In the main hall of the Alchemy Hall.
Several Alchemy Masters were present, including Su Qing.
A few miscellaneous task disciples, who were also learning alchemy, were there as well.
"Therefore, within the Alchemy Hall, we must all get along peacefully."
"Fellow Daoist Zhao and Lord Li died because they were cursed."
"Immortal Cultivators must value harmony to go far on their path."
...
Su Qing felt resigned. He hadn't expected to be summoned by Tao Mingze just to be force-fed a bunch of platitudes.
He droned on about things like being kind to others, and when it came to exorcising demons, the need to eliminate them root and stem.
In any case, it all boiled down to two key ideas: 'be cautious' and 'be steady.'
Only by lying low could you secure a future; only by being steady could you go the distance.
It was just like a manager giving a speech. He'd talk for at least half an hour, always using examples to make his point.
