Chapter 16 Pang Panghai’s Guidance

After a while.

"You're quite interesting." Pang Panghai had already collected the two pieces of ore.

Yu Xiaodie stood aside in fear, seeing that instead of being angry, he was smiling happily. She really couldn't understand what this senior brother was thinking.

Having seen enough sincerity, Pang Panghai said bluntly: "Practice is a lifelong matter, so in the early stages of practice, it is best for monks to determine the direction of practice based on their attributes or talents. Of course, the talent I am talking about is not The cultivation talent you just tested was your compatibility with a certain faction."

"Faction?" Lu Ye grasped the key point keenly and was a little confused. Didn't he want to give advice on choosing a sect? What faction was mentioned?

"Yes, factions!" Pang Panghai nodded, "There used to be many strange factions in the Kyushu cultivation world, but in the end not many factions survived. There are only six main factions, those who specialize in physical cultivation of the physical body, and those who specialize in close combat as soldiers. , the legal cultivator who studies magic, the medical cultivator who hangs pots to help the world, the ghost cultivator who channels the underworld, and the external cultivator who is proficient in alchemy, drawing talismans, setting up formations, making utensils and other external objects. Of course, there are other small factions that have survived. , but it’s not common. If you have the opportunity to meet him in the future, you will naturally know about it.”

"It can be said that these six major factions include 99% of the monks in the Kyushu practice world, and they also determine the direction of the monks' practice. If they choose the right direction, their practice will naturally be more effective in the future. For example, if someone is born with supernatural power and a strong physique, then Naturally, you should choose the path of physical cultivation. For example, if someone is born with extremely outstanding talents in magic, then they naturally choose the path of physical cultivation. There are also people who don't like to fight and kill, so they can refine elixirs and save lives. Everyone makes a choice that suits them, so it is very important to determine the faction, otherwise if you want to wield a sword and join Baihua Valley, no one will be able to teach you."

Pang Dahai introduced it eloquently, and Lu Ye and Yu Xiaodie nodded repeatedly. Even Yu Xiaodie had never heard of this information.

"According to what senior brother said, different sects focus on different factions?" Lu Ye vaguely understood what he meant.

"Did I say that?" Pang Panghai was surprised.

"Senior brother just said that people in Baihua Valley don't teach swordsmanship."

"You are quite smart." Pang Panghai glanced at Lu Ye approvingly, but he did not expect that he could infer something just through his own words, "Generally speaking, there cannot be only one faction in a sect, or at least two. Three, as many as four or five or even more. For example, the ten first-level sects basically have all the factions. Of course, there are exceptions. The Beixuan Sword Sect has only one military cultivator faction, and it is the most extreme military cultivator. That kind of thing." When he mentioned the Beixuan Sword Sect, Pang Panghai couldn't help but twitch the fat on his face, as if he thought of some bad memories.

He paused and continued: "Although a sect is composed of several factions, they always have different emphases. In this case, the lower the level of the sect, the more obvious it is, because they do not have too many factions. Energy and resources allow all factions to move forward together. Take Fenyueshan who is present this time as an example. They mainly focus on alchemy cultivation in Dharma cultivation and external cultivation. The elixir refined from Fenyue Mountain’s elixir cultivation can be used throughout the entire army. The states are all well-known. If people who belong to the five elements of fire want to worship in Fenyue Mountain, they will undoubtedly have a greater advantage, because the spiritual power of the fire element is needed when refining elixirs and weapons."

When he said the last sentence, he glanced at Lu Ye, and the implication was already obvious.

Lu Ye suddenly realized: "Is this what senior brother said before, to determine a faction based on one's own attributes?"

"Exactly." Pang Panghai nodded, "Gold Master is sharp and can take the path of military cultivation, law cultivation, and physical cultivation. Wood Master is vitality, and can take the path of physical cultivation, medical cultivation, law cultivation, alchemy cultivation, and formation cultivation. Water The walking spirit is soft, tolerant of all things, and is not exclusive to all factions. The fire element is violent, and is compatible with other factions except for medical and ghost cultivation. The earth element is thick, and is most suitable for physical cultivation. So what path do you want to take in the future? , not only depends on your interests, but also depends on your attributes. There is a saying among ordinary people that men are afraid of entering the wrong line. This is the same in the world of spiritual practice."

"Everyone has been tested now. Someone will distribute some things to you later. The key is whether you stay or leave. You must choose carefully. Which sect you want to join? It is best to determine which factions that sect focuses on. Do these factions conflict with your profession?"

"I understand." Lu Ye nodded seriously, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, senior brother."

Although Pang Dahai seemed a little greedy for money and took two pieces of ore from him, the words he said were indeed unusual and were enough to offset the value of the two pieces of ore.

Pang Panghai waved his hand: "These are common sense things. You have little contact with the outside world, so you don't know."

"I would also like to ask Senior Brother, my attribute is mainly fire and auxiliary metal, which sect is better to choose this time?"

"Well, you..." Pang Dahai looked him up and down and smiled: "I feel like you have no chance no matter which one you choose."

Lu Ye's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Then why did Senior Brother tell me so much just now?"

Pang Dahai was overjoyed: "I heard that a guy with Yiye's talent has emerged, so I came over to have a look! Do you know that in all these years, I have never seen Yiye... Hahaha!"

He laughed so hard that all the fat on his body was shaking. Lu Ye wanted to rush up and beat him to death!

I don’t know which bastard has spread his talent. It turns out that good deeds never go out and bad deeds spread thousands of miles.

Just when Lu Ye couldn't bear it anymore, Pang Panghai suddenly stopped laughing and lowered his voice and said to Lu Ye: "If I were you, I would keep my expectations to the lowest and don't be half-hearted. In this way... I might be able to get what I want." As you wish!”

After saying that, he turned to look at Yu Xiaodie and said with a smile: "Little girl, is there anything you would like senior brother to give you advice on?"

Yu Xiaodie didn't get what she wanted, so she quickly said: "Senior brother, which sect do you think is better for me to join?"

"Do you like fighting and killing?" Pang Panghai asked.

Yu Xiaodie shook her head like a rattle. No girl likes to fight.

"Then let's go to Baihua Valley." Pang Panghai said, "Most of the people in Baihua Valley are medical practitioners. They don't have to go into battle to kill. Moreover, even if they are captured, they will not be treated too harshly."

"Baihua Valley..." Yu Xiaodie thoughtfully bowed and said, "Thank you, senior brother."

Her Five Elements Main Tree is just right for Baihua Valley, and Pang Panghai obviously knew it before giving such advice.

Pang Panghai left, leaving Lu Ye standing there in a bad mood.

Yu Xiaodie wanted to comfort him, but didn't know what to say, so she simply changed the topic: "Brother, there is something I didn't want to understand."

"What?"

"Just now you gave Senior Brother Pang four pieces of ore and he didn't want it. Why did he want it when you took two pieces?"

Lu Ye explained casually: "In his opinion, those four stones are all his. He doesn't know how to cherish what he has. Only when he loses do he know how precious they are."

Yu Xiaodie fell into deep thought after hearing the words, and felt that these words made sense.

Of course, this is also related to the low value of the two pieces of ore that Lu Ye took away. The real value is the two pieces that were left behind.
