[Taiyi Coin (first edition) Type: conceptual creation Quality: immortals' cast-off husk Mythic trait: universal wish fulfillment (incomplete) Description: A first-edition currency creation formed from the gathered concept of Taiyi Capital, combined with the rules of supreme blessing stolen from the underlying framework of Ganges mythology. Through the concept of exchange, it alters the processes of blessing and ascetic cultivation, directly achieving a degree of wish fulfillment. Wishes can be made through the Taiyi Coin itself.
