Immortal's Intoxication!
" Few people recognize this wine, and even those who do can't say anything, because it's not poisonous; in fact, it's incredibly precious.
Even knowing it's "Immortal's Intoxication" shows sincerity, but in this situation, the wine is definitely not meant to be of good intentions.
However, Qin Chuan isn't worried. The other party's elaborate preparations aren't to kill him; they want to extract information from him.
Although it's a guess, Qin Chuan is confident he's right. The reason they don't dare touch him now is because they don't know his background.
Qin Chuan naturally recognized the wine with his Golden Divine Eye, and he knows its effects—terrifying, just like its name suggests. Even powerful martial artists would get drunk from it.
"Mr. Qin, you're a guest from afar. I'd like to offer you a toast," the Five Qi Yang Sect Master said with a smile. "
Sect Master, you're too kind. It's my turn to toast you. Sorry for the intrusion," Qin Chuan said, picking up his bowl. He
downed most of it in one gulp.
"Impressive drinking capacity!" the Five Qi Yang Sect Master exclaimed with a smile as he poured Qin Chuan more wine.
"This wine is really strong," Qin Chuan said, shaking his head.
"This wine is for martial artists. This jar is truly priceless; money can't buy this kind of wine. What do you think of it, Mr. Qin?" The Five Qi Yang Sect Master smiled at Qin Chuan.
"Good wine, very good, but it seems a bit strong."
"That's precisely the unique quality of this wine. Come, let me toast Mr. Qin again." With that, the Five Qi Yang Sect Master downed his drink in one gulp.
Qin Chuan naturally knew what the other party was up to, but he certainly wouldn't refuse. After all, with Qin Chuan's powerful physique, it would be embarrassing if he couldn't outdrink the other party.
Since the other party wanted to trick him into revealing information, he might as well tell them.
So Qin Chuan also downed his drink in one gulp.
After two bowls, the Five Qi Yang Sect Master felt a little dizzy, while Qin Chuan was already dazed and couldn't even put the bowl down properly.
Bang!
The wine bowl slammed onto the table, breaking into several pieces, and then he slumped onto the table.
The other group remained silent, none of them speaking, only staring at Qin Chuan. The sect leader of the Five Qi Yang Sect took out a small bottle, poured out a pill, and swallowed it.
He quickly sobered up.
"Such a strong drinker!" The sect leader of the Five Qi Yang Sect looked at Qin Chuan and then said, "Someone, help Mr. Qin back to his room to rest!"
Two people supported Qin Chuan, and the sect leader and the others followed.
"Slow down, Mr. Qin, how are you feeling?" the sect leader asked with concern.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, I really enjoyed the drink, another bowl, another bowl..."
The sect leader of the Five Qi Yang Sect wiped his sweat.
"Mr. Qin has a good capacity for alcohol!"
"Sect leader, let me tell you, although the Five Qi Yang Sect is powerful and the overlord of this area, to be honest, if my elder brother came, this place wouldn't stand a chance..."
Qin Chuan's arrogant expression, though drunk, still exuded a disdain that was genuine.
The Five Qi Yang Sect members felt somewhat uncomfortable, but they also felt a tremor in their hearts. They were all capable of discerning whether someone was genuinely drunk or faking it.
Especially with Qin Chuan speaking so candidly, they would have been able to tell if he was lying.
But now they felt that Qin Chuan was telling the truth.
"May I ask who Mr. Qin's brother is?" the Five Qi Yang Sect leader asked calmly.
"My brother, um, my brother is a Little Celestial God, a Little Celestial God, do you know? In that world, he's the most outstanding figure of the younger generation, achieving godhood at twenty-five..."
As he spoke, Qin Chuan fell asleep.
The group left and returned to the hall, their hearts heavy. Qin Chuan had learned a lot before coming, but this time they hadn't expected the other party to use alcohol to extract information.
Now, they could speak freely; otherwise, they probably wouldn't have had it so easy.
After the other party left, Qin Chuan lay on the bed, opened his eyes. He knew the other party had left; his Golden Divine Eyes and Heavenly Dao Divine Sense allowed him to control every blade of grass and tree around him.
At this moment, the Five Qi Yang Sect Master and others were in the hall, their expressions heavy. They were unsure whether to believe Qin Chuan's words.
However, one thing was certain: Qin Chuan's abilities implied a powerful figure or force behind him.
This idea had taken root in their minds, and now they had their wish fulfilled—Qin Chuan had provided them with a powerful force.
This force was absolutely terrifying, not of this world, and seemingly far superior, completely disregarding this place.
Considering Qin Chuan's actions—calm, composed, and in control—easily slaying and crushing countless beings far stronger than himself single-handedly,
they were awestruck. This ability was beyond the capabilities of ordinary people and geniuses. Crossing one or two minor realms was considered genius, but Qin Chuan's leap was unimaginable.
Based on this ability alone, they had to believe Qin Chuan's words. Therefore, they were now discussing what to do next.
Even if they had the courage, they wouldn't dare kill Qin Chuan. After all, if they angered him and lost such a young genius, their Five Qi Yang Sect would surely be wiped out.
Some things are better believed than not. As for suffering losses, haven't they suffered enough along the way?
In this world, no one is immune to losses. You might not suffer losses here, or with this person, but what about with another person, or in another place?
Our ancestors said, "Suffering a loss is a blessing," but actually, suffering losses isn't always a blessing. Sometimes, it's about avoiding disaster. In the face of survival, perhaps suffering a loss is a blessing.
Suffering a loss can help you survive. If you're hot-blooded and can't wait to suffer a loss, then there are two possibilities. You
don't suffer a loss, you regain face and reputation, you shine brightly, you become powerful, and you advance further.
This is the best, the ideal.
But there's another possibility: in front of the other party, you're like an ant against an elephant, utterly vulnerable, not only suffering losses again but also facing the destruction of your family and home.
That's why they say suffering a loss is a blessing.
Now, the Five Qi Yang Gate is considering whether or not to suffer this loss.
They feel there shouldn't be any risk in taking the loss, but not taking it carries a great risk.
But suffering a loss isn't pleasant; it's like being slapped and then having to apologize. That feeling is naturally unpleasant.
Besides, sometimes it's about saving face, about a martial artist's mindset. Suffering a loss is essentially admitting defeat, and that's always a sensitive topic.
"If you 're unhappy, a martial artist seeks a swift and decisive revenge, without suppressing their emotions. They're ready to fight anyone who dares to challenge them, even if it means bloodshed. They won't regret it," the Grand Elder said slowly.
"Sect Master, if we were alone, even the greatest risks wouldn't matter; at worst, we'd lose our lives. But this involves the Five Qi Yang Sect, our families, and our inheritance. I don't recommend taking the risk."
