Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 93 Falling Treasure Coins (Third Update)

In the deep valleys of Wuyi Mountain, beneath ancient banyan trees, the sounds of Taoism have ceased.

The great battle that had lasted for three thousand years finally came to a slow end.

Ma Yuan slowly opened his eyes, which had been closed for three thousand years.

Within those deep eyes, it seemed as if countless threads of cause and effect were constantly arising and ceasing.

Ultimately, everything returned to normalcy, without revealing a trace.

Before him, the dark blue cage formed by the God of Cause and Effect remained as stable as Mount Tai.

However, the Golden Bat Boy, which was originally full of arrogance and resistance, was now dim and weak.

The origin of the Dao of Transaction within its body was ultimately outmatched by the vast and boundless Dao of Cause and Effect, and was completely suppressed and subdued!
"good."

Ma Yuan uttered a single word softly.

He did not choose to completely erase the consciousness of this innate spirit.

He knew that this thing was a manifestation of the Great Dao. If he forcibly erased its spirituality, he could obtain its body but lose its spirit, which would be a waste of a precious resource.

He simply used the harmonious principles of cause and effect to wash away the unruliness and chaos inherent in his original nature, preserving only the purest trace of his spirituality.

After doing all this, Ma Yuancai had a thought and slowly withdrew the Hand of Cause and Effect that had suppressed this place for three thousand years.

As the cage dissipated, the small body of the Golden Bat Boy trapped inside trembled violently!
With a soft "thump," it transformed into an ancient copper coin, round on the outside and square on the inside, with a pair of lifelike golden bat wings growing on its back!
The front of the item is engraved with the four characters "天地乾坤" (Heaven and Earth, Heaven and Earth), while the back is engraved with the four characters "招财进宝" (Bringing in Wealth and Treasure), implying the endless flow of fortune and wealth in the path of trade.

On the copper coin, light flowed and a Taoist aura arose spontaneously.

It circled in the air, showing no intention of escaping, but instead slowly flew towards Ma Yuan's location.

Finally, it obediently floated above Ma Yuan's palm, emanating a peculiar aura of intimacy and submission.

Lost money!

Looking at the innate treasure that had finally revealed its true form, Ma Yuan's usually calm face showed a genuine smile.

After tens of thousands of years of searching, my wish has finally been fulfilled!
He reached out and gently held the warm, smooth copper coin in his palm.

Without any hindrance, he easily imprinted a wisp of his primordial spirit into the core of the copper coin's origin.

From then on, this supreme treasure, which was enough to make the entire prehistoric world envious, finally found its rightful owner.

Ma Yuan immersed his divine sense into it, carefully comprehending the various mysteries of this treasure.

"The Way of Trading is indeed infinitely useful."

He secretly admired him.

The core power of this Treasure-Dropping Coin lies in its supreme divine might, capable of scattering all the magical treasures in the world.

However, its essence is not simply restraint.

Rather, it is a more fundamental form of "transaction".

In exchange for one's own strength, one temporarily severs the connection between the other party's treasure and its owner.

The profoundness of this path, and even the Great Dao of Cause and Effect that he cultivates, have many points that can corroborate each other.

For Ma Yuan, the gains from these three thousand years of clashes of the Great Dao far exceeded simply subduing a rare treasure.

Through constant collisions and verifications with the Great Dao of Transaction, his understanding and control of his own Great Dao of Cause and Effect also rose with the tide, becoming increasingly skillful and powerful.

He could even sense that his already solidified mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal realm had taken another small step forward.

"As expected..."

Feeling the Daoist aura emanating from the Treasure-Dropping Coin in his hand, a hint of understanding flashed in Ma Yuan's deep eyes.

"Although this Treasure-Dropping Coin can dredge up all the magical treasures in the world, it is not without its price."

Through the spiritual connection established with this treasure, Ma Yuan finally fully understood its true method of use. To activate this treasure, one must pay a corresponding price.

And the price to pay is one's own luck!
The higher the grade of a magic weapon and the stronger the owner's cultivation, the greater the amount of luck required to take it away!
If one's own luck is insufficient, yet one forcibly activates this treasure to send down a supreme treasure far exceeding one's own capacity.

The consequence is that one's luck is instantly drained, and from then on, one is plagued by misfortune and can never recover!

"I am a rogue cultivator, without sect, clan, or lineage, though I possess some merit."

However, compared to those powerful beings who ruled over great sects and commanded countless races, his own fortune ultimately paled in comparison.

Ma Yuan's mind was clear.

"Although the power of merit can be transformed into one's own fortune at crucial moments, thereby activating this treasure."

"Although the merits I've accumulated over the years seem considerable, if I were to use them to acquire top-tier innate spiritual treasures, I'm afraid they would be exhausted after only a few uses."

Legend has it that Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, two rogue cultivators from Wuyi Mountain, were of mediocre cultivation, yet they used the Falling Treasure Coin to knock down Zhao Gongming's magic weapon.

Presumably, this is why his luck declined, and he was eventually killed by Zhao Gongming with his golden whip.

Ma Yuan put the warm, lustrous gold coin into his sleeve, having already made up his mind.

This treasure is extraordinary and will be my ultimate trump card for surviving and turning the tide in the primordial world during the great calamities to come.

However, the cost is enormous and it cannot be used lightly.

Only when facing a true life-or-death situation, or when confronted with an unparalleled opportunity that one is determined to obtain, can it be used as a thunderous measure to make a decisive decision!
Do it all.

Ma Yuan's biggest concern during this trip was to finally put an end to the matter.

He turned his gaze to the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls scattered on the ground, their spiritual light dimmed.

He slowly got up and picked up the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls that had been scattered on the ground and had long since lost their spiritual light.

He probed it with his divine sense and found that the treasure had only been temporarily disconnected from his primordial spirit by the Great Dao of Trade, and its essence was not damaged.

It only takes some time and a few days to refine it again, and it will be restored to its original state.

Ma Yuan wasn't in a hurry about this.

He absorbed all the Dinghai Pearls into his body and nurtured them.

After everything was sorted out, I finally felt completely at ease.

Although this trip to Wuyishan was full of twists and turns, it can still be considered a successful one.

Not only did he unexpectedly enlighten the Wuyi Fox Clan and forge a good relationship, but he also obtained the top-grade innate spiritual root, the Red Robe Enlightenment Tea Tree, as well as the Treasure Falling Coin, which could serve as his ultimate trump card.

The harvest was far greater than he had expected.

"Having traveled for so long, it's time to go back."

Ma Yuan looked up and gazed at the distant eastern horizon, which was the direction of his Skull Mountain Dojo.

He knew in his heart that tens of thousands of years had passed since he left.

In the primordial world, the struggle between the witch and demon races is intensifying, and the prelude to the era of sages is drawing ever closer.

The entire prehistoric world was shrouded in a tense atmosphere, as if a storm was brewing.

At this point, continuing to wander around the outside world would be unwise.

The best course of action would be to return to one's own blessed land, which has long been completely isolated by the causal array, live a secluded life, devote oneself to cultivation, and fully digest and absorb what one has gained from this journey.

Once this thought was reached, Ma Yuan didn't hesitate any longer.

With one step, his figure disappeared into the deep valley.
