Chapter 929: Chapter 531: Igniting the Galaxy_2
He was an Elder, yet he had reduced himself to surveilling Humans.
What’s more, the enemy who had shad the Johnson Family was right in front of him, and yet he could do nothing but watch his every move, which was even more painful than killing him.
The Fifth Elder had always been indignant and had never looked kindly upon Logan.
However, surveillance was still necessary, and he wished to observe closely what exactly allowed this boy to harm the branch family and ascertain his true capabilities.
Now, hearing that this boy could perform Alchemy had already taken the Fifth Elder by surprise.
After eavesdropping on their conversation, the Fifth Elder grew even more curious about the matter.
He knew of the elixir recipe, a formula that was quite precious.
No one in the whole Family Clan could produce it, so could this boy really do it?
The Fifth Elder was puzzled, but it did not hinder his desire to uncover the truth and probe the depth of this Man’s confidence.
Afterward, he followed Logan to a room arranged by a wealthy family.
Logan dismissed everyone, but forgot about the Fifth Elder with a magical treasure capable of concealing his presence.
He quietly poked a small hole to observe the situation inside.
Inside, Logan had already prepared an array of dicinal ingredients and began the official alchemy process.
First, he brought out his alchemy furnace, positioning it in the center.
The mont the furnace cauldron appeared, the Fifth Elder’s eyes lit up.
He was not one to have shortsighted views; almost at first sight of the furnace, he gleaned the value of the item.
Indeed, judging by the robust Spiritual Power, the furnace cauldron was certainly a fine object.
Next, Logan started the alchemy process.
His actions were decisive and swift, so fast that the Fifth Elder couldn’t catch the details.
This surprised him slightly about the Man’s talent.
This Man’s talent was truly formidable, swiftly handling the dicinal ingredients and injecting them rapidly into the alchemy furnace.
Was he that confident?
As it turned out, those with true skill possessed such confidence.
Shortly after, the Fifth Elder slled a fragrance of dicinal herbs. Success, was it a success?
Such rapid success was indeed a huge shock for the Fifth Elder.
From his upbringing, alchemy was known as a profound art.
Without the sa Spirit Vein or talent, one wouldn’t get very far.
Even entering the field involved a long path to follow.
Explosions in the furnace or ruined ingredients were common occurrences for an Alchemist.
But this boy had succeeded so smoothly.
His face bore no pressure, not even a hint of urgency could be detected.
Moreover, his actions were swift and decisive, unlike other alchemists he had seen who were ticulously careful with proportions; none of that seed necessary for him.
It took only a mont before the furnace produced the finished elixirs.
At a glance, they were of high quality, even emitting a faint luminescence.
The Fifth Elder’s breath grew heavy.
To encounter such a heaven-defying boy with such an extraordinary talent!
For a mont, the Fifth Elder experienced a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentnt, almost enough to overwhelm him entirely.
His remaining rational mind also recognized an excellent treasure.
The furnace cauldron.
He hadn’t expected the cauldron to accumulate Spiritual Energy during alchemy, a phenonon unheard of before, as there had never been such a cauldron.
If he could get his hands on such an object, perhaps he could transform from a novice into an alchemy expert overnight.
The more the Fifth Elder thought about it, the more excited he beca, eager to seize it for himself.
Even if he didn’t use it himself, presenting it to the clan would ensure a significant rit in his na.
Then who would dare to belittle him or assign him such lowly tasks?
The Fifth Elder had completely forgotten his initial disdain as he daydread about the wonderful life he could lead in the Johnson Family after snatching the furnace cauldron.
He had to have it.
But if possible, he wanted to avoid the attention of the Family Clan.
After all, once presented to the clan, he would gain nothing for himself.
But if he used it secretly for himself, that would be a huge profit.
For this reason, he knew that his family clan was watching him, so he abandoned his ties with the family and quietly changed his identity for himself.
Taking advantage of this identity, he took the initiative to co to Logan’s Elixir Pharmacy, planning to cozy up to people.
“Young Master, I heard that you fulfilled the elixir request for that wealthy family in town. Despite your young age, your talent in alchemy is truly extraordinary!”
As he said this, his eyes were actually probing him, subtly and covertly.
This kind of scrutinizing gaze made Logan slightly uncomfortable.
At the sa ti, he also sensed sothing off about this person.
He had received many custors, but this one was different from the others.
Despite his best efforts to disguise it, he couldn’t fully hide that trace of arrogance, a natural flaw of those in higher positions.
This person certainly wasn’t the ordinary old man he pretended to be.
His identity must be extraordinary, and he seed to have a rather bad temper as well.
He wanted to approach him disguised as an ordinary old man, yet was unwilling to truly lower himself.
Logan smiled, finding the person quite interesting. What could his purpose be?
In the absence of clarity about the other’s intentions, Logan didn’t mind sparring with him a bit.
He lowered his eyelids, assuming a modest and courteous manner.
“You flatter too much. I wonder if this custor has any elixirs to be concocted? Our store offers good quality for a low price. Most importantly, the quality is guaranteed to satisfy you. If the custor wishes to trade with , then there’s no problem at all.”
The Fifth Elder listened, a dark flicker passing through his eyes before quickly hiding it.
“Hahaha, I must confess, I am also an alchemist. If possible, I wonder if I could beco friends with you, young friend? The elixirs you make are of a high grade, and I believe there are many aspects I could learn from.”
This was the first ti the Fifth Elder actively lowered his stance to get close to Logan.
He even unprecedentedly placed Logan in a slightly higher position than himself.
In fact, this also made it slightly easier for the other party to let their guard down.
Logan saw through this, knowing the man was deliberately lying.
However, he didn’t expose him; instead, he nodded in agreent.
Heh, things were getting more interesting. He wanted to see what this old man wanted by getting close to him.
At that mont, Little Flower in the space suddenly woke up and warned him.
“Owner, I’ve sensed so malice. The person standing before you seems to harbor ill intentions towards you.”
Perhaps because Little Flower could absorb Demonic Qi, it had a strong perception of certain dark elents.
When it sensed overt malice, it could imdiately alert Logan.
As it spoke, Little Flower even moved its leaves a bit.
“Owner, do you want to deal with this bad person for you? I promise, I’ll drain his blood cleanly, and no one will find out.”
After speaking, it made a very human-like sly sound, appearing like a little demon.
Logan: …
“There’s no need for now. We’ll spare this person’s life for a mont as he still has so use. I want to observe the reason he’s approaching . Little Flower, don’t act rashly.”
Little Flower responded with an “Oh,” seemingly a bit disappointed, but it didn’t say anything more.
“Alright then. But when you do want to take care of this baddie, make sure to leave it to , okay? I can help clean up for you afterwards, owner.”
Knowing this was a gluttonous flower, Logan curved his lips but didn’t say much more.
In the following days, the Fifth Elder ca to approach Logan from ti to ti.
Initially, he didn’t reveal any particular intent, as if he really just wanted to make friends.
However, he would inquire about Logan’s background covertly and overtly, prying into his affairs.
Logan was aware of the man’s purpose and revealed just a little.
Of course, it wasn’t the whole truth. He mixed half-truths with lies, telling him what he wanted to hear.
As expected, he saw the man’s joy intensify along with the growing sinister look in his eyes.
Clearly, the man was harboring so intentions and was likely to act soon.
Then one day, the Fifth Elder suddenly sought him out.
“Young friend, I would like to have an alchemy contest with you. What do you think?”
Logan’s gaze flickered slightly. Was it ti, using alchemy as an excuse?
“Of course.”
He agreed readily without much hesitation.
Having waited so long, the old fellow was finally making a move. He could finally unveil the man’s true face and expose his secret.
