Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Li Lan is currently also considered an unaffiliated Taoist priest.

"Since none of you have obtained the Celestial Master's Mansion token, you will need to pass the test on the spot. If you succeed, you will be issued the Celestial Master's Mansion token on the spot, and you will also have the opportunity to serve the four immortal families."

Faced with these "unofficial celestial masters," a middle-aged celestial master from the Celestial Master's Mansion stepped forward and spoke calmly.

Normally, if unaffiliated celestial masters want to obtain a token from the Celestial Master Palace, they need to go to the Celestial Master Palace for examination. Obviously, these past few days have been for the four major families to jointly investigate the Ancient Demon Mountain, so a checkpoint has been set up here.

"I am willing to accept the assessment!"

A group of unlicensed Taoist priests had already stepped forward.

The Celestial Master's examination was quite simple, consisting of only two steps: the first step was to withstand the malicious erosion of demons and see if one could endure it; the second step was to deal with a small "demon spirit".

Anyone who can do it, regardless of the method used, can be considered a Taoist master.

After a long time, four or five people on site passed the test and all obtained the "First-Rank Celestial Master" token.

"Who introduced you?"

When it was finally Li Lan's turn, the disciple from the Celestial Master Palace in charge of boarding asked a question.

"introduce?"

Li Lan was surprised.

"Of course!"

The disciple said impatiently, "Does the Celestial Master's Mansion's assessment mean that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can crash it? Without an introduction, you can't participate, lest you die and cause trouble!"

The tone was extremely unpleasant!

Li Lan frowned.

In fact, he understood that Celestial Masters were quite special, most of them having a well-established lineage, and truly wild Celestial Masters were very rare.

To avoid the trouble caused by deaths, the Celestial Master Palace requires all Celestial Masters participating in the assessment to have acquaintances who can act as guarantors, which is quite normal.

But for Li Lan...

That is indeed quite difficult.

"Are you a completely self-taught Taoist master?"

Just then, a crisp voice rang out from behind. Li Lan turned around and saw the old man and the young man.

"What's your name, sir?"

Li Lan asked the question casually, without revealing that the other person was a woman.

"My name is Gongsun Moxuan."

A girl disguised as a boy, with red lips and white teeth, spoke up, saying, "Grandpa, shall we vouch for him together?"

She turned around and looked at the old man beside her.

But the old man frowned slightly.

"May I ask your name, young friend?" he asked.

Li Lan's heart stirred, and he said, "Wu Chang."

"Impermanence?!"

The old man was indeed slightly startled for a moment, and said, "You..."

"Old man, please don't misunderstand, it's Kou Tian Wu."

Li Lan said.

"So it's this Wu. This name is not something an ordinary person could bear. It's your good fortune that you've lived this long."

After saying that, he raised his blind eyes and looked at the young man in charge of registration, saying, "Young man, you can write Long Yingtian as the introducer of this young friend Wu Chang."

The young man was surprised. "Master Lung Ying-tien? Do you have any token?"

The old man took out a thumb ring and handed it over. After the young man examined it, he said, "Since he is an acquaintance of Senior Brother Long, then it's fine."

"How many people are taking the assessment? What are their names?"

"Wu Chang".

"Gongsun Moxuan".

The two of them spoke.

Just as the young man was about to finish registering, a voice suddenly rang out:

"Wait a minute!"

A group of people walked over, and the young man in charge of registration immediately stood up, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Mr. Bai and Mr. Xuan Yue."

The two leading figures, one dressed in black with a solemn expression, were Bai Shanchuan from the Bai family, an immortal clan.

The other person, dressed in a moon-colored robe, had a kind face and was Xuan Yue Cheng Qing from the Xuan Yue family.

Both are important figures in the Immortal Clan and are in charge of recruiting talent this time.

"What are your names again?"

Bai Shanchuan glanced coldly at Li Lan and the girl.

“Wu Chang.” Li Lan’s expression remained unchanged.

"What's your relationship with Wu Heng?!" Bai Shanchuan suddenly asked.

Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "I don't know... Tongxing, you should consider it a family business?"

Bai Shanchuan's gaze swept over Li Lan repeatedly, and his divine senses also scanned her, but he found nothing unusual.

"And you, why are you hiding your face?"

Bai Shanchuan then looked at Gongsun Moxuan and, without any politeness, suddenly made a move. Gongsun Moxuan was unable to resist and his hat was snatched away, causing his long, beautiful black hair to flutter.

She immediately attracted attention; her long hair accentuated her stunningly beautiful figure, making her a truly exceptional beauty.

"Please calm down, sir. She is, after all, a woman, and it is inconvenient for her to travel around, so she disguised herself as a man."

The old man next to Gongsun Moxuan said.

"What are your names?" Bai Shanchuan asked coldly.

"I am Gongsun Houlong, and this is my granddaughter, Gongsun Moxuan."

The old man no longer concealed anything.

"Hehe, how did you two come to know Master Long Yingtian? He died at Ancient Demon Mountain several years ago..."

Bai Shanchuan asked in a cold voice.

Gongsun Houlong sighed and said, "To be honest, sir, Long Yingtian once came to us and used this thumb ring as a favor to exchange for some of my ancestors' Celestial Master techniques."

Bai Shanchuan persisted, "Oh? Your ancestors were celestial masters? Do you have any ancestral artifacts?"

Gongsun Houlong frowned and glanced at Gongsun Moxuan, who then took out a bell.

It was a bronze bell, so ancient that it was covered in a layer of verdigris, and had stood for countless years.

"They are indeed descendants of ancient people."

Bai Shanchuan glanced at the bell and said indifferently, "You should go back. You are not qualified to participate in this Celestial Master assessment."

Upon hearing this, both the grandfather and grandson looked grim.

The so-called ancient remnants... in the Eternal True Realm, are a very special group.

These people adhere to ancient traditions and are unwilling to be incorporated into the Eternal Royal Court.

Therefore, they have always been rejected by the mainstream of the world, losing all opportunities, resources and chances.

Countless years have passed, and the ancient inhabitants have become increasingly rare, rarely seen anymore.

"If I remember correctly, the Dongya royal family once issued a clan decree that ancient descendants could also enter the royal court, as long as their talent and aptitude reached the Supreme level and they passed the 'Triple Test'."

At this moment, Li Lan suddenly spoke up, saying calmly, "Lord Bai, in Dongye Prefecture, the clan decree of the Dongya clan should be valid, right?"
