Treasure Dropping Coin

Ao Guang's head poked out from behind Bai Jin, he sized up the Big Red Robe Mother Tree, then slumped dejectedly and said, "What's the use of being precious? There are more precious things here! But they can't help us get out!

It's not me saying this, don't you know to scout unfamiliar places? You just barged in, are you an idiot?! Now look, we're all stuck here.

Don't blame me either! I just asked you to save me, not to come in."

Bai Jin continued to look around, absentmindedly saying, "No need to scout, I recognize this space. This is the Innate Undying Space where Innate Spiritual Treasures are nurtured. There must be Innate Spiritual Treasures inside."

Ao Guang looked at Bai Jin in surprise and said, "You actually recognize the Innate Undying Space."

Bai Jin chuckled and said, "Didn't you just call me senior? Seniors naturally know more."

Ao Guang gave a sheepish laugh. Calling him senior was just to get him to save him, not because he actually thought he was his senior.

Bai Jin comforted him, "Even if you can't claim the Innate Spiritual Treasure in the Innate Undying Space, there's no danger. Just cultivate peacefully, and you'll be able to get out someday."

Ao Guang said with a bitter face, "No! Who knows how long we'll have to wait for the owner of this Innate Spiritual Treasure to arrive? A few hundred years? Or a few thousand years? Or even tens of thousands of years."

"Then tell me where the Innate Spiritual Treasure is."

Ao Guang was stunned and immediately shook his head, "I don't know!"

Bai Jin looked at him, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Ao Guang wailed, "I really don't know! I accidentally ran in here while being chased by them. I know nothing about this Innate Undying Space."

Bai Jin turned his head, looking around as he asked, "You're a true dragon, why were they chasing you?"

Ao Guang's face darkened, and he fell silent.

Bai Jin glanced at him and asked, "Can't you say?"

Ao Guang let out a long sigh and said melancholically, "It's nothing I can't say. The Demon Race is forcing us to make a choice."

"Choose what?"

"The Demon Race wants to force our Dragon Race to either join the Demon Race's Heavenly Court to attack the Wu Clan, or be attacked by the Demon Race."

Bai Jin frowned, "The Dragon Race has the Azure Dragon Saint Venerable, how dare they?"

Ao Guang said dejectedly, "The Azure Dragon Saint Venerable is stationed at the eastern extreme of the heavens, guarding the Great Desolation, and cannot act without permission."

Bai Jin looked around the area, his gaze finally returning to the Big Red Robe Mother Tree. He stared at it for a long time, then extended his hand, and an Immortal Sword appeared before him.

Ao Guang looked at the Immortal Sword and exclaimed in surprise, "Innate Spiritual Treasure!" His eyes sparkled, and he was almost drooling.

Innate Spiritual Treasures were extremely precious to any power, even as the Crown Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace, he didn't have a single Innate Spiritual Treasure to protect him. He would only get one when he became the Dragon King, but becoming the Dragon King wasn't that easy, that old geezer lived too long.

Bai Jin flicked the Qingming Sword with his finger. Ding~ The Qingming Sword shot out, heading towards the Big Red Robe Mother Tree, leaving a trail of clear light in the air.

Clang~ A resonant sound echoed in the space. The Big Red Robe Mother Tree was enveloped by a light barrier. Inside the barrier, a rain of copper coins poured down. The Qingming Sword struck the barrier, unable to advance.

Ao Guang cried out ecstatically, "Innate Spiritual Treasure~" He quickly flew forward, hugging the light barrier and gazing enraptured at the falling copper coins within.

Bai Jin also showed a look of joy. This was it. The Treasure Dropping Coin had indeed been nurtured to completion. This was his main goal for coming to Mount Wuyi. This Innate Spiritual Treasure, which could disarm others of their magic treasures, was something Bai Jin had decided to obtain from the first day he transmigrated.

Bai Jin flew to the front of the light barrier, beckoned with his hand, and the Qingming Sword spun in the air, rapidly shrinking into a stream of light that shot into his sleeve.

Ao Guang hugged the light barrier and murmured excitedly, "Treasure, my good treasure, come to Uncle."

Bai Jin tapped Ao Guang on the forehead.

"Ouch~" Ao Guang cried out in pain, quickly covering his head and turning to look at Bai Jin resentfully.

Bai Jin stared at him and said, "Mine!"

Ao Guang pouted, about to argue, when he saw the cold glint flashing from Bai Jin's sleeve. His excited passion turned to ice. He pitifully retreated step by step, tears welling up as he looked at the treasure that should have been his.

This scene, however, made Bai Jin feel a little embarrassed, as if he were bullying someone.

Bai Jin stood to the side with his arms crossed and said, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. State its name, break the innate defense, and I can give you a chance to claim it."

Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, battle-axes, hooks, forks, seals, zithers, tripods, banners, pearls, paper, brushes, paintings, pikes, scythes, spears, clubs, whips, daggers, hammers, claws, crutches, meteor hammers, those with rims, those with blades, those with reins, those with chains, those with hooked teeth, those with crescent blades. Instantly, a list of weapons poured out, and then Ao Guang looked expectantly at the light barrier.

Bai Jin looked at Ao Guang in surprise. This kid was well-prepared!

Ao Guang scratched his head and said unwillingly, "Why are they all wrong?" He subconsciously looked at Bai Jin.

Bai Jin smiled and said, "Treasure Dropping Coin."

The innate defense shattered with a whoosh. The rain of falling gold coins also disappeared, leaving only a single gold coin with wings floating above the Big Red Robe Mother Tree.

Ao Guang immediately cried out excitedly, "I remember, I remember! Treasure Dropping Coin, yes, it's Treasure Dropping Coin! That's what I wanted to say."

Bai Jin looked at Ao Guang speechlessly, "You're from the Dragon Race, not a slippery snake. Have some dignity, won't you?"

"I've changed my name to Slippery Snake now," Ao Guang shouted joyfully and immediately rushed towards the Treasure Dropping Coin.

Bai Jin reached out and grabbed Ao Guang by the back of his neck. No matter how Ao Guang struggled or kicked, his body remained motionless.

Bai Jin flung him backward. Ao Guang cried out in surprise and flew backward, crashing into the stone wall with a loud bang, his eyes rolling back.

Bai Jin flew forward, arrived before the Treasure Dropping Coin, and grasped it in his hand. A golden coin with wings immediately appeared in his mind, along with a question: Why money?

Bai Jin's mind replied, "Trade. Money is the medium of exchange between living beings. Now there is no money, but in the future, the world will be filled with money."

Buzz~ The Treasure Dropping Coin in Bai Jin's hand shone brightly and merged into his body. The various functions of the Treasure Dropping Coin also appeared in his mind.

Bai Jin was dazed for a moment before snapping back to reality, his expression very grim. The joy of obtaining the Innate Spiritual Treasure had largely vanished. It was tasteless to eat and regrettable to discard.

Money is trade, and the Treasure Dropping Coin is also trade. The Treasure Dropping Coin causing others to drop their magic treasures is actually a process of buying and selling. He paid with his luck and merit to buy the other party's magic treasure. No wonder Xiao Sheng, after using the Treasure Dropping Coin to make Zhao Gongming drop the Sea-Calming Pearl during the Battle of the Investiture of the Gods, also perished soon after. That was because his luck had been exhausted.

After the Treasure Dropping Coin fell into Randeng's hands, Randeng never used it even once. He probably also knew the price of using the Treasure Dropping Coin and dared not use it.
