Journey to the West: I have become an immortal, why did you just join the chat group?

Chapter 25 The Magical Uses of Incense
The clam girls are gorgeous, with colorful makeup and brocade clothes. Each of them holds a white jade plate in her hand, and on the jade plate is an incense burner the size of a coconut.

This incense burner is made entirely of gold.

The cover of the incense burner was inlaid with a sparkling spiritual gem. Bits of spiritual light shone out from the gem, covering the golden incense burner and wrapping it in the light to prevent the contents of the incense burner from leaking out.

"This is……?"

Except for Nezha, the other marshals and generals present stared at the golden censer on the tray, with vague guesses in their minds, and their breathing became unconsciously heavy.

The Dragon King of the West Sea stroked his beard and said with a smile, "These are the pure incense that Xiaolong has collected over the years. Today, we captured the Black Dragon Clan. Thanks to the efforts of all the marshals and generals, I will give these incense burners to you as a token of my gratitude."

When the Heavenly Marshals and the Mighty Gods heard that the golden censer was filled with incense, their eyes gradually became fiery.

There is no currency in heaven.

If we have to choose one hard currency from among many to use as currency, incense is undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

Incense is easy to preserve, highly consumable, and highly universal.

For the immortals who have lost their physical bodies and whose true spirits have been conferred, the pure incense that has eliminated the desires of believers is a necessity for cleansing their original spirits.

Without incense to cleanse the true spirit, the true spirit will be covered with dust over time, and the gods who have lost their physical bodies will fall into a state of confusion, unable to eliminate the desires of believers in the incense, and thus become the image of the believers' faith, gradually losing their self-awareness.

For the immortals who have not lost their physical bodies, pure incense can also cleanse their souls, ensure the purity of their souls, and enhance their comprehension of supernatural powers. In short, there are many benefits.

The marshals and generals were very excited and looked eagerly at Nezha the Third Prince who was sitting in the main seat.

Nezha said nothing, but picked up the wine cup and drank a glass of fine wine. Then he stood up and said, "It's a rare trip to the lower world. I am going to Guanjiangkou to visit an old acquaintance. After this business is done, you can return to heaven on your own."

"Follow the order!"

The marshals and generals were overjoyed and immediately understood that the Third Prince's move was tacit consent for them to accept the thank-you gift.

Nezha did not ride on the Wind Fire Wheel, but just used an ordinary cloud-flying technique to ascend from the crystal palace under the sea and turned to Guanjiangkou in the southern continent.

And after Nezha left.

The banquet atmosphere in the inner palace treasure pavilion immediately became lively.

The Dragon King Ao Run heaved a sigh of relief, as if a huge mountain had been lifted from his shoulders. He called over several teams of singing and dancing clam girls and mirage fairies, and ordered them to play music and dance in the treasure pavilion to create a lively atmosphere.

He also selected some delicate and clever female elves from the water tribe and asked them to pour wine, serve food, and massage shoulders and backs for the marshals and generals.

Although those marshals and generals were served by strong men and fairies in heaven, they were all transformed from yin spirits. How could they compare with the elves in the Dragon Palace who were delicate and graceful and spoke sweetly?
then……

The treasure pavilion was bustling with activity. The Dragon King and the marshals called each other friends, and the prime minister and the generals talked about their friendships. The guests and hosts were all delighted at the banquet. The Dragon King made friends with the marshals of heaven, and the marshals received gifts that pleased them.

After eating and drinking to my heart's content, I ate and took away some food, filling my stomach with oil.

The marshals then said goodbye to the Dragon King of the West Sea.

"Why don't you stay a few more days, Immortals?" Ao Run stood up and pleaded earnestly, "One day in the upper realm is one year in the lower realm. Staying a few more days will only take a moment in the upper realm."

"Not right, not right."

Marshal Hu of the Douying Camp shook his head and said, "We have come down to the mortal world to exorcise demons under the command of the Great Celestial Venerable. Now that our mission is complete, we should return to the camp to report on our work. How dare we linger any longer?"

The other Zhentian Marshals also expressed their agreement.

Ao Run hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Since that's the case, Xiaolong can't keep you all here any longer. However, my brother from the East Sea will celebrate his birthday in a few days. I originally wanted to invite you all to stay a few more days and attend the banquet together, but now it seems that won't be possible."

Upon hearing this, the marshals expressed regret: "It's a pity that we still have to go back to submit the imperial edict. We really can't get away."

An idea flashed through Ao Run's mind, his eyes moved slightly, and he suggested: "Why don't you immortals arrange for a few heavenly generals to stay and attend brother's birthday banquet, so as to establish a good relationship?" As the saying goes, 'a man who eats someone's food will be soft-hearted, and a man who takes someone's money will be short-handed'. The marshals had received many benefits from the Dragon King of the West Sea, so naturally they would not refuse his face.

Besides, it’s no big deal to send a few people to Donghai to attend the birthday party.

The marshals exchanged glances, whispered to each other, and then agreed: "How about each of the six battalions, Thunder, Fire, Wind, Rain, Fighting, and Sword, send a Heavenly General to protect the law and go to the East China Sea for the banquet?"

Ao Run showed joy on his face, but did not respond yet.

Marshal Song of the Sword Battalion said, "The Sword Battalion has lost a lot of Heavenly Soldiers and urgently needs to go back to rest and recuperate. It is inconvenient to send a Heavenly General to protect the law. We can only send one Heavenly Soldiers in golden armor to accompany them!"

"Golden armored heavenly soldiers?" Ao Run was stunned and secretly angry in his heart. As the water gods appointed by the Heavenly Court, their Four Seas Dragon Clan was even higher than the Marshal Zhentian in terms of the rank of the immortals.

It's just that the dragon clan has been on the edge of the heaven for many years and has difficulty grasping the information of the three realms, so they are eager to make friends with the immortals in the heaven.

Who would have thought…

How dare Marshal Zhentian of the Sword Camp now humiliate the Dragon Clan like this?
Outrageous!

Ao Run was furious and could hardly control his emotions. The joy on his face gradually became stiff.

"Brother Ao Run, don't think I'm deceiving you."

Song Yi said with a smile: "This heavenly soldier of my Sword Camp is quite capable. It was thanks to his ability that we were able to capture the Ink Dragon Clan today!"

Ao Run's emotions froze for a moment, and he asked in surprise, "Really?"

"It's true, it's true!" There were many upright marshals among them, and they spoke at once and narrated the cause and effect one by one.

"The Third Prince also has a favorable view of this boy."

Song Yi's sword eyes were filled with laughter, and he lowered his voice and said, "Don't say that I don't take care of my brothers. With the ability of this heavenly soldier, sooner or later he will serve as a minister in the same palace with you and me. If you make friends with him in advance, there will be rewards in the future!"

Ao Run thought carefully and nodded, "I will listen to the Immortal."

"I will not let the Dragon King down." Song Yi smiled slightly and left the inner hall with the marshals.

The outer hall of the Dragon Palace.

The tables of delicacies that were originally placed in the hall had long been removed, leaving only the women holding pearl clams standing around the hall, the pearls in their hands sparkling brightly, illuminating every corner of the hall.

"Good! Good sword skills!"

"mighty!"

"This fighting method is really good!"

The heavenly soldiers were sitting scattered in formation in the hall, watching a heavenly soldier performing martial arts in the open space in the middle. The heavenly soldier was holding a two-meter-long sword, slashing horizontally and vertically with great force, looking very fierce.

There was a round of applause.

The marshals were slightly tipsy and shouted hello a few times along with the heavenly soldiers before ordering everyone to form up.

Soon.

Each camp selected the guardian heavenly generals to stay.

Song Yi called Lu Jun out of the group and asked with a smile, "The birthday banquet of the Dragon King of the East Sea is in a few days. The Dragon King of the West Sea, Ao Run, has invited us to attend, but we still have a decree to hand over. We need to return to Heaven first. The trip will delay us."

"I wonder if you are free to attend the banquet on behalf of this Marshal?"
