The threshold of the Five Elements Sect is exceptionally high.
At the very least, it requires a Rank-2 certification in one of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal, and this certification is not the kind commonly recognized in the Eastern Continent, but a specialized assessment by the Five Elements Sect, equivalent to the Immortal Gate's standards.
However, even such a threshold cannot stop some ambitious loose cultivators.
Currently, the Five Elements Sect recruits loose cultivators for Foundation Establishment sporadically, only posting notices when sect positions are vacant and the need arises.
The number of Foundation Establishment practitioners is like a volcanic eruption, but Core Formation cultivators are still extremely precious.
The Five Elements Sect currently, including heterodox Golden Core cultivators and those who have pledged allegiance from East Wu and East Barbarians, has a total of sixty-eight.
