章 749: Chapter 699: The Problem of the Taoist Academy

"Men ascend, water descends."

This is an immutable phenomenon, just as a starving man cannot be asked to give up the food in his hands for the so-called dream, the future.

Many disciples of the Taoist Academy acknowledge that it was the academy that gave them the opportunity to practice, allowing them to embark on the path of cultivation and reach their current realm. Such kindness cannot be erased.

Yet, when the current resources or skills of the Taoist Academy can no longer assist their cultivation, or even become an obstacle, how many people can choose to give up better opportunities and willingly remain content with the current situation?

Those who remain indeed possess noble characters and principles, but they certainly cannot criticize the character of those who have left.
