The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect cupped his hands, "Much obliged."
Elder Yu got up and left, leaving only Mo Hua and the Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect in the room, making it all the quieter.
Mo Hua drank his wine calmly.
The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect hesitated for a moment, then got straight to the point:
"Let’s be frank, Brother Mo, would you be interested in joining our Canglang Sect?"
Mo Hua was somewhat surprised, and slowly said, "I am a disciple of Taixu Gate."
"No matter," the Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect said, "Our Canglang Sect is not a place primarily for teaching and passing on the Dao. The Sect manages industries, and the Sect disciples join us to earn Spirit Stones or seek a future."
"Joining or leaving the Sect is quite free, without coercion."
"As long as Brother Mo can serve our Canglang Sect, handle practical matters for the Sect, expand our industries, and earn Spirit Stone profits, we will try our best to fulfill whatever you desire."
"Afterward, if you find it unsatisfactory, you can leave freely, without much constraint..."
Mo Hua nodded slightly, having a rough understanding in his heart.
It seems that the Canglang Sect had caught wind from somewhere, knowing he graduated from the so-called Great Sect of Qianxue, so the Sect Leader came personally to recruit him to work for the Canglang Sect.
After all, around the second-grade Tongxian City, and even near the third-grade state boundary of the Canglang Sect, disciples who have received superior Tao cultivation education and have a profound Dao foundation from "Great Sects" are extremely rare.
To say they are "as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns" would not be an exaggeration.
Mo Hua pondered for a moment and did not reject outright, but said, "I’ll consider it."
The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect looked at Mo Hua, slowed his tone:
"Brother Mo, forgive my presumptuousness, but are you planning to stay in Tongxian City permanently?"
Mo Hua’s expression slightly changed, "What if I am?"
The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect carried a slight, inscrutable smile, gently shook his head, and sighed softly:
"Some words might sound unpleasant, but they are indeed the truth..."
"To have entered a Great Sect, whether due to..." The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect paused, doubting it was possible, but still said:
"Whether due to your ’Spiritual Root,’ or other qualifications, network, talent, or simply luck, it’s an opportunity countless cultivators dream of, and extremely hard to come by..."
"In other words, just by entering a Great Sect, you have already ’leaped the dragon gate,’ defying fate."
"Under these circumstances, continuing to mix with these poor loose cultivators has no future..."
The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect sighed and shook his head:
"Those loose cultivators have too low an understanding of Tao cultivation, their Spiritual Roots, and legacy are too poor; their disposition has flaws, their character unlikely to be high..."
"Staying with them is like being in a quagmire, only getting endlessly trapped in poverty and hardship, delaying your own cultivation."
"Birds of a feather flock together, people are divided by class; you and they are no longer people on the same level."
"You should break away from this quagmire and keep moving upward..."
