== Story ==
=== Wei Cang ===
Yun Qi has deep enmity with Wei Cang.
Long Chen was startled; he actually had wanted to know this; however, such a thing was too embarrassing to ask about. But now that Yun Qi had brought it up, it naturally evoked his curiosity.
Yun Qi began to tell him a story. From it, Long Chen learned that Yun Qi and Wei Cang had actually been fellow apprentices. Their master had taken three apprentices in his lifetime.
Other than Yun Qi and Wei Cang, there was a third, female apprentice. That person had been Yun Qi's wife, the woman in the drawing he had shown Long Chen who looked just like Xia Baichi.
Their master was a reclusive expert, and only in his final years did he take three apprentices and pass down his refining techniques.
Those three had been extremely talented at refining pills, especially Yun Qi. He had been the best amongst the three, and their master did everything to teach him.
But jealousy was a constant part of human nature, especially for Wei Cang who came from humble beginnings. He had felt extremely bitter and cynical about his master's preferential treatment of Yun Qi.
He had always suppressed those feelings and never displayed them until there finally came a day when their master had reached an extremely great age and his life was about to end. He had called Yun Qi to his side and given him a tablet.
The enmity with Wei Cang stemmed from a bronze tablet. The entire room became warmer when that tablet appeared.
Carved on the tablet was a delicate pill cauldron with thousands of rays of light coming from it, appearing extremely lifelike.
The other side had a scenic picture on it. There were mountains and water, and between them was a valley. Immortal qi hazily curled around its surroundings, and just looking at it caused Long Chen's mind to become much brighter.
"This is what my master left me. Because of it, us fellow apprentices ended up quarreling, and my loving wife was implicated and died."
Originally, their master had given it to Yun Qi secretly, and only the two of them had known of it. But somehow Wei Cang had learned of its existence and began to demand it from Yun Qi.
Yun Qi refused no matter how Wei Cang wheedled him. Seeing that his attempts produced no results and since he wasn't a match for Yun Qi, Wei Cang finally turned a sinister hand towards their junior apprentice-sister.
Their junior apprentice-sister had already expressed her affection for Yun Qi in secret, and Wei Cang had hatched a plot around her, using her life to extort Yun Qi.
But no one had expected that their usually gentle junior apprentice-sister was actually extremely resolute and upright inside. She had killed herself rather than bring Yun Qi down.
This panicked Wei Cang; Yun Qi's killing intent had exploded, shaking the heavens. He had wanted to tear Wei Cang into a thousand pieces as revenge for his junior apprentice-sister.
But although Wei Cang was much weaker than Yun Qi when it came to refining pills, in terms of combat ability, he was only slightly weaker.
Knowing he couldn't beat Yun Qi, Wei Cang had fled. Yun Qi had chased him for thousands of miles but Wei Cang still escaped in the end. Over the next thirty years, Yun Qi had never stopped inquiring after news about Wei Cang, always wanting to get revenge for his junior apprentice-sister.
But Wei Cang was extremely crafty and never revealed himself. He even occasionally requested experts go kill Yun Qi, and over that time, Yun Qi was attacked several times and almost died.
Finally, Yun Qi awoke from his hatred. If it continued on like this, then he would not only be unable to get his revenge, he would even lose his life.
By using his powerful pill refining arts, he had entered the alchemist guild and become a guild chairman, temporarily laying down his vengeance.
But just a couple of years ago, Wei Cang had appeared again, and he had also become an alchemist guild's chairman.
Although over thirty years had passed, that hatred hadn't lessened in the slightest and the two of them had fought many times.
Wei Cang had honed the Yin Fiend Poison Palm over those years. In their battles, Yun Qi always came out slightly ahead, but he was never able to end him, so Wei Cang always managed to flee.
Now, the number of their battles had lessened in the past two years. That was because both of them had found out all of the other person's trump cards, and so there was no need to waste energy. Unless they could find a way to finish the other off in one blow, neither wished to go do battle again.Chapter 49
