Due to his experience with Qin Nanxin, Li Fan also realized that his desire to win over the old-school Xuanmen cultivators from the Emei Qin Family was merely wishful thinking.
Did Emei really need him to win them over? They had already won in the past! They were unrivaled in the world! They had subdued the whole world! Yet now, isn't everyone, without exception, hunkered down in mountain ravines seeking the Dao?
This group of people, when faced with "demonic creatures," would probably be willing to lend a hand, but to really devote themselves to this as a career? Better skip it, lest their elixirs stewing in the cauldron spoil from neglect!
So, don't even mention how the old methods are this or that or how the new methods are thus and so, or how seeking the Dao to ascend to immortality is something or other.
The pursuit of the Dao is endless.
