Chapter 468 Lin Jue's Feast of Realization "I heard that you are going to hold a banquet? I hope I didn't miss it again, Taoist?" The voice of the third senior brother came from the sky. "You are the latest!" The second senior brother looked up. "Then punish me by drinking twenty cups!" The third brother landed on the ground, grinning. "You'll be punished not to drink any alcohol at all," said the Seventh Brother. “Hey! Isn’t this Master Lin?” The third senior brother ignored that and looked directly at Lin Jue. “It is said that a master has achieved enlightenment. He is truly a master! Master, please accept my greetings first!” "Brother, you have grown old..." Lin Jue looked at his third senior brother and found that compared to when they parted seven years ago, his appearance had aged, his skin had become darker, his beard had become untidy, and he really looked like he had been through a lot. "A little bit of frost, not worth the real person's concern." The third brother waved his hand, "What are you talking about?" "Golden pill." "What golden elixir?"

The second brother then told him what had just happened. "As expected of Master Lin! I told you, we should let Master Lin be our eldest senior brother and the abbot of Fuqiu Temple. This way, we are all disciples of the immortal, and we in Fuqiu Temple will also have an immortal!" The third senior brother hit his left hand with his right hand, then separated his hands and asked with a smile, "What formula do you need for the golden elixir?" Everyone looked at Lin Jue. "Generally speaking, you need a thousand ounces of gold, two catties of merit, four cents of thousand-year-old fire ginseng, four cents of thousand-year-old snow lotus, one Earth Spirit Pill, four cents of top-grade gold essence, one swallow egg incense, eight ounces of East China Sea morning glow, eight ounces of West Region evening glow, three catties of Nanshan stone, two dou of North Leopard Spring, and two cents each of dragon whiskers and phoenix feathers. Go to a place where the human energy is at its peak, focus your eyes and concentrate, refine it with true fire for a thousand days, remove impurities, and you will get the golden pill." After hearing this, everyone was stunned. "A thousand ounces of gold? How much wine can it buy?" "Earth Spirit Pill? Is that it?" "Two pounds of merit, no one except Fifth Junior Brother can get it." "Morning glow, evening glow, South Mountain stone, North Leopard Spring, it sounds easy, but if we want to make an elixir, don't we have to practice the collection method?" "No wonder Junior Brother asked me about Yanlanxiang..." "It's hard to say about other things, but dragons and phoenixes are already very rare in the world, so where can dragon whiskers and phoenix feathers go?" "No wonder Senior Brother is running around." "How did Junior Brother manage to gather so many things in the past ten years?" Everyone looked at Lin Jue. "It is indeed not easy to achieve enlightenment." The third brother took off his wine gourd, tilted his head back and took a sip of wine. He was serious for a rare moment, and his eyes flashed with pity for his fellow apprentice. Then he shook his head again and said: "This thing is too troublesome. I have to look for materials and make the elixir. I also have to learn the collection method and the alchemy technique. I am too lazy to do it. I came back today to eat the enlightenment banquet of my junior brother and see if Master Lin is willing to cook and show off his cooking skills after he has achieved enlightenment. But I will write down the ingredients in this recipe for the time being. If I find these when I travel around the world, I don't mind taking the trouble to get them for you. After you achieve enlightenment, just get me some fine wine." "Junior brother, have you thought it through?" asked the second senior brother. "Brother, don't you want to be with Princess Hua forever?" said the seventh brother.

"What is there to think about? I have lived longer than most people in the world down there. I have lived a lifetime. Don't I have thought it through?" The third brother said as he drank. "I want to become an immortal so that I can be free and unfettered. If I have to work hard for this, what kind of immortal am I going to be?" Then he paused: "Besides, with the Great Yin-Yang Method, even without the Golden Elixir, I, the Taoist Master, can still achieve enlightenment and live a long and happy life, right?" "I think Third Brother has said something that makes sense." Fourth Brother smiled and said, "Although the golden elixir is good, it is too difficult to refine. I don't think I can make it. I'd better let nature take its course." "I'm not interested in this, so I won't bother with it." The fifth brother leaned on his crutch. Lin Jue nodded: "It's up to you, brothers, to choose." This was not what he expected - The several senior brothers all have their own personalities and pursuits. This is both their life and their path. Throwing out the golden elixir is just giving them another choice. Where there are choices, there are naturally those who do not choose. Anyway, you have to tell them. "I will ask my medium about these materials later." said the Sixth Brother. "I can also find more when I look for materials for the elixir." said the second senior brother. "It's not just you. We can save time by communicating with each other." The seventh brother said, "If there is still some left after the division, maybe the third brother will change his mind." "Do your best." said the eldest brother. "Fellow brothers, there is no need to rush. Please let nature take its course. It will take another fifty years for the thousand-year-old snow lotus to bloom again. Perhaps before then, some brothers will have achieved enlightenment." Lin Jue said, "If there is anything you don't know, remember to ask me. If you have any trouble, come to me." The little junior sister stood there, thinking of the golden essence she had won by defeating the crocodile king by the Weishui River, the sunset outside the Western Regions held up by her senior brother in a jade bottle, and the few earth spirit pills left by the Queen Mother of the East... I just feel that it is not easy to achieve enlightenment. How is this not a series of spiritual tribulations? At this moment, the third brother said happily: "When I came back, I passed by Hammer Mountain and smelled a strange fragrance coming from the mountain. I'm afraid that the mountain god is about to brew another batch of Thousand Day Wine. Calculating the time, it will take at least one or two years for the banquet to start. Since Junior Brother wants to invite us back under the pretext of drinking wine and wants to hold a real banquet, how can he not have good wine? Why don't I go and visit with some gifts and ask for some?" "It just so happens that I also want to find some good wine so that I can take it to a real person to ask for advice on how to make it come true, so I'll go with my senior brother." Lin Jue said. "Then I'll go too!" said the junior sister. "it is good!" "Then let's prepare some ingredients." The eldest brother said, "Thanks to the recipe from junior brother, Ji Yin and Ji Yang have learned some of the essence. This time, junior brother will have a ready-made meal." …… Hammer Mountain is still the same, with green grass, jagged rocks and ancient pines, and a group of monkeys grunting and carrying a jar. The tiger banquet I attended when I passed by is like a dream, and I still remember it clearly. Just coming here again, it has become a true enlightenment. But of course there is no reason to disrespect the mountain god, Lin Jue is still respectful and polite, treating him as a senior, and exchanged a Lingyuan Pill for a can of newly brewed Qianri wine. A journey that used to take several days now only takes a moment. When we returned to Fuqiu Temple in Yishan, the sun had already set. Smoke was rising from the Taoist temple, and it was bustling with activity.

But the person busy in the kitchen was no longer Lin Jue. But Ji Yang and Ji Yin. After getting Lin Jue's recipes, the two of them studied hard for seven or eight years and gained some experience. However, Lin Jue was also in the kitchen, watching them and giving them some pointers. The junior sister stood aside in a daze. The brother and sister who were the youngest and always cooking in the kitchen have now become the elders, and they have been replaced by another pair of brother and sister. The setting sun falls down the hillside, splashing up fireworks. The Taoist temple on the mountain also lit lanterns, with fireflies lingering and the whole place brightly lit. Plates of dishes floated in the air, steaming, and flew out automatically, landing on the long wooden table under the ancient pine tree in the courtyard. "Senior brother, look!" The junior sister suddenly pointed to the side. Lin Jue turned his head and glanced—— Two young Taoist priests carried an exquisite food box and three incense sticks to the open space of the Taoist temple. They placed the food box on the stone bricks and inserted the incense sticks into the mud between the bricks as a sacrifice to the mountain god of Yishan. They actually inherited Lin Jue's habits! And we have also upgraded the equipment! "Hahaha……" Lin Jue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "These two people have great potential." Looking at the table again, dishes were floating up and down steadily, most of which were what Lin Jue had written on the menu. Spring bamboo shoots stewed with bacon, steamed shrimps, braised mixed fish, crucian carp with scallions, rabbit with young ginger, salt-baked chicken, as well as other braised dishes that taste almost exactly the same and it is obvious that no changes have been made to the recipe, as well as a few home-cooked side dishes that adapt to the season. "Taste it!" The eldest brother greeted. The third brother was not polite at all. He put down his chopsticks immediately and his eyes lit up immediately: "Junior brother has 70% to 80% of his strength!" Many senior brothers picked up their chopsticks and praised the dish highly. “Really good!” "Big Brother can be said to have benefited from Ji Yin, Ji Yang and Little Brother's recipes and is now enjoying a peaceful life..." "Needless to say! The number of days that our eldest brother has spent on the mountain exceeds the total number of days that all previous masters of Fuqiu Temple have spent together!" "But I still miss my junior brother's blanket the most..." "Didn't the eldest brother accept any new disciples?" "I saw one last year and thought he was good, but his parents refused to give him to me." The eldest brother said as he sat at the table, "In recent years, there have been many displaced children. I asked the spirit medium, and it turned out that this chaotic world will continue for some time. Even if the new dynasty is just beginning to settle down, it will not be settled in a short time. There is no rush, no rush."

"I also told you to take a little more and teach me first, and then give me some after you've taught me how to cook." "Hahaha……" Several people discussed it and praised Ji Yin and Ji Yang highly. "You don't want to accept disciples yet?" said the eldest brother. "Why would I accept a disciple? I'm alone, and that's enough for my life!" said the third brother. "If I accept someone like me, I'll just be a burden. It'll be even more annoying if I accept someone like me!" "Huh? Didn't you just say that Princess Hua was still waiting for you to come back from dinner at the South China Sea?" Seventh Senior Brother asked puzzledly. "You're annoying too!" "I have already found one. He is a child from a family at the foot of Shimen Mountain. He often comes to the mountain to play. I don't know how talented he is, but he is quite insightful and has a lot of spiritual energy. He is very close to the animals and birds in the mountains, and he also gets along well with my friends." The fourth brother said, "I will not look at his talent, but only at fate." "I am also waiting for fate." said the fifth brother. "There are many dignitaries who want their children to worship me as their master, but I don't think it's appropriate." The sixth brother said, "Anyway, I'm not as old as the first and second brothers, so why rush?" "Me too, no rush, no rush." ​​said the Seventh Brother. "Where's the little brother?" "After I go back, I want to find a place with abundant spiritual energy and build a Taoist temple. On the one hand, I want to practice in seclusion, and on the other hand, I want to learn from my senior brother and recruit a few apprentices to cook, sweep the floor, and serve me." This is something Lin Jue has been thinking about for a long time. "The world is in chaos now. If they learn some skills, they can also go down the mountain to eliminate demons and bring peace to the world." "Tsk tsk! The gate of the immortal..." A bite of delicious food, a sip of good wine, a burst of joy, and not caring about the worries of the world - this is the fairy-like life that everyone has longed for. Although a thousand-day wine is good, you should not drink too much. A few people relaxed their bodies and minds, drank half a jar, and got half drunk. There was half left, and when the drunken third brother tried to pretend to take it away, Lin Jue snatched it away first. (End of this chapter)
