Chapter 1563 - 1560: The Feast at Hongmen Gate
Time slipped away like a white horse crossing a crevice.
In an instant, a week had quietly passed by.
During this week, Xu Wendong’s life was full and colorful.
He often immersed himself in the wondrous realm of Dual Cultivation with Si Yao, Lu Shuling, Xue Yan, Song Ziwei, and others.
On the long path of Cultivation, they supported each other, working together to explore higher realms.
Each Dual Cultivation session seemed to place them in a mysterious domain, where their powers continued to elevate through mutual integration, and their resolve to pursue higher realms grew stronger.
In the remaining time, Xu Wendong would lead the people from Lingyan Pavilion to the vast Spiritual Fields at the foot of the mountain.
This Spiritual Field seemed like a treasure land brimming with endless mysteries, with soil exuding a unique and rich Spiritual Energy.
However, it was not traditionally the season for spring planting, but this was not a problem at all for Xu Wendong, who had already mastered the mysterious and powerful Wood Element Path.
Even if the seeds of Spirit Rice and herbs initially lacked Life Force, Xu Wendong could use the magical power of the Wood Element Path to imbue them with burgeoning life.
He stood leisurely in the Spiritual Fields, raising his hands gently, as a cluster of emerald light slowly emerged from his palms.
The light was dazzling, full of endless vitality and energy, as if it was the Source of life.
Guided silently by his mind, this light, like a spirited elf, slowly merged into the seeds of Spirit Rice and herbs.
In an instant, those once dim and lifeless seeds seemed to be infused with a lively Soul, beginning to tremble slightly and exuding a faint but hopeful aura.
Under Xu Wendong’s guidance, everyone worked together diligently. They carefully planted each seed into the fertile soil.
They knew well that these seeds carried their hopes and future, with every action embodying their vision for a beautiful life.
After a week of hard work, the scene at the foot of Lingyan Pavilion’s mountain had undergone an astounding transformation.
The once desolate Spiritual Fields had become a vibrant sea of green.
Delicate seedlings of Spirit Rice timidly poked their heads from the soil, swaying gently in the breeze, as if showcasing their tenacity and unyielding vitality to the world.
The various herbs also thrived beamingly, some sprouting tender green leaves, glistening like jade under the sunlight.
Some had even bloomed delicate and exquisite flowers, exuding a light fragrance infused with rich Spiritual Energy, soothing the soul, as if nourishing the Soul itself.
The entire Spiritual Field had transformed into a mysterious and enchanting garden, brimming with endless vitality and hope, becoming a stunning and intoxicating sight in the Penglai Fairy Island Minor World.
That noon, Wang Tong piloted the Magical Treasure and gently landed in the Spiritual Fields under Lingyan Pavilion.
He bowed deeply with respect and said politely, "Young Master Xu, the wounds of the townspeople have now all healed, and everyone has started a brand-new life."
"Every one of them holds your life-saving grace in their hearts, deeply grateful."
"Therefore, they have specially organized a gratitude banquet, sincerely hoping you can attend tonight."
"Alright!" Upon hearing about the gratitude banquet, Xu Wendong accepted without even thinking, a gentle smile naturally appearing on his face.
He knew that Liu Yuansong and the others wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate him.
And he also wanted to use this opportunity to test his own strength.
Wang Tong smiled and said, "Alright, we look forward to your esteemed presence tonight." He then piloted the Magical Treasure and quickly left the Spiritual Fields under Lingyan Pavilion.

The sun slanted westward, with the fiery sun hanging in the sky like a giant Bright Pearl, dyeing the heavens in a splendid, dreamlike orange-red, like a majestic painting unfolding between heaven and earth.
Xu Wendong, accompanied by his close friends, arrived at the village hosting the banquet.
The place was decorated with lights and festivity, filled with a joyous atmosphere.
The townspeople had already gathered here, eagerly awaiting.
Upon seeing Xu Wendong and his companions arrive, everyone warmly applauded and welcomed them, their faces radiant with genuine and passionate smiles and heartfelt gratitude.
To the townspeople, being able to have a meal so peacefully in such a beautiful sunset glow was like a dream come true.
After all, they had always lived in the Underground City, venturing out briefly during the day, but hurrying back before dusk, never having such a leisurely time.
Moreover, the appearance of these townspeople had undergone a dramatic change over the days.
Not only had their wounds completely healed, but each person’s complexion was rosy and healthy.
This complexion had not appeared on them before.
Because they had lived in the dark Underground City for years, giving them a sickly hue.
"Young Master Xu, please take the seat of honor!"
Liu Yuansong enthusiastically invited Xu Wendong to the main table of the banquet.
The table was laden with exquisite dishes, with aromas wafting over and making mouths water.
Golden crispy roasted Spiritual Bird Meat, exuding tempting aromas, as if telling its deliciousness.
Freshly picked Spirit Fruits, vividly colorful, succulent as resplendent gems.
And various delicacies made with Spirit Rice, each dish infused with rich Spiritual Energy, like gifts from nature.
After Xu Wendong and his companions took their seats, the banquet officially commenced.
The townspeople raised their glasses, expressing their deep gratitude to Xu Wendong, the atmosphere warm and lively, filled with laughter and joy, with everyone immersed in the warm and pleasant ambiance.
Xu Wendong accepted all, drinking with everyone, enjoying this rare relaxation and leisure, reminiscent of a grand feast on Earth.
In the blink of an eye, the night deepened.
Many townspeople gradually returned to their homes.
Seeing the time was ripe.
Liu Yuansong burped and, smiling, asked, "Young Master Xu, there’s something this old man is very curious about, could you enlighten me?"
Xu Wendong, full of politeness, replied, "Senior Liu, please feel free to ask."
Liu Yuansong couldn’t help but ask, "I want to know, what exactly is your Space Spiritual Treasure? Could you let us take a look?" His eyes revealing an unmistakable greed.
