Chapter 3585
Hai Hongzi drank a cup of spirit wine along with everyone else. He felt a pure fire elemental energy of heaven and earth suddenly emerge from his stomach and rush straight to his head.
Hai Hongzi was overjoyed. He didn't dare to neglect it. Without waiting to sit down cross-legged, he immediately used his cultivation method to refine the fire elemental energy of heaven and earth. At his level of cultivation, ordinary spirit wine could only be used for entertainment. He didn't expect this Li Fire Spirit Wine to have such an effect.
"Tsk tsk …" After a while, another Nascent Soul cultivator sighed with emotion like Hai Hongzi. "Fellow Daoist Huode, I have long heard of the Li Fire Spirit Wine's effect, but I never had the chance to taste it. I didn't expect to encounter it on Yaotai Mountain.
To think that Fellow Daoist actually let us drink this kind of spirit wine. Alas, this kind of extravagance … I'm afraid only Huode Zhenren on the Hidden Immortal Continent can do it. "
Xiao Hua still stood there quietly. He didn't feel embarrassed at all. He looked at the cultivator who spoke with interest. This cultivator's expression indeed looked very emotional. He didn't have the kind of flattery that he imagined. Looking at the cultivators around him, he waved his hand and picked up a second cup of wine. Some raised their cups to Huode Zhenren, while others drank it in one gulp. They simply ignored Huode Zhenren. Thinking back to when Chang Yu and the others were drinking and eating in his palace, Xiao Hua somewhat understood that the life of Daoist cultivators below Confucian cultivation was indeed difficult!
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Pu's words are too exaggerated!"
Huode Zhenren laughed. "I'm only at the upper fourth level of elemental energy. There are many Daoist seniors above me. They are much more powerful than me …"
"Fellow Daoist Huode's words are wrong again!
I'm not talking about powerful strength. "
The cultivator named Xuan Pu shook his head. "There are Daoist seniors on the Hidden Immortal Continent. I've heard of many of them. How many of them would stand up for our Daoist cultivators?
Now, how many people are as righteous, benevolent, and righteous as Fellow Daoist? "
Huode Zhenren smiled. He felt very happy in his heart, but he hurriedly waved his hand. "Xuan Pu Zhenren is the one who is wrong!
I don't know what the seniors have done. How can I compare with them?
My Li Fire Spirit Wine is just rich in elemental energy, but the wine's effect is not strong. How can you get drunk before drinking it? "
"That's right, Daoist Master Xuanpu is really drunk!"
On the other side of Daoist Huode, another cultivator with an ancient face said, "Although our Dao Sect is in decline, over the years, many of our seniors have died at the hands of Confucian cultivators in order to revive our Dao Sect.
Fellow Daoist Huo De is indeed chivalrous, but compared to these seniors, you're still lacking! "
When Huo De Zhenren heard this, his expression changed drastically. Although this cultivator had compared him to the senior cultivators of the Dao Sect, it didn't seem inappropriate. Furthermore, he was only at the upper stage of the fourth grade of essence force. Compared to the fifth and sixth grade of essence force, he was indeed much weaker.
However, everyone knew that he was on good terms with the Confucian cultivator, and he had even shown off just now. Now, that cultivator actually talked about the death of a Daoist senior. Wasn't he clearly not giving him any face?
Would he say that he … was a lackey of the confucian cultivators?
"You … Who are you?"
Daoist Huo De naturally wouldn't speak. Daoist Master Xuanpu frowned and asked, then turned to Daoist Huo De, thinking that he would recognize this person.
"This old man is Daoist Master Qing Xu, a nameless person …" The cultivator's tone was still indifferent, "I'm currently residing in Yong Province's Great Cang Mountain. I'm merely a carefree person with no connection to the Confucian cultivators. It's no wonder that you two Fellow Daoists don't recognize me."
Daoist Huo De's expression froze and the flames around his body flickered. He asked with a cold voice, "Daoist Master Qing Xu, what do you mean by no connection to the Confucian cultivators?
Could it be that this old man is wrong in asking for the death of a Dao Sect disciple?
Could it be that all the Dao Sect cultivators under the heavens can't associate with the Confucian cultivators? "
At this moment, everyone had already noticed this and many of them put down their wine cups. Xiao Hua looked at the three people in the distance and faintly smiled. He very naturally sat down. Although there were some spirit wine and spirit fruits in front of him, he didn't even look at them and only raised his head thoughtfully.
Seeing someone sit down, the nearby people also sat down. The previously noisy cave suddenly became quiet. Even the children brought by Daoist Huo De in the distance were stunned and somewhat at a loss.
Daoist Master Qing Xu looked around and very calmly raised the wine cup in his hand. He said with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, this old man's words actually don't mean anything. Whether it is Fellow Daoist Huo De, fellow Daoists, or even the Dao Sect ancestors this old man spoke of, they are all Dao Sect disciples.
The identity of Dao Sect disciples in the Hidden Immortal Continent is very awkward. Fellow Daoists, if you want to cultivate further, you have to take charge of a country. Perhaps you didn't care about the Imperial Teacher's lot, but you also came here for the scattered treasures of the Yaotai Mountain. Don't forget, not to mention the Imperial Teacher's lot, even these treasures … were all given by the Confucian cultivators!
If it weren't for the Confucian cultivators' coercion, would our Dao Sect cultivators be like this?
Of course, Fellow Daoist Huo De's heart to protect our Dao Sect disciples is obvious to all. This old man also admires you in my heart.
This old man just means to remind fellow Daoists that those who are given alms will never be able to stand on their own feet. Those who are raised in captivity will never be able to fly high. When we are struggling at death's door, don't forget that these miserable years were exchanged by our Dao Sect ancestors with their lives, blood, and forceful means! "
The entire cave was silent. No one knew how to respond.
"Come, come, fellow Daoists, today we borrow Fellow Daoist Huo De's wine to worship the ancestors of Dao Sect, worship the ancestors who were not afraid of oppression for the rise of our Dao Sect …" Daoist Master Qing Xu raised his hand and drank the spirit wine. Then he threw the wine cup on the ground and laughed, "Alas, it's a joke that there are thousands of people in this cave. The Dao Sect has no lofty aspirations, no hot blood in their hearts. What about the Nascent Soul in their chests?
This old man disdains to be associated with them!! "
With that, Daoist Master Qing Xu turned into a green rainbow and rushed out of the cave. Daoist Huo De's face changed greatly. Daoist Xuanpu's face changed greatly. Even Xiao Hua and the others' faces changed greatly.
Everyone knew that this was Yaotai Mountain, the location of the Yaotai Meeting. Although there were Dao Sect disciples in this cave, who knew if there were any Confucian spies?
Even Xiao Hua, who could erect a blood stele in the Bronze Pillar Country, would have to think twice before personally declaring that he wanted to open the Fortune Gate and establish the Dao Gate.
"Stop …" Daoist Xuanpu was shocked. He waved his hand and was about to scold Daoist Master Qing Xu. However, Daoist Huo De raised his head and a faint ring of fire rushed into the air and blocked Daoist Xuanpu's spell. He shook his head slightly and said, "Let him go!
Everyone has their own aspirations. There's no need to force them. This old man has a clear conscience and can face the Dao Sect ancestors directly. I don't care what others say. "
"But …" Daoist Xuanpu slightly bit his lips. He still wanted to say something but swallowed it back down. He slowly sat down and waved his hand. A Fire Li Date fell into his hand and took a bite. He closed his eyes and tasted it.
"Fellow Daoists …" Daoist Huo De looked around and said with a smile, "There's no need to pay attention to him. This old man has encountered countless misunderstandings in the past thousands of years. Today's misunderstandings don't make a difference. Don't let this unpleasant matter disturb everyone's mood."
"That's right. Senior Huo De said there's no need to pay attention to others.
This fellow Daoist is probably jealous of senior's friends all over the world! "A Golden Core cultivator in the distance actually stood up and shouted.
"Many thanks, many thanks …" Daoist Huo De actually expressed his thanks and nodded slightly to that Golden Core cultivator.
Immediately, some tactful cultivators stood up and toasted him. There were also some cultivators who whispered. Before long, the unpleasant matter at the beginning of the banquet was almost forgotten.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao was a bit reckless earlier …" Seeing that Daoist Huo De didn't notice the commotion in the cave, Hong Songzi whispered to Xiao Hua, "Even if fellow Daoist doesn't like Daoist Huo De, you still have to give him face.
Fortunately, there was Daoist Qing Xu's disturbance. Otherwise, Daoist Huo De would really remember fellow Daoist.
How about this, when we're free later, we'll go toast Daoist Huo De as an apology. "
Xiao Hua smiled and nodded slightly. Today, he was the one who was rude first. Toasting with him was nothing.
Unfortunately, Hong Songzi and Xiao Hua still didn't expect that before they started to move, Daoist Huo De's side moved again. They heard a slightly fat cultivator say, "Fellow Daoist Huo De, you haven't come here for a thousand years. This old man also hasn't seen fellow Daoist for several hundred years. We've endured humiliation for so many years and the younger generation of Hidden Immortal Continent has also risen. To be honest, not to mention the Golden Core disciples who came to this banquet today, I'm also not familiar with many of these Nascent Soul cultivators.
Why don't we let them report their names one by one? First, everyone knows each other. Second, it'll be easier to take care of each other in the future. "
"Good!"
Daoist Huo De nodded and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Jin Xu is right. Although this old man has sent an invitation, as long as you're a Nascent Soul cultivator of my Dao Sect, you can come to the banquet. Since everyone is a Dao Sect disciple, it's reasonable to know each other."
With that, Daoist Huo De raised his head with a smile, but the direction he was looking at was not Xiao Hua.
"Junior Zhang Cheng, from the Qu Yun Pavilion in Yan Province. I just had a baby two hundred years ago. Now my Daoist name is Zhi Chengzi."
Following Daoist Huo De's gaze, a very handsome cultivator stood up, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and said respectfully, "That year, junior also met Senior Huo De on Yaotai Mountain. I was also deeply impressed by senior's demeanor. Now that junior has also cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, I dare not say what I can do for my Dao Sect. I only hope that junior can be lucky enough to win the lot of the State Preceptor and open a paradise for my Dao Sect disciples!
Junior salutes Senior Huo De. "
With that, Zhi Chengzi raised his glass and drank it.
"Good, the old man is very happy that the little boy has become a great talent."
Daoist Huo De was overjoyed. He raised his glass and drank it, and said, "This old man also wishes you success and become a pillar of my Dao Sect!"
