Chapter 115 The Disciple Who Killed His Master
“You have almost never left the Gama Empire, and you are not familiar with some of the forces on the continent.”

Not only was Yun Yun unaware of this, but even Queen Medusa knew very little about the forces outside the Northwest Continent.

The Northwest Continent is not like the Central Plains; it is relatively barren and has little contact with the outside world, making it a relatively isolated region.

Yang Chen's gaze swept over Queen Medusa and Yun Yun, then landed on Zi Yan. He reached out and gently stroked Zi Yan's hair, speaking softly.

"The most powerful forces on the Dou Qi Continent are almost all located in the Central State, and the more prominent human forces in the Central State are known as the One Tower, One Palace, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Pavilions!"

Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa's eyes flickered slightly. She keenly noticed that Yang Chen had used a special term—human forces.

In other words, in Zhongzhou, there are also magical beast forces that are no weaker than those obviously powerful human forces!
Both she and Zi Yan are magical beasts, and according to ancient records, the snake people seem to have come from the distant Central Continent.

"Among them, the 'one tower' refers to the Pill Tower, which is the holy land in the hearts of all alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent. It is also the power with the highest overall strength, prestige, and reputation."

In terms of pure strength, the Pill Tower is naturally inferior to the Soul Palace, at least in terms of high-end combat power. However, when comparing the two forces together, the Soul Palace is still inferior to the Pill Tower without relying on the Soul Clan.

Alchemists are not people to be trifled with, especially high-level alchemists. Not to mention, the Pill Tower is a force composed of a group of high-level alchemists, so its influence is quite terrifying.

"Below the Pill Tower lies the Soul Hall, whose reputation is comparable to that of the Pill Tower, but it is infamous."

"The Soul Hall is a notorious force because they like to hunt down alchemists or powerful individuals with strong souls and extract their souls. The Soul Hall will stop at nothing to hunt down souls, and they especially like to cooperate with some vicious and ruthless people."

Yun Yun's pupils shrank involuntarily, especially the second half of the sentence, which made Yun Yun's heart skip a beat. Her intuition told her that this notorious force was the same force behind her teacher.

A vicious and wicked person? What could be more despicable than murdering one's master?

Queen Medusa's eyes narrowed, and her face turned cold. She became wary. Yang Chen was a high-level alchemist, and a highly talented one at that. He would inevitably be targeted by the Soul Palace in the future.

"Speaking of the Pill Tower and the Soul Palace, one cannot help but mention a legendary figure in the world of alchemists, the Medicine Venerable, Yao Chen, known as the number one alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent!"

If Yao Chen were here, he would definitely jump out in anger and berate Yang Chen for being a heartless bastard and for making such a fuss about nothing.

"The Venerable Medicine Master, Yao Chen?"

"The number one alchemist on the continent?"

Yun Yun and Queen Medusa's expressions changed slightly. To be able to use the title of Venerable means that he is definitely a Dou Zun powerhouse, not to mention that he is known as the number one alchemist on the continent.

"Father, is this Yao Chen more powerful, or are you, Father, more powerful?"

Zi Yan blinked her eyes and asked curiously.

"Even now, I cannot compare to the Medicine Master's alchemy skills."

Yang Chen reached out and touched Zi Yan's hair. As if he had thought of something, a smile appeared on his face. This girl Zi Yan had definitely met Yao Chen before, but she just didn't know it herself.

"Father, what happened to Yao Chen later? Could he have been killed by that Soul Palace?"

Zi Yan pressed for an answer, but Yun Yun, standing nearby, could guess that Yao Chen had most likely met with misfortune, and it was even very likely related to his disciple. Yang Chen gently ruffled Zi Yan's hair, but instead of answering the question immediately, he softly began to recount Yao Chen's life story.

"The Medicine Venerable Yao Chen can be described as a legend. He once defeated many alchemy masters to win the championship in the continent-wide alchemy competition held by the Pill Tower. Afterwards, he became one of the three giants of the Pill Tower, honorary elders, and one of the chosen ones."

"Why does this alchemist competition at the Pill Tower seem somewhat similar to the alchemist tournament of the Gama Empire?"

A look of surprise flashed in Queen Medusa's eyes. Yang Chen smiled upon hearing this but offered no explanation.

How could it not resemble? The Alchemist Conference was created after Fa Ma became the president, and its origin is the Alchemist Competition of the Pill Tower.

When Fa Ma was learning from Yao Chen, he heard Yao Chen talk about the Pill Tower, so he learned it. However, because the Jia Ma Empire is small, it cannot have an age limit like the Pill Tower, so it changed the age limit to under thirty.

"This Medicine Venerable became famous throughout the world, and naturally the Soul Hall took notice of him. However, the Medicine Venerable had friends all over the world, and with his great strength, the Soul Hall found it difficult to take action against him."

"So, how did this Medicine Master die in the end?"

"According to Han Feng, the renowned Medicine King of the Black Corner Region, who was raised by him and was his only disciple at the time, the Medicine Venerable died when the pills went out of control and the furnace exploded, causing a backlash!"

Yang Chen sneered, and before Yun Yun could think further, Zi Yan pressed for an answer.

"Father, is it that bastard from Fengcheng before?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Hmph, next time I see him, I'm going to beat that damn guy to a pulp!"

Zi Yan waved her little fists forcefully, her face flushed with anger. In the past, she would never have dared to say such a thing, but now, she was already at the peak of the Dou Wang level, and was only half a step away from becoming a Dou Huang.

"Haha, good. When we return to the Black Corner Region, feel free to make your move!"

Yang Chen chuckled softly, but Yun Yun, standing to the side, showed no smile at all.

The number one alchemist on the continent died from the backlash of his alchemy furnace. Do you want to hear how absurd and far-fetched this excuse is?
This inevitably reminded Yun Yun of the death of her ancestor, Yun Yang—who failed in his seclusion to break through to the Dou Zong realm, ultimately suffering a qi deviation and dying from the reversal of his qi and blood.

At that time, Ancestor Yunyang had already attempted to break through to the Dou Zong realm. Furthermore, based on some of the cultivation insights left behind by the Ancestor, it can be seen that the Ancestor was already at the half-step Dou Zong realm.

"Can I know why?"

Yun Yun pursed her lips gently. In fact, she already knew the answer in her heart, but she just found it hard to accept.

"Why? Because my father was once hailed as the most promising genius to reach the level of Ancestor Yun Potian. He was the successor to the sect leader in the eyes of everyone in the Yunlan Sect. And the young sect leader at that time was Yun Shan, who had already experienced the test of the Gate of Life and Death."

Yang Chen's voice was completely flat, chillingly cold.
