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

Chapter 202 Falling into a Trap

Gu Qing, He Lou, and Nangong Zhuo arrived at the Immortal Book Pavilion.

Whether it's the true transmission of teachings or various immortal techniques, the authenticity of the content and the rate of duplication must be checked before registering copyrights or patents.

Take alchemy-based Taoist techniques as an example.

Different alchemy techniques will be examined based on their sub-techniques, such as alchemy formulas, fire control techniques, and spiritual fusion techniques. The degree of duplication and the efficiency of improvement of these techniques will be checked.

If the duplication rate exceeds 80%, it will be judged as plagiarism.

The three arrived at the main hall of the Immortal Book Pavilion for registration.

In front of the main hall, there are rows of registration windows, arranged similarly to the government service windows in Gu Qing's previous life, with a huge display screen above the windows.

This was Gu Qing's first visit to the Immortal Book Pavilion.

Looking ahead, I noticed the display screen above the window lit up with red or green alerts.

If marked in green, it passes the plagiarism detection.

Then the next step of inspection can be carried out, and a simulated benchmark test can be conducted on the submitted immortal cultivation methods or techniques to estimate their potential value.

The item marked in red means it failed the plagiarism check. It's either plagiarism or the technical approach overlaps with someone else's, resulting in an immediate failure.

"Hey you, it's not too late to regret it now."

"I advise you to have some self-awareness."

Gu Qing and Nangong Zhuo were in two adjacent queues. Just as they were about to reach the service window, Nangong Zhuo mocked again.

You should keep those words to yourself!

"Furthermore, surrendering means losing half the stakes."

"You can surrender now by simply kneeling down and admitting your mistake."

Gu Qing raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly.

"snort."

"You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin, He Lou. You asked for this yourself."

Nangong Zhuo didn't come to the Immortal Book Pavilion for fun this time.

He came here to register a newly completed Earth-grade Immortal Dao technique.

That's why he agreed to the bet without any fear.

soon.

The three of them arrived at the service window of the Immortal Book Pavilion.

The salesperson sitting in front asked, "What kind of service do you need? To register the copyright for the True Dharma, or to register the Immortal Dao techniques?"

"Each registration costs 1 Spirit Coins."

"Registration fees will not be refunded regardless of whether the registration is successful or not."

"Forehead----"

Gu Qing was speechless upon hearing this. It really was typical of the Immortal Kingdom; they were damn greedy for money.

but.

On second thought, it makes sense.

Registering various copyrights in my previous life also involved fees, let alone in a celestial kingdom distorted by capitalism.

"gentlemen?"

What did you register for?

Seeing Gu Qing's blank expression, the salesperson sitting in front asked again.

"Register for the true transmission of the Dharma."

As Gu Qing finished speaking, he added, "It is a true inheritance of the Dharma that was plundered from another dimension."

"Yes, I understand."

"Sir, please take out the jade slips of inheritance you have collected for a duplicate check."

"Ding ding ding————"

Gu Qing nodded, then took out hundreds of inheritance jade slips from his storage ring. The jade slips collided with the service counter, making a series of crisp sounds.

Looking at the piles of jade slips for inheritance on the counter, the salesperson in charge of copyright registration froze in mid-air, his eyes glazed over, and he even stopped breathing.

"Damn it!"

"So they were mercenaries, and they even plundered so many inheritance jade slips?"

At the service window next to him, Nangong Zhuo kept a close eye on Gu and He out of the corner of his eye.

Upon seeing Gu Qing pull out so many inheritance jade slips, Nangong Zhuo's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"gentlemen."

"Are you sure all of these inherited jade slips need to be registered?"

"The cost isn't low—"

"The Taixu Dharma Seal has received 5.37 million spirit coins."

Before the salesperson could finish speaking, Gu Qing transferred more than five million spirit coins from the Taixu Dharma Seal.

"hiss!"

Seeing Gu Qing's arrogance, the onlookers who had just followed couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Holy crap.

"Are mercenaries really that rich?"

"This person is not simple."

"This is going to be interesting. I wonder who will win?"

In the minds of the surrounding cultivators, mercenaries were all desperate criminals. If they had money, they would either use it to modify their bodies and bloodlines to increase their strength, or to indulge in sensual pleasures and instant gratification.

No mercenary would ever spend five million spirit coins to register a copyright patent at the Immortal Book Pavilion.

The surrounding cultivators' discussions grew louder and louder, and Nangong Zhuo suddenly sensed something was wrong; cold sweat gradually seeped onto his forehead.

soon.

Both of them have entered the plagiarism check stage.

The salesperson randomly selected a jade slip from Gu Qing's pile of inheritance jade slips and placed it into a spirit slot.

next moment.

A series of fluorescent lights shone on the jade slip, and the contents of the jade slip were deciphered.

A series of prompts appeared on the display screen above Gu Qing's head.

Cultivation Technique Name: Azure Wood Undying Body Cultivation Technique Rank: Profound Grade Three True Technique Cultivation Technique Duplicate Check Result: This cultivation technique is highly similar to the Azure Wood Undying Body that Li Changsheng registered thousands of years ago, with an overlap of 90%.

Judgment: The copyright registration of the true method failed. The cultivation method originated from plunder from another dimension. Registered cultivators can purchase the right to use the cultivation method at a 50% discount.

As the last line of text fell, the display screen above Gu Qing's head turned a striking crimson red.

Upon seeing the three characters "Li Changsheng," Gu Qing's expression became somewhat strained.

Holy crap.

The patriarch tricked me.

Gu Qing thought for a moment, then selected a Grade 1 True Method from the Jade Slip and handed it to the salesperson.

"Register this inheritance jade slip first."

"OK."

next moment.

The screen above the business window refreshes its information again.

Technique Name: Nine Abyss Spirit Devouring Technique

Cultivation Technique Rank: Earth Grade 5 True Technique. Cultivation Technique Duplicate Check Result: This cultivation technique is highly similar to the Nine Nether Soul Devouring Technique registered by Li Changsheng thousands of years ago, with an overlap rate of 85%.

Judgment Result: Zhenfa Copyright Registration Failed —

Registration for two consecutive exercises failed.

He Lou stared at the striking red on the display panel, his face gradually turning pale.

On the other hand, Nangong Zhuo's anxious mood finally eased.

Gu Qing's confident demeanor and the large number of inheritance jade slips he had just produced nearly scared him to death.

Now it seems that this person was just as incompetent as everyone else.

Looking at the display screen above Gu Qing's head, which repeatedly flashed a red light indicating registration failure, Nangong Zhuo provocatively said, "Is this the genius I'll have to look up to from now on?"

"Ha, nothing special."

"What you brought back are all outdated techniques registered thousands of years ago, tsk tsk tsk————"

"Hey you—you didn't go to another dimension to plunder, you went to raid tombs, didn't you?"

'

"Hahaha!!"

As soon as Nangong Zhuo finished speaking, the surrounding onlookers burst into laughter.

"interesting."

"I can't believe I saw something so funny today."

"What do you call this? This is like a frog in a well, arrogant and ignorant, isn't that right?"

"This kid is quite the comedian."

Hearing the mocking voices around him, He Lou couldn't help but whisper, "Old Gu, there's something wrong with your true cultivation techniques. Were you scammed?"

"Old He, don't panic."

"If plundering the true teachings won't work, we still have our self-developed technology."

Gu Qing remained expressionless and offered words of comfort.

"Developed in-house?"
