No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 177: Daring
In the main hall of Qinghua Palace, Taoist Qinghua and all the masters of the past generations were there, but there were no other people from the Taoist Alliance.

This is a meeting within their Qinghua faction.

Taoist Qinghua looked at everyone who had gathered and sat on the futon, and said, "To make a long story short, two things."

"First of all, three more sects want to join the Dao League. After thinking about it, I decided to reject them."

He said he thought about it, but in fact he really just thought about it on the spur of the moment.

"There are many Dao League members joining recently, and they seem to be banding together to fight against us."

"The Dao Alliance should not become our own enemy!"

"Now, let's stabilize and develop the Dao League first, and then consider the next step of expansion!"

The other ancestors nodded. They felt that what the master said made a lot of sense.

Seeing that most people supported it, Taoist Qinghua said, "The second thing is that a sword cultivator appeared in the north. He gained cultivation by killing people, and he used the sword method of our Qinghua Sect."

"Who of you go take a look?"

He asked someone to go and take a look, but he looked at Lan Ran.

Because he heard that Lan Ran seemed to have a disciple like this.

Lan Ran's heart moved, knowing that it was most likely Zicai. He looked at the other people in the hall, and at this moment, everyone was looking at him.

So he stood up from his cushion and said, "Excuse me, Master, what is your opinion?"

"If he is a disciple of our Qinghua sect, bring him back. We need people right now." Taoist Qinghua said.

Lan Ran asked again: "What if he is not a disciple of our Qinghua Sect, or his philosophy is very different from ours?"

"Concept? He is a disciple of the Qinghua Sect. Could it be that he is a different person from us?" Taoist Qinghua asked in confusion, "Is the Qinghua Sect's concept not good enough?"

Seriously speaking, the Qinghua School’s philosophy is good.

He will not restrict disciples on what they must do, but encourage them to find their own path.

But Zicai's way is completely different from their Qinghua Sect, so Lan Ran said: "He is special, so he can kill people to increase his cultivation."

"He..." Taoist Qinghua was about to say something, but suddenly he thought of the devil in the fairyland and remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, he said, "I understand. Then you don't have to go. Let someone else go."

If someone else takes over, there will be no master-disciple relationship, and there will be no room for it.

Everyone in the hall is smart, so they naturally know the other meaning.

"Chi Chen, you go!" Taoist Qinghua ordered.

"Yes! Master!"

Taoist Qinghua was about to say "dismiss" when he saw Lan Ran still standing there.

He was quite admiring of this great-great-great-great-grandson who was eccentric, unkempt and unconventional.

Taoist Qinghua asked, "What else do you want? Is it for that person?"

Lan Ran looked around and said, "My fellow ancestors, it has been ten years since I returned to Qinghua Sect, right?"

"What do you mean?" Taoist Qinghua didn't understand why Lan Ran said this. He felt that there was something else behind Lan Ran's words.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"You are all Lan Ran's predecessors, masters, and grandmasters." Lan Ran took two steps forward and came to the main hall. He continued, "Lan Ran's achievements today are inseparable from the cultivation of all the predecessors and masters."

Taoist Qinggua knew what his disciple was going to say, so he quickly stopped Lan Ran and said, "Lan Ran, what nonsense are you talking about! Why don't you step back? We are all our ancestors here, not..."

Taoist Qinghua raised his hand to interrupt Taoist Qinghua and said, "Let him speak." He wanted to see what Lan Ran wanted to say.

"I have seen everything that the masters want to do and have done." Lan Ran looked around at all the masters of all generations.

Some of them looked at Lan Ran with a smile, some looked at Lan Ran expressionlessly, and some secretly gave Lan Ran a thumbs up.

They are not fools, but they are overwhelmed by the love for the teacher and the kindness towards him.

Some mistakes are not because they are unaware of them, but because they have to make them.

"The problem with the Dao League is that the founder is unfair." Lan Ran said, "That's why they keep arguing."

"If you do things without rules and regulations, you won't be able to convince others. I heard that the ancestor was the same in the fairy world."

When Taoist Qinghua heard Lan Ran accusing him, he smiled and said, "That's right! That's how I am!"

"As the master of Qinghua Sect, isn't it right for me to protect you, my disciples?"

"That's right!" Lan Ran said, "But our Grandmaster is also the leader of the Dao League. The Dao League also dominates the world. It's not okay for our Grandmaster to do this."

"The world?" Taoist Qinghua said, "How difficult is it to fight for the world? People's hearts are hard to predict!"

He formed the Dao League with the original intention of killing other exiled immortals and unifying the world of immortal cultivation! However, after ten years of development, the Dao League only had a sect with a radius of 70,000 to 80,000 miles.

It was much slower than he had imagined, and he also felt that the sects that joined the Taoist Alliance later were holding him back.

"So, I think the master was wrong!" Lan Ran said frankly, "The loose structure of the Dao League cannot accomplish the task of unifying the world of immortal cultivation."

"Either we incorporate them into the Qinghua Sect and treat them equally. Otherwise, we can directly merge them, absorb their strengths, and strengthen ourselves!"

When Taoist Qinghua heard Lan Ran say this, he was delighted and asked, "You said I was wrong?"

"Incorporated into the Qinghua Sect? What identities and qualifications do they have to be in the Qinghua Sect?"

In his opinion, the Qinghua Sect only has outstanding disciples, or disciples with destiny and interest, and ordinary people cannot join.

"As for annexation... I can only say that you are too extreme!" He added: "There are not many sects left in the world of immortal cultivation. If you do this, won't you make me no different from them?"

If they merge sects, then what is the difference between their Qinghua sect and those banished immortals.

Lan Ran sighed. He realized that Taoist Qinghua was still quite naive.

People who are more naive are suitable to be friends rather than leaders.

"Master, you can't be too cautious when doing great things!" Lan Ran said, "So, I really think you did something wrong."

When Taoist Qinghua heard Lan Ran say this, he asked back, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

He was a little unhappy!

If he didn't like Lan Ran, he wouldn't have argued with Lan Ran so much.

For a junior disciple, it was very generous of him to let him say so much.

Lan Ran sighed inwardly again. When younger generations talk to elders, or when subordinates talk to superiors, they will naturally be at a disadvantage.

Few elders will listen to the advice of their juniors because they think of them as children.

What can a child understand?
I eat more salt than he eats rice!
Things have come to this, and after all the talk and persuasion, this is all we can do.

"Master, Lan Ran dares to use sword to judge right and wrong. Please grant me your blessing!" Lan Ran suddenly said.

"Do you want to duel swords with me?" Taoist Qinghua suddenly found Lan Ran very interesting.

My own disciple wants to challenge me in a sword fight?
Of course he wouldn't refuse!
