Chapter 17
  Dark clouds obscured the moonlight at night.

His face felt cold, and a drop of water fell on his cheek.

Lan Duoduo looked up, and a few more drops of water fell on her head and face.

"It's raining." Lan Duoduo raised her hand to cover Li Qimin's face, who was leaning on her lap, and called him in a low voice, "Li Qiming, it's raining."

The rain rippled in the pond and rustled on the leaves.

Qingyuan opened his eyes and saw the blue flowers that shielded him from the rain.

"It's raining. Are you feeling better? Do you want me to take you back?"

Qingyuan nodded, "It's okay. There's no need to send me off. It's going to rain hard in a while. It's time to get wet. Go back quickly."

Coming out of the pond, the two said goodbye and went their separate ways.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Lan Duoduo felt that she should have been soaked all over, but the raindrops seemed to be avoiding her. When she ran back to the room, her clothes and hair were actually dry.

It has not rained in the entire Dongli Mountain for a long time.

The disciples stuck their heads out of the windows one after another, looking at the bead-curtain-like heavy rain in the sky.

Xuanyuan Hall is located at the top of Wudao Mountain. Due to climate reasons, the rain on the top of the mountain is always heavier than that on other peaks.

The wind blew Qingyuan's crow-green robe, making him look even colder and aloof.

"Master Qingshan, your shoes are wet!"

A little boy who looked like a Taoist boy came out of the hall and pointed at Qingyuan's shoes.

This little boy looks like a Taoist boy, but his movements are slightly stiff, but he is actually a puppet that looks very human.

Standing under the eaves of the main hall, Qingyuan realized that the heavy rain had wet his otherwise spotless white boots.

"It doesn't matter." Qingyuan said.

The little Taoist boy nodded, turned and left.

Lan Duoduo had obviously returned to the school building, but her singing voice still seemed to linger in his ears, and her soft fingers seemed to still be on his head.

Taking a gentle breath, the sweet smell on Lan Duoduo seemed to be still there.

Qingyuan raised his hand, and a sachet embroidered with a skull appeared in his hand.

He brought the sachet to his nose and sniffed, it was the sweet scent of Lan Duoduo.

When the apprenticeship ceremony ends tomorrow, he will never see Lan Duoduo again.

The rain was pattering on the ground. Before reading, Lan Duoduo lived in a city where it rained almost every day during the rainy season.

Because I am used to it, I can sleep soundly no matter how heavy the rain is.

But today she couldn't sleep. All she could think about was Li Qiming saying that he was leaving tomorrow and she would never see him again.

Thinking that tomorrow's assessment was very important and related to her throne and property, Lan Duoduo began to count sheep. She turned over and over until midnight before finally falling asleep.

The next day
  Lan Duoduo stood among the crowd in the square, nodding off little by little.

"Boss?"

Hearing someone speaking in front of her, Lan Duoduo opened her eyes and stood up quickly.

"Boss?"

It turned out to be Da Kuai Tou, and she thought he was an elder.

"The elders are here. They will accept disciples after today's assessment. Boss, if we all pass the assessment, which elder will we become our disciples?" the big man said to her.

Lan Duoduo looked towards the high platform in the square, where seven elders were sitting.

She remembered that what the Mountain Master told her was that the one in blue was a hammer cultivator, the one in pink was a Mei cultivator, the one in green was a sword cultivator, the one in brown was an alchemy cultivator, and the one in white was a medicine cultivator.

But the elders don't wear disciple uniforms like the disciples, and Lan Duoduo can't tell the difference. What exactly are they cultivating?
  Lan Duoduo shook her head and said she didn't know.

The big man added: "I heard that the one at the end is the Sword Master, who uses the sword to enter the Tao. How great would it be if we could become the disciple of the Sword Master?"

As he spoke, the big man stretched out his index and middle fingers to make a sword move. Zhou Xiaobin, a fat boy with a round face, came close to the big guy and said, "I think the fairy in the middle is so beautiful. It would be great if I could become a fairy!"

"That's how White Lotus Fairy mainly practices the art of charm."

Lan Duoduo looked towards the speaker. Standing in front of her was a young man in Tsing Yi. He had introduced himself during class. Lan Duoduo remembered that his name was Ji Ran.

"What's so good? How can you, a man, learn the art of enchantment?" The big man patted Zhou Xiaobin on the back of his head.

Zhou Xiaobin covered the back of his head and looked at the fairy on the stage, "Meixiu, let's forget it."

Ji Ran next to him couldn't help laughing.

From what Ji Ran said, he seemed to know the elders on the stage, so Lan Duoduo asked: "Which elder on the stage teaches hammer cultivation?"

Chuixiu is Elder Quan. Ji Ran secretly glanced at the big guy and said, "Elder Quan is stronger than the big guy, the second one from the left."

Seeing Elder Quan, Lan Duoduo felt a little regretful. She felt that she was standing in front of Elder Quan, and he could easily pick her up and throw her away with one hand.

But she had already said in front of the mountain master that she wanted to make a hammer repair, and she could never go back on her words.

After a while, the sect leader also arrived.

Today he wore a black robe with arrow sleeves, looking even more majestic.

A seat was prepared for him in the center of the high platform. He just walked up and had not yet warmed the seat.

The mountain owner appeared on the high platform with white hair and white clothes.

"Master of the mountain."

Jiang Zuoxian got stuck.

He thought that the mountain owner might be acting on a whim, so he suddenly went to the examination site yesterday.

I didn't expect him to come again today.

With the mountain master around, he always felt an invisible pressure on himself.

Seeing Qingyuan coming, the elders hurriedly saluted Qingyuan.

"Meet the mountain master."

The disciples under the high platform imitated the elders and saluted the mountain master.

Qingyuan motioned for them to get up, "Don't worry about me, you just do your thing." After saying that, he found a chair in the corner and sat on it like yesterday.

There were whispers in the square, "Didn't you say that you can only see the Mountain Master in your dreams? We have seen the Mountain Master in the past two days."

"I heard that the mountain owner was a handsomer man than Pan An, probably when he was young."

"Although your hair is a bit gray now, doesn't it still look good?"

"It looks good, but it makes people a little less fanciful."

"You're feeling springy, aren't you?"

"Dang," the first bell rang not far away.

Everyone stopped whispering.

"There will be two tests today. After passing these two tests, you can officially enter Dongli Mountain as a disciple. There are seven elders who will accept disciples. After everyone has participated in the test, they will introduce them to you. You can think about it then. Think about what you want to learn and which elder you want to be your teacher?”

After Jiang Zuoxian finished speaking, he winked at Elder Lin on the side.

Elder Lin answered: "Let me announce two assessments. The first is to cross the Sansheng Bridge, and the second is to enter the Small Secret Realm. These two assessments are to test our Taoist heart. The Sansheng Bridge is to test everyone. Whether you are still greedy for the desires in the world, and the Little Secret Realm is a test of whether you have a firm Taoist heart."

Lan Duoduo's heart skipped a beat when she heard Elder Lin ask whether she was greedy for worldly desires.

The purpose of her coming to Dongli Mountain was to inherit the throne and then inherit the Demon King's property.

It's over, Lan Duoduo thought: She will definitely not be able to pass the Sansheng Bridge.
