Courtyard House: The Cultivation System Takes Me Flying

After the Daoist heart returned to its true nature, the years in Chang'an became increasingly gentle and mild, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth blended more and more mellowly with the warmth of home. On this night, the Milky Way was exceptionally bright, the surface of the Spirit Stream was like a mirror, embracing all the starlight in its embrace, and the moonlight, like water, flowed over the pavilions and towers, sprinkling on every spiritual herb and every drifting cloud, creating a scene as beautiful as a fairyland painting.

Looking at this beautiful scene, Qin Lintian was moved and decided to hold a Moonlit Lingxi Banquet on the banks of Lingxi, inviting his family, all the spirits, and all the spiritual beings to enjoy the moon, eat, listen to music, and share their feelings, so that this beauty of reunion could be etched into every eternal moment.

The message spread softly through spirit language, instantly adding a touch of joy and liveliness to the homestead. He Yuzhu was the most enthusiastic, immediately plunging into the Spirit Food Pavilion to meticulously prepare a moonlit feast using spirit grains from the Abundant Harvest Spirit Granary, spirit fruits from the Primordial Spirit Realm, clear dew from the Morning Dew Spirit Garden, and fresh spirit delicacies from the depths of the Spirit Stream. One exquisite spirit dish after another was served: Moonlight Spirit Cake, Star River Dew Drink, Pure Joy Spirit Soup, Symbiotic Spirit Fruit Platter, and Longevity Spirit Porridge. The aroma wafted throughout the garden on the evening breeze, enticing the children to peek out from behind the pot.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi personally decorated the banks of the Spirit Stream, hanging glass lanterns lit by the eternal flame spirits on the spirit trees along the stream. The lamplight, moonlight, and starlight reflected in the Spirit Stream, creating a shimmering, dreamlike scene. The two spirits of morning dew carried small lanterns and moved along the banks, scattering dappled light wherever they went. The spirits of the Spirit Stream gently stirred the water, causing lanterns to float on the surface and drift slowly along the stream, like a galaxy fallen to earth.

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong brought out bamboo tables and chairs, set out exquisite spiritual tea and snacks, and laid out a leisurely seating area under the moonlight; Jia Dongxu transformed the power of unity into a soft light curtain, gently surrounding the banquet, blocking out the evening breeze, leaving only warmth and tranquility; the four children skipped and jumped as they placed spiritual fruits on the table, occasionally secretly picking up a piece of moonlight spiritual cake and stuffing it into their mouths, their lips stained with sugar frosting, their eyes crinkling with laughter.

All the spirits also came to the stream in an orderly fashion. The white jade rhinoceros lay obediently beside the main seat, the spirit deer knelt on the grass, the spirit rabbits and spirit mice curled up at the children's feet, the spirit sparrows and spirit butterflies perched on the lamps, and even the auspicious beasts that had been purified in the mountains and forests quietly came to the edge of the home, quietly appreciating this magnificent scene under the moon.

The gentle breeze and the spirit of the bell arrive on the wind, their fingertips lightly brushing the wind chimes by the stream. The clear, melodious sound of the bells accompanies the melodious tune of the Qingyun zither, flowing slowly under the moon. The spirit of the spirit tree raises its hand and sprinkles specks of blessed light, falling on every living being, making the night of reunion even more peaceful. The spirit of the ever-burning lamp guards the center of the lamp, keeping the light warm and bright, making the moonlit feast even more enchanting.

With everything arranged, everyone took their seats in turn. Qin Lintian sat in the main seat, with Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi beside him. Opposite him were He Yuzhu, Jia Dongxu, and two elders. The children sat around a table, and all the spirits and magical beings were scattered around. Moonlight, lamplight, and starlight intertwined, and the fragrance of incense, tea, and food filled the air. The sounds of bells, zithers, and laughter accompanied the atmosphere. It was truly a scene of family reunion and peaceful times.

"The moonlight is just right today, and Lingxi is like a painting. Our family is reunited, and we can enjoy this scene together. This is the greatest fulfillment in our lives." Qin Lintian raised the Star River Dew in front of him, his voice gentle and clear, which slowly spread under the moonlight. "May our home be forever united, forever peaceful, forever together, and forever joyful."

May you be forever reunited, and forever at peace!

Everyone responded in unison, raised their glasses and drank together. The refreshing dew was sweet and refreshing, and a warm feeling welled up in their hearts.

At the banquet, He Yuzhu's spiritual dishes were highly sought after. The children ate with great relish, and the elders praised them highly. The Morning Dew Spirits added refreshing dew drinks for everyone, and the Spirit Stream Spirit brought spiritual spring water from the stream to soothe their throats. The Breeze Bell Spirit occasionally played a light and cheerful bell sound, adding fun to the banquet. The Spirit Tree Blessing Spirit distributed ripe spiritual fruits to everyone, which were sweet to the taste and brought good fortune. The Everlasting Lamp Spirit kept the light soft and warm, illuminating every happy face.

After the children had eaten and drunk their fill, they chased and played with the Morning Dew Spirit and the Everlasting Lamp Spirit by the stream, running on the water lanterns, their laughter clear and crisp, startling a few spirit butterflies; the White Jade Spirit stood up and gave a soft roar to the bright moon, its peaceful tone causing all the spirits to chirp in response; Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong played chess under the moonlight, their moves leisurely and without the slightest impatience; Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi sat close together, chatting softly, their eyes full of peace; Jia Dongxu stood by his family's side, watching the scene of reunion before him, a gentle smile always on his lips.

Qin Lintian sat quietly at his seat, his gaze slowly sweeping over everything before him: gentle moonlight, family reunion, all spirits at peace, vibrant spiritual energy, babbling brooks, flickering lamplight, the aroma of food filling the air, laughter echoing. There was no clamor or disturbance, no demonic interference, no trace of the passage of time, only the beauty and joy of this moment, only eternal peace and warmth.

This is everything he has tried his best to protect.

This is the most precious appearance of Chang'an throughout the ages.

The zither music gradually softened, and the wind chimes tinkled with the babbling brook, like the most beautiful lullaby in the world. The moonlight grew even gentler, bathing everyone in warmth. Several elders gradually closed their eyes to rest, their expressions serene; the children, tired from playing, nestled beside Wanling and fell into a deep sleep, their little faces still bearing satisfied smiles; Qin Huairu leaned on Qin Lintian's shoulder, gazing at the starry sky and the moonlit stream, her heart filled with relief and tenderness.

Qin Lintian raised his hand and gently waved it. The power of unity transformed into a soft blanket of light, gently wrapping the sleeping children and elders. All the spirits obediently surrounded them, acting as the most loyal guardians. The spirits quietly put away their lamps, but left behind a sky full of soft light, making the moonlit stream still warm and picturesque. The spirits of the stream slowed their flow and stopped making a sound, leaving only tranquility and peace.

As night deepened, the moonlight shone like water.

After the banquet at Lingxi, the reunion continues.

This moonlit feast at Lingxi was without grand pomp or spectacular phenomena, yet it became the warmest, most profound, and most fulfilling memory in the long history of Chang'an. It is etched in the soul of every family member, imprinted in the consciousness of every spirit, and blended into every breath of spiritual energy, becoming an eternal and unchanging symbol of reunion.

After dawn, time continues as usual, and tranquility endures forever.

But this beautiful scene of reunion under the moon will accompany Chang'an for eternity, until the ends of the earth.

Lingxi Moon Banquet: A time for family reunion.

A stream full of moonlight brings joy; may families be reunited and live in peace for generations to come.

Family bonds endure, and the long years of Chang'an are everlasting.
