Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1510: Chapter 561 The innocent man, guilty for possessing jade_2

With this development, even if Luo Chen himself is not a disciple of the Yuan Mo Sect, it’s worth Blood Nightmare Mo Luo to personally make the trip.

”Perhaps, he did more than just make a single trip.”

With a thought, a token appeared in his hand.

It was the Blood Nightmare Order!

Divine Consciousness enshrouded it, sensing a blood light surging like it was alive.

Han Zhan’s Divine Consciousness Voice Transmission entered his ears.

”Indeed, someone has activated this token. However, before we set out, I used a Secret Technique to obscure its signal, so they couldn’t locate your position through it.”

Luo Chen slightly nodded.

This was indeed good news.

At least, there would be adequate buffering time before his meeting with Blood Nightmare Mo Luo.

”Do you plan to meet with him?” Han Zhan asked.

During Cheng Haixin’s account of Blood Nightmare Mo Luo’s visit, it was mentioned that he left a message arranging to meet Luo Chen in Feileng City.

Calculate the days, it was precisely the ten-year terms mentioned by Wu Qi.

Luo Chen thought for a moment, replying somewhat somberly, ”We’ll see how it goes.”

Han Zhan chuckled, ”You lad, you’re not afraid to deal with cultivators of higher realms!”

Luo Chen tugged at the corner of his mouth; he truly wasn’t afraid much.

Throughout his journey, he was never short of companions higher in realm than himself.

Though it could be somewhat oppressive, as long as he managed that fine balance, it would not only be harmless – but infinitely beneficial!

As long as he didn’t directly provoke them, with his technical talents, he would be welcomed everywhere.

Or to put it another way, many technically skilled individuals, especially those with Mastery in Pill Refinement and Talisman Making, should naturally align themselves with major powers.

On the contrary, like his previous lone ventures overseas for hunting, was the anomaly.

Seeing Luo Chen unmoved, Han Zhan suddenly reminded, ”Demon Sect cultivators differ from orthodox cultivators in Eastern Wasteland; they are fickle and their actions unpredictable. If they mean harm, I may not be able to protect you.”

Luo Chen was taken aback.

It seemed from Han Zhan’s words that he didn’t want Luo Chen engaging with Blood Nightmare Mo Luo!

He was a bit puzzled, assuming the other party was just worried about him.

However, from the conversation, Luo Chen also discerned another piece of information.

That was, Han Zhan indeed had some trump cards, inadvertently suggesting he could ”protect” Luo Chen.

Not necessarily, but it did imply a certain possibility!

Luo Chen’s mouth curled upward slightly, not pressing for more details but redirecting his attention to inquire about other matters that had happened on the Flying Swallow Islands during his absence from Cheng Haixin.

The specifics were narrated in detail by Cheng Haixin, one by one.

The collection of medicinal ingredients was indeed continuously underway.

But clearly, as time without Luo Chen’s presence grew longer, the quantity of collected materials lessened.

This meant that other families had started to care less.

Such a shift was anticipated, and Luo Chen was not surprised.

After all, a Core Formation Secret Technique is not worth the bankruptcy of all cultivators.

Especially for smaller families with only one or two Early or Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were far from reaching a feverish stage for Core Formation.

Cheng Haixin had put it rather strongly.

From the implications of her words, it was likely also related to the threat to the status of Cheng Family, hence she slightly targeted the other families.

Seeing Luo Chen’s indifference, Cheng Haixin’s heart sank, her face showing a deeper shade of gloom.

”My elder brother failed his Core Formation breakthrough.”

Luo Chen was startled – that ambitious man failed his Core Formation?

That was somewhat unexpected.

Not the failure, but rather that he was in such a rush for Core Formation.

Calculating the time, he had only obtained the ”Green Sun Pill Scripture” for a few years, at most achieving Minor Accomplishment, and yet he rushed into Core Formation; failure was obvious.

Indeed, the hurdle of Core Formation is notoriously difficult to overcome.

Even among the Foundation Establishment Stage Friends Luo Chen knew, whether it was the ambitious Rogue Cultivator Chu Kui or the Sect True Disciple Dan Taijun, both fell short at the Core Formation stage, leading to Chu Kui’s regression in realm and Dan Taijun’s demise.

With Cheng Dou’s foundation being inferior to Chu Kui or Dan Taijun’s, his failure was only to be expected.

He simply said softly, ”Condolences.”

Cheng Haixin forced a bitter smile, pulling at the corner of her mouth.

”Fate dictates life and death; perhaps my elder brother was destined to part from The Great Dao Path – no one else is to blame.”

Luo Chen hmmed, casually inquiring who currently headed the Black Swan Island Cheng Family, to which the answer was Cheng Haixin.

However, the day-to-day affairs were being handled by the elder Cheng Ji, with Cheng Haixin merely holding the title of Family Head.

”This manner suits me to serve the Ascendant Master well,” Cheng Haixin said, bowing her head in loyalty.

Luo Chen looked at her with a playful scrutiny. Her tall figure had a pitiful air in such an atmosphere.

Now that she was head of the house, did she understand the value of grains and oils?

Therefore, she spoke and acted with even more respect than before?

She knew to flatter him and speak pleasing words.

Luo Chen chuckled lightly, waving a hand in dismissal.

”You may leave; I’ve returned from a long journey and need to rest.”

Cheng Haixin lifted her head, hesitating as if wanting to say more, but ultimately bowed her head and left the great hall.

After her departure, Han Zhan’s voice echoed in the hall.

”You’ve always been generous; she came acting pitiful, won’t you offer some benefits?”

”Heh, have I not given enough benefits already?”

”That’s true; allowing her to advance to the Fifth Level of Foundation Establishment in just over a decade, and providing a suitable Water Type Magic Item, even a Direct Disciple of a Major Sect wouldn’t receive much better treatment.”
