In the hall.
No one would have thought that this slovenly and sloppy old Daoist had actually saved Qiao 'er's life.
Such kindness was truly enviable.
Qiao 'er was a disciple of the Longevity Pavilion.
Moreover, she was doted on so much by Granny Golden Flower and Senior Li Xin.
To be able to receive such a huge favor from the Longevity Pavilion was much better than any immortal pill or miraculous medicine.
In the future, if this old Daoist priest had any difficulties in the future and asked the Longevity Pavilion for help, the pavilion would definitely not refuse.
How could this not be enviable?
Not to mention the mortal immortals present, even Mo Baiyu, Yun Zhou, Yuanwu, and Fu Ying, who were immortals who had received the immortal edicts, were envious.
They were all admirers of Immortal Qingqing. Otherwise, they would not have chased her all the way here from the distant Heavenly Region.
They also knew that Qiao 'er was not only doted on by Granny Golden Flower and Senior Li Xin, but she was also Immortal Qingqing's favorite junior sister.
If they could win Qiao 'er's favor, they would have more hope to pursue Immortal Qingqing in the future.
Moreover, this was only to gain Qiao 'er's favor. If Qiao' er had a life-saving grace, Exalted Immortal Qing Qing would definitely be endlessly grateful. With such a huge favor, would he still be afraid that he wouldn't be able to woo Exalted Immortal Qing Qing?
It was not that Mo Baiyu and the others had never thought of starting with Qiao 'er, but unfortunately, they had never had the chance. Not to mention saving Qiao' er, they could not even win her favor.
Yet, such a good thing fell on the head of a slovenly old Daoist priest.
They were really envious.
Other than envy, Mo Baiyu and the others only felt regret. They regretted that they did not go to the Swallow Castle secret realm back then. They regretted that the person who saved Qiao 'er was not them.
"Brother Baiyu, that old Daoist priest … He seems to be from your ship, right?"
Yun Zhou frowned and stared at the old Daoist priest as if he was very puzzled.
Mo Baiyu nodded and replied, "That's right."
"Who is he?"
Mo Baiyu shook his head. He did not know who this old Daoist priest was.
"This old Daoist priest looks very mysterious. The spiritual aura on his body is very chaotic. There's both human and immortal aura. He looks like an immortal, but also like a human …"
It was common knowledge.
Once the mortals in the mortal world became immortals, their physical bodies would be reborn and sublimated. After sublimation, their physical bodies would no longer be made of flesh and blood, but would become immortal bodies.
However …
Because the soul was still the soul of a human, even if one were to ascend to immortality, there would still be a sliver of human aura left in their body, but it would only be minuscule.
On the other hand, the old Daoist's human aura was very dense. What was strange was that not only was his human aura very dense, his immortal aura was also very dense. What was even more strange was that the old Daoist's human aura and immortal aura seemed to have fused together. There was immortal aura in his human aura and human aura in his immortal aura. Human aura was not human aura and immortal aura was not immortal aura.
Just because they couldn't figure it out didn't mean that others couldn't.
At the very least, Granny Jin Hua and Senior Li Xin knew what kind of being Huo De was.
After all, they were disciples of the Longevity Pavilion of the 72 Blessed Lands. The things that they came into contact with and understood were not things that Mo Baiyu and the others could compare to.
Whether it was Granny Jin Hua or Senior Li Xin, they knew that there had always been a special existence in the universe since ancient times.
This existence was a cultivator who pursued the great path.
Speaking of Daoist priests, one had to trace back to before the ancient times. At that time, the great path was still a pure great path. There were no immortals, devils, Buddhas, humans, demons, and ghosts. Cultivators cultivated the path and walked the path. Therefore, they were also known as Daoist priests.
However, later on, with the birth of the 3,000 great paths, immortals cultivated the immortal path, devils cultivated the devil path, and ghosts cultivated the ghost path. As for Daoist priests who pursued the great path, they gradually declined, and many great path divine abilities were lost.
Nevertheless, Granny Jin Hua and Senior Li Xin did not underestimate Daoist priests because of this. Not only did they not underestimate them, but they had always respected Daoist priests.
Perhaps the others did not know.
As disciples of the Longevity Pavilion, they knew very well that many famous divine abilities of the immortal path were created by Daoist priests before the ancient times. Those so-called immortal techniques were also derived from ancient Daoist techniques.
Was that all?
No.
This was because the ancestors of the 36 grotto-heavens and 72 blessed lands were all cultivators back then, including Patriarch Chang Sheng of the Longevity Pavilion. He was also a Daoist priest back then.
It was just that to this day, whether it was the 36 grotto-heavens or the 72 blessed lands, they were all passed down from the ancient times, the ancient times, and the ancient times. The end of each era was a catastrophe for the great path of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, it was not easy for the 36 grotto-heavens and 72 blessed lands to be passed down. They had also gone through several storms, spring and autumn, life and death, and reincarnation.
As the times changed, the great path changed, and the situation of Heaven and Earth changed, the 36 grotto-heavens and 72 blessed lands had no choice but to go with the flow in order to survive and pass down their legacies.
Of course.
In this universe, there were still cultivators who had passed down their legacies.
Nonetheless, most of these so-called cultivators were not too orthodox. Among them, there were even Daoist priests who swindled others.
Perhaps there were also orthodox Daoist priests who had truly passed down their legacies since ancient times, but they were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
When they saw Huo De, other than being grateful to Huo De for saving Qiao 'er back then, Granny Jin Hua and Li Xin were also shocked that Huo De was a Daoist priest. Moreover, they could tell that Huo De was not the kind of Daoist priest who swindled others. It was very likely that he was a very orthodox Daoist priest.
In particular, Huo De's body was like an immortal yet not an immortal, like a human yet not a human. It was like the intersection of Yin and Yang, like the primordial chaos of Taiji. It was exactly the same as what was recorded in the ancient books.
Therefore.
When they saw Huo De, Granny Jin Hua and Li Xin were in disbelief.
In the sky, everyone was also discussing animatedly.
Some were envious, some were jealous, and some were curious. They were curious about what kind of existence Huo De, a Daoist priest, was.
While everyone was discussing, many people would glance at the white-clothed man sitting opposite Huo De from time to time.
Just now, when Granny Jin Hua, Li Xin, and Qiao 'er appeared on the ship, almost all the people on the deck stood up without exception. Some were even afraid that they would get in the way, so they directly left the deck and stood in the air.
After all, Granny Jin Hua and Li Xin were seniors of the Changsheng Pavilion. Their statuses were noble, and they were like gods in the eyes of these mortal immortals.
They thought that their statuses were lowly, so they did not even have the guts to greet Granny Jin Hua and Li Xin. They could only stand up or leave the deck to show their respect for the Changsheng Pavilion.
Everyone looked at the entire ship. Only one person was still sitting on the chair.
It was a young man dressed in white. The man's long hair was casually draped over his shoulders. His appearance could not be considered handsome, and it could be said that he was not handsome at all. He was the kind of ordinary person that could not be found in a crowd. In fact, he could not be more ordinary.
His appearance was the same, and so was his person.
He had no temperament, no power, no cultivation, and no fortune.
In a way, he did not have anything that he wanted.
Nevertheless, it was this secular mortal who did not have anything. When Granny Jin Hua and Li Xin arrived on the deck, not only did he not get up and leave like the others, but he was still sitting on the chair.
To be precise, he was not sitting on the chair at all. Instead, he was lying on the chair and even crossed his legs on the table. He was leisurely drinking wine while looking at Senior Li and Granny Jin Hua as if he was watching a show.
