On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Master Canglanzi returned as expected. The entire Biluo Sea was filled with jubilation, and the entire mermaid tribe was celebrating the return of this legendary figure.

As the patriarch, Yan Yuhe naturally had to go to greet him in person.

Li Wanji and Li Lanyuan also went there. They stood in the crowd and saw from afar Master Canglanzi slowly descending on a huge Hailan Lingkun.

Previously, through the information on the "Xianyuan Map", I only knew that this master's cultivation and attainments were unfathomable, but I didn't expect that his appearance would be so cool.

The Hailan Lingkun was huge in size, with a faint fluorescent glow all over its body. Its wings spread out, almost covering half of the sky.

What’s even more amazing is that Li Wanji thought Canglanzi would be an old man with a fairy-like appearance, but unexpectedly, when Canglanzi walked down from Lingkun, he turned out to be a young man who looked only in his twenties.

He was wearing a black robe, his long blue hair fluttering in the wind, and a string of teardrop-shaped sapphires on his forehead, like stars fallen to the earth.

He has an extremely handsome face, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and rosy lips. His every frown and smile reveals his free and unrestrained nature.

His appearance seemed to overshadow the entire Blue Sea.

Li Wanji couldn't help but stare in amazement. She never thought that this master was such an extremely handsome man. Even when standing next to a handsome man like Yan Yuhe, he was not inferior at all.

It is no wonder that it is rumored that he has always been picky when accepting disciples. Such an outstanding person would naturally want to find equally outstanding disciples to inherit his mantle.

Yan Yuhe naturally noticed Li Wanji's gaze. He calmly stood in front of her, blocking her view.

"What are you looking at?" he asked in a low voice.

Li Wanji came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly: "Nothing, I just think this master is very young and... very handsome."

Yan Yuhe's brows slightly frowned, but soon returned to normal. He didn't say anything, but took her hand and led her to Canglanzi.

Master Canglanzi seemed to have long been accustomed to everyone's attention. He had a smile on his face and walked leisurely, as if he was strolling in the garden.

"Yuhe, I haven't seen you for many years. You have made a lot of progress!" Master Canglanzi spotted Yan Yuhe in the crowd at a glance. He strode forward and patted Yan Yuhe on the shoulder.

"Brother, you're joking. Compared to you, I'm still far behind." Yan Yuhe smiled modestly.

Brother? Master Canglanzi is actually Yan Yuhe's brother?

Li Wanji was extremely surprised. She had never known about this before, and the "Immortal Fate Map" given to her by the system did not explain this relationship.

It seems that the many secrets of this wilderness are far more complicated than she had imagined, or maybe Tiandao deliberately concealed these key points, giving her many extra "surprises".

However, upon closer inspection, there are indeed some similarities between the two people's eyebrows and eyes, but their temperaments are completely different. One is elegant, the other is free and easy, but they are both one in a million.

"This must be Miss Li, right?" Master Canglanzi turned his gaze to Li Wanji, looked her up and down, and nodded, "Yes, she is a blessed girl."

Li Wanji felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, but she still maintained a proper smile and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Master."

"Yeah." Master Canglanzi responded lightly as a return gesture.

He didn't say much, his eyes finally fell on Li Lanyuan, as if he was evaluating something.

Li Lanyuan stood next to Li Wanji and Yan Yuhe. She felt the gaze from Master Canglanzi. That gaze was like a searchlight in the deep sea, looking her up and down thoroughly.

Her heart beat faster involuntarily, and her little hand tightly held her mother's hand, with her palms slightly sweating.

She knew that this was an important moment in her life, and success or failure depended on it.

After a while, Master Canglanzi withdrew his gaze, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Well, not bad, a good seedling."

Then, he turned to look at Yan Yuhe: "Yuhe, you have always had a unique vision, but you should know that I always pay attention to fate when accepting disciples. Let me leave a test. If this girl can pass it, I will accept her as my disciple."

Yan Yuhe smiled slightly and nodded, "Everything is up to my brother."

Canglanzi Canglanzi nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a ray of light flew out from his palm, turning into a crystal clear spirit bead, slowly floating towards Li Lanyuan.

"This is the 'Spirit Heart Pearl', which contains a trace of my spiritual consciousness. Go find a quiet place and let this little girl face it alone. If she can make the 'Spirit Heart Pearl' light up within the time of an incense stick, she will pass the test."

After saying that, he patted Yan Yuhe's shoulder again, then turned around and returned to the Hailan Lingkun. The huge Lingkun flapped its wings and flew high, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.

There was a constant stream of discussion among the crowd, all of whom were amazed at the mystery and majesty of Master Canglanzi.

Yan Yuhe watched his brother leave until his figure disappeared from his sight, then he retracted his gaze and looked at Li Wanji and her daughter beside him.

"Wan Ji, take Lan Yuan to my study first. It's quiet there and suitable for testing."

Li Wanji nodded, took Li Lanyuan's hand, and followed Yan Yuhe to his study.

The study is decorated simply and elegantly. There is a stick of sandalwood lit on the table, and the curling green smoke rises, adding a bit of Zen.

Yan Yuhe said to Li Lanyuan: "Lanyuan, in the next period of time, you will face this "Spirit Heart Pearl" alone. Remember, keep your mind calm, don't be disturbed by the outside world, and use your true heart to sense it."

Li Lanyuan nodded solemnly, walked to the table and sat down.

Yan Yuhe and Li Wanji stepped aside and looked at her quietly.

Time passed little by little, and the only sounds left in the study were Li Lanyuan's faint breathing and the sound of rising sandalwood smoke.

The time of one stick of incense soon passed, but the "Spirit Heart Pearl" still did not react at all, still maintaining the same calm state as before, as if it was an ordinary pearl, nothing special about it.

Li Lanyuan frowned slightly, feeling a little anxious. She followed Yan Yuhe's instructions, trying to keep calm and use her true heart to sense the "Spirit Heart Pearl", but she still couldn't make it light up.

She couldn't help but begin to doubt her qualifications and abilities, wondering if she was simply unable to pass Master Canglanzi's test.

At this moment, Yan Yuhe's voice rang in her ears: "Lan Yuan, don't be discouraged. The path of cultivation is full of challenges and unknowns. This is just a small test. Remember, keep your confidence and believe in yourself."

Li Wanji also walked to her side and gently held her hand: "Lan'er, you are the best. I believe you can pass this test."

Feeling the encouragement and support from his elders, Li Lanyuan felt a little calmer.

She sat back at the table, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then began to sense the "Spirit Heart Pearl" with her heart again.

Time passed again, and the study returned to its previous tranquility.

However, at this moment, the "Spirit Heart Pearl" suddenly emitted a faint light, which gradually brightened and became brighter and brighter, like a shining star.

Li Lanyuan raised his head in surprise and looked at Yan Yuhe and Li Wanji: "I passed!"

Yan Yuhe and Li Wanji also smiled with relief.

Master Canglanzi was in the training room, quietly waiting for the message from the "Spirit Heart Pearl". When the "Spirit Heart Pearl" lit up, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"This little girl is a promising talent," he murmured to himself.

The test of the "Spirit Heart Pearl" is not only a test of one's cultivation, but also a comprehensive assessment of one's character, understanding and potential.

The fact that Li Lanyuan could make the "Spirit Heart Pearl" light up within the time of an incense stick was enough to prove that she possessed outstanding qualities in these aspects.
