"Junior Brother Xiao, why the sudden departure?"
Master Ming Yan was a bit surprised. "I've been planning these past couple of days. There's a very auspicious date in the middle of next month, perfect for holding your Immortal Ascension Ceremony."
"With your reputation, Junior Brother, we could even invite all the Cultivators from Hezhou."
"We'll hold a grand, unprecedented, super-celebration!"
Of course, another important purpose of the Immortal Ascension Ceremony was to allow a newly-ascended Golden Core True Man to collect a large sum of Spirit Stones, alleviating their financial straits.
In the past, many Cultivators had to bankrupt themselves, even go deep into debt, just to gather the resources for Core Formation.
They had no extra funds to collect materials for forging Spiritual Artifacts.
