I've mentioned before that Xiang Mantang's talent is actually quite decent—it's just that he lacks aptitude in the art of medicine, which is why Mu Shao'ai didn't want to take him as a disciple.
Later, when he saw that Xiang Mantang harbored an extremely potent Exotic Blood, specifically the Vermilion Phoenix Bloodline, Mu Shao'ai then decided to accept Xiang Mantang as a disciple.
Otherwise, relying solely on Mu Jinyu's threats, would Mu Shao'ai carelessly accept Xiang Mantang as a disciple? At most, he would have been okay with giving him the status of a registered disciple.
So after Mu Jinyu later awakened the Azure Dragon Bloodline, he always felt somewhat inferior due to its diluted concentration and envied Xiang Mantang's robust Vermilion Phoenix Blood!
And now, following the cultivation during the burning of an incense stick in the pond,
Mu Jinyu's weakest link, his thin Foreign Race Bloodline, had finally been perfected, and he barely had any flaws left.
