My magic weapons are all rule-based

"Besides, you entrusted this sword to Qinglei Pavilion on my behalf. Now that the sword is lost, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to you if the news gets out. It's better to be slow and slow."

"After all, no one wants this to happen, but things don't always go as planned. How can I blame you?"

"Brother Chen and I are fellow cultivators. It's really unnecessary for you to ask him to kneel here to show me your attitude. Please ask him to go back and wash and heal his wounds."

Chen Tianhe lowered his head, his eyes red.

The muscles on his cheeks twitched wildly.

It's completely different from what I imagined!

This guy...how can he pretend? What the hell is he pretending to be generous!

Fuck! How can he act so well? How can he not be anxious when the Heart-Slaying Sword is lost?

He's still pretending to beg for me!

No...he should want to get me out first, and then talk to Grandpa one-on-one.

After that, he will blackmail me. That's right...it's impossible for someone to lose such a treasure as the Heart-Slaying Sword and not be anxious!

"Since Dean Xu is pleading for you, then you can get out!" Chen Xiang slammed the table and looked at Chen Tianhe.

Chen Tianhe stood up and walked out with his teeth bared in pain.

"Dean Xu pleaded for you, and you can't even say thank you?" Chen Xiang's cold voice sounded behind him.

Chen Tianhe's face froze, and he turned to face Xu Shan and whispered: "Thank you, Brother Xu..."

"You're welcome, Brother Chen, go and heal your wounds quickly." Xu Shan responded casually.

When Chen Tianhe left, Chen Xiang smiled brightly, clapped his hands and praised: "Dean Xu, it seems that I underestimated you before. You are definitely a man who can do great things, and your mind is unmatched!"

"Let's not talk about this heretic's words."

"No." Chen Xiang's expression was solemn, "I am not flattering you. The value of the Heart-Slaying Sword cannot be resisted by any sect. You are not as good as you in not being moved by external things."

Xu Shan raised the wine glass and smiled: "No matter how valuable the Heart-Slaying Sword is, it is not as important as our feelings, because it is not worth it to hurt our feelings with this little thing."

Chen Xiang was stunned, and then laughed.

This hearty laughter shook the roof faintly.

"Okay, that's really good. With what you said, I won't be able to continue to live in Luwang City if I don't help you find the sword."

The two clinked glasses, and Xu Shan sighed: "Speaking of feelings, my master passed away a few days ago. I wonder if Chen Xiang knows?"

"I heard that your master is not easy, and it is gratifying to be able to cultivate such an excellent disciple like you..." Chen Xiang said, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

There are only a few cultivators in the world who can live forever, and most of them die halfway.

It is already a blessing for Jin Yangqiu to be free from worries.

Not to mention that there is a disciple like Xu Shan.

"Speaking of my master, he is obsessed with helping me take care of Lijia Village. In fact, I also have some plans to make him more glorious...but it's a pity..."

"What plans?" Chen Xiang asked.

"Speaking of which, although Lijia Village is listed in the Taigu Pavilion, its strength is really not in line with other sects... So I once thought of letting Lijia Village perform the duties of the Taigu Pavilion."

Xu Shan paused, and then said: "Lijia Village will host the Heroes' Meeting. Although my master is gone, I still want to continue this matter."

"Heroes' Meeting..." Chen Xiang knocked on the table.

The Heroes' Meeting is held every thirty years, and the Taigu Pavilion Sect is responsible for hosting it to compete for the strongest Jindan cultivator in the north.

There are quite a few people competing for this quota. After all, the home court can declare the muscle of the sect to attract more cultivators to join.

But Lijia Village...it is indeed difficult to compete for this quota.

The Taigu Pavilion has a lot of public expenses, but Lijia Village has never participated, and no one wants to find it.

No one could have expected it to rise as fast as riding a flying sword.

"Although your matter is not big, it is still somewhat difficult. It requires a vote from the other 27 sects."

"There are quite a few sects in the Taikoo Pavilion that cooperate with me. Can I get enough votes? In fact, I think the advantage is great. Lijia Village is neutral, and the strong people who can stand out in the group of heroes will not join Lijia Village, and will not affect other forces."

Chen Xiang thought quietly for a moment: "According to what you said, if you count those who have interests with Lijia Village, and they have no intention of holding a group of heroes, then your chances are really good... Since you want to do it, I can help you with this matter."

"But I don't understand, you can't get much benefit from it except for the volume, so what's the point?"

Xu Shan smiled slightly: "In fact, what I want is the volume."

"In addition to holding the group of heroes, there is another thing."

"One more thing?" Chen Xiang thought while twisting the wine cup.

Xu Shan has said so much today, and he has given him enough face and favors.

It's really hard to refute.

The group of heroes is not a difficult matter. It seems that this second thing is his main purpose.

"This is actually not difficult, but there are some obstacles. Please help me as a consultant."

"Please speak."

Xu Shan said leisurely: "There are branches of Lijia Village in the seven regions of the north, but we are always short of management personnel, especially excellent personnel, so I want to connect the seven academies."

"Set up formations in the seven regions and use jade slips to form a communication network. I wonder if this is feasible?"

Chen Xiang's eyebrows jumped: "Do you know that Taigu Pavilion has done such a thing? Many cultivators died because of this communication network?"

"I know, so it is limited to our Lijia Village. It is more appropriate to call it an intranet."

"It is limited to the use of Lijia Village, which is not a big problem. After all, it is the business of our own sect." Chen Xiang thought, "But the resources consumed in it are not something you can afford. Maybe you still have the financial resources to maintain it before."

"But I heard that you spent all your financial resources to repair Fufeng Cave Mansion, and the reward to Juezhen Sect was still paid off in 30 years."

"Yes, it is true. I don't have much money." Xu Shan smiled shyly, "So Chen Xiang thinks it is feasible, I hope to borrow some from you."

"Borrow..." Chen Xiang raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Shan with a smile, "It's not that I can't take it out, but you have to come up with a proper plan. Otherwise, even if you and I have a deep relationship, I can't waste the spirit stones. You should understand that I, like you, have a whole family behind me."

"Of course I understand."

After that, Xu Shan took out a stack of manuscript paper from the storage bag.

"I actually found many people to discuss this matter when I was managing Lijia Village, and I also consulted with people from Juezhen Sect."

"This blueprint is about the construction of nodes between the formations. Is it the problem of nodes that Chen Xiang is worried about?"

Looking at the blueprint, Chen Xiang nodded.

To build such a system is naturally expensive.

Even if it is only used by the Lijia Village branch, it is quite expensive.

The high cost is nothing. After all, as long as the formation is set up, it will run for thousands of years without any problem.

The biggest cost is maintenance.
