Since the task involved Elder Ming and the rewards were substantial, if he could help Elder Ming enhance his strength, would the rewards for Elder Ming's task become even more substantial?
In that case, listening to Elder Ming's teachings would surely allow him to rapidly elevate his own sword intent.
Moreover... Lu Yi had observed that Elder Ming seemed to age more with each passing year, probably only having a decade or so left, at most a few decades.
For a Divinity Transformation cultivator, that is an exceedingly short amount of time.
Unless something unexpected happened, Elder Ming would certainly die of old age.
Lu Yi did not wish for that. Elder Ming had been like a mentor to him, caring for him as an elder would for a younger relative, and naturally, Lu Yi wanted to help Elder Ming make a breakthrough so he could live longer.
Previously, Lu Yi might not have been able to help much, but now that might not be the case.
