Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1414: Chapter 529: Demon King Qingyang, I Want It All!

The information in the jade slip was not complicated.

It detailed the intelligence of the Ascendant Master who had taken over the Flying Swallow Islands.

His real name was Yan Nantian, originating from a Third Order large island known as Exhausted Swallow Island within an Immortal Cultivation clan in the Demon Territory in his earlier years.

Later on, a great calamity befell Exhausted Swallow Island, nearly annihilating the Yan family, with only the lineage of Yan Nantian surviving by a narrow escape.

Even so, formidable enemies continued to pursue the lineage of Yan Nantian.

During the pursuit, his lineage dwindled gradually until only Yan Nantian was left.

Nevertheless, he was a man of fortunate fate or rather, a man of ruthless character.

Not only did he survive, but he also grew increasingly strong, integrating his family’s Cultivation Techniques and even mastering the Soul Refining secret techniques from the Yuan Mo Sect.

After fiercely counter-attacking several pursuing enemies, he temporarily suppressed the enemy’s pursuit.

However, he was also wounded in the process.

To avoid being attacked by his enemies while weakened, he deliberately left the bustling area of the Demon Territory and quietly fled to the remote Flying Swallow Islands, declaring himself king.

His favored techniques were a sword, a thorn, and a Soul Banner.

The sword was his natal Magic Item, a Water Type Flying Sword he had refined early on.

The thorn was called Dividing Water Thorn, a Strange Gate Magical Treasure capable of the Water Splitting Dragon Transformation Technique.

The Soul Banner was the characteristic Soul Refining Flag of the Yuan Mo Sect’s Soul Refining Lineage, but unlike ordinary cultivators who refined Soul Banners with a large number of Sea Demon Souls, his flag incorporated a large number of Immortal Cultivator souls!

Inside were eight Soul Splits, all from Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators.

The sole main soul was remarkably a soul from a Golden Core Stage Cultivator!

It was precisely for this reason that Yan Nantian’s strength kept growing stronger in each battle, valiantly fighting increasingly fierce battles.

And his own realm was astonishingly at the Third Layer Golden Core, just a step away from the Middle Stage Golden Core.

After reviewing this intelligence, Luo Chen couldn’t help but marvel at the intricacies.

Clearly, these were not hastily gathered by Cheng Dou; they undoubtedly required a great deal of time and effort to collect gradually.

That is to say, this intelligence was not initially intended specifically for Luo Chen.

”Perhaps if I hadn’t come, he would have found a way to hire someone to deal with Yan Nantian, this towering mountain.”

”External reinforcements... the enemies who pursued the Yan family of Exhausted Swallow Island back in the days?”

Luo Chen slightly squinted his eyes.

He probably also understood why Cheng Dou believed he had the strength to confront Yan Nantian.

Calling himself Elder Qingyang, holding suspected Original Source True Fire similar to Green Sun Devil Fire, and paying extra attention to the Yuan Mo Sect’s intelligence, he was most likely a Yuan Mo Sect Cultivator.

With the strength of a Devil Dao Sacred Land Cultivator, dealing with a mere remnant of a family that escaped should be almost a sure success.

”But isn’t he afraid of making a wrong judgment, and if I fail, causing a disaster that could annihilate the Cheng family?”

Amidst his doubts, Luo Chen quickly answered his own concerns.

It seemed that Cheng Dou had been pushed to a desperate situation.

His opponent had stalled before reaching Finalization, unable to advance an inch, and the pressure of his realm had nearly driven him mad.

For this reason, he risked his family as a stake.

From the moment he first saw Luo Chen, he had even offered his own sister to woo him.

It seemed that he indeed possessed the courage for a desperate gambit.

”It is somewhat similar to my own situation during the Late Stage Foundation Establishment when dealing with the Flame Alliance.”

Luo Chen smiled faintly and put away the jade slip.

Seeing the smile that appeared on his face, Cheng Haixin, who had been silently observing, felt a surge of spirit.

Was this confidence?

A faint voice entered her ears, carrying Luo Chen’s nonchalant attitude.

”I have understood the situation, now I only have one question, which I need you to answer.”

The woman’s face showed joy, ”What is your question, Ascendant Master?”

”It’s simple, I am not opposed to dealing with Yan Nantian, but the question is, what will you offer me as compensation?”

Cheng Haixin instinctively said, ”The Cheng family has some savings, several hundred thousand Spirit Stones can still be brought out.”

Luo Chen shook his head, his fortune at its peak once reached tens of millions of Spirit Stones.

Even now, though his pockets were tight, he was not lacking these few hundreds of thousands.

”Magic Items...”

”Cultivation resources...”

”Cultivation Techniques...”

One after another, Cheng Haixin suggested terms she thought to be quite valuable, but all were met with a shaking head in denial.

Towards the end, even a thin sweat appeared on the woman’s face.

”Including myself, wouldn’t that be possible?”

Luo Chen looked at her with a half-smile, ”From the first day we met, haven’t you belonged to me already?”

Cheng Haixin bit her lower lip with her teeth, suddenly feeling a sense of powerlessness surging within her.

”Forget it, go back and have a good talk with your elder brother, think it over, and then come back to me with an answer!”

Luo Chen waved his hand, a breeze lifting the woman, sending her out of the Cave Mansion.

Boom boom...

The two stone doors slowly closed, leaving only the woman’s bewildered expression.

...

On Black Swan Island, mortals came and went, bustling with activity.

Due to a maritime disaster, the Cheng family’s Monster Hunting Ship had lost a large batch of skilled mortal crew members, and it was also the time for new recruitment.

Despite the high risks of working at sea, the high rewards offered by the Cheng family were irresistible!

Thus, this recruitment attracted quite a few formidable mortals from other islands.

The recruitment site was set up outside the Small Mirror Lake Manor.

From a distance, one could see a long queue of people.

Looking over, all the recruits were individuals with strong Qi-blood.

If classified by the standard of the Worldly Martial World’s realms, even the weakest among them had the strength of a second-tier warrior, with the strongest comparable to a Grandmaster-Level Existence.

Suddenly, a commotion stirred up at the end of the crowd, causing people in the front to turn back and look.
