Chapter 380: New Year Is Coming. Celebration.

After walking out from the four-part architecture, they did not choose to fly. They walked instead.

The Immortals did not treat time the same way. They flew from place to place and never stopped to admire the view. When would they feel the change in the world?

After all the flying around, Li Nianfan realized the surroundings had become greener.

Although they were not jade green, some green sprouts were coming out. The originally bald tree branches started to have some greens.

“How long did it take? It’s Spring already?” Li Nianfan was perplexed. His ears were ringing with the rustling of the leaves on the ground. He was walking in snow not long ago, but in the blink of an eye, it was already Spring?

Right, he went on the trip and three months had passed…

“As the saying goes, ‘winter’s here, how far can spring be?’” Li Nianfan sighed as he admired the view around him. Although it was not yet spring, there was already the fragrance of soil blended with flowers and plants. Since it was early in the morning, there was dew on the flowers, moistening the air while making one feeling refreshed.

The thought of spring made one feel refreshed. This was the right season for vacation.

Soon, the Fallen Town was in front of them. Upon entering the town, it was livelier than usual. Along the streets, there were more stalls than usual with smoke and heat in the air.

Li Nianfan went straight to the breakfast stall. Only then did he realize that behind the stall, two shops were undergoing renovations and changing in shape.

Seeing that the owner was pleased, LI Nianfan smiled, “Owner, you’re upgrading your store?”

“Yo, Mr. Li!” When the owner saw them, he smiled. He quickly prepared a table for them and greeted, “All thanks to you! You haven’t been here lately, been busy? Here, have a seat!”

‘I went to the Underworld and admired the eighteen levels of Hell and the Door of Reincarnation.’

Of course, Li Nianfan kept this to himself. He would have scared off the owner if he said it out loud.

Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Went on a trip.”

“Another trip?” The owner asked with admiration. He said genuinely, “I’m so jealous of Mr. Li, living so freely and not restrained by anything.”

The world was big, so the owner wanted to explore as well.

Li Nianfan smiled and said, “What, you want to go out as well? Let me tell you, the outside world’s interesting. You walk a little bit and demons are jumping out to scare you!”

The owner shrunk his head in fear. He shook his head bitterly and said, “Ha-ha, I don’t have what it takes to be out. I knew Mr. Li wasn’t any ordinary man.

“Here, Mr. Li, your buns and Tofu Pudding.”

Li Nianfan looked at the buns and smiled. “Owner, let me tell you a new way of making buns.”

The owner’s eyes sparkled. He said with excitement, “Please, teach me.”

The reason his stall was doing great was all due to Li Nianfan’s teaching. The information provided by Li Nianfan was never ordinary.

Li Nianfan smiled, “At the Clear Moon Lake, there’s a species that has a shell and eight legs. It’s known as the Hairy Crab. You only have to steam it and remove its shell. You can then use its meat to make buns. The taste is fantastic.”

He told this to the owner so he could make it the next time he came. After all, he did not want to make his own breakfast every day.

The owner listened carefully. He asked, “Does the thing have large pincers?”

Li Nianfan nodded. “Indeed, it does.”

The owner did not doubt him at all. He said sincerely, “Thank you for your pointers. I didn’t know that it was edible. I’ll find a chance to try it.”

To thank Li Nianfan for providing such information, the owner gave them another free batch of buns. He also waived the bill.

Li Nianfan thanked him. Although this was only a small pointer, it was surely a priceless pointer to the owner.

As he was about to leave, the owner suddenly thought of something. He said, “Right, I heard that there will be some activities on New Year’s Day. It seems that some cultivators are organizing a big event, do join us!”

“The cultivators celebrating New Year’s Day?” Li Nianfan was startled.

“Has this happened before?”

“Never heard of it. It’s usually the ordinary people celebrating New Year with cultivators joining occasionally. I’ve never heard of the cultivators organizing New Year’s events. I wonder what they’re up to.” The owner shook his head with a hint of anticipation in his eyes and he could not help saying, “I’m guessing it’ll be quite lively. I don’t know where it’ll happen though. Mr. Li, you’re always out. Do take part if you’re interested.”

Li Nianfan looked at his look of anticipation and he could not help saying, “Who knows, it could be held in the Fallen Town.”

The owner shook his head bitterly. “Impossible, why would the cultivators pick a town with ordinary men? They would at least pick a prosperous land!”

Nanan pouted beside him. She could not help mumbling, “Hmph! What festival is that? Is it as entertaining as a television?”

Bam!

Li Niainfan’s face darkened. He slapped Nanan’s head and said, “You’re always watching television. I’m punishing you. No television for three days!”

The television was one of the few entertainments for Li Nianfan. To him, making up his own shows was quite boring. However, to Nanan and the rest, this was an other-worldly object, very shocking!

Li Nianfan was trying to keep Nanan and Dragin from boredom. He would play some cartoons for them. However, it went out of hand instantly. These two young girls were addicted to it. They begged him to let them watch television every day.

It was not just them. Even Daji and the Fire Phoenix were acting the same. Li Nianfan did not know if he was making it up in his head, but he somehow felt that the chicken he was raising also watched the television from behind them.

Right, this realm had no entertainment. This bunch of people could get addicted to listening to stories, what more watching television?

“Oh.” Nanan pouted. She agreed unwillingly.

Dragin asked with anticipation, “Brother, what about me? I’m fine, right?”

“You, too! No television for three days!”

Instantly, the smile on Dragin’s face vanished. She was upset as well.

The crowd walked around before returning to the four-part architecture.

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the Fallen Immoral Mountain, two clouds arrived one after another.

Gu Xirou saw the other party. She greeted hastily, “Greetings to Princess Ziye.”

She then said to Qin Manyun beside her, “Manyun, this is the Seventh Princess of the Heavenly Temple. Say hi.”

Qin Manyun instantly greeted, “Greetings to the Seventh Princess.”

“Oh, Immortal Gu. Hello.” Ziye greeted back. She asked, “You’re here for Mr. Li?”

“Yeah.” Gu Xirou nodded. She said, “My disciple thought of an idea. We came here to invite Mr. Li.”

“Oh?” Ziye looked at Qin Manyun.

Gu Xirou continued, “Seventh Princess, my disciple met the expert a long time ago. I met the expert all because of her.”

“I see.” Ziye’s face became serious. Her attitude toward Qin Manyun had changed. “So, you probably know the expert quite well?”

“I won’t say quite well, just a little of what he likes.” Qin Manyun stopped for a moment before saying, “The expert’s power’s beyond speculation. He lives as if it’s all a game. However, he’s calm and friendly. He doesn’t like to win or be competitive. Therefore…if he treats life as a game, he just likes interesting activities. The truth is, I had the privilege of attending a few events with the expert and he seemed pleased.”

“You’re right, the expert…” Ziye thought of the things Cheng Yi said to her. She had a look of terror in her eyes. However, she took back what she was about to say. “The expert’s way beyond this world. He’s reached the realm of doing whatever he pleases. We can’t anticipate his moves, but we must remember one thing, we can’t upset him! What do you plan to do?”

“The expert taught us two divine pieces and we haven’t performed it for him. It’s almost New Year, and we want to use this opportunity to host a festival. We’ll prepare many exciting activities and invite the expert over.” Qin Manyun paused. She then continued, “The reason we came this time is to find out what the expert thinks about it. If he’s happy with it, we’ll start inviting people.”

“This idea’s good.” Ziye smiled and nodded. She said, “If we’re performing for the expert, it has to be carefully planned. Count me in, we’ll organize it well!”

Gu Xirou and Qin Manyun smiled and said, “With the Seventh Princess joining, this festival would be massive!”

Gu Xirou asked, “Right, may I know what’s the reason the Seventh Princess is visiting the expert?”

Ziye replied, “Doesn’t the expert like to collect seeds? I brought over the seeds of the Flat Peach and Yellow Plum. I hope the expert likes it.”

Flat Peach?

Yellow Plum?

She was indeed the Seventh Princess! How wealthy! She even had such seeds!

Gu Xirou and Qin Manyun felt their eyes popping out. They were excited.

They did not know much about the Yellow Plum, but the name of the Flat Peach was like thunder to the ears. How shocking!

Especially Qin Manyun. She remembered when she first heard of the ‘Journey to the West’. The Flat Peaches left a deep impression on her, especially their effects. She felt that these fruits were beyond her reach. And yet, the seed appeared before her. It was like a child who grew up listening to the stories of the Immortals and finally meeting an Immortal. How unreal!

Everything happened because of the expert. Without the expert, Immortalizing would still be an issue, let alone getting this close to the seeds!

Gu Xirou licked her lips as she asked, “This…Seventh Princess, will eating a Flat Peach make one live forever?”

“Yes!” Ziye smiled, her tone playful to excite Qin Manyun and Gu Xirou. However, she continued, “If you keep eating and have enough of them, you will!”

The last sentence instantly helped Qin Manyun and Gu Xirou to calm down.

When Ziye saw their expressions, she could not help saying, “The Flat Peaches can help the ordinary to get rid of their mortal shells and Immortalize right away. Furthermore, it has the benefits of longevity. They can slow down the Five Decays of the Immortals but only delay it. If not, the Flat Peach Festival only needs to be held once. Why would they need to hold one every three thousand years?”

The world had its order, so did the lifespan of beings. How could it get easier?

Gu Xirou and Qin Manyun nodded. They understood and cried out with astonishment, “It’s very impressive!”

To the Immortals, the Five Decays was a very terrifying disaster. The mention of it was already very terrifying. Many Immortals would do crazy things to live longer. This showed the importance of Flat Peaches.

After all…the lives of the Immortals were too precious!

Gu Xirou could not help asking, “How long can it prolong one’s life?”

Ziye smiled and said, “As the ‘Journey to the West’ said, the number of years it takes to ripen is the number of years it adds to one’s lifespan.”

Gu Xirou and Qin Manyun learned something new.

As they spoke, the four-part architecture gradually appeared in sight. They straightened their faces and had a serious look on. They stopped talking.
