I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head - Chapter 1822

1822 Famous for a Time
No one could say anything wrong with this advancement. After all, Chu Yunfan had already stepped into the Cosmos Stage. He was qualified to become a true disciple.

Although he was a newly promoted true disciple, no one treated him as an ordinary one. Based on the strength he had displayed, he was one of the best among the true disciples.

In other words, Chu Yunfan became a big shot among the true disciples as soon as he joined their circle. He was qualified to establish another mountain and recruit followers.

Even Zhan Taixuan, who was known as the number one female true disciple of the Flying Celestials, had publicly stated that she was confident in Chu Yunfan. This was enough to make many people think about Chu Yunfan’s true strength. Without a doubt, as long as he didn’t die prematurely, it was only a matter of time before he became one of the best among the true disciples. He might even become a big shot among the big shots of the Flying Celestials in the future.

Other than Wang Yifan, who had turned into a demon, the unlucky elders of the Flying Celestials that were killed were no longer cared about. No one mentioned them. It was as if they had never existed. After all, they were just a few fringe elders.

The status of a true disciple was equal to that of a fringe elder of the Flying Celestials. In fact, a true disciple’s status was higher. Chu Yunfan, who was recognized as the core of the Flying Celestials’ younger generation, had an even more extraordinary status.

According to past management, the Flying Celestials’ higher-ups valued Chu Yunfan no less than a grand elder. In this aspect, the treatment afforded to him was almost the same as Hua Xianyuan’s.

After all, Hua Xianyuan had yet to step into the Cosmos Stage and become a true disciple. However, Chu Yunfan had truly stepped into the Cosmos Stage and become a true disciple. One only had potential in the future, but Chu Yunfan’s potential had already transformed into a part of his true strength.

Naturally, no one raised any objections to Chu Yunfan’s promotion. Even Chu Yunfan’s greatest enemy, Jiang Wan’an, was in a state of confinement and reflection. He could not speak out.

At the same time, Chu Yunfan’s powerful rise gave many people an opportunity. As the lid of this matter was blown open, many things about him in Baotai began to be understood. Before this, almost no one was willing to understand him. He was just an elite disciple, a commander of a small city garrison. What was there to pay attention to?

But now, Chu Yunfan had become a true disciple, and he had become an External General within the Imperial Court. Many true disciples who had served the Imperial Court for many years had not been promoted to a second-grade position.

It would be fine if Chu Yunfan was the only one who had improved. However, You Chuyun and the others who had left the Flying Celestials with Chu Yunfan had all also become much stronger. On top of that, they had all been promoted. Their improvement speed was many times faster than when they were unknown in the Flying Celestials.

This made many people’s eyes turn green with jealousy. After all, no one did not want to improve their strength, and no one did not want to be promoted and make a fortune. What did You Chuyun and the others have? They had relied on the fact that they had known Chu Yunfan for a long time and had joined him for a long time.

At first, they were just a group of inner disciples. Now, they had all become elite disciples. This made the other elite disciples very envious. With Chu Yunfan’s current fame, many elite disciples who were originally high and mighty came crawling to Startling Cloud Peak, wanting to see Chu Yunfan and hoping he’d take them in as his followers.

As the saying goes, rich people had distant relatives in the mountains, but poor people in the downtown area have no one to ask about them.

Before this, Chu Yunfan had been a potato in the eyes of countless people, but many people were afraid of Wang Yifan and did not dare to join Chu Yunfan. Now that they wanted to join him, it was not so easy. The screening threshold to becoming a follower was now very high. It was impossible for ordinary inner disciples to become Chu Yunfan’s followers like You Chuyun and the others had. Only those who were outstanding among the inner disciples and had extremely high talent were accepted.

This made many inner disciples beat their chests in frustration. There had been a great opportunity in front of them, but they didn’t cherish it. Now that they had lost it, it was too late for regret.

As for the elite disciples, it was the same. The ordinary elite disciples who wanted to become Chu Yunfan’s followers were not qualified. As Chu Yunfan was under house arrest, he did not show up to the recruitment, After You Chuyun received Chu Yunfan’s instructions, he returned to the Flying Celestials from Baotai to deal with the matter.

Those who were not determined, those who had ulterior motives, and those who just wanted to fish in troubled waters were all eliminated. Only those who sincerely wanted to become Chu Yunfan’s followers were accepted into and received Chu Yunfan’s guidance.

You Chuyun followed Chu Yunfan’s point of view—quality was more important than quantity. A true follower had to be useful during critical moments. Otherwise, no matter how many people there were, they would scatter when needed. What was the use of having them around?

After ten days of screening, 50 elite disciples and 100 inner disciples were selected to become Chu Yunfan’s followers. In addition to the fringe disciples who were doing odd jobs, the originally cold and quiet Startling Cloud Peak due to Wang Yifan’s death become lively again.

After the first batch of people had been accepted, Chu Yunfan called them to the place where he was in seclusion to preach to them. If it was before, Chu Yunfan would be ridiculed for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth if he were to preach to a group of elite disciples and the best inner disciples. But now, it was different. He had the qualifications and no one doubted him.

In just three days, everyone felt that they had gained a lot. Since there were not many people, Chu Yunfan could give one-on-one targeted guidance. His cultivation level was higher than these people’s, and his understanding of the great dao far exceeded their imagination. He was from a strategic position and could easily discover their problems and propose solutions.

In just three days, one-third of these 150 people had broken through their original cultivation level and advanced. The rest had gained some benefits too, albeit slightly smaller.

When this news spread, everyone was in an uproar. Countless people pounded their feet and stomped their chests. It was a huge loss not to be chosen as Chu Yunfan’s follower.
