The hall expanded, the living wood of the Heart Tree reshaping itself to accommodate the gathering. Long tables formed, smooth and polished, their surfaces adorned with intricate patterns that seemed to glow faintly with natural energy.
Dishes began to appear.
Thousands of them.
The variety was staggering.
There were roasted meats infused with spiritual and immortal herbs, their aroma rich and inviting. Tender cuts of beast flesh that had been marinated in rare spices and herbs, cooked to perfection until they practically melted upon touch.
There were stews that shimmered with energy, their broths thick with nourishment, carrying both flavor and cultivation benefits. Each spoonful released warmth that spread through the body, replenishing energy and strengthening vitality.
