Chapter 342 Way Out

“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 inheritance of the formation 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 was 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 was made of. It was elegant and delicate. The words on it were 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 tutor 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 be in a hurry 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 was not 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 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 injustice, 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. If you belong to the inner sect and can teach others, you will naturally become a member of 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 a person'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 you over. Not only the Lanshan Sect, but also the respected monks in the Lanling Prefecture will give you three points of thin face..."

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, which has too many restrictions. If you want to escape in the future, or find another job, the Lanshan Sect will definitely not let go, but will turn against you..."

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, it was nothing in the world of cultivation.

The Lanshan Sect's pool of water 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 as an external teacher, and then become a guest elder, but the conditions can be increased and the treatment can be better."

"If you 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 build a good relationship?"

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

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

"Or just concentrate on learning the formation, try not to cause trouble, and stay out of the world, so that you won't offend anyone."

"What if there is an internal fight in Lanshan Sect and they force me to take sides?" Mo Hua asked Master Luo again.

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

"What situation?"

Master Luo said carefully:

"It depends on whether you want to stay, who is forcing you, whether the means are excessive, and whether it will affect your principles of doing things."

"If it is harmless, you can be tolerant appropriately. If the other party acts beyond the rules, you can directly resign and threaten them."

"Will this work?" Mo Hua was stunned.

"It may not be useful to others," Master Luo added silently in his heart, "For example, I..."

"But you will definitely be useful!"

Master Luo looked at Mo Hua and continued:

"It's the same old saying. As long as you draw a good formation, you can get by anywhere. If you resign, they are afraid of them..."

"First, good formation masters are really rare and difficult to recruit; second, if others know that they are fighting openly and secretly and forcing the formation master to resign, then Lanshan Sect will lose its qualifications and its reputation will be bad, so they dare not really do too much..."

Mo Hua nodded, and then found a problem:

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

Master Luo was asked. He talked a lot here, but he hit his mouth instead.

Master Luo smiled awkwardly and could only say:

"It's just that there are not so many, but as long as there are people, intrigues are inevitable."

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

He pondered for a moment and hesitated.

Going to Lanshan Sect seemed good, but Mo Hua always felt that this was not the path he should choose.

Master Luo said again: "Mr. Xiao Mo, if you go to Lanshan Sect, your father and mother can also go with you. Lanshan Sect promised to give them positions in the sect. Although they are not very prestigious, they are also good and leisurely jobs."

Mo Hua was stunned, and then he was moved.

He didn't want his parents to suffer. He could enter the sect and have a stable job, which could be regarded as a good life.

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

Master Luo sighed: "Mr. Xiao Mo, I'm telling you the truth, you may not like it..."

"The way out for other independent cultivators is not something you and I can consider. We are lucky to be able to take care of ourselves."

"Also, although you are an independent cultivator, in fact... you are no longer an independent cultivator."

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

"When a disaster strikes, independent cultivators have only one way out, and the future is uncertain and full of thorns..."

"But Mr. Xiao Mo, you are different. You actually have many ways out, and no matter which way out, it is very good..."

Mo Hua was in a complicated mood. He was silent for a long time, and his eyes gradually drooped.

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

These words are suspected of "sowing discord".

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

In his eyes, Mo Hua was very important, much more important than other casual cultivators, so he sympathized with other casual cultivators' experiences, but he didn't care too much.

But what Mo Hua chose was very important to him.

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

In this way, he could also "hold a thigh" and make further progress in formation.

As for other things, he was just an ordinary formation master, and he had no time or ability to take care of them.

"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, it doesn't matter. I will say some good words and politely refuse them."

Master Luo considered it very carefully.

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

Master Luo said modestly on the surface: "It's just a little help, Mr. Xiao Mo is polite."

But he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

If Mo Hua goes to Lanshan Sect, I can recommend him, which is a great help; if Mo Hua doesn't go to Lanshan Sect, he will remember his kindness.

In any case, it's a good deal, and this effort is not in vain.
