Chapter 279 Immortal Intoxication

"Elder Jin Nan, this is our sect’s newly appointed leader," explained Zhong Yue quickly.

Newly appointed sect leader? Where did Long Tianxing go?

Jin Nan's expression shifted erratically, several questions popping up in his mind, causing his face to turn more odd by the second.

"Jin Nan, come over here for a moment!"

Turning his head to look who was calling for him, he saw the sixth king, waving at him. Pushing the confusion to the back of his mind, Jin Nan quickly left and headed toward him.

Even though he was still shocked that Fang Chen had become the Qingzhou Sword Sect’s leader, he didn't particularly dwell on it.

After Jin Nan left, Fang Chen closed his eyes, and his divine soul instantly soared above the plaza. Every cultivator appeared in his eyes, no one could hide from him whenever he left his body.

Fang Chen could sense that Jin Nan was at the mid Foundation Building, which was not much stronger than Long Tianxing.

The sixth king seemed decent enough, his cultivation obviously deeper. He was not far from the late stage of the Foundation Building Realm.

The faces of the woman who dressed as a peasant, Daoist Ya, and Fire Cloud Immortal were all within Fang Chen's sight. NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

Naturally, he also saw the sixth princess and Pancake Zhang.

Glancing at Pancake Zhang, Fang Chen smiled. "He’s at the first stage of the Qi Refining Realm, not bad at all."

In the next moment, his divine soul swept away toward a distant place, quickly locking onto Immortal Sea Dragon.

Deep within the Heavenly Southern Sect, shrouded in clouds and mist, lay a mountain range. Here, the spiritual energy was dense, and spiritual springs gushed forth. The mountains were surrounded by numerous spiritual herbs and plants.

Two figures sat facing each other by a stone table, with a chessboard placed on it.

"Senior Sea Dragon, you aren’t here just to congratulate Little Fan, are you?" said a middle-aged scholar, frowning slightly. He was holding a black chess piece in his hand, his hand paused in the air, seemingly unsure where to place it.

These three words suddenly surged into Fang Chen's mind, and his face turned extremely solemn. Could it be that the Heavenly Southern Sect and the Sea Dragon Sect were part of the Blood Spirit Sect?

That can’t be right. Given how the Spirit Blood Sect is, they would have multiple layers of disguise. It's unlikely that an entire sect would be part of the Spirit Blood Sect. Jin Nan helped me kill a Spirit Blood Sect Foundation Building cultivator, he would’ve turned against me if he was on their side, thought Fang Chen.

Fang Chen focused back on their conversation, hoping to obtain more information.

"Even though the Jade Dragon Battle General is very capable, compared to the person behind you, he still falls short. If you don't want to recommend me, then you can just ignore what I said. It's up to you.”

The middle-aged man fell silent for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. He took out a Communication Talisman and burned it.

"I've sent a transmission to my eldest senior brother, but he's a bit far away, so we won’t be hearing from him soon. I'll let you know once he replies.”

The Immortal Sea Dragon smiled and clasped his hands together. "No trouble at all."

The two directed their focus back to the chessboard and didn’t talk anymore. Fang Chen waited for a while in the hope that they’d speak once more but it didn’t happen. Thinking about it for a moment, he decided to return to his physical body.

Back at the plaza, several early-stage Foundation Building Realm cultivators from the Heavenly Southern had arrived and mingled among the other cultivators.

Jin Nan seemed to have some free time and approached Fang Chen again for a talk. Their conversation didn’t yield much for him until Jin Nan mentioned “that girl from your empire that has a seven chimes talent.”

"She has already formed her first immortal vein and reached the first stage of the Qi Refining Realm," Jin Nan sighed. "With talent such as hers, advancing to the Foundation Building Realm won’t be an issue.”

Fang Chen smiled. "It seems your sect has done a good job nurturing her."

"Oh, not at all," Jin Nan replied modestly, then glanced at the sky. "The ceremony is about to begin. Please have a seat for now." With that, Jin Nan walked to the center of the plaza and addressed the Foundation Building cultivators behind each jade table.

"I thank you all for coming all the way here today. The ancestor knows of your hardships, so he specially instructed us to prepare some Immortal Intoxication for you to taste."

With a wave of his sleeve, dozens of jars of wine appeared, emitting a tempting fragrance that filled the air. The smell alone caused everyone’s faces to turn a shade of red.

"I never expected to drink the Immortal Intoxication today. Haha, truly a treasure" exclaimed Daoist Ya.

"Immortal Intoxication?" Fang Chen's thoughts stirred slightly. "A sip can replace several months of hard cultivation?"
