"Yao Lao, although I know that your alchemy skills are at the top of the continent, I am a little curious. What tier of alchemist were you at that time? Are there many alchemists on the continent who have achieved the same level as you?”
Donghuang Ziye was a little curious. Although he knew that Yao Lao was a top alchemist in the continent, he did not know what tier Yao Lao was.
"Sigh…"
Yao Lao sighed. He seemed to have recalled some bad memories and slowly began to narrate them to Donghuang Ziye.
"The number one alchemist on the continent!"
Donghuang Ziye was a little shocked. He did not expect Yao Lao to be a tier 9 alchemist and was even crowned as the number one alchemist in the continent.
That was the number one alchemist on the continent. The Dou Qi continent was vast and boundless. There were countless experts. To be able to possess the title of the number one alchemist on the continent, one could imagine just how powerful Yao Lao's alchemy skills were back then.
"Ke ke, although I am known as the number one alchemist on the continent, there are countless experts on the Dou Qi continent. There are definitely many alchemists who are more powerful than me. However, they no longer care about this false reputation. Otherwise, the number one alchemist on the continent would definitely not fall into my hands.”
Yao Lao laughed at himself. Although he was extremely confident in his alchemy skills, he was not conceited. He knew that there were some truly powerful existences on this continent. Those powerful existences had already chosen to hide themselves. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to obtain this title.
"Perhaps there are people who can surpass Yao Lao in terms of alchemy skills. However, Yao Lao, the fact that you are known as the number one alchemist on the continent can already explain many problems. At the very least, among those who have been born, no one's alchemy skills can compare to yours.”
"Haha…"
Yao Lao chuckled and did not dwell on this question.
"This clan of yours is not simple. There are actually people from the ancient clans and there are even two elite Dou Huangs hidden within it.”
Yao Lao seemed to have seen something as he chuckled and spoke to Donghuang Ziye.
"Yao Lao should be talking about Xun Er and the others. They are members of the Gu clan.”
"Little fellow, you actually know about the Ancient race? Looks like I've really underestimated you. You really have quite a few secrets hidden within you. I really want to open you up and properly study what you're hiding.”
"The Drug Lord will know about this in the future. Let's call it a day. I'll go cultivate first.”
Donghuang Ziye quickly changed the topic. Then, he walked to his bed and sat cross-legged, starting to cultivate.
Yao Lao stroked his illusionary beard. Since Donghuang Ziye did not want to say, he would not ask. After all, it was not the right thing to do if you kept asking when others did not want to say.
Moreover, they would be together in the future. She believed that as time passed, he would slowly understand these things, right? There was no need to rush, right? Yao Lao watched as Donghuang Ziye began to cultivate. After which, he slowly returned to his ring.
Alchemist was the most honorable profession on the Dou Qi continent. It could be said that as long as you became an alchemist, then no matter where you went, you would become the object of envy and flattery of everyone.
Alchemists, as the name implied, were able to refine all kinds of magical medicinal pills that could increase one's strength. Any alchemist would be tried their best to rope in by various factions at all costs. Their status was extremely prominent.
Alchemists were able to enjoy such treatment because alchemists were extremely rare. Wanting to become an alchemist, the conditions were extremely harsh.
Firstly, one must be of the fire attribute. Secondly, there must be a trace of wood energy mixed in the fire body to act as a catalyst for refining medicine.
It must be known that the attributes of a human body on the Dou Qi continent were determined by their soul. A soul would forever only possess one attribute and would not have any other attributes. Therefore, it was basically impossible for a body to possess attributes that were of different strengths and weaknesses.
Of course, nothing was absolute. Among billions of people, there would always be some mutated souls, and these people with mutated souls had the possibility of becoming alchemists.
However, merely possessing a fire and wood attributed soul was still unable to become a true alchemist. This was because there was another essential condition for an alchemist. Soul Perception!
When refining medicine, the intensity of the fire was of utmost importance. Sometimes, the intensity of the fire would turn the entire furnace of medicinal pills into ashes, causing all previous efforts to be wasted. Therefore, learning how to control fire was something that alchemists had to learn.
However, if one wanted to control the flame well, then one would need a powerful spiritual perception. Without this, no matter how good the materials and Heavenly Flame were, it would be impossible for one to successfully refine a medicinal pill.
Under these various harsh conditions, people who had the qualifications to become alchemists were naturally as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, extremely few. With fewer alchemists, those magical medicinal pills were naturally even fewer. The rarer an item was, the more valuable it was. Therefore, it created the incomparably noble status of alchemists.
Of course, this was what was said on the Dou Qi continent. Donghuang Ziye scoffed at these words. Which self-cultivator had not been able to refine pills? Although he was not cultivating those powerful cultivation methods, it was enough for Pride.
Moreover, he still had the soul realm of the peak Yuanying stage. With the soul realm of the peak Yuanying stage, refining medicinal pills was not difficult for him at all.
Speaking of alchemists, then one had to mention Armament Masters. If one were to say that alchemists were a noble profession on the continent, then Armament Masters were a commoner profession on the continent.
Why was it said that Armament Masters were the commoners 'occupation on the continent? Could it be that the weapons refined by Armament Masters were not powerful? Could it be that the status of Armament Masters was very low?
In fact, this was not the case. Many powerful Armament Masters also had the noble status of an Alchemist. The reason why Armament Masters were considered a commoner occupation was because there were too many Armament Masters. Alchemists were extremely rare and only occupied a small portion of the continent. However, there were many Armament Masters, and they were almost a profession that could be seen everywhere.
Other than those true Armament Masters, the status of the other Armament Masters was generally not high. It was because there were too many Armament Masters. If you didn't forge it for me, there would naturally be others who would help me forge it.
The other biggest reason was that the strength of Armament Masters was generally relatively low. In this Dou Qi continent where the strong were respected, without strength, one would naturally not be respected by others.
Why were there so many Armament Masters? Because the threshold to become an Armament Master was relatively low and the income was decent, many people who could not improve their strength chose this profession.
It was precisely because many people chose this profession that led to the current awkward position of Armament Masters. Of course, the status of those artifact masters who stood at the top of this field was not low at all. It could even be said that they were as noble as high-level alchemists. After all, the weapons they forged were incomparably powerful.
However, there were only a few people who stood at the top. Most of them were Armament Masters who could only forge ordinary weapons. There were countless Armament Masters like this on the continent, so their status was naturally not high.
Alchemists were different. Even if you were only a grade 1 alchemist, those small families would treat you as a distinguished guest and treat you well. Because you can refine pills that can help them increase their strength and power, no family will refuse to increase their own family's strength.
This was because alchemists were really too rare. Many families and sects did not have alchemists at all, let alone grade-1 alchemists.
As an alchemist who could turn the rotten into the miraculous, no force would be too much. As long as you became an alchemist, even if you did not join any force, those forces would still be polite to you. This was the status of alchemists on this continent.
