"Are those Non-Immortals raised by you?"
"They were originally female crowns in the Daoist Sect, not something I raised. What’s a Non-Immortal anyway?"
The eyeless man said,
"A Non-Immortal appears Immortal on the outside, but inside, it is no longer. Similarly, if something appears demonic on the outside but has been changed internally, it’s a Non-Demon... How could you not know this and yet manage to see?"
Tie Dan hesitated for a moment,
"Probably because I’m of Shi Family bloodline from Kan Country."
The eyeless man spread his hands, indicating so what? Is it impressive?
Tie Dan was silent for a moment,
"The Shi Family from Kan Country seems to be mixed-blood between the Immortal Venerable and a Demon Dragon, sometimes with descendants experiencing Demonization, able to see things invisible to ordinary people."
The eyeless man frowned and made calculations.
"What kind of invisibility? What unseen things have you encountered? Are there others in your family who can see the Non-Immortals?"
"A question and answer."
Tie Dan spoke irritably,
"Where does the name Non-Immortal come from in the Daoist Collection, and why have I never heard of it?"
"It’s normal not to have heard it; I made up the name."
Tie Dan almost wanted to kill him with a sword.
The eyeless man said,
"But this thing is real, probably a new kind of demon. I observed peculiar entities mingling among demons, only recognized as similar because they have strange shapes and bloodthirsty habits, people lump them together.
But they are different from demons because ordinary people see them yet overlook them. Immortals see them yet dismiss them. Only people like us, who are born with enlightened eyes, can see their true forms."
Tie Dan suspiciously looked at the eyeless man’s ’enlightened eyes.’
The eyeless man said,
"Whether you believe me or not doesn’t matter, in recent years, Non-Immortals and Non-Demons have increased more and more. All along my journey, I’ve seen many cultivators with marks of Non-Immortal and Non-Demon invasions.
This kind of thing is unprecedented, and for the moment, I don’t know their transformation patterns. I’ve killed a few, but they appear neither real nor false, and it’s unclear what exactly they are and where they originated.
Since you’re raising those Non-Immortals, just keep raising them and see what transformations occur after their Feather Transformation."
"Feather Transformation?"
The eyeless man was silent for a moment, his expression stern, leaning closer to whisper,
"Don’t tell others; I think Feather Transformation Immortals might all be Non-Immortals..."
Tie Dan looked at him, sighed, and shook his head,
"I have no idea what you’re talking about..."
The eyeless man just laughed, patting Tie Dan’s shoulder,
"It’s better not to know. Some things are best unseen, unheard, and unknown. Alright, wake up."
Then Tie Dan suddenly opened his eyes, finding himself sitting cross-legged on a cloud, Hui Ming and Zhan Tie serving beside him,
"Why did the young master’s Primordial Spirit emerge?"
"Luckily, we arrived in time to protect you, or else the evil spirits would have harmed your Dao Body, causing a great fault."
Tie Dan stared directly at them. He saw that they had both changed out of their green Daoist robes into new outfits.
Hui Ming wore a peach-colored grand palace dress, with a thin sheer silk wrap revealing her navel.
Zhan Tie was wrapped in a crimson Immortal Dress adorned with luminous ribbons, gracefully exposing her back.
"You... have washed up..."
Hui Ming and Zhan Tie noticed Tie Dan’s intense gaze on their bodies, making them a bit embarrassed and bashfully whispered,
"Hmm, yes... Anything else the young master commands?"
Tie Dan remained silent for a while, resisting the impulse to split them open with a sword to see more clearly.
"Nothing. Let’s move to the next place."
