(In the previous Chapter, the exchange rate between Spirit Coins and Blue Star Coins was changed to 1:1000.)

The level of Divinity Transformation Great Power was too far from Su Yuan, and he merely considered it before focusing on the pressing reality at hand.

These ten thousand Spirit Coins, should they be spent or not?

Or rather, is spending an equivalent of ten million Blue Star Coins to increase the likelihood of passing the Immortal Official System worth it?

It was certainly worth it, especially for the direct lineage cultivated by the Cultivation Clan; these ten thousand Spirit Coins were a fixed expense.

For Su Yuan, however, this information was even more crucial.

On a smaller scale, it concerned the success or failure of this undercover mission; on a larger scale, it could even affect the balance between Blue Star and the Celestial Law World.

It must be bought!

The problem was, even if the money for purchasing the information could be reimbursed by the organization, Su Youlin did not have enough Spirit Coins on him!

His savings of one thousand nine hundred Spirit Coins, even with all his valuable possessions mortgaged, were far from the ten thousand needed.

Not only Su Yuan, but other Ascenders from the Cold Plum World faced the same plight.

No one could guarantee they would certainly pass the Immortal Official Examination. It’s said that more preparation means more chances.

Yet the reality was, out of more than twenty Ascenders from the Cold Plum World, only two gritted their teeth and took out ten thousand Spirit Coins to buy the information.

The information dealer handed each of them a Jade Token. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Amidst envious gazes from the surroundings, the two placed the Jade Token on their foreheads, whereupon the token flashed, and the information flooded into their minds.

Subsequently, the token’s luster quickly dimmed, eventually shattering with a snap.

"Only two buyers from the Cold Plum World? Is this the purchasing power of cultivators from the Great World?"

The information dealer was not pleased with the sales and his tone carried a hint of provocation.

An awkward silence followed, and just as this person shook his head in disappointment, preparing to find another buyer, Su Yuan spoke:

"The information, I want a copy."

At these words, everyone from the Cold Plum World turned to look at Su Yuan, their eyes filled with surprise.

After all, in their eyes, Su Yuan should be a pauper. Where did the ten thousand Spirit Coins come from?

Su Yuan maintained Su Youlin’s aloof demeanor, disdainful of offering an explanation, waiting only for the information dealer to speak.

The latter paused, his spirits lifted, and with a flip of his hand produced a Jade Token, while the other hand gestured for payment.

Su Yuan reached into his wide sleeve, soon fetching a bag of heavy Spirit Coins.

The information dealer accepted the Spirit Coins and counted them, the number was exact, exactly ten thousand.

It was just that he couldn’t shake the feeling that the bag of Spirit Coins looked familiar.

However, he didn’t dwell on it, and after storing the Spirit Coins, he handed over the information Jade Token to Su Yuan.

The transaction ended perfectly, and Su Yuan calmly watched the other leave, while inwardly overjoyed.

Because none of the ten thousand Spirit Coins belonged to him.

Just now, when he reached into his sleeve, he was indeed taking money, but from the Tribulation Moon Pearl he drew out Dragon Emperor Coins.

He used the compulsory transaction ability of the Dragon Emperor Coins to take from the information dealer the ten thousand Spirit Coins he had just acquired, then returned them to him.

As for whether to repay the ten thousand Spirit Coins drawn using Dragon Emperor Coins?

Didn’t I just repay it?

You say I bought a Jade Token with these ten thousand Spirit Coins, isn’t that repayment?

Sorry, this transaction isn’t under the notarization of Dragon Emperor Coins, it doesn’t count as an official transaction effect, so it’s simply a repayment action.

Very reasonable, isn’t it?

Su Yuan praised himself as a sly fox for finding such a loophole.

However, such methods couldn’t be used all the time.

It’s fine to use it to penalize unscrupulous merchants, but not to exploit the innocent.

Moreover, the Immortal Official System, no matter how corrupt, would surely be highly efficient in probing large unexplained incomes, using it too much would attract investigation.

And typically, using the Dragon Emperor Coins also raised another issue—there’s a probability of catching the attention of the golden divine eye above.

The Saint Law Celestial Monarch and the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable should know each other, presumably they’re also familiar with the Dragon Emperor Coins.

But fortunately, the mask crafted by the Thousand-Faced Celestial Monarch not only conceals the wearer’s aura, but also the aura of the Magical Treasure used, as long as it doesn’t leave the wearer’s immediate vicinity.

Moreover, the golden divine eye is, after all, merely a projection of the Saint Law Celestial Monarch’s sight, not at the same level as facing someone at the Divinity Transformation level directly, hence Su Yuan wasn’t afraid of being discovered.

The facts proved his judgment correct.

[Congratulations to the host for violating the Holy Law Governance Council’s rules in the presence of the Saint Law Demon Monarch. Your daring ability is rare in the world, surviving purely thanks to a tough life.]

[Task Progress: Rule Violation (2/100)]

Su Yuan rolled his eyes but said nothing.

Because given this criterion, he would soon complete the task.

He raised his hand, pressing the Jade Token to his forehead, as a not-too-long piece of information emerged in his mind.

Yet within these brief words lay a vast amount of information.

For this thing outright leaked all the questions of the Immortal Official Examination.

The Immortal Official Examination is divided into three stages: the written test, Celestial Examination, and the interview.

Starting with the written test, it consisted of three questions, and the first one already left Su Yuan somewhat baffled.

The question was as follows:

[Material One: Yangxi Town is the poorest township under Jinyang County, where locals can barely pay taxes and young people flee en masse.

Material Two: Recently, the Jinyang County Monarch has been in seclusion, aiming to break through the Golden Core Realm. Success would provide Jinyang County the opportunity to compete for the governance of the county, attracting many medium and small sects and caravans to settle in advance.
