Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

Jiang Lu had never expected that in a world where the spirit of cultivating immortals was so prevalent, there would be no fighting and quarreling, but rather it was so peaceful and socialized. It was simply terrifying.

From the sir, Jiang Lu and his companions learned that all the immortal cultivators on this continent believed in the Three Pure Ones and were completely subject to the jurisdiction of the Three Pure Ones Temple.

Although it is called a Taoist temple, in fact the Sanqing Temple here has fully developed into an organization of court nature, with rules and regulations covering every detail, and various positions are clearly classified and detailed.

Tianting, also known as Xiao Sanqing Temple.

In this way, this world is actually a Taoist mythological world with a complete context and heritage.

"You are so young, why don't you do something else? You are taking shortcuts like this, and I'm afraid you will never be able to form a pill in this lifetime!"

Inside the interrogation room, the middle-aged law enforcement officer slammed the table, looking quite disappointed.

Opposite him, of course, was Jiang Lu, who was curled up into a ball.

No wonder the law enforcement officer was so harsh on him and even interrogated him alone.

This is because after the law enforcement officer played the prisoner's dilemma, during the mutual accusation phase, everyone pointed the finger at Jiang Lu, which made the latter's false accusation against the smaller Huang Xiu'e seem a little pale and powerless.

Therefore, in the eyes of the law enforcement officers, Jiang Lu was portrayed as a mentally ill young man who was irresponsible and instigated others to commit crimes.

"I haven't established my foundation yet, it's too early to talk about forming the elixir, brother."

"Have you absolutely no sense of shame?"

The law enforcement officers were furious.

"I really don't know what's wrong with young people nowadays. They are all so uneducated and unskilled. How can they survive in this society without any skills?"

He flipped through the photos of several people taken when they entered the detention center:
"This one is quite serious and looks like an honest man. I don't know how you deceived him. Has this other bald guy ever committed a crime before?

Oh, and this.

Look at this, do you think you are worthy of this girl? She is so beautiful, and she is at the ninth level of Qi training. Logically speaking, at this age, she would be a top student in a famous university. Even if she doesn't practice, she would be more than enough to be a star in the mortal world. But she followed you, and you took her to gamble. You... Sigh."

Hearing this, Jiang Lu shook his head: "The ninth level of Qi training is considered a top student? Then your level is not high."

"What words, what words is this?"

The law enforcement officer was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but soon he thought of something and asked in a serious tone:

"But now I am really doubting your identity. I can't hear any sense of belonging in your words. Forget about it, if you think about it carefully, you said at the beginning that you didn't know the rules here, right?
I said, you are not a foreign force, right? "

"Have all the foreign forces come? You're quite cool." Jiang Lu couldn't hold back: "Can you tell me first, how do you define foreign forces?"

"It extends to Fangzhu Mountain in the east, Kunlun Mountain in the west, the South China Sea in the south, and Mandi in the north."

The law enforcement officer made a big circle:

"Everything within this is within the borders of the Three Purities, and everything outside this is naturally considered outside the borders."

Jiang Lu nodded to show that he understood, and then explained: "Then we are not outside the country. We have just never left the village where we were born, so we don't know the rules."

"So where exactly are you from?"

"A small village near Mount Gaishi, with no name."

The law enforcement officer of Gaishi Mountain had obviously heard of this place. He was a little surprised and asked, "It's thousands of miles away from Nanjiang City. Did you walk all the way here?"

"Yes."

It all depends on legs, but they are Huang Xiu'e's legs.

The law enforcement officer's expression instantly became very exciting, with some admiration, but more of a kind of regret that made Jiang Lu confused.

But Jiang Lu soon understood why the law enforcement officer had that expression.

"Did you come to Nanjiang City specifically to gamble?" he asked.

"I already told you that we didn't know that that counted as gambling and it's illegal!" Jiang Lu knocked on the table weakly.

"Then what's the reason for doing this?" the law enforcement officer asked, "It can't be to experience the local customs and culture, right?"

"Instead of experiencing the local customs and culture, why not go to a foot massage parlor?" Jiang Lu whispered.

"What did you say?!"

"Oh no, I mean, there is indeed a reason for this."

Jiang Lu thought that this world was a unified society with a sound legal system, which was relatively stable, and no one would deliberately hide their cultivation matters, so he simply told the truth:

"The four of us are preparing to build a foundation and want to find some materials, but since we have no money, we want to try our luck by gambling on stones.

Sir, you really have to believe me, we really don't want to gamble, we just treat this as a scratch card, you know what I mean?"

"Based on what you said, I really believe that you don't understand anything."

The law enforcement officer looked at Jiang Lu as if he was a fool:

"Don't you have to spend money to buy the stones when gambling on them? And the stones that can be mined are usually picked up by others as soon as they are dug out. Do you think you have a chance to find a bargain when the stones are left in front of you?
Isn't this a clear IQ tax? It's amazing that you could come up with this idea."

Jiang Lu didn't like to hear this.

You can insult me, but you can't insult my intelligence!
What is IQ tax? Do you look like someone who would suffer that kind of loss?

I'm pretty smart, okay!
"Sir, your words are a bit unprofessional. I said modestly that it was just a matter of luck, but do you really think I was just taking a chance?"

Jiang Lu replied dissatisfiedly.

"Oh?" The law enforcement officer laughed. "From what you said, do you have any other tricks?"

"It's more than just a trick, haha." Jiang Lu leaned back slightly, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and acted like a boss. "I won 20 times out of 10 bets, and I always won. I've never lost. My friends in the martial arts world look up to me and call me a gambling monster!"

The law enforcement officer narrowed his eyes: "Are you finally admitting that you are a habitual offender?"

"I'm just pretending." Jiang Lu raised his hands and instantly became obedient.

"Haha, don't be nervous." The law enforcement officer soothed him, "To be honest, even if you say you are a habitual criminal, I don't actually believe it. How can a habitual criminal be as pure as you?"

After saying this, he smiled and shook his head, which made Jiang Lu feel great irony.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, can we leave now?"

"Don't worry." The law enforcement officer waved his hand. Facing Jiang Lu's doubts, he hesitated for a moment.

"Answer me a question honestly. You said that you are sure that you can get something out of the gambling stone with your strength without relying on luck. Is that true?"

"Uh, don't try. I'm scared."

"Be serious, I'm asking you seriously, can you do it?"

Jiang Lu always felt something was wrong when watching the law enforcement officer's performance. His intuition told him that what was waiting for him was not a bad thing.

So he nodded slowly: "Yes."

"Okay." After receiving a positive answer, the law enforcement officer untied Jiang Lu's handcuffs without saying a word: "Come with me."

Then he took Jiang Lu out of the interrogation room and brought him to a completely enclosed room without windows.

And in the room, there were stones all over that looked very similar to the gambling stones that he had seen at the gambling stone stall before, filling the entire room.

"These can't all be them." Jiang Lu looked at the law enforcement officer in surprise.

"Yes, these are the gambling stones we seized."

The law enforcement officer answered Jiang Lu's doubts directly without any beating around the bush:
"I brought you here mainly to verify your ability."

"No. What's the point of verifying this?" Jiang Lu felt a little puzzled.

Could it be that this law enforcement officer with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him is actually a swindler, doing some shameful things in private?

Perhaps seeing the suspicion in Jiang Lu's eyes, the law enforcement officer patted him on the shoulder and said, "Although I don't know what bad things you are thinking, it is definitely not what you think. But I need to see your performance before deciding whether to tell you what is going on."

"It looks like there's no room for negotiation." Jiang Lu looked at the door that had been tightly closed after they came in. "It seems like if I don't show off my skills, I won't be able to leave this cell today?"

"Why are you speaking so harshly? Even if you insist on speaking in jargon, let's take a step back. This is a police station, not a cell!"

"Okay, then I'll show you what I can do."

Jiang Lu was pushing the issue, but he was calm like an older artist: "Tell me, how do you want to try it?"

"You wait."

After the law enforcement officer finished speaking, he walked into the pile of gambling stones and picked out three of the most ordinary black stones, which had no special features at all, as if they were watermelons. It was impossible to tell what they were without cutting them open.

They are no different from ordinary stones.

In terms of appearance, it is far less fooling than those colored stones. It is the kind of stone that everyone would take a second look at if it were thrown into a mine.

Looking at the three plain stones, Jiang Lu took a deep breath and said, "Then I will show you how ugly I am!"

After saying that, he directly activated the Eye of Prescience, wanting to see the moment when these stones were opened.

These gambling stones are not Schrödinger's cat. Before turning on the device, you don't know whether the cat inside is alive or dead. The substances contained in the gambling stones are lifeless and will not change due to external objects. They are what they are. This is why Jiang Lu thought of using the Eye of Precognition as a substitute for the Eye of X-ray Vision.

People may see changes in the distant future due to certain changes, but gambling on stones will not, so you can safely and freely extend the future you see until the day they are opened.

While Jiang Lu was concentrating on using the Eye of Prescience to investigate the situation in the gambling stone, he was unaware that everything in the secret room was being broadcasted in real time.

In a meeting room of the Law Enforcement Bureau, a special team to crack down on gambling stone scams was watching Jiang Lu's every move closely.

"How can a mere acquired martial artist, not even a cultivator, have such ability?" someone questioned.

Upon hearing this, someone immediately spoke up for Jiang Lu:
"Xiao Chen, what you said is not very polite. Gambling on stones is a miscellaneous subject and has nothing to do with cultivation. According to what you said, if you want to rely on cultivation to see through objects, it must be something that only Yuanying-level masters can do. If we only consider whether we can do it, aren't we who are not Yuanying-level the same as him in essence?
Besides, when we cultivate immortality, we must first cultivate ourselves, and we must be realistic. You cannot make subjective assumptions and accuse others of something. Speaking with facts is a sign of maturity. You still need to make more progress."

The man quickly admitted his mistake: "The team leader is teaching me that I am superficial."

At this moment, Jiang Lu had already seen the future of the first stone.

"There's nothing inside." Jiang Lu's voice in front of the camera could also be transmitted to the conference room.

The special team leader who was sitting in the first seat and helping Jiang Lu said, "Let Xiao Zhang open it and take a look."

The law enforcement officer beside Jiang Lu heard the instructions and opened the gambling stone box in front of Jiang Lu and all the leaders in the conference room.

Sure enough there was nothing.

"There really is nothing here, just an ordinary piece of stone." The team leader nodded with a smile: "This young man has something."

"Team leader, what if he is just guessing blindly? After all, it is common to get nothing out of gambling on stones. In fact, let alone there are only three stones now, even if there are ten stones and he guesses nothing for all of them, there is still a high probability that he will guess right." Someone suddenly said.

"Don't jump to conclusions." The team leader said, "Let's see what he says later. If he really says nothing like you said, that's fine. We can add it. As far as I know, there are still some real things in these gambling stones. If it's really a guess, it won't escape our eyes."

"Great idea, team leader!"

However, Jiang Lu's subsequent performance directly avoided any further trouble.

When he saw the second stone, he said, "There is green in it. It must contain emerald."

"Oh? Are you so sure?" The team leader couldn't help but admire Jiang Lu's confidence: "Let Xiao Zhang open it and take a look."

When I opened the gambling stone, it turned out to be a jadeite the size of a palm.

"See, he really has some skills." said the team leader.

But some people still expressed doubt: "Team leader, I'm not trying to argue, but the colored parts of this stone are all near the surface. He looked at it for a long time. Maybe he secretly scraped off the outer layer of the surface and said that because he was lucky enough to see the green part. We can't see it clearly through the camera."

"Well, what you said makes some sense. Let's see what he has to say in the end."

But when it came to this last gambling stone, Jiang Lu was also in a dilemma.

Because no matter how the future seen by the Eye of Prescience is extended, this gambling stone has never been opened.

In the future he saw without his participation, the gambling stone was just polished into something like a rolling pin, and no one knew what it was used for.

Jiang Lu found this very strange. Does a rolling pin need to be sharpened with a stone?

Just when Jiang Lu was almost exhausted and his brain was about to explode with pain, he finally saw the day when the rolling pin was taken home by a woman.

As soon as she got home, the woman couldn't wait to close the door and start doing this and that with the rolling pin.

At the same time, he was still mumbling: "Ah, I didn't expect that there was a drop of phoenix blood in this inconspicuous stone. Ah, my academic qualifications are about to melt." (End of this chapter)
