Chapter 129
Baizong City.
The crowd was like weaving, Wu Shaoqi, Yao Bingyu, Wu Dong, several other direct disciples, and Elder Xin Lan walked in the crowd.
"There are more people who want to join the sect this year than last year, but the qualifications are uneven." Xin Lan looked around and said.
"Every ten years the ranking of sects is higher than that of the previous two years. The requirements of each sect will be lowered appropriately. There are always people who want to try their luck." Udon said with a smile.
Xin Lan glanced at her, but said nothing.
It was the year before the last ten-year competition that Udon joined the Myriad Phoenix Sect.
Moreover, she is one of the people she said to try her luck.
Her aptitude is actually mediocre. If she hadn't had a chance to change her aptitude later on, she would still be just a handyman disciple of the Wanhuang Sect, or at most become an outer sect.
Speaking of this matter, Udon also sighed endlessly, looking at the young people hurrying to and fro on the street more than [-] meters wide, he thought in his heart how many of these people who came to Baizong City could join the sect?
Even though there are hundreds of sects with rankings, it sounds like a lot, but the number of disciples recruited each year is actually just over [-].
Accepting disciples is not just responsible for accepting them. After entering the sect, you need money for eating, drinking, and scatter, and you also need money for subsidizing cultivation resources. You can accept them with a wave of your hand. .
Therefore, each denomination has a limit on the number of disciples it can accept.
Some sects that follow the elite route recruit fewer disciples every year, and sometimes they can't find good qualifications, and they just don't accept them.
For example, the fifth-ranked Jade Sword Sect took the elite route. Last year and the year before last, it took in a total of three disciples. In the year before last, because it couldn't find suitable qualifications, it also took away a single disciple.
There are many people who want to join the Jade Sword Sect, but there are still few people who rank high, which means that there will be more training resources in hand.
But these have nothing to do with Xin Lan and the others. They are not yet so famous in the Myriad Phoenix Sect, which makes everyone want to join the Myriad Phoenix Sect.
And their criteria for recruiting disciples are also set at female disciples, which is quite restrictive.
"Fourth elder, how many disciples will our Myriad Phoenix Sect recruit this time?" A direct disciple asked.
Last year, the Myriad Phoenix Sect recruited a total of 200 disciples. Most of these 200 people are now in the outer sect, and a small part of them are in the inner sect. Only one person has become a direct disciple.
But this time she and her junior sister were both taught the formula of refining the gods. When they set off, the junior sister was still in retreat.
Not all of the seventeen personal disciples who practiced the God-refining Jue in seclusion have passed the seclusion.
Thinking of this, this in-person biography couldn't help but glanced at Wu Shaoqi, feeling a little skeptical in her heart. She actually expected that the other teachers and sisters in the same in-person biography had all left the customs, but Wu Shaoqi had also left the customs, which was a bit out of the ordinary. Contrary to her expectations, she now wonders if Wu Shaoqi didn't practice at all.
But it's useless to think too much, no matter whether Wu Shaoqi has practiced or not, it actually has little to do with them.
Although Wu Shaoqi is said to be a personal biography, many personal biographies do not regard him as a real personal biography at all.
Wu Shaoqi became a direct disciple. In many people's eyes, it was good luck and the affection of being raised by the headmaster, which made the headmaster accept him as a direct disciple.
It's a pity that Wu Shaoqi didn't live up to it at all. He has never been short of cultivation resources, but he grew up in the Myriad Phoenix Sect since he was a child, and until now, it seems that he hasn't even stepped into the first rank.
Thinking of this, the bishop shook his head slightly.
"It's about the same as last year." Xin Lan pondered for a moment, then said.
This is what several elders discussed together.
At the beginning, everyone's idea was to recruit more disciples, so they did not hesitate to lower some qualification requirements appropriately.
But the day before departure, after the five elders discussed it again, they finally decided to be consistent with previous years.
Since Myriad Phoenix Sect wants to earn rankings, relying on the number of disciples is useless.
Instead of lowering the requirement to accept some disciples with poor aptitude, and receiving a lot of resources for manuscript fees after entering the sect, it is better to use the original resources on disciples with better aptitude.
Increasing high-end combat power is much better than accepting a large number of disciples with poor qualifications.
To put it more harshly, a high-rank cultivator can kill dozens of middle-rank cultivators with one strike, but dozens of mid-rank monks can kill a high-rank cultivator, but there is a great possibility that people will fight back. It is not difficult to kill a few prominent encirclement and escape.
Hearing Xin Lan's words, several direct disciples nodded one after another.
Use this to judge where the goal of the Wanhuang Sect's sect ranking competition next year will be.
In fact, after having the God Refining Art, everyone felt that next year's sect ranking would definitely rise compared to the ranking of the Wanhuang Sect. As for how much it would rise, it was not very clear what the elders set their goals for.
But now that the fourth elder said that the number of disciples recruited today is about the same as last year, it means that they are not ready to earn the top [-].
The pro-disciples had various guesses in their minds, and Xin Lan didn't say much, but just calmly glanced at the several pro-disciples.
"Here we are." Xin Lan said when she saw a building with a signboard with the word "Huang" on the side of the street.
Several direct disciples looked over together.
Some people have seen this building and some have not. For example, Udon, she has seen it, because she joined the Wanhuang Sect in Baizong City ten years ago, so it is not surprising to know this building.
In the personal biography I followed this time, there was another person like her, and the others all joined the Wanhuang Sect from other places.
For example, Wu Shaoqi was directly sent by Tuo Gu to the Wanhuang sect.
Another example is Yao Bingyu, who was brought directly back to the Wanhuang Sect six years ago after the leader of the Wanhuang Sect went down the mountain to travel and found him in a mortal country.
According to the personal biography, only a few of them came from the disciples who were recruited into the sect from Baizong City, and most of them were collected by the peak masters and elders who went down the mountain.
It's not that those who come to Bai Zong City to become disciples don't have good talents. There are actually quite a few good talents. However, those who can become direct disciples of the Wanhuang Sect may actually become direct disciples of the Wanhuang Sect if they go to a better sect. Otherwise, it won't be a big problem for them to become inner disciples.
At this time, the benefits of fame are reflected. These people are often more willing to become inner disciples of higher ranking sects, and they also feel that it is better than entering Wanhuang sect as personal disciples.
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 problem.
The lower ranked sects are indeed valued, but the upper limit of the cultivation path is flawed.
To put it simply, the upper limit of big sects is ninth rank, and the upper limit of ordinary sects may be eighth rank, and there are even six or seven ranks.
Since they all choose to enter the world of monks, of course they have to choose a sect with a higher upper limit.
A monk is not a big heart, so don't be a monk.
