Gu An's words, both spoken and unspoken, were meant to make it clear to Yang Chan and the other Pharmacists and Direct Disciples that entering the Merak Sacred Land wasn't an instant ticket to success. It wouldn't be like a carp leaping over the Dragon Sect; they could very well end up lost in the crowd.
The treatment they enjoyed in the Cyan Yuan Sect would be hard to come by in the Merak Sacred Land.
Their status as Pharmacists in the Cyan Yuan Sect wouldn't count for much in the Merak Sacred Land, and the same was true for Direct Disciples.
However, Yang Chan and the others also knew that if they could make a name for themselves in the Merak Sacred Land, the benefits would be far beyond anything the Cyan Yuan Sect could offer.
The Merak Sacred Land's potential was much higher than the Cyan Yuan Sect's. Otherwise, why would the Sect Leader and the others have agreed to join it? It was all for that higher ceiling.
