Chapter 3584

Huo De Zhenren closed his eyes and sat there quietly. There wasn't much noise in the palace. There were only whispers. Most of them were transmitting their voices through telepathy.

Hong Songzi followed the boy who led the way to the side of a large pillar and sat down. Xiao Hua and the others also sat down on the side under the arrangement of the boy standing by the side. Chang Yu and the others were led by the boy to another part of the palace to sit down.

Xiao Hua sat down and looked around. The cultivators who had opened their eyes slightly nodded their heads. As for the cultivators who were whispering to each other, they continued to whisper about something and ignored Xiao Hua.

Thus, Xiao Hua asked Hong Songzi a few questions and immediately closed his eyes. He slowly comprehended the cultivation method of Scattered Nascent Soul in his mind.

This cultivation method was not only useful for Xuan Songzi, but Xiao Hua also faintly felt that he could benefit a lot from it.

After half an hour, a bell rang. Not far behind Huo De Daoist, a boy with a small hammer hit a fiery red bell that was half a head taller than him.

Along with the sound of the bell, the entire palace became silent. Everyone looked up at Daoist Huo De.

Of course, the instant the boy's hammer landed on the big bell, Huo De Daoist opened his eyes. Two scorching flames flashed out from Huo De Daoist's eyes, and then they turned into sparks and disappeared. Huo De Daoist's one red and one black eyes slightly turned, and he looked at all the cultivators in the hall. When his gaze landed on Xiao Hua, an indescribable scorching heat came from Xiao Hua's skin, as if Huo De Daoist's eyes were releasing true fire.

"Fellow Daoists, please …" Daoist Huo De withdrew his gaze and his eyes returned to their original pitch black color. He immediately raised his hand and cupped his fist: "Thank you for thinking so highly of this old man. After receiving the invitation, you all came to this old man's place for a banquet."

"Thank you, Daoist Huo De, for giving us this banquet!" The cultivators said in unison. Their voices caused the candles in the palace to rapidly flicker.

Daoist Huo De laughed and clapped his hands: "Every time I hear the voices of so many Fellow Daoists, this old man is happy from the bottom of my heart. The rise of my dao sect is on the shoulders of all of you Fellow Daoists, the fire seed of my dao sect is also in your hearts!

Come, bring wine to all of you Fellow Daoists … "

Following Huo De Zhenren's command, the jade table in front of everyone flashed with a lotus-like flame. Within the flame, a sapling raised its head. In just a moment, the sapling grew more than two feet above the jade table. At this moment, a strong wind blew through the entire hall. The sapling swayed in the wind. Every time it swayed, a branch would grow out from the sapling. In just a moment, the sapling had turned into several branches, and on each branch was a fist-sized bud that was about to bloom.

"Fellow Daoists, this is my Li Fire Fruit, a specialty of the Li Fire Nation. There is also Dry Fire Wine. Please have a taste …" Following Daoist Huo De's voice, the flower buds slowly opened to reveal fiery red fruits the size of dates and jade pots the size of fists …

Looking at the dates in front of him, Xiao Hua was slightly absent-minded. His gaze was also somewhat wandering. Yes, the last time he participated in the Nascent Soul wine party, it was in Hao Ming City. That was the wine party of the three elders of the Ardent Fire Mountain. The three of them looked very ugly and their behavior was especially protective. Thinking about how the three elders forced him that day and Xue Xue's loyalty, and then thinking about how the three elders of the Ardent Fire Mountain and Xue Xue were no longer in this world after more than a hundred years, Xiao Hua's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Daoist Huo De's voice was slightly boastful. Not only because he was able to hold such a banquet in this temporary cave, but also because there were only a handful of Nascent Soul cultivators below the level of Confucian on the Hidden Immortal Continent. Not to mention, these spirit fruits and spirit wine were rare in the eyes of ordinary cultivators.

How could Daoist Huo De take out so much at once?

Seeing the strange expressions in the eyes of the surrounding Nascent Soul cultivators, whether it was surprise, jealousy, or greed, Daoist Huo De was very happy.

However, when Huo De Daoist waved his hand in the air and flames flickered in his hand, a fiery red jade cup appeared. Inside, a cluster of crimson flames mixed with a black flame flew out. Huo De Daoist looked around and was about to speak when he happened to see Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua's expression was clearly different from the others, but Huo De Daoist didn't care. There were many cultivators who were absent-minded today, so he didn't care about Xiao Hua.

"Fellow cultivators," Daoist Huo De withdrew his gaze and looked at the jade cup in his hand. He raised his voice, "The last time I came to Yaotai Mountain was a thousand years ago. I still remember that there was snow on that day. It was as big as a banquet. I stepped on the snow to come here. Fellow cultivators thought highly of me and waited in the snow.

I was moved. When I saw Grand Master Kong Hongwu, I bluntly told him that the Taoist cultivators and Confucian cultivators of the Hidden Immortal Continent had coexisted for thousands of years. Although all kinds of estrangement in the ancient times caused the current situation, this situation couldn't last long. Our common enemy was the Buddhist Sect. Taoist and Confucian cultivators should be friends!

Brothers!

Brothers!!!

This so-called Yaotai Mountain Gathering actually didn't need to exist. The drawing of the State Preceptor every ten years was simply meaningless!

Grand Master Kong's face was ashamed. Although he didn't say anything in front of everyone, he privately held my hand and said, 'Fellow Immortal Huo De, everything is understood without words. Senior and Fellow Immortal … are close friends!'

Hahaha, this old guy actually showed off in front of me and called himself a senior. But this old guy really has a good appearance. I can't compare with him.

After that day, beyond my expectation, there were more than 955 State Preceptor's lots in the Yaotai Mountain Gathering. Although Grand Master Kong didn't say anything, I faintly felt it in my heart … "

"Senior Huo De …" A Yuanying cultivator who was a little closer to Daoist Huo De stood up and bowed. He said, "I know about the Yaotai Mountain Gathering a thousand years ago. At that time, I was still a Jindan cultivator and also came to Yaotai Mountain to join in the fun.

I know that in the previous Yaotai Mountain Gathering, the number of the State Preceptor's lots was at most 755. But I didn't expect that it suddenly increased to 955. I was really excited at that time!

To tell you the truth, I didn't intend to participate in that year. But I couldn't resist the temptation of the State Preceptor's lots and rushed to Yaotai Mountain to try my luck!

Unfortunately, my cultivation was too shallow and I didn't gain anything in the end.

But it wasn't until now that I knew the reason was actually senior.

Senior … Alas, I don't know what words to use to express my inner excitement. Come, fellow cultivators, let's all get up and toast Daoist Huo De on behalf of the Daoist cultivators of the Hidden Immortal Continent. We thank him for speaking up for us and for his efforts for our Daoist sects … "

That Yuanying cultivator raised his cup. The other Yuanying cultivators and the Jindan cultivators in the distance all got up and said in unison, "We thank Daoist Huo De …"

"Hehe, this first cup of wine was originally for all of you. But I didn't expect that my words would reveal some secrets."

Daoist Huo De's small face was smiling like a flower. He raised his wine cup and twirled it. "Good, in that case, thank you fellow cultivators!

Please, today … "

Speaking up to here, Daoist Huo De's brows slightly wrinkled. His gaze paused at the place where Xiao Hua was sitting and immediately moved away. He continued, "It's rare for us to gather together. We must enjoy ourselves to the fullest. After the banquet, we'll take a rest. This old man has brought a lot of good things, which will certainly satisfy all of you fellow cultivators."

"Fellow cultivator Xiao?"

Xiao Hua was originally sitting not far behind Hong Songzi and the others. He was somewhat absent-minded. Daoist Yuan Qing and the others naturally didn't notice. Seeing Daoist Huo De's obvious frown, how could they not understand? They hurriedly turned their heads and immediately saw Xiao Hua sitting upright behind the jade table and looking at the flaming wine cup.

"Oh?"

Xiao Hua was only stunned for a moment. His mind entered the dark side of the space to look at Hong Songzi. Hearing Hong Songzi's call, he immediately woke up. Looking at the surrounding cultivators standing up, he bitterly smiled and waved his hand. The wine cup fell into his hand.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred. That originally crimson jade wine cup touched Xiao Hua's palm and suddenly turned into nothingness. Xiao Hua stretched out his hand to grab the cup but unexpectedly grabbed nothing.

"Hehe …" An unknown Yuanying cultivator next to him sneered and said loudly, "Many thanks for Daoist Huo De's wine. I'm also looking forward to the transaction after the banquet.

To Daoist Huo De … "

"To Daoist Huo De …" When that cultivator took the lead, the others all raised their cups and looked at Daoist Huo De. Daoist Huo De smiled and opened his mouth. A wisp of fire flew out from the wine cup. The fire sparkled in the air with a crimson brilliance. There was actually a faint shadow of a fire bird. It flapped its wings a few times and flew into Daoist Huo De's mouth.

The red light on Daoist Huo De's face flashed. When his eyes opened and closed, a wisp of fire also appeared.

Immediately after, Daoist Huo De smiled and tilted the jade cup in his hand forward. The jade cup was empty.

Seeing Daoist Huo De drink it in one gulp, everyone raised their cups, or drank it in front of their mouths. Only Xiao Hua stood there with a faint smile on his face and watched the others drink.

Whether it was Hong Songzi or Daoist Yu Qing, there was helplessness in their eyes. They wanted to help Xiao Hua out of the embarrassment, but in front of Daoist Huo De, they didn't dare to. They could only smile apologetically at Xiao Hua and raise their cups to drink.

However, Hai Hongzi shook his head slightly. He had already excluded Xiao Hua from the scope of cooperation!

After all, today Xiao Hua offended Daoist Huo De because of a small detail. From this detail, Hai Hongzi could see clearly that Daoist Huo De was not very broad-minded. He might even seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Although Xiao Hua's strength was similar to his, or even a little stronger, compared with Daoist Huo De, he was not just a little bit weaker. After all, one was in the middle stage of Yuanying, and the other was in the late stage of Yuanying.

In particular, Daoist Huo De had a very good relationship with the Confucian cultivator. This time, he was invited by the Confucian cultivator. Since Xiao Hua was going to participate in the Yaotai Gathering, it was inevitable that he would fall into the hands of Daoist Huo De. If he was mixed with Xiao Hua, it was really unwise.
