Chapter 342 Way Out

"This is an invitation from the second-grade Lanshan Sect in Lanling Province."

Master Luo said, "Lanshan Sect is a famous sect in Lanling Province. There is a Jindan in the sect. It is only a little time away from becoming a third-grade sect. The array inheritance... is not bad."

Master Luo originally wanted to say, "The array inheritance is profound," but thinking of the unknown and unfathomable array master behind Mo Hua, the word "profound" is a bit hard to say, so he could only say "not bad."

"Lanshan Sect is established by array, and the array atmosphere is strong. There are not as many conflicts of interest and intrigues as other sects."

Master Luo continued, "I have some connections with them. It just so happens that I also want to join Lanshan Sect this time, so I took the initiative to recommend Mr. Xiao Mo to them. Please don't be offended, Mr. Xiao Mo."

Mo Hua waved his hand and said, "Master Luo is polite."

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

Mo Hua politely took the invitation.

I don't know what kind of paper the invitation is made of, it's elegant and exquisite, and the words on it are written in gold-sprinkled ink.

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

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

It is an extremely formal sect letter of appointment, not a privately agreed document.

This is quite solemn.

Mo Hua felt heavy in his hand, and couldn't help frowning.

Master Luo saw Mo Hua's expression and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xiao Mo, don't rush to refuse."

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 can be discussed..."

Master Luo is very good at dealing with people and getting along with everyone. He has a very accurate grasp of the tricks here.

"If Mr. Xiao Mo wants to agree, I can go and negotiate with them."

Master Luo and Mo Hua talked in detail, "In the sect, the instructors are different, and the elders are different. Although the titles are the same, the actual power and status may be very different."

"It's not clearly stated in the invitation, but these instructors and elders should be positions in the outer sect. In terms of power and treatment, the outer sect is not as good as the inner sect."

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

Master Luo looked at Mo Hua and said softly:

"Mr. Xiao Mo, the biggest disadvantage for you is actually your identity 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 high-level officials of Lanshan Sect treat you with courtesy, some of the disciples and formation masters below will still not accept it..."

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

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

"So what should we do in this situation?" Mo Hua asked humbly.

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

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

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

Mo Hua asked, and he answered, which was considered a favor. Even if it was not a big favor, it could win Mo Hua's favor.

Master Luo said patiently:

"The best way is for you not to be an outer sect instructor, but to join the inner sect directly, 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. At that time, it will naturally be your turn to teach others. You belong to the inner sect and can teach others, so naturally, you will be an inner sect instructor."

"By that time, the various branches of Lanshan Sect will definitely find ways to win you over. You can choose one and show some goodwill, or choose no one and study formations with peace of mind. "The formation is the foundation of 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 building stage and become an elder of the sect, you will also be a powerful person." "Besides, you are still so young. Even the head of Lanshan Sect will try every means to win you over. Not only Lanshan Sect, but also the well-known cultivators in Lanlingzhou will give you some face..." Master Luo smacked his lips as he spoke. He was envious. A prominent formation master... It's a pity that he doesn't have the strength, talent, or treatment. "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 tied to Lanshan Sect, which has too many restrictions. If you want to get out in the future, or seek a better job, Lanshan Sect will definitely not let you go, but will become enemies..."

Others are eager to join the inner sect of Lanshan Sect, but Master Luo knows that this does not include Mo Hua.

He knows Mo Hua's talent. Although Lanshan Sect is also a giant in the third-grade state, it is nothing in the cultivation world.

The pool of water in Lanshan Sect may not be able to support Mo Hua.

Master Luo continued:

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

"Then you should start as an outer sect teacher, and then become a guest elder, but the conditions can be more and the treatment can be better."

"If you just do this, you don't have to be 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 get close to them, you will be disrespectful, and if you stay away from them, you 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, and 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 aloof, 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 considered:

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

"If it is harmless, you can be tolerant. If the other party is overstepping the line, you can resign directly 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:

"As I said, as long as you draw a good formation, you can get by anywhere. If you resign, they are afraid..."

"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 have a bad reputation, 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 and ended up hitting his mouth.

Master Luo smiled awkwardly and could only say:

"There are not so many, but as long as there are people, intrigue is 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 a little 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, "It's just a small favor. You're too polite, Mr. Xiao Mo."

But he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

If Mo Hua goes to Lanshan Sect, he will be a big help by introducing her; if Mo Hua doesn't go to Lanshan Sect, she will remember his kindness.

In any case, it's a good deal, and his efforts have not been in vain.
