Chapter 180: Exam Date (1/2)

”What do you mean by it should have stopped, sister? Is this phenomenon supposed to stop after the first few times?” he asked.

Hannah said, ”Yes. At first, you fall asleep a few times, but after a while, you get used to it and can start staying awake during cultivation.”

”But, I have never been able to do that sister. I have always fallen asleep. Am I doing something wrong then?” he asked.

”Uhh… I don't think so. I don't think it has anything to do with you since it's supposed to stop of its own. Maybe it's your cultivation technique? Or maybe you are just an outlier. In any case, make sure you're in a safe place when you cultivate then.”

”Okay sister,” he replied.

”Alright, eat some food. It's in the fridge. Put it in the microwave for 2 minutes, and it should be okay. Also, don't forget, tonight you have to go with me, ok? I hope you won't end up cultivating and forgetting to wake up.” Hannah put her dish on the dishwasher and left.

Alex ate the food alone and put the dish in the dishwasher after finishing as well. He waited for the dishes to be cleaned and reorganized them into their original places in the kitchen. Only after then did he leave.

He didn't immediately go to the game and instead used his new phone and laptop for some time. He needed to get used to them if he wanted to use them. After an hour or so of using them, he logged back into the game around 12 pm.

Just as he logged in, he felt a sort of vibration from one of his storage. He looked inside to find that it was his communication talisman from his master. He picked it up and looked at the message.

”Come to my place as soon as you can.”

Without hesitation, he left for his master's building. As he arrived, his master was also about to leave.

”Oh, you're here. I was about to go find you since you didn't respond at all,” she said.

”Oh, sorry master. I was kind of busy and didn't see your message in time. But I have some questions so I came rushing.”

”Come in, I also have something to talk to you about,” Ma Rong said as she walked back inside. Alex followed her and walked into one of the rooms as well.

”What do you want to talk about, master?” he asked.

”Alright, your exam date for Core disciple has been set. It will be tomorrow morning around 8 am. Make sure you are at the Elder's hall in time tomorrow,” she said.

”Oh, alright. Thank you, master,” he said.

”Alright, tell me. What do you want to talk about?,” she asked.

”It's regarding these,' he said as he pulled out 3 pill bottles. Ma Rong wasn't sure what was happening, but she took the pill bottles and popped the stopper for one of them.
