Seeing Ye Yang clueless, the Chief Alchemist spoke, "There are two major forces in the world of Alchemy. One is us, the Alchemy Tower, established by cultivators who sought a place for those who couldn't afford to join the Alchemy Association or had failed to do so. The other major force is the Alchemy Association itself, the true powerhouse of the Alchemy world."
"Although we are considered inferior to them, the Alchemy Tower was founded by the first disciple of the Alchemy Immortal. This disciple was banished from the Alchemy Association after being found guilty of an unspecified crime. To this day, the Alchemy Tower believes this accusation was false."
"In reality, we are not inherently inferior to them. However, the Alchemy Association enjoys the support of the government, elite families, and numerous sects, both large and small. This has earned them a worldwide reputation, while our influence is primarily confined to the southern part of this world."
