The woman looked to be in her twenties, with bright eyes, white teeth, skin as white as cream, and an elegant temperament, like a blooming lily, fresh and refined, beautiful without being delicate, charming without being vulgar.

"Excuse me, young lady, is Elder Baili here?" Li Wanji stepped forward and asked.

"I am Baili Yanxi. What do you want from me?" The woman glanced at Li Wanji and said in a somewhat cold tone.

"Are you Elder Baili? That's great. My name is Li Ziyuan. I have heard of your name for a long time, so I came here to become your disciple and learn from you." Li Ziyuan said kindly.

"Become my disciple?" Baili Yanxi frowned slightly and looked at Li Ziyuan in confusion, "I don't plan to accept a disciple."

"I am Li Wanji of the Wanji Mountain Clan in the Baishou Mountain Range of Qiwu Country. I would like to meet Elder Baili. I hope you can be flexible." Li Wanji stepped forward and bowed.

"Wanji Li? Are you from the Li clan of Wanji Mountain in Baishou Mountain?"

Baili Yanxi raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Li Wanji, as if she remembered something.

"That's right. Hundreds of years ago, you and a few other flower lovers visited Wanji Mountain and met my ancestors several times. At that time, you also gave me some pointers on some of the difficulties in cultivation."

"Oh, I see." Baili Yanxi suddenly realized, "Since you are the descendants of an old friend, I will give you a favor and tell you the purpose of your visit."

"Elder Baili, this is the case. My daughter Ziyuan has a destiny with immortality, and a master told us that this destiny is related to you, and he directed us to come here to become your disciple, so I dared to come here to bother you."

Li Wanji repeated to Baili Yanxi the story she had prepared long ago. Anyway, she had already thought of it before coming here. Whether it was cheating or coaxing, she would first establish the relationship.

She only traveled to the Great Wilderness World fifty years ago, so how could she know what happened hundreds of years ago? These were all clues given by the "Immortal Map", and she just integrated this information.

As long as Xiao Qi can be accepted into the Wanhua Valley, everything will be fine. If it really doesn't work out, I can find a chance to explain to Baili Yanxi later.

"Immortal fate? How come I have never heard of such a thing?" Baili Yanxi was obviously a little unconvinced.

Baili Yanxi frowned slightly and looked at the girl in front of her. She could feel the aura emanating from this girl, which was indeed somewhat extraordinary, but it was not necessarily a fairy fate.

After all, there are too many counterfeiters in this world who want to use this name to cheat people.

However, Wanhua Valley is currently selecting disciples with excellent qualifications. Although this girl is not a peerless genius, she may not be a potential stock. We will know whether she is a mule or a horse after taking her for a walk.

"Well, since you have come all the way here, I will give you a chance, as a token of my gratitude to you who visited Wanji Mountain that year."

"Wait here. I will give you a test. If you can pass it, I will accept you as my apprentice."

As soon as the words fell, Baili Yanxi's figure disappeared. Li Ziyuan and Li Wanji looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.

The waiting time was not long. After about half an hour, Baili Yanxi returned to the courtyard.

She looked at the mother and her four children in front of her and said calmly, "The test is ready, just follow me."

Li Wanji and the other three followed Baili Yanxi, passed through a bamboo forest, and came to a clear lake.

The lake is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and the floating white clouds. There is a small boat quietly moored on the shore.

"You need to sail across this lake and reach the other side." Baili Yanxi pointed to the lake and said, "You only have one chance. If the boat sinks and the people drown, it will be considered a failure."

Li Wanji looked at the children and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Li Wanji was a person who had seen the world, so she naturally understood that this seemingly simple test was actually not simple.

This seemingly calm lake must be hiding a huge crisis, otherwise it would not be able to be used as a test.

"What? Are you scared?" Baili Yanxi glanced at Li Wanji and the other three and said calmly, "Since you are scared, then stop here and you can leave."

"Who said we were scared?" Li Lanyuan stepped forward and said confidently, "I've marked this boat!"

As he spoke, Li Lanyuan jumped onto the boat, sat down at the stern, and began rowing towards the center of the lake.

Seeing this, Li Wanji, Li Ziyuan and Li Luyuan followed closely and got on the boat.

Li Wanji just saw Li Lanyuan accept the challenge so straightforwardly, she then remembered that this child possessed the purple-level talent "Water Walks Without Boundaries" and also possessed a magical weapon like "Water Cloud Silk". Naturally, a mere lake would not be a problem for her.

Driven by Li Lanyuan, the boat broke through the waves and rowed towards the center of the lake.

As the boat rowed towards the center of the lake, the surrounding scenery gradually began to change. The originally bright sunshine disappeared, and was replaced by gloomy dark clouds covering the sky. The wind howled, and huge waves rolled up.

Li Wanji and three others were sitting on the boat, feeling the boat was tossing around incessantly, as if it would be overturned by the wind and waves at any time.

Upon seeing this, Li Lanyuan quickly activated the "Shuiyun Ling", and gentle forces emanated from it, holding the ship steadily. No matter how fierce the wind and waves were, the ship never deviated from its course.

About an hour later, roars suddenly came from the front, and a giant black lily emerged from the lake, emitting a strong stench, and rolled towards the boat.

Li Lanyuan shook the "Shuiyunling" in his hand, and it turned into a water curtain, blocking Black Lily outside the boat.

However, soon after, more black lilies emerged from the lake and densely surrounded the boat.

These black lilies were like nimble tentacles, constantly flapping against the hull, making loud "bang bang" noises.

"It's an illusion! Be careful, darlings!"

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Li Wanji's eyes. She remembered the content of the test that Baili Yanxi had mentioned in the bamboo house before, and thought to herself that it was just as she expected.

These black lilies are illusions, used to test everyone's concentration and character. If you can't see through these illusions and are deceived by them, you will eventually be trapped in the lake and unable to reach the other side.

While Li Lanyuan was stabilizing the boat, she and Li Luyuan closed their eyes tightly and practiced their profound skills to resist the seductive power emitted by these black lilies.

Li Ziyuan knew that the time had come for her to be tested. As the boat continued to sway, she raised her magic weapon, the "Illusionary Pearl", high above her head and silently recited the magic formula.

In an instant, a dazzling light burst out from Li Ziyuan's body, and a powerful wave emanated, which shook back the surrounding black lilies one after another.

As the "Illusion Pearl" started to work, Li Ziyuan felt his mind become clearer and the scene in front of him changed.

The lake, which had been roaring with winds and raging storms, gradually calmed down, the gloomy sky became clear, the sun was shining, and the blue waves were rippling.

The black lilies disappeared, replaced by schools of cute little fish swimming in the water.

Li Ziyuan opened his eyes and saw that Li Lanyuan and Li Luyuan had also opened their eyes, with a peaceful look on their faces.

"Mom, we succeeded!" Li Ziyuan said excitedly.

Li Wanji smiled and nodded: "Thanks to the three of you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been in trouble too."

As they were talking, the boat had already reached the other side of the lake. The four people abandoned the boat and went ashore. Looking back, they saw that the calm lake was still sparkling, as if everything just now was an illusion.

"You passed the test."

Baili Yanxi's figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone: "From this moment on, Li Ziyuan is my disciple, Baili Yanxi."

After saying that, she waved her hand, and a jade token shining with light flew in front of Li Ziyuan.

"Great! From now on, I, Xiaoqi, will also have a master to protect me!"

Li Ziyuan said happily and took the jade token.

This jade token may look ordinary, but it contains a strong spiritual energy. It is a token given by Baili Yanxi. With this token, one can walk in the Wanhua Valley.
