Clearly, Yang Lianlu used some kind of secret technique. Others seemed unaware, but Li Lan couldn't help but speak the truth.

Li Lan sneered, but deliberately feigned a look of absentmindedness on her face, and said, "The year I graduated from university, I went to climb Mount Hua. Inside the main hall of Mount Hua, I met a Taoist priest and obtained a fragment of a scroll..."

Everyone was quite surprised to hear this.

When Li Lan graduated, it was more than a decade ago, when spiritual energy had not yet recovered. How could he have obtained such an opportunity?

"I see,"

Yang Lianlu smiled. After all, Elder Deng was also present. He put away his seductive technique and continued, "Having first obtained the Immortal Dao Chapter and then received more than ten years of medicinal nourishment from the Li family, young friend, you can be considered a person with great fortune. Soaring to the heavens is just around the corner..."

"However, ancient immortal techniques are often difficult to understand. After so long, the medicinal power in your body has not been fully digested, which shows that there may be some parts that you haven't fully grasped. How about we old fellows take a look together?"

Li Lan said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Elder Yang. However, the Taoist priest who taught me the cultivation method once said that this method cannot be shown to others. Please forgive me."

Refused!

"Li Lan!"

Gu Ruoxu, standing to the side, was somewhat displeased and said, "You are now a member of the Dao Restoration Group. According to the group's regulations, all immortal techniques you acquire must be handed over!"

Li Lan said coldly, "Before obtaining this method, Li Lan had not yet joined the Dao Restoration Group, so he should not be bound by it, right?"

"you!"

Gu Ruoxu was speechless, but then said in a deep voice, "Li Lan, the immortal techniques on Earth belong to all the people of China. If you publish the immortal techniques you obtained, it will benefit the entire group! One cannot be too selfish! Moreover, after you hand over the immortal techniques, you will also receive the benefits of an immortal seed from the group. From then on, you can obtain a large amount of spiritual energy and other resources..."

"Thank you, but Li Lan is over forty and has no interest in the empty title of Immortal Seed."

Li Lan is completely unyielding.

He was generous in passing on his teachings to people like Chisongzi, but he was selective about who he taught!

Not everyone is qualified to cultivate.

Gu Ruoxu was about to say something when Elder Deng said in a deep voice, "Since Li Lan is unwilling, why should you fellow Daoists force him? Don't you think such behavior is despicable?"

He waved his hand and said to Li Lan, "Li Lan, you should go back to the training camp first. However, you must not make any moves during this period. You need to focus on digesting the medicinal effects in your body, otherwise you may suffer a qi deviation!"

He earnestly instructed them.

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder."

Li Lan immediately turned and left.

……

"That Li Lan, he doesn't know what's good for him at all!"

In the small conference room, only Gu Ruoxu and Yang Lianlu remained. Gu Ruoxu spoke coldly.

Yang Lianlu smiled and said, "Judging from the feedback from the training camp, the technique he has mastered seems to be able to greatly enhance combat power, and it's also very fast to cultivate. If we can obtain it, Miss Cheng Yusu will be a sure thing at the Mount Tai Tournament..."

Gu Ruoxu shook his head: "But such immortal techniques have been seized by such selfish juniors, what can we do?"

Yang Lianlu thought for a moment and said, "I do have a plan, but I might need Brother Gu's help?"

……

Back to training camp.

"So Li Lan possessed a magical technique?"

"Wow, we should ask him to be our instructor, then we can learn too!"

"Can I choose again now?"

When the news spread, all the young geniuses were filled with regret!

"Yu Su, that scripture is also quite important to you..."

Bai Ruijie spoke in a deep voice.

Cheng Yusu was also somewhat tempted. After all, in her opinion, Su Ling, Zhao Yi, and Xie Kang were far less talented than herself, but they were able to perform so well after obtaining Li Lan's immortal technique. If she could also obtain it, her strength would definitely increase dramatically!

Thinking of this, she walked directly to Li Lan and said, "Li Lan, give me the scripture."

Be confident.

Li Lan asked calmly, "Why?"

"This time, I am fighting for the company, and for China!"

She spoke calmly, "I am the successor of the Great Yu Cauldron. What I must do is lead the human race and create a new era. You should also offer your immortal techniques to me."

Li Lan looked at her and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

...She's only been a few days since she obtained the spirit of the Great Yu Cauldron, and she's already become so arrogant?

"If you truly possess the ability to lead the human race and the ambition to create an era, why would you need such a divine technique?"

Li Lan gave a curt sarcastic remark, then turned and left.

"you!"

Cheng Yusu was instantly enraged. Looking at Li Lan's back, she gritted her teeth and said, "Li Lan, remember what you did today. One day, you will look up to me as an ant gazing at the blue sky!"

……

The training camp is in full swing.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed!

"Cheng Yusu, Bai Ruijie, Gu Lianxi, Zhao Qiurong, Zhao Yi, Su Ling, Xie Kang..."

The final ten were selected!

"Three days from now, we will travel to Mount Tai to attend the Alliance Conference!"

Chen Jinhua announced.

The training camp came to an end, and Li Lan finally left to return to Elder Deng's villa to visit her parents.

The mother prepared a big meal, and the father, Li Guinong, was overjoyed to learn that Li Lan had become a celestial being.

"Brother Li Lan..."

A crisp voice rang out; it was Xia Qingzhu. A blush crept across her face as she said, "Thank you!"

Three months later, her muteness had been completely cured, and her cultivation level had directly reached around the seventh level of Qi Refining!

The progress can be described as rapid.

This was within Li Lan's expectations. After all, the pills he gave Xia Qingzhu were considered treasures even in a sacred cultivation ground like the Ziwei Star Region. Moreover, the immortal technique that Xia Qingzhu cultivated was created by Li Lan based on her physical condition, so naturally she progressed by leaps and bounds.

Thanks to her cultivation, although she was pretty before, she had a kind of delicate fragility that made people feel sorry for her. Now she has become radiant, beautiful and pure!

"Young friend, this old man toasts you!"

Elder Deng's face was filled with complex emotions as he said, "You have given Qingzhu a second life! From now on, even if I die, I can die in peace—"

"Senior, you are serious."

Li Lan remained calm.

"By the way, young friend, you previously revealed that you possess immortal techniques at the training camp. From now on, you must be careful!"

Elder Deng solemnly reminded him again, and he sighed, saying, "The current Daoist Group is not quite the same as it used to be... When an organization is first established, it is often very good, with its original intentions and ideals, but the larger the organization is, the easier it is to collapse."

He was the founder of the Fudao Group and has witnessed the group grow to where it is today. There are many things that make him feel uneasy.

"It's not that Deng had any issues with those old friends, it's just that self-interest can indeed corrupt everything. Even idealists can turn into corrupt individuals. Sometimes I just can't understand why things have turned out this way..."

He sighed deeply.

Li Lan felt this deeply.

In times of hardship and poverty, when we were still building our empire, everyone was a hero, unafraid of death or hard work, and without greed.

But once you've seized power, what can you do when your old comrades who fought alongside you want to be treated like royalty, with luxury cars, mansions, beautiful women by your side, and even your children wanting to enjoy the fruits of your labor for generations to come?

Could he really turn against his brothers and help the poor fight against them again?

Those who can do this are true great men, sages who attempt to change the laws of history with their own bodies.

Such people usually meet a terrible end; they will truly "die without a burial place," and will be smeared with countless accusations and suffer endless misunderstandings.

……

However, Li Lan was unconcerned about Deng Lao's concerns.

In fact, his exposure of his strength was intentional.

If the other party makes no move, it will disappoint him.

"Is there an emergency meeting?"

After dinner, Deng Lao suddenly received a call from Gu Ruoxu. He immediately got up and said, "I'll go there first."

He immediately set off and left.

Not long after he left, Li Lan suddenly raised an eyebrow slightly.

"finally come."
