The little girl's smile came from the heart, and Zhao Ji was also happy to see it.

He reached out and touched Shen Qingyi's head.

"As long as you like it."

As if he had thought of something, Zhao Ji pulled Shen Qingyi over.

"Xiao Qingyi, that Miss Qi is Elder Qi's direct blood relative. Do you know why she was brought to the academy this time?"

Shen Qingyi shook his head.

"The outer courtyard of the academy is for children's enlightenment, but the inner courtyard is for teaching and practicing. I heard that this time, Lingdao Sect, one of the top five sects in the east, will be recruiting disciples in advance!"

"That direct blood relative of Elder Qi is said to have good talent and has been cultivated by his family. In the past few years, when Zedi Sect and several nearby major sects were recruiting disciples, he didn't join. He just wanted to wait for the five major sects to recruit disciples and try his luck!"

You have to know that the Northern Region they are trapped in is the corner area of ​​the Eastern Region of Yunze Continent.

It is even connected with many mortal cities.

In the eyes of other regions, they are all bumpkins who live in remote corners and are not worthy of being on the stage.

The Zedi Sect is the overlord of this area, but if it is placed in other domains, especially the large domains, it may not even be able to compare with a third-rate sect of others.

Whether in terms of strength, financial resources, or welfare, the sects in this area cannot compare with the disciples of the big sects.

Therefore, whenever the five major Taoist sects in Yunze Continent open their gates to recruit disciples, cultivators from all domains will try their best to squeeze in.

However, the big sects do not recruit disciples like the sects here, which recruit only once every three years.

The shortest period is once every ten years, and there are many restrictions.

Mortals who have not practiced cultivation cannot be older than ten years old.

In addition to talent tests, there are also tests on character and understanding.

For independent cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage, the age cannot exceed 20, and for cultivators below the Golden Core stage, the age cannot exceed 50.

Going up, if you want to join a sect, you have to take other tests.

Even though the five major sects have set up so many checkpoints, there are still countless cultivators who want to get in, even if it is just to serve as a menial disciple.

After all, the resources there are enviable, and several major sects have Taoist masters who have reached the state of out-of-body enlightenment.

Zhao Ji was also very excited about what he said, but he knew that he had no chance of getting in.

Now he is almost twenty years old, but his cultivation is still at the third level of Qi training.

However, he thought that maybe he could give the little girl in front of him a try.

If it doesn't work, I can try another method, but if it works, even if I'm just a menial disciple, maybe I can reach the top in one step.

From now on, this poor little girl can escape her fate and walk the path that countless people dare not walk or even think about!

"You are exactly nine years old now, why not give it a try?"

It has to be said that Shen Qingyi was moved.

She had heard of the name of Lingdao Sect from the original book. It was one of the five major sects, on par with the Holy Sword Sect where the male protagonist was.

However, the original book's main perspective revolves around the heroine and the hero, but it does not mention whether the Lingdao Sect recruited disciples in advance and why they did so.

However, this did not hinder her desire to go to Lingdao Sect.

Just as Zhao Ji said, she is now just under ten years old.

The five major sects are powerful in terms of inheritance, strength and other aspects.

Moreover, when large sects recruit disciples and conduct tests, they do not need to pay spirit stones as fees.

This just solved the problem of her wanting to test her spiritual roots these days.

But if she wanted to go for the test, the long distance was still an unavoidable problem.

As if he could see what Shen Qingyi was thinking, Zhao Ji lowered his body.
