Refine the soul

  "Brother Chu, I passed the assessment, haha!"

  Just as Chu Yi walked onto the high platform, he was warmly hugged by an excited Tie Niu. If he hadn't already entered the Xiantian realm, this one hug would have been enough to take half his life away.

  "Not bad, you and I both passed the assessment, it seems that we are both people with a deep fate!"

  Chu Yi was also sincerely happy for Tie Niu, saying: "Tie Niu, but you need to know that the world is difficult and people's hearts are hard to measure. You have a straightforward temperament, so in the future if something happens, you must remember to think thrice before acting, or come find me to discuss it, don't act impulsively."

  Tie Niu rubbed his head and chuckled: "Chu Ge, I'll listen to you."

  Some people failed and left, some entered the trial field. Three hours later, this assessment of the entrance examination finally came to an end. During this period, Chu Yi and Tie Niu were led by a special person in charge of receiving them to a separate courtyard behind the trial field after passing the assessment.

  At this time, there were eighteen people gathered in the courtyard, all of whom had passed the assessment. Apart from Chu Yi's innate first-grade strength, two others possessed third and fifth-grade cultivation strengths respectively.

  "Thousands of people in Huayun Mine, seeking the way of immortality, there are those with great willpower, can't they just stop at one person?"

  Chu Yi let out a sigh at the same time, and the examiners who had just conducted the assessment on the high platform entered another courtyard together.

  The oldest monk among the crowd, also the only yellow-robed man with innate Ninth Realm cultivation, stepped forward and slowly said: "First of all, congratulations to everyone for passing the outer door disciple assessment. I'm sure you've all heard some news by now. This time is a rare 'Grand Selection' that occurs once every hundred years in the Supreme Profound Sun Sect. Not only will we be recruiting one thousand new outer door disciples at once, but twelve lucky individuals will also directly become inner door disciples..."

  He paused, his eyes sweeping over the excited faces of the young people present, and seemed to have gained some insight. "The path of cultivating immortality is fraught with unprecedented danger, and it's impossible to succeed without great wisdom, great luck, and great opportunity. Everyone here has already taken this step, but whether or not they can rise to the heavens in one leap and become inner disciples, I, Yan, have no right to predict. Now, let us invite our sect's true person to come and observe everyone's destiny."

  As they spoke, the Yan surname man raised his hand and crushed a jade token. Suddenly, a majestic immortal crane flew out like an arrow of light, drawing a white trail in the azure sky, and vanished into the crowd's line of sight in an instant.

  In the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the direction where the immortal crane flew away suddenly burst into a magnificent golden light, with strange phenomena emerging one after another. Five incredibly fast rays of light arrived in a flash, like thunder and lightning, their momentum so great that it seemed as if the blue sky was falling from the heavens. It truly opened the eyes of all the ordinary miners, including Chu Yi.

  Five figures emerged from the distance, seemingly slow but actually swift. Just a moment ago, they were still in the far horizon, and in just one breath, they broke through the air and arrived at another courtyard. Five men with different appearances stood before everyone's eyes, their bodies surrounded by spiritual energy, and clouds seemed to be visible under their feet.

  "The disciple pays respects to his ancestral master."

  The man surnamed Yan who had been leading the way bowed and shouted loudly to the crowd.

  "Never mind, time is precious, let's start selecting people then."

  Among the five, the long-faced monk in the first position on the left waved his hand, and the Yan surname man and others retreated to one side. The eyes of the eighteen selected miners, including Chu Yi, were instantly focused on the five golden elixir cultivators who had suddenly arrived.

  The innate can be built on the foundation, and then from the foundation to the opening of the light, fusion, spiritual tranquility, and finally, if you can form the golden elixir, you can increase your lifespan by 600 years. Ten years of innate, hundred years of golden elixir, thousand years of yuan ying, and transformation of spirit according to fate is not just a casual remark. In fact, for this sentence, it should be supplemented with a major premise, that is, under the conditions of great wisdom, great fortune, and great opportunity.

  Also known as the Supreme Mysterious Yang Sect, it is one of the nine major super sects. If other medium and small sects can produce one or two Golden Elixir True Persons, that would already be an extremely rare occurrence.

  Xuanyuan Star's millions of practitioners, those who can reach the Golden Elixir stage in their lifetime will not exceed 10%, and among this 10%, seven or eight out of ten are fake Dans that do not enter the flow. Those who truly achieve the Great Completion of the Golden Elixir and have hopes to continue impacting the Yuanying realm are even more scarce, fearing that even among tens of thousands of people, it is still difficult to find one.

  Masters are already one in a thousand or ten thousand, while Golden Elixir masters are one in a million or even ten million, a genius born of heaven.

  It's all thanks to Chu Yi's previous exchange with Bai Qi that his horizons have broadened, otherwise he would be just like the people around him now, worshipping the five Golden Dan True Immortals who are standing in front of him as if they were gods descended from heaven.

  Jin Dan's true self was so intimidating that with just one glance, everyone didn't dare to look him in the eye for even a moment. The aura of an absolute superior had a suffocating effect on people, making it hard to breathe. Even with Chu Yi's robust circulation of spiritual energy within his body, he could only hold out for two or three breaths before having to avert his gaze.

  It was precisely these three or two breaths of time that dared to face the gaze of the five Golden Dan True People, which left an impression on Chu Yi in the hearts of the five Golden Dan True People.

  "You, you... and you... stay behind, everyone else leave."

  Chang Lian selected three people from among eighteen, and not only was Chu Yi included in the list, but also Tie Niu was left behind.

  And another person was not one of the two miners with innate realm strength, but a slender and pale young man who looked like he would fall down with just one blow of the wind.

  After Yan surname man took others away, the big courtyard only left five gold pill true people and Chu Yu and three people.

  Among the five Golden Elixir True Men, the one in the middle was a middle-aged man with red beard and hair, his face beaming with joy as he gazed at the frail young boy. Chuckling with delight, he said: "Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable! I, Dan Yangzi, have been searching all over the prosperous Tang Nation for an entire month, only to come up empty-handed. Who would have thought that in this small mining district, I'd find a fine young talent possessing the Seven Absolute Fire Veins? Come here, boy, follow me!"

  That frail youth was taken aback at first, but he was quick-witted and took three steps in two strides to reach Dan Yangzi's side. The latter didn't say much either, just nodded his head at the other four Golden Elixir cultivators before taking off with the frail youth, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

  It was strange that Dan Yangzi chose the weak young man, and the other four Golden Elixir True Men all showed a hint of joy. To know that people like them who have achieved great things in their cultivation are always calm and composed, with their emotions hidden inside, unknown to others. Yet, something had caused the four of them to reveal signs of happiness that ordinary people could detect.

  "Danyangzi's senior brother is still as impulsive as ever, saying he'll leave and then leaving immediately."

  The speaker was a man with a sturdy physique, half a head taller than Iron Bull, his body covered in armor, with yellow fur wrapped around him, and when he spoke, his voice was like thunder, shocking to hear.

  "Hey kid, come here." The tall and sturdy man pointed in the direction of Tie Niu and said calmly.

  "Is it me?" Tie Niu was still somewhat bewildered, pointing at his own nose and saying stupidly.

  "Tie Niu, of course I'm calling you, hurry up and go over." Chu Yi worried that Tie Niu's dazed expression would anger the former, so he quietly reminded him.

  Tie Niu had already regarded Chu Yi as a close friend, so he naturally listened to his words and strode out in big steps, coming to the side of that tall and sturdy man.

  "Although his foundation is slightly weaker, he has a strong and sturdy body, innate divine power, making him the perfect candidate to cultivate the Thick Earth Peak's technique."

  Dahan looked at Tie Niu with great satisfaction, then turned to the other three Golden Elixir cultivators and said: "Fellow daoists, I won't compete with you for this disciple. Although he's a bit dull-witted, he suits my taste just fine. We'll meet again within our sect."

  Only three Golden Elixir True Men were left, seemingly relieved as if they had put down a burden, all letting out a long sigh. This scene was quite strange and made Chu Yi somewhat bewildered.

  Seeing the three of them focusing their attention on himself, he felt like the Mona Lisa in the British Museum. Even Chu Yi, who was usually thick-skinned, felt like he was naked under the gaze of the three Golden Dan Real Bodies, and he became somewhat at a loss for what to do.

  Before Chu Yi could react, the three Golden Dan True Men actually started arguing in front of him.
