Lu Changsheng presented the Origin Dao Fruit, drawing sidelong glances from everyone.
The Origin Dao Fruit and the Great Dao Immortal Peach are both eighteen-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Lu Changsheng, a Preliminary Immortal Emperor, was prepared to offer Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the fifteenth or sixteenth grade as birthday gifts, which would have been quite enough. Unexpectedly, he directly brought out the Origin Dao Fruit as a gift.
Just how wealthy is the Holy Son of Taihua?
Only the Banished Sword Immortal was not surprised.
He had personally seen Lu Changsheng produce a nineteenth-grade Immortal Pill known as the “Reversed Spirit Immortal Pill” and a twenty-first-grade Talisman called the “Taiyin Goddess Talisman.” What was an eighteenth-grade Origin Dao Fruit in comparison?
“You are thoughtful,” the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace said appreciatively.
Palace Master Yaochi seemed somewhat surprised when she received the Origin Dao Fruit. With a wave of her hand, a Mutton Fat Jade Vial appeared in her hand.
“This contains a pool of water from Yaochi, taken from the center, which can be used to nourish all kinds of divine trees and exotic flowers and herbs.”
The Palace Master of Yaochi bestowed the Mutton Fat Jade Vial as a reward.
“Thank you, Palace Master,” Lu Changsheng said.
Receiving the water from Yaochi as a reward was an unexpected gain for Lu Changsheng.
The water from Yaochi, along with the Three Lights Divine Water and the Eight Treasures Merit Pool Water, is one of the spiritual waters between heaven and earth.
The Three Lights Divine Water can heal injuries.
The Eight Treasures Merit Pool Water can purify evil influences.
The water from Yaochi can aid the growth of all plants.
The reason Yaochi produces various Pan Peaches is precisely because of the miraculous properties of its water.
Everyone once again looked on with envy.
The Palace Master of Yaochi treated Lu Changsheng extremely well and even reciprocated with a gift.
Lin Qinghan offered up a box of Enlightenment Tea Leaves.
Enlightenment Tea Leaves are a unique treasure from the Holy Land of Taihua, ranked as a sixteenth-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure. They may not be as superior as the Origin Dao Fruit, but there was an ample quantity.
This wooden box contained ninety-nine pieces of Enlightenment Tea Leaves.
The Palace Master of Yaochi gifted Lin Qinghan a Jade Hairpin.
This was a magical artifact that could also serve as an ornament.
As the Holy Son of Taihua and someone who had married a disciple of the Palace Master of Yaochi, Lin Xuantong took out a purple wooden box for the eightieth millionth birthday of the Palace Master of Yaochi. The box had only a crack open, but the refreshing fragrance that emanated made everyone’s pores relax. Just by taking a whiff, all those present seemed to hover on the edge of Path Comprehension.
“These are Chaos Tea Leaves born from the Enlightenment Ancestral Tree,” said Lin Xuantong simply, yet those cultivators who knew of the Enlightenment Ancestral Tree couldn’t help but be moved.
The Enlightenment Ancestral Tree, one of the ancient divine trees, bears Chaos Tea Leaves, rated as a nineteenth-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, and is a rare treasure of the world.
With just one piece of Chaos Tea Leaf, drinking the tea could keep one in a state of Sudden Enlightenment for an extended period.
Like the Great Dao Immortal Peach of Yaochi, the Chaos Tea Leaves were not easily shared with outsiders; only the Holy Land of Taihua possessed this treasure.
For the birthday of the Palace Master of Yaochi, Lin Xuantong presented the Chaos Tea Leaves, showing the close relationship between Mount Taihua and Yaochi, as if they were allies.
“The Holy Land of Lianshan offers three ‘Reversed Spirit Immortal Pills,’ wishing the Palace Master a lifespan as enduring as the southern mountains.”
“The Holy Land of Mt. Sumeru presents the Longevity Flower, wishing the Palace Master endless joy and bliss.”
“The Holy Land of Taishi presents the Five-Colored Divine Stone, wishing the Palace Master everlasting youth through the spring and autumn.”
“The Ancient Feng Family bestows a Phoenix Demon Core, wishing the Palace Master a constancy like the moon and a rise like the sun.”

One by one, the forces presented birthday gifts, all of which were curious and extraordinary treasures, dazzling to those who witnessed them. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire
What sort of person was the Palace Master of Yaochi?
If the congratulatory gifts were ordinary items you’d find at a street stall, it would be utterly embarrassing in front of all the great Holy Lands and Prestigious Families.
“How could we miss the Palace Master of Yaochi’s grand birthday in our Guanghan Palace?”
A cold voice rang out as a group of Sword Cultivators arrived on their swords, breaking into Yaochi. Clad in white, they were a stunning group of handsome men and beautiful women, with an aloof demeanor.
This group of Sword Cultivators wore Daoist Robes with the emblem of a palace embroidered over their chests.
“They’re from the Holy Land of Guanghan.”
“Guanghan Palace isn’t far from Yaochi, so how come they arrived so late?”
Most of the attendees were Elders and Holy Sons from various powers in the Immortal Realm and recognized the emblem of Guanghan Palace.
Seeing the people from Guanghan Palace arrive, both the Palace Master of Yaochi and Feng Qing’er’s faces turned a shade of iron blue, while Liu Mufeng looked quite awkward, visibly uncomfortable.
Lin Xuantong and Liu Yue’er exchanged glances. Their expressions were relatively calm, yet there was a hint of amusement in their demeanor. “It’s said that the Palace Master of Guanghan once fell in love with the same man as the Holy Maiden of Yaochi. Could it be that man is…”
Seeing the strange looks on everyone’s faces, Lu Changsheng quickly understood the connections.
Could it be that Feng Qing’er was the Holy Maiden of Yaochi who had clashed with the Palace Master of Guanghan in the past?
And Liu Mufeng was likely the Holy Son candidate of Yaochi back then who ultimately chose his childhood sweetheart, Feng Qing’er.
As for the Palace Master of Yaochi’s grimace, it was probably because the Palace Master of Guanghan had once brought a group of experts from Guanghan Palace to cause a major disturbance at Liu Mufeng and Feng Qing’er’s wedding, attempting to abduct Liu Mufeng.
One must know that the Palace Master of Yaochi’s dearest Direct Disciple had been abducted into the Demon Realm and her whereabouts remain unknown. The action of the Palace Master of Guanghan hit a raw nerve, no wonder the Palace Master of Yaochi still maintained a poor relationship with Guanghan Palace.
The delegation from Guanghan Palace landed, led by Guanghan Palace Master Li Heng, along with hundreds of Elders from Guanghan Palace, among whom were no shortage of Immortal Emperor powerhouses.
Holy Maiden Xia Ningxue stood by the Palace Master of Guanghan, slender and graceful, unparalleled in beauty. Many young cultivators at the assembly were stunned by her, unable to look away.
There were many Holy Maidens and Holy Maiden Candidates at the grand assembly in Yaochi, but compared to Xia Ningxue, they seemed to fall a bit short.
Even Feng Mu of the ancient Feng Family found his attention drawn to Xia Ningxue.
This was Xia Ningxue’s first appearance in front of the major powers.
Although Xia Ningxue had not yet made it onto the Qilin Ranking, she possessed the strength to enter the top ten of the ranking.
“Is this the newly appointed Holy Maiden of Guanghan?”
