"Disciple Jia Mengran, meet Master"

"Disciple Yuan Ruoyun, meet Master"

"Disciple Yu Tianxiang, meet Master"

In the mountain gate of the Heavenly Saint Sect, in Lin Xiao's cave mansion, three disciples visited Lin Xiao, and the apprenticeship ceremony had already been held, it was very simple, after a few high-level witnesses, Lin Xiao was busy for a while, and at this time it could be regarded as a new acquaintance.

"Okay, the three of you are my disciples together, then they are ranked by age, Yuan Ruoyun is the second senior brother, Yu Tianxiang is the third senior sister, Jia Mengran is the junior brother, and Li Muxue is your senior sister, do you have any opinions?"

"Obey Master's Orders"

"Okay, we have fate in this life, only then can we have the friendship of master and apprentice, our master-apprentice relationship is different from the one you used to have with the teacher in the academy, and it is also different from Yu Tianxiang following Bai Xixi alchemy, it is life and death, it is a teacher for one day, and a father for life, in the future, we will be both prosperous and loss, you can think about it"

"I wish to follow Master forever"

"Okay, since you have entered my door, then you have to strictly abide by my rules, as my Lin Xiao's disciple, you must have perseverance, hard work, courage, loyalty, and at the same time, you must have both ability and political integrity, cultivation, skills, vision, and mind are more powerful than ordinary people, and at the same time, you must also have noble sentiments, the rules of the sect are only the most basic criteria, in addition, I want you to abide by more than a dozen guidelines for not bullying the weak, killing people and seizing treasures.

Only by doing this, you are my Lin Xiao's qualified disciples, and you are also qualified to enjoy all the conveniences I provide to you."

"The disciple is willing to be a monk with both ability and integrity"

"Very good, there are punishments and punishments, I hope you are the same, remember my words, these are the apprenticeship I sent you, from today, within a year, you follow me, I will guide your cultivation, and I will also teach you how to manage and run the sect, and more importantly, I will change your mind and vision, so that you know how to solve difficulties, how to think"

Lin Xiao nodded, at present, the three disciples are extremely good, but in Lin Xiao's opinion, this is far from enough, the focus is on thinking, Lin Xiao wants to hand over some of the thinking methods of the previous life to them.

Lin Xiao immediately gave them an apprenticeship gift, and at the same time told them that the benefits after apprenticeship, martial arts, and pill magic weapons, they didn't have to worry about it before they were in the Purple Mansion, and Lin Xiao would personally help them in the name of the master.

That night, the three of them moved into Lin Xiao's cave mansion to live, Lin Xiao's cave mansion has been expanded several times, there are thousands of square meters in size, in addition to the living room, study, there are storage rooms, spirit animal rooms, guest rooms, Dan rooms and other places, and even a small piece of spiritual field, which is also the place where the Heavenly Saint Sect has the most abundant Xuan Qi, there is no one.

Starting the next day, the three of them followed Lin Xiao, where Lin Xiao went, they all went, Lin Xiao took them to inspect the sect and deal with the affairs of the sect, not only let them see how Lin Xiao dealt with those things.

Lin Xiao will also tell them why they are doing this, what are the benefits, significance, and impact of doing so, and look at these issues dialectically.

If the decision is wrong, how to remedy it, how to recognize your mistakes, how to summarize, etc., etc., the three of them have a lot to learn, and Lin Xiao's teaching method also opened the eyes of the three of them.

Not to mention the guidance of cultivation, Lin Xiao is already a monk of the third layer of Daogang, what he has seen and experienced over the years is even more difficult for the three of them to look forward to, it is more than enough to guide them, and under Lin Xiao's guidance, the three of them have made great progress.

A year passed quickly, Lin Xiao began to retreat, but Lin Xiao could no longer retreat as he did before, the situation in Chen Guo and Bai Yucheng would change at any time, and he had to remain vigilant enough.

Therefore, Lin Xiao adopted an indirect retreat method, retreating for three years, leaving the customs for one year, and then retreating, if the situation is unstable when the customs is released, then continue to watch.

When she went out of the customs for the second time, Lin Xiao sent Bai Xi Xi to retreat, she had already finished polishing and precipitating, and it took a full eight years, much longer than Lin Xiao and Li Muxue, Lin Xiao not only gave her Dao Ji Dan, but also gave her a fragment of the law of the Heavenly Dao.

It's not that Lin Xiao doesn't want to give it, but he can't afford to give it, these two things cost Lin Xiao 15,000 points, and before that, Lin Xiao had just upgraded the mountain protection array of the mountain gate, upgraded the mountain protection array of the mountain gate to the fourth-order lower grade, and also shortened the maturity time for many precious elixirs in the elixir garden, which cost a lot of points.

Now Lin Xiao's point consumption is getting bigger and bigger, and the points brought by the hundreds of new disciples who have joined over the years have been exhausted, and after supplying those resources to Bai Xi, Lin Xiao's point balance is only more than nine thousand, which is not enough to exchange for another fragment of the Heavenly Dao Law, and it is also lower than the dangerous critical point that Lin Xiao expected, you must know that Lin Xiao is very insecure if he does not have more than 15,000 points on his body now.

Moreover, Bai Zichen also promoted his cultivation to the twelfth layer of the Purple Mansion not long ago, Bai Zichen expects that it will only take five years to cultivate to the twelfth layer extreme, and it will be about ten years of precipitation and polishing, and after fifteen years, he also needs to break through Daogang, Lin Xiao is facing a huge gap in points.

So Lin Xiao is already starting the idea of playing the system branch task, although he doesn't have the strength to collapse, there is still some hope for finding items that have not been entered by the system, he has already notified Bai Zihua to try to collect some strange things back, what if he is lucky?

Bai Xixi's breakthrough requires a huge amount of Xuanqi, so Lin Xiao did not retreat again, but continued to sit in the mountain gate, and by the way, he protected the Dharma for Bai Xixi.

However, within a few months, there was bad news from Tianhaimen, Tang Daoyou, the actual controller of Tianhaimen, sat down, this result made Lin Xiao a little confused, Lin Xiao remembered that Tang Daoyou should still have decades of longevity, and after careful interrogation, he learned that Tianhaimen did not get Dao Ji Dan, and even Xuanhuang Baoyu was bought at a great price, giving Tang Daoyou a breakthrough in the Daogang period, but he failed and died on the spot.

This result is very regrettable, Lin Xiao personally went to Tianhaimen to mourn, Danyang Sect and other factions also sent people to mourn, including Danyang Sect's Perxing and Hongshanmen's Mo Daoyou, they have also been on the twelfth floor of the Purple Mansion for many years, and it has been many years since the polishing and precipitation have been completed, and it is only a matter of one foot in the door from Daogang, but it is this little gap that makes them unable to advance or retreat.

"Old Tang is one hundred and seventy years old, and his body has suffered a lot of injuries in previous wars, and it is difficult for Shouyuan to break through two hundred, so he can only take a risk, but it's a pity"

"Mo Daoyou, mourning, don't think about it"

"Master Lin, I don't have anything to think about, I'm almost, maybe I'll try to rush through the pass in a few years, the more time drags on, the less courage I have, I don't want to sit on the bed, maybe die on the way to the pass, it's also a kind of luck"

Mo Daoyou laughed miserably, his age is about the same as Lao Tang, and he doesn't have a long time to live, if he doesn't rush, he won't have the courage to rush the pass.

"I'm sorry, Mo Daoyou, I broke my promise"

"Master Lin doesn't have to be like this, Dao Ji Dan is hard to find, and if you can't get it, it's not enough for me."

Mo Daoyou shook his head, how can this kind of strategic material be easily traded, even if you don't need it now, you have to keep it, unless it is too much to use casually, so the previous agreement is just a joke, and no one will really take it seriously.

Lin Xiao didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only wait in silence, after Tang Daoyou's death, there was no chaos in Tianhaimen, he had arranged everything before the retreat, and the power smoothly transitioned into the hands of a twelve-layer monk of the Purple Mansion named Zhao Minghai.

Zhao Minghai is the relative of Zhao Lun, the head of Tianhaimen, and his ancestors have been immortal cultivators for several generations, so his qualifications are excellent, coupled with the support of the Zhao family, he is already on the twelfth floor of the Purple Mansion at the age of one hundred and thirty, which is considered the first day of Tianhaimen, and he has more time to break through the Daogang period.

In fact, the Danyang Sect, Tianhaimen and Hongshanmen all have a tendency to be familial, and many factions have been divided internally, and they have not set aside the sect to establish a clan family outside, but there is still a shadow of the family in the door, and the outstanding descendants in the family have better bloodline qualifications, more sufficient resources, and are more diligent under a good education, so they will soon be able to leave those mortal-born disciples behind.

Like within the Danyang Sect, the relatives and descendants of Wang Dao, the Liu family of Liu Yunfeng at the beginning, are all big mountains in the sect, not only there are many clansmen, but also many Purple Mansion monks control real power in the sect.

There are pros and cons to the familialization of the sect, on the one hand, it is possible to quickly improve the strength, it is precisely because of the emergence of these outstanding disciples that the sect can be more prosperous, and the disadvantage is that the family disciples often take the interests of the family as the first, and gradually empty the sect and solidify the class.

So how to control this degree depends on the management level of the leaders of the sect, the Heavenly Saint Sect has also begun to have these signs with the marriage and childbirth of many disciples, but there is still a long way to go from the family, Lin Xiao also firmly believes that as long as he presses it, the contradiction of the family will not break out.

Wang Dao also came to condole, but he didn't show up in public, and after Lin Xiao sensed him, the two talked outside the mountain gate.

"Your Heavenly Saint Sect has now surpassed the Danyang Sect, and before that, you should be the overlord of Tianyun Prefecture."

"Wang Daoyou knows?"

"If you don't know that your apprentice has become a fourth-order alchemist, you will underestimate my Danyang Sect."

"I'm sorry, I broke my promise, but Dokkidan is really too expensive, and it's hard for me to come up with more"

"Master Lin, don't laugh, even if you have it, you won't take it out, this is true, if it were me, I wouldn't, you and I are both people who control a sect, and everything must be in the interests of the sect."

"Thank you Wang Daoyou for your understanding"

"Lin Xiao, I don't have much time with Langdao, I guess there is no chance to break through the aura period in this life, and it will be difficult to condense alone, I hope you can help when the time comes."

"Wang Daoyou, it won't be like this."

"I'm four hundred and two years old this year, the wave knife is still more than ten years older than me, I have only been on the tenth floor, it took thirty years from the ninth to the tenth layer, the bottleneck has appeared, there is no time, the wave knife is about the same"

Wang Dao shook his head, it is extremely difficult for him to improve a little now, I don't know if he can be promoted to the twelfth layer in eighty years, don't think about breaking through, as soon as they die, the strength of the Danyang Sect will be very weak.
