After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 230 is all a setup.

Clearly, if they weren't so ill, they wouldn't have condescended to come to the small Xianlai Sect to try their luck as disciples.

If they were in good health, they probably wouldn't have agreed to join the Immortal Sect even if they were asked to.

Upon learning that they had been selected to stay, they were all very excited, and some even couldn't help but shed tears.

What made them happy was not that they were qualified to stay in the Immortal Sect, but that being able to stay meant that their physical condition was not beyond cure!
They had consulted countless alchemists before, but each time they only received despairing answers. This time, they came just to give it one last try, which might very well be their last attempt before they died.

Unexpectedly, they were actually saved!

Mo Jiuwei walked past several people without stopping.

Seeing that there were only about ten people left in the hall, Chen Lan thought that only these four people could be left, but unexpectedly Mo Jiuwei stopped again.

Chen Lan looked over and found that the person was a fair-skinned boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with red lips and white teeth.

I can't tell what's wrong with him.

As for cultivation level... Chen Lan couldn't see through it.

[Huh? Goodness, am I seeing things? This person is actually a Nascent Soul cultivator?]

Mo Jiuwei also raised an eyebrow.

Chen Lan: ! !

She was shocked and stared at the boy in astonishment.

So young, yet already a Nascent Soul cultivator?
Chen Lan had no doubt about Mo Jiuwei's words. Even if she said that this person was an immortal, Chen Lan would believe her unconditionally.

So this person must be a Nascent Soul cultivator, but the question is how did he do it?
Even a genius with a mutated single spiritual root cannot break through to the Nascent Soul stage at this age.

Unless... he took a youth-preserving pill at this age, which would have caused his appearance to remain permanently at this moment.

[Alas, it was her stepmother's scheme that caused her to cultivate the wrong technique, making her grow younger and younger with each practice. How tragic.]

[If you continue cultivating like this, you'll revert to an infant state, at which point you won't be able to unleash your full potential, no matter how high your cultivation level becomes.]

Mo Jiuwei felt great pity for him.

She had just grown up from infancy and knew all too well the helplessness of that time.

I don't get enough sleep every day, my body feels weak and listless, and I get hungry very easily; these things are almost beyond my control.

Even if this person cultivates to the Void Returning stage, what use is it? No matter how much power he has, as long as he is trapped in such a powerless body, he will only suffer more.

This time, without Mo Jiuwei having to say anything, Chen Lan handed out a banner that read, "You're being kept here."

The boy suddenly looked up. "Do you know what illness I have?"

Chen Lan was about to speak when she heard Mo Jiuwei's voice—

Of the entire hall, only five met the criteria.

Well, it's not bad. These five people will all be very strong once they're healed.

Most importantly, they are upright and not evil people, and they have no power or influence, so they can be used by our Immortal Sect.

Mo Jiuwei has already eliminated those with ulterior motives and malicious intentions, and the remaining people are of good character.

Furthermore, given their exceptional talent, they would feel genuinely grateful after being healed by the Immortal Sect. Once they truly acknowledge the Immortal Sect and are willing to serve it, the sect's strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.

Chen Lan was overjoyed, and her eyes lit up.

Knowing that her junior sister was reliable, and that these five people were definitely dependable, she was still happy to hear it with her own ears. "The five people who received the banners can stay; the others were not selected," Chen Lan announced loudly to everyone, snapping out of her reverie.

The strips of cloth were just torn randomly, merely to make a mark; they weren't anything special.

But its significance is very important; only by obtaining the strip of cloth can one receive treatment.

Chen Lan's words were met with disapproval from some people.

"Why? Why can they do it, but we can't!"

"I think there's a conspiracy involved; you all made this arrangement beforehand!"

"I think this is all fake; these people are just shills!"

"If you don't want to treat us, just say so. Why make us drag our sick bodies on a wasted trip just to make your Immortal Sect famous!"

"Waaah, my poor child..."

Some were angry, some wept, and some despaired.

“These five people are complete strangers to our Immortal Sect. As for why we kept them here, it is naturally related to our demands.”

Chen Lan looked at them coldly, "Excuse me for reminding you, but we already agreed that you can be sick, but you must be exceptionally talented! Now I'd like to ask those of you who weren't selected: which of you has a cultivation level above the Golden Core stage, and which of you has a single spiritual root?"

Everyone was speechless, even those who were crying stopped.

At least 60-70% of all cultivators on the mainland are only at the Qi Refining stage, while the rest are Foundation Establishment or higher.

For many people, having three or two spiritual roots and reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is considered quite talented. However, Chen Lan's words about having a single spiritual root and reaching the Golden Core stage left them speechless.

But soon someone became enraged, "We're not Golden Core cultivators, so are those five?"

"I am a Golden Core cultivator," said the old man who had been impaled by the bone-burying nail.

"I am a Nascent Soul cultivator," the boy said.

"Ha, are you kidding me? If you're a Nascent Soul cultivator, then I'm still in the Tribulation Transcending stage!" someone retorted, thinking he was just spouting nonsense.

But soon the man was speechless, because the pressure of the Nascent Soul stage rose from the young man's body, and his cold gaze almost made the man who was speaking prostrate on the ground!
"Then, what about the other three?" a female cultivator asked in a low voice.

She was ultimately unwilling to accept it; having lost the chance for treatment, she had to find out the truth.

"Of the remaining three, one has a special physique, one has a single earth-elemental root, and the other has a mutated single-elemental root," Chen Lan said calmly. "Anyone who thinks they are stronger than them can step forward and push them out of the running."

Quiet.

Eerily quiet.

The people in the hall stared wide-eyed, almost unable to believe it.

The three people were also shocked, because they never expected that Chen Lan would be able to accurately predict their situation!

It was one thing for the Golden Core elder and the Nascent Soul youth to be aware of each other's cultivation levels, but it wasn't a big deal, so no one thought anything of it.

However, even with a special physique and spiritual roots, one can still be exposed, which is terrifying!

It should be noted that Chen Lan had not used any tools or asked any questions since entering the hall, as if she could see through them with just one glance!

This female cultivator seemed to be only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and no one paid her any attention, thinking she was just an ordinary female disciple of the Immortal Sect.

But this seemingly ordinary female disciple was able to see right through people with just one glance.

The Immortal Sect is terrifying!
Now, everyone's attitude towards the Immortal Sect has quietly changed, and they no longer dare to underestimate it in the slightest.
