The time and place of apprenticeship for different sects are different, and the requirements for apprenticeship are quite strict. Only the spiritual root qualifications and cultivation level are considered, and there is a fixed amount of apprenticeship every year. For many scattered cultivators, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to become qualified.

Generally, major sects will jointly hold a major selection competition every ten years, commonly known as the "Ten Thousand Clan Grand Examination".

The age requirement should be appropriately extended to eight to eighteen years old.

At that time, a group of heroes will gather, and millions of people from Kyushu will participate in the competition. Many rare and spectacular events will not be uncommon on that day.

And the disciples who can be selected and compared in the sect are usually dragons among men, with a great chance of being accepted as disciples by the Yuan Ying elders of various sects, and some can even be accepted as disciples by rare deified cultivators in a hundred years.

Of course, there has only been one lucky person who transformed into a god and received disciples 100000 years ago so far.

However, later on, the cultivator who was fortunate enough to be accepted as a disciple by Da Neng disappeared without a trace and was never heard from again.

There are many people who want to make a name for themselves through the Wanzong Exam, and some even want to participate in the exam after the annual enrollment age, in order to strive for a better future.

But this does not mean that the requirements for the Wan Zong examination are high. On the contrary, the selection level of the Wan Zong examination is extremely uneven. Those with high abilities can reach the middle stage of foundation building, but those with low abilities can only cultivate five levels of Qi.

Many cultivators are not qualified to accept disciples on a regular basis, and they hope to perform well and be recognized by the sect through the Wanzong Great Examination. They will be directly accepted as disciples, whether they are nominal or entry-level disciples, which is an opportunity.

This kind of thing is not uncommon every time there is a mass test.

It is said that there was a low-quality Five Spirit Root cultivator in the last Wanzong Great Examination, but he performed extremely well and was directly accepted as a disciple by a Yuanying Great Power.

This is like taking a step to the sky!

There are not only eight major sects participating in the Wanzong Grand Examination, but also second tier sects that are not usually visible and not easily exposed. For these disciples with poor qualifications, this can be considered an opportunity.

Even if one cannot enter the eight major sects, they may still be accepted by some second rate sects. Although they cannot compare to the eight major sects, the concepts of entering a sect and not entering a sect are completely different.

Some people are even more willing to be inner disciples of a second rate sect rather than outer disciples of a first-class sect.

After all, the competition for resources among sects is extremely fierce. Inner disciples and outer disciples are like heaven and earth. Being an inner disciple in a second rate sect can always provide the same teaching and resources as an outer disciple in a first-class sect.

As long as there are sufficient resources and guidance from the master, the results obtained from practicing in a second tier sect will not be inferior to those of a first-class sect.

At the age of seven, Shilou was accepted as the chief disciple by a chance encounter with the North Frost Immortal, which was an extremely rare situation.

Most cultivators who can be directly admitted into the sect in this way have extraordinary talents, and their future prospects are not inferior to those who excel in the grand examination.

After all, in the mortal world, one's own disciples have enough time to observe and understand their character and other traits. A good relationship with them is a true love for them.

But in the grand examination of the Ten Thousand Masters, strength is often outstanding, and it is difficult to determine one's character. Even the great power of the Primordial Infant is not divine, and one can see at a glance what a person's character is.

At that time, the eldest brother of the Shi family, Shi Jun, was ten years old, which happened to be the lowest age for the sect to recruit disciples. The ancestor of the Shi family learned through his friends that Wan Jianzong was recruiting disciples in Jingzhou.

Coincidentally, he met his master Guanghao Zhenren personally leading the team. Guanghao Zhenren, who had no intention of apprenticing, immediately took a liking to Shi Jun.

In this way, Shi Jun directly became a legitimate swordsmith under the Wanjian Sect.
