Two hours later, Zhu Ran stood in front of a large mirror and shouted,""All examinees, gather!"
Everyone gathered together, and Zhu Ran called out their names one by one. The examinees entered the forest through the entrance of the mirror one by one. When they called out Liuxia's name, Shaoyue walked to the front desk on the second floor, wanting to see what this sister who killed Qianmo looked like.
"Yes, sir!" Liuxia replied cheerfully. Zhu Ran couldn't help but look at her again. When others called her name, they would hesitate and be a little afraid, but she seemed very happy. Liuxia took the water droplet and the wooden sword and walked to the mirror. Sensing that Zhu Ran was looking at her, she turned around and smiled. Zhu Ran instantly looked away, and her heart inexplicably beat faster.
Shao Yue smiled when she saw this scene."It seems like love at first sight!"
"What love at first sight? Little Junior Sister, did you fall in love with someone at first sight?”Shengxiao suddenly appeared and made a fuss.
" Senior Brother Sheng, why are you here?" Shaoyue asked in surprise. Seeing that Sheng Xiaomo was still looking at her in disbelief, she hurriedly explained," It's not me. I'm talking about Zhuran."”
"Haha, so it's not Little Junior Sister. You scared me to death.”Sheng Xiaomo patted his chest. If Little Junior Sister had someone she liked, then there would be no one to play with. That would be so boring.
"Senior Brother Sheng, what are you thinking?”Shao Yue said unhappily.
"I'm not thinking about anything, but it's even more impossible to say that it's Zhuran. Shixiong Moyan has high expectations for him, and he might become the sect master of Changliu in the future.”Shengxiao said with certainty.
"I see!" Shao Yue said in understanding. No wonder Moyan chased Zhuran to the Wilderness in the end. It seemed like he was extremely disappointed, but he was also a little unreasonable. However, it was a fantasy for Moyan to be close to human feelings.
In the forest, Liuxia walked freely and enjoyed the beauty of nature. She had followed Sha Qianmo since she was young and had seen many things, so she didn't care about a small man-eating flower. As she walked, she saw a beautiful red flower in front of her. She remembered that Sha Qianmo loved beauty the most. He would definitely be very happy to bring such a big flower back. Therefore, Liuxia ran over happily. When she was only one step away, she suddenly felt something strange. Liuxia hurriedly jumped back and moved away from the big red flower. 'The red flower revealed its true appearance. Its petals were filled with sharp teeth. So this is a man-eating flower,' Liuxia thought. The man-eating flower was unwilling to let the food in front of it run away. It hurriedly stretched out its vines and wrapped them around Liuxia, wanting to send it into its mouth.
Liuxia didn't panic at all when she was trapped. She tried to break free, but it only got tighter and tighter. She let go of the wooden sword in her hand. The moment the wooden sword fell, it flew into the sky and cut off the vines of the Piranha Flower. Liu Xia landed on the ground and retrieved the wooden sword in the air. He raised his wrist and rushed toward the man-eating flower. The man-eating flower fell to the ground, dying.
Shaoyue, who was in the inn, saw Liuxia's performance in the mirror and praised him." This Liuxia is quite capable. Senior Brother Sheng, it seems that the aptitude of this batch of new disciples is not bad."”
Sheng Xiaomo nodded." Yes, she's definitely passed the first round."”
Sure enough, the next day, Liuxia was the first to come out of the forest entrance. Zhu Ran saw this and felt that this person's talent was not bad. She drew a circle on the name list to show that she had passed.
Seeing that all the examinees had returned and some had passed, he was overjoyed. Some were eliminated and left dejectedly. Zhu Ran stood on the platform in the middle of the inn's empty space and called for the examinees who had passed to gather." Everyone, examinees who have passed the first round, please follow me from now on.”WWw.5Wx.ORG
The examinees were puzzled and whispered to each other. They were all complaining that they had just finished the exam and had to go to the second round of the exam. They were not allowed to rest, but despite complaining, the examinees still followed.
Zhu Ran brought the examinees to the top of the mountain. There was an iron chain bridge there that connected the two mountain peaks. When Zhu Ran saw that the examinees had all arrived, he turned around and said to them,"This iron chain bridge is a test of your courage. Walk along this iron chain bridge to the other side of the bridge and you will pass.”
The examinees exclaimed," It's so high. If we fall, we'll lose our lives."”"How can we walk over?" "Definitely not." No one had the confidence to take the lead.
Zhu Ran frowned." Quiet down. There will be many obstacles in the process. In a while, some boomerangs will attack everyone. If you are hit, your body will hurt. Also, everyone is not allowed to use spells.”
"What? I can't even use spells?" The examinee complained.
Zhu Ran ignored them. She turned around and took out the boomerang that a disciple had handed to her. She then threw it at the same time. The boomerang flew back and forth on the iron chain bridge and returned to Zhu Ran's hand. Seeing that the difficulty had increased, the examinees were even more afraid to go forward. Seeing this, Liu Xia took the lead and walked onto the iron chain bridge. Although it was a little shaky, Liu Xia walked steadily on it. Zhu Ran saw that Liu Xia had already walked to the middle of the bridge, so she threw the boomerang. Liu Xia felt the sound of air being torn behind her and knew that the boomerang was coming. She jumped hard and dodged it once. The boomerang flew back again. She bent back again, and the boomerang flew past her. Liu Xia heaved a sigh of relief and stood up. Suddenly, he couldn't stand properly. He staggered and the candidates on the shore broke out in cold sweat. Liu Xia quickly grabbed the chains on both sides and finally stood firm. Then, it was easy for him to walk to the other side. Zhu Ran nodded in satisfaction and drew another circle on the name list. When Liuxia almost lost her balance just now, he felt a cold sweat for some reason.
After the second round, some examinees were eliminated. Zhu Ran allowed the examinees who passed to rest at the inn for a night before continuing with the third round tomorrow. The next day, Zhu Ran led the examinees on their flying swords to Mount Changliu. The examinees were all amazed at the beauty of the Changliu Celestial Mountain, which was like a fairyland. After landing, Zhu Ran said to the examinees,"Today is the last round. If you pass, you will become permanent disciples.”
The examinees were pleasantly surprised. Finally, at the last step, Zhu Ran said,""Alright, everyone, get ready and follow me to change.”
After changing their clothes, Zhu Ran brought the examinees to the Three Lives Pond." This is the Three Lives Pond of Changliu. All of you go down and wash your bodies. Those who have washed in the Three Lives Pond will officially become outer sect disciples of Changliu.”Some examinees didn't understand why everyone had to go down to take a bath together.
"You only need to walk around the edge of the Three Lives Pool barefooted, and it'll be considered a pass."”When everyone saw this, they all heaved a sigh of relief. They thought it would be difficult, but it turned out to be so simple. However, Zhu Ran's next words poured cold water on them." You must remember that the water of the Greed Palace is to wash away greed, the water of the Ecstasy Palace is to wash away desire, and the water of the Unrequited Love Palace is to wash away desire. This is the water of the Three Lives Pool. If you can't get rid of these three, you will suffer greatly when you enter the pool, and your lives will even be in danger. As long as your heart is clear of distracting thoughts, it is suitable for you to stay and cultivate for a long time.”
When the examinees heard this, they were somewhat hesitant, but Zhu Ran did not give them time." Everyone line up and go down one by one.”
The examinees lined up one by one and immediately wailed in pain. Everyone let out painful cries. It seemed that no one could get rid of their distracting thoughts. Shao Yue watched from above and suddenly asked Sheng Xiaomo beside her," Senior Brother Sheng, did you walk through the Three Lives Pool?”
"Of course I have. Although I didn't completely get rid of my distracting thoughts at that time, I was basically fine.”Shengxiao said as he fanned himself.
"Then do I need to go through it too? When Master took me in as his disciple, he didn't say anything about this.”Shaoyue also wanted to try the water of the Three Lives Pool, not knowing if she would be as painful as others if she walked in.
"Master has his own intentions. Moreover, there's no need for it now. Little Junior Sister's cultivation talent is obvious to all. Who can reach the realm of ascension in just a few decades and is about to break through to become an immortal? This is enough to prove that you are suitable to stay here and cultivate.”Sheng Xiaomo said proudly. Although his little junior sister often went into seclusion and rarely played with him, he was still very happy to have such a powerful junior sister. Moreover, he was already very satisfied that his little junior sister would come to find him as soon as she came out of seclusion.
"I see!" Shao Yue understood." Senior Brother Sheng, I actually want to give it a try. Why don't I go in after they're done?”
"What? Little Junior Sister, you want to wash yourself in the water of the Pool of Three Lives?”Shengxiao said in surprise.
"En, I want to know if I have any distracting thoughts."”Shao Yue wanted to stop Hua Qiangu's tragedy. She did not know if this counted as an obsession, but she wanted to verify it.
" Little Junior Sister…" Shengxiao was a little helpless. Others were afraid of the water in the Pool of Three Lives, but why did Little Junior Sister like to do the opposite?" Alright, I'll watch from the side, just in case."”
"Thank you, Senior Brother Sheng!" Shao Yue laughed. Shengxiao shook his head helplessly and continued to watch the assessment.
It was finally Liuxia's turn. She was actually very nervous. She had come to stay for a long time because she wanted to play the lute. She didn't know if this was considered a distraction, but she was not sure. Zhu Ran saw that Liuxia had not come down for a long time, so she called out again," Liuxia, it's your turn."”
" Oh, okay…" Liu Xia took a deep breath and stepped into the water. However, the expected pain didn't come. Liu Xia smiled and walked through the water of the Greed Palace easily. Then, the water of the Ecstasy Palace didn't change."The water in this Three-Lives Pool is really comfortable!”
The other examinees looked at Liuxia speechlessly. They were all wailing in their hearts.'You're fine, but we're not!'
