Chapter 97: The beginning of a contradiction!

This request of Qin Fei made Old Man Chen shook his head resolutely.
"No!"
Old Man Chen said loudly, his tone more solemn than ever.
"Why?" Qin Fei didn't understand, didn't he just help the Qin family when he needed it? With the ability of the alchemy association, this is easy to do. With the alchemy association's backing, I believe how many people will sell the Qin family's face.
"Good apprentice, this is not because the teacher does not help you, but our alchemist association has an iron rule that no one can use the power of the alchemist association to develop personal power! Especially in the business area, you must never touch it. Yes! Otherwise, if you find out, you will live in the Alchemy Association at least, and your life will be hard to save!" Old man Chen said sternly.
Qin Fei was stunned. He didn't expect that the Alchemist Association had such a and unreasonable regulations.
Looking at the four of Ao Tian, ​​they also had serious expressions. Obviously, what Old Man Chen said was true.
"Master, this is too unreasonable! This is because the resources of Chi Guoguo are not used, it is a waste!" Qin Fei dissatisfied.
"Oh... you don't know a lot of things! In that case, I might as well tell you all. Anyway, you are already a member of the Alchemist Association, and you have also conflicted with Xuanwu Temple. You should know some things. !" Old man Chen pondered for a while, and said with a very serious expression.
In Qin Fei’s doubts, he slowly said, in a deep tone: "Let me tell you a story. Eight hundred years ago, a powerful alchemist established the alchemist association. His original intention for establishing the association was, It was to protect the alchemists. In those days, the alchemists were not as respectful of them as they are now. The fate of the alchemists at that time was very miserable! People were greedy for the pills made by the alchemists and tried their best. Many alchemists die in the struggle between people. The human heart is greedy and ugly. They kill chickens and get eggs for self-interest. Um... This analogy may not be appropriate, but the real situation is like this. People regard our alchemists as Look at the chicken that lays golden eggs.
"Alchemists were very rare in the first place, and there were still refiners at that time. The status of the alchemists was really embarrassing. People think of them only because we can make the pill they need. Not as respectful as it is now.
"Especially in the Xuanwu Temple at that time, the oppression of the alchemist was the most crazy. I can’t wait to enslave all the alchemists to obtain the medicines they need. During hundreds of years of oppression, a great alchemist appeared and he created The alchemist association united all the alchemists to resist people’s oppression. When the alchemists in the empire united, earth-shaking changes occurred. Many powerful men were gradually born. That great alchemist also communicated with the merchants. The alliance started to sell and sell the medicines publicly, which enabled the Association of Alchemy Masters to quickly grasp a huge wealth. I said that human nature is greedy. Whichever side has profit, choose which side. The Association of Alchemy Masters has huge wealth. After that, they refined more medicines and accumulated the amazing wealth of the rich world, and openly recruited martial practitioners as followers of the alchemy, and asked them to provide protection to the alchemy, and the alchemy provided them with the pill they needed. medicine.
"This is a bargain between interests. People are moved. People who oppress the alchemist quickly become followers of the alchemy, because as long as they provide protection, they can get the pill that they need. Those followers Naturally, serving the alchemist wholeheartedly, the strength of the Xuanwu Temple was greatly reduced, and the alchemy association quickly grew, and it seemed to be an existence that could compete with the Xuanwu Temple.
"The Xuanwu Temple naturally could not see that the forces under its control were divided by the Alchemist Association, so it launched a massive war, but the result was that at the beginning of the war, the empire came forward to prevent the Xuanwu Temple's war provocation, and declared Dan in a high profile. The division became a legal existence recognized by the empire.
"This is the balance technique that the emperor's family is good at. Before the Alchemy Hall appeared, the Xuanwu Temple was the dominant family. The empire had lost control of them. It was the Alchemy Association who was born, and the empire saw the suppression of the Xuanwu Temple. The opportunity for growth is actually well known to everyone, but Xuanwu Temple has no way to oppose it. When the Alchemist Association has the support of the empire, Xuanwu Temple will not be able to overcome any storms.
"Since then, the Association of Alchemists has taken a rapid pace of development. With the acquiescence of the empire, in just thirty years, the founder of the Association of Alchemists has led the alchemists to rapidly develop and control all the wealth of the empire. At that time, the Alchemist Association used up almost 90% of its business. All industries were controlled by the Alchemist Association. The monthly net profit of the Alchemist Association even exceeded the total fiscal year of the Empire at its peak. income.
"In this way, the empire panicked, and it was very dangerous for the alchemist association to grasp the economic lifeline of the empire, so the empire quietly set out to attack the alchemist association and openly supported the emergence of another organization, that is, refining equipment. Teachers’ Association! Also known as the Iron Fort!"
Hearing this, Qin Fei's face changed, and being able to hear Iron Fort from Old Man Chen couldn't help but subconsciously change color.
Old man Chen did not notice his changes, and continued to say in a deep tone: "The appearance of the Iron Fort has developed faster than the Alchemist Association. Profound tools are the most indispensable for martial artists, and they are more important than the elixir. Many, Xuanwu Temple has always maintained a close relationship with the Iron Fort, so the development of the Iron Fort has also received strong support from the Empire and Xuanwu Temple. Soon the strength of the Iron Fort was equal to that of the Alchemist Association.
"The alchemists at that time didn't care. In fact, the alchemists didn't mean to compete with the empire. Although they knew that the appearance of the iron castle was a tool developed by the empire to contain itself, they didn't think deeply about it. Fortunately, at least the Empire will no longer have any fear of the Alchemist Association.
"But how can the alchemists who have never asked about political affairs understand the emperor's heart? The Iron Fort developed, just when everyone thought that everyone maintained a delicate balance with each other, an incident completely changed this calm situation!
"The founder of the Alchemist Association died and was assassinated. All parties were shocked. The association fell into unprecedented anger and panic, because the founder is the backbone of the association. Without him, the association does not know what to do. Where to go.
"The empire came out to investigate and announced to the public that no murderer was found, but the alchemists did not give up easily. After public inspection and unannounced visits, it was discovered that the murderer turned out to be Iron Fort, and the Xuanwu Temple was also suspected.
"The Iron Fort and Xuanwu Temple both denied this suspicion. Naturally, the alchemists were unwilling and launched an attack on both. The alchemists association at that time took out all of the family property, so that people could really see the alchemy association. The true foundation is that the rich is inferior to the country. The amazing wealth has made the martial artists come to help, and the Xuanwu Temple and the Iron Fort have been defeated. Because of this, the empire has seen the horror of the Alchemist Association. This is an unchanging truth throughout the ages. With the temptation of wealth, members of the Xuanwu Temple and the Iron Fort have turned to each other and become the help of the Alchemist Association.
