Chapter 224 Jealousy Makes the Immortal Unrecognizable
On the Jinling, a group of immortals from the human world hosted a banquet to entertain the envoys from heaven.
Even Taibai Jinxing from the Heavenly Palace could not help but exclaim when he saw this magnificent ship: "As expected of the Son of Heaven, Prince Wen's vehicle is so magnificent!"
Wen Rui immediately sensed a business opportunity and whispered, "Brother Chang Geng, if we decorate this boat, inlay it with gemstones and jade, carve dragons and phoenixes on it, and present it to His Majesty the Jade Emperor as a cruise ship on the Tianhe River, His Majesty would be happy. How many fairy jades would he reward me with?"
"You gave me such a big gift, but you only asked for the Immortal Jade?" Taibai Jinxing frowned and said, "This boat can show the generosity of the Heavenly Court. If Your Majesty is pleased, and with my accumulated merits and connections in the Heavenly Court, it won't be a problem for me to be granted the title of Emperor."
Wen Rui shook his head regretfully: "Forget it. The heaven is not as free and easy as the mortal world. The position of the emperor is not real, and it is a loss-making business."
Wen Rui and Taibai Jinxing sat at the top, with the four great immortal sect leaders sitting at the bottom.
The emotions of several immortals were very complicated at this moment.
If Wen Rui had not demonstrated his extraordinary abilities before, they might have cursed in their hearts that it is better to be born well than to cultivate well, and that reincarnation is a technical job.
But he killed two Arhats with one move, showing a power that matched his status. Several immortals could only regret deeply that they had not actively tried to get close to him before.
This is really a matter of time. Back then, the Golden Immortal of the Orthodox Sect won the Battle of Conferred Gods and avoided the calamity of being included in the list of Conferred Gods.
However, I never expected that in later generations there would be a situation where too many Jiejiao immortals were on the list and held important positions in the Heavenly Court, thus benefiting their descendants.
Looking at Wen Rui again, their mentality was a little broken.
In the past, I only thought of him as a spoiled mortal who relied on his father's power, but now I have to look up to him.
Now...
Didn’t you hear him say that no one even looks down upon the throne of the emperor or god?
These sect leaders ascended to heaven and were satisfied with being a minor official. If they could become an official of official seal, no matter how small the position was, such as Bizhu Wen, they would have to burn incense to express their gratitude.
The immortals are more numerous than others, which makes them angry to death.
Same immortal, different fate.
Several immortals were looking at them eagerly, and Wen Rui suddenly turned to them and asked, "By the way, this ship was sold to you before, but you never thought of collecting money to buy it, and if you have the chance to ascend to heaven in the future, you can use it as a gift for promotion and get a high position and generous salary?"
The four clan leaders looked at each other in bewilderment. They were enlightened by these words and realized that this flashy large toy could be used in this way.
"Is it too late to buy now?" Chang Qing Zhenren said quickly: "I will pay with spiritual stones in cash, 1 billion spiritual stones can be delivered on the spot!"
Wen Rui chuckled and said, "Sorry, the price has increased. It is now priced at 2 billion. No discount."
This shameless face of raising the price made Changqing Zhenren's face turn pale with anger, but he did not dare to get angry. He just muttered in a low voice: "Humph, you can't find a big enemy who can take out 2 billion spirit stones in the mortal world..."
Wen Rui didn't care.
As the saying goes, good goods never have trouble selling. If the Jinling can be used as a storefront or as a gift to exchange for an official position in heaven, no matter how much it is sold for, there will be many immortals who are about to ascend to heaven lining up to buy it.
You hesitate when it comes to 1 billion, and you hesitate again when it comes to 2 billion. After a few more years, you may not be able to buy it even for 3 billion.
The one who will regret it then definitely won't be Wen Rui.
Unexpectedly, the reversal came faster than Wen Rui expected, and Taibai Jinxing immediately provided an assist.
"This time, I, the Heavenly Official, came to the mortal world for one, to investigate the cause of the war between Taoism and Buddhism, secondly, to mediate the war, and thirdly..."
"The land god, the city god, the five Jie Di, and the four guards have reported the truth to me. It has been found that all the responsibility lies with the Western Zen sect. The crimes committed by the Zen sect are too numerous to list. Not only must they bear all the consequences of starting the war, but they must also compensate the injured female cultivators."
Taibai Jinxing bowed his hands towards the sky and said, "I have already written a petition and sent it back to the Heavenly Palace to report to the Jade Emperor. Your Majesty is so wise and wise that he will definitely send an envoy to Lingshan to lodge a solemn protest and seek justice for your righteous war."
The four clan leaders were delighted when they heard this. With the endorsement of Heaven, this war was a success and they no longer had to worry about the counterattack of the Western religion. However, the next surprise came even more suddenly to Xue Bao.
"Xue Bao, the leader of the Jinting Immortal Sect!"
At this point, Taibai Jinxing cast his gaze on Xue Bao and asked, "In the battle to break the Western Religion's 'Great Trouble Love and Bright King Formation', will you be the chief commander and command the entire process?"
Xue Bao nodded subconsciously, stood up and bowed, saying: "It is me, the immortal. The military tactics of the mortal world are mediocre. I am a mediocre person and a laughing stock. Please don't laugh at me, heavenly officials."
"General Xue is so modest!"
Taibai Jinxing showed an admiring look: "In Lingxiao Palace, all the immortal generals are impressed by your ability to command troops, and Li Jing Tianwang has praised you highly. The Jade Emperor has orally ordered that you will ascend to heaven and be appointed as the deputy general under Marshal Li Jing, specializing in training troops, so I came to invite you."
At this point, he stood up and bowed in return: "From now on, I will serve as a minister in the same palace with the general. Please take care of each other in the future."
"what?"
Xue Bao was stunned for a long while before he could not help but be overjoyed and said in disbelief: "I... am I going to be deified?"
The other three sect leaders all looked stunned, and then their expressions became different, all very interesting.
"Excuse me, Heavenly Official, what about me...us?" True Man Zi Yang couldn't help but ask with anticipation.
"You?" Taibai Jinxing's face darkened, and he said calmly, "You have no ability to command troops, and you have not made any achievements. The Heavenly Court will issue an order to commend you and give you the honor you deserve."
"Just a reward?"
Zhenren Changqing couldn't hold it anymore and asked quickly.
Taibai Jinxing was getting more and more impatient: "What a great honor the Heavenly Court has awarded you, and you are still not satisfied?"
"We fought together, so why is it that only he can be deified?"
The second fairy's tone was extremely bitter, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Xue Bao, as the commander-in-chief, is good at commanding troops and is also an extraordinary trainer."
Taibai Jinxian said with a straight face: "After 10 days of military training, the ordinary cultivators have condensed their military spirits and their wills are as strong as iron. They broke through the Western Religion's heart-destroying formation in one go. With such talents and merits, they were favored by the Jade Emperor and were awarded the title of Divine General."
Having said this, he glanced at Zi Yang and Chang Qing and said disdainfully: "You dare to compete with General Xue for credit? You are too far behind!"
"Hey, it's because he can win by cutting... It has nothing to do with his talent..."
"We have also paid a lot, and our sacrifices are great!"
Jealousy can change a person beyond recognition. Under the temptation of becoming a god, the two immortals spoke without restraint and almost revealed the secret.
Taibai Jinxing frowned, and found something suspicious. He blurted out a series of questions: "Huh? What's the matter? How come it has nothing to do with General Xue's ability? What did you pay?"
True Man Zi Yang and True Man Chang Qing looked at each other, then looked at Wen Rui and Xue Bao who were glaring at them, and finally lowered their heads unwillingly, saying dejectedly:
"Nothing, we are just obsessed with becoming officials..."
Wen Rui interrupted without missing a beat, "You just want to get an official position, that's not easy, just spend 2 billion to buy the Golden Spirit, and ask the angels to take it back to heaven to present it to the Jade Emperor, and you can get a noble and leisurely position in return."
"It's a rare opportunity. There is only one Golden Spirit. The highest bidder will get it. If you miss this opportunity, you won't get this price again."
