Hou Niao had not overlooked this point, he was just treating the idea as a last resort.
It wasn't because he didn't value the blind elder's suggestion, but the blind elder had never pointed out a specific path for his cultivation.

The advice from Bai Niangzi came at a timely moment because he was currently trapped in a dilemma, encountering trouble in the re-forging of his flying sword.
The choice to destroy the flying sword was both a reluctant and deliberate one.
