Asking about longevity

“This is an invitation from the Lanling State Border, the second-grade Lanshan Sect.

Master Luo said, "Lanshan Sect is a well-known sect in the Lanling Prefecture. There is a golden elixir in the sect. It is only a little while away from the third-level sect. The formation inheritance... is not bad."

Master Luo originally wanted to say, "The formation inheritance is profound," but when he thought of the unknown and enigmatic Mr. Formation behind Mo Hua, he couldn't say the word "profound", so he could only say, "Not bad." ".

"The Lanshan Sect is established based on formations. The formation atmosphere is strong and there are not as many interest entanglements and intrigues as other sects."

Master Luo continued, "I have some connections with them. It just so happened that I was going to join the Lanshan Sect this time, so I took it upon myself to recommend Mr. Xiao Mo to them. Please don't take offense, Mr. Xiao."

Mo Hua quickly waved his hand and said, "Master Luo, you're welcome."

Master Luo handed the invitation to Mo Hua again, "Mr. Mo, you can take a look first."

Mo Hua took the invitation politely.

I don’t know what kind of paper the invitation is made of. It is elegant and delicate. The text on it is written with gold-sprinkled ink.

Mo Hua opened the invitation and took a look at the paperwork.

The invitation was concise and concise, with respectful wording. The general idea was to invite Mo Hua to serve as a teacher in the Lanshan Sect. Once he breaks through the foundation building, he can serve as an elder.

It is an extremely formal sect appointment, not a private agreement.

This is quite solemn.

The ink painting felt heavy in my hand, and I couldn't help but frown.

Master Luo saw Mo Hua's expression and said quickly: "Mr. Xiao Mo, please don't reject it yet."

Mo Hua was stunned, "I haven't said no yet..."

"Don't rush to agree."

Mo Hua was even more confused, "Master Luo..."

Master Luo smiled slightly and said: "Everything is negotiable..."

Master Luo is very at ease in dealing with people, and he knows the right way and the right. He knows the secrets here very accurately.

"If Mr. Xiao Mo wants to agree, I can negotiate terms with them again."

Master Luo and Mo Hua elaborated, "In the sect, teaching is different from teaching, and elders are also different from elders. Although the title is the same, the actual power and status may be very different."

"It wasn't stated clearly in the invitation, but these teachers and elders should be positions in the outer sect. In terms of authority and benefits alone, the outer sect is not as good as the inner sect."

"Some marginal guest elders do not even have a higher status than senior instructors from the inner sect."

Master Luo looked at the ink painting and said softly:

"Mr. Xiao Mo, what you suffer most from is actually your status as a casual cultivator."

"Since you are a casual cultivator, you are an 'outsider'. To the sect, you are not one of our own. Even if the senior officials of Lanshan Sect treat you with great courtesy, some of the disciples and formation masters below will still be dissatisfied..."

"Are all sects in the world xenophobic?" Mo Hua asked.

"It's not the sects in the world, it's all the people in the world who are exclusive..." Master Luo said.

"What should we do in this kind of situation?" Mo Hua asked humbly.

He didn't really want to join the Lanshan Sect, he was just curious and wanted to hear Master Luo's opinion.

Master Luo actually didn't care whether Mo Hua really wanted to join the Yunlan Sect.

Mo Hua was willing to ask him questions, which was in line with his expectations.

Mo Hua asked, and he answered. Even if it was affection, even if it was not a big affection, it could gain a good impression in front of Mo Hua.

Master Luo patiently said:

"The best way is for you not to teach as an outer sect, but to directly join the inner sect, suffer some grievances, and start as an inner sect disciple."

"With Mr. Xiao Mo's talent for formations, no one in the inner sect will be able to teach you soon. When the time comes, it will naturally be your turn to teach others. You belong to the inner sect and can teach others. Naturally, you belong to the inner sect. Taught.”

"When the time comes, each branch of the Lanshan Sect will definitely try to win over you. You can choose one and show some goodwill, or you can choose no one and just learn the formation with peace of mind."

"Formation is the foundation of one's life. As long as your formation is superb, you will have a transcendent status and others will not dare to offend you."

"When you reach the foundation and get involved with the elders of the sect, you will become a powerful person."

"What's more, you are still so young. Even the head of the Lanshan Sect will do everything possible to win over you. Not only the Lanshan Sect, but also the respected monks in the Lanling Prefecture will give you three points of thin noodles..."

Master Luo smacked his lips as he spoke, feeling envious in his heart.

A distinguished formation master...

It's a pity that I don't have the strength, the talent, and the treatment.

"Then what if I don't want to join the inner sect?" Mo Hua asked.

Master Luo was not surprised, but expressed his understanding:

"Joining the inner sect is equivalent to being bound to the Lanshan Sect. There are too many restrictions. If you want to escape or find another job in the future, the Lanshan Sect will definitely not let go. Instead, they will turn against each other..."

Others are eager to worship the inner sect of Lanshan Sect, but Master Luo knows that this does not include ink painting.

He knew the talent of ink painting. Although the Lanshan Sect was a giant in the third-level state, when looking at the cultivation world, it was nothing.

This pool of water in the Lanshan Sect may not be able to sustain ink paintings.

Master Luo continued:

"If you don't want to enter the inner sect of Lanshan Sect, but just want to stay temporarily, or use Lanshan Sect as a springboard to seek a higher position..."

"Then I'll start from teaching as an outsider, and then become a guest elder, but the conditions can be increased and the treatment can be better."

"If you just do this, you don't have to get too close to the inner sect of Lanshan Sect, at least don't take the initiative to get close."

Mo Hua was a little confused, "Shouldn't we have a good relationship?"

Master Luo shook his head, "If you are close, you will be disrespectful, and if you are far, you will be disrespectful. There is no need to deliberately distance yourself, let alone deliberately get close."

"If you distance yourself from the inner sect, you will arouse their hatred. If you get close to the inner sect, you will make them despise you. Even if you don't say it on the surface, they will look down on you in their hearts."

"Just concentrate on learning the formations, try not to cause trouble, and stay aloof, so you won't offend anyone."

"What if there is an internal fight within the Lanshan Sect and I am forced to take sides?" Mo Hua asked Master Luo again.

"It depends on the situation." Master Luo said.

"What's going on?"

Master Luo thought carefully and said:

"It depends on whether you want to stay or not. Who is forcing you? The means are not excessive and will they violate your principles of conduct."

"If it's harmless, you can be tolerant. If the other party goes beyond the rules, you can directly resign as a threat."

"Is this useful?" Mo Hua was startled.

"Others may not be useful," Master Luo added silently, "For example, I..."

"But you must be useful!"

Master Luo looked at the ink painting and continued:

"As I said before, as long as you draw the formation well, you can be successful anywhere. If you go and resign, what you are afraid of is them..."

"First, skilled formation masters are really rare and difficult to recruit; second, if others know that they are fighting openly and secretly, forcing the formation master to resign, then the Lanshan Sect will be disqualified and its reputation will be bad, so they will also Don’t dare to really go too far…”

Mo Hua nodded, and then discovered a problem:

"Master Luo, didn't you say that Lanshan Sect doesn't have so many 'interest conflicts and intrigues'? What you are saying now seems to be teaching me how to 'intrigue'..."

Master Luo was stopped by the question. He kept talking, but he slapped himself in the mouth.

Master Luo smiled awkwardly and could only say:

"There aren't that many, but as long as there are people, intrigues are inevitable."

Mo Hua also smiled, knowing that Master Luo was telling the truth.

He thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but hesitate.

Going to Lanshan Sect looked good, but Mo Hua always felt that this was not the path he had chosen.

Master Luo said again: "Mr. Xiao Mo, if you go to the Lanshan Sect, your father and mother can also go with you. The Lanshan Sect has promised to give them positions within the sect. Although they are not very noble, they are still free. A good job."

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, then became a little moved.

He didn't want his parents to suffer. Being able to join the sect and have a stable job would be considered a blessing.

"What about the other casual cultivators in Tongxian City?"

Master Luo sighed: "Mr. Xiao Mo, let me tell you the truth, you may not like to hear it..."

"The way out for other casual cultivators is not something you and I can consider. If we can take care of ourselves, it's good."

"Furthermore, although you are a casual cultivator, in fact... you are no longer a casual cultivator."

"As long as you are willing, there will be many sects to recruit you, and many families to please you. Your status is actually different from other casual cultivators."

"In the face of a major disaster, casual cultivators have only one way out. The future is uncertain and full of thorns..."

"But Mr. Xiao Mo, you are different. There are actually many ways out for you, and no matter which way out you choose, they are all very good..."

Mo Hua was in a complicated mood. He was silent for a long time without speaking, and his eyes gradually lowered.

Master Luo observed Mo Hua's expression and felt relieved when he saw that Mo Hua was not alive.

These words are suspected of "stoking discord".

And when he said these words, he did have selfish motives.

In his eyes, ink painting is very important, much more important than other casual cultivators, so he sympathizes with what other casual cultivators are going through, but he doesn't take it too seriously.

But how to choose ink painting is very important to him.

He hoped that Mo Hua would have a bright and smooth future and become a famous formation master in the future.

In this case, he can also "hold a thigh" and take a step further in the formation.

As for other things, he is just an ordinary formation master and has no time or ability to care about it.

"Mr. Xiao Mo, you can think about it again. If you are willing to go to Lanshan Sect, I will talk to them and strive for better treatment."

"If you don't want to, that's okay. I'll say something nice and politely refuse them."

Master Luo has thought carefully.

Mo Hua nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you, Master Luo. No matter what, I will remember this favor."

Master Luo said humbly: "It's just a little effort, Mr. Mo is too polite."

But I let out a long sigh of relief.

If Mo Hua went to the Lanshan Sect, he would be a great help if he recommended him; if Mo Hua did not go to the Lanshan Sect, he would still remember his intentions.

No matter what, it was a good sale, and all the hard work was finally in vain.
