The Pill Tower Ancestor was like an old child who loved to play by nature. It was impossible for him to stay with Chu Yang the whole time and wait for him to slowly cultivate the Summoning Art to minor mastery.
That wait would simply be far too long for him.
And since the Pill Tower Ancestor's playful urges had risen again and he wanted to go elsewhere to reincarnate, how could Chu Yang possibly keep him?
Thus, the Pill Tower Ancestor left just like that, telling Chu Yang to train on his own.
"It probably saw that I could now initially control Di Jun's Exotic Fire, that the Summoning Art could already begin summoning skeletons, and that I had the Azure Cloud Wings to fly with. It probably figured I wouldn't die so easily in the Monster Mountain Range, so it left without a care."
Chu Yang felt as though he held some resentment in his heart.
But then he thought about it again. The Pill Tower Ancestor had never had much connection with him to begin with. Whether Chu Yang existed or not, the Pill Tower would continue operating as usual, and alchemists across the Dou Qi Continent would remain highly respected. Soul Hall and the Soul Clan behind it were such terrifying, transcendent forces. No matter how noble an alchemist's status was on the Dou Qi Continent, no matter how powerful the Pill Tower's influence was, it might not necessarily be capable of destroying Soul Hall. So let the Pill Tower and Soul Hall remain locked in this stalemate!
And even if his talent was peerless, the Pill Tower Ancestor might not truly have considered him the Pill Tower's hope. He had merely treated Chu Yang as a gamble.
He had helped as much as he could,
