Chapter 54 – Clean up


Chen Mobai called Qing Nv, but she didn’t answer.

He searched the platform where she got off, but it was like finding a needle in a haystack, yielding no results.

At this moment, he blamed himself for not getting off the bus with her and escorting her home.

It wasn’t until his internal spiritual power was exhausted and he could no longer maintain his levitation technique that Chen Mobai, panting heavily, sat down on a roadside stone, contemplating all the information he had about Qing Nv.

“That’s right, she’s a student at the First High School of the Immortal Gate. She should be at school at this time.”

Chen Mobai had taken the day off. He checked the time and found that it should be the free usage period for the school’s cultivation room. If that was the case, Qing Nv’s phone would definitely be in do not disturb mode.

He waited until his internal spiritual power had somewhat recovered, then took a bus towards the First High School of the Immortal Gate.

……

“If none of you have any issues, then let’s finalize this year’s exam papers.”

At the peak of the Spirit Mountain, the red-robed Taoist master made the final decision after coordinating everyone’s opinions.

“Yuan He, you can make some changes according to these suggestions.”

Upon hearing the Taoist master’s words, Yuan He, who was in charge of setting the questions, immediately stood up and nodded, then collected all the revised papers from the four major Taoist academies and several school representatives.

“I’ll leave first.”

“Alright.”

After Yuan He left, the red-robed Taoist master began the main topic of the day.

“What tricks are you planning to play in this year’s entrance exam for your Taoist academies and schools?”

The college entrance examination score is used to filter out those without a spiritual root. Only after meeting the college entrance examination standard can one apply to the four major Taoist academies and ten major schools according to the score line. Only after these sixteen have made their selections does it come to the turn of schools like Chixia Danzhu.

Every year, the entrance exams set by the four major Taoist academies and ten major schools can be combined or tested separately.

However, to save public resources, they are usually conducted together.

In one assessment, many checkpoints are set up, and then scores are given based on everyone’s performance. If someone is favored by one of the four major Taoist academies, they naturally get the first pick. If two academies are interested in the same student, then it’s up to the student to choose.

However, this has never happened in Danxia City.

Only in those top-ranked major cave heavens are there spiritual root Taoist seeds that all four major Taoist academies can’t help but compete for.

“There’s an order from above this year, so I don’t need to rack my brains. Taoist master, please see, this is the dean’s reply.”

Lan Haitian spoke first, smiling as he handed a letter to the red-robed Taoist master, who took it and couldn’t help but marvel.

“This is strange, how did the old guy come up with this?”

The young man in the white suit frowned, but he also took out a letter. This was given to him by his teacher when he left the Taoist academy, and it also specifically designated this year’s entrance exam content.

“Taoist master, this is from our department head.”

The red-robed Taoist master took it and looked at it, his eyes widening in surprise. He then looked up at the other representatives of the Taoist academies and schools.

These people hesitated for a moment, then simultaneously took out envelopes. The red-robed Taoist master flicked his finger, and all the envelopes fell into his hands. His divine consciousness left his body and read all the contents, his face full of disbelief.

“This is indeed a rare entrance exam in history.”

After reading all the identical contents on the envelopes, the red-robed Taoist master’s expression calmed down. As a Golden Elixir Taoist master, he also saw some of the upper echelons’ intentions from this entrance exam.

“I see, let’s arrange it according to this. The location will be my Danzhu Academy.”

After the red-robed Taoist master finished speaking, several representatives of the schools stood up and excused themselves, followed by the four major Taoist academies.

After everyone had left the mountain, a woman’s voice rang out from the wooden house at the top of the Spirit Mountain.

“Thank you for your hard work, Master Yu.”

“Tsk, now I know why you’re hiding. Did you know about this in advance?”

“Sort of, but I’m indeed at a critical stage in my cultivation and can’t move. I can only trouble you.”

“Alright, I’ll take over the college entrance examination, but the affairs of the Law Hall are not within my jurisdiction. You’ll have to solve it yourself, senior sister.”

After the red-robed Taoist master finished speaking, a person who had originally left the mountain returned.

“Law Hall’s Lan Haitian pays his respects to the two Taoist masters.”

Lan Haitian, who had met Chen Mobai twice, solemnly saluted the red-robed Taoist master and the Taoist master in the wooden house, Shi Qing.

“I was wondering how the Kunpeng Taoist Academy could possibly send you, a Golden Elixir Taoist seed, to Danxia City to handle the entrance exam. Tell me, is it the academy’s order, or the hall master’s command?”

The red-robed Taoist master, as a Golden Elixir cultivator, had also heard of Lan Haitian’s fame. He was one of the most likely to form a Golden Elixir in the next generation, on par with the Fairy of Qiongzhi from the Natural School.

Because Lan Haitian was also a law master in one of the three halls of the Immortal Gate, the Law Hall, his reputation was even higher than that of the Ice Spirit Root from the Natural School, who was devoted to cultivation.

“It’s the hall master’s command.”

Facing the two Golden Elixir Taoist masters, Lan Haitian didn’t hide anything and answered truthfully.

“What’s the matter?”

The red-robed Taoist master asked again, but Lan Haitian just shook his head with a bitter smile.

“This matter is internal to the hall, I’m afraid I can’t let the Taoist master know.”

“Alright, then I’ll leave first.”

Although the red-robed Taoist master was very curious, he was a person devoted to cultivation and didn’t dare to really get involved in the affairs of the Law Hall. Upon hearing this, he immediately laughed and set up his escape light, disappearing from the top of the Spirit Mountain.

“I understand the hall master’s intentions.”

After Lan Haitian delivered a scroll to the wooden house, he received this sentence from Shi Qing Taoist master. Although the latter didn’t say anything more, he had already understood the Taoist master’s meaning.

“Yes, junior bids farewell.”

……

Evergreen Pharmacy.

After Gu Changfeng closed the door, he was about to continue refining medicine, but as soon as he stepped into the backyard, he found an unexpected guest.

A person wearing a Thunder God mask was standing on the vat in the center of the courtyard, looking down at him from above.

“Why are you here?””Why did Lan Haitian come looking for you?”

“He was assigned as the chief examiner for Kunpeng Dao Academy in Danxia City this year. Knowing that I was living in seclusion here, he came to catch up.”

“That’s truly terrifying.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changfeng furrowed his brows, “What do you mean by that?”

“You know it too, Lan Haitian has killed many of us. I tremble with fear whenever I hear his name.”

Gu Changfeng grew impatient, “What are you trying to say?”

“To avoid being found by Lan Haitian, I can only cut off the clues here with you.”

“You…”

Gu Changfeng’s eyes widened in anger, his majestic spiritual power surged, and a medicine furnace flew out from the courtyard, transforming into a light shield that enveloped him.

But at the same time, a thunderbolt lit up the clear sky.

A purple lightning bolt burst from the void above Gu Changfeng’s head, turning his skull into ashes.

After killing Gu Changfeng, the man in the Thunder God mask jumped out of the medicine vat, picked up the former’s phone, and dialed a number: “The person has been dealt with, you come and clean up.”

“He has a female disciple, she might know something, aren’t you going to deal with her too?”

This sentence came from the phone thrown on the floor, but the man in the Thunder God mask had already disappeared from the spot.
