Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 147: Nine Tolls!

Lets see how it goes first Fang Qingyao was unable to make up her mind.

Her maid anxiously whispered, Young miss, go for it! Even Imperial Duke Fang has joined a cultivator sect. If you become a cultivator too, you might just have a shot with Imperial Duke Fang

Fang Qingyaos face turned red. She coyly exclaimed, What nonsense are you spouting?

Young miss, its not that I want to lecture you, but I have seen you sitting in a daze when Imperial Duke Fang doesnt visit the Compassion Hall. I wonder who you are thinking about, her maid teased.

Hush, Jade Fairy is about to undergo her spirit assessment, Fang Qingyao quickly changed the topic.

Everyones attention fell on Jade Fairy.

She was as famous as Fang Chen in the capital; it would be hard to find anyone here who hadnt heard about her. Even the officials knew about her. She was the number one beauty of the Great Xia Rivers Jade Fairy Boat, after all.

Jade Fairy stood in front of the Spirit Gauging Bell. She glanced at Fang Chen before she raised her slender arm, clenched her fist, and hurled it forth.

Dong!

The Spirit Gauging Bell tolled.

Jade Fairy continued striking the bell.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

The Spirit Gauging Bell continued to toll.

Four tolls!

The crowd was excited. This showed that Jade Fairy was sufficiently talented to at least join one of the cultivation sects here. At this rate, she might become a real fairy in the future!

A few women with similar backgrounds as Jade Fairy looked at her in envy.

Dong!

Dong!

Six tolls!

The crowds eyes slowly widened in shock.

Elder Jinnan and the others took another look at Jade Fairy. Six tolls represented medium-upper cultivation talent, which was rather decent.

The Sixth Princess standing behind Immortal Aunt Firecloud clenched her fists as she glared at Jade Fairy with a livid face. How can a secular womans cultivation talent be higher than mine?!

Dong!

Seven tollsthis represented superior cultivation talent!

The crowd fell utterly silent. This was the third superior cultivation talent thus far, but no one thought that it would appear on Jade Fairy!

Our South Heaven Sect will be taking her, Elder Jinnan declared.

Dong!

Right after he said those words, the bell tolled once more.

Eight tolls!

The crowd was dumbstruck. This was the first time the crowd had seen anyone achieving a result of eight tolls.

The farm ladys eyes heated up Jinnan, shes mine. I lack a personal disciple. Ill fight you if you dare compete with me over her!

Daoist Crow and the others exchanged pitiful looks. They didnt have the means to compete with the South Heaven Sect and the Beast Spirit Valley, so they could only watch helplessly as this piece of fine jade fell into someone elses hand.

Elder Jinnan was still coming to terms with the situation. With a cultivation talent of eight tolls, Jade Fairy was on par with the two top prodigies who appeared in Infernoblaze back then.

Shes talented, Fang Chen murmured under his breath.

That wont do. Our South Heaven Sect will be taking her! Knowing he couldnt let such a talent slip past his fingers, Elder Jinnan immediately competed with the farm lady despite her threat.

Dong!

While the two of them were in a heated argument, yet another toll echoed.

Everyone was dumbstruck. Even the arguing Elder Jinnan and farm lady shut their mouths and stared at Jade Fairy with dazed eyes.

N-nine tolls? I have never seen anyone with a cultivation talent of nine tolls before. How long has it been since such an individual appeared in Infernoblaze? 300 years? 500 years? Daoist Crow exclaimed in shock.

There was a moment of silence before deafening cheers broke out.

The common populace didnt understand the true significance of nine tolls; all they knew was that Jade Fairy had achieved something incredible and brought honor to their Great Xia.

C-continue Xia Yun stuttered.

I didnt expect myself to be so talented, Jade Fairy muttered. She tried striking the Spirit Gauging Bell once more, but it didnt produce any more reverberation.

Nine tolls is the peak. A person who can evoke nine tolls has one of the best cultivation talents in the world. Elder Jinnan excitedly rose from his seat. Young miss, are you willing to join our South Heaven Sect?

Theres nothing good about the South Heaven Sect. Come to our Beast Spirit Valley. Ill take you in as my personal disciple. The farm lady stood up as well.

Xia Yus eyes became heated. He thought of something and hurriedly spoke up, Jade Fairy, Im at the South Heaven Sect too. Why dont you join us so that we can look after each other?

Jade Fairy paid no heed to Xia Yu and instead turned to Fang Chen. Lord Imperial Duke, which sect do you think is more suited for me?

The crowd was stunned.

Xia Yu first looked at Jade Fairy, followed by Fang Chen, and he suddenly felt as if someone had shoved dog poop down his throat. He felt disgusted all over.

Why are you asking a mortal? What would he know? That being said, someone of your talent is qualified to become my disciple, a cold voice suddenly echoed from the sky.

The crowd hurriedly raised their heads.

It was a purple-robed woman standing on a sword in mid-air. She was looking at Jade Fairy with glowing eyes.

Shes flying on a sword

Once again, the crowd found themselves shocked by the means of the cultivators. They had seen many incredible sights today, but sword flying was a feat that was often associated with the strongest experts in novels.

To them, such a feat looked even more incredible than what Daoist Cloudcrane did.

Elder Jinnans face darkened. Fellow daoist

He wasnt intimidated by the purple-robed womans presence or feat. Even Ki Refinement cultivators were capable of sword flight, though they would have been much less adept at it than a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Who are you calling a fellow daoist?

The purple-robed woman glared at Elder Jinnan. A powerful aura gushed forth from her, and Elder Jinnans knees immediately fell to the ground.

To the latters shock, he was unable to move at all!

Golden Core?!

The farm lady and the others gasped as they eyed the purple-robed woman with fearful eyes.

The pale-faced Elder Jinnan immediately understood what kind of entity he was up against, so he hurriedly changed his words, E-Elder!

Thats more like it. The purple-robed woman chuckled. She retracted her aura, and only then was Elder Jinnan able to return to his feet. Youre not wrong to say that nine tolls is the peak, but your Spirit Gauging Bell doesnt meet the mark, so the spirit assessment you conducted isnt accurate. If you dont get that, I suggest you step down here lest you mislead others.

After teaching Elder Jinnan a lesson, the purple-robed woman turned to Jade Fairy and asked, Miss, are you willing to take me as your master?

Jade Fairys eyes flickered. The purple-robed woman is stronger than Elder Jinnan and the others by a huge margin, but She looked to Fang Chen, and only when the latter nodded did she finally bow to the purple-robed woman. Paying respect to master.

Good. Youll be coming with me then.

The purple-robed woman waved her hand, and a surge of spirit ki enveloped Jade Fairy and lifted her up onto the flying sword.

It was yet another incredible sight that evoked awe from the crowd.

Please wait for a moment, elder. Fang Chen clasped his fist.

You need something? the purple-robed woman impassively asked.

May I know your sect name? Fang Chen asked with a smile.

And you think youre qualified to know that? The purple-robed woman chuckled under her breath before turning around, not wanting to waste any more time here.

It was then that Jade Fairy spoke up. Elder, please answer Imperial Duke Fangs question.

You and him The purple-robed woman cast an assessing gaze at Jade Fairy before finally shaking her head. Youre destined to be a sword immortal. You ought to sever ties with those from the secular world.

She then turned to Elder Jinnan and the others. I came over to take a look after sensing the Spirit Marrow. This miss should be the greatest beneficiary of the spirit rain, so Ill be taking her with me. You can take whoever else is left. Farewell.

After saying her piece, the purple-robed woman departed from the scene with Jade Fairy in a flash of light, disappearing in the horizon in a matter of seconds.

Elder Jinnan and the others had awful looks on their faces. Not only had they been robbed of their disciple, but the other party even humiliated them on top of that
