Why Is It That Cultivating an Immortal Is All About Human Nature?

Hey, fellow Taoist, you have to speak according to your conscience! How can I, a little Taoist priest, dare to let the princes in the court owe me favors? Besides, how can I, with my useless spiritual roots, be worthy of having a relationship with the heads and elders of those large sects? Not to mention discussing friendship with the emperor or negotiating terms with aristocratic families. Okay, okay, even if I know a little bit about these things, please, can you please stop asking me to open the back door? The path just wants to be clean and cultivated, and I don't want to taint the worldliness of you people!
