Chapter 54, Merit Coin

Chapter 54: Chapter 54, Merit Coin

Tongtian examined the coins, somewhat surprised he said: "Treasure Money?!"

Bai Jin promptly nodded and immediately praised: "Master, your discerning eyes miss nothing.

This coin is indeed made from Treasure Money. I’ve named it Merit Money. After refining, it can be stored within the Primordial Spirit to protect the Primordial Spirit, and it can also be taken out for use."

"How to use it?"

"It can be used to refine Merit Treasures, absorb for Enlightenment, expel karma, and even directly absorb to enhance cultivation."

Tongtian laughed and said: "Isn’t that just Merit?"

Bai Jin immediately said: "But it quantifies Merit!"

"Merit quantification?"

"In the past when discussing a person’s merit, most would say he has little merit, he has a lot of merit, or even infinite merit, but it was difficult to measure exactly how much. Now with Merit Coins, everyone’s merit can be quantified, and it can even be used for trade."

"How to trade?"

"Master, think about it! When there were no Merit Coins, I had an Acquired Spiritual Treasure that was of no use to me, but it would be a pity to discard it. What should I do then?"

"You could bestow it upon a disciple."

"I don’t have a disciple."

"You will have one in the future."

"What if the disciple doesn’t want it either?"

Tongtian raised his eyebrows and exclaimed: "How dare they!"

Bai Jin was speechless, Master, you’re arguing for the sake of arguing.

"Why did you stop talking?"

Bai Jin took a deep breath and said: "Master, you are right, your disciple has nothing to say."

"Hmm!" Tongtian nodded in satisfaction and said: "Continue."

"If, I mean if my disciple also doesn’t need this Spiritual Treasure.

I don’t want this Acquired Spiritual Treasure anymore, but someone else does! Then they could use Merit Coins to trade with me, they get the Spiritual Treasure, and I get the Merit Coins. After getting these Merit Coins, I can use them myself or exchange them with others for what I need."

Tongtian, deep in thought, said: "The preciousness of Merit, no one would despise, thus it also possesses a universal value for trade."

Bai Jin exclaimed: "Master, you are truly brilliant."

"Hehe~" Tongtian chuckled, then solemnly said: "Bai Jin, if you can really promote Merit Coins throughout the Primordial World, your Tao will be established."

Bai Jin murmured: "My Tao?"

Tongtian nodded, a look of gratification flashed in his eyes as he watched Bai Jin, not expecting him to have advanced beyond many before, already starting to practice his own Tao.

Excitement flickered in Bai Jin’s eyes, he immediately excitedly called out: "Master, I’m going to promote Merit Coins right away."

Tongtian shook his head and said: "No rush!"

Bai Jin, puzzled, asked: "Why?"

Tongtian said leisurely: "Wait until the conflicted Heaven and Earth have reached an outcome, that’s the right time for you to promote Merit Coins."

The mention of the end of conflicts in Heaven and Earth immediately brought to Bai Jin’s mind one thing - the battle between witches and demons.

Tongtian asked: "Anything else?"

"Yes! Master, please take a closer look at the pattern on the coins." Bai Jin hurriedly said.

Before Tongtian, he had recognized the essence of the Merit Coins, but had not paid attention to the designs on the coins. Now, reminded by Bai Jin, he took a close look and exclaimed in surprise, "Zixiao Palace!"

Bai Jin nodded awkwardly and then asked expectantly, "Master, can these be used?"

Tongtian appraised Bai Jin and praised, "Bai Jin, you did well!"

Bai Jin showed a smile and happily said, "Thank you for the praise, Master."

"You’re still alive, you’re really lucky!"

Bai Jin’s smile stiffened on his face. Still alive and lucky? Swallowing a gulp of saliva, he stammered, "Mas... Master, don’t scare me. I’m very timid."

"Timid and you dare use the Zixiao Palace?" Tongtian said strangely.

Bai Jin turned over and knelt on the steps, wailing loudly, "Master, save me! Disciple does not want to die!

Because in my heart, the Zixiao Palace is the supreme Holy Land, that’s why disciple used it, never meant to infringe on Master’s rights! Moreover, I made only one, which I gave to you, Master, this coin is a token of disciple’s respect."

Tongtian watched Bai Jin speechlessly, am I to take the blame for him? He said irritably, "Get up! What does all this weeping and wailing look like? Don’t act like those female disciples of your Nuwa Shishu."

Bai Jin immediately got up from the ground, looking pitifully at Tongtian and said, "Master, you also have female disciples."

"My female disciples are all heroes."

Fine! They’re all heroes, and I’m the trash.

Tongtian said in a gentler tone, "Since you’re still alive, it means the Taoist Ancestor has tacitly approved your actions, so in the future, you can only use the Zixiao Palace on your coins, change the design and you might as well wait to die!"

Bai Jin felt relieved, hurriedly bowed deeply towards the sky, and respectfully said, "Disciple Bai Jin thanks Master for his magnanimous grace, rest assured Master, I will definitely promote your Zixiao Palace throughout the Primordial World." His attitude could not be more eager.

"Anything else?"

Bai Jin bowed three times towards the sky, straightened up and solemnly said, "Master, disciple wants to inquire about Nuwa Niangniang."

"Go find your Eldest Uncle."

Bai Jin was stunned, what? Find Eldest Uncle?

Tongtian seemed displeased and said, "Now go!"

"Alright~ I’m off, farewell Master." Bai Jin immediately turned and ran outside.

Tongtian thought to himself with some annoyance, you’re asking me? I don’t even know who to ask. Who knows what Nuwa is thinking now? When women play their mysterious games, men are completely out of the loop.

Bai Jin ran out of the palace, only to see Duobao, Wudang Saint Mother, and Golden Spirit Saint Mother waiting outside.

Bai Jin waved his hand and cheerfully called out, "Elder brother, elder sister, junior sister, good morning!"

Wudang Saint Mother nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Junior brother, are you here to pay respects?"

Pay respects? Right! I must not forget about Second Master.

Bai Jin nodded and said, "Yes! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Master, I miss him deeply."

Duobao glanced at Bai Jin, the epitome of shameless flattery, disgusted, he flung his sleeve and strode towards the Shangqing Palace.

Wudang Saint Mother smiled and followed.

Golden Spirit Saint Mother approached Bai Jin and quietly asked, "Elder brother, does Master becoming a saint have anything to do with you?"

Bai Jin immediately shook his head and said admiringly, "Not at all, it’s all Master and my uncles’ idea, which deeply impresses me!"

"Jin Ling~" A displeased voice called out from ahead.

Jin Ling playfully stuck out her tongue and quickly caught up.

Bai Jin rode a cloud towards Yuqing Palace and, landing in front of Yuqing Palace, bowed and said, "Disciple seeks an audience with Uncle Master!"

The palace gate creaked open, and Bai He Child appeared in the gate, winking and laughing, said, "Elder brother, the master invites you in."
