Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 194: Core Disciple

Zhou Mi wasn\'t smug like the first guy, only happy and had a cheerful smile as she returned back.

"Brother Yu, I will go find that disciple from earlier and ask him if he can change his house with mine, Okay?" Kong Yuhan said and was about to walk out when suddenly, he stopped mid-step and looked back with wide eyes.

The elder had just called the name \'Yu Ming\' to come out. "Brother Yu?" Kong Yuhan said as he tried to inquire, but Alex just gave him a simple smile and walked out.

"Huh? An outer core disciple?" someone was surprised.

"Wait, did he take a core disciple exam?" another person said in shock.

"Not only that, he passed it too," another person was surprised.

Zhou Mi had just reached her sister when she looked back when she heard the name the Elder call out. "Brother Yu?" she also shouted in surprise. The shock and surprise didn\'t let go of Zhou Mei either.

"It\'s that guy from last time. He is a core disciple now?" she said in shock. She had been in the sect for a little over 5 years now but had never seen an Outer sect disciple jump straight to Core disciple. She kept looking at him in shock as he walked to the elder.

Alex reached the Elder and bowed a little. "You finished last minute I hear," the Elder said in a low voice. "Yes, Elder. Some problems came up as I was making the pills," Alex said.

"Well, it doesn\'t matter. Since you passed, you are now a Core disciple. Congratulations," the Elder said as he handed the items to Alex who quickly put them into his storage bag.

"You might live on the Sect Leader\'s mountain, but since you are a core disciple now, you also have a house at the core disciple\'s mountain. Check your new nameplate to locate your house," the Elder said.

"Thank you, Elder." He then bowed to the Elder once more and started walking back.

"The Tests are over. You are all dismissed," the Elder shouted. The student didn\'t leave however, they kept looking at Alex in shock. He walked back to the spectator zone since that was where the way out was.

Kong Yuhan was about to step out to question him when suddenly the hoard of disciples walked forward to question him first.

"Hey brother, you are called Yu Ming, right? When did you join the sect? I have never seen you before."

"Are you an Elder\'s son?"

"Did you cheat?"

"Did you come from another Alchemy school?"

"Brother, teach us how to go from Outer sect Disciple to core disciple too."

"Hey, Brother Yu, Do you have a girl you like?"

"I can be your girlfriend if you want. Just teach me a little Alchemy for free."

"Brother, my name is Huang Lei, I can be your aid if you ever want to make pills in the Alchemy hall."

"He is a core disciple now, he doesn\'t need an Aid."

"Hey, nothing wrong in just asking, right?"

"I guess so, Brother you want me as an aid as well?"

Alex was a little surprised when he was suddenly surrounded by all sides and asked multiple questions. "Ah, Ah," was the only words he had managed to get out. He couldn\'t even see Kong Yuhan anymore.

The pathway out was packed with the student and he didn\'t know what to do anymore. He looked at the time and it was about time to log out as well. \'Sh*t, I\'m going to be late for school,\' Alex thought.

He tried to push through, but the students were truly a lot. Without any choice, he reached into his storage bag and took out a pill, stunning everyone in there. He raised the pill high up and shouted, "This is a 17% harmony Bone Sealing pill. Whoever catches this can take it."

He then suddenly threw it up in the air. Numerous hands reached out to grab the pill, and only one managed to get it using their Qi. When the person grabbed it, the rest of the people looked back towards Alex, but he wasn\'t there anymore.

The disciples looked around for a bit but couldn\'t find him. He had walked out while they were distracted. So reluctantly, they left the Elder\'s hall and walked outside.

Kong Yuhan and Zhou Mi were quite surprised at his sudden disappearance too but thought he must\'ve walked out fast when he threw the pill in the air.

"I can\'t believe brother Yu is a core disciple now," he said. His mind was still reeling by the fact that a disciple that knew nothing about Alchemy a month ago, was now a core disciple.

"Just how talented is he?" he wondered

"Me neither. I thought he was just a normal outer sect disciple. No wonder he was there in the Disciple Hall that day," Zhou Mi said remembering back 2 days ago when she met Alex on the staircase to the top floors.

"Alright let\'s go out," Kong Yuhan said as there was nothing more to do here and started walking out.

"Let\'s go, Sister," Zhou Mi said as she tried to pull her sister, but she wouldn\'t budge. Zhou Mi turned around and was a little surprised to see the face of utter shock on her sister\'s face.

"What\'s wrong, Sister?" Zhou Mi asked, but her sister wouldn\'t respond. Only after a while did she say 3 words out loud that formed an incomplete sentence.

"That man, He…" Zhou Mei said out loud and thought the rest by herself.

\'That man, He definitely just used the Flickering Shadows Technique.\'
