During the time designated for selecting wandering members of the Human race, Lin Yi gave priority to Cultivators at the Divinity Transformation and Refining Void Realms. These two realms served as a bridge between the former and the latter stages: upon reaching Divinity Transformation, one possesses a Primordial Spirit, which can survive independently even if the body is destroyed, while Refining Void lays the foundation for the subsequent Fusion stage.
Of course, if he discovered a Nascent Soul or Golden Core with promising potential, he wouldn't mind giving them a bit of guidance; they wouldn't need to visit his Cave Mansion to understand the Dao.
Previously, when he was journeying through the Demon Tribe's territory, he didn't step foot in all locations. It was the same with the Human race. Some cities he could tell with just one sweep of his Primordial Spirit that there were no outstanding Cultivators inside, thus eliminating the need for a visit.
