Ai Miao did not report back to the Sect immediately. He simply made a mental note of the young man, planning to observe him for a while longer.
'For instance… maybe observe him for twenty years?'
For a Cultivator past the Core Formation Realm, twenty years was barely the time for a short nap.
For a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, twenty years was a little longer, but it was just the necessary amount of time to truly understand a person.
Ai Miao calculated that if the young man's aptitude was actually ordinary, he might not even have reached the Qi Cultivation Late Stage after twenty years.
If he truly was exceptionally talented, then in twenty years, the young man might be preparing for Foundation Establishment and worrying about how to acquire a Foundation Establishment Pill.
At that time, if he were to guide him into the Sect, he would naturally form a good bond.
