Yun Ji

The challenges a female cultivator has to overcome on her life journey are countless.
She mustn’t lack in talent, cultivation techniques, medicinal pills or magic weapons. Otherwise, her cultivation will progress too slowly.
She also mustn’t have too many emotions, weaknesses, kindness, or greed - if she has these in excess, she'll soon be saying hello to death.
Moreover, she mustn't look either too pretty or ugly.  Although she mustn’t be stupid, she also mustn't be too smart.
With all this in mind, a certain female cultivator sighs. Why's it so hard to become an Immortal?

Lady Cultivator

The time of her Core-Formation Ceremony was quickly decided.

Qin Shoujing and Li Lingxi failed their soul-formation one after another, dealing a heavy blow to Xuanqing School disciples' passion for cultivating. It was at this moment that Mo Tiange happened to form her Gold Core, just in time to raise the disciples' morale. Consequently, Mo Tiange, who originally intended to keep a low-profile, eventually found her Core-Formation Ceremony much grander than she expected.

Of course, a Core-Formation Ceremony couldn't be compared to a Soul-Formation Ceremony. Not only did they not invite cultivators from other cultivation groups to participate, but they even invited only cultivators in the Foundation Building realm and higher from the school to attend. As for the Aura Refining disciples, they were presumably allowed to come, but it wouldn't matter if they didn't.
