"If you do that, won't you be squandering your own resources?"
Butterfly Transformation True Person continued, "For a cultivator, every resource is as precious as life itself."
"If you hand over your resources without asking for anything in return, you'll only give your opponents more openings to exploit."
"I hope this is just a passing fancy, and that you won't insist on doing it. Otherwise, you may be sowing the seeds of disaster."

With that, he stood and bowed respectfully. "Master, I will succeed.
