Bumping into Liang Yongqi along the way was a really good thing; at least they didn't see him die along the way.
But if they had met him a little later, he would have thought that Liang Yongqi might have died from starvation on the side of the road.
Liang Yongqi was just too weak and the initial faith that he had was still very fragile. He had pretty much no hope of getting strong by cultivating on his own. If he raised his faith to the peak, then maybe he could become an expert as outstanding as Gou'zi.
But that path was also a tough one to take.
Faith didn't depend on talent and comprehension but on whether or not the person knew how to suck up.
For example, Gou'zi and his cousin were both extremely loyal to him. Since he obtained the Darkness God Domain and activated this faith pathway, they were connected to him through faith and obtained extraordinary amounts of help.
