342: Luxurious banquet
A moment later, the group arrived at the Immortal Palace's back garden.
Though called a back garden, it was actually a boundless, vibrant sea of flowers, where billions of immortal flowers and exotic plants grew, colorful and overflowing with Immortal Qi, vying for beauty, like a dream.
There were also countless immortal butterflies and bees lingering within, adding a touch of fantasy and vitality.
To entertain the two maidens, Wu Ning picked many top-grade immortal fruits: Profound Frost Spirit Peaches, Five Elements Spirit Jujubes, Heavenly Crystal Grapes, Star Fruits, Nirvana Vermilion Fruits, and more, totaling dozens of types, all Heaven And Earth Treasure rarely found in the outside world.
There were also the newly ripened Innate Flat Peaches, which were even rarer treasures, impossible to obtain even with billions of immortal crystals.
Just such an immortal fruit feast was absolutely a rare sight in all the Nine Heavens.
Afterward, Wu Ning took out many top-grade immortal brews.
There was Immortal Emperor Brew, made from the blood essence of Immortal Emperor special beings; even an Immortal Emperor could greatly increase their cultivation after drinking it, but it had been aged for many years and had a strong kick.
Below the Immortal Emperor Realm, one cup would knock you out.
Additionally, there was immortal fruit brew suitable for women, which could also increase cultivation, and had various wonderful uses such as beautifying the complexion, healing hidden injuries, and improving Physique Foundation.
Moreover, it was not easily intoxicating and suitable for all ages.
Wu Ning had originally brewed it specifically for his younger sister.
Xiaoxiao enthusiastically greeted Fairy Wind Caiwei and Fairy Snow Wuxia, her own little mouth bulging, eating with great relish.
In contrast, Fairy Wind Caiwei and Fairy Snow Wuxia were much more elegant.
As expected of peerless beauties of their generation, even their eating was so pleasing to the eye; just watching was a pleasure.
Wu Ning also picked up a Flat Peach to taste; his desire for good food had always been something he was unwilling to give up.
Moreover, eating these immortal fruits and immortal foods not only satisfied the desire for taste like Mortal food but also brought a dual wonderful enjoyment from various strange energies flushing through the body and Soul.
The taste within was far beyond what Mortals could imagine.
Not long after, as several maidservants successively entered the back garden, one after another immortal delicacies were presented.
Various immortal vegetables and exotic plants, immortal birds, fish, and Yao Beasts, left Fairy Snow Wuxia and Fairy Wind Caiwei overwhelmed.
Such a luxurious immortal feast, even with their status and position, they had rarely seen.
But in reality, this was also because their cultivation was not high, and the chef's Dao was shallow, so Wu Ning had not yet brought out many even more precious ingredients.
For example, Immortal Emperor and Dao Sovereign level Yao Beast meat, they were not blessed enough to enjoy, and the Immortal Palace's chef was also unable to process it.
"Strange, something seems to be missing..."
Wu Ning chewed on a piece of Dragon tendon, and a flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind, "Eh, how could I have forgotten them..."
Wu Ning slapped his forehead and waved his hand, releasing Xiaoqing and Xiaobai from his Inner World.
When he was in closed-door cultivation to Breakthrough to the Creation Heavenly Sovereign Realm, he had brought them into his Inner World, and they cultivated with him.
Now, more than eighteen thousand years had passed, plus the hundredfold time flow, over one hundred eighty thousand years had passed in the Inner World.
Wu Ning's gaze swept over them, and Xiaobai had actually Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor Middle Stage.
Xiaoqing, however, remained at the Quasi Immortal Emperor Realm; reaching this point from an ordinary green bird seemed to be her limit.
If she didn't have a Heaven-Defying Opportunity, it would be very difficult for her to advance further and certify as an Immortal Emperor.
But this was no problem for Wu Ning at all.
"Master, you finally remembered us!"
Xiaobai saw the light of day again, rushed forward, leaned against Wu Ning, her soft, boneless little hand wrapped around his arm, and she said with a look of resentment.
"Cough cough, didn't I immediately think of you two as soon as I had good things?"
Wu Ning coughed dryly, casually picked up a piece of Dragon meat and stuffed it into her mouth, stopping her from saying more.
The two maidens, who had been in closed-door cultivation for over one hundred eighty thousand years, were immediately attracted by the dazzling array of delicacies before them.
"Wow, so much delicious food!"
Xiaobai swallowed the meat in her mouth, so excited she almost reverted to her original form.
Xiaoqing was also a bit excited; she was truly a foodie.
If it weren't for her concern for her lady-like image, she would have directly pounced on it.
Seeing their appearance, Xiaoxiao felt a small twinge of guilt in her heart; she had been so focused on eating that she had forgotten these two little companions.
What a sin!
But the next second, she threw the guilt to the back of her mind and instead enthusiastically greeted them.
The immortal feast had hundreds of dishes, and each delicacy was substantial; the six of them were at least in the Immortal King Realm, yet they still enjoyed it for a full three days before it concluded.
Subsequently, the maidens immediately returned to their respective immortal palaces to enter closed-door cultivation, to digest the terrifying energy contained within their bodies.
Especially the energy contained in the Innate Flat Peaches, although extremely gentle, it was overwhelmingly vast; even Xiaobai, who was in the Immortal Emperor Middle Stage, needed a lot of time to absorb it.
If Wu Ning hadn't applied a Seal on them, it might have even burst the maidens who were still in the Immortal King Realm.
After they entered closed-door cultivation, Wu Ning thoughtfully applied different time flows to them.
Under a ten thousand-fold time flow, Fairy Snow Wuxia absorbed the energy in her body in less than a month and successfully Breakthrough to Quasi Immortal Emperor.
After coming out of closed-door cultivation, Wu Ning took her on a tour of the Dao Yu Immortal Palace.
The entire Dao Yu Immortal Palace was a massive ancient life star with a diameter of nearly one light-year, with three thousand immortal palaces distributed in the best locations.
The rest of the area could all be called a back garden.
Besides the boundless sea of flowers, there were also medicine gardens and fruit orchards that would make countless people drool, vast primeval forests, endless chains of billions of mountains, Nine Heavens waterfalls like the Milky Way hanging upside down, and expansive immortal lakes with ethereal Immortal Qi.
In addition, there were countless natural wonders, each a dreamlike immortal realm that made one yearn for it.
Even with Quasi Immortal Emperor cultivation, it would take at least several decades to thoroughly experience all of it.
Wu Ning and Fairy Snow Wuxia traveled together for several years, and their relationship had become extremely close, vague and hazy, seemingly just a thin layer of paper away from breaking through.
However, Fairy Snow Wuxia, as a Jade Pool Heavenly Maiden, was not an ordinary maiden; that layer of paper was not so easy to Breakthrough.
Wu Ning knew he couldn't rush things, and seeing that Fairy Wind Caiwei was about to come out of closed-door cultivation, he found a way to make her enter closed-door cultivation.
For the next few years, Wu Ning again took Fairy Wind Caiwei on a tour together.
They went to those wondrous immortal realms that he hadn't visited with Fairy Snow Wuxia.
Wu Ning acutely noticed that Fairy Wind Caiwei had a subtle, almost imperceptible sense of restraint when facing him, completely different from her formerly straightforward and bold personality.
Perhaps the current vast disparity between them made her feel uneasy, somewhat anxious about gains and losses.
In response, Wu Ning boldly took her small hand and led her on tours everywhere, and this hint of restraint quickly vanished without a trace.
While spending time with Fairy Wind Caiwei, Wu Ning also unconsciously became immersed, feeling a sense of being in love.
After several years, their relationship had become intimately close; as long as Wu Ning wished, their relationship could advance at any time.
However, Wu Ning did not intend to so casually 'eat' her.
Unlike his desire for Fairy Snow Wuxia's body, he genuinely had some affection for Fairy Wind Caiwei.
There was plenty of time in the future, and he was not in a hurry.
