My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

Chapter 196 Enticement and Coercion

Upon hearing the voice, everyone looked behind them and saw that the newcomer was Sima Xiao, a sixth-grade Nascent Soul cultivator.

It can be said.

In a sense, these mercenaries who cultivated bloodline techniques were Sima Xiao's test subjects. The information collected from them would become the driving force for Sima Xiao's cultivation to rise.

Sima Xiao, as the dean of the Bloodline Research Institute of Xianmu Group, is also a pawn in the game of Xianren Company.

The company structure is progressively layered.

The information obtained from each mercenary will eventually be gathered in the hands of the immortal, perhaps as an experiment for the immortal to verify some kind of conjecture.

"Dean Sima!"

"Hello, Dean."

'

"

When Sima Xiao arrived at the training ground, the mercenaries present all bowed in greeting.

He nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then finally fixed his gaze on Gu Qing. Within Gu Qing lay a research achievement of a True Spirit-level bloodline, which was originally company property.

However, due to operational errors, the company lost this asset.

Any actions that harm the company's interests will not be tolerated.

"Gu Qingna!"

"You are talented, but this world is never short of geniuses. Look at the top ten universities in the Immortal Kingdom; geniuses are as numerous as carp crossing a river, but how many actually become immortals?"

Sima Xiao wore a kind smile, as if he were a wise and patient elder.

Seeing Gu Qing frown, he continued, "Is it because you think the contract provides too little funding?"

"It's okay."

"In my capacity as Dean, I'm offering you another interest-free loan of one billion spirit coins. What do you think?"

"hiss-

—

Before Sima Xiao finished speaking, everyone around him gasped in shock.

The wounded veterans turned their heads and began to scrutinize Gu Qing.

No one in their generation of mercenaries received such treatment.

"Dean!"

"This is not about money."

Gu Qing sneered inwardly.

The Xianmu Group's behavior is too ugly. If they had been willing to make a big bet when I first became a mercenary, I might still be tied to the Xianmu Group.

However, after the first two rounds of unrealistic investments, Gu Qing had seen through the ugly faces of these people.

They are all heartless capitalists who laugh as they devour people.

They are not even as good as capitalists.

"Dean, the matter of the Dao Domain is fundamental."

"I will definitely create an independent Dao domain in the future and establish my own Dao lineage."

Gu Qing got straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding mercenaries fell silent instantly, all staring at Gu Qing in astonishment.

After a while.

Several veterans returning from the front lines couldn't help but roll their eyes, scoffing mercilessly, "Another one overestimating himself. It's fine to think about this in private, but to say it in front of so many people—doesn't he consider others at all?"

What if someone laughs so hard they pee their pants?

"What utterly shameless talk!"

"Not only do they want to create an independent Dao Domain, but they also want to establish a Dao lineage. Do they really think they have the potential to become Immortal Emperors or Dao Ancestors?"

"Alas, ambitions soaring to the heavens, yet fate as fragile as paper."

"Such blatant display of talent and brilliance is destined to end in a short time."

The undisguised voices of the veterans ahead made the newly promoted mercenaries feel uneasy.

Gu Qing looked at those people speechlessly, thinking to himself, "They've been kneeling for so long that they've become numb and callous. And they even like to act as accomplices, dragging others down to be dogs for the Xianmu Group."

"How can I cultivate immortality properly while surrounded by a bunch of insects like you?"

Seeing the nervous and apprehensive expressions on the faces of all the newly recruited mercenaries, Sima Xiao smiled and said, "Gu Qing, a lineage cannot be established so easily."

To create an independent Dao Domain, you must first establish a sixth-grade plane through your own efforts.

Only sixth-rank planes are qualified to support a Dao domain and establish an immortal foundation.

"It would be better to sign a contract with the company first. Once we've accumulated enough strength, we can leave and then try to seize control of the sixth-grade plane."

"Dean, let's stop here."

"My mind is made up. If I cannot attain great freedom and ease through cultivation in this world, then I might as well not cultivate at all!"

Gu Qing shook his head, rejecting Sima Xiao's suggestion.

It's nothing more than a gradual approach, trying to trap themselves little by little within the Xianmu Group.

Re-signing a contract with Xianmu Group will inevitably lead to pitfalls.

The student loan contract I signed back in high school was at least bound by the Immortal Kingdom, leaving ordinary people with a glimmer of hope.

In this kind of situation, you shouldn't give the other person a chance.

On the other hand, when Sima Xiao saw that Gu Qing rejected his proposal again, the smile on his face could no longer be maintained. Sima Xiao pointed to the veterans who had returned from the front line.

"Xiao Che, Guan Lin."

"Come here."

When the two arrived at the front, Sima Xiao pointed at Xiao Che and said, "Xiao Che and Guan Lin were mercenaries in the same batch. Xiao Che's talent is not as good as Guan Lin's, but due to different choices, their achievements are now vastly different."

"Xiao Che, unleash your divine power foundation aura and let everyone see it."

"Yes."

The veteran's mind stirred slightly.

next moment.

Six halos of supernatural light, a mixture of purple, black, and dark colors, shone from beneath his feet.

The surrounding newly recruited mercenaries were instantly in an uproar.

"See that?"

"This is the achievement of receiving the company's full support and training."

"Look at Guan Lin again. He used to be just like you, with lofty ambitions and a desire to establish his own business. But in less than a century, he escaped death several times and transformed himself into this state."

"Think carefully about whether you want to renegotiate the contract."

Seeing the strange looks around him, a hint of savagery flashed deep in Guan Lin's eyes.

He glanced at Guan Lin and Xiao Che.

Gu Qing felt a chill run down her spine; this was a blatant threat.

But what does it matter?

"Dean."

"I've thought it through, and I'm sticking to the original contract."

Gu Qing still remembered that when his cousin Zhang Yubai left the 1086 world, he personally came to his house and specifically reminded him not to change the mercenary contract, otherwise he would be in trouble.

Not far away.

Seeing Gu Qing's stubbornness, the veterans' faces immediately showed gloating. One of them said, "This kid is really tough. I bet he'll be assigned to Guan Lin's team."

"In the last mission, only five people from Guan Lin's team survived."

"How long do you think this kid can live?"

I'd guess a year.

"What have you been thinking about this past year?"

"You think this kid is the perverted Guan Lin? Guan Lin had all sorts of nasty implants in his body just to barely stay alive."

"If the company hadn't needed a negative example, Guan Lin wouldn't have survived at all."

"That kid!"

"I bet he won't live more than six months."

"Six months?"

"You mean, you can't even complete a single mission?"

"Speaking of which, someone who can get the company to offer a billion-dollar interest-free loan must have some merit. I bet he'll live for at least another six months."

"Ha, if this kid can survive half a year in Black Dragon Mountain, he's my dad!!"
