Liu Yan, who was waiting in the courtyard next door, saw Gu Cheng, who hurriedly returned not long after entering, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "He refused?"

Gu Cheng squeaked: "No, that, Mr. Su is going to live here for half a year, let me pay the rest of the expenses first." ”

Liu Yan was stunned: "What?"

Gu Cheng explained the matter clearly again, and looked at Liu Yan embarrassedly.

Liu Yan frowned, "You have to think about it, let's not talk about the room fee for half a year, just the cost of opening the earth lung fire pool is not something you and I can gamble on." In the final analysis, this Xusheng Inn is the private property of my uncle, and it is only because I am pitiful that I have nowhere to go that I let me settle here. Although I can't see the origin of this Su Gongzi, I dare to live directly in the Huojiao courtyard, let the warriors of the Three Realms be subordinates, and let Song Zhao be willing to be a slave and a servant, this confidence, this means, is definitely not something we can provoke, if he doesn't agree afterwards, we can only admit it. ”

Gu Cheng was also apprehensive in his heart, and he had been crawling all the way, he had always calculated others and borrowed strength. Today, this Su Gongzi is a guy who is very deep in the city, in just a few words, he said lightly, and he was not reluctant, so he put himself in a dilemma and had to accept it first.

However, thinking of Shi Ze's message to himself, Gu Cheng was unwilling to give up, and said in a low voice: "The bigger the faction, the stronger the background, the less afraid the Kang family is, I think you can gamble!"

Liu Yan persuaded: "The people from the big family are all unkind and unrighteous people, he can not care, but we can't afford to lose!"

Gu Cheng gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "No, if you don't gamble at this time, I'm afraid you won't even have the opportunity to gamble in the future." It's okay, if Senior Liu is to blame, I will carry it alone, and it will be a big deal to take a few whips from him!"

"You ......"

"Hurry up, he's still waiting......"

After sending Liu Yan away, Gu Cheng rubbed his stiff cheeks, all kinds of thoughts came to his heart, and he was also asking if he was dizzy.

Half an hour later, Gu Cheng carried the food box, returned to the room, and after setting up the wine and food, he turned over and took out a piece of red jade and put it in front of Su Mo, "The fee for the small courtyard has already been paid, this is the token to enter the earth lung fire pool, please take it." ”

Su Mo picked up the red jade, didn't look at it closely, and handed it to Song Zhao casually.

Song Zhao took the red jade, which was a little incredible, so that the opportunity that countless scattered cultivators in the castle could not ask for, just got it?

Childe deserves to be a childe, this calm bearing, even if it is a casual cultivator, if you go out to cheat, you can make a fortune!

Su Mo looked at Gu Cheng, who was a little nervous, and stretched out his hand and said, "Senior Gu, please take a seat!"

Gu Cheng perked up, sat down on the opposite side carefully, and arched his hand: "The seniors don't dare to be, if the son doesn't dislike it, just call me Gu Cheng!." ”

Su Mo smiled and asked, "Who is Captain Gu's teacher?"

"The family teacher is also a loose cultivator, and when I had not yet built a foundation, I was ambushed by an enemy in the mountains and fell. ”

"I'm sorry. ”

"It's nothing, I've seen it a long time ago, on the road of cultivation, life and death, for our casual cultivation, it is the most normal. Gu Cheng drank a glass of wine and tried to ask, "I don't know which family the son is?"

Su Mo smiled: "Like you, you are also from a casual cultivation background. ”

Gu Cheng's face changed slightly, then returned to normal, and shook his head: "Impossible." ”

Su Mo asked, "Why is it impossible?"

Gu Cheng smiled bitterly: "It's not easy to earn some spirit stones for casual cultivation, who is willing to live in the Huojiao Courtyard? And Gongzi is so young, not only has the Three Realms martial artists by his side as his followers, but also makes the Song seniors willing to follow, no matter how you look at it, it is not the temperament that casual cultivation can have." ”

Su Mo's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "I was indeed born in a casual cultivator, but I was lucky, I was lucky enough to worship the Taixuan Sect and became a disciple of the Law Enforcement Palace, so I dared to swagger through the market, which made the head of the Gu regiment smile." ”

"It turned out to be a disciple of Taixuanzong, and I took the liberty of it!" Gu Cheng showed a sudden expression, but he still didn't believe Su Mo's statement of his cultivation background.

Su Mo waved his hand and said, "Head Gu is polite, I don't know what is the matter with looking for me late at night?"

Gu Cheng didn't believe that Su Mo didn't know his purpose, otherwise why would he let him renew the accommodation fee, and he also accepted the red jade calmly. So he took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I am going to set up a chamber of commerce to find a way out for my brothers and get rid of the identity of casual cultivation." ”

Everywhere, creating a chamber of commerce is a serious matter, and it's not something you can open and close whenever you want. After all, it involves the flow of cultivation resources, and the first thing it touches is the interests of the wealthy families.

Su Mo smiled lightly: "Head Gu is ambitious, and I admire him, but does this matter have anything to do with me?"

Gu Cheng sighed: "The conditions for the creation of the Chamber of Commerce are very harsh, not only to be recognized by the local government, but also to make excessive contributions to the local area, and at the same time have resource supply channels and hand over enough spirit stones for guarantee. ”

Su Mo smiled and asked, "I don't know how many conditions you meet?"

Gu Cheng said in a deep voice: "Our Feather Eagle Demon Hunting Regiment has been preparing for this for thirty years, storing a lot of resources, and handing over 300,000 spirit stones to the Commander's Mansion as a guarantee, and at the same time going deep into the Qingcang Mountain Range and killing the six third-order demon beasts on the Demon Hunting List, it can be regarded as shedding blood for the Flying Eagle Castle, and now it is almost the approval of the Commander's Mansion." ”

The so-called demon hunting list is a kind of list that is widely circulated in the local area, that is, the monsters and monsters that pose a greater threat to the human race are listed in detail and rewarded at a high price.

Gu Cheng wants to create a chamber of commerce, and in the absence of other ways, hunting the demon beasts on the list is naturally the best choice, first, to prove himself, second, to enhance his prestige, and third, to obtain certain resources.

Su Mo said softly: "With your cultivation, it's not easy to kill six demon beasts of the same level!"

Gu Cheng looked sad and didn't dare to hide it, and said: "In order to complete these tasks, my brothers died twenty-five people in battle, and nearly 100 people were seriously injured and disabled. paid such a big price, just hope that the living can live better, so that the dead can feel at ease, but unfortunately, when the Chamber of Commerce is about to be completed, my sworn brother ......"

Loose cultivation is the largest group in the spiritual world, with the lowest status, and the most difficult to manage.

Under normal circumstances, no stable force, out of self-preservation, would allow a loose cultivator of unknown origin to enter the core power layer. Unless this loose practice has a strong interest support for them. And casual cultivators with such abilities will only look for stronger forces, or go alone, and do not want to be restrained.

The most important thing is that in order to maintain their dominance in the homeland, the clan will formulate various rules, either to protect mortals, or for the prosperity of the human race, or for the sake of order and stability. These seemingly fair rules, influenced by various factors, cut off most of the financial routes for casual cultivation.

The Cave Heaven Blessed Land has long had a master, and the spiritual vein mineral deposits belong to private individuals, and they are intertwined into a huge network of interests, driving the scattered cultivators to go deep into the poisonous miasma and danger, fighting with the demon beasts and spirits, and at the same time obtaining a little resource, the indirect human race expands its territory.

Of course, in addition to these, casual cultivation can also be done in business, but in order to ensure the fairness of the transaction, facilitate local management, and avoid chaotic situations such as the big store bullying customers, fake buying and selling, etc. Any chamber of commerce must be regulated and constrained.

This argument is reasonable, and no one can say that it is unreasonable, so the right to do business in casual practice has been weakened in disguise.

Of course, for a small number of private transactions, it is difficult for the sect family to manage, but such a transaction is not protected in any way, if the buyer and seller feel that they can kill each other, it is easy to fight, and if they can kill you, why do they have to pay?

As a result, the credibility of casual cultivation becomes worse and worse, and the rules formulated by the upper echelons become more and more reasonable and easier to be accepted by the world.

All kinds of things, what kind of casual cultivator doesn't want to get rid of the status of casual cultivation, has a stable income, and can cultivate with peace of mind?

At the beginning, when he founded Xinghai Pavilion, Su Mo saw through these rules, and he was originally arrogant and looked at others like fools, quickly reined in, made friends with all forces, and honestly hibernated, growing himself little by little, never taking risks easily, and not being stupid to touch these rules.

After listening to Gu Cheng's narration, Su Mo not only sighed, but felt that the Kang family was a bit excessive, a group of loose cultivators were originally pitiful people, not only helped you upper-class people kill six third-order demon beasts, but also sent them to you as dogs, as long as you nodded, someone would do the hard work, you just need to sit back and enjoy it, that's it, but also take care of them, and squeeze more benefits.

Of course, Su Mo couldn't talk about any sympathy.

He knew very well that this world was bound by rules, and it was also protected by these rules, without these rules, without the constraints of the sect family, without them to deter aliens, the human race would only fall into chaos.

And the reason why Gu Cheng found himself and satisfied his rude requirements was to go from being exploited by the rules to becoming a vested interest in the rules.

In a sense, there is not much difference from the interests of the Kang family.
