This frail young man was named Wang Ning, and just as these people around him were saying, he had been weak and sickly since childhood. Even though his father held some influence in Yiye Tian and could obtain some resources, Wang Ning's condition hardly improved, and he was unable to practice martial arts.
His father had no choice but to send Wang Ning to the Dan Hall to see if he could become a Pill Master. After all, crafting ordinary elixirs required no exceptional cultivation, and once one became a Pill Master of Yiye Tian, the treatment was quite good.
Therefore, in Yiye Tian, the Dan Hall became a gathering place for many who could not cultivate.
Generally speaking, offspring who were sent to the Dan Hall, if they achieved nothing in alchemy, would choose some other work, such as the procurement of medicinal materials, simple administrative work, or warehouse management. They could muddle through life with such jobs, and the treatment wouldn't be too bad either.
