Guided by his skewed philosophy, Liu Ying's father cut corners on the cultivation resources he provided. Worse still, he insisted on personally overseeing his children's training, refusing to entrust the task to others. This decision proved disastrous.
As a cultivator who had climbed the ranks by consuming alchemical pills and natural treasures rather than through genuine comprehension, his insights were shallow, even compared to an average core formation expert. His only redeeming quality lay in his skill in alchemy. Yet, paradoxically, he forbade his children from learning it, convinced it would distract them from advancing their cultivation.
Given these limitations, it was little surprise that none of his children ever met the impossibly high standards he set. When they failed, they were discarded along with their mothers—after being berated and forced to repay every resource spent on them.
