Lin Chuan's words were not meant to comfort Hu Ling. Among all the cultivators he had ever encountered, Hu Ling's natural aptitude was absolute top-tier.
The only reason he cultivated so fast was because he relied on the Heavenly Evolution Spirit Art, the Time Dial, the Bodhi Leaf, and a massive accumulation of resources.
Thus, his innate talent was actually inferior to Hu Ling's. If all these resources had been given to Hu Ling, she probably would have ascended to immortality long ago.
