Chapter 930: Chapter 532: Is This the Dimensional Esophagus?
The Fifth Elder seemed very pleased.
“This place is crowded and inconvenient. I have a manor in the outskirts which has a pleasant scenery, and it’s not easily detected by people. No one will disturb us as we exchange alchemy skills there. What do you think about that?”
Logan readily agreed.
Seeing this, the Fifth Elder secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Heh, after some time, he had already figured out his strength.
He is at the Saint Seat Seventh Level, but this young man’s strength is below his.
As long as the two of them are alone, he is confident that he will certainly capture him.
The next day, Logan arrived at the manor as promised. There was no one else there, only the Fifth Elder.
When they were alone, the Fifth Elder revealed his true colors, looking utterly ferocious.
“Hmph, you’ve fallen into my trap, hand over the Furnace Cauldron or you’ll die!”

Seeing this person reveal his true colors, to tell the truth, Logan was not surprised.
Or perhaps he had been waiting for when this man would show his hand?
But he didn’t expect him to be so impatient, revealing his bottom line so quickly.
Logan’s gaze turned slightly cold, his eyes shifted, and a look of weakness appeared on his face.
“You, how could you be… at Seat Seventh Level! You are not some fallen alchemist, your strength is much higher than mine, and exceeds by so much, you… what exactly are you after?”
He had a look of panic on his face, with a bit of pallor, as if he was both apprehensive and afraid.
Logan was no stranger to such expressions, even finding them somewhat effortless to display.
After all, there were not a few who had shown such expressions in front of him.
Choosing one from those who had been defeated, he could easily imitate them.
The Fifth Elder seemed to fall for it, seeing the scared look on the young man’s face, he immediately threw back his head and laughed loudly, his face filled with triumph.
Logan’s expression, on the other hand, was somewhat indescribable; he observed the Fifth Elder carefully, stroking his chin, and muttered to himself.
When he faced people like this before, he shouldn’t have shown an arrogant expression like that of the Fifth Elder.
Hmm, probably not, as he usually kept a poker face during confrontations.
Logan breathed a sigh of relief; he couldn’t stand being like the Fifth Elder.
However, this man’s abilities were truly higher than his own, so he couldn’t take him lightly.
He pondered in his heart, feeling that under any circumstances he still had to test the man’s limits.
“Esteemed sir, your cultivation level is far above mine, and I can’t run away, but even if I am to die, I should at least die with a clear understanding. May I ask if you could tell me who you really are? When did you start coveting my Furnace Cauldron?”
He could be sure that he was very careful when using his Furnace Cauldron to concoct elixirs.
He never showed it in front of others and most people wouldn’t know of it.
But this man, not only knew about the Furnace Cauldron but also took the trouble to disguise himself to get close to him.
If it weren’t for a long-term plot, he wouldn’t believe it.
This man must have been watching him from the beginning.
Logan’s gaze deepened, his eyes appearing dark and inscrutable.
When exactly did this man start watching him, and what background does he come from, why is he targeting him?
The Fifth Elder thought he held all the winning cards and thus became inevitably complacent.
He also took Logan’s feigned weakness for real. Considering him a defeated subordinate, he didn’t take him seriously and blurted out.
“Heh, you’d never expect that I have been watching you for quite some time. At first, I was somewhat dissatisfied with this task given to me, an esteemed elder like me to actually stoop so low to watch a brat like you. But now, I see that you possess such fine items with you, it wasn’t a waste of the effort I’ve spent on you after all. It’s a gain indeed.”
“Kid, blame yourself for offending people you shouldn’t have…”
His triumphantly spoken words were cut off midway, the Fifth Elder froze, his complexion shifted, suddenly realizing something.
“Hold on, you little rat, you were clearly setting a trap for my words just now!”
Logan blinked, displaying an innocent expression.
“I don’t understand what you mean, senior. I merely wanted to be clear on a few things before my death. Is that one wish too much to ask?”
The Fifth Elder snorted coldly, his face half indifferent, half fierce.
“Hmph, who talks so much before they die? Brat, it’s surprising that despite knowing you’re courting death, you still dare to play tricks in front of me, trying to extract words from me. You’ll pay the price for your ignorance!”
The Fifth Elder’s disregard for others was one thing, but being played for a fool and losing in embarrassment was another.
He thought this person should be afraid of him, begging on his knees.
Yet, while the weakness on that face was expected, what followed was not.
He was not afraid of the Fifth Elder at all; rather, he was taking the opportunity to probe his intentions.
For the Fifth Elder, this was nothing less than a provocation, and a person as lofty as him couldn’t stand being challenged by someone lesser.
“Kid, you’ve successfully angered me. I was planning to leave you with a whole corpse, but now it seems you’ll only be a vessel in my alchemy furnace.”
Seeing this man showing killing intent and gathering Spiritual Energy in his hands,
Logan’s face gradually shed the façade of weakness and stopped playing that card.
His face returned to calm, and upon closer inspection, one could see a hint of mockery.
“What a pity, I had intended to draw some information from you, but I didn’t expect you to catch on so quickly. You’re really no fun.”
His relaxed demeanor suggested that what he was facing was not a formidable opponent, but an ant.
This attitude greatly irritated the Fifth Elder, partly due to how quickly he changed faces, and partly because he felt undervalued.
