Zhong Yin, a disciple of the Summer Valley and a late Dharma adept, was also a personal disciple of an elder of the Summer Valley.
This elder of the Summer Valley was coincidentally an inner elder of the Lightning Sword Sect.
In the Lightning Sword Sect, if one wanted to become an inner elder, one had to be at the mid Primordial Soul stage at the very least. That was the threshold that the inner elders abided by.
As for those who wanted to enter the Lightning Peak and become an elder of the Lightning Sword Sect, the conditions were even stricter. One had to be at least a late Primordial Soul adept and above.
As for becoming an outer elder, one only had to be at the early Primordial Soul stage to qualify.
In other words, in the Lightning Sword Sect, even the most average and mediocre outer elder was also at the very least within one of the Primordial Soul stages.
