Desk Five Treasures

"Ding..."

A crisp and drawn-out chime echoed through the sky, as large swathes of copper coins rained down, like a shower of golden money, falling to the ground with a series of clear, ringing sounds.

After countless copper coins fell to the ground, they slowly dissipated into nothingness. The barrier surrounding the Nether Acacia Ghost Tomb had long since disappeared, and the yin energy began to rapidly diminish, replaced by a burst of vitality, with spiritual energy surging like a flood.

In the blink of an eye, scattered patches of green emerged throughout the Nether Acacia Ghost Tomb. In another blink, that hint of green transformed into ripples, sweeping outwards. In just a breath or two, the Nether Acacia Ghost Tomb completely shed its gloomy atmosphere, transforming into a vibrant, plant-covered mountainous region.

Even the hillocks in the desolate burial grounds became lush and verdant, with saplings springing up from the ground, transforming into towering trees tens of meters high in just a few breaths.

As the rain of copper coins dissipated, a golden copper coin floated in mid-air, growing larger and larger until it became a hundred-zhang-sized golden coin, inscribed with the ancient characters for Good Fortune and Treasure. Its golden light seemed even more dazzling than the scorching sun.

From the square hole in the center, spiritual light overflowed, transforming into ripples. A middle-aged man, adorned with gold and silver, a Bao Yu hanging from his waist, and four gemstone rings on his fingers, emerged with a protruding belly and a beaming smile, his nouveau riche aura soaring to the heavens...

"Money paves the way, Good Fortune and Treasure abounds!" Treasurer Qian's face lit up with surprise, and he stopped his fleeing figure, rubbing his hands gleefully. "I didn't expect the Great Shopkeeper to come out of seclusion and arrive in person!"

The Great Shopkeeper cultivated the Cosmos One Qi Great Art, which, like doing business, emphasized both input and output. To absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, one had to be willing to give back to heaven and earth in order to progress rapidly and stabilize one's realm. The rain of golden coins was a secret technique of the Cosmos One Qi, scattering money to buy spiritual energy, creating fortune and nurturing vitality. Naturally, he wouldn't let go of a dead place like the Nether Acacia Ghost Tomb.

"Hahaha, I, this old man, was willing to part with a Good Fortune and Treasure coin to cross the void. I didn't expect the Spirit Platform Saintess to be willing to use eight dragon horses and the Five-Colored Seven-Fragrance Carriage, and the Profound Heaven Great Elder to even enlist the Kun Demon King to personally escort her. My respects, my respects." The nouveau riche-esque fatty stood in the air, laughing heartily. The Good Fortune and Treasure coin behind him shattered into dust with his words.

This Good Fortune and Treasure ancient coin treasure could only be used once...

Even for the wealthy Ten Thousand Eternity Commerce, it couldn't be used lightly unless it was a matter of utmost urgency.

"Treasurer Jin is generous and naturally willing to part with it. I don't have this treasure, so I can only use flattering words to trouble the Kun Demon King to stretch his muscles."

His person was unseen, only his voice was heard, coming like a thunderous roar. Then, in the dark curtain of the sky, a point of light flashed three times in mid-air before arriving at the Nether Acacia Ghost Tomb. The light dissipated, and an old man in black robes, with white hair and a face like a baby, appeared out of thin air.

At this moment, the torn sky slowly closed, and everything returned to calm.

"With the emergence of the Purple Firmament Dao Lord's tomb, we naturally dare not neglect it. We only came here to observe for a moment and realized that the rumors were false. This place is probably not the Purple Firmament Dao Lord's tomb, but a contingency plan left by the Purple Firmament Dao Lord, specifically for selecting a successor." From within the Seven Fragrance Carriage, a soft, clear voice, like the tinkling of a spring, flowed out.

Upon hearing this, Treasurer Jin and the Great Elder were both startled, their eyes flashing with divine light, like the scorching sun, as they looked towards the Abyss.

After a moment, Treasurer Jin sighed, "Miscalculation, miscalculation. I've long heard that the Spirit Platform Saintess is amazingly talented, a genius. Since her birth, the Spirit Platform Holy Sect has never selected another Saintess. I didn't expect her to have such keen eyes, seeing so clearly, even seeing through it before the two of us."

"Indeed, this is just a place to select a successor, but it's not without its rewards." The Profound Heaven Holy Sect Great Elder stroked his beard and nodded, but there wasn't much disappointment on his face. "When the Purple Firmament Dao Lord passed away, it was too rushed, and he didn't have time to set up many contingencies. The entrance to this place is formed from a Secret Treasure, and the interior must be a Secret Realm. The legendary Purple Firmament Dao Scripture fragments must also be inside. If we work together, we should be able to forcibly break through."

"The Great Elder is right." Treasurer Jin was the first to nod in agreement.

"He's right." The Spirit Platform Saintess also echoed.

Instantly, divine light surged. Within the Seven Fragrance Carriage, colorful clouds transformed into a rainbow, plunging into the Abyss.

Treasurer Jin's eyes widened, transforming into two golden copper coin phantoms. The phantoms burst from his eyes, their light dazzling, transforming into half-black, half-white copper coins, plunging into the Abyss.

The Great Elder reached out and grabbed, and the void in front of him rippled, transforming into an boundless starry sky. A large hand, as if to crush the formation, followed the methods of the two in front of him, falling into the Abyss together.

The three of them shouted in unison, and the dark Abyss erupted with divine light, like ripples, surging towards the sky.

"This Secret Treasure is extraordinary, actually transforming into a Secret Realm entrance, connected to the Secret Realm, able to borrow the power of the entire Secret Realm. Everyone, exert your strength together!" A roar echoed in the sky, and the light in the Abyss deepened, with spiritual light gushing out.

The scattered fluctuations alone instantly turned the Ghost City in front into dust. The One Line Sky, which had been eroded by water for countless years, disappeared silently. Mountains crumbled, and water flowed backwards.

Xu Shen, Bai Yunfei, Treasurer Qian, and the many joyful ghosts, who had retreated far away, were still sent flying by the scattered fluctuations.

Half of the Nether Acacia Ghost Tomb, spanning hundreds of miles, was reduced to ashes, and the earth was easily leveled. The Nether Acacia Ghost Tomb, which had already developed to have three-tenths of the mysteries of a Secret Realm, was completely reduced to its original state at this moment...

The joyful ghosts, sent flying, twitched at the corners of their mouths in mid-air, but didn't dare to say a word. They just looked at the foot-high black acacia tree held in their palms and sighed quietly...

On the Abyss side, the earth had been peeled away layer by layer, leaving only the circular Abyss. After the stone fragments dissipated, a hundred-zhang-tall wooden barrel, with an ancient appearance and simple patterns, stood in the center of the large pit.

"This Secret Treasure is actually... a Penholder?" Treasurer Jin was very surprised to see this penholder.

"That makes sense. This Penholder has an abundance of upright energy, is ancient and restrained, and all evils cannot enter. It is probably one of the Desk Five Treasures of some great power in ancient times. Using this as an entrance, demons, evil spirits, and ghosts naturally cannot enter. Those who can enter are all people who meet the criteria for being selected as successors," Great Elder stroked his beard and nodded, a hint of realization on his face.

"The two of you, after subduing this Penholder Secret Treasure, could you let me have it? I will compensate you with other items," Spirit Platform Saintess suddenly said.

"Sure." Just a penholder, although it is an ancient Secret Treasure, it is naturally not as precious as the things inside the Secret Realm. The two did not compete and readily agreed.

Entering the palace? That doesn't exist. When I started writing this book, there were two beginnings, and there was also a first-rank forced king. I also knew that posting a first-rank forced king would get better results than this, but I still posted this. Maybe I had a brain cramp... By the way, please ask for collections and recommendation tickets, mwah.
