My magic weapons are all rule-based

"What? What does cyber cultivation mean?" Long Xiuming asked curiously.

"Nothing." Xu Shan answered casually, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, it's really messy here."

"It's okay, I think it's good." Long Xiuming said seriously, "I didn't like to talk to people when I was young, but now I don't have to talk. It's clear what the other party is selling, which saves a lot of trouble."

Xu Shan smiled and continued to move forward.

He stopped again after just two steps.

A building on the right is eye-catching. It is obviously much higher than other locations and looks brand new.

It was completed later than other buildings.

The most important thing is that there is no advertisement at the door. There is a large plaque hanging above it, with only the words [奇楼] written on it.

There is also a couplet on the vertical plaques on the left and right below.

[The wind and clouds gather in this building, and the heroes conspire for the world. ]

[The name is spread in the world, and the heroes draw the world together. ]

Just looking at the name, it feels like a place to sign a contract, but it is unlikely to be a place to sign a contract.

"There are many people coming in and out of Qilou, what are they doing..."

"Look at what I am doing, how can I know so clearly, Lijia Village is your territory."

"Then let's go, let's go in and take a look."

Xu Shan led the way into Qilou and saw the center at a glance.

Four big words popped up in his mind with a buzz.

Mercenary Guild!

The Qilou seemed unusually spacious, and the decoration was also simple and rustic.

Hundreds of seats were arranged neatly, and many monks were waiting in their seats or talking to each other.

There was a long counter in front of him, and several monks were talking to people in front of the counter.

A huge projection was floating above the counter.

But the content in the projection...was all the task entrustment and reward amount.

Collecting spiritual medicine, forming a team to hunt monsters, hiring murderers, exchanging information...everything is available!

Xu Shan fell into deep thought.

How could it be...It is understandable that Lijia Village has a market, but why would it give birth to a form like a mercenary guild?

According to his knowledge, this kind of cooperation model cannot be said to be absolutely non-existent in the world of cultivation, but it is very scattered and difficult to sustain, which is completely incomparable with the atmosphere in Qilou.

Cultivators from large families and powerful forces have no need to cooperate with other cultivators.

And independent cultivators mostly invite their familiar friends to practice, and they cannot trust outsiders at all.

This kind of organizational form of cooperation between strangers should not appear, or appear for a long time.

But it happened to appear in Lijia Village now.

After thinking about it... maybe there is only one possibility.

Xu Shan looked up at the light screen that issued the commission task.

Biquge has been exerting its strength, and Baodanzong has been doing business here, selling cheap pills to attract people.

There are more independent cultivators coming and going, and they have regarded this place as a fixed base for independent cultivators.

Later, the market was built, and the exchanges were more intensive. There were also punishments for those who did not keep their promises...

There are already some shadows of acquaintance society and credit society among independent cultivators.

Perhaps this is the real reason for the birth of a new cooperation model.

Connected, the solitary cultivators were connected... and Lijia Village became a node.

Xu Shan grinned.

Interesting, really interesting!

He finally understood why so many big forces were eager to take action against Lijia Village.

Before that, he still had some doubts in his heart.

Just talking about selling students and Biquge, it was not enough to make those forces that claimed to have been passed down for thousands of years tempted.

It turned out that what really tempted them was this market and this Qilou.

Although they came here were all ordinary casual cultivators, they were valued for their mastery of a large amount of information and intelligence, and for the early recruitment and training of future talents.

If the casual cultivators did not disperse, and could even twist into a ball, then the potential for future development would be immeasurable.

The golden signboard of Lijia Village has been erected, with huge potential and huge benefits, but with extremely small risks and weak foundations. It is enough to tempt every force.

"Hiss, not bad! Interesting." Long Xiuming frowned and looked at the commissioned tasks in the light curtain.

When I was young, there was no such service. Times have really changed.

But it seems that only Lijia Village has changed. How strange!

He was still thinking, and Xu Shan had already walked to the counter.

There were five seats in a row of counters, and one of them was just vacant.

The monk behind the counter wore a plain robe with a deed embroidered on his shoulder.

Seeing Xu Shan, he smiled and said, "Senior, are you entrusting or being entrusted?"

Seeing that the other party was only in the Qi Refining Stage, Xu Shan asked casually, "I want to ask where you are from, Baodan Sect or Lijia Village?"

"Lijia Village." The monk behind the counter replied.

Xu Shan's face turned cold, as if a layer of ice had formed.

"Why are you busying yourself here instead of going to school and practicing?"

Damn, the piglets are not eating and growing meat in the pigpen, but running outside to exercise!

This is unreasonable, isn't this cutting my meat! ?

If you want to exercise, you have to wait until you are out of the cage and go to other sects to exercise!

"Senior, what's the matter with you? Fighting is forbidden here, or you will be expelled..." The monk from Lijia Village asked timidly, his scalp tingling.

This was the first time someone asked him such a strange question, and the other party had a sense of authority without anger.

This person is not friendly!

"Answer me, I asked you to answer me!" Xu Shan knocked on the counter fiercely, pulling a donkey face, "Who asked you to come here to work?"

A powerful aura of the foundation-building realm instantly enveloped the body of the Lijia Village cultivator.

The cultivator was stiff and extremely frightened.

He suddenly covered his mouth and burst into tears.

"I... am a member of the student union... and was expelled... Senior, what are you going to do? If you hit me, I will never be able to come to Lijia Village again!"

Xu Shan instantly restrained his momentum and showed a sunny face.

So that's it, the student union was still expelled.

That's no problem... Recycling waste is good!

"Little brother, don't be nervous. I just asked a simple question. I have absolutely no ill intentions." Xu Shan smiled kindly and changed his face at the speed of light.

The Lijia Village cultivator had a bitter expression and nodded reluctantly.

So he has no ill intentions!

The malice was almost overflowing. Those who didn't know would think that he had stolen his spirit stone and was making a ghost fire here.

It was miserable enough for me to be a dropout. Who did I offend?

Xu Shan was about to continue asking when a black shadow pressed down beside him.

When he glanced sideways, he saw a giant man with a height of two meters and a face full of flesh staring at him.

The giant man stretched out his hand and directly hit Xu Shan's shoulder.

Xu Shan did not dodge, and shook with his strength, then looked up at the giant man.

"You are..."

"Boy, you look unfamiliar, are you new here?"

"Yes, then, what do you have to say?"

"I heard you nagging, what are you bragging about? Meeting a young man who is practicing Qi will make you feel bad, right!" The giant man raised his eyebrows and looked down at him, "We are all here to do business and in a hurry, so you should follow the rules."

"If you keep nagging, I will crush your head."

There were many hostile eyes around, all staring at Xu Shan, and some of them looked ready to make a move.

After all, the capitalist's face just now really deserved a beating.

Xu Shan had a complicated expression, and raised his hands to beg for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong! I'm not so awesome anymore, go and do your work."

"Hmph, if you don't know what the rules are, I'll teach you next time!" The giant snorted coldly, turned around and left.
