I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

Lin Che paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below the stage, a smile playing on his lips, his voice rising slightly:

"The banquet shall officially begin!"

As soon as the words were spoken, musicians who had been waiting on both sides of the square began to play melodious music.

The harmonious sounds of the zither and flute, the melodious and gentle tones, like flowing water or a mountain breeze, instantly brought the atmosphere of the entire square to a climax.

At the same time, dishes of spiritual food began to be served on the long table.

The aroma filled the air, instantly permeating the entire square.

These spiritual dishes are the result of Lin Xuanqi's dedicated research over this period of time.

The purpose was to showcase all the various spirit beasts raised by the Lin family on this occasion.

From spirit birds to spirit fish, every dish is carefully prepared to highlight the original flavor of the ingredients while preserving their efficacy to the greatest extent.

The first dish served was a clear stewed duck soup from Yunmengze.

The broth was clear as water, with a few pieces of duck meat floating in it, garnished with a few pieces of bright green vegetables. It was extremely simple, yet the aroma was irresistible.

The aroma was neither strong nor overpowering, yet it subtly permeated the nose, making one unable to resist taking a deep breath.

Next up was braised pork belly with the spirit of the earth mother.

With its reddish-brown color and glossy sheen, rich sauce, and each piece of meat stewed until tender and flavorful, it trembles slightly at the slightest touch, making it incredibly tempting.

Next up is steamed golden-scaled red-eyed trout.

The whole fish lies on the plate, covered with finely shredded ginger and scallions, and drizzled with a clear sauce.

The fish has clear eyes and golden scales that gleam faintly in the sunlight, making it look extremely appealing.

There's also stir-fried jade prawns, jade rabbit stew, and Solomon's seal and golden-feathered chicken soup...

One after another, the spiritual dishes were served, each one a feast for the eyes and the palate.

Of course, spirit wine is absolutely indispensable on such occasions.

Without the Lin family even having to ask, the Wang family proactively sent over a batch of their finest spirit wine the moment the news of the banquet was released.

Lin Che still had a good impression of the Wang family.

When he first arrived and was not yet settled, the Wang family took the initiative to seek refuge with him and became an appendage of the Lin family.

Over the years, the Wang family has worked diligently and conscientiously, never harboring any disloyalty.

Now that the Lin family is short of people, Lin Che has handed over the management of the Spirit Herb Valley to the Wang family.

The Spirit Herb Valley has two spiritual veins; the superior one continues to be used for cultivating spiritual herbs.

He handed over that second-tier low-grade spiritual vein directly to the Wang family.

Over the years, the Wang family has worked for the Lin family and accumulated a considerable amount of spirit stones. Several Foundation Establishment cultivators have already emerged from the clan.

Now, with this second-tier spiritual vein, they will truly be qualified to become a Foundation Establishment family within the Chuyang City territory.

This is Lin Che's way of repaying the Wang family, and also his recognition of their status.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the exchange of toasts, laughter and cheerful conversation gradually arose.

The Lin family's Golden Elixir Banquet has officially begun.

……

At the front row of long tables, Sun Zhiyuan picked up a piece of braised Earth Mother Spirit Pig meat, examined it from left to right, but did not rush to eat it. Instead, he put it on his plate.

He glanced sideways at Zhou Wanhong beside him, chuckled, and spoke with a hint of teasing:

"Fatty Zhou, stop just eating! Come on, give your opinion: which is better, this spiritual cuisine or the one prepared by your Zhou family's chef?"

His voice was quite loud, attracting the attention of people at several nearby tables, who looked over with a hint of anticipation.

After all, everyone in Chuyang City knows that the Zhou family's greatest expertise lies in beast taming and spiritual cuisine.

Since the Sun family settled in Chuyang City before the Zhou family, they naturally became involved in some spiritual food industries.

As a result, once the Zhou family arrived, the Sun family was utterly routed and suffered repeated defeats.

Apart from the Lin family, almost no other family has dared to touch this path in recent years.

Sun Zhiyuan was still a little upset about this.

Zhou Wanhong didn't even look up. He picked up the fattest part of the golden-scaled, red-eyed trout in front of him with his chopsticks, examining it slowly and deliberately, his tone flat:

"The ingredients are top-notch, the color is excellent, and the aroma is irresistible. I know it must be delicious without even tasting it."

His words were perfectly tactful, praising the Lin family's spiritual cuisine without belittling his own family's spiritual chef.

Sun Zhiyuan wanted to see him make a fool of himself? No way.

Even so, he was still very curious about the taste of the spirit fish.

Within the territory of Chuyang City, only Shattered Star Lake is suitable for large-scale breeding of spirit fish.

This is a business that the Zhou family has never been involved in before.

Since the Lin family will be using the Zhou family's channels to sell spirit fish in the future, he, as the head of the Zhou family, must carefully examine them.

The fish belly melts in your mouth.

A unique flavor instantly lingers on the tip of the tongue.

The flavor is sweet and delicious, the meat is tender and melts in your mouth.

What's most peculiar is that its sweetness is accompanied by a subtle, almost imperceptible mellowness, as if it were refreshed by mountain spring water.

Immediately afterwards, a gentle force began to flow down the throat and into the body, slowly seeping into the internal organs.

Zhou Wanhong felt the restlessness caused by worry in his heart being slowly soothed by this force.

I felt completely relaxed, as if I were soaking in a hot spring, feeling comfortable all over.

Good fish!

He secretly admired it in his heart.

The taste of this spirit fish was even better than he had expected.

It not only possesses a pure spiritual essence, but also has the effect of nourishing the internal organs and calming the heart fire.

He immediately had a clear assessment of the taste and effects of this spirit fish.

Once they understand this spirit fish, they will surely use the Zhou family's connections to make it famous throughout all the restaurants in Chuyang City.

At the same time, he couldn't help but reconsider the suggestion that Liu Yunzhou had just made.

They also bought a batch of fish fry, raised another batch, and made a profit.

After all, the Zhou family's specialty is raising spirit beasts.

Although this spirit fish is different from their traditional spirit birds, the principle is the same.

In that case, they might even be able to make a fortune by taking advantage of the Lin family's influence.

He was pondering something in his mind, but his face remained expressionless as he continued to savor the fish in his mouth.

Seeing that Zhou Wanhong, that old fox, didn't respond, Sun Zhiyuan curled his lips in boredom.

He wasn't annoyed; his gaze returned to the reddish-brown braised Earth Mother Spirit Pig meat in front of him.

The meat was cut into neat squares, with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, and the sauce was rich and flavorful, glistening enticingly in the sunlight.

A rich, meaty aroma wafted to his nose, making his mouth water.

He couldn't resist picking up the piece from his plate and taking a big bite.

With each chew, the rich, yet not greasy, aroma of the meat explodes in your mouth.

The meat was stewed to perfection, tender and flavorful, yet retaining just the right amount of chewiness.

With each bite, rich meat juices burst on the tongue, making it irresistible.

Sun Zhiyuan's eyes widened immediately after realizing what he had just realized.

"This is different from the braised meat sold at Baiweizhai!"

Before he could even finish savoring it.

A surge of pure Earth elemental energy suddenly welled up from his abdomen and began to flow slowly through his body!

The spiritual energy was profound yet gentle, and wherever it passed, it seemed as if an invisible force was nourishing his muscles and skin.

Immediately afterwards, a faint aura of Earth appeared around him.

"This is?"

Sun Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment.

He felt the power flowing slowly within his body, and felt the slight tingling sensation in his muscles and skin where that power passed.

That's a sign that the body is slowly growing!

He had been cultivating his physique for many years and had long since reached a bottleneck. No matter how much he tried to refine it, he made no progress whatsoever.

But now, this mere piece of meat has actually increased his physique?

Although it's only a tiny bit, it is indeed growing!

"This...this meat..."
