Chapter 94 Yao Chen's Encounter
Back in his room, Xiao Feng carefully examined the storage ring in his hand, gradually becoming lost in thought: "This storage ring contains not only what I want, but also Yao Chen's soul, which is hidden within it. As far as I know, Yao Chen was able to awaken entirely by absorbing Xiao Yan's Dou Qi."
"So the initial disappearance of Xiao Yan's fighting spirit was unintentional on his part. He was still unconscious and had no idea what was happening outside, let alone what he had done. This situation was entirely due to his instincts. Later, although he woke up, he did not immediately stop absorbing Xiao Yan's fighting spirit because he had already developed a fondness for Xiao Yan and wanted to take him as his disciple."
"It's just that because of his previous painful experience, his requirements for his disciples are no longer just about talent. Character, personality and so on are also things he has to consider. For this reason, he made an unexpected decision."
"Because Xiao Yan was too arrogant before, he received too much praise and benefits that he shouldn't have received, so he became a bit arrogant and haughty. As a result, during the time his fighting spirit disappeared, he truly saw human nature and the coldness and warmth of human relationships."
"With the idea of training Xiao Yan and tempering his mentality, Yao Chen absorbed Xiao Yan's Dou Qi for three years in a row, making Xiao Yan endure three years of humiliation. Of course, during this period, he also controlled it very well, neither making Xiao Yan's strength too high nor making his Dou Qi in his body completely disappear, keeping it just right at the level of the third stage of Dou Qi."
"Although Xiao Yan suffered unprecedented humiliation and setbacks during this period, his character was also tempered and improved. The benefits that these three years of humiliation brought him are simply unimaginable!"
"Xiao Yan has only just begun to cultivate, and Yao Chen must still be unconscious. But what should I do with him? Should I kill him directly, or should I subdue him?" Xiao Feng was hesitant.
"Hey, what else is there? Why hesitate? With my strength and status, I can do whatever I want. Why worry so much? Just do whatever you want." Having figured all this out, he immediately felt enlightened.
"In that case, let's keep Yao Chen. He is, after all, an eighth-grade alchemist, and he's a shoo-in for becoming a ninth-grade alchemist in the future. Although the Xiao Clan has alchemists, the highest they've reached is only eighth-grade. There are no ninth-grade alchemists. If we could have another ninth-grade alchemist, it would be a huge help to the Xiao Clan and would allow the clan to grow stronger much faster!"
"Moreover, as a former member of the Medicine Clan and a veteran eighth-grade alchemist, Yao Chen possesses many unknown prescriptions, which is a tremendous fortune!"
"However, his identity might cause some trouble." Thinking about this, his thoughts began to wander, and he started to recall.
"You should know that Yao Chen's identity is not simple. Yao Chen was originally a member of the Yao Clan, one of the eight ancient races. However, due to the thin bloodline of the Dou Di in his body and various other reasons, he was expelled from the Yao Clan by the Yao Clan elder Yao Wangui and became a discarded child of the Yao Clan."
"What was unexpected was that Yao Chen, after leaving the Medicine Clan, did not become disheartened or lose his fighting spirit. On the contrary, his fighting spirit became even stronger. After hundreds of years of hard work, he finally succeeded in becoming an eighth-grade alchemist, and his status was at the top of the Dou Qi Continent."
"However, because Yao Chen's strength is not very strong, he has not reached the Dou Sheng realm, but is only at the Dou Zun realm. Therefore, he is also respectfully called the Yao Zun by the world. Since we have taken Yao Chen in, we must be prepared to oppose the Yao Clan. After all, the hatred between Yao Chen and Yao Wangui is not easy to dispel."
Yao Wangui is a minor character; after all, he's only a four-star Dou Sheng. Xiao Feng could easily crush him with a flick of his finger. It's unlikely the Yao clan would risk a life-or-death conflict with Xiao Feng and the entire Xiao clan over a single Yao Wangui.
"So the trouble caused by Yao Chen's identity is not that great, but the trouble caused by his experience may be greater. As a famous eighth-grade alchemist on the continent and a Dou Zun realm expert, Yao Chen can be said to have both fame and status, and no one would dare to easily make a move against him."
"How did Yao Chen die? Actually, someone attacked him, but the identity of this person was something no one expected—it was Yao Chen's disciple, Han Feng!"
"Han Feng was an orphan taken in by Yao Chen. Seeing his exceptional talent in alchemy, Yao Chen wanted to take him as a disciple and keep him by his side. However, in the process of teaching Han Feng, Yao Chen also witnessed Han Feng's obsessive and crazy side, so he was still very worried about him."
"But Han Feng was still his disciple. Others couldn't bear to expel him from the sect because of the bad things he had done, so they only punished him slightly a few times. But it was these punishments that Han Feng remembered and developed resentment."
"And what happened next completely enraged Han Feng. Yao Chen passed on the cultivation technique he obtained from the ancient ruins to Han Feng, namely the 'Burning Technique'. After practicing this technique and experiencing its wonders, Han Feng became even more eager to learn it. Unfortunately, what Yao Chen passed on to him was only a part of the 'Burning Technique', not the complete version."
"In order to obtain the complete 'Burning Technique,' he began to curry favor with Yao Chen, showering him with attention. Yao Chen, however, already had a clear understanding of Han Feng's character, and the reason he hadn't given him the complete 'Burning Technique' was to test him. Therefore, no matter what Han Feng did, Yao Chen never wavered. This attitude of his completely ignited the madness in Han Feng's heart."
"Since Yao Chen won't give it to him, then he'll just snatch it!"
"To this end, he even contacted a powerful figure from the Soul Hall as an accomplice, working together from the inside to eliminate Yao Chen. The people of the Soul Hall are all people who will not act without self-interest, so they naturally would not help Han Feng for nothing. They coveted Yao Chen's soul power, so they conspired with Han Feng, one for Yao Chen's soul case and the other for the complete version of the 'Burning Technique' in Yao Chen's possession!"
"With the help of the Soul Hall experts, Han Feng successfully poisoned the unsuspecting Yao Chen and severely injured him. However, just when they wanted to eliminate Yao Chen completely, he desperately escaped!"
