Chapter 137: Beast Cores
Having the elder glare his way, Li Lang bowed politely and acted submissively to prevent worsening her impression of him.
“Elder Tie, I await your instructions.”
Hearing his words, the elder seemed to have snapped out of it. She cleared her throat, playing off the astonishment she had just presented.
“Interesting. I’ve never seen or heard of two affinity tests by the same person, on the same day, producing different results. It must either mean the testing device is defective or you managed to improve within minutes, which is an unprecedented feat in itself.”
The elder held up the green bell in curiosity, examining it carefully before striking it with the mallet once more. Just like the first time she had done it, metallic dust descended from the bell.
“Well, I’ll take a further look at it later. For now, you have officially passed the affinity test. I welcome you as my student.”
With that, the elder quickly explained a few rules and how things worked before retreating with the bell in hand. She had told Li Lang to report to his seniors at the workshop to get things started while she went to attend to her own matters.
Left to navigate through the workshop alone, Li Lang headed back to the work area where Long Yi had once brought him. Inside, he found half a dozen other young cultivators, hard at work in their own task.
He even spotted Long Yi in the corner, sorting through a bunch of cabinets. The entrance of a new person drew everyone’s attention, and Long Yi was no different.
“Li Lang, you got accepted?”
“That’s right,” he nodded. “I was told to find a senior by the name of Jing Dou.”
At his words, everyone directed their gaze toward a tall young man at the center of the room. He had a thin frame, but glimpses of toned muscle could be seen from his rolled-up sleeves. Hearing his name, he immediately put down his round hammer and approached Li Lang.
