Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1406: Chapter 526 Qingyang_3 Chapter 1406: Chapter 526 Qingyang_3 Only these large-scale Monster Hunting Ships dared to navigate beyond the ten-thousand-mile range.

And those people!

Aside from the Qi-refining period cultivators maintaining order, ninety-nine percent of them were mortals!

These mortals, striding along, generated gusts of wind. On their bare muscular arms and legs, bulging muscles were visible, underlying a robust physique filled with the potent power of Qi-blood.

If judged by the standards of Wang Yuan from years past, these mortals working at the harbor would at least be second-rate, if not first-rate martial artists!

In fact, some had even touched the edge of innate Grandmasters!

What caught Luo Chen’s most attention was that these mortal warriors did not have that numb demeanor towards life.

Instead, there was a strong sense of enthusiasm, as if they were filled with hope for life.

This did not at all feel like the world under the rule of a Demon Sect; it was more akin to a world blessed with flourishing luck and harmony among the people.

While he was observing, the other people at the harbor also noticed the arrival of the Cheng Family Monster Hunting Ship.

Seeing the sparse number of people on board, along with the thick scent of blood permeating the ship, everyone understood what had happened.

The Cheng Family had encountered misfortune on their ocean hunting expedition this time!

A chorus of murmurs and sympathetic glances poured toward the Cheng Family.

Cheng Haichang’s face turned somewhat ugly as he approached Luo Chen.

“Ascendant Master, my Black Swan Island is located at the northwest corner of the Flying Swallow Islands. There is still a distance from here, but from now on, we have to make our own way.”

“Mm,” Luo Chen nodded.

“Ascendant Master, please wait a moment while I make some arrangements.”

“Do as you wish!”

Luo Chen continued to observe the bustling scene at the harbor, with the Concealing Array fully activated, revealing only Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Spirit Power Fluctuations.

However, his Divine Consciousness had already silently spread far and wide.

“At the harbor, there are two Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators in charge.”

“The nearest island is likely the Flood Dragon Gang that Cheng Haichang previously mentioned, specializing in harbor trades. Surprisingly, there is also a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator within the Flood Dragon Gang!”

Luo Chen slowly retracted his Divine Consciousness, his gaze drifting toward the central area of the Flying Swallow Islands.

It was said that there was a Golden Core Rogue Cultivator there!

Taking advantage of the chaos following the destruction of the Yuan Mo Sect, he personally eradicated the most powerful Foundation Establishment Family in the Flying Swallow Islands and took their ancestral Third Order Spirit Vein Land.

Using this land as his cultivation center, he also ordered his subordinates to tribute to him.

Thirty years ago, this person voluntarily joined the Canghai Righteous Alliance, becoming a nominal member of the Canghai Alliance and thus obtained the secret Island-connecting Array method generously passed down by the Canghai Alliance.

With this, the Flying Swallow Islands became even more united!

These thirty years, the person had indeed lived comfortably!

“Will the initiator not have a successor, I wonder?”

Luo Chen’s lips curled up slightly; he was now also in need of a suitable Third Order Spirit Vein Land for cultivation.

If others could start the cycle, he could certainly take it to completion.

But for now, there was no rush; he needed to probe into that person’s background, first.

“Ascendant Master, I have made the arrangements, please this way.”

“Mm.”

Luo Chen followed Cheng Haichang, flying in the northwest direction.

The two of them moved quickly, and within half a day, they reached a relatively secluded corner in terms of geographic location.

Standing in the sky, Luo Chen looked down upon the island.

Black Swan Island was long and narrow, shaped like a crescent moon, with a large beach in the middle.

At one end, there was a mountain about five hundred feet tall, not very high but extremely steep, with cliffs blocking the threats from the sea.

On the island, there were several small lakes scattered about.

Amongst those lakes and on the beach, a large number of black swans roamed.

He knew that this was the Cheng Family’s main industry; they bred First Order Spirit Beasts, the Black Swans.

And as his Divine Consciousness swept over, he also had a general understanding of the overall level of the Cheng Family Cultivators.

One Ninth Level Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!

None at the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment.

Four were at the Early Stage Foundation Establishment.

Counting Cheng Haichang and Cheng Ji, who was active on the Monster Hunting Ship, there were six at the Early Stage Foundation Establishment.

“One at the Late Stage, six at the Early Stage. With such strength, within the Foundation Establishment forces, they are already quite remarkable. There is indeed a reason why the Cheng Family can occupy a place in the Flying Swallow Islands, even ranking among the top five.”

While Luo Chen was observing the situation on Black Swan Island, Cheng Haichang had already hurriedly entered his clan’s main premise.

It seemed the Cheng Family Cultivators had already been notified; even though some were curious, none disturbed Cheng Haichang along the way.

Shortly after, Cheng Haichang arrived at a small lake that looked like a round mirror.

A young man in white stood there, appearing to have been waiting for some time.

Seeing Cheng Haichang coming alone, the man in white frowned.

“Where is the Golden Core Ascendant Master you mentioned in the Sound Transmission Talisman?”

“Reporting to the Family Head, that Ascendant Master is waiting outside.”

Cheng Dou was stunned. “Such politeness, didn’t you say he was a Demon Sect powerhouse?”

“Family Head, please be careful with your words!”

Cheng Haichang’s face changed slightly.

Cheng Dou waved his hand, “No matter, I have already set up a Sound-isolating array method around Small Mirror Lake in advance. It might not be able to block a Golden Core Ascendant Master’s Divine Consciousness, but it can certainly provide an early warning. If he were eavesdropping, the array would shatter. As you can see, the array is still intact, which shows that the strong practitioner still abides by etiquette.”

This reassured Cheng Haichang.

He let out a sigh of relief, “The senior indeed seems to have principles, but his actual ways do not resemble those of the Righteous Path at all.”

“What do you mean by that?” Clan Head Cheng Dou showed a keen interest in listening.

There was too little information mentioned in the earlier Sound Transmission Talisman.
