"Daoist Zhou, have you really decided not to sign up?"
"Actually, with your cultivation, strength, and background, Daoist Zhou, if you sign up, you have a very high chance of successfully joining Green Lotus Temple."
"If you can enter Green Lotus Temple, your chances of successful Foundation Establishment in the future will increase greatly, not to mention all the other benefits!"
In the rear courtyard of Spirit Beast Hall, Liu Qingshan, who had come here on "leave" to visit his daughter, was discussing Green Lotus Temple's grand opening of its mountain gate to recruit disciples with Zhou Chun.
He had no hope of signing up, because Green Lotus Temple had strict requirements for recruiting disciples.
First was the age restriction. In principle, cultivators over thirty were all rejected unless they possessed Upper-grade Spiritual Root aptitude, in which case an exception could be made.
Next was one's roots and background. Pure Rogue Cultivators who had come up through the wilderness, with too much Turbid Fiendish Energy accumulated in their bodies, were also categorically rejected.
Finally, there was cultivation. Cultivators over fifteen whose cultivation was below the mid Qi Refining Stage were likewise rejected without exception.
As for cultivators under fifteen, they would be comprehensively assessed and screened according to their origins and Spiritual Root aptitude, with the best being admitted.
Liu Qingshan was already over the age limit, so naturally he had no chance to sign up.
