Jouko Hagi immediately called out: "Song Qianbei, please join our Spiritual Butterfly Island, we have abundant resources, powerful techniques, and I can protect you!"
"Jouko Hagi, don't interrupt, let me finish first." Beihe Sanren said.
Jouko Hagi shrunk back in embarrassment.
"What's the difference between the two?" Song Shuhang asked.
Beihe Sanren: "Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. But in general, the advantage of a sect is much greater than an individual. So, let's talk about joining a sect first. "
"Once you join a sect, you'll have a master to guide you in your cultivation and pass on their experiences, greatly avoiding mistakes during cultivation and saving you a lot of time. Plus, as long as you're talented and diligent enough, you won't lack resources, techniques, or a cultivation cave. Compared to that, this option is more suitable for people who are focused on cultivation. "
"But … once you join a sect, you'll have to follow the sect's rules and work for the sect. After all, nothing can be accomplished without rules. You'll receive so many resources from the sect, so you'll have to work for the sect. Especially a sect like Great Master Tong Xuan's, once you join, you'll have to shave your head and follow all kinds of Buddhist rules. Plus, you'll have to say goodbye to your family in the mortal world and train hard until you finish your apprenticeship. If you're unlucky, you'll never see your parents again. "
Beihe Sanren was almost kidnapped to become a little monk when he was young, so he obviously had a lot of resentment towards Buddhism.
Roaming Cloud Monk Tong Xuan appeared and sent a silly smiling emoji.
Beihe Sanren immediately added: "Wahaha, it's not just Great Master Tong Xuan's sect, other sects more or less need to say goodbye to their family. After all, sects aren't scattered sand, they need their disciples to live in the sect. If you haven't finished your apprenticeship, you'll rarely be able to go out. "
Roaming Cloud Monk Tong Xuan sent a grinning emoji — — so this master's silly smiling emoji before was a threat to Beihe Sanren?
"If you don't pay, how can you get anything in return, that's how it should be." Song Shuhang understood. But he already knew that joining a sect wasn't suitable for him.
At the very least, it was not suitable for him right now. He was not ready to part with his family and leave his hometown to cultivate. He still had love in this world.
"Song Qianbei, our Spiritual Butterfly Island has more freedom in this aspect. As long as you can cultivate to the Third Grade Houtian Combat King realm, you will be able to leave the Spiritual Butterfly Island for a period of time every year. Furthermore, with me around, I can fight for more freedom for Senior. "Jouko Hagi was still trying her best to promote the Spiritual Butterfly Island.
"Thank you," Song Shuhang said sincerely.
However, a Third Grade Houtian Battle King was a long way off.
Jouko Hagi was known as a genius in the group. She had been cultivating since she was young and was now in her twenties. He was only a Third Grade Houtian Battle King.
Song Shuhang didn't think that he was a genius. If he only reached this realm after forty or fifty years, wouldn't he be separated from Mama Song and Papa Song forever?
"Cough cough! Then, I'll tell you about loose cultivators. You should be able to tell that I'm a loose cultivator. " Beihe Sanren smiled and said, "Compared to joining a sect, loose cultivators don't have a teacher to guide their cultivation, they don't have resources, and they don't have a cultivation paradise. They have to rely on themselves for everything. The only advantage is perhaps unfettered freedom, right? "
Loose cultivators had it tough. Beihe Sanren could be considered lucky among loose cultivators. When he was young, he befriended Su Clan's Ah Qi and received a lot of care from him. Then, under Ah Qi's recommendation, he joined the Nine Provinces (1) Group. In this group, he was like a fish in water. His strength had already reached the peak of Fifth Grade Spirit Emperor, and he was just a step away from advancing.
If it was an ordinary loose cultivator, they wouldn't have a teacher, resources, information, or a cultivation paradise. After cultivating to the Second or Third Grade Realm, it would be difficult for them to advance any further. Once their lifespan was up, they would turn into ashes.
"Then, where can I get the cultivation techniques and resources for loose cultivators?" Song Shuhang felt that the future of loose cultivators was bleak.
"Haha, if you didn't join the Nine Provinces (1) Group, I would recommend you to find a sect to join. After all, loose cultivators are really too difficult. It's not like back then, it's really difficult to find spiritual pills and medicinal ingredients in the secular world. But the Nine Provinces (1) Group is a very special group. Here, the group leader Yellow Mountain Zhenjun and a few other powerful seniors will give the members of the group some help. You will be able to get some of the rewards you want from the True Monarch and the others. This is also the method the seniors in the group use to guide the younger generation. Or, when ordinary group members need help, if you are able to help, you will also be able to get some rewards. Just like this time, Jouko Hagi, you got two boxes of medicinal ingredients. Of course, a generous prodigal lady like Jouko Hagi is rare. Don't think that you will be able to get so many medicinal ingredients as rewards every time. "Beihe Sanren joked.
"Senior North River! I'm not a prodigal! "Spiritual Butterfly Island's Jouko Hagi sent an angry emoji.
Song Shuhang imagined the cute look of this lady puffing up her cheeks in anger, it would definitely be very cute.
Beihe Sanren laughed: "So if you choose to be a loose cultivator, then show your face in the group more often. As long as you are diligent enough, no matter if it's techniques, medicinal pills or resources, you will be able to slowly get them. Actually, to be honest, the Nine Provinces (1) Group is already starting to take the shape of a sect. "
When Song Shuhang heard this, his heart was already beating fast. Within a short period of time, being a loose cultivator was indeed the most suitable method for him.
Beihe Sanren: "Then, a sect or a loose cultivator, which one will you choose?"
After Beihe Sanren finished speaking, Copper Trigram's Immortal Master took over the conversation and added: "Shuhang Little Friend, this matter concerns your future path of cultivation, so you don't have to rush to make a decision. Calm down and think about it carefully. Choose carefully, lest you regret it in the future. "
"Thank you senior, I understand. I choose to be a loose cultivator. "Song Shuhang had already thought about it clearly.
"You don't want to think about it a bit more? Once you choose to be a loose cultivator, it will be very difficult to join a sect in the future. "Copper Trigram's Immortal Master reminded again.
Under normal circumstances, sects wouldn't recruit loose cultivators.
After all, drawing on a blank piece of paper was much easier than making changes on a graffitied picture.
Moreover, in terms of loyalty to the sect, loose cultivators couldn't be compared to disciples that were nurtured from small sects, there were too many unstable factors.
So, unless a loose cultivator's talent was too strong, or they had a certain specialty, very few sects would be willing to recruit loose cultivators.
"Yes, I've thought about it clearly." Song Shuhang earnestly replied. This was his own choice, no matter if it was good or bad, he wouldn't regret it.
Copper Trigram's Immortal Master nodded, and didn't say anything more.
After a moment, Beihe Sanren replied: "Shuhang Little Friend, since you've chosen to be a loose cultivator, then what you need the most right now is a body tempering technique and meditation technique for building your foundation. Originally, according to our Nine Provinces (1) Group's custom, if you want something, you have to put in the effort first. If there's a senior or fellow daoist in the group that needs help, and you're able to help, then after completing their request, you'll be able to get some cultivation techniques and resources that you need. "
"However … you're a little special, the Nine Provinces (1) Group has never added an ordinary person. Your strength is too weak, if I don't let you build your foundation first, even if the seniors or fellow daoists in the group need help with something, you might not have the strength to do it. "
After all, situations like Jouko Hagi, where she only needed help to lead the way were too rare. Most of the things that cultivators needed help with were related to cultivation.
Song Shuhang sent an embarrassed smile.
"So, if you don't mind, I can first give you a foundation building fist technique and meditation technique in advance, along with your own 'Body Tempering Liquid', it'll be enough for you to complete the hundred days of foundation building, and officially enter the 1st Stage Mortal Transcendence Realm."
"After you've successfully built your foundation, you'll be able to complete some of the tasks of the fellow daoists and seniors in the group. You'll also have the chance to repay me for the advance — of course, what I can give you in advance is only the most basic cultivation technique. "
Beihe Sanren added, "In addition, if you can get your hands on the 'Qi and Blood Pill', you'll be able to greatly reduce the time needed for the hundred days of foundation building."
The Nine Provinces (1) Group was originally a small group that helped each other, the seniors would often help the juniors. For a set of basic cultivation technique that was very common among cultivators, giving it in advance to the juniors was as easy as lifting a finger.
Anyway, Song Jiang Shuhang had already joined this group, becoming a cultivator was a sure thing.
Moreover, after Beihe Sanren gave him a set of basic cultivation technique in advance, he became half a guide for Song Shuhang. This kindness was enough for Song Shuhang to remember for the rest of his life — as for the other half guide, it was naturally the nouveau riche Jouko Hagi who gifted him two boxes of medicinal ingredients.
Hearing this, Song Shuhang felt a warmth in his heart. Even if it was an advance, even if it was the most basic cultivation technique, to the current him, it was something that he truly needed.
His fingers pressed on the keyboard — next, he only needed to enter a few words, and the door of 'cultivation' would truly open for him!
