: The Treasure-Dropping Coins and the Monkey with Six Ears

Chapter 38 The Treasure-Dropping Coins and the Six-Eared Monkey

Three thousand years have passed.

The vast, untamed land was bustling with activity.

Countless powerful individuals are preparing for the sage's sermon, striving to enhance their own abilities.

Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter the chaos.

At the very least, one needs to reach the Golden Immortal realm to barely protect oneself from being devoured by the raging chaotic energy.

Even a Great Immortal would have to be extremely careful when walking through it.

This day.

Yang Gui's lotus clone wandered leisurely across the primordial land, casually collecting any rare items it encountered to replenish its previous consumption.

After Mount Buzhou collapsed during this great calamity, the innate spiritual energy gradually transformed into acquired spiritual energy.

At that time, these flowers and plants that are everywhere in front of us will also be things that cultivators in later generations will fight over.

Just as Yang Gui was flying slowly above a white cloud, a fragrant scent caught his attention.

Yang Gui's eyes lit up. "What a fragrant tea aroma!"

Controlling the clouds, following the aroma of tea, we arrived at a large mountain.

Here, sacred trees abound, and flowers and grasses exude a delicate fragrance.

Yang Gui took a closer sniff and found that the aroma of tea had disappeared.

"A Primordial Grand Array?"

As a seasoned expert in array formations, he immediately guessed the reason why the fragrance had disappeared.

A divine light flashed in his eyes, and countless innate restrictions appeared before him.

Divine patterns entwine, concealing the secrets of heaven.

"It is fate that we met. Let me see what is seducing me."

With array laws swirling around him, Yang Gui unleashed several restrictions and stepped directly into the innate array.

The world changes, and the stars shift.

They arrived at a peculiar space where countless primordial spiritual energies transformed into tiny sprites with fluttering wings, dancing in the air.

As soon as he entered, a rich aroma of tea filled Yang Gui's nostrils. "Excellent tea!"

It has a delicate orchid scent that is both strong and long-lasting.

In the distance, a continuous stretch of tea trees guards a mother tree that is tens of thousands of feet tall.

Endless spiritual energy converges, creating a vibrant and thriving environment.

Innate spiritual essence, Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao!

It possesses a series of powerful effects, such as prolonging life, refreshing the mind, and calming the spirit.

Although it cannot compare to Hongjun's Enlightenment Tea, it is still a rare innate spiritual root.

"So this is the place. I am truly blessed." Yang Gui was overjoyed.

It's not just because of the mother tree of the Great Red Robe, but also because Wuyi Mountain has a famous and top-grade innate spiritual treasure - the Treasure-Falling Coin!

During the Investiture of the Gods, it shone brightly, defeating Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect's trump card, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and the Dragon-Binding Rope.

It should be noted that Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, despite their shallow cultivation, were able to knock down the magic weapon in the hands of a Great Luo Golden Immortal using the Falling Treasure Coin, which is enough to demonstrate the power of the Falling Treasure Coin.

With the power of Qiankun appearing, Yang Gui collected all the crimson robes in this area into his Qiankun space and began searching within Mount Wuyi.

It didn't take him too much time.

Within another innate grand formation in Wuyi Mountain, the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Treasure-Falling Coin, appeared before him.

It is shaped like a round copper coin with a square hole, and has wings on both sides, with Daoist inscriptions faintly visible on it.

There are three in total, which correspond to the numbers of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and a faint, precious light flows around them.

"This treasure was not yet ready to be born, but I discovered it."

"It's fate, it's meant for me."

His primordial spirit power spread out, and the treasure-dropping coin fell into his hand.

Forty innate restrictions appeared in Yang Gui's mind. Yang Gui was slightly pleased, "Today, I will create another one!"

He refined each innate restriction and fully understood the power of the Treasure Dropping Coin.

All treasures below the supreme innate treasure can also be used to calculate the mysteries of the heavenly way.

However, it wasn't without its price.

Among the 40 innate restrictions, Yang Gui perceived the power of cause and effect and the laws of exchange.

To use the Treasure Drop Coin, you must pay a certain price, which is luck!

Furthermore, it can only be used on magical treasures; it is ineffective against certain weapons.

"Just as the legends say, this treasure is not something an ordinary person can use."

Yang Gui already had some idea about this.

The primary function of the Treasure-Dropping Coin is not to drop magical treasures onto people, but rather to represent the rules of "transactions" in the world.

Transactions flow, cause and effect cycle, all things are constant, and there is equal exchange.

In the process of exchange, cause and effect are established, and the energy of heaven and earth is absorbed.

This is the true function of the Treasure-Dropping Coin.

Its computational power also comes from this.

After refining the Treasure-Dropping Coin, Yang Gui plundered Wuyi Mountain to make sure there was nothing else there, and then flew away.

Having gone out and managed to acquire a primordial spiritual treasure and a primordial spiritual root, it can be considered a very fruitful trip.

"Wait!"

"Please wait, senior!"

Just as Yang Gui was flying low, preparing to fly into the chaos, a sharp voice rang out from below, as if calling out to him.

Looking towards the sound, he discovered that thousands of miles away, a monkey four feet tall, resembling a macaque, was leaping hundreds of feet and shouting at him.

"This monkey..."

Yang Gui was somewhat surprised, "The Six-Eared Macaque!"

It has a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, and six ears.

If it wasn't the Six-Eared Macaque who eavesdropped on the Taoist patriarch's sermon and then impersonated Sun Wukong and was killed, who else could it be?

Those who are good at listening can discern the truth, understand the past and future, and comprehend all things.

If one stands in one place, one can know what is happening a thousand miles away, and one can also understand the speech of ordinary people.

One of the four chaotic monkeys, he is also very bold.

His attempt to eavesdrop on the Taoist patriarch's teachings was completely blocked by the phrase "The Dharma is not to be transmitted to six ears."

When the Six-Eared Macaque below saw Yang Gui stop, its face lit up with joy, and it increased its leaping speed.

Upon reaching a short distance and seeing Yang Gui depicted in the celestial radiance, the Six-Eared Macaque immediately knelt down and cried out, "Junior Six-Eared Macaque pays respects to Senior! Please accept me as your guest!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Gui instantly understood that the monkey had come to ask to become his disciple.

Seeing that Yang Gui remained silent, the Six-Eared Macaque grew anxious. "Senior, I have wandered the primordial land for countless years, visiting famous mountains and worshipping saints, hoping only to embark on the path of cultivation, to attain freedom and ease."

"For countless years, I have neither seen a saint nor known supernatural powers, and have sought them in vain. Today, seeing you in the midst of your desires in chaos, you must be a person of great supernatural powers. I hope you will grant my request."

As they spoke, the Six-Eared Macaque knelt on the ground, scratching his ears and cheeks, looking extremely anxious.

As one of the four chaotic monkeys and a part of the differentiation of the chaotic demon ape, the Six-Eared Macaque was born with knowledge.

However, due to the tyrannical aura of the Chaos Demon Ape, he was born with only the realm of a Xuanxian, and could only rely on his innate supernatural powers to hide secretly in the primordial land.

Thousands of years ago, when the Taoist Ancestor attained sainthood and was preparing to open an altar to preach, he had been searching for a great master in the primordial land to become his teacher.

They're either ignored or can't be found.

Meeting Yang Gui was his last hope. If Yang Gui didn't accept him as a disciple, the Six-Eared Macaque would have no choice but to use his talent to eavesdrop on the Taoist Ancestor's teachings.

Thinking of this, the Six-Eared Macaque was also very uneasy.

However, just as the Six-Eared Macaque was at a loss, he heard Yang Gui speak from the sky, "Since you were able to stop me, it means that there is some fate between us. Today, I will accept you as my disciple."

"When you have achieved enlightenment in the future, you may personally pass on your teachings to me."

Six Ears was overjoyed, tears almost streaming down his face. "Thank you so much, Master, for taking me in!!"

The next second, he felt everything go black and the world spin.

Then it disappeared into the vast, desolate land.

Yang Gui sealed away his five senses and six perceptions, and absorbed him into the universe.

Yang Gui sat atop a cloud, his fingertips clapping as he rapidly deduced, "In this way, I will create a protector who can fight against heaven and earth."

After saying that, he controlled the cloud and flew into the chaos, heading towards the direction of Zixiao Palace.

However, at this moment, a large number of powerful cultivators were already standing at the entrance of Zixiao Palace.
