Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 499 - Satisfactory Achievement
One word that came out from Chu Ping mouth sounded like thunder in the ears of Jia Liang and the surrounding disciples, watching in disbelief as Chu Ping knelt in front of Master Kun.
Their brains went blank, none of them could believe that this beggar old man, thin but thick-faced, who most of them believed was a little off the head, was a little, it turned out to be Master Chu Ping whose name was also well-known among the top high-ranking Alchemist Associations.
Not to mention those present in the hall, even the two personal disciples of Chu Ping were stunned on the spot. They had never heard their Master mention anything about his own Master!
In fact, Master Kun had never admitted that Chu Ping was a private disciple. Although Master Kun did not acknowledge Chu Ping as his disciple, in Chu Ping heart, Master Kun was his Master. Without Master Kun's guidance, he would never have reached the level of alchemy skill he had today.
While everyone was still in shock and disbelief, a large group of people rushed into the hall.
The loud voice of this group of people again attracted the attention of Jia Liang and everyone in the aual. Turning their heads to look and making their pale faces become paler.
The newcomers were none other than the Association Leader, Chen Ye, with the Elders behind him.
Chen Ye and the group of Elders rushed into the hall with ferocious angry faces, but when they saw Chu Ping kneeling on the floor, they were all dumbfounded. When they finally saw Master Kun's face, each of them trembled with excitement.
Just like Chu Ping before, Chen Ye also rushed to his knees in front of Master Kun, kowtowing and saluting, "TEACHER!"
Everyone in the hall felt like they had been struck by lightning right above their heads, especially Jia Liang.
At this moment, the remaining Association Elders also rushed in front of Master Kun, saluted respectfully and knelt down, "Greetings, Great Elder Kun!"
Another huge shock wave struck the heart of Jia Liang and the pseudo disciple who was inside the hall.
Outside the hall, Chu Lihan finally regained his senses, struggling out from the rubble above him to stand up. He let out a roar like a mad beast, "Old man, I want you dead, DEAD.....!"
Chu Lihan had just come out from the rubble of the building that had befallen him, his mind was still a little confused, thus ignoring the scene that was happening inside the hall. Only after he shouted, did he just look inside the hall.
When he saw the sea of Association Elders kneeling towards Master Kun, he was stunned. However, until this moment, he still failed to realize what the scene before him meant.
Master Kun's cold gaze fell on Chu Ping, who was kneeling before him, "This is the good boy you raised?"
Chu Ping felt a chill run down his back, he became panicked from fear, "Teacher, my son does not know your identity, please save his life." He repeatedly prostrated himself, pleading for the life of his son.
Neither Chen Ye nor any of the Elders kneeling down dared to make any sound.
Chu Lihan stared foolishly at his father who was banging his head against the floor, calling the old beggar Master. His body seemed electrocuted and fear crept into his eyes, his face turning pale.
Chu Ping continued to prostrate, saying that he knew what to do, thanking Master Kun for his mercy. Who does not know the prowess of Master Kun in battle as well as in terms of pill refining. He himself had never even been willing to fight Master Kun since long ago until now.
Then, he issued an order personally, for Chu Lihan to be arrested and locked up inside the prison of the Alchemist Association. Then, it would be punished according to the crime against the Great Elder.
Only then did Master Kun's grim face relax, nodding at Chu Ping and Chen Ye, "All of you, stand up!"
Even though he was still angry inwardly, Chu Ping and Chen Ye's status was no longer the same as it used to be. Getting them to kneel for a long time in the hall of the Association headquarters was not appropriate.
Chu Ping, Chen Ye, and all the elders acknowledged respectfully before rising to their feet.
Master Kun then pointed at Zhang En, saying without further ado, “He is Zhang En, my personal disciple. You all come and greet him as Senior Brother Zhang. ”
The excessive face of shock could be seen on all of the faces of all of them. They all knew how strict Master Kun's requirements were in accepting his personal disciple, which was why, based on their talents back then, they were only considered as half a disciple of Master Kun. However, this young man in front of them was actually Master Kun's Personal Disciple.
Despite feeling extremely shocked, none of them dared to regard Master Kun's words as a gentle breeze, quickly greeting Zhang En as 'Senior Brother Zhang'!
Each of them put on a sincere face, without any arrogant or arrogant attitude.
The elder who was not half a disciple of Master Kun also rushed over to greet Zhang En, wearing a friendly smile on their faces, showing a hint of respect.
Naturally, they also did not know the other identities of Zhang En, the fourth known personal disciple of the Spirit Fire Sect Master.
However, hearing all the elders in front of him call him Senior Brother, at this moment, Zhang En was at a loss as to how to behave.
Watching Zhang En not knowing what to do from the side, Master Kun felt a satisfying achievement, enjoying this moment.
In the end, Zhang En passed the assessment. However, when Chen Ye, Chu Ping, and the other Elders learned from Jia Liang that Zhang En refined the pill without using the furnace, and moreover, that, using the common ingredients to produce a Holy grade Spirit Pill, they were shocked. After discussing the matter, they agreed to give Zhang En the status of an associate elder.
Once one reached the level of a high-level Alchemist Grandmaster and passed the assessment, they would be promoted to an Elder. With the existence of Master Kun being one of the reasons, Zhang En was promoted with the exception of further appraisals. Against this decision, Master Kun did not say anything. After all, Zhang En's alchemy refining skills were more than qualified to become Elders because he knew Zhang En's own talent and progress during his tutelage.
Undoubtedly, Zhang En was the first to jump straight from an ordinary Alchemist Master to an associate elder.
After everything was done, Chen Ye respectfully invited Master Kun, Zhang En, and Lie Hue to rest in his residence. Because Master Kun agreed, Chen Ye was very happy and it was clearly visible in his speech and attitude.
As Zhang En and the others headed to the residence of the Association Chief Grandmaster Alchemist, Chen Ye, the news of Zhang En's appraisal and his aversion as an Associate Elder also spread rapidly like a storm.
