Chapter 865: First Among Myriad Dao

In the winter days, the small mountain village was quiet with its fields and houses scattered about; the bark of dogs and crowing of roosters mingled with the wisps of smoke from the hamlets, lending the village an added touch of warmth.

"The feast is starting, the feast is starting!"

Children ran from one end of the village to the other, spreading the word that the feast was about to begin, stirring the entire village into lively activity.

"Big Brother Da De and Brother Yu Qing caught a big grey pig, we can start the feast!"

"Time to slaughter the pig, it's time to slaughter the pig!"

The villagers all sprang into action, with pots, pans, ladles, and basins being carried out, along with firewood and fresh water, as households converged on the village's open space!

Li Fan, leading a group of disciples, finally arrived and saw a mountainous long-haired grey pig laid out on the village's communal ground!
