Maybe I shouldn't die.

Fang Yue had also seen a young man bringing a boy to the canteen to get food in the Sixun Mansion canteen. He was the same young man she met in the Zhucheng Inn.

By chance, they learned from the young man who had received them that the young man was the lucky one who was selected in the last Ascension Meeting.

The boy was born into a prominent family, but his family later fell into poverty and he had to go to his fiancée's family for help. When his fiancée's family saw that he was penniless, they not only ridiculed him, but also kicked him out.

When he was in poverty, he was met by a Taoist who was looking for immortality seeds, and was given an immortality order. The young man was lucky, and was successfully selected with his outstanding immortality qualifications.

It is said that he came back this time to get rid of the mortal world. He originally wanted to go to his former fiancée's house to avenge the humiliation he suffered in the past. However, he learned that his fiancée's family had also suffered a disaster and almost lost their family. They humiliated him and drove him away just to avoid implicating him. Later, in order to continue the family, his fiancée's family had no choice but to offer their daughter to a powerful family as a concubine.

Although the family was saved, the woman was unhappy and died a few years ago. She left behind only one son, who was bullied at home. Fortunately, his master went with him and found that the child had the talent to cultivate immortality, so he accepted him as his disciple. Now the boy is often with him.

Fang Yue was deeply shocked after hearing this. It was such a bloody story. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that art really comes from life.

On the seventh day of October, the beginning of winter, it was drizzling. Fang Yue and her family got up early and rushed to the city center square.

There were already quite a few pedestrians on the road, most of whom were like them, bringing their children to attend the Ascension Meeting.

When Fang Yue arrived at the venue, there was already a long queue. Fang Yue and her family hurriedly joined the queue. After a while, many people lined up behind them.

After a while, a loud voice came from the platform in front.

"quiet!"

The noise stopped instantly, and Fang Yue looked towards its source curiously.

Here it comes, Fang Yue thought, can she step into that mysterious world? She will know the result soon.

The field was so silent that Fang Yue could even hear the breathing of the people around her.

She was too far away from the platform and couldn't see who was talking. She could only vaguely see a white figure standing in the middle of the platform.

Suddenly, the figure in front of him became clear. It was a middle-aged Taoist priest with an immortal look.

The Taoist first looked around. Then he said:

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started without further delay."

As the words fell, a curtain of light rose in front of him. When the curtain of light receded, a jade-colored door was revealed. On the door was carved dancing cranes, which was very much in line with the temperament of an immortal cultivator.

The team started to move, and Fang Yue followed the team forward. The monks who were patrolling nearby explained:

"This checkpoint is only to verify the age of the child. Children under 15 years old can pass through the gate smoothly, and those over the age will be stopped at the gate."

There was a commotion coming from the front. It turned out that a teenager who was over the age limit was bounced back by the door. Before the boy could react, someone from the patrol office came forward and took him away.

"People like them will be temporarily detained in the cells of the Si Xun Mansion. After the Ascension Meeting is over, they will be marked and expelled from Yishui City. They will never be allowed to set foot in Yishui again."

The team moved very quickly and soon it was Fang Yue's turn. After saying goodbye to her father and brother, she walked in firmly.

After passing through a door that looked like a mist, Fang Yue stood firm and looked forward.

There was a desk in front, and behind it stood a round-faced girl who was questioning the child who came forward. Next to her, another girl with an oval face was holding a jade slip in her hand, and seemed to be recording some information.

Soon it was Fang Yue's turn. The round-faced girl asked:

"Can you hold the Ascension Order?"

"Yes," Fang Yue hurriedly took out the Ascension Order and handed it to the girl.

The girl took the Ascension Order, a light flashed across her fingertips, and after carefully examining Fang Yue, she said to the oval-faced girl next to her:

"Senior Sister Xu, the information is correct."

Seeing the oval-faced girl nodded, the round-faced girl turned around, handed the Ascension Order back to Fang Yue, and instructed:

"Go right, to the small courtyard over there."

Fang Yue took the Ascension Order and walked towards the courtyard according to the girl's instructions.

At the gate of the courtyard, several children were waiting. When they saw Fang Yue arriving, the young man who received them led them into the courtyard.

The children followed the boy's instructions and sat cross-legged on the cushions in the middle of the yard.

The young man just opened his mouth and said to another young man beside him:

"Brother, please activate the formation."

The other young man then raised the formation plate in his hand and injected spiritual energy into it.

I saw a round of Bagua circling above the formation plate, slowly floating above everyone's heads, and shedding soft white light.

Seeing that everyone was dazzled, the young man coughed and reminded:

"Close your eyes, sink your qi into your dantian, and let your hands hang naturally at your sides."

Fang Yue did as she was told, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Gradually, a strange fragrance lingered at the tip of her nose, different from the usual incense. This fragrance was extremely refreshing and enveloped her.

As if she was in a fairyland far away from the earthly world, Fang Yue felt her whole body calm down, her mind was clear, and her consciousness passed through her body. She seemed to be in a third-person perspective. She clearly saw that there were blue-green spots of light wandering around her, and the one above her head was the most obvious, as if many spots of light were gathered together.

"Okay, wake up."

Fang Yue opened her eyes. Where were the light spots around her? She was sitting in the middle of the yard, looking around. Most of the children had light spots on their heads. Fang Yue counted them and found that there were five colors in total: gold, green, blue, red, and yellow.

There are only a few without light spots, and few with single colors. Most are a mixture of several colors.

There were two colors, three colors, and even four or five colors mixed together. The color of the light spots roughly corresponded to the spiritual bodies. Fang Yue couldn't see the color above her head, and thought that what she had just seen were mostly green and blue, so the light spots above her head should be of two colors.

The young man first told the children without light spots on their heads that they had no spirits and could leave, and then he erased the information on the Ascension Orders in their hands.

After the children left, Fang took the ascension orders of Fang Yue and his group and entered the information into them.

He told the children in detail the number of their respective spirits and told them to remember the information before leading them out.

There was another young man at the door, leading another group of children to go in. The two men bowed to each other.

The boy led them to a high platform where many children had gathered. He showed them a good spot, told them to wait there, and left.

The children were a little restless at first, but when they saw that they were surrounded by friends of similar age, they soon became active and started looking for people they knew to talk to.

A little girl also came over to Fang Yue. There were only two girls in their team. She smiled shyly at her and said:

"My name is Zhou Xiao, and I always smile."

Her face is like a silver plate, her eyebrows are beautiful, and her eyes are crescent-shaped when she smiles. She makes people like her at first sight, and her name really suits her.

"My name is Fang Yue, the Yue in Yuejuan and Qixin"

"Your name is really nice. I'm eight years old. What about you?"

“I just turned six.”

Her eyes lit up and she smiled: "I am two years older than you."

Fang Yue was not a talkative person, she answered every question Zhou Xiao asked. As the two of them asked and answered, she had already understood Zhou Xiao's identity to some extent.
