Chapter 610 - 351 Divine Eye_2
This choice is neither right nor wrong; perhaps in Elder Zuo’s view, it is correct, but in the eyes of cultivators, it might be wrong.
After all, it is the cultivator himself who bears the consequences; Elder Zuo has fulfilled his duty, and that is enough.
"Young Benefactor Li has exceptional talent, and I believe you will certainly pass the ’God’s Eye Trial’. Come here, and I will be your protector!" Venerable Huike said with an extremely kind gesture.
Elder Zuo smiled and brought Li Shiming to the spot indicated by Venerable Huike. He did not leave but stood beside Li Shiming.
This attitude was very clear; Elder Zuo intended to protect Li Shiming.
The trial of Divine Skills harbored dangers.
If Li Shiming were an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, even if he perished on the spot, it wouldn’t matter much; however, Li Shiming was an Alchemy Master and also the highest-skilled alchemist of his rank on the Beishu Continent. The loss of such talent would have a tremendous impact on Shushan Sect.
According to incomplete statistics, since Li Shiming became an Alchemy Master, the cultivation progress speed of the Golden Core cultivators in Shushan Sect had more than doubled.
Before Li Shiming became a Golden Core cultivator, only those in the Golden Core Early Stage benefited. After forming his Golden Core, now the Golden Core Middle Stage cultivators benefited as well, and with Li Shiming’s cultivation speed, it wouldn’t be long before the Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators would also benefit.
Elder Zuo was also concerned that Qianye Temple might take this opportunity to harm Li Shiming. Although this was unlikely, he did not want to take the risk.
As long as he was by Li Shiming’s side, even if Li Shiming encountered trouble, he could ensure Li Shiming’s safety.
Venerable Huike seemed not to notice Elder Zuo’s wariness; he maintained a benevolent demeanor as he took out a relic from his spatial item.
