"You will first become an Inner Sect Disciple after your initiation, and cultivate diligently before competing for the position of a True Disciple!" Elder Su helped Li Shiming up and said.
Only then did Li Shiming clearly understand that Elder Su had accepted him as a disciple, not a Registered Disciple, which granted him the eligibility to compete for the status of a True Disciple.
Although there is only a slight difference in name between a disciple and a Registered Disciple, their status is completely different.
Being a Registered Disciple is merely an honor, and under the strict master-apprentice relationship in the Cultivation World, Registered Disciples cannot enjoy the meticulous instruction of a master, and they rarely even have the opportunity to see their master.
A disciple, on the other hand, will receive their master's meticulous guidance and the best support in various aspects, such as resources, magic artifacts, and cultivation techniques.
