Tianjihong was very grateful to hear his master plan his subsequent training in such detail. To this day, I have only known Li Ming for less than three days. Although the two have a nominal master-disciple relationship, it is more because there is a tacit understanding between them. Tian Jihong recognized that Li Ming was a good master who was dedicated and capable, and the latter also took a fancy to Tian Jihong's talent and character, and was willing to teach him everything he had.
"I understand. Thank you Master for reminding me. However, because of my parents, my disciple is unwilling to expose his true identity, so he has been having a headache about which force to join. Master, do you have any good ideas?" Tian Jihong only vaguely mentioned his unwillingness to join other sects in one sentence. So far, he has not fully revealed his identity to Li Ming, nor has he mentioned anything about his enemy Shigu Sect.
Of course, as an old martial artist who has been in the martial arts world for so long, Li Ming would not know anything about the other party's origins before accepting a disciple. After some inquiries in the village, he actually guessed the two brothers' life experiences quite closely, but they were so in tune with each other that they didn't pursue each other's details. So at this time Li Ming just nodded slightly and replied: "Well, the parents of your two brothers are indeed not ordinary people. Putting your identity outside will indeed cause a lot of trouble. It's no wonder that with your talent I have never joined another sect to learn the practice before. In this case, I might as well recommend a place for you."
"Looking at you, you don't look like someone who has a lot of time to spare. If Master recommended you to become a martial artist like me, I'm afraid you wouldn't be happy with it. The job of a martial artist sounds relaxing and the income is not high. If we look for a young talent like you, it will be overqualified. Therefore, my teacher’s suggestion is that you might as well find a union in the martial arts world to join.”
"In addition to the major sects in the martial arts world, there are also some institutions or organizations with relatively less strict controls, which can be chosen by idle monks who do not have a strong sense of belonging. The trade union mentioned by the teacher is the most typical example. In the world, such as the alien union, the casual cultivator union, the mercenary union, etc., although most of them are spontaneously formed by casual cultivators who are not affiliated with other forces, the restrictions on the participants are relatively loose."
"As you may know, for example, the Mercenary Union, more than 70% of its participants actually have other sect titles, but it also allows these people to name themselves in the Mercenary Union, not to mention increasing their popularity. At the same time, I can also maintain a cooperative relationship with these sects. In fact, as a teacher, I am also a member of the mercenary union's nominal gold mercenary. I only interact with people in the union when I have occasional training needs. "This can be regarded as another time when Li Ming took the initiative to reveal his identity to Tianjihong, which made the latter couldn't help but recall the day when he saw many people wearing badges of different colors on their chests at the entrance of the mercenary union in Dongsheng Town. .
Li Ming paused and continued: "Of course these unions will interrogate you about your origins and life experience when joining, but generally speaking, as long as you are not involved with the wanted criminals under their sect, you will most likely be able to successfully join them later. I guess this is more suitable for your situation. Of course, I am not recommending that you join the same organization as me. In fact, in the past few years since I joined the mercenary union, I am well aware of the many inconveniences in the mercenary union. The most obvious thing is the slow level improvement."
"Because the mercenary union does not have a clear manager like ordinary sects, it supervises the daily operations of the union based on the rotation of representatives of its different regional branches. Therefore, the union's assessment of member promotions is extremely strict on weekdays, with qualifications and Both aspects of strength have high requirements. Weishi has been in the union for more than ten years, and now he has only reached the gold level. In addition to being able to obtain some sources of rare materials relatively easily, his actual The financial reward is really pitiful, and it’s not as good as a fraction of my monthly salary as a martial arts master!”
"Later I learned that if you want to advance faster in the mercenary union, you need to complete tasks in the form of a small team. In this way, when there are more people, you can take on more difficult tasks, and the rewards for each person's contribution are also higher. It's just that like you and me, we prefer to be alone For those who are on the move, the mercenary union is not the best choice. It is only suitable for taking on some simple tasks to increase income when passing by on weekdays, but is not suitable for devoting oneself to it for life."
"What I really want to recommend to you as a teacher is the [Rogue Cultivator Union], a giant in the Seibu world. Although this union is only an emerging force in the martial arts world, it has not yet developed into the world outside Zhonghai. But his prestige in the Xiwu Continent is already well known among the monks, and the power of his sect is comparable to those of established sects or martial arts families."
"The purpose of the Casual Cultivator Guild is to recruit casual cultivators like you who have not yet joined the sect to join the practice. Especially in remote areas, many monks outside the sphere of influence of other sects, a large part of them are willing to join this guild to do this. Effectiveness. The training resources provided by its subordinates are no less than those of the mercenary union or other sects. As an emerging organization with strong financial resources, as long as its union members can complete the union tasks with all their heart, they can receive large sums of funds and resources. Reward, which even makes many disciples of sects or families jealous.”
Tianjihong didn't take Li Ming's suggestion too seriously at first. Recalling his father's words in the letter, he was still resistant to joining other forces in his heart. But then a name Li Ming accidentally mentioned immediately caught Tian Jihong's attention.
"The only troublesome thing about the casual cultivators' union is that because it has just been established in the past few years, it has expanded too quickly in the Seibu Continent. Its behavior of recruiting casual cultivators has already caused other forces to recruit people everywhere every year. They are dissatisfied, especially the Shigure Sect, the overlord of Seibu Continent, who is the strongest.”
"According to rumors, in the past two years, various competitions between the casual cultivators' unions and Yuzong have been launched in various places in Seibu, and it has even heated up to the point of launching a war. Fortunately, the small-scale conflicts in various places have not yet been resolved at this time. It is limited to the mortal soldiers recruited by both sides, and the level of monks has not been involved. Otherwise, the Seibu Continent might have been shrouded in the flames of war." Thinking that these two terrifying forces who couldn't see each other could start a full-scale war at any time, even A monk like Li Ming couldn't help but feel a little worried in his eyes.
As soon as he heard the name of Shi Yu Zong, the enemy, the tiredness in Tian Jihong's mind was instantly wiped away. At this time, when he heard that the casual cultivator union also had a dispute with Shi Yu Zong, he suddenly became jealous of the former. I felt an inexplicable favorable impression, and the previous resistance has also eased. Of course, he also knew that if the war between the two sides really extended to the level of practitioners, the casual cultivator union would definitely face a complete defeat. You must know that the title of the No. 1 sect in the martial arts world of Shigure Sect is not for nothing. If both sides If they really fight to the death, Tianjihong is obviously optimistic about the latter who has superior strength and foundation. But in this way, maybe it will be his opportunity. He can join the ranks of Yuzong's contenders through the casual cultivator union, and he can even use the power of the union to find his parents and help them get out of the crisis. .
Li Ming also noticed Tian Jihong's sudden interest, so he continued: "In short, if you are not afraid of attracting the attention of the Shigu Sect by joining the casual cultivator union, I would recommend you to take it as your future career choice. A choice. The casual cultivator union is different from the mercenary union. Its members are not allowed to join other sects. However, it also allows monks below the elder level to voluntarily withdraw from the union. They will not be regarded as traitors like other sects. Return home. This humane rule is also highly praised by many casual cultivators and is the reason why they are willing to join the union. If one day you feel that the union is no longer suitable for you, you may choose to leave on your own."
"The most important reason why I recommend it to you is that I just found out a while ago that the casual cultivator union may consider setting up a temporary recruitment point near Donglin Village in the next few weeks, and its purpose is exactly the same. It's because he sees the hidden value in your area. Many young people who have no chance to practice due to their remote location are the targets of his recruitment, let alone talented wizards like you who are almost buried in this wilderness. Yes. How about it? What did you think after hearing what I said?" Li Ming finally asked.
"Well, after hearing what you said, my disciple is really interested in this casual cultivator union. But now, my disciple hasn't learned any skills from you. Even if he joins the union, he can't do anything. So let me introduce it to you. Think about it carefully and wait until your cultivation level improves a bit before making a decision." Tian Jihong replied, the master had already said it for this reason, so naturally it was for his own sake that he strongly recommended him to join, and he was sure of this sentiment. It’s essential.
However, there is no rush to do this at the moment. After all, there are still a few weeks before the recruitment point is set up. Tianjihong, who is cautious by nature, still has to use this time to find out the origin of this union before discussing it. At the same time, Yu Zong Li Ming's hatred is unknown to him, and the twists and concerns of joining any force are not as simple as they appear on the surface. If the other party discovers the relationship between him and Yu Zong, it is okay to refuse him to join. If he accidentally leaks the information and attracts the attention of the enemy, then he really can't bear the consequences.
