Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 996: Peach Festival and Treasure Competition
The host of the Peach Festival has always been the Queen Mother of the West, not Haotian. The previous Peach Festival may have been just a simple banquet, but now, the Peach Festival has become extremely important to the immortals who have ascended to heaven because of the List of Gods.

Why? Because peaches can prolong life.

Immortals drink the essence of the sun and moon, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, pursuing immortality. However, immortality and death are two different concepts, and neither refers to eternal life. Even if you chop off your head with an axe or throw it into a Bagua furnace for two days, you will still die if you haven't practiced some secret techniques.

The immortals are still relatively free, but the gods who absorb the incense of all living beings are not so free.

Incense comes from all living things, and its characteristic is that it is mixed and far less pure than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It seems that there are no bottlenecks when practicing, but in fact all kinds of hidden injuries and defects are inevitable, so spiritual objects are needed to make up for the damage and prolong life.

Immortals are like climbing mountains. Even if I can't get up, I can find a place to sit for a while. As long as I don't do anything stupid, I won't fall down.

Being a god is like swimming; you have to swim as hard as you can. If you take a break in the middle of the swim, the current may sweep you away to who knows where.

Because of the mixed incense, the lifespan of gods and immortals is far shorter than that of immortals, so they must eat peaches to prolong their lifespan.

The key to Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit is that "if you smell the fruit, you will live to be 360 ​​years old, and if you eat one, you will live to be 47,000 years old." The key lies in the word "live".

The peaches have a similar effect.

Haotian assesses the KPIs of the gods, and Queen Mother Yaochi is responsible for extending the lives of the gods. The harder they work, the longer they live. If you don't work hard, the result of failing the assessment will not be discharge from society, but real death.

Who wants to die if they can live? So naturally they have to curl up.

The Phoenix is ​​tired of eating the peaches. If it is a banquet organized by Haotian, she will not go. Your KPI has no impact on me at all. If you provoke me, I will go back to Wudang Mountain. But the Peach Banquet is hosted by the Queen Mother of the West. If you don’t give face to the monk, you should give face to the Buddha. We should at least give the Queen Mother some face.

The one who came to deliver the invitation was Dong Shuangcheng, the maid of Queen Mother of the West.

This name sounds a bit like a man, but she is actually a very beautiful female fairy. She is also called Yaochi Fairy. She holds a glass bottle in her hand. The bottle contains a piece of innate snow essence, which is the leftover of a certain phoenix.
Dong Shuangcheng and Gushe Immortal jointly control ice and snow. Whenever the sky is covered with dark clouds, Gushe Immortal will use golden chopsticks to hit Dong Shuangcheng's glass bottle, and snowflakes will fall from the earth.

Although Haotian and Queen Mother are husband and wife, their status is equal and there is no saying that one is subordinate to the other. Queen Mother also has 100,000 jade maidens under her command, and Dong Shuangcheng is the best among them. She is not only the god in charge of ice and snow, but now she also manages the Peach Garden.

The loss of peaches in the Peach Garden was too great, as Longji, the immortal guarding the garden, had committed too much embezzlement. The Queen Mother had no choice but to send her own trusted aides to manage the Peach Garden.

Although Dong Shuangquan was the Queen Mother's attendant fairy, she did not dare to be rude to Fenghuang and Longji, and very politely presented them with the invitation to the Peach Festival.

Fenghuang glanced at Longji, and both of them felt a little guilty. They had indeed eaten too many peaches, and even their successors would not be able to make up for it.

She coughed and said, "Please tell the Queen Mother that I will go to Yaochi with the princess when the time comes."

After sending off Dong Shuangcheng, the messenger, Fenghuang scratched his head and asked Long Ji, "This banquet seems to be of a high standard. Many immortals from the prehistoric world have been invited. If we go, should we prepare some gifts?"

Long Ji has known her for so many years, and she is no longer the ignorant little girl she used to be.

You only have one pair of parents, but your parents have more than just you as their child.

There is no need to give gifts to close relatives, but she is not a child and knows that her parents are not the same as ordinary parents. There are all kinds of calculations in the wealthy families of the world, not to mention the family of the supreme being in the Three Realms.

Giving something is definitely better than not giving it.

It would make her parents proud, and it could be considered filial piety. "Give something, but what should I give?" She had no good ideas for a moment.

The two of them privately discussed sending some sycamore fruits. After all, the Peach Banquet is all about eating and drinking, so sending a few fruits that you have never eaten will give the Queen Mother of the West face, and that will be enough.

However, after Dong Shuangquan, the female fairy attendant, Jiang Ziya, on behalf of Haotian, conveyed new news about the Peach Conference to the gods in heaven, completely disrupting their plans.

"Your Majesty is planning to hold another treasure competition at the Peach Festival. Princess and Marshal should make preparations early."

The Peach Festival is divided into large and small gatherings. Phoenix has participated in it more than once or twice, but adding a meeting to the big one is still quite new.

Haotian respects the Queen Mother very much and generally does not do things that take the place of the Queen Mother.

Jiang Ziya added, "This Peach Festival coincides with the Queen Mother's birthday. Your Majesty's action is truly sincere."

All right! Phoenix was a little helpless. What did "just in time" mean? Did they just wait for this day?
They invite you to eat peaches, it is the Queen Mother's birthday, and they also ask you to compete for treasures. The meaning is self-evident. They just want to take the opportunity to make some money, at least that's what Phoenix thinks.

She didn't hesitate and asked directly, "What gift does the Heavenly Official plan to give?"

Lao Jiang successfully resolved the Zulong "kidnapping" incident. Regardless of whether he won easily or not, he had made a contribution. Combined with his previous contributions, he was named "God of Fortune" by Haotian.

In fact, he himself had very little luck, but Haotian conferred the title on him anyway, and no one objected.

The old longevity star who had separated from the Antarctic Immortal was the "God of Longevity".

Bigan, the God of Literature, also serves as the God of Wealth.

With the addition of Jiang Ziya, the newly-minted "God of Fortune", the three gods of fortune, wealth and longevity are complete.

After the God of Longevity left the Immortal of the South Pole, his cultivation level plummeted and he could no longer live.

Although the God of Fortune seems to be in a high position with great power, he is actually just an accountant walking on thin ice. His office is right next to the Heavenly Prison, so he cannot make any mistakes, or he will go to jail if he makes any.

The God of Fortune has had an extremely rough life and was born with little fortune. The fact that he can become the God of Fortune can only be attributed to the fact that Haotian values ​​him.

Jiang Ziya smiled bitterly: "I am poor and have nothing, so I am going to give you a calligraphy as a gift."

Good fellow! Phoenix has really gained some experience. On that occasion, you only gave a calligraphy piece?

If it were in the human world, it would be fine. If someone took out a ancestral treasure and said it was written by Jiang Ziya, wouldn't it be more important than Qin Shihuang's calligraphy?
But now we are in the fairyland, how much are your words worth?

But Lao Jiang was indeed poor, and he had just been appointed as an official, so it was understandable that he was short of money.

After seeing Lao Jiang off, Fenghuang and Longji were a little worried. Lao Jiang said that he was poor, which was fine, because no one would believe them if they said they were poor.

The original plan of giving two fruits was shelved, so this time I have to give some solid stuff.
