Xiu Ju frowned under the streetlight and said, "I admit what you're saying is true, but so what?"
Shen Qiang smiled as he looked at Xiu Ju and said, "Hear me out. In fact, even if one has the aptitude for cultivation, most people still can't cultivate because they either don't meet a good mentor, miss out on opportunities, or come across opportunities when they have already passed the best age for cultivation, among other issues."
"Even if one is lucky enough to meet a great mentor at the right time and starts cultivating, about half of all cultivators will remain below the Foundation Establishment Stage for life, and seventy-five percent will be stuck below the Nascent Soul Stage," he continued.
Looking earnestly at Xiu Ju, Shen Qiang said, "That means if the Shen family wants to become stronger in the future and take decades to cultivate a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, we would need more than ten thousand newborns to have a chance of finding one with decent roots."
