At noon one day in November of the year 3219 of the Great Tang Calendar, Liu Changxu hosted a banquet at his Guest Lodge, inviting his master and his master's wife, who were in Cape City, along with his fellow disciples and friends.

Besides the spirit cuisine, Liu Changxu also provided Golden Nectar, a third-tier supreme-grade spirit wine, and third-tier supreme-grade Dragon-Blood Spirit Rice.
As noon approached, Liu Changxu's fellow disciples and friends-Wu Kun, Lin Feiyang, Yao Changhe, Zhang Jiuzhen, Hu Yang, and the others-arrived one after another. His master Su Hao, his master's wife Jiang Yuqing, his younger senior sister Su Jinxiu, and his senior sister Qin Yulian arrived last.
When Liu Changxu invited everyone into the Ruyi Lotus Palace's grand dining hall, they were all stunned by the spirit cuisine laid out on the jade table.
Once the banquet began, the cultivators had no time for conversation. They dug into the rare delicacies with hearty mouthfuls.
Wu Kun and Lin Feiyang, in particular, knew very well that their chances of enjoying such
