Chapter 352: (2): Jade Pendant from the Old Ancestor, Bright Moon in the Sky
While the courtyard was filled with joy and harmony...
In the jurisdiction of a small mountain god shrine located approximately fifty kilometers away from Riding Crane City, there was the residence of the mountain god which couldn't be regarded as an official residence. This was because the mountain god shrine received far too few offerings each year. Even so, the mountain god's residence was constructed like an immortal abode.
There was an endless stream of esteemed customers these past two days, and the extremely honored mountain god personally acted as their attendant, helping them boil water and brew tea and serving them to the best of his ability.
The first guest to arrive was a genuine immortal from the mountains, and he was accompanied by two young and breathtakingly beautiful female cultivators.
This person was Du Hanling, the temple master of the Golden Summit Daoist Temple and an extremely renowned Nascent Tier earth immortal. The Golden Summit Daoist Temple was located in a beautiful place in the northern regions of Parasol Leaf Continent.
To say nothing of a measly mountain god shrine, even the emperor of the Great Quan Empire might not be able to invite such a paramount esteemed immortal to his imperial palace, especially with how powerful and influential this earth immortal was.
In the beginning, the mountain god had been so terrified that even his gold-gilded clay statue in the shrine had started to become unstable. However, Du Hanling had personally promised that he was only borrowing this place to host his friends. Moreover, he would definitely offer a thank-you gift afterward. The mountain god had immediately felt reassured. After all, there was no need for Esteemed Immortal Du to play mind games with a measly mountain god like himself. He wasn't worthy of this.
Afterward, a well-dressed official arrived at the mountain god shrine with a few subordinates, all of who were impressive Qi refiners.
Following him, a young and handsome Daoist priest quietly ascended the mountain, accompanied by a master and their disciple. The master was an old man with a middling cultivation base and suffering severe wounds at this moment. His disciple was a tall and sturdy young boy with a simple and honest appearance.
