"Thank you for your guidance, teacher." Li Ji'an understood the purpose was not to discourage, but out of concern that he might become despondent after failure, serving as a precautionary warning.
"Hmm, we have known each other for fifty-four years. Your talent in Alchemy Dao, intelligence, and perseverance in cultivation, I have all witnessed. With your talent, had you entered the Inner Sect to focus on cultivation back then, if you were alive today, you might have hope of a Fake Pill.
However... there's a saying that a setback may turn out to be a blessing. Perhaps it was precisely because of your choice back then, you were able to avoid multiple sect massacres and survive until now.
Therefore, there is no need to regret things past that cannot be changed. Perhaps everything is destined." Master Jade Pill offered another word of comfort.
