346: Chapter 345 Inventorying the Spoils of War, Peach Garden Buffet

Why fight wars? For justice? For peace? For love?

No, for a pragmatist like Lin Feng, besides those lofty reasons, what's more important is—getting rich!

As the saying goes, a horse doesn't get fat without night grass, and a man doesn't get rich without windfall.

Lingxiao Palace had been dismantled. The next main event was naturally raiding the house... oh no, "asset liquidation."

In front of the Heavenly Court's treasure vault door.

That "Nine Dragon Lock," which claimed to combine Luban's mechanism arts and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's Formation, and could only be opened by the Jade Emperor's fingerprint and retina, lasted less than three seconds in front of Lin Feng's "System Master Key."

"Click."

With a soft sound, the thick black iron door slowly opened.

Golden light! Blinding golden light!

"Holy..."

Even Princess Yao Ji, who was knowledgeable and had served as a steward in the Demon Realm, couldn't help but curse, staring straight inside.

This wasn't a treasure vault; it was practically an independent Small World!

Mountains of top-tier Immortal Crystals were piled casually on the ground like trash, radiating dense Spiritual Qi; the shelves were filled with Nine-Turn Golden Pellet refined by the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord—not counted by the pill, but by the gourd; various Innate Spirit Treasure and Acquired supreme treasures were displayed like common cabbage.

There were also brocades woven from ten-thousand-year ice silkworm silk, top-tier pearls looted from the East Sea...

"We're rich! We're rich, Boss!"

Fugui revealed its true form, let out a pig-like shriek, and dove into the pile of Immortal Crystals to roll around, refusing to come out, "I've never seen so much money in my life! I want to sleep here! Don't drag me away!"

"Calm down. Don't look like you've never seen the world; you're embarrassing me."

Although Lin Feng was overjoyed inside, his heart pounding, he still had to pretend to be a calm and collected big shot on the surface.

"Princess Yao Ji, take some people and count this. Divide it into three parts."

Lin Feng held up three fingers and arranged everything clearly: "One part goes into the public treasury of the Tiance Divine Court as everyone's future salary and welfare; one part goes to the System shop to exchange for critical hit points to upgrade my equipment; the remaining part..."

Lin Feng paused, looked at the soldiers around him with expectant eyes, and waved his hand: "Distribute it to all the brothers who participated in this battle! Even the gatekeepers and the ones stoking the fires get a big red envelope! Everyone gets a share!"

"Long live the Palace Master! The Boss is generous!"

The cheers of the Heavenly Soldiers (now officially renamed the Tiance Army) shook the heavens and earth.

Before, they worked for the Jade Emperor, and their wages wouldn't rise in hundreds of years, plus they were always deducted. Now, after only one day with the new boss, they got a year-end bonus? And such an astronomical amount?

With treatment like this, who would want to rebel? They were Lin Feng's people for life!

"Leave this to Princess Yao Ji. Nezha, let's go to a good place."

Lin Feng chuckled and took Nezha, Erlang Shen (who had just joined and was still adapting), and a group of core members straight to that legendary place—the Flat Peach Garden.

The Flat Peach Garden was the apple of the Queen Mother of the West's eye.

The Flat Peaches inside ripened every three thousand years; eating one allowed a Mortal to achieve Immortal Ascension and Dao; ripening every six thousand years, eating one allowed one to soar and achieve Ascension; ripening every nine thousand years, eating one allowed one to live as long as the heavens and earth.

In the past, only top Grand Unity Golden Immortal had the qualifications to get one during the Flat Peach Banquet, and they had to nibble on it carefully.

Now?

The door had already been kicked open by Nezha.

A rich fruity fragrance rushed into their Faces; just smelling it made one feel the magic power in their body restless.

"Brothers! Listen up!"

Lin Feng stood under the largest purple-patterned Flat Peach tree and announced loudly, "Today we're having a team-building event! The theme is—Flat Peach BBQ Buffet! Eat until you're full! Anyone who can't eat is not giving me Face!"

"Woohoo!"

This bunch of guys, who had been craving it for a long time, instantly turned into hungry wolves.

What? Flat Peaches are precious, and one must bathe, change clothes, burn incense, and pray to taste them carefully?

Nonexistent.

Nezha flew directly onto the tree, picked two nine-thousand-year Flat Peaches as big as washbasins, didn't wash them, wiped them on his clothes, and stuffed them into his mouth, biting until juice splashed everywhere.

"Sweet! So sweet! It tastes way better than my lotus root! I used to watch my dad eat it and it made me so jealous; today I'm going to eat ten!"

The newly surrendered Marshal Tian Peng (still in his handsome guy form) was even more outrageous; he used a Spell to juice a basket of Flat Peaches and poured it into his mouth from a large vat: "Is this the legendary fairy water? It's nothing special. Bring another vat!"

Even Fugui was hugging a top-tier Flat Peach bigger than its head, gnawing on it and oinking, obviously extremely happy.

The most excessive was Lin Feng.

He had people set up a huge barbecue grill, using ten-thousand-year lightning-struck wood for charcoal and Samadhi True Fire (kindly provided by Nezha) for fire.

"Come, come, try my craft. This is called 'Flat Peach Grilled Meat'."

Lin Feng cut the Flat Peach into slices, sandwiched them between slices of Dragon liver (actually top-tier ingredients just sent by the East Sea Dragon King to show loyalty), brushed on secret sauce, and grilled it until it sizzled with oil.

The fruit fragrance mixed with the meat aroma, permeating the entire Flat Peach Garden.

This scene was broadcast throughout the Three Realms again via livestream.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was watching the livestream at Mount Putuo in the South Sea, had the Jade Vase in her hand make a "crack" sound as she squeezed a crack into it.

"That is... the nine-thousand-year purple-patterned Flat Peach! A Mortal can live forever after one bite! He... he is actually using it to wrap meat? And even feeding it to a pig?!"

Many experts hiding in their Immortal Cave, watching that pig Fugui eating with its mouth full of oil, even disdainfully throwing away a piece of half-eaten Flat Peach, were so jealous that their eyes turned red, wishing they could rush over and replace the pig.

"Waste! This is simply a waste!"

"Heaven has no eyes! Why can such a bully occupy the Flat Peach Garden? I've practiced for ten thousand years and haven't even smelled it!"

Regardless of how the outside world cursed, the Flat Peach Garden was filled with laughter and a happy atmosphere.

Lin Feng took a bite of the grilled Flat Peach wrapped in meat, feeling the massive Spiritual Qi explode in his body, then turning into experience points and being frantically absorbed by the System.

[Ding! Host consumed top-tier Flat Peach, gained 10 million experience points.]

[Ding! Host performed an extremely 'flexing' behavior, gained 5 million reputation points.]

Lin Feng burped contentedly and wiped the oil off his mouth.

"This is life."

He looked into the distance, where the direction of the Underworld and the Four Seas Dragon Palace lay.

"The Heavenly Court is taken, and my stomach is full. Next, it's time to collect some 'protection fees'."

"After all, I'm not a demon; I just want to bring warmth and order to the Three Realms. I think the Yama King and the Dragon King should welcome me, right?"
