Indeed, without the support of a copious amount of cultivation resources and relying only on the resources provided by the Taoist Institute, becoming a True Disciple would be quite difficult.
The Mental-locking Golden Pill, Refining God Golden Pill, top-grade Transcendence Pill—these cultivation resources were all procured by Xu Jin by winning first place.
But how many people can constantly win first place?
Family support is thus extremely important!
Take, for example, the disciples from Jinshan Taoist Institute: Yue Daqi's talent surpassed that of Lu Xianbing, not to mention Wang Weisheng, who even delayed his Cultivation Level by half a year; but in the end, they were all caught up by Lu Xianbing.
The reason is simple: Lu Xianbing had the support of his family!
However, the family support behind Lu Xianbing, though top-tier within a county, was nothing special outside of Jinshan County.
Thus, he only managed to obtain the status of a Core Disciple.
