Chapter 287 Five-Colored Glow Wine (3)
Qingpingzi waved his whisk and used his two tails to pull Ji Rong out of the clouds.
Then, Qingpingzi smiled and said, "Junior sister, how is my Radiant Glow Wine? Did it give you a wonderful dream and fulfill your wishes?"
"A beautiful dream! A wish fulfilled?" Ji Rong plopped down on the ground, drooping her wings, and cried out, "This is clearly a nightmare!"
Senior brother, I actually dreamed about Master! I've never actually met her, yet I dreamed about her!
She said I was a bad disciple she took in when she was drunk, and she didn't want to acknowledge me!
He even pulled out a pill furnace, saying he was going to turn me into a flesh pill, which almost scared me to death.
Luckily, I cleverly showed her three knives, and only then did she acknowledge me.
As she spoke, Ji Rong excitedly called out to Qing Pingzi, "Senior brother, Master said I'm too ordinary and told me to eat more spiritual delicacies so that she can ride out."
Now that Master is gone, and you've become the Palace Master, shouldn't you feed me more and give me better food in her place?
Upon hearing this, Qingpingzi took his whisk and gently tapped Ji Rong on the head. He laughed and said, "Junior sister, you actually believe in dreams you had while drunk?"
Your master has been gone for countless years. This dream is merely a manifestation of your own mind, granting your wish.
Alright, Kiyohime, come sit to my left. Today, you will serve everyone the Five-Colored Glow Wine.
Ji Rong followed Qing Pingzi down the Cloud Cliff. She thought to herself that the Cloud Cliff was under the control of her senior brother Qing Pingzi. If it weren't for her senior brother's intention, how would she have had the opportunity to sleep while hugging Ling Xiaozi's statue?
Ji Rong thought about it more and more and it made more sense. With a thought in mind, she stretched out her wing claws and grabbed one of the tails behind Qing Pingzi, who was walking in front. She said, "Senior brother, you deliberately placed me in front of Master's statue, didn't you?"
"Yes!" Qingpingzi turned to look at his junior sister, who was like a disciple to him, and said, "But I reminded you that the Floating Dream Qi has not dissipated and you should not drink too much. Didn't you listen, junior sister?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong cried out in anguish, “Senior brother, what’s the point of hugging Master? She’s long gone, and what she said in a dream doesn’t count.”
I still have many wishes.
Why don't you put me in the source of the stream, or in a mountain of treasure? That would be my dream.
"Master was terrified; it was no longer a sweet dream."
Looking at Ji Rong, whose hair stood on end when Ling Xiaozi was mentioned, Qingpingzi said with a nostalgic expression, "Junior sister, even though it was in a dream, she still recognized you, didn't she?"
Master has a strange habit of scaring others, but she would never actually use her disciples to refine pills. Otherwise, Qing Hezi, Qing Baizi, and the others would have been gone long ago.
"Let's go, Kiyohime. Today we are elders; we must behave with decorum."
“I know how to do that!” Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately spread her wings, raised her head, and strode forward, thinking that she looked extremely majestic in this way.
On the open ground below the cloud cliff, rows of identical spirit bamboo tables were arranged in a circle, and in the middle of those tables was an unusually large stone platform, with array bases buried on all four sides, just like a round platform at a grand banquet in the Nine Provinces.
On each table was a basket of spiritual herbs and fruits, a large dish of spiritual pills, a jade pot, and several small cups.
Not far away, the octagonal palace gates opened wide again, and Lingxiaozi's enormous jade statue was once again placed in the main position, gazing ahead at the place where the cultivators were drinking and making merry.
Qingpingzi and Ji Rong casually picked up a table and sat down.
The cultivators who arrived early saw that Qingpingzi and Ji Rong were already seated, so they also chose their seats. He Sui even took the opportunity to sit next to Ji Rong.
Other cultivators also climbed up one after another. Ji Rong saw that not only had the old Taoist Gu Lin, who had been guarding her Dao Palace for many years, come, but also the cultivators from her Blood Workshop. They squeezed around the six large tables in the outermost room, looking around with great curiosity.
Ji Rong had never seen such a casual seating arrangement before. She couldn't help but turn her head and ask Qing Pingzi, "Senior brother, even though we're not hosting a banquet, shouldn't we still pay attention to the hierarchy of seating arrangements?"
Qingpingzi laughed and said, "Junior sister, you are mistaken. Since we are not holding a banquet, why bother with seating arrangements?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately felt that it made sense. She pointed to the stone platform in the middle and whispered, "Senior brother, if there is no banquet, why set up a platform?"
This slaughterhouse is set up just like the one at the Nine Provinces Banquet. All the old butchers from my Blood Pill Workshop are here. Are we going to slaughter a few of our drunken apprentices and their descendants later to make dishes and snacks?"
Although Ji Rong spoke softly, He Sui heard it very clearly. She thought to herself that it was fortunate that she was the one who organized the party, otherwise, her little heart would have been scared out of its wits by this big-mouthed senior uncle.
Even so, she still kept her heart pounding and checked twice more, until she was sure that since she entered the palace, no one in the Jade Void Palace had ever eaten her own cultivators at banquets or gatherings, before she could finally relax.
Qingpingzi found Ji Rong's highly suggestive words amusing. He wagged his five tails and looked at Ji Rong with an inscrutable expression, saying, "Junior sister, you're wrong again. You'll find out what that place is for later."
When the golden sun reached the top of the cloud cliff, the cultivators of Jade Void Palace all came up. They sat in twos and threes around a table, making it quite lively.
Qingpingzi said, "Qingjizi told the old Taoist that you all used to be stationed in the palace and could not go out to attend banquets, which was hard work."
Therefore, we went out and found some rare delicacies to make wine, as a small token of our appreciation.
I have summoned you all here today to share the elixir with you. Please be as comfortable as you have always been.
If there aren't enough cups, ask the owner of the Lidan room, Hesui Na.
Then, Kiyohira poured out a cup of golden rosy wine. He raised the cup and said, "There is plenty of this five-colored rosy wine today. When you finish it, bring the pot, and Kiyohime will serve it to you all again on my behalf."
Upon hearing this, the cultivators immediately cheered and began to drink from their cups, creating a rare scene of harmony and joy.
At this moment, Qingpingzi took out five large gourds of different colors from the tail end, placed them at Ji Rong's feet, and said with a smile, "Junior sister, if they ask you for them later, just pour them from here."
Ji Rong nodded, picked up the cup again, and poured herself a cup of wine with the spiritual fruit.
Five colors emerged from the spout of the pot, and Ji Rong, looking at the five colors of the wine reflected in the cup, stammered, "Senior brother, how did you mix all the wine together?"
Qingpingzi laughed and said, "I thought you liked to drink like this, so I poured you a pot of it mixed together."
"Junior sister, you can drink without worry. The lingering illusions outside have dissipated, leaving only a few traces of the past's glow at the bottom. You won't get drunk if you drink only a little."
That's what she said, but Ji Rong had no intention of drinking like that anymore. She rolled her eyes and said, "Senior brother, if you get drunk from this wine, you'll definitely have dreams, right? In that case, I'll save it for later."
Qingpingzi nodded with a smile. He stretched out his tail to cover Ji Rong's area, and Ji Rong immediately took out a jade bottle and poured out the pot of Xia Guang wine, along with the unfinished wine in the cup, and put it into his storage ring.
Soon, the gorilla Xiu Keben came forward with a large pot and shouted, "Uncle-Master Qing Jizi, please grant me a pot of Purple Glow Wine."
Ji Rong accepted the pot, then used her spiritual power to take out a heavy purple gourd from beside her feet and poured a pot for Ke Ben. Ke Ben happily accepted it, then bowed and took his leave.
