For Xia Nichang, this was a very difficult choice.
If she chose to develop systematically, she wouldn't age over the next sixty years, just a bit over six hundred years old, and then she could form her Nascent Soul and surely enter the sect. Even if she wanted to switch to the Eighteen Paths, the sect wouldn't obstruct her—after all, it's a normal age, not an exceptionally talented type.
However, speaking of which, forming her Nascent Soul sixty years early would slightly increase her chances of achieving the Out of Body stage.
Although this "slightly" could possibly be erased by a rigorous battle, it's still a slight increase, putting her ahead at the starting line—as for what happens afterwards, who can say?
Anyway, Xia Nichang couldn't choose at the time. Her financial background was relatively wealthy, at least better than Gu Yue's—usually, girls are better at saving money, setting aside those who are extravagant.
