Every year, countless mortals come to Yuncang Sword Sect to register, but only a few dozen, or even a dozen, can pass the selection process.
Those who are chosen by the elders to become disciples at this time are extremely rare; most of them work hard to gain seniority within the sect.
Once you've outlasted your peers, it'll be your turn to seize opportunities.
Many more promising talents are children that Shen Yun actively picked up during his training, just like when he brought Ji Mo Fan back.

The pills, talismans, and magical artifacts were not particularly valuable, but he had gone to great lengths to obtain them.
But Shen Yun had clearly forgotten all about it, taking it as just a routine way of showing respect to his master.
A true reflection of misplaced sincerity.
