Afterward, Bo Huang personally went to the Shores of the East Sea and arrived at the Human Race territory. The current leader of the Human Race was still Sui Ren Shi from back then.
Bo Huang beckoned to Sui Ren Shi and asked, "Has the Human Race cultivated the Golden Core Great Dao left by the Human Teaching's leader? Have any experts emerged?"
Sui Ren Shi scratched his head and replied, "There are those who cultivate it, but the technique doesn't seem very suitable for the Human Race. Not many have achieved Heavenly Immortal status."
Bo Huang scratched his head and grumbled inwardly, Senior Uncle Master, your Human Teaching leader is a bit unreliable... He only taught one technique, and it's a bad one. If I weren't worried about Fu Xi not being a good Heavenly Emperor, I would have taught them everything I should.
With that thought, Bo Huang said, "Let me show you something. This is something I, your Saint Master, invented: Merit Coin. I don't like seeing your cultivation stagnate, so I created this. The Human Race lacks Merit, but in a hundred years, Merit can be exchanged for Spiritual Treasures and techniques. I'll take you there personally."
Afterward, Bo Huang personally went to the West Sea and asked Ao Run to take him to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, also giving him an invitation to the Great Desolation Bank's opening.
Within the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, the Great Crown Prince Ao Yue looked at Bo Huang and asked, "What brings you here?"
Bo Huang replied, "I accidentally saved a Dragon Soul and have brought it home." As he spoke, he summoned the Ancestor Dragon Dragon Soul from the beginner's gift package and said, "This matter is of great importance. Before arriving at the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, I could only hide the Dragon Soul within the Chaos Bell. I hope you can understand."
To explain, when Bo Huang was at Mount Kunlun, during a period of seclusion, he accidentally broke the egg of the Ancestor Dragon Dragon Soul, causing it to hatch.
Ao Yue was overjoyed to see the Ancestor Dragon Dragon Soul reborn and bowed deeply to Bo Huang, saying, "Thank you."
Bo Huang shook his head and said, "No need for thanks. I hope the Dragon Race and the Demon Race can be good friends in the future. By the way, Ancestor Dragon, please do not revive directly. In the future, I will plan some Merit for you to offset the Dragon Race's karma."
Ancestor Dragon nodded and agreed. After Bo Huang settled the Ancestor Dragon Dragon Soul, he departed. On the way, Bo Huang mentally asked the System, "Why didn't you make the Ancestor Dragon Dragon Soul loyal to me? Do I have to win over the Dragon Race's hearts bit by bit like this?"
The System only replied, "Is a forcibly subdued Ancestor Dragon still the Ancestor Dragon?"
Bo Huang scratched his head and thought, That's true. An Ancestor Dragon subdued by force would be half-crippled... It's better to maintain cooperation like this.
After completing these matters, Bo Huang returned to the Heavenly Court to quietly await the bank's opening.
The other great powers also received the news. On Shangqing Peak, Duobao silently complained, "As expected of a son-in-law, he sure knows how to stir things up. He's not cultivating the Merit he should be, and instead is dabbling in the Dao of Commerce. How petty."
In the Jade Purity Palace, the Twelve Golden Immortals had thoughts similar to Duobao's. They felt that researching the Dao of Commerce was not something a celestial being would do.
However, in the Taiqing Palace, Lao Zi greatly admired the matter. He thought about how difficult it was to trade medicinal herbs normally. Bartering always led to disputes about having too much or too little. If everything were converted into Merit Coin transactions, it seemed quite good. After all, as a Saint, Lao Zi was not lacking in Merit.
Deep within the Sea of Blood, Minghe's eyes lit up as he looked at the coins given by Kunpeng. "You said Spiritual Treasures can be exchanged, right? Any amount is acceptable?"
Kunpeng shook his head and said, "Exchanging a small amount is fine. But if you want to exchange for enough Merit to become a Saint, even our Heavenly Court cannot afford it. However, according to the Crown Prince's plan in the jade slip, with large transaction volumes in the future and accumulated Merit, a few Saints should be able to be created. Will you be coming in a hundred years?"
Minghe replied, "I, Ancestor Minghe, have always been united and friendly with all beings in the Great Desolation. I will naturally attend such a major event beneficial to the Great Desolation. Demon Master, you can rest assured."
Kunpeng nodded and returned to report. Meanwhile, there were also setbacks. Bai Ze was rebuffed by the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West did not give Bai Ze a good reception and directly stated, "No. Tai Yi destroyed the Immortal Court back then, and my relationship with the Heavenly Court is not good. I will not participate."
Bai Ze left helplessly and returned to the Heavenly Court to report. In the Lingxiao Hall of the Heavenly Court, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi listened to Bai Ze's report and said, "Big Brother, shall I go and sweep through West Kunlun, seize the Queen Mother of the West's treasures?"
Di Jun replied, "It's fine, it's fine. If the Queen Mother of the West is unwilling to interact with our Heavenly Court, so be it. Bo Huang's bank does not lack her endorsement."
Bo Huang also said proudly, "When all beings in the Great Desolation trade with Merit Coin in the future, let's see what she does, humph."
Tai Yi scratched his head and said, "Nephew, it doesn't seem to have much impact on the Queen Mother of the West. West Kunlun is full of immortals; they won't starve even if they don't trade..."
Zhenyuanzi chimed in, "Moreover, the West Kunlun Secret Realm also has Immortal Peaches and Yellow Middle Plums, which are good things..."
Upon hearing this, Bo Huang's expression changed, and he said seriously, "Second Uncle, how much karma would I incur by seizing West Kunlun? Do you think my Merit Divine Wheel is enough to withstand it?"
