Once the speeches were done, the banquet formally started. A gathering like this was rare, something that might happen only once every few hundred years, so everyone was excited and looking forward to it.
Zither artists played a soft, humming tune in the background. They were the best in the North, brought specially for this occasion. Even a single session from them was something a normal Cultivator couldn't afford in a lifetime.
People began to mingle with each other, which was really the best part of this banquet. Even if they came for Ye Jun, they had other major things to do as well.
There were also many people who immediately attacked the delicacies. Spirit beast meat. Millennium spiritual fruits. Immortal wine that boosted cultivation. Tea brewed from enlightenment leaves.
There was so much that one would get confused about where to start, and all of this was quite attractive to the younger generation, who could reap the greatest benefits.
