In order to prevent these ordinary people from harboring any false hopes, there is an unspoken rule in the realm of cultivation: if a person lacks talent, no matter how pitiful their situation, even if they die in front of a cultivator, the cultivator is not to intervene.
Of course, this death must not be due to external interference. If the person chooses to die on their knees, the cultivator should not intervene, but if an ordinary person is harmed in front of a cultivator, then the cultivator may step in.
After all, while cultivators can save the lives of ordinary people, they will never interfere with their choices. For instance, if a great evildoer wants to kill someone, the cultivator will definitely intervene. But if an ordinary person insists on following the evildoer, the cultivator will only offer some advice. If the person remains resolute, then the cultivator will not interfere further.
