Seeing the senior sister coming out, Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh. This was the fifteenth disciple of Gold Sword Zen Ren, Yu Wen Qiao, and also the master of Jin Qiao Peak where his first cave mansion was located when he just joined the Golden Sword Peak.
Subsequently, Wang Tian Sheng distributed some tasks, including making floral garlands, managing gift money from guests, and decorating the entire Golden Sword lineage mountain peak…
Then, he looked at Lin Yi, saluted and said: “Junior Brother Lin, your culinary skills are so superb that even the Guardian Beast from Dan God Secret Realm couldn’t resist the temptation. I’d like you to take care of the banquet for the Golden Sword Peak guests. Soon, I will also pass on to you the list of those in our lineage who are respected for their culinary skills. You can assign tasks to them at will.”
Lin Yi returned the salute and said with a smile: “Elder Brother Wang, leave this to me. I promise to make the banquet aroma spread for miles and make the guests never want to leave.”
At Lin Yi’s words, everyone couldn’t help but laugh and tease, “Junior Brother Lin, we can’t afford them if they don’t want to leave after eating.”
After assigning all the tasks, Wang Tian Sheng saluted everyone once again, “If you have any problems in the following preparations, you can find me at any time. I’m counting on everyone to make the wedding between our eldest brother and second sister a grand success.”
Everyone also returned the salute and then left the Golden Sword Hall on their own.
Lin Yi was given a list of personnel by Wang Tian Sheng, all of whom had decent cooking skills.
As the Dan God Secret Realm opened last time and made a great emphasis on creating meals for the Guardian Beast to access precious spiritual grass, the Golden Sword Lineage Affairs Hall issued a call for disciples with cooking experience.
The purpose was to select suitable disciples for Lin Yi’s training and preparation to enter the secret realm.
The number of registrants reached over a hundred, but in the end, only two were selected. To enter the Seecret Realm, simply having excellent culinary skills wouldn’t be enough—those in the initial and middle stages of Qi Refining might get lost before reaching the Misty Forest Gorge.
Therefore, cooking skills were merely one condition. No matter how good the food is, without sufficient power, one wouldn’t be able to reach the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden.
Subsequently, the Golden Sword Lineage Affairs Hall issued an order gathering all disciples and announced that Hall Master Wang Tian Sheng would take charge of the wedding preparations for Zhou Yun Feng and Qi Jing Yu. They also posted the list of those in charge of various parts of the wedding, instructing all Golden Sword lineage disciples to assist unconditionally to make the wedding perfect.
All the disciples naturally wouldn’t, and couldn’t, resist this order. After all, this wedding was extremely important— anyone who did not cooperate would no longer be welcome in the Golden Sword Peak.
Those in charge of each part began selecting suitable personnel to carry out their tasks when the disciples gathered.
Lin Yi brought all hundred people on the list to his Cave Mansion and began to test their cooking skills.
The wedding of Zhou Yun Feng and Qi Jing Yu was no longer just a joyous occasion for Golden Sword Peak, but also for the whole Liu Yun Sect. Although only a small number of disciples would be attending the banquet on Golden Sword Peak, there would not be a small number of guests including those from other Sects.
He had to ensure the quality of the food at every banquet table. If the meals faltered in quality it would harm the dignity of the Golden Sword lineage.
He was only responsible for the banquet at the Golden Sword Peak, other banquets at the Golden Core Peaks were handled by their respective people.
After all, managing the banquet for Golden Sword Peak’s thousand or so disciples and some guests was manageable, but the entire Liu Yun Sect had tens of thousands of disciples, he would not be able to handle the meals for so many people while ensuring quality.
After a simple test, Lin Yi selected thirty people from the hundred and added them to his team, beginning to instruct them on how to prepare the dishes for the banquet.
Based on each person’s culinary strengths, he assigned dishes for them to practice rather than practicing all the dishes from the banquet.
The female disciple from Jade Illusion Peak who had previously entered the Secret Realm and successfully obtained a stalk of precious spiritual grass, also joined Lin Yi’s team with a few other sisters, intending to repay the debt of gratitude from his previous teachings.
Lin Yi also conducted a simple test on the sisters of this female disciple. After all, he was the banquet host and had to take full responsibility. There was absolutely no room for carelessness.
The female disciples from Jade Illusion Peak were excellent at cooking and they joined the team to practice.
In his life before, Lin Yi had been to many grand hotels and popular restaurants, traveled through the southern and northern parts of the country, and tasted plenty of gourmet food.
Thus, for this banquet, he included what he considered the most delicious food and made improvements according to the cultivators’ taste.
Cultivators learned very quickly and all of these disciples had a considerable amount of cooking experience. Therefore, within a short period, they were able to meet and even exceed Lin Yi’s standards for the banquet dishes.
Ten days before the wedding, Lin Yi’s banquet team started preparing the ingredients according to the number of guests expected to attend at Golden Sword Peak.
All expenses for the wedding were managed by the Affairs Hall. After they were given the list of necessities, they very quickly brought the items needed.
At this point, Golden Sword Lineage was already a sea of celebration. Every mountain peak was decorated anew and the festive red colors could be seen everywhere. This brought smiles to the faces of all the disciples on Golden Sword Peak.
Gold Sword Zen Ren sent out wedding invitations early to the Righteous Sects among the Ten Major Sects. For smaller sects, the Affairs Hall of Golden Sword Peak sent out written invitations. These were given to the sects that had good relations with the Liu Yun Sect or were its vassals.
Now, some guests had already arrived in the Liu Yun Sect territory and were arranged to stay on nearby mountain peaks. They would then go to Golden Sword Peak to attend the banquet on the wedding day.
As for the Heretic Sects, naturally, they would not receive invitations, and they wouldn’t have the audacity to come.
Quickly, the day of the wedding arrived. Lin Yi and dozens of disciples got up early in the morning to start preparing the dishes. Some were pre-prepared dishes that only required simple processing before serving. However, some fresh dishes needed to be made on the day. These were not anything to worry about for the cultivators, and under Lin Yi’s arrangements, everything was well organized.
Guests from various sects also arrived at Golden Sword Peak from other places. They brought forth their gifts at the entrance of the Ferry Platform. Some sects offered spirit stones, others gave spiritual artifacts. These weren’t particularly valuable gifts, but they were still tokens of goodwill.
Under Gold Sword Zen Ren’s personal invitation, the remaining five Major Righteous Sects sent Golden Core Real People to attend the wedding.
Even the Sky Sword Sect, which had some competition with Golden Sword Peak, also sent a Golden Core Real Person who had a good relationship with Gold Sword Zen Ren.
This banquet was split into inside and outside areas. The inner area was in the Golden Sword Hall and the outer area was at Golden Sword Plaza.
Golden Core Real People and foundation building disciples from each peak sat at the inner table, while ordinary disciples of Golden Sword Lineage sat at the outer tables.
Gold Sword Zen Ren and some direct disciples also stood on the plaza, welcoming the arriving Golden Core Real People. Besides guests from other sects, Golden Core Real People from all peaks of Liu Yun sect, also arrived on Golden Sword Peak, one after another.
When Jade Illusion Zen Ren from Jade Illusion Peak arrived at Golden Sword Peak, it caused quite a stir. Even though her aura was concealed, her beautiful and stunning appearance still aroused the hearts of the cultivators.
Green Jade Zen Ren made the final arrival, prompting all the disciples to greet the Sect Master with respect.
Just as the wedding was about to begin, a huge Green Jade Treasure Mirror floated in the sky above Liu Yun Sect. It displayed the lively scene at Golden Sword Peak so that everyone inside Liu Yun Sect, even including the outer sect and Qing Yun City, could clearly see. It was exactly like a live broadcast.
