Chen shouted, "True Lord Hong Qing, what do you mean? We agreed not to talk about the Hua Guang Treasure Gun."
Fang Jian said, "Of course it's not about the Huaguang Treasure Gun, but something else."
"What else is there?" asked Purple Qi Star Official Peng Jiuyuan.
Fang Jian said, "Do you fellow Taoists still remember the ban on Buddhist disciples back then?"
"Oh?" Siming Xingjun asked, "Are you referring to the incident where Zhoutian Xingjun didn't bless Buddhist disciples for a thousand years?"
"Yes." Fang Jian raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "I have an unwelcome request. I hope that fellow Taoists can lift this ban."
Hearing this, all the star gods present fell silent, and the originally bustling attic immediately became silent.
After a while, Shangsheng Xingjun asked, "Hongqing Zhenjun, when did you get involved with Buddhism again?"
Fang Jian smiled and said, "How can this be called hooking up? It's just mutual benefit."
"No, this is called using Buddhism to control the Tao." Taiyin Star Lord said.
The Star Lords suddenly understood and looked at Fang Jian meaningfully, "I understand, I understand."
Fang Jian said, "Since all of you fellow Taoists understand, then you can at least help me with this, right?"
The Star Gods were about to speak when Taiyin Star God suddenly stood up, holding a pot of immortal wine and placed it on the table in front of Fang Jian. He said, "Drink this pot of wine. I will definitely help you. Otherwise, forget it."
Hearing Taiyin Xingjun's words, the other Xingjun's eyes lit up and they immediately echoed loudly, "Yes, if you drink that pot of wine, we will help you, otherwise, forget it."
"Hah! Hah! Hah!" the star gods shouted in unison.
When Fang Jian heard this, he looked at the green jade gourd in front of him with some embarrassment. Then he said to the Star Lords, "Please wait a moment, fellow Taoists. I'll be back soon."
But as soon as Fang Jian turned around, he was grabbed by Taiyin Star Lord. When Fang Jian turned around, he smelled a strange fragrance, which was a mixture of body fragrance and the fragrance of fairy wine.
"Want to run away?" Taiyin Xingjun grabbed Fang Jian's arm tightly and said, "If you can't do it, just tell me. I won't allow you to desert!"
Fang Jian smiled and said to Taiyin Xingjun, "Taiyin Xingjun, you misunderstood. I need to pay the bill first. Otherwise, who will pay after this pot of wine is finished?"
"Oh." Upon hearing this, Taiyin Xingjun immediately waved to Yu Qin and the others waiting outside, saying, "Come in."
Yu Qin and the others immediately walked over quickly, and then Taiyin Xingjun said, "Master Yu, please calculate how many robbery jades there are in total. Zhenjun Hongqing needs to settle the bill first."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qin immediately took the account book from the steward and said to Fang Jian, "Reporting to True Lord Hongqing, the total is 832,500 Tribulation Jades."
Without saying anything, Fang Jian took out 850,000 Jieyu jades and handed them to Yu Qin, saying, "The extra Jieyu jades can be exchanged for wine."
"Yes." Yu Qin quickly accepted the jade, settled the bill, and turned to leave.
After Yu Qin and the others left, Fang Jian, under the watchful eye of Zhou Tian Xingjun, resolutely picked up the green jade gourd, opened the jade stopper and began to gulp down the wine.
The Star Lords stared in amazement at Fang Jian who was guzzling the immortal wine. Then they slowly raised their hands and gave him a thumbs-up, saying, "True Lord Hongqing, you are a true man."
When Fang Jian finished the entire pot of immortal wine and the jade gourd slammed onto the table with a thud, Fang Jian burped and looked at Taiyin Xingjun and the other Xingjuns and said, "I've finished drinking it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Jian fell straight down. Taiyin Xingjun, who was standing beside him, smiled slightly. As if he had expected it, he stretched out his right hand and hugged Fang Jian. Then he pointed at the drunk Fang Jian with his left hand and said with a smile: "You can't drink much, but you are sincere. I can help you with this favor."
"help!"
The Star Lords raised their glasses and said in unison, "Fellow Daoists, drink to your heart's content!"
Taiyin Star Lord drank a cup with the other Star Lords and then put down his cup. He then looked helplessly at Fang Jian, who had died drunk in his arms, and said with a smile: "It was clearly him who asked us to do the job, but now he's taking advantage of me."
As he spoke, Taiyin Xingjun turned to Taiyang Xingjun and said, "Use your imperial carriage to send him back."
The Sun Star Lord smiled and said, "Of course, I have no problem with that. I just didn't expect that the host would leave before the banquet is over."
Afterwards, the Moon God called over the heavenly soldiers, who helped Fang Jian onto the Sun God's palanquin, and then he left Tianhefang and sent him straight back to the Taishi Immortal Capital in Heaven.
