After saying this, Master Qing Jing handed over the book in his hand. Fang Jian took it and looked at it. Sure enough, there was a detailed image of the scales of a ten thousand year old fire dragon on it, and underneath it was written: "Ten thousand year old fire dragon scales, worth seven thousand merits."

"Okay, then those nine will be 63,000 merits, and I still need 37,000 merits." Fang Jian said as he took out all the cultivator treasures he had obtained in previous battles and verified their value one by one on the price list of the Four Heavenly Streets.

In the end, when all the merits are added together, there are almost 160,000 merits.

Then, Master Qing Jing packed up the nine fire dragon scales and all the treasures and put them away. Fang Jian looked at this and asked doubtfully, "You should return me 6,000 merits, right?"

Master Qing Jing smiled and said, "You can't break the treasure into pieces and discuss the price. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has always been like this when it comes to handing in merit and using treasures to offset it. If there is less, you have to make up for it, and if there is more, there is no refund."

Fang Jian spat out a mouthful of blood in his heart. Just as he was about to argue, he heard Master Qing Jing say, "All these treasures and merits must be sent to the Taixuan Province for accounting. The merits will then be returned to the Grand Envoy's Jade Code and Golden Seal Merit Book, and the treasures will be sent to the Tiangong Academy for confiscation."

Fang Jian spat out another mouthful of blood in his heart. There was no way to argue now. Everything would be confiscated anyway. If you, Fang Jian, want to cause trouble, just go to Taixuan Bureau or Taixuandusheng.

Fang Jian took the payment talisman from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and walked out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate somewhat depressed. At this moment, he seemed to understand why Master Qing Jing was so happy, because watching others being taken advantage of was indeed a very happy thing.

Especially, the victim is Fang Jian, so he can get six thousand merits and sixty strands of Taoist energy.

Add to that the 100,000 merits that were confiscated...it's such a huge loss. Alas, Song Lao Hu was right: young people shouldn't be too impulsive.

Now it seems to be a golden saying!

After leaving the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Fang Jian composed himself, returned to the Tianfa Court, handed in the payment talisman to Abbot Xun Kuang, and then returned to his own Fangcun Residence.

He was also punished to face the wall and reflect on his mistakes in the Heavenly Court for a month. That was perfect, he could use this month to advance to the level of Taiyi Xuanxian!
