Chapter 908

Immediately afterwards, he raised his head to look at the hemp‑clothed old man and asked, "Senior, may I ask who you are?"

Hehe, I am considered the ancestor of the Yaochen you mentioned before.

In response to his question, the old man gave a faint smile and then slowly revealed his identity.

Hearing this, Lin Feng first felt a slight doubt, but quickly he understood.

Yaochen was originally a member of the Medicine Clan, so the only one who could be called the ancestor of the Medicine Clan is

"Medicine Clan Ancestor, the Medicine Emperor!"

Gazing at the old man hidden within the hemp robe, his large hat obscuring his face, Lin Feng's throat twitched involuntarily a few times, and his voice trembled uncontrollably as he spoke.

At this moment, he knew full well that the mysterious old man before him was none other than the Medicine Clan's Dou Emperor ancestor from tens of thousands of years ago, the Medicine Emperor!

At the same time, he also understood why his cultivation on the Dou Qi Continent was not considered weak.

Why, before this opponent, he felt as insignificant as an ant.

It turns out that the opponent is that peerless powerhouse who vanished from the continent ten thousand years ago, a Dou Emperor!

"Uh‑oh, this Medicine Emperor suddenly appearing here—could it be that he's come to take revenge for my earlier bad attitude toward his descendant Yaochen and toward Han Shanshan, who is half a Medicine Clan member?"

Thinking back to what he had said earlier, Lin Feng's expression changed drastically as he secretly speculated.

"Little brat, you needn't worry; I am not a narrow‑minded person, so there's no need to fear that I will attack you."

The Medicine Emperor seemed to sense his expression, then gave a light smile, dispelling Lin Feng's worries.

"Huu~"

Hearing that, Lin Feng saw that the other party seemed to have no intention of attacking him, and he let out a great sigh of relief.

Facing such a legendary powerhouse, he also felt immense pressure.

Immediately afterwards, he clasped his hands in salute and said, "Senior, may I ask what brings you out?"

While speaking, he also gazed eagerly at the Medicine Emperor.

After all, the Medicine Emperor had previously promised that if he helped Yaochen and Han Shanshan, he would not let him suffer a loss.

Hehe, over countless years you are the first person able to enter here on your own. Therefore, I couldn't hold back and wanted to ask you about the outside situation—more precisely, the situation of the Medicine Clan.

As his words fell, the Medicine Emperor's hoarse voice slowly echoed across the sky.

Having spoken, the Medicine Emperor hidden beneath his large hat and robe slightly turned his head: "Little brat, rest assured, what I have promised will naturally not be void. Since you have helped my unworthy junior and that little girl, I, the Emperor, will not let you leave empty‑handed."

"Hehe, I knew that a senior Dou Emperor powerhouse would surely not toy with a lowly five‑star Dou Zun like me."

Seeing that he still remembered the earlier promise, Lin Feng immediately suppressed his panic and offered a flattering remark.

After all, the person before him is a legendary Dou Emperor powerhouse!

Even if a bit of something leaked from the opponent's fingernail, it would be enough to make this little Dou Zun's belly bloat!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng quickly began to describe the current state of the Medicine Clan.

"Senior, on the present Dou Qi Continent, most of the former imperial clans have been wiped out for various reasons, leaving only seven and a half Dou Emperor families still existing in the world."

As for the Yao clan you created, it is now one of them. According to what I know, within the Yao clan there are two alchemy masters who have a chance to refine ninth-grade profound pills, and not a few ninth-grade precious pill masters. As for those weaker, I haven't paid much attention, and I suppose the senior also doesn't bother to know, so I won't elaborate further.

Hearing this, the Yao Emperor nodded slightly, and then his somewhat disappointed tone once again slowly reverberated in this space.

These days, the Yao clan doesn't have any Emperor Pill Alchemists, or even the much inferior Golden Pill Alchemists, does it?

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng's mouth twitched involuntarily as he gave a wry smile and said, "Senior, you are unaware: on the Dou Qi Continent, the source qi needed to break through to Dou Emperor has been completely exhausted. Moreover, because the ascension channel of the Dou Qi Continent is blocked, the entire continent has not seen a single Dou Emperor powerhouse for over ten thousand years. During this time, countless outstanding predecessors have been stuck at the peak of Dou Saint due to lack of source qi, unable to break through until death."

That is also why many of the numerous Dou Emperor clans have exhausted their Dou Emperor bloodlines, either being slaughtered to the last by enemies or declining into ordinary forces. Consequently, the Dou Qi Continent now has no one capable of refining Emperor-grade pills from scratch.

As for ninth-grade golden pills, since I am still young, I am not entirely clear about past events. I have only vaguely heard that a thousand years ago on the Dou Qi Continent, golden pills still existed. But as to who exactly possessed them or which faction they belonged to, I have no way of knowing.

After hearing these words, the Yao Emperor's body also trembled slightly.

Afterward, his tone turned somewhat bitter.

I never imagined that the Dou Qi Continent would have become like this.

After a moment of sighing, the Yao Emperor immediately turned his head back to Lin Feng and said with a light smile, "Kid, go on."

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders and then said, "After finishing with alchemy, I will now talk about the Yao clan's combat strength. The current clan leader of the Yao clan is a late seven-star Dou Saint who also possesses a Heavenly Realm Great Perfection Soul; next comes a six-star Dou Saint–level elder, and a four-star Dou Saint–level elder. As for the other Dou Saint elders, most are at three stars or below."

As for the younger generation of the Yao clan, the strongest among them, due to scarce information, is currently estimated to be on par with me—a Dou Venerate. However, he has taken a ninth-grade precious pill personally refined by the clan leader, which is just shy of reaching the profound-pill realm; his star rating should be considerably higher than mine. Moreover, there seems to be a woman with a special constitution in the Yao clan who, it is said, has a great chance for her soul to smoothly enter the Emperor realm.

Therefore, in terms of the younger generation, the Yao clan is not weaker than any other forces outside the Soul and Ancient clans.

Facing the Yao Emperor, Lin Feng also hid nothing, basically laying out all the information he knew.

The Yao clan has actually declined to this extent?

Upon hearing that the Yao clan, as a whole, lacks even a Dou Saint peak or a ninth-grade golden pill, the Yao Emperor's tone grew even more bitter.

Looking at him, it seems he is not very satisfied with his own descendants.

However, I recall that the Soul Emperor old fellow broke through to Dou Emperor ten thousand years earlier than I did. Their Dou Emperor bloodline has not yet been exhausted; could it be that a new Dou Emperor has appeared later on?

Immediately afterward, the Yao Emperor, thinking of the Soul Clan that Lin Feng had mentioned before, couldn't help but ask again curiously.

Upon hearing his question, Lin Feng, eager to extract some treasure from him, quickly replied: "As far as I know, the Soul Clan obtained the Wu Nie Tun Yan many years ago. Later, in the battle that annihilated the Devouring Spirit Clan, they had the Wu Nie Tun Yan devour their clan leader. Thus, the current Wu Nie Tun Yan also possesses the ability to devour spirits."

Relying on this, they have slaughtered many Emperor clans to replenish their bloodline. Consequently, the Soul Clan's Dou Emperor bloodline is not only not exhausted, but has become even richer. They have even produced two of the rare divine-grade bloodlines that other Emperor clans see only once every several thousand years.
