No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 180 Apprentice
Because of a sword fight, the Qinghua Sect changed.

Lan Ran took control of the Qinghua Sect and, together with Lan Dai, carried out drastic reforms on the Qinghua Sect and the Taoist Alliance.

The prerequisite for rectification is to establish rules!

There is no order without rules, and there is no meaning if no one follows them!

Lan Ran and Lan Dai have formulated detailed rules for the Taoist Alliance. This is based on their observations of the pros and cons of the Taoist Alliance over the years, and they try their best to balance the interests of the Qinghua Sect and other sects in the Taoist Alliance!
After that, this set of rules was enforced very forcefully!
At the beginning, not only the other sects in the Taoist Alliance complained, but even the people from the Qinghua Sect complained.

Almost everyone opposed this set of rules, even the founders of the Qinghua Sect were somewhat shaken.

However, Lan Ran and Lan Dai remained unmoved. Instead, they kept explaining these rules to everyone, explaining that these rules were for the Taoist Alliance, not for the Qinghua Sect or any particular sect!

Gradually, some people understood, and more people saw the impartiality of the Taoist Alliance, or Lan Ran!
Anyone who violates the rules of the Taoist Alliance will be punished, even the ancestors and elders of the Qinghua Sect!

After the ancestors and elders were dealt with, the resentment in the hearts of those sects suddenly disappeared!
They saw a possibility under this set of rules.

That is, this set of rules really protects the interests of the Taoist Alliance and everyone, rather than the interests of a small group of people.

The Taoist Alliance gradually gained authority and became a source of support in the hearts of disciples from various sects.

After gaining authority, the second thing is to make and distribute the pie!
Each sect is good at something, some are good at refining weapons, some are good at refining pills, and some are good at raising spiritual beasts. The Taoist Alliance encourages them to do what they are good at and then exchange their skills with each other.

This is a complicated and thankless task, but once it is done, it can attract more sects to join the Taoist Alliance!
After Lan Ran finished dealing with these things, several more years had passed.

The current Taoist Alliance has expanded by more than twice as much as before, and even the Taixuan Sect has joined the Taoist Alliance, making the Taoist Alliance an absolute force in the central part of the immortal cultivation world.

The next step is to wipe out the entire world of immortal cultivation and return it to its original state.

On this day, he suddenly received a message, a message about Zicai.

Some people said that a demon appeared in the north and killed any banished immortals he saw. He killed so many of them that there were no banished immortals left in the north and they all fled to the central region.

Even many generals under the Beiji Tianyu Xuanwu Emperor were killed and their heads fell to the ground!
When Lan Ran saw the news, he remained silent.

He has four disciples. Zishu is still in seclusion and it is unknown whether he can break through the soul. A few years ago, Ziran also came back, and Zisu practiced step by step.

Only this disciple was outside.

How is he now?
Where has he reached?
Lan Ran felt that he should go and take a look at this disciple.

So, he said hello to Lan Dai who was busy, and said, "I have something to go out for, which may take three to five days at the least, or ten days to half a month at the longest."

Lan Dai was dealing with the Dao League's affairs. When he heard Lan Ran say this, he immediately raised his voice and said, "Brother, are you kidding me? Are you still going out?"

"I'm preparing for the swearing-in ceremony. We're going to send troops south soon!"

"All official documents of the entire Dao League must pass through me. I wish there were thirteen hours in a day!"

"Now, you want to be a hands-off boss again?"

"Just say it and get out. Have you ever considered the entire Dao League?"

"I kind of regret looking for you..."

"If I hadn't been so talkative, how could I have gotten myself into this situation?"

Lan Ran looked at him and said, "You are now the leader! You are also the deputy leader of the Taoist Alliance. Why are you acting like a grudge..."

"I'm the head of the sect and the deputy leader!" Lan Dai was furious when he heard this. He slammed the table, breaking it in half, and said, "But you, the leader!"

Yes, Lan Ran is now the leader of the Taoist Alliance!

"I can't handle these things as well as you can." Lan Ran said calmly: "The more capable, the more work!" In terms of swordsmanship, he is much better than Lan Dai. In terms of politics, he is not as good as Lan Dai.

"Damn it! Does the word 'Dai' in my name mean I have to do this kind of work?" Lan Dai was furious and asked, "What important thing can you do?"

"I have an apprentice outside. He has changed a lot. I want to go and see him." Lan Ran shook his head and said, "He has become a famous demon in the north."

"The devil? Is it him?"

Hearing Lan Ran say this, Lan Dai also thought of the legend about the northern demon, and also remembered that Lan Ran asked him for the sword energy gourd.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are banished immortals. It is not easy to be called a devil.

"Yes, that's him!" said Lan Ran.

Lan Dai asked: "How are you going to deal with it?"

Lan Ran sighed and said, "Bring it back!"

It was his plan to bring Xu Shun back.

"You know what kind of person he is, but you still plan to bring him back?" Lan Dai said, "Isn't he a dangerous person?"

Lan Ran said quietly: "But he is my disciple!"

Back then, he personally took Zicai on a journey of thousands of miles. If there was no master-disciple relationship, it would be fake. He was very happy that Zicai had walked his own path, although now Zicai's path was different from his.

Lan Dai immediately said, "You said the Grandmaster was biased, but aren't you the same as him?"

Lan Ran asked back, "If it was your disciple, what would you do?"

"Of course it's about sacrificing personal interests for the greater good! We are doing great things, how can we be stopped by the personal feelings between master and disciple?" Lan Dai slammed the table again and said.

The table changed from two halves to three halves.

"If you have the guts, say it in front of your apprentice!" Lan Ran said.

Agent Lan said confidently: "I am only saying this because my apprentice is not here!"

He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart towards his apprentice. He paid off all the huge debt that Zigeng owed. He only let him drive for Didi because he was afraid that Zigeng would cause trouble again.

As soon as he had the chance, he recommended Zigeng instead.

The same goes for other disciples.

Most monks do not have children, so the apprentices inherit their master's ideas and are more like successors than children.

"You, you..." Lan Ran was so angry that he laughed at Lan Dai's self-righteousness.

He swung his sleeves and said, "I'll be back soon! Try to come back as soon as possible!"

Lan Dai didn't say anything, but just said: "Then the oath-taking ceremony will wait for you?"

"Wait for me to come back!" Lan Ran said, "I haven't forgotten what happened in Baiyu City!"

After the sky cracked, Emperor Weixing of Tianji in the Western Capital brought Baiyucheng from the fairyland to the world of immortal cultivation. He first ambushed the Qinghua Patriarch and his group, and then tried to destroy the Qinghua Sect.

If the founder had not suddenly returned, the Qinghua Sect might have been gone.

The Qinghua sect will keep this account in mind!
Now, it's time to get back at it!
