My magic weapons are all rule-based

After watching for a long time, Lu Xiangjun was always in a state of concentration.

Xu Shan patted the window frame twice and coughed again.

The teacher and the "primary school students" in the room all turned their heads to look at him.

Lu Xiangjun was no exception, and her face turned red like a tomato on the spot.

She hurriedly dropped the book and ran out the door.

Facing Xu Shan, hesitantly said: "Junior brother, why are you here?"

"Senior brother, what are you doing?"

Facing Xu Shan's "torture" eyes, Lu Xiangjun was ashamed and angry.

"Nothing, I'm bored..."

"Senior brother doesn't want to say it, forget it, junior brother, I don't want to inquire about other people's privacy, you can say it if you want, I won't laugh at you, I have received professional training." Xu Shan pressed on step by step.

He was really curious.

A foundation-building cultivator ran to the elementary school classroom to study.

Could it be some special method of cultivation, what kind of insights did reading produce?

In the previous life, I read online articles about Confucianism and Taoism, and it is not impossible to hurt people by reciting poems?

He has a lot of poems in his mind. If this is true, he will have a lot of tricks!

Lu Xiangjun was confused.

Seeing that Xu Shan did not mean to laugh at him, he said helplessly: "Actually, there is nothing else. I just have a hobby in this area..."

"Hobby? Who likes to study and go to school?"

Lu Xiangjun waved her hands shyly: "Senior brother is different from you. I was picked up by my master and brought to the mountain since I was a child."

"My master also taught me to read and write. I have been practicing every day for more than 20 years, and I have never changed... To be honest, I really yearn for the life of ordinary people."

"Look at these people, they sit there reading, learning mathematics, astronomy and geography, and they can take the imperial examination step by step in the future, and they don’t have to worry about insufficient resources... I envy this kind of life, how happy it is."

He is only in his twenties, not even as old as himself.

Loving to go to school, isn’t this a disease? I thought I had peeped into some secret method of cultivation.

Xu Shan’s face twitched twice.

"Xuqiu, Senior Brother is really elegant, I admire you!"

Xu Shan clasped his fists and praised, and continued to walk out of the city gate without saying anything.

Lu Xiangjun hurriedly pulled him: "You are not looking down on me, are you?"

"That can't be!" Xu Shan waved his hands repeatedly, "But Senior Brother, your hobby is indeed a bit special. Do you know how much mortals outside want to practice? They are crazy about it!"

Seeing that Xu Shan really didn't mean to laugh at him, Lu Xiangjun was relieved.

"Mortals who have never practiced practice don't know what boredom is! They really don't know how to appreciate their blessings!"

"....."

"Have you bought all the ingredients? Have you caught the ghost spirit?"

"I bought the ingredients, but I won't catch the ghost spirit anymore. I don't have time."

"Those are all unimportant things. Let's go back to the mountain gate now."

......

For four days, Xu Shan was not distracted and practiced cooking with all his strength. Zhang Biao was left at his residence.

Until the monks from various sects rushed to Xinglan Sect, the general menu had been ordered.

The work was not easy.

Twenty sects, at least dozens of dishes were prepared.

For a modern young man who just loves cooking, it is undoubtedly quite difficult.

So Xu Shan cunningly added some Western food.

When the time comes, prepare a plate, spread a spoonful of sauce on the plate, smear it, put some flowers and plants, and finally fry two pieces of meat to make a dish.

It looks quite similar to that, and the dishes are served quickly. I don’t know if the cultivators can accept it, but I really know a limited amount.

I can’t cook cosmic cuisine for others...

On the day of the sects’ visit.

A temporary open-air kitchen was built in advance on the back mountain of the Xinglan Sect’s main hall.

A large amount of ingredients were placed outside for use.

Before the guests arrived, Lu Xiangjun and Xu Shan chatted casually.

“Junior brother, I can’t help you at all. You should do it well. If you do it well, I can ask for more rewards.”

Xu Shan nodded.

He said he wanted Lu Xiangjun to help, and he was planning to really help. If he didn't know any cooking skills, it would be more likely to cause more trouble.

It was easy for a Foundation Establishment Stage person to be responsible for the meals of 100 to 80 people.

"Brother, I still don't know much about what the Water Realm Centennial Competition is. How much do you know?"

Lu Xiangjun scratched his head: "It's a long story. In the seven major cultivation domains in the north of the cultivation world, each domain has a similar sect competition."

"It is said that three thousand years ago, the cultivators were in endless disputes, and the cultivation world was in chaos. They fought for resources and suffered countless casualties. Later, many powerful sects agreed to the Taikoo Covenant and jointly established the Taikoo Pavilion to rebuild and maintain the order of the northern cultivation world."

"The top sects in the major cultivation domains are basically members of the Taikoo Pavilion. They are responsible for calling on and organizing the sects in various domains to compete for resource allocation under the rules, so the Centennial Competition came about in this way. This is also the best opportunity for all sects to compete for resources."

"Even a small sect like us has a chance to get a share of it, but the hope is very small."

Xu Shan was thoughtful.

It seems that the cultivation world is not as chaotic as imagined, but this is not surprising.

The cultivators themselves are stronger than mortals, so it is impossible for them to evolve as a whole. Instead, their organizational behavior has degenerated into a beast state, and they have been in disorderly competition.

"What are the seven major cultivation domains? How strong is the water realm?"

Lu Xiangjun said slowly: "Tianxin Domain is the strongest in all aspects. I heard that there is a dynasty of cultivators. The sects under Lingmu Domain are good at alchemy, Jingang Domain is good at refining weapons, Huntian Domain is good at formations, and Danmo Domain is good at talismans."

"There is also a very special Tiegu Domain. It is said that the environment in this domain is extremely dangerous. Ordinary cultivators never like it, but it is particularly loved by body cultivators. It is the best place to temper the body."

"What about Shuijing Domain?" Xu Shan asked curiously.

"Shuijing Domain is mainly for old-age care."

"..."

Lu Xiangjun was a little embarrassed: "Don't look at me like that, I just heard it from my master, and I haven't been far away."

"He said that Shuijing Domain is the weakest of the seven domains. Many independent cultivators have reached their limit and have no hope of breaking through, so they run back here to establish a sect and live in old age. Or they are hunted down in the other six domains and hide here."

"It's not just the righteous cultivators. One side of Shuijing Domain is close to the sea, called Shenling Sea, which is connected to the place where the demon cultivators in the southern border gather. Many desperate demon cultivators risked their lives to cross the sea and run here for refuge."

"But I think my master still has some reservations about me. He said that he has been to many places, but he still thinks Shuijing Domain is the best, with a slow pace of life. As for what is good about it, he didn't tell me in detail."

Xu Shan's expression was stiff.

What the hell is there to tell me in detail!

Isn't it just that when he was young, he couldn't make it in the big city, so he ran back to a small town?

He even called it a liking for a slow pace of life.

Why does it feel like there is less and less hope... The birthplace is actually directly in a nursing home!
