"Do you know why Wei Cang and I are incompatible?"
Long Chen was shocked. He also wanted to know, but he was too embarrassed to speak about such a thing. Now that Master Yunqi mentioned it, it naturally aroused his curiosity.
Through Master Yunqi's narration, what Long Chen didn't expect was that Yunqi and Wei Cang were actually brothers. Their teacher had a total of three disciples in his life.
In addition to Yun Qi and Wei Cang, there was also a female disciple. That female disciple, Yun Qi's wife, was the person in the portrait that Yun Qi showed Long Chen, and she was 90% similar to Xia Baichi.
Yunqi and the others' master was an expert hermit. Nearing his old age, he accepted the three of them as disciples and taught them the art of alchemy.
The three of them have extremely high alchemy talents, especially Yunqi, who is the best among the three. He is loved by the master and teaches him with all his heart.
However, people always have jealousy, especially Wei Cang, who came from a humble background and has been cynical since he was a child. This aspect is particularly intense.
But he kept suppressing it and did not show it, until one day, their master was old and nearing the end of his life, so he called Yunqi to him and handed him a nameplate.
"Haha, the grudge between Wei Cang and I started from this nameplate."
Master Yunqi sighed, and a copper nameplate appeared in his hand. As soon as the nameplate appeared, the whole room immediately heated up, like a piece of red-hot iron.
Long Chen looked at the nameplate. On the front of the nameplate was engraved an exquisite alchemy cauldron, with thousands of rays of light all over it, making it look extremely lifelike.
On the back of the nameplate is a landscape pattern. There is a valley between the mountains and rivers. The surrounding fairy air is hazy and hazy. Looking at the pattern, Long Chen's mood suddenly seemed to become clear.
"This is the relic left by my master to me. Because of it, our senior brother turned against me and my beloved wife died as a result. Alas."
Master Yunqi fumbled for the nameplate in his hand, with a complex expression on his face, a hint of resentment, and a hint of desolation.
Long Chen didn't know what to say. Master Yunqi calmed down his emotions and continued to tell Long Chen.
Originally, when his master handed the nameplate to Yun Qi, there were only two of them and it was extremely hidden. However, I don't know how Wei Cang learned about the existence of the nameplate later and started asking Yun Qi for it.
Yun Qi refused, and Wei Cang tried hard and hard, but saw no results. He was no match for Yun Qi, so he finally extended his black hand to their junior sister.
Master Yunqi and his junior sister had been secretly in love for a long time, but Wei Cang plotted against her and threatened Yunqi with her life.
But what people didn't expect was that the little junior sister was usually soft and weak, but she was very strong in her bones and actually committed suicide in a fit of rage.
This made Wei Cang panic. Yun Qi couldn't help but have a murderous intention at that time, and finally burst out, intending to cut Wei Cang into thousands of pieces to avenge his junior sister.
However, although Wei Cang's attainments in alchemy were far different from Yun Qi's, his combat power was only slightly inferior to Yun Qi's.
Knowing he was outmatched, Wei Cang fled all the way. Yun Qi chased him thousands of miles away, but Wei Cang still escaped. In the next thirty years, Yun Qi kept inquiring about Wei Cang and wanted to avenge his junior sister.
However, Wei Cang was extremely cunning and refused to show up. He asked experts to kill Yun Qi from time to time. During that time, Yun Qi was ambushed several times and almost died.
Later, Yun Qi woke up from his hatred. If he continued like this, not only would he not be able to take revenge, but he would actually lose his life.
So he relied on his powerful alchemy skills to join the Alchemist Guild and became the president, temporarily putting aside his hatred.
But just a few years ago, Wei Cang suddenly appeared, and his identity turned out to be the president of the Alchemist Guild.
Although thirty years have passed, the hatred has not diminished a bit, and the two have fought fiercely several times.
Over the years, Wei Cang has worked hard to practice the Yin Sha Poison Palm, and there have been several fierce battles. Although Yun Qi was slightly better, there was nothing he could do to him and he escaped.
In the past two years, the fights between the two have become less and less. The main reason is that they both understand each other's details and there is no need to waste their efforts. Unless they can find a way to kill with one blow, neither one is willing to take action.
"Aren't you very curious, what exactly is this nameplate worth fighting for?" At this point, Master Yunqi asked.
Long Chen nodded. He was really curious about the origin of this nameplate that made Wei Cang so crazy.
A trace of ridicule appeared on Master Yunqi's face: "Wei Cang actually doesn't know what this is. I originally thought it was a secret technique left to me by my master, but in fact it is just an ordinary nameplate."
"An ordinary nameplate?" Long Chen couldn't help but be surprised. Just for an ordinary nameplate, he actually killed his lover?
"Yeah, it's just an ordinary nameplate. It's actually useless. But it was Master's relic at the time. I was ordered to keep it, but there was nothing I could do.
Originally, I couldn't resist Wei Cang's teasing, and I was about to hand the things over to him for safekeeping, but who knew, he would actually reach out to his junior sister..." Yun Qi's face was full of anger and murderous intent.
At the same time, Long Chen also saw regret and self-blame on Yun Qi's face. For a piece of useless garbage, he had hurt his lover. If it were Long Chen, Long Chen would probably go crazy.
"This nameplate is actually a certificate for studying." Master Yunqi took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued.
"Certificate?" Long Chen couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yes, this is the proof of studying in the Holy Land of Alchemy - Alchemy Valley. As for Alchemy Valley..., forget it, let's not talk about it, it's too far away.
You just need to know that that is the highest belief in the mind of alchemy cultivators. No one in our barbaric land knows that place at all.
I have been carrying this thing for decades, and now I hand it over to you." After saying that, he handed the nameplate to Long Chen.
"Master, you must not do this. This is what your master left for you. I don't dare to accept it," Long Chen hurriedly waved his hand.
"This is not what Master left to me, he asked me to pass it on, and even if I give it to you, you may not be able to use it," Master Yunqi said with a smile.
"how?"
"Although this nameplate is a stepping stone, it has no strength. You can't even find the door, let alone knock on the door." Master Yunqi said with a bitter smile:
"I told you just now that the Alchemy Valley is a holy place in the minds of all alchemy practitioners, how could it be so easy to enter.
You have this nameplate, but you still need to have matching strength to use it, otherwise it will still be useless."
"What strength do you want?" Long Chen asked.
"If you become an Alchemy King before you turn twenty, you can use this nameplate to sign up," Master Yunqi sighed.
When Long Chen heard this, he opened his mouth. Boss, Alchemy King? Twenty years ago? Is this telling a story?
A figure like Master Yunqi, who has been practicing for nearly a hundred years, is only a 20-year-old Alchemy King at the peak of his alchemy master. Isn't that a joke?
No wonder Master Yunqi showed such an expression. He risked his wife's life for such a thing. Anyone else would go crazy.
Long Chen suddenly understood that since the death of his junior sister, Master Yunqi had tightly guarded this secret just to take revenge on Wei Cang.
He was always thinking about the "treasure" in Yun Qi's hands. He was so seduced that he couldn't even sleep, and he kept deliberately trying to deal with him.
Xia Baichi's appearance was probably for this treasure. When Long Chen's appearance and Master Yunqi's attitude towards Long Chen made them alert.
Therefore, he wanted to kill Long Chen so that Master Yunqi would have no successor, and Wei Cang could not get it, so that the "treasure" would completely rot in the hands of Master Yunqi.
Thinking of this, Long Chen couldn't help but dumbfounded. What was this all for? It was really God's will to trick people.
"Although you are extremely talented, it is a pity that you were born in this remote and wild land without the inheritance of a large sect, so your chances of using this nameplate are very slim.
But it’s good to have a chance. When my master gave me this nameplate, he told me to find someone to pass it on to me.
Some of his ancestors had entered the Alchemy Valley, and this nameplate was also their honor, so he hoped that one day, a genius would bring this nameplate and enter the Alchemy Valley again.
For this promise from Master, I have paid too much. Now that I pass it on to you, it can be regarded as throwing away this burden." Master Yunqi said with a complicated look.
It can be said that this nameplate changed his life, but this change was a complete tragedy.
He even said that he had a trace of resentment. He didn't know who to direct this resentment to, Master? Wei Cang? Himself? Or God?
Fate was like a boring controller, playing a big joke on him, but the result made people unable to laugh.
He stretched out his hand to take the nameplate and became the Alchemy King at the age of twenty. If others have no hope, it does not mean that Long Chen has no hope.
"Thank you, Master" Long Chen said respectfully.
"I should be the one to say thank you. By handing over this nameplate, I have completed Master's mission. I can let go and do some things," Master Yunqi said with a smile.
Long Chen was shocked: "Master... you..."
As if he had seen through Long Chen's thoughts, Master Yunqi smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's not as bad as you think. I won't die with Wei Cang. Doesn't that mean I lose?"
Hearing what Master Yunqi said, Long Chen was relieved. If he took the nameplate, Master Yunqi would let Wei Cang fight and die together, and he himself would not feel comfortable.
For that old pervert, to hook up with someone like Master Yunqi is really trying to kill a rat with blue and white porcelain.
"My child, there are not many things I can teach you, but you are the most promising person I have seen in all these years who can use the nameplate. You have to work hard." Although Master Yunqi didn't want to say more, he still endured it.
He kept nagging.
If Long Chen can enter the Alchemy Valley, for alchemy cultivators, it will be like ascending to immortality. Is there anything more exciting than this?
"Don't worry, master, my disciple will definitely continue to work hard."
Although Master Yunqi did not accept Long Chen as his disciple, in the past he was afraid of causing Long Chen a fatal disaster. After all, Wei Cang was watching.
Nowadays, the relationship between Long Chen and Wei Cang is known all over the world. Long Chen simply calls him a disciple to express his respect for this elder.
Before leaving, Master Yunqi told Long Chen to be careful at all times to prevent the other party from jumping over the wall in a hurry. Long Chen nodded in agreement.
After leaving the Alchemist Guild, I headed straight home. Now I feel better and can go home safely.
When the front turned and looked towards the door of his home, Long Chen couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
