So for cultivators, they finally earn the gold and silver needed to buy elixirs that enhance spirit roots, but would they choose to buy them? Certainly not, unless they are so rich they have nowhere else to spend their money. Everyone knows talent is important, yet no one would make such an outrageous investment.
Ideals are good, with all kinds of talents maxed out, but reality is rather cruel.
Therefore, Yuchi seeks disciples with somewhat decent talent, so that the risk of investment can be reduced later. After all, raising a disciple is already very difficult. If he has to prepare spirit root-enhancing elixirs for the disciple, then what's the point of playing around at the Ascension Gate?
With such an extravagant investment, it takes a very long time to see a little return. This kind of profitless business is something no one is willing to do.
