Baizong City.

The crowd was like weaving, Wu Shaoqi, Yao Bingyu, Udon, several other direct disciples, and Elder Xin Lan walked among the crowd.

"There are more people who want to join the sect this year than last year, but their qualifications are uneven." Xin Lan looked around and said.

"There is no 10-year sect ranking compared to the previous two years, the requirements of each sect will be appropriately lowered, and there will always be people who want to try their luck." Udon said with a smile.

Xin Lan glanced at her, but said nothing.

Udon was the last time he joined the Wanhuang Sect in the last ten years.

And, she was one of those people she called chance.

Her aptitude is actually average. If it hadn't been for the chance to change her aptitude later, I'm afraid she is still just a handyman disciple of Wanhuang Sect, or at most an outer sect.

Speaking of this matter, Udon was also sighing. Looking at the young people rushing to and fro on the streets of more than 20 meters wide, he thought to himself how many of these people who came to Baizongcheng were able to worship the sect?

Regardless of the fact that there are hundreds of sects with rankings, it sounds like a lot, but the number of disciples recruited every year is actually just over 10,000.

It’s not just about accepting disciples. After entering the sect, you need money for food, drink, and Lazard. You also need money to subsidize training resources. You can accept it with a wave of your hand, but if you can’t afford it, it will be shameful. .

Therefore, each denomination has a limited number of disciples.

Some sects that follow the elite route recruit fewer disciples every year, and sometimes they can’t find good aptitudes, so there are some who simply refuse to accept them.

For example, the fifth-ranked Jade Light Sword Sect took the elite route. Last year and the year before last, he accepted three disciples in total. The year before the year before, he didn't find any suitable aptitudes, so he also took one of his disciples.

There are many people who want to worship the Jade Light Sword Sect, and there are still few people who are ranked high, which means that there will be more cultivation resources at hand.

However, these have little to do with Xin Lan and the others. Their Wanhuang Sect still does not have such a reputation, which makes everyone want to worship the Wanhuang Sect.

And their standards for recruiting disciples are also positioned on female disciples, and there are many restrictions.

"Fourth Elder, how many disciples will our Wanhuang Sect recruit this time?" a direct disciple asked.

Last year, the Wanhuang Sect recruited a total of two hundred disciples. Most of the two hundred people are now in the outer sect, and a small number of them are in the inner sect. Only one person has become a direct disciple.

But this time, both she and her junior sister were taught the God Refinement Art. When they set off, the junior sister was still in retreat.

Not all of the seventeen people who practiced the Divine Refinement Secret Art in seclusion were out of the seclusion.

Thinking of this, the direct passer couldn't help but glanced at Wu Shaoqi, feeling a little skeptical. To say that several other sisters and sisters who were in the same position passed away, she actually expected it, but Wu Shaoqi also passed away, which is a bit out of the blue. As expected, she now doubts whether Wu Shaoqi has not cultivated at all.

But thinking too much is useless. Whether Wu Shaoqi has cultivated or not, it has little to do with them.

Although Wu Shaoqi is a personal biography, many of them do not take him as a real biography at all.

Wu Shaoqi became a direct disciple. In the eyes of many people, it was due to good luck and the affection that he had been raised by the sect master since he was a child that the sect master accepted him as a direct descendant.

It's a pity that Wu Shaoqi didn't live up to his expectations at all, and he never lacked in cultivation resources, but he grew up in Wanhuangzong since he was a child.

Thinking of this, the pro-passer shook his head slightly.

"It's about the same as last year." Xin Lan pondered for a moment and said.

This is the meaning that several elders discussed together.

At the beginning, everyone's idea was to accept more disciples, and for this reason, they did not hesitate to appropriately lower some aptitude requirements.

But the day before the departure, after the five elders discussed it again, they finally decided to be consistent with previous years.

Since the Wanhuang Sect was going to earn rankings, it was useless to rely on the number of disciples.

Instead of lowering the requirement to accept some disciples with poor aptitude, and after accepting the sect, they will also pay a lot of resources, so it is better to use the original resources on the disciples with better aptitude.

It is much better to increase high-end combat power than to recruit a large number of disciples with poor qualifications.

To put it more nasty, a high-grade cultivator can cut dozens of middle-grade cultivators with one sword, but if dozens of middle-grades surround a high-grade, there is a great possibility for people to counter-kill, even if the counter-kill fails, It is not difficult to kill a few prominent ones and escape.

Hearing Xin Lan's words, several direct disciples nodded.

Use this to judge where the Wanhuang Sect's sect ranking target is set for next year.

In fact, with the Spirit Refinement Technique, everyone felt that next year's sect rankings would definitely rise higher than the Wanhuang Sect's rankings. As for how much to rise, the elders set their goals, this is not very clear.

But now heard the fourth elder say that the number of disciples recruited today is similar to last year, that is, they are not ready to earn the top 20.

There were all kinds of guesses in the minds of the direct descendants, and Xin Lan didn't say much, just calmly glanced at a few direct descendants.

"It's here." Xin Lan said when she saw a building with a signboard with the word "Phoenix" on the street.

Several direct disciples looked at them together.

Some people have seen this building and some have not seen it. For example, Udon, she has seen it before, because she worshipped Wanhuangzong in Baizongcheng ten years ago, and it is not surprising to know this building.

In the personal biography that came over this time, there was another person just like her. Apart from that, the others came from other places to worship the Wanhuang Sect.

For example, Wu Shaoqi was directly sent to Wanhuang Sect by Tuo Gu.

Another example is Yao Bingyu, who was brought back to the Wanhuangzong six years ago by the head of the Wanhuangzong who traveled down the mountain and discovered it in a mortal kingdom.

In the personal biography, only a small number of them came from the disciples who were admitted to the sect from Baizongcheng, and more of them were collected by the elders of the peaks who went down the mountain to collect them.

It's not that there are no good seedlings who come to Baizongcheng to apprentice. There are actually quite a few good seedlings, but if they can become a direct handed down of Wanhuang Sect, they may actually become handed down by going to a better sect.

At this time, the benefits of fame are reflected. These people are often more willing to join the higher-ranked sects as inner disciples, and they also feel that it is better than joining the Wanhuang sect to be a personal heir.

There is a saying that it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, but this sentence is not very useful in the monk world.

The main reason is actually the upper limit.

The sects in the lower ranks are indeed valued, but the upper limit of the cultivation path is a flaw.

To put it simply, the upper limit of major sects is rank 9, the upper limit of ordinary sects may be rank 8, and there are almost rank 6 or 7.

Since they all choose to enter the monk world, then of course they have to choose a sect with a higher upper limit.

The cultivator doesn't have much heart, so don't be a cultivator.
