As soon as True Monarch Fenghua finished speaking, everyone in the palace could not help but be shocked.
Zhang Ke's expression also became solemn, but he ignored the problem.
A single attack method, no matter how powerful it is, will cause fatal harm at a critical moment if it is deliberately targeted.
Half of Fenghua Zhenjun's words come from public motives, and the other half come from selfish motives.
In the two years since he joined the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect', he has gained a sufficient understanding of the sect.
The energetic, diligent and studious disciples of the Southern Sect indeed gave True Monarch Fenghua a great surprise, which was of great benefit to the deduction and development of the 'craftsman's sect' technique.
And this was the main reason why he joined Yiqi Nanzong.
But at the same time, he also found that it was extremely difficult to extend the techniques of the 'Takumi Sect', not just for him, but also for the inheritance of other sects.
The fundamental reason is that in the innate realm, which is the basic stage of the spiritual path, disciples in this realm are simply unwilling to get involved in other lineages.
Because an extremely powerful magical weapon like the ‘Ruyi Shuttle’ can basically deal with most dangers and challenges in the Xiantian realm.
These Xiantian realm disciples are more willing to use the extra time to do things they like.
For example, completing sect tasks, traveling deep into the secular world to help ordinary people, or deriving some of your favorite projects, etc.
True Lord Fenghua discussed countermeasures with True Lord Lingyun frequently, and they also made a lot of efforts, but they were still unable to shake the minds of the disciples.
Rather than working hard to practice a spell that is of little use or learning some techniques that are far inferior to those inherited by the sect, they believe in the power of the 'Ruyi Shuttle'.
After all, the power of this magical weapon is too great.
At this time, Zhenjun Fenghua saw the performance of the disciples of the Southern Sect in the illusion. While he was surprised by the power of 'Ruyi Shuo', he also saw his own opportunity.
So he directly pointed out the biggest flaw of Nanzong disciples.
They rely too much on 'Ruyisuo'.
At this time, the purple halo above the [Reincarnation Staff] has expanded and contracted once, and the dense mist that manifested the illusion of Yu Tingzhang dispersed and turned into smoke as the halo fluctuated, and then manifested another illusion.
Zhang Ke carefully watched the performance of the Nanzong disciples in the illusion.
It was found that almost all the disciples of the Southern Sect were running the ‘Ruyi Shuttle’ to kill insects, and basically no one was willing to cast spells or other magic weapons.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Ke asked:
"Junior Brother Fenghua's words are very true, but I don't know if there is any good way to improve this situation?"
Lord Fenghua smiled and said:
"I just see the hidden dangers. As for the solutions, everyone still needs to improve them."
Another casual cultivator, Zhenjun Yunjie, looked around, stood up, walked to the corridor of the main hall and cupped his hands towards Zhang Ke.
"Master, in my opinion, if you want to solve this problem, you must first understand your own strengths and weaknesses."
This statement was not difficult to understand, so Zhang Ke and everyone in the palace did not speak, but waited for True Lord Yunjie's explanation.
True Lord Yunjie continued:
"For example, sword cultivators, they are extremely aggressive and good at flexible tactics.
Therefore, sword cultivators generally rarely form teams because other practitioners simply cannot keep up with their pace.
Forcibly cooperating together will actually be a drag on sword cultivators."
Qingmei, who was sitting next to Zhang Ke, and Yuan Jinting, who was standing on the steps below, couldn't help but nodded.
"Let's talk about conjurers. It's impossible for every conjurer to only learn a few spells. Even conjurers in the innate realm are good at at least fifteen kinds of spells.
Because only in this way can they cope with various complex situations.
For example, opponents such as ghosts and spirit bodies need fire, thunder, sun and other spells to fight against them.
And for opponents who are good at curses, poisons, formations, etc., they need to be proficient in multiple abilities to restrain them.
Therefore, the greater the number of conjurers, the stronger their ability to deal with danger, because the spells they are good at can easily complement each other."
True Lord Yunjie paused briefly and continued:
“Now let’s talk about the advantages and disadvantages of our ‘Ruyi Shuo’.
The advantage is that whether we are fighting alone or in groups, when we encounter ordinary opponents, we can form a crushing force.
This can be seen from the performance of the disciples in the illusion. Once it reaches a large scale, it can be described as devastating.
But the disadvantages are equally eye-catching. If it encounters some special targets and the 'Ruyi Shuttle' is unable to function, it may lead to large-scale casualties."
After briefly analyzing the problems existing among the disciples of the Southern Sect, Master Yunjie put forward two suggestions.
"I think this matter can be solved from two aspects.
First, let the disciples learn some spells to make up for the lack of attack methods.
Secondly, because of the powerful effect of the 'Ruyi Shuttle', if three or five people act together, the power exerted will be even more powerful.
The disciples in the sect can be formed into smaller groups. If the disciples are good at different directions, the abilities of each disciple can complement each other."
Zhang Ke's heart moved, and a word flashed in his mind.
'Mercenary squad!'
'Hey, this is not a bad idea.'
For a moment, Zhang Ke's mind recalled the composition of elite teams in many dreams.
In dreams, elite squads are more suitable for flexible and changeable war situations.
It seems like I can learn from it!
True Monarch Yunjie comes from Zhongzhou and is also a casual cultivator.
However, his practice was not as smooth as that of Long Guanwen. He embarked on the path of practice at the age of forty, advanced to the golden elixir level at the age of seventy, and achieved Yuan Shen at the age of six hundred.
Almost all of them made breakthroughs under the pressure of deadlines, and their breadth of knowledge and experience is unparalleled by few in the entire spiritual world.
Due to his oral habits, Lord Yunjie likes to use words such as 'I think', 'I feel', and 'In my opinion' to enhance the persuasiveness of his words.
After the others thought for a while, Zhenjun Yunjie continued:
“I have worked with countless people in my life and experienced as many battle scenes as stars.
According to my experience, small teams are actually more suitable for practitioners.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! They can not only complement each other, but also take care of each other, enhancing the tacit understanding and friendship between disciples."
True Lord Yunjie pondered for a moment and then said:
"For example, if a disciple of our sect travels abroad, he will have to solve several difficulties."
He stretched out the five fingers of his left hand, and then curled up his little finger.
"First, there are safety issues during rest, including morning and evening schoolwork, daily operations, and nightly sleep. No one can maintain a high level of concentration for a long time.
But if someone is around, all these problems can be solved."
Immediately afterwards, True Lord Yunjie raised his ring finger.
"Second, there is the issue of injuries. Practitioners are exposed to almost all kinds of dangers throughout their lives, and injuries are unavoidable.
If you are alone outside, you may die from injuries."
Curl your middle finger.
“Third, every practitioner will encounter the problem of encountering unbeatable opponents or being besieged by many people.
But if you are not alone, you will have many more options to deal with."
Flex your index finger.
"Fourth, what to do when you encounter problems and difficulties that you are not good at handling? One person can judge the shortcomings, and two people can judge the strengths. It is always better to have someone to discuss with you."
In the end, True Lord Yunjie bent his thumb, looked around the people in the hall, and said loudly:
"The most important point is psychological defense. People live in groups and need to rely on each other.
The biggest advantage of having many people together is the psychological safety and mutual encouragement and help, which is crucial when you are in a desperate situation."
The sect's advantage is trust and unity, but usually this advantage is only revealed in large-scale battles.
Under normal circumstances, when sect disciples go out for travel, although they do travel in groups, most of the time they travel alone.
At this time, everyone felt that Zhenjun Yunjie's analysis made sense.
The illusion of the [Reincarnation Staff] in the palace is still changing, but everyone's attention is no longer on it.
In response to Zhenjun Yunjie's words, everyone couldn't help but discuss in low voices.
Fenghua Zhenjun and others are extremely satisfied with this situation. It is not their inner wish to be a dominant family. Only by letting a hundred flowers bloom can the inheritance of their factions be continued and developed.
In fact, in the world of spiritual practice, whether they are sect disciples or casual practitioners, they are not unaware of the benefits of forming a team.
However, this kind of team usually only gathers together temporarily when encountering difficulties or difficult-to-complete tasks.
After the difficulty is resolved or the task is completed, they will be separated again.
After all, everyone has their own things to deal with, and there is no reason to let others accompany you all the time.
There are also reasons such as personal privacy and security that need to be considered.
This is most prominent among casual cultivators.
No wandering loose cultivator dares to bring strangers into his home easily. This will bring huge hidden dangers to the safety of his family.
After listening to Zhenjun Yunjie's narration, Zhang Ke couldn't help but nod secretly.
As expected of a casual cultivator who has been in the spiritual world for a lifetime, these issues are undoubtedly understood by Zhenjun Yunjie based on his own personal experience and what he sees and hears.
Perhaps most practitioners can recognize these issues, but they may not be able to state them so clearly.
Zhang Ke encountered the same problem when he first entered the spiritual world and traveled. Whether it was food, clothing, housing, transportation or other aspects, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Moreover, because he was walking alone, he was attacked by other practitioners in the talisman carriage he built.
If it weren't for his own strength, he would have fallen hundreds of years ago.
Therefore, he agreed very much with what True Lord Yunjie said.
"Junior Brother Yunjie's words are eloquent. The two methods are indeed very feasible, but I don't know what Junior Brother has to say about the composition of this small team?"
True Lord Yunjie did not immediately answer Zhang Ke's inquiry, but said something else.
"The reason why the spiritual practice world has never developed a model of collective action for small-scale teams is because, in addition to some of the difficulties and concerns I mentioned before, there is another very important reason.
