Path of the Dao and the Arts, the more boundless the magical power, the more profound and infinite the classic-grade Cultivation Technique, the more it demands talent, temperament, endowment, and even the compatibility of the five elements and destiny.

For instance, the fundamental essence of the Ghost-slaying and Soul-capturing Technique actually requires the practitioner to roam far and wide, subdue ghosts and demons, accumulate external power to build and nourish Altar Deities, and offer daily tribute for them to respond to commands.
Life is so short, shutting oneself away for meditation and seclusion feels inadequate, yet one must also eat the wind and sleep in the dew, wander north and south, performing such utterly meaningless tasks.
Truly absurd!
"Guan the Second, if you give up struggling and swear allegiance with your blood to recognize me as your master, perhaps you might save your life tonight."
