Xiwangmu guards the Pantao in her celestial orchard, dispensing them only at the legendary Peach Banquet held once every three thousand years.
Dongfang Shuo stole three of Xiwangmu's Pantao peaches on three separate occasions, each theft granting him thousands of years of life and earning him legendary status as a trickster-immortal at the Han court.
