Jin Taishan, his tale was nothing short of a legend. This story happened even before Mo Jue was born. Jin Taishan was born a commoner, a mortal who was merely the son of a herb farmer.
He disappeared for ten years before reappearing in the Azure River Province. After that, he rose through the ranks among alchemists and became one of the best at only thirty years old, possessing Nascent Soul cultivation.
That was extremely young by cultivator standards.
Many believed he had stumbled upon a treasure trove of alchemy recipes or discovered a secret realm containing the inheritance of alchemists from the golden age. But no one was certain, and Jin Taishan never mentioned his life during those ten years to anyone.
The only thing Mo Jue knew was that Jin Taishan was righteous and loyal to a fault. He never betrayed anyone and never made false promises. His promises were always kept.
That was the reason Mo Jue respected him and kept his name deep within his list of doubts.
