Chapter 135

In the room.

Jiang Ding appeared while holding the meters-high and wide giant stone; the moment he touched the floor, internal power surged out from under his feet, forming a plane to disperse the massive gravity to the entire floor of the room as much as possible.

"I am in great danger now!"

Jiang Ding looked left and right; the bustling streets and busy traffic did not make him feel at ease as usual.

Taiqing Divine Iron!

This is something that would make high-tier cultivators go crazy; if a Golden Core cultivator passed by and discovered it through spiritual sense scanning, he would definitely snatch it without hesitation, and no law could withstand it.

This is something that can forge the foundation of the Great Dao; breaking through realms and extending one's life by hundreds or thousands of years is a matter of course.

It is not that Immortal Sect cultivators are morally corrupt; only moral saints could possibly resist this kind of heaven-shaking temptation!

Xiu!

A pale blue sword shadow flew out from his sleeve and into his pocket; when it came out again, there was a mobile phone on the sword surface, and subtle sword Qi slid across the touchscreen to unlock the phone.

He flipped to the library app and found the emergency alarm button.

This is a button that citizens can only press when encountering life-threatening situations, and it can communicate directly with the Central Formation Spirit Computer.

Pressing it indiscriminately carries legal responsibility; in serious cases, it is possible to go to jail for several years and have this function banned for life.

"Ding!"

"You are reporting to the Central Formation Spirit Computer on the grounds of encountering life-threatening danger. Please wait. This function is only allowed for citizens to use in emergency situations where life is threatened; otherwise, you will violate..."

"Alarm successful."

In less than half a second, the Central Formation Spirit Computer connection was successful. Jiang Ding could clearly feel a scanning force surge in from the window, enter the room, and scan all suspicious items nearby.

This was not because his perception was sensitive enough to detect Soul Transformation-level scanning, but because the Central Formation Spirit Computer did so intentionally, informing him that after the application, the formation spirit monitoring area had extended from public areas to private areas.

"……The citizen is not in life-threatening danger."

After a careful scan, the Central Formation Spirit Computer issued a judgment.

"……According to the Immortal Sect Law, citizen 5227... 89, Jiang Ding, falsely reported a life-threatening alarm. The evidence is conclusive. It is recommended to sentence him to three years in prison. As a minor... sentence him to eighteen months in prison... With the college entrance examination approaching, he can choose to serve the sentence after the examination."

"If there is no objection, this recommendation will be delivered to the Rongcheng Court."

"If there is an objection, please state the reasons and apply for an administrative reconsideration."

The formation spirit's mechanical and cold judgment would not change due to any subjective conditions.

Jiang Ding was not surprised; a high moral character score would indeed attract more attention from the Central Formation Spirit Computer, but this was not a reason for breaking the law, and there would be no cover-up; everything operated within the program logic set by the sages.

"Apply to re-scan the ore in my hand; keywords: Taiqing Divine Iron, murder for treasure."

Jiang Ding said in a deep voice.

In his heart, he actually felt a hint of anxiety.

He fully trusted the Central Formation Spirit Computer, but Soul Transformation cultivators have heaven-defying means; it is difficult to judge whether any ambitious Soul Transformation cultivator with heavy selfish motives has invaded the Central Formation Spirit Computer database over these thousands of years.

"……Application passed; searching with Taiqing Divine Iron and murder for treasure..."

"Supreme soul treasure discovered—Taiqing Divine Iron ore!"

Taiqing Divine Iron naturally possesses high concealment; many cultivators cannot recognize it even when facing it for many years.

"Alarm!"

"This object has high chaotic properties; please ensure Soul Transformation-level or higher concealment; otherwise, it may trigger a huge social riot and pose a huge danger to your life!"

"……There are no Foundation Establishment cultivators within a one-kilometer radius, no Golden Core cultivators within a ten-kilometer radius, no Nascent Soul cultivators within a hundred-mile radius, and no Qi Condensation cultivators within a hundred-meter radius... Please do not take the Taiqing Divine Iron ore out of this area..."

These distances are the spiritual sense limits of most cultivators.

"Reconsideration application passed; no illegal phenomenon."

Jiang Ding breathed a sigh of relief.

If there were no Central Formation Spirit Computer, he would be unable to process or utilize the Taiqing Divine Iron ore; with the supreme treasure in front of him, it would be useless.

"I wish to exchange a portion of the Taiqing Divine Iron ore for Breaking-Law Immortal Gold, several Tier 5 Soul Transformation-level auxiliary spiritual ore materials, and have a Nascent Soul-level Tier 4 artifact refining master forge a sword embryo for me, while ensuring absolute secrecy. I wonder if you can provide relevant suggestions?"

Jiang Ding asked tentatively.

This was actually white-pimping the computing power of the Central Formation Spirit Computer.

"Ding!"

After a full ten minutes, the Central Formation Spirit Computer spoke again; one can imagine how vast the data involved in this deduction was.

"Preliminary calculation: the Taiqing Divine Iron ore weighs... After refining, one can obtain... Taiqing Divine Iron. The optimal ratio for refining the Great Sun Sword Embryo with Taiqing Divine Iron is... The remainder can be exchanged for Breaking-Law Immortal Gold and sixty-six types of Tier 5 natural and synthetic spiritual ores."

Eighteen liang.

Jiang Ding took a light breath.

This is eighteen times the Taiqing Divine Iron of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion's Sword Child during its peak.

The effect will definitely exceed it!

"Suggestion 1: Trade with the Central Formation Spirit Computer and entrust it with the refining of the sword embryo. Pros: Extremely low danger, probability close to 0."

"Cons: Cannot obtain a premium; Taiqing Divine Iron ore is a supreme soul treasure and naturally possesses huge premium characteristics."

"Note: The Central Formation Spirit Computer is the most excellent Soul Transformation-level artifact refiner in the surrounding realms for refining magic treasure embryo; it once refined a Tier 6 Void Treasure—Five Elements Dharma Ring embryo for a Void Refinement power of the Five Elements Heaven Sect, which is one of the treaties of the alliance between the Immortal Sect and the Five Elements Heaven Sect."

"Suggestion 2: Exchange with the Immortal Sect Soul Transformation cultivator, the contemporary executive, 'Yuan'. The Immortal Sect executive is a moral model; since taking over the Immortal Sect as executive, he has established brilliant battle merits. During his administration, the Immortal Sect destroyed the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, allied with the Five Elements Heaven Sect, and officially became one of the hegemon-level forces in the surrounding realms. Danger level: relatively low."

"Pros: Can obtain a significant premium; the resources and treasures exchanged can exceed those of the Central Formation Spirit Computer by at least three times, and the Immortal Sect executive holds a vast number of Immortal Sect library points, which can also be used to entrust the Central Formation Spirit Computer to refine the embryo."

Jiang Ding nodded as well.

The moral quality of the Immortal Sect executive 'Yuan' is recognized within the Immortal Sect and is indeed trustworthy.

"Suggestion 3: Exchange with the Immortal Sect spirit beast, the Tier 5 spirit beast stationed in Sichuan Province, the black and white panda, Hua Lingling. Hua Lingling's personality is relatively simple and kind, extremely friendly to humans. Since over eight thousand years ago, she has experienced humble survival under the rule of the Blood Cloud Sect together with the Immortal Sect, struggled to rise, and gone through various major decisive battles of the Immortal Sect, with brilliant battle merits."

"Danger level: medium; her personality is relatively simple and she is overly trusting of Immortal Sect citizens."

"Pros: Can exchange for about three times the premium; can also entrust the Central Formation Spirit Computer to perform the refining."

"Suggestion 4..."

There are eighteen suggestions in total; the first eight are for trading with Soul Transformation-level powerhouses, and the latter are for trading with top powerhouses among Nascent Soul cultivators.

The danger level also varies from relatively low to extremely high, especially when facing some Nascent Soul cultivators who are stuck in bottlenecks and nearing the limit of their lifespan; "extremely high" is not enough to describe the danger of facing them.

As for the premium, the highest is with the Immortal Sect executive and a few Soul Transformation ancestors like the Hua ancestor, who have such assets—a three-fold premium.

This is a three-fold premium for the top supreme soul treasure; many entire minor realms, including people and cultivation resources, might not be able to gather this much if sold!

"I choose to trade with the Central Formation Spirit Computer!"

Jiang Ding said in a deep voice.

A three-fold premium is indeed tempting; this is a vast amount of resources that would be more than enough for him to cultivate to the peak of Nascent Soul, but these things are not worth mentioning in the face of his and his family's safety.

Even if it is just a small probability gap between relatively low and close to 0.

Do not test the conscience of a cultivator, even if they are indeed close to a saint.

In addition, judging from the Central Formation Spirit Computer's desire for Taiqing Divine Iron, this object has a great promoting effect on its growth, which is something Jiang Ding is very happy to see and facilitate.

Human emotions are always swaying and fluctuating, unreliable.

Only by relying on the Central Formation Spirit Computer forged by the sages will the Immortal Sect be so prosperous and continue to prosper, and even the vast number of ordinary people and low-tier cultivators will have a happy and stable life, not bleeding for thousands of miles because of the anger of a high-tier cultivator.

This is a good thing for everyone.

Even Soul Transformation cultivators were small cultivators with lower cultivation than others before they grew up, and there is a possibility of being surpassed by others thereafter.

Abusing the great power of high-tier cultivators and indulging the selfishness and darkness in one's heart will only result in a lose-lose situation.

"Transaction successful."

"Please wait; seven minutes and forty-two seconds later, a Soul Transformation-level stealth unmanned ship will arrive over Rongcheng to receive the Taiqing Divine Iron ore."

"The sword embryo is expected to be completed in one month."
