Chen Jiu was a frequent visitor to the Core Courtyard, so he was no stranger to the place. He immediately found the teacher in charge of the promotion.
"Oh, so it's Chen Jiu. What are you doing here?" Chen Jiu was very famous now. Even among the teachers, he had heard of him.
"We're here to be promoted to core disciples. Teacher Xia, do you think we can start?" Chen Jiu smiled and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.
Xia Shi, a middle-aged man with a dignified face, was the director of the Core Courtyard. His cultivation was at the seventh level of the Grandmaster realm, and he was a supreme expert who had mastered the laws of nature.
"What? You've all been promoted … This, how did you all become Grandmasters? "Xia Shi's eyes narrowed as he stared at them in shock.
"Xia laoshi, can we begin now?" Without explaining, Chen Jiu asked once more.
"Okay, we can start. Follow me …" Xia Shi did not ask any more questions. Instead, he brought the five of them to a remote area where there was also a huge testing array.
"Go in. As long as you use your strength to break this array, you can become a core disciple," Xia Shi reminded them in a friendly manner.
"Alright." The few of them nodded. Without any hesitation, they stepped into the huge formation that resembled a snake-shaped dragon pattern.
"Boom …" There was a sudden change in the sky. The array was activated, and a strong wave of Primordial Qi locked on to the five of them, trapping them separately.
It was like an inverted bowl. The Primordial Qi condensed and became one with heaven and earth. If one could not control the Primordial Qi to attack, even an ordinary half-step Grandmaster would not be able to break this seal.
Core disciples were generally masters of the Grandmaster realm. It was not easy to become a core disciple. For him, the test would only test whether his attack power had reached the standard. There would not be any harsh combat test. If such a master died, it would be a loss to the academy. After all, combat experience could be sharpened in the future.
"Boom …" With a loud explosion, the divine light in the center exploded. A leisurely youth walked out from it without even breathing heavily.
"This … Chen Jiu, you …" Xia Shi was immediately dumbfounded. Although he knew that Chen Jiu could break this array, he did not expect it to be so easy. He faintly felt that Chen Jiu now had the ability to compete with him. He was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Boom …" As expected, there were four explosions. There was no difficulty at all. Li Xiaoyao and the others successfully broke the array and obtained the qualifications to be a core disciple.....
"Good, as expected, heroes come from the youth. But Chen Jiu, let me remind you that the core academy isn't like the elite academy. All of the academy's peerless elites are gathered here. In the future, you can't be too impulsive. Otherwise, you'll bring a fatal disaster to yourself." Xia Shi reminded Chen Jiu with concern. That was because there were some large gatherings in the core academy that even he, the director, couldn't afford to offend. The current genius students all had heaven-defying abilities.
"Teacher, we naturally know what to do. What kind of courtyard are you planning to arrange for us?" Zhang Xinran's face was filled with expectation.
The courtyards in the core disciples were divided into different grades. Different people would have different arrangements. This caused the core disciples to differ greatly. But at the same time, it also encouraged the students to work hard every day.
"This … According to the time you came out of seclusion, Chen Jiu will receive a first grade foundation courtyard. As for the three of you, you will receive a second grade foundation courtyard." Xia Shi hesitated for a moment, but still decided to speak in a regular manner.
"Oh? Foundation courtyard? What does that mean? " Chen Jiu was immediately very puzzled. "Can't we be like the Holy Pure Fairy and directly get a palace?"
"The Holy Pure Fairy is a special case. Chen Jiu, your aunt also has this privilege, but you don't …" Xia Shi explained. "Actually, the foundation courtyard is not worse than the Holy Pure Fairy. It's just that you need to build a new courtyard by yourself. For example, the famous Tian Zi, who no one can compare to, only started with a first grade courtyard. As for how you will manage it in the future, it will completely depend on your own ability. Do you understand?"
"So it's like that. I understand. Then you can arrange it for us. Try to get us as close as possible, okay?" Chen Jiu nodded and did not say anything else.
"Yes, that won't be a problem." Xia Shi then took out a map of the core courtyard. The arcs on the map were densely packed with records of the people and changes in the various courtyards. It was truly an exquisite piece of work.
On this map, Chen Jiu saw that there were no less than a hundred palace-like buildings. Among them, the one at the center was the most glorious. It was a huge building, but it was more like a giant, an emperor. It looked down on everyone, and no one dared to disobey it.
"Tian Zi …" Chen Jiu silently muttered. He didn't raise any objections to Xia Shi's arrangements.
"Chen Jiu, your luck is very good. This time, a genius died in the Devil Cave's chaos. You can use his courtyard. You have to cherish it." Xia Shi finally handed over a medallion somewhat enviously. It was the key to open his courtyard.
"Boss, we'll go tidy things up first. Once we're done, we'll come find you." Zhang Xinran and the others were also very curious about the life in the core courtyard. They immediately bid farewell and left.
"Alright," Chen Jiu replied. After bidding farewell to Xia Shi, he followed the map on the back of the command medallion and quickly found his courtyard.
Wen Qing Residence's courtyard had clearly been occupied by someone before. In truth, that wasn't rare. Throughout the history of the academy, most of the courtyards had been occupied by someone before.
The courtyard was very large. It was like a mansion. Although it wasn't very tall, it was extremely spacious. All the courtyards were the same size. They were all very large.
Standing in front of the courtyard, Chen Jiu wasn't in a hurry to enter. His expression was a bit awkward. He suddenly froze and looked to the other side. That familiar scene left him speechless.
The Ethereal Palace. It was too much of a coincidence. After advancing, he had become neighbors with Zhao Lian 'er. Chen Jiu really couldn't make up his mind about her.
In front of Zhao Lian 'er, he had to pretend to be a virtuous and virtuous senior. Although he liked her pure, kind, and ethereal beauty, as a senior, if he expressed such thoughts about her, wouldn't he be destroying his own image?
No, Zhao Lian 'er was out of the question for now. If she exposed him, he wouldn't be able to explain the matter of his Immortal Elixir.
Chen Jiu's worries were not without reason. After all, if you told a beautiful woman whom you had only met a few times that the Elixir of Immortality that you had recently used was spurted out by that thing of his, what do you think the beautiful woman would think? It would be good if she didn't castrate him on the spot.
