Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1415: Chapter 529: Demon King Qingyang, I Want It All!_2

In her line of sight, a tall, beautiful woman slowly approached.

She seemed lost in thought, completely oblivious to the gazes of the outside world.

The occasional furrow of her brows only added to her beauty, lending her a touch of delicate sorrow.

Not until she had completely disappeared into the depths of the manor did the long line of people begin to murmur softly amongst themselves.

”That must be Fairy Haixin!”

”It has to be; with such a tall and outstanding figure, and a look of vulnerability that invokes pity, she is indeed among the top beauties of the 36 Flying Swallow Islands.”

”Brother, you’re being too superficial if you’re just looking at her face. Isn’t Fairy Haixin most acclaimed for the terrifying talent she displayed by achieving Foundation Establishment at the age of thirty-six?”

”Yes, after the century calamity, the Flying Swallow Islands were in constant turmoil until stability returned thirty years ago. In these thirty years, very few have successfully established their foundation. Fairy Haixin’s rise against the odds, establishing the Cheng Family’s prestige with seven members reaching Foundation Establishment, truly commands our respect.”

”With time, Fairy Haixin could very well reach the peak of Golden Core. Everyone, we can chat, but we must be careful with our words!”

”Right, right, right, do not discuss the affairs of Immortal Clans!”

Cheng Haixin, seen by outsiders as a proud immortal fairy, was utterly indifferent to the conversations behind her.

At this moment, all she could think about was Luo Chen’s attitude.

He didn’t want anything?

What did he want, then?

Before long, she arrived at her elder brother Cheng Dou’s door.

It seemed he knew someone was coming; the door opened automatically.

Cheng Dou saw Cheng Haixin and was slightly displeased—why had she come back?

Cheng Haixin, of course, knew what her elder brother was thinking but said nothing, instead relaying the previous events in detail.

Cheng Dou’s face initially lit up with joy, but he quickly fell into contemplation.

What did Elder Qingyang want?

No, rather, what could their Cheng Family offer him?

Ideas churned in his mind and after a moment, Cheng Dou forced a bitter smile.

”What could our mere Foundation Establishment Family have that would interest a Golden Core Ascendant Master?”

”Nothing at all!”

Cheng Haixin was stunned, ”Ah!”

Cheng Dou shook his head, ”To say nothing is not accurate; in reality, we must offer everything. In other words, to ask Elder Qingyang to act, our Cheng Family must submit to him without reservations, to be at his beck and call, providing whatever people or possessions he desires. That’s all there is to it!”

Cheng Haixin’s expression changed instantly, ”Such behavior, isn’t that the style of a demonic figure? I had thought he was indifferent to beauty and adhered to principles, I believed he had the demeanor of a gentleman.”

Cheng Dou sighed, ”He is indeed from the Path of Demon; even if he were a gentleman, he would be nothing but a Demon Monarch.”

Demon King Qingyang, huh?

Cheng Haixin said somewhat helplessly, ”Then we...”

”Give!” As if he was already prepared, Cheng Dou clenched his teeth and spoke resentfully, ”Whatever he wants, we will provide. Even if the Cheng Family has to act like dogs, a master always gives bones to his dogs. Given the way he conducts himself, he should allow me to reach the Golden Core Period in the future.”

Cheng Haixin expressed her worry, ”Big brother, isn’t it too risky to put everything on a stranger who is a Golden Core Cultivator?”

”I have no other choice!” Cheng Dou sighed deeply, ”Besides, things have come to a head; I have no say in it anymore, nor do you.”

The wolf had entered the house!

When one’s realm is surpassed, they have no say in any matter.

By the Small Mirror Lake, the siblings faced each other in silence.

On the Sea-viewing Cliff.

Luo Chen held a roll of bamboo slips, reading them at a leisurely pace.

After reworking his fighting system, his current methods were no weaker than during the Open War period.

Additionally, with his realm now at the Third Layer Golden Core, the might of his various methods had become even more formidable.

With strength came confidence, and with confidence came the mental capacity to study other things.

Starry Pills were no longer sufficient to support his upcoming cultivation.

The fact that the elixir’s attributes did not align with those of the fire element was one reason.

Another reason was the complexity and the vast amount of required ingredients.

Given the abundant resources of the North Sea, if he had enough manpower, they could indeed gather everything needed. But managing that was not so simple.

Back in the Yu Ding Realm, Luo Chen’s Luotian Sect had a group of pharmacists and Pill Refinement apprentices raised from childhood, whose beginner job was to process various ingredients, thus sparing Luo Chen the tedious tasks.

Now, that wasn’t feasible.

And Luo Chen didn’t trust others!

The pills he refined were for his own consumption!

He could inspect the raw materials for any problems,

but if the processed materials still had issues, then the trouble would not be minor.

Thus, no matter the reason, the Starry Pill no longer met his requirements.

Regarding this, Luo Chen had another solution!

He would switch to a different type of elixir, one more in harmony with his own attributes and with both primary and auxiliary materials being relatively less.

That was the pill formula Luo Chen had in hand—the True Flame Pill!

Originating from the Flame Alliance, it was a Third Order fire attribute elixir!

In the four-hundred-year history of the Yu Ding Realm, this pill had remained obscure, and even within the Flame Alliance, few were willing to refine or consume it.

The reason lies in its overbearing power and the boundless trouble of its side effects.

After taking the True Flame Pill, a force of baleful fire would linger within the body.

This baleful fire from the pill’s properties was elusive, with Qi Power struggling to dissolve it, and long-term use would cause irreversible damage to the Sea of Qi.

Exactly because this baleful fire was part of the pill’s effect and not pill poison, conventional Poison Expelling Techniques struggled to neutralize it.

This was the reason for the lack of circulation of the True Flame Pill.

However, Luo Chen, after his research, had ways to overcome these drawbacks.

The domineering nature of the pill was mainly reflected in its impact on the physique; with his early stage Ancient Desolation Physique strength, he could fully withstand this impact.

And as for the so-called baleful fire property, he had two preparations.

One was the integration of the ”Cleanse Origin Pill Formula” with the ”Dust Origin Technique,” and the other was the Fourth Order ”Slaying Dragon Technique.”

With a dual approach, he refused to believe that he couldn’t resolve the calamities caused by a mere Third Order elixir.

Once he had made up his mind, the next course of action was simple.

Study the pill formula and get started as quickly as possible.

Find suitable people to gather various materials for him, for the massive production of the True Flame Pill.

This was also one of the reasons he continued to stay temporarily in the Flying Swallow Islands.

Its remote location and relative lack of Golden Core Experts on the islands made it ideal for him to develop his power.

After reading through the True Flame Pill formula once more, Luo Chen put away the bamboo slips.

He took out a handful of Spirit Feeding Pills from his storage ring and casually threw them into the sea below Sea-viewing Cliff.

Looking at the Blue Ring Giant Fang Sea Snakes, which swam back from all around to scramble for the Spirit Feeding Pills, Luo Chen pondered the reaction of the Cheng Family.

He was not asking for nothing—he wanted everything!

With Cheng Dou’s cunning, he should be able to see through it.

At an impasse, or better said with no other choice, he would surely agree.

And Immortal Cultivation Clans were, in fact, the easiest to control and the fastest to form into a force.

With numerous clan members, blood ties, and a fixed residence, they would not wander unless the family was destroyed and its members scattered.

Add to that, there were no blood relations, mentorships, or friendships between him and them; their connection was not deep, and in the event of any issues, he could simply walk away.

Such a force would not bind himself and was exactly what he needed.

”They should be making their decisions by now!” Luo Chen murmured with a slight smile, clapped his hands, and waved to send away the Blue Ring Giant Fang Sea Snakes that had eaten their fill, reforming them into a defensive formation around Sea-viewing Cliff.

He let the sea breeze beat against his face, lifting his black hair into the air.

”Now, I should consider how to deal with that Yan Nantian.”

Turning around, Luo Chen’s deep gaze was cast toward the center of the islands, thousands of miles away, onto the island in the middle of the lake.

Yao Yue Island!

Flying Swallows encircling, inviting the moon at the lake’s heart.

Vast Black Fog, enveloping a ten-mile radius, creating an absolute forbidden area on the Flying Swallow Islands.

Both mortals and Immortal Cultivators were forbidden to set foot there.

With Luo Chen’s knowledge, he could naturally discern that the vast Black Fog was a massive scale of Ghost Qi.

Even among it, roars of Ghost King Level existences occasionally resounded.

To enter Yao Yue Island, one must first break through the Ghost Mist Formation, set up with a Soul-Refining Flag as the Array Eye.

Luo Chen assessed his own methods, finally letting his gaze settle on a blood-like, fiery, viscous substance in the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

”Since Core Formation, after expending countless manpower and resources of the Luo Tian Sect as well as my own energy to nurture, this Fierce Fire Miasma should also have its field of application.”
