As the number one alchemist on the continent and a peak powerhouse of the Nine-Turn Dou Zun, Yao Lao’s own strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, he is the most important guide on the path of cultivation of Emperor Yan. But who would have thought that such a glorious winner in life as Yao Lao had an unknown tragic life experience. Yao Lao’s real name is Yao Chen, which is taken from “May no one in the world be sick, and may the medicine on the shelf be dusty”. He was born in a humble branch of the Yao clan, and the Yao clan is located in the Shennong Mountains. It is one of the eight ancient clans and dominates the world with its alchemy skills. Almost all the people of the Yao clan are proficient in alchemy. There is a clan monument in the clan. Only outstanding disciples of the Yao clan can engrave their own and their parents’ names on the clan monument.
Yao Lao’s dream since childhood is to engrave the names of his parents on the clan monument. Yao Lao has shown a unique talent for alchemy since he was a child. Even among the Yao Clan, who are good at refining medicine, his talent is unmatched. At the age of 13, Yao Lao’s cultivation had reached the level of a six-star fighter. However, it was because Yao Lao revealed his talent too early that he touched the interests of the Yao Clan elders, which made his life in the clan difficult.
In a preliminary test of a medicine meeting, Yao Feng, the son of the second elder of the Yao Clan, replaced the medicinal materials used by Yao Lao to refine the elixir, causing Yao Lao to fail in refining the elixir. The second elder also instructed Yao Feng to frame Yao Chen for stealing the precious medicinal materials in the clan. Although Yao Lao tried his best to defend himself, the second elder was so powerful that Yao Chen was eventually expelled from the Yao Clan.
At that time, Yao Lao’s strength had just reached the peak of Dou Wang, and it was simply a pipe dream for a Dou Wang to survive in Zhongzhou. Moreover, there were wolves in front and tigers behind. Even though Yao Lao had left the Yao Clan, the second elder still pursued Yao Lao and asked about Yao Lao’s whereabouts everywhere, wanting to completely eradicate him. At the critical moment, Yao Lao met the demon princess Hu Jiujiu. This kind-hearted princess saved Yao Lao’s life. After that, Yao Lao lived a life of barely making a living in Zhongzhou. Until he met Feng Xian, the Wind Venerable, the two quickly established a deep friendship.
Yao Lao, whose living conditions gradually improved, became a disciple again. It was also at this time that Yao Lao met his junior brother Mu Gu Lao. Although they were brothers, the master appreciated Yao Lao very much and taught him everything he had learned in his life. But Mu Gu Lao was resentful about this. Not long after, Yao Lao and Mu Gu parted ways. A few years later, Yao Lao took in an orphan in the Black Horn Region and named him Han Feng. Han Feng had outstanding talents. Yao Lao regarded Han Feng as a good seedling worth cultivating and devoted meticulous care to him. But Yao Lao never expected that Han Feng, who was regarded as his own son, would betray him.
At that time, the Burning Art appeared in the world, Yao Lao and Feng Xian went to look for it together, and finally successfully obtained the Burning Art. The appearance of the Burning Art also gave the old man Mu Gu, who had long been resentful of Yao Lao, an opportunity to take advantage of. He instigated behind the scenes and told Han Feng that the reason why Yao Lao did not teach him the Burning Art was because he did not trust him. Han Feng, who was cold by nature, became extremely self-centered due to Yao Lao’s love since childhood. Therefore, under the instigation of old man Mu Gu, Han Feng and Yao Lao gradually became estranged. In the end, Han Feng decided to join forces with old man Mu Gu and pierce Yao Lao’s chest with a long sword covered with Mantuo Seven Stars. No one expected that Yao Zun, who was once powerful in Zhongzhou, would be betrayed by his junior and apprentice brothers in his later years.
Fortunately, there is always a way out. Yao Lao’s soul was hidden in the Bone Flame Ring under the protection of the ancient spirit cold fire. After that, the ring was tossed around for several times and finally fell into the hands of a genius boy. Afterwards, with the help of Xiao Yan, Yao Lao regained his body and broke through to the semi-saint level. He then followed Xiao Yan to the Great Thousand World and became the supreme elder of the Endless Fire Domain. His cultivation reached the level of the Immortal Level Heavenly Supreme.
