Chapter 2: Immortals

The Taoist continued to ask: "Did you take off my celestial robe?"

"No, it rained heavily last night... I took off your robe to wipe your body," Lin San hurriedly explained. This Taoist was truly impolite; he had kindly saved him and even offered to wipe his body for free, yet instead of expressing gratitude, his attitude was so unpleasant.

"Special abilities?" The Taoist was taken aback. "What I possess is not called special abilities; it is celestial magic."

Lin San displayed a look of surprise and suspicion on his face: "No way, you don't even recognize a television?"

Lin San pouted and said, "What help can you possibly offer me?"

The Taoist took a step forward: "Did you bring me here?"

Lin San raised an eyebrow and said, "If you are unwilling to part with the robe, then just return the money directly"

After a few minutes, the Taoist priest emerged from the room dressed in his robe, his expression much more amiable than when he had been bare.

A night without conversation

"How many interfaces are there in this world?" Lin San interjected

The Taoist glanced at Lin San and said, "Do you not believe?"

"Incorrect, I am not an ordinary Taoist priest." The Taoist priest shook his finger.

The Taoist furrowed his brow: "Water? The water in the mortal realm is surprisingly difficult to drink."

"The celestial robe?" Lin San was momentarily taken aback. "Oh, you mean that Daoist robe, right? Indeed, it was I who helped you take it off."

Lin San instinctively took a few steps back, maintaining a certain distance from the Taoist priest

Guangyuanzi shook his head: "I am not sure either; in any case, there are countless numbers."

Strictly speaking, it should be a spatial interface, "Guangyuanzi said.

The Taoist spread his hands and said, "What I am saying is true, I really have no money"

How is it? Do you still not believe? The Taoist furrowed his brow, and with a gesture of his hand, a sword emitting a white light appeared in his grasp. The sword was crystal clear and gleaming, seemingly formed from condensed air

Lin San was awakened by a loud shout. He opened his bleary eyes, shook his dizzy head, and stepped out of the bedroom wearing only a pair of shorts

"No, I don't understand what you're saying at all." Lin San questioned his own intelligence, wondering why he couldn't grasp the meaning behind the Taoist's words.

The Taoist sat on the sofa and slowly exhaled: "There are many things you do not know."

Lin Sanchou moved the corner of his mouth but did not speak

"Yes, my title." Guangyuanzi nodded.

Lin San was taken aback: "What are you saying? Water of the human world? Why does that sound so awkward to me?"

Is this... am I seeing things? Lin San rubbed his eyes vigorously; indeed, the television was really spinning in mid-air

Ah, you have finally woken up! Lin San's face lit up with joy

Ah! So you intend to renege on your debt! Lin San placed her hands on her hips, her face slightly turning pale with anger. After all this commotion, she had saved an old scoundrel, which was truly unfortunate. She really should not have carried the Taoist back home last night

"Money?" The Taoist frowned and replied, "I have no money on me"

"Do you still not believe? Very well, I shall show you something even more impressive." With that, the Taoist slowly stood up, formed a hand seal with one hand, and softly uttered a single word: "Rise." An incredible scene unfolded.

"All that I have said to you today must not be mentioned to a second person," said Guangyuanzi

The Taoist glared fiercely at Lin San and turned to walk into the room at m. hetushu. comcom

The Taoist glanced at Lin San, plopped down onto the sofa, and casually picked up the cup of water from the coffee table to take a sip: "Pah! What is this stuff, it's so terrible to drink!"

"I know, aren't you just a scoundrel of a Taoist who likes to default on debts?" Lin San scoffed.

"Are you driving me away?" The Taoist was taken aback for a moment, as if he had heard something unbelievable

The Taoist glanced at Lin San and said, "I do not intend to default on my debt; I truly have no money."

Lin San shook his head like a rattle drum; in Lin San's understanding, there were simply no deities in the world

The Taoist pondered for a moment and said, "I absolutely cannot give you the Daoist robe, but I can help you with something."

Lin San opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he did not know what would be appropriate to say.

"I can explain it to you, but you must agree to one condition," said Guangyuanzi

"Impressive... truly impressive," Lin San exclaimed. "I can hardly believe that deities truly exist in this world."

Now do you believe it? the Taoist said slowly

Lin nodded three times: "Indeed."

I said, "Are you really going to be unreasonable? I am just an ordinary employee with a pitifully low income; that 260 yuan is my living expenses for half a month." Lin San was infuriated, and his voice gradually grew louder.

Early morning

The Taoist waved his hand and said, "You may still call me Guangyuanzi, as 'Uncle Immortal' sounds particularly awkward to me."

Hmph! You are truly meddling in others' affairs! Where is my celestial robe?" The Taoist snorted coldly and extended his hand in front of Lin San's face

There are some matters that you do not need to understand, the Taoist said淡淡地说道

Uh... Lin San almost bit his own tongue while speaking. This Taoist is being utterly ridiculous. If you are a deity, then I must be the Jade Emperor.

What conditions? Lin San asked

"Alright, alright, I absolutely will not mention it to anyone else." Lin San nodded repeatedly

"Then what are you?" Lin San said, "Could it be that you are still a deity?" Lin San's words were entirely mocking the Taoist, but unexpectedly, the Taoist's response left Lin San completely dumbfounded

The Taoist nodded earnestly: "Indeed, I am a celestial being"

Looking at the sword in the Taoist's hand, Lin San completely believed that the Taoist was indeed an immortal

The television has been returned to its original position, with no damage whatsoever; its placement and angle are exactly the same as before, as if it had never been moved at all

"I have no money," said the Taoist priest

You..." Lin Sang was about to lose his temper when he suddenly thought of something and smiled, saying: "If you don't have money, you can use something as collateral, right?" As he spoke, Lin Sang kept scanning the Taoist priest from head to toe.

Lin Sancao approached the Taoist priest with a face full of reverence: "Um... esteemed immortal uncle..."

The Taoist slowly withdrew his hand, his face somewhat pale: "How is it? Do you believe it now?"

In the living room stands a person, a completely bare individual, who is constantly moving about, occasionally letting out one or two roars. It is indeed the Taoist priest who was unconscious last night

"Interface space? What kind of place is that?" Lin San was somewhat confused.

Lin San said with a crooked smile, "Of course this is water. Don't you usually drink this?" Seeing the Taoist spit out the water, Lin San found it quite amusing. Could it be that the Taoist's brain was damaged by the rain last night, to the point that he couldn't even recognize water?

"Immortal arts? I do not believe that there are truly immortals in this world," Lin San firmly shook his head.

Impossible! The Taoist rejected it outright without a second thought

The Taoist suddenly turned his head, staring intently at Lin San, his gaze sharp and terrifying

Lin San gazed intently at the Taoist for a long time before finally managing to utter a sentence: "Do you have special abilities?"

Lin San curled his lips and said, "I have no interest in prying into your affairs. Since you are better now, you should leave quickly."

The Taoist did not answer Lin San's question, gently leaning back against the sofa, he reached out to stroke his beard: "Thank you for saving me last night"

The Taoist gently exhaled, slowly descending onto the floor, and the treasured sword vanished along with him. The furniture in the living room also settled down steadily, making not a single sound.

Lin San was completely stunned, staring blankly at the Taoist floating in mid-air, unable to utter a single word

Lin San chuckled and pointed at the Daoist's robe, saying, "Let's use this robe as collateral." Although Lin San was unaware of the robe's origins, the fact that it remained dry despite being drenched in heavy rain all night proved that it was not an ordinary garment. At the very least, the materials used in its making were of high quality, suggesting it should be worth some money

The Taoist priest slowly lifted his feet off the ground, and his entire body floated in mid-air. The furniture in the living room also began to rise slowly, rotating around the Taoist priest. What was most astonishing was that as all the furniture turned, it made not a single sound; everything transpired in complete silence.

"What is being mortgaged? What item?" the Taoist asked in confusion.

"No money? You dress so well, how could you be broke?" Lin San clearly did not believe it

"Television? You are watching it," the Taoist said, waving his hand towards the television. A bizarre scene unfolded as the television, which had been placed steadily, suddenly flew up and began to spin in the air along with the books.

Then you go home and get it said Lin San with a serious expression

"Do you know who I am?" the Taoist said淡淡地.

I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Although you have gone out of your way to bring me here, I am still very grateful for your kindness. The Taoist priest nodded slightly, and his tone became more amiable.

What about hell? Does hell really exist? Lin San's curiosity is indeed quite substantial

Who gave you the right to remove my celestial robe!" The Taoist's expression darkened

"Guangyuan Zixian, where do you live? In the legendary realm of immortals?" Lin San respectfully inquired

"What? You still want to cling to me? By the way, I carried you to the hospital for treatment last night, which cost me 260 yuan. You should pay me back quickly." Lin San was still thinking about his 260 yuan.

"Guangyuanzi? What is your name?" Lin San asked

Lin San sneered to himself, secretly cursing: Who is this person? I kindly saved you, and not only are you ungrateful, but you also shout at me. It's truly infuriating

Glancing at Lin San, Guang Yuanzi said: "In fact, there are many realms in this world. For instance, your human realm belongs to one such realm. Realms can be classified as good or bad, and your human realm can only be considered average. The realm I inhabit is filled with spiritual energy, vast in territory, and is home to many immortals with great powers..."

Lin San took a gentle step back and opened his mouth: "You... why are you looking at me like that..."

Oh, I have already folded it and placed it in the cabinet of the room where you slept last night. Lin San pointed to the bedroom where the Taoist had slept last night

The Taoist pointed to the television across from him and said: "What is this thing?"

My home is too far from here; it takes a long time for a round trip. The Taoist shook his head
