Early in the morning after sunrise, a medium-sized village was revealed, not a large population, not a small one. In a place a little far from the village, an old house seemed like it would fall at any moment. There was a 9-year-old boy named Chen Yi. Chen was an orphan. His father and mother died when he was 7 years old. Today is the anniversary of their death. After their death, Chen relied on himself to get food. He sometimes hunted in the forest, but this left many wounds on his small body. Chen changed his clothes, although they were old, but they were enough for him. He put a necklace around his neck that contained a strangely shaped stone that he found by chance when he fell into a deep hole. He stayed there for two days crying and asking for help, but no one came to help him. But by chance, he found a necklace that was covered with a layer of mud. He put it around his neck, gathered his strength, and climbed up. Chen learned that day that relying on himself was his way to survival. When Chen left the house and wanted to go to the village, when he arrived, he was surprised when he saw all the villagers gathered and the village was decorated. When Chen stopped a man to ask him about the situation, the man stopped, but when he saw Chen  With his dirty face and old clothes, the man was upset and said that he was the village orphan. This was the nickname that the villagers gave to Chen. But Chen answered and said, “Today, the immortals will come to select children who are no less than 15 years old to join the sect and become immortals.” Chen asked the man, “What do you mean by immortals?” But the man did not care about Chen’s questions and left. After a moment, Chen saw something he had never seen before. An old man was riding a sword. In front of the old man were two people. One of them was a girl and she was beautiful. The other was a middle-aged man. Chen asked himself, “Is this what the man means by immortals?” What shocked Chen even more was that all the people in the village prostrated. He was the only one standing in the middle of a large crowd. After a moment, Chen saw the village leader running and bowing to the old man and saying, “Welcome, immortal. Welcome to the village.” He said, “Come in.” The old man sat in a luxurious chair with a girl and a man standing on either side of him. He said, “You can call the children. Let’s start the test.” The village leader bowed and said, “Bring the children.” 100 children came forward. Among the children were the village leader’s sons. The village leader had twin daughters. The eldest’s name was Su Yang and the youngest was Su  Yan was the same age as Chen and had an elder son who was three years older than Chen. His name was Su Chen. He bullied him once. When Chen caught a lot of fish, he happened to meet the son of the village chief and his friends. They wanted to take the fish from him, but no matter how hard they beat him, Chen did not give up the fish. Chen lost consciousness while holding the fish. The son of the village chief and his friends got tired and left.

Qin Yi walked forward with the rest of the children. He decided that he would become immortal to change his life and live a better life. 

The son of the village chief approached and Su Chen said, “Live the immortal.” The old man took out a stone and said, “Put your hand on the stone.” Su Chen put his hand on the stone. After a moment, it lit up with three colors. The old man said, “Fire, earth, and water roots are qualified. Stand to the right.” The village chief was happy because his son was chosen. After that, Su Yang walked forward and put her hand on the stone. After a moment, it lit up with a single blue color. The old man stood up from the chair in surprise. “Rare ice root is qualified. You have become a disciple. But there is still something that will shock the old man even more.” Su Yan then walked forward and put her hand. After a moment, it lit up with a single red color. The old man was shocked again.  He almost fainted and was happy because he met two rare talents today. Su Yan was confused. The old man looked at her and said, “Eligible.” Su Yan stood in front of her sister and brother. After that, the old man tested the rest of the children. Only a few children passed.

When it was Chen Yi's turn, he was afraid to approach. The villagers noticed and laughed. But Chen Yi mustered his courage and approached. He put his hand on a stone. After a moment, five lights lit up. The old man was a little surprised. After that, he said, "You are qualified, but you have rubbish spiritual roots." When he noticed that there was no one left, he said to the children who had succeeded, "Say goodbye to your families because we will quickly set off to the sect." The children said goodbye to their families. Only Chen Yi could see everyone saying goodbye to their families except him. He remained alone, holding his necklace tightly to calm himself down. After that, the old man said, "Enough, we will set off." He presented the village leader with a bag full of silver and gold. He took out a flying boat and ordered the children to ride it. Chen Yi got on the boat and was very happy that he had been chosen. However, what he did not know was that many hardships awaited him and a long road to immortality.
