I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head - Chapter 1492

1492 The Age of Martial Arts
After a while, a middle-aged man walked out of the courtyard. This man was wearing a violet robe and slowly walked up to Chu Yunfan.

“Sword Young Master.” The man’s expression was indifferent. He only nodded lightly when he saw Chu Yunfan.

Chu Yunfan glanced at the man. This man’s cultivation had reached the Core Form Stage. He was instantly speechless. Since when did the Core Form Stage become like cabbage? He could see them everywhere.

“May I know how I should address you?” Chu Yunfan said.

“I’m the president of the Alchemist Association, Wang Dong.” The man smiled.

Chu Yunfan was stunned. He had seen the presidents of the other three kingdom’s Alchemist Associations before, so there was only one possibility—this man was the president of the Alchemist Association’s main branch. He came to a realization. No wonder this man had such shocking cultivation. He was actually such a high-ranking person.
The Alchemist Association was spread all over the world, and it had branches in the three powerful kingdoms. Its strength was unfathomable, and its president was in the Core Form Stage. This was not surprising.

After all, a powerful martial artists might not necessarily be a powerful alchemist, but a powerful alchemist would definitely be a powerful martial artist.

If there was no Core Former to oversee it, what right did the Alchemist Association have to extend its tentacles to the three strong kingdoms? The three strong kingdoms had to give him face and did not dare to act rashly.

The president of the Alchemist Association was a master of alchemy. In addition, he was a Core Former. The three powerful kingdoms might not be willing to provoke such an existence.

“Greetings, President Wang!” said Chu Yunfan. Wang Dong was rarely spoken off, but he had heard a lot about the Alchemist Association. “Why have you called me here today?”

“Do you still remember what the Yunshan City’s branch president and you spoke of back then?” Wang Dong went straight to the point.

Chu Yunfan recalled that the president of the Yunshan branch had told him that he needed his help, but at that time, he said to not worry too mch about it.

“I remember. Is it related to the Violet Thunder Sword Sect?”Chu Yunfan said.

“Do you not know what’s happening here?” Wang Dong looked at Chu Yunfan in surprise. He thought that Chu Yunfan had followed the clues, but who knew that Chu Yunfan didn’t know at all? This made him quite surprised.

“I don’t. I only came here by accident,” Chu Yunfan said.

To be more precise, he was chased here by the khan and had no idea where he was.

“That’s works out well.” Wang Dong glanced at Chu Yunfan and admired him even more. He thought that Chu Yunfan had followed the clues and found his way here, but he had actually come here by accident.

What did this mean? It meant that Chu Yunfan had great luck protecting him. Some people would trip over gold when they walked out, while others would get a facefull of water. This was the difference in luck.

Everyone’s luck was different. Of course, the experts who could cultivate to this level were basically one in a billion. If they were placed in the country of ordinary people, they would be chosen ones of Heaven. No matter what difficulties they encountered, they would be able to turn misfortune into good luck. In the end, they would be the people who dominated the world.

Even among cultivators, there were not many who had such luck. Although luck could not dominate everything, some people relied on talent, some relied on hard work, and extraordinary willpower could increase their luck.

But to some extent, luck was more important than hard work, willpower, talent, and other cultivation factors. It was just like how some people had been in seclusion for 50 years without breaking through, while others had met an old man who imparted his cultivation to them after going out for a walk. They had become the top experts in the world in minutes.

Wang Dong naturally understood this. He knew that one couldn’t just look at luck, but to underestimate a person with great luck was to fail miserably. Chu Yunfan was only in his twenties, but he already had such cultivation. His sword cultivation was earth-shattering, and he could be called the overlord of a generation.

It was normal for such a person to be guided here when they got lost.

“I heard that you have the Violet Thunder Swords’ sword token, Sword Young Master?” Wang Dong asked.

“That’s right, I do have the sword token,” Chu Yunfan admitted.

He knew that this matter could not be hidden. When he had transformed into Jian Wuchen, he had been so ostentatious. How could he hide it? Moreover, with his current cultivation, he was not afraid of others finding out. If others wanted to snatch it, it would depend on whether they had the ability.

“Then there’s nothing wrong with this.” Wang Dong nodded, but he was still a little surprised that Chu Yunfan could admit it without hesitation. This was not the courage of an ordinary person. “This matter is related to this token to a certain extent. How much you know about the Violet Thunder Swords, Sword Young Master?” Wang Dong asked.

“I only know a little. The Violet Thunder Swords once ruled this land,” Chu Yunfan said.

“That’s right, the Violet Thunder Swords did indeed once rule over this land. At that time, they were very powerful. There were over a million disciples of all kinds, and there were countless experts among them. Even those in the Core Stage weren’t that impressive at that time. It was an era when martial arts were at their peak,” said Wang Dong, “After that, the sect suddenly declined, and then there was the frequent replacement of the various kingdoms, all the way until now.”

“It suddenly declined? Why? How could a sect with millions of disciples suddenly decline?” Chu Yunfan was a little curious about how powerful a sect with millions of disciples was. He didn’t even dare to think about it.

Even in the Federation, such sects did not exist. Just the disciples alone numbered in the millions. If one were to include some of the internal and external handymen of the sect, as well as the relatives of the disciples, and so on, some sects could even build their own exclusive armies. The population that this sect could control would probably exceed tens of millions.

If one was to include the peripheral forces, it could indeed be considered a rule.

Although there was indeed a difference in the number of people controlled compared to the current large countries, the way a sect ruled was different from the way a country ruled. For a sect to be able to control so many people was indeed shocking.

After all, the requirements of the sect were much lower than that of a country. They would not require the rule of all aspects of the people. As long as they could ensure that they could continuously recruit disciples and collect taxes, it would be fine.
