# Topmost Transformation #
New terms and phrases flooded the trending searches, and viewers called on their friends to come and witness the epic battle.
There is no shortage of content on live streaming platforms showcasing the martial Immortal Method of cultivators, nor is there a shortage of battle content. Yet, with so much excellent content available, the battle Senju Hashirama and Wan Ruyi still shocked the world!
The reason for this is that the cultivators have been away from the mortal world for a long time, and their thoughts and behaviors are still relatively simple.
It's not that they can't put on a big show, it's just that it's pointless.
Why would I create a grand, spectacular skill to send off an opponent who could be killed with a single punch?
"His True Thousand Hands technique looks magnificent, but it wastes too much Law Power. It's all show and no substance. I don't understand why he would create such a huge giant if he had so much Law Power. Wouldn't it have been easier to win by transforming his Law Power into a celestial sword? The Heavenly Sword Art is also Heaven-grade Divine Ability!"
"Moreover, the goal of us cultivators is to achieve immortality, not to be brave and violent. If you waste so much Divine Ability Power on a flashy but impractical statue, won't your advancement to the Supernatural Power Realm be delayed by a few years?"
Countless cultivators were disappointed and frustrated, countless comments criticized them, and countless Wood Element cultivators stood up to tell everyone that Wood Element is not used like that; we are Spirit Plant Master, Pill Refining Master, and healers.
There has never been a wooden figure sculpted into human form, a wooden doll that raises its fists to fight!
But no amount of criticism could stop the video's likes from skyrocketing, nor could it stop countless ordinary people from leaving their admiration in the comments section.
Many years have passed, and the main users of mobile phones are no longer cultivators, but ordinary people.
They have no idea about cultivating immortality or conserving Law Power.
All they knew was that this move looked really powerful, and that Senju Hashirama, who used it, was really cool!
In just a short while, Hashirama's clothes, shoes, headband, and even the markings on his forehead began to be searched extensively.
Most importantly, the purple necklace around his neck and the purple jade earrings he wore caused a dramatic surge in related searches!
"So he was wearing Purple Heart Jade jewelry?"
"Wearing the Purple Heart Jade hand gesture can increase Law Power and reduce casting time!"
"Wearing the Purple Heart Jade jewelry, you will be the next Senju Hashirama!"
Decryption, answers, muddying the waters, and stirring up trouble—a mix of true and false information spreads online, leaving the general public utterly unable to distinguish between them.
At this moment, almost everyone with money in hand and who yearned for the life of a cultivator had the idea of buying a piece of Purple Heart Jade jewelry.
This is the celebrity effect; in the Taiheng Realm, there are no celebrities, only cultivators.
In the past, the stars among cultivators were Tai Su Yi, Tian Dao Yi, Yuanxi, and Zhan Tai Mingyue.
But at this very moment, the biggest star among cultivators is Senju Hashirama!
With the surge in traffic for Purple Heart Jade, major jewelers began advertising on various platforms and forums.
"Urgently need Purple Heart Jade, 50,000 taels per piece!"
"Urgently need Purple Heart Jade, 60,000 taels per piece!"
"Urgently need Purple Heart Jade, 70,000 taels per piece!"
Jewelry merchants have connections everywhere; they not only advertise on various platforms, but they even advertise on the internal forums of various sects.
This is the internet age; information explodes in real time, so there's no need to wait for the champion to be decided.
At this moment, Zhang Yun from the Taiheng Sect's Artifact Forging Master Association was playing on his phone.
He is the warehouse manager of the Artifact Forging Master Association, responsible for collecting all the refining waste from the entire association and then disposing of it in a unified manner.
The Taiheng Council originally had twenty-four members. Two people surnamed Lin were killed, and two more died during the execution of those two. The remaining twenty members were surnamed Zhang, and Zhang was one of them.
The Zhang family is responsible for the entire sect's work, including the excavation and collection of materials for refining artifacts, the distribution of materials, the classification and distribution of Spirit Materials, and the recycling of waste materials and damaged Spirit Artifacts.
It was essentially the Taiheng Sect Metal Mining Bureau.
This kind of department may not have much power, but it will definitely generate a lot of revenue.
Take Zhang Yun, a mere garbage collector, for example. Many refining artifacts aren't necessarily garbage; they might just be considered garbage because they can't channel Law Power.
This material is trash to cultivators, but in the mortal world it might be an extremely precious metal. If forged into a sword, it might even become a national treasure.
By recycling this garbage, Zhang Yun married more than thirty wives.
He also recently started a business reselling mobile phones.
The engraving of runes on a mobile phone is a very precise task. A slight mistake can ruin the design. However, the problem may not be noticed while the phone is being drawn. Often, the issue is only discovered during testing after the phone has been built.
To ensure quality, Yang Ning established a strict testing, rework, and scrapping mechanism.
But Yang Ning is already dead, so this mechanism is now just a name without substance. These phones may have all sorts of problems, but as long as they can be turned on, make calls, and access the internet, he can still sell them.
After all, there are simply too many people who can't afford 50,000 taels of silver.
"Tsk tsk, that demoness Nana from the Tianfei Palace is too hot-tempered."
"I'm really starting to feel the strain!"
"The person who invented stockings was a genius, and so were these high heels!"
"How come no one has thought of something so simple before!"
He wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, looked at the dancing fairies on his phone screen, and then thought back to his own submissive and obedient wife. Something just didn't feel right.
"Hmm, send an asteroid!" With a casual click, a gift worth 200,000 taels of silver was sent out.
What he received in return was a charming voice from the Tianfei Palace nun. "Thank you for the asteroid, Brother Yun. Brother Yun loves you. heart emoji"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." Zhang Yun touched his nose, feeling so good, so good!
Keep going!
"Ding!" A white notification appeared on the screen.
"Your balance is insufficient, please top up!"
"What?" Zhang Yun was stunned. "No, I have two million taels in balance, how could it not be enough! Deep Blue, are you trying to rip me off?"
"Would you like to see the bill?" Deep Blue asked.
"Hmm, check!" Zhang Yun shouted angrily, "If I find out, you're dead!"
After a long while, looking at the gift-giving records on the screen, Zhang Yun fell silent.
It's a little embarrassing, but it really was my own money.
But this is my livelihood! I was promised a car, how am I going to explain this to my wives when I get back?
Zhang Yun asked in exasperation, "Deep Blue, can I get a refund?"
"You are not a minor and are not eligible for a refund!" Deep Blue replied.
"You!" Zhang Yun's face turned red with anger, but she couldn't do anything about Deep Blue, so she could only continue watching videos in a huff.
"Breaking news! Breaking news! Zhou Jiufu Jewelry Store is buying up Purple Heart Stone for 50,000 taels each! Click the link below the video to purchase!"
"What? Purple Heart Stone?" Zhang Yun was taken aback. "I have plenty in my warehouse!"
The Artifact Forging Master only needs the outer shell; the Purple Heart Stone inside is now just trash.
The problem is that this thing is useless in the mortal world because it is very brittle and easily broken, and it will evaporate over time, disappearing without a trace after being worn for a hundred years or so.
Why would someone suddenly offer such a high price to buy something so useless?
Afraid of missing some information, Zhang Yun quickly opened the comments section.
Before long, he learned the whole story. It turned out that someone from the Great Ming Kingdom had worn this jewelry and achieved good results at the Li Han Grand Assembly, which led to many people imitating it.
The fact that a piece of jade can only be worn for a hundred years is a problem for cultivators, but it's just right for mortals. This means that the jade belongs to only one person for life.
Furthermore, research indicates that Jiang Yun Nation is the only place in the world with Purple Heart Jade, and the total reserves of Purple Heart Jade are limited. This means that Purple Heart Jade jewelry is destined to be the exclusive property of a select few!
"So that's how it is!" Zhang Yun nodded and hurried to the warehouse. After taking inventory, he was somewhat surprised.
There are six hundred thousand of them!
If each one costs 50,000 taels, doesn't that mean it could sell for 30 billion taels?
Just imagining that number made Zhang Yun feel suffocated.
Although silver is of little use to cultivators, if the amount is large enough, even a true immortal would be confused, let alone a cultivator!
"Changed it, changed it immediately!" Zhang Yun clicked the link immediately and then selected customer service.
"Hello, do you really buy Purple Heart Stone?"
"Of course it's true! We run a jewelry store, how could we go back on our word!"
"I have quite a lot of Purple Heart Stone here, can you finish them all?"
"How many?"
Six hundred thousand!
"..." The jewelry store was silent for a moment, then sent a picture of Senju Hashirama with his hands clasped together. "Eat! We've already pre-deposited 30 billion taels in our middle account. You can check it. We'll pay you immediately once you deliver the Purple Heart Stone!"
Shouldn't we check the condition?
The question lingered in Zhang Yun's mind for a moment, then he immediately dismissed it.
If he doesn't check the quality, he'll be the one who loses out. I'd be happy if he didn't check!
Zhang Yun immediately replied, "Alright, then I'll sell this batch of Purple Heart Stone to you. I'll deliver them to you right now!"
"Okay!" the jewelry store owner replied, "You can ship the goods now!"
Zhang Yun immediately took out his phone, opened the sales function, and then pointed it at the Purple Heart Stone in front of him.
This function is actually a miniature Teleportation Formation embedded in the phone, capable of transmitting small items with a volume not exceeding 1 cubic decimeter and a weight not exceeding 30 kilograms.
Individual users are also limited to one use per day.
After all, mobile phones are powered by the Spiritual Qi of nature, so their power output is not high.
Zhang Yun realized the problem after only one transmission. Each piece of Purple Heart Jade is 8 cubic centimeters in size, and 600,000 pieces would be 4,800 cubic decimeters, requiring 4,800 transmissions!
When will this message arrive?
"Boss, I can only transmit a little bit at a time!" Zhang Yun hurriedly replied, afraid that the boss would find it troublesome and leave. "Do you see any other transportation methods?"
"How about this!" the other shopkeeper replied, "Let's sign an agreement, with Imperial Heaven, Queen Earth as our witnesses. I'll buy your 600,000 Purple Heart Stone for 30 billion silver taels. I just contacted Flying Boat, but he can't come for another week. Where are you located?"
"Taiheng Sect!"
"Oh, a disciple of a major sect, that's even better!" The shopkeeper continued, "Imperial Heaven, Queen Earth bear witness, 30 billion for 600,000 Purple Heart Stone, delivery in a week, no problem, right?"
"No problem!" Zhang Yun nodded frantically. Three hundred billion! How many wives could that buy? How many times could the demoness from the Tianfei Palace call me "brother"?
Bah! I have 30 billion! Why is she still calling me "brother"? She should be calling me "husband"!
"Furthermore, we need to sign a supplementary agreement!" the boss added. "If you don't sell me 600,000 Purple Heart Stone by then, you'll have to pay me 30 billion!"
"Okay!" Zhang Yun remained calm, after all, I really do have 600,000 Purple Heart Stone.
After some discussion, the two signed an agreement.
Looking at the electronic version of the rather formal contract, Zhang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
Three hundred billion in seven days!
I'm going to be rich!
Zhang Yun excitedly danced around for a while, then took out her phone again.
He wanted to share the good news with Nana!
Zhang Yun always felt that there was no love between him and his dozens of wives, but he fell in love at first sight with Nana, the demon from the Tianfei Palace.
Perhaps this is what love truly looks like!
But she was at the Supernatural Power Realm, while he was only at the Qi Refining First Level. The gap between them was too great. He only dared to send gifts in the live stream and didn't dare to say a single word to her!
But now, he has 30 billion!
Although it was just silver coins, not Spirit Stone, it was enough to make Nana look at her in a new light!
Zhang Yun casually swiped his phone, about to exit, when he suddenly heard a familiar word again.
"Sanqi Jewelry is buying Purple Heart Stone for 60,000 taels of silver each!"
"Um?"
Zhang Yun thought he had misheard, so he quickly stepped back, and then he was sure that he hadn't misheard.
They just wrote the price on the phone!
"Damn it!" Zhang Yun quickly pulled up the electronic contract again, and immediately couldn't hold back anymore.
I sell them for 50,000 each, how come the price jumped to 60,000 after just one video?
He immediately regretted it, but the contract was already signed, and he couldn't afford the penalty for breach of contract.
So, let's just pretend this contract never existed?
But he used the name of Zhang Yun from the Taiheng Sect. He didn't care about losing face himself, but if he disgraced the Zhang Family, he might be reduced to ashes!
"Wait!" Zhang Yun suddenly remembered something.
We said delivery would be in Heavenly Queen, not now!
If someone offers 60,000, then someone else might offer 70,000, or even 80,000!
If the price of this thing rises above 120,000, I can earn more than 30 billion!
The thought made Zhang Yun furious. "How the hell did I even sign the contract?!"
When it came to making money, Zhang Yun's mind immediately became sharp. He instantly realized that the Taiheng Sect than just 600,000 Purple Heart Stone.
This is just the warehouse he's guarding; the Taiheng Sect has other warehouses too!
Suppose, and I mean suppose, there's someone who doesn't use a phone, and I exchange my Purple Heart Stone for his Purple Heart Stone.
So, he's the one who made 30 billion by selling Purple Heart Stone for 50,000 each, while I have Purple Heart Jade that I can sell for 36 billion, or even 42 billion or 48 billion without a buyer yet!
Those from the same clan won't do; guarding the warehouse is a cushy job, and with nothing to do, they'll definitely be playing on their phones, and they certainly won't miss this overwhelming barrage of advertisements.
The outer sect elders should also have a large number of Purple Heart Stone, but they are not very old and probably use mobile phones too.
That is, the Heavenly Craft Department, who was in charge of constructing all kinds of buildings, has grown old!
They have a large quantity of Purple Heart Stone, and they are elderly and don't use mobile phones!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yun immediately got up and headed to the Heavenly Craft Department!
He was unaware that he had inexplicably entered into an activity called futures trading.
This activity is not gambling, but it's even better than gambling.
Once you've experienced that crazy feeling of making money, you'll never be able to stop!
