Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1407: Chapter 526: Qingyang_4 Chapter 1407: Chapter 526: Qingyang_4 He needed to know more about that mysterious powerhouse so that he could make arrangements for the upcoming reception and even consider whether to notify the Lord in the center of the Flying Swallow Islands.

Next, Cheng Haichang recounted to Cheng Dou the matters of the Xintian Sea Area one by one.

From major to minor, nearly every detail was included without omission.

“Flames resembling the Green Sun Devil Fire.”

“The technique of confusion and bewitchment.”

“Extremely attentive to information about the Yuan Mo Sect.”

“According to what you’re saying, there is a significant possibility that this person is a disciple of the Yuan Mo Sect who wandered abroad in his early years. Having not returned to the North Sea for many years, he’s even unaware of the Sect’s downfall.”

“Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that he is a powerful foreign cultivator who crossed the vast oceans to travel to our North Sea.”

Cheng Dou analyzed the information and made some deductions.

Then, he inquired in detail about Luo Chen’s preferences and personality.

Cheng Haichang provided corresponding answers according to his judgment, although not much information was available in this regard.

After a while, Cheng Dou’s eyes lost their look of hesitation and showed firmness.

“Based on what you said, this person acts in an overbearing and incomparable manner, yet he inquires about information from all parties, which shows he is a ruthless character who strategizes before acting.”

“Especially since he came to the Flying Swallow Islands and did not visit Nan Tian Upper Master first but chose to come to us, this supports the idea even more.”

“Regardless, we must entertain him properly!”

“Go send someone to prepare the best Spirit Meal and take out a jar of the Huancheng Liquor that has been sealed for two hundred years.”

Cheng Haichang was taken aback, “That Huancheng Liquor is the Spirit Wine you plan to use to assist with your Core Formation when you break through to the Golden Core Period, Family Head. Even when Nan Tian Upper Master took over the Flying Swallow Islands, we did not present a jar, just a gourd.”

Cheng Dou shook his head, “I alone will form my core and won’t need that much. And you are all in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, far from Core Formation. Taking out one jar is nothing. The most important thing is to entertain this person well.”

“Why? Perhaps he is just a passerby, temporarily residing on Black Swan Island.”

Cheng Dou smiled slightly, “The way he inquired about the news of the Flying Swallow Islands doesn’t seem like the attitude of a passerby in a hurry. Oh, and have Seventh Sister prepare as well. She will accompany me when the time comes.”

Cheng Haichang’s complexion changed.

“Family Head, Xiao Qi is only at Foundation Establishment!”

“Just do as I say!” Cheng Dou’s smile vanished instantly, and he glared at him fiercely.

Cheng Haichang clenched his fists but soon understood.

The Family Head must have a scheme in mind and was willing to do anything for it; how could the clan hold him back?

Cheng Haichang took his leave and began arranging various hospitality matters.

Cheng Dou, after straightening his robe, personally set out to welcome the visitor.

…

Outside the island, Luo Chen’s expression shifted slightly.

The conversation between Cheng Haichang and Family Head Cheng Dou fell into his ears without missing a word.

His Divine Consciousness was already immensely strong, and he had cultivated the Sound Isolation Technique to the level of Finalization in his early years. Additionally, he had mastered the Obscure Restriction of the Seven Basic Restrictions.

Combined, a mere sound-isolating array method couldn’t stop him at all.

Unbeknownst to gods and ghosts alike, he was eavesdropping on the other party’s conversation.

At that moment, Luo Chen’s eyes revealed a thoughtful look.

“No wonder Cheng Haichang showed such loyalty to the late Yuan Mo Sect when he saw me; he mistook me for the remains of the Yuan Mo Sect!”

“Green Sun Devil Fire?”

A flame appeared in his palm, and the corners of Luo Chen’s mouth lifted slightly.

Indeed, this Prosperity and Decline True Fire did somewhat resemble the Green Sun Devil Fire.

He had once obtained a Cultivation Technique that described the Green Sun Devil Fire.

This flame was not naturally occurring but artificially created.

It required a vast amount of the Blood Essence of living beings and was concocted with Secret Techniques of the Path of Demon–quite malevolent and strange.

In battle, it had a powerful ability to corrupt the Magical Weapons and Treasures of cultivators.

However, such man-made flames depleted with use and needed replenishment after battles, not comparable even to a single hair of the Prosperity and Decline True Fire.

“In that case, I might as well go with the flow!”

Luo Chen muttered to himself, his eyes already picturing the figure of Cheng Dou, in white robes with wide sleeves fluttering.

From a distance, Cheng Dou quickened his pace, jogging over.

“My apologies for not meeting a senior of your stature sooner; please forgive me!”

“It’s fine, I don’t mind these details.”

Luo Chen smiled faintly, appearing even taller in his black attire than Cheng Dou.

His gaze briefly swept behind him, where no other Cheng Family Cultivators were to be seen.

It seemed Cheng Dou had come out to welcome him alone, also seeking to keep the news of his arrival circulating within a certain limit.

After bowing respectfully, Cheng Dou carefully raised his head,

“If I may be so bold, may I ask for the esteemed name of the senior?”

The corners of Luo Chen’s mouth curled slightly as he spoke clearly:

“I am Qingyang!”
