Chapter 200: Core Mountain (1/2)

Alex gave the guidebook a general look-through. It didn't have anything that would pertain to him, other than the fact that he could be an elder if he ever made  50 pills over 35% in harmony or a Heaven-grade pill.

It also marked the location of the Pill Swines, but he already knew where it was now.

The only new thing he really got to know was the general location of the forbidden fields. But the map was vague about it for some reason. It didn't mark any specific places.

'Is that because it's big?' he wondered.

He walked down to the base of the mountain and walked left to go to the core disciple's mountain.

Now that he was a core disciple, he felt like there were more eyes on him, looking at him with slight respect. Alex didn't let it get to his head, however, and walked directly to the core mountain.

Looking at his robes, the elders that stood guard didn't block him at all. Alex remembered the way to his house and walked along the pathway, keeping all locations in mind.

He looked at the houses along the way, however, none of it were inhabited.

”Hmm… is that what brother Kong told me? Everyone gets put into the houses in order of their entry to the core mountain. So right now, I must have the final inhabited house.”

He walked along the way and finally reached his house. From the outside, it didn't look like anything fancy at all. It looked just like the hundreds of other homes lined by its side.

However, he wanted to check how it was on the inside. The door had a similar system to the one in the Alchemy hall, wherein he could place his nameplate on the door frame and it would open up.

He walked inside to check the interior, but it was hardly worth talking about compared to his home in the sect leader's mountain.

”At least it has an alchemy room too,” he thought. He walked to the back of the house and saw that it also had a courtyard with a pool in it. Although both were much smaller when compared to his other house, they weren't that bad.

After checking it all, he decided that he liked his other home better and prepared to leave.

He took the nameplate out of the outside and walked out.

”You should be fine staying here now that all the furniture and stuff has been transported. Do you want me to wait here with you for your sister to come back?” a voice came from a house over.

”Yes, I will be fine. Although, I won't mind if you wait with me,” A girl's voice came.

Alex didn't even have to look to see who it was.

”Brother Kong, it's good to see you again,” he said as he walked out of the house. He then turned to Zhou Mi and said, ”It's good to see you've settled in already Sister Zhou Mi.”

”Ah, Brother Yu,” they both shouted when they saw him.

”You are here finally. I was waiting for you. Congratulations on becoming a Core disciple, Brother Yu,” Kong Yuhan said.
