The Primordial World said that Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao's state of mind was unstable. Now, the two of them no longer dared to have the slightest doubt.

But they didn't understand why the Treasure-Dropping Coin couldn't be used often, and their Eldest Senior Brother even advised them not to use it.

Finally, Xiao Sheng directly asked Hong Ze, "Eldest Senior Brother, why can't this Treasure-Dropping Coin be used frequently?"

Hong Ze directly extended a hand towards Xiao Sheng. Xiao Sheng instantly understood and quickly took out the Treasure-Dropping Coin and placed it in Hong Ze's hand.

Hong Ze looked at the Treasure-Dropping Coin in his hand, then placed it on the table and spoke.

"This treasure is called the Treasure-Dropping Coin, but do you know what money is, and why can it drop magical treasures?"

When Hong Ze asked this, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao shook their heads in unison.

"Please enlighten us, Eldest Senior Brother."

"So-called money is a special existence used to purchase items. It just hasn't appeared yet.

However, with the appearance of the Human Race's Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it will become the most tempting existence in this world.

It's just that this money is not easily obtained; it requires effort to acquire.

It is precisely because money can buy everything in the world that it possesses the ability to drop others' magical treasures.

To put it simply, you are using money to buy the other party's magical treasure.

But you haven't given this Treasure-Dropping Coin to the other party, which means you owe them karma.

You should understand what owing karma between cultivators represents, I presume I don't need to explain it further."

After Hong Ze's analysis, Zhao Gongming spoke as if waking from a dream.

"Eldest Senior Brother means that because they used the Treasure-Dropping Coin to drop my Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, they owe me karma.

So, their becoming my disciples is equivalent to indirectly repaying the karma they owe?"

Hong Ze shook his head, "The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is still in your hands, which means this transaction was not completed.

Therefore, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao do not owe you karma. You truly have a master-disciple relationship."

Now, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were completely convinced. With a thud, they knelt directly before Hong Ze.

"Please give us more guidance, Eldest Senior Brother, and help your junior nephews improve their state of mind as soon as possible, lest they fall into the demonic path in the future."

Hong Ze reached out again to help the two of them up and then spoke.

"If you want to cultivate your mind, you can go find your Aunt-Master Yun Xiao. She is more qualified to teach you than I, your Eldest Senior Brother.

However, Eldest Senior Brother can tell you the correct way to use this Treasure-Dropping Coin."

Hong Ze didn't know that the current Zhao Gongming had already comprehended the Law of Tranquility, which was the strongest law for cultivating one's state of mind.

That's why he recommended them to Yun Xiao, who had the most solid state of mind, so that Yun Xiao could help Zhao Gongming teach his disciples.

And Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were naturally full of joy, nodding and asking Hong Ze.

"Eldest Senior Brother, how should this Treasure-Dropping Coin be used to be considered correct?"

Hong Ze waved his hand at Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, telling them to stretch their heads over.

Then Hong Ze whispered a few words into their ears.

Zhao Gongming didn't hear what Hong Ze said, but he saw the expressions on his two disciples' faces, which were already filled with disbelief.

However, Zhao Gongming couldn't ask what Hong Ze had said at that moment, so he could only speak.

"Since your Eldest Senior Brother has told you the correct way to use the Treasure-Dropping Coin, you must keep it firmly in mind."

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao nodded, then bowed and apologized to Hong Ze again.

Hong Ze waved his hand at the two of them, then sat down and drank tea with Zhao Gongming.

Although Zhao Gongming's tea-making skills were incomparable to Hong Ze, the Great Dao Tea Saint, in this Primordial World, it was definitely considered top-tier.

So when Hong Ze drank the tea brewed by Zhao Gongming, a look of approval inevitably appeared on his face.

"I didn't expect Junior Brother Gongming to also have some research into the art of tea. It seems we should drink tea and discuss the Dao more often in the future."

Zhao Gongming smiled and nodded. "Eldest Senior Brother is absolutely right, but there's no rush for this tea drinking and Dao discussion.

These two disciples of mine are visiting Eldest Senior Brother for the first time. Shouldn't Eldest Senior Brother give them one or two meeting gifts?"

Seeing Zhao Gongming asking for gifts for his disciples, it inevitably made Hong Ze feel a little awkward.

If it were about preparing a few small dishes and having a couple of drinks, that would definitely not be difficult for Hong Ze.

But asking him to give away magical treasures made Hong Ze feel a bit stretched.

After all, besides the Water Fire Daoist Robe bestowed upon him by Master Tongtian, he had no other magical treasures by his side.

Helplessly, he could only say, "Junior Brother Gongming is right, but currently, I, your Eldest Senior Brother, don't have any decent magical treasures by my side.

When I see Master in the future, I will definitely ask for a few spiritual treasures that are presentable to give to my two nephews."

Zhao Gongming smiled and shook his head after hearing this. "How can such a small matter trouble Master?

How about this, Eldest Senior Brother, see what you have around you, just take out two things and give them away.

Otherwise, Eldest Senior Brother can write two characters or draw a picture. After all, what we want is just a good omen, whether it's a magical treasure or not isn't important."

After hearing this, Hong Ze looked at his thatched cottage and indeed found nothing presentable.

After all, anything presentable had long been plundered by Holy Mother Gui Ling and the others.

If they weren't coming to Hong Ze's place to freeload on meals, they would probably even take the pots and pans.

So at this time, Hong Ze was truly destitute, absolutely as poor as could be.

Helplessly, he could only sigh and say, "Alright, who told your Eldest Senior Brother to be so poor?

Since your Master has said so, then I, your Eldest Senior Brother, will draw a picture for each of you."

After speaking, he turned around to fetch the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, preparing to draw something for Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao didn't know that none of the paintings Hong Ze drew were simple.

They couldn't help but complain in their hearts about why Zhao Gongming didn't let their Eldest Senior Brother ask their Grandmaster for magical treasures.

But the moment Hong Ze started to draw, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao instantly changed their minds. At the same time, they saw Zhao Gongming's smile of successful scheming.

This couldn't help but make the two exchange glances and secretly give Zhao Gongming a thumbs-up.

With swift strokes, in no time, Hong Ze had finished painting two scrolls.

The one given to Cao Bao was a Rare Treasure Picture. The treasures in the painting were so lifelike that one couldn't help but want to reach out and grab them.

The one given to Xiao Sheng was a Treasure Accumulation Picture. In the painting, treasures were piled mountain-high in a Treasure Accumulation Pot, making one feel greedy upon seeing it.

Although the level of these two scrolls couldn't compare to the Carp Playing with Lotus Picture given to Qiong Xiao, they definitely reached the Acquired Supreme Treasure level.

Zhao Gongming couldn't help but rejoice inwardly and immediately said to Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, "Why aren't you quickly thanking your Eldest Senior Brother?"
