Rebirth of Devouring Dragon Emperor

Chapter 609 On the Importance of Spending Money

"No wonder that's the case."

The old Chinese practitioner sighed, "Until this era, the Japanese royal family has always remained super mysterious. It turns out that they are trying their best to keep those secrets."

Chu Xian couldn't help but say, "It turns out there are so many twists and turns here. The upper echelons of Japan really know how to play."

Seeing Ye Qing's indifferent eyes looking over, Hua Xiaozhixiang hurriedly said respectfully: "Master Ye Qing, don't worry, that place is no secret to you, I can take you there at any time!"

Soon, she continued, "In fact, this Yasakani no Magatama is a relatively unsuccessful replica. It was modeled after the most famous ancient artifact in China. Can you guess which artifact it is?"

In ancient Chinese mythology, there are many things related to jade. In addition to the famous pieces in the Battle of the Gods, there are many others whose names have not been passed down.

Ye Qing smiled faintly and said nothing. The others all shook their heads, indicating that they couldn't guess.

After all, in ancient times, both humans and gods considered jade to be beautiful. It is conceivable how difficult it is to accurately guess which jade artifact it is.
The beautiful shikigami whispered, "This Yasakani no Magatama is modeled after the Jade Disc of Creation."

When they heard the answer, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

That is the Jade Disc of Creation, the magical weapon of the Taoist master!

Even in Chinese mythology, this artifact is extremely mysterious. No one knows how powerful it is because it has never been used to its limit. No one can understand how many characteristics it has because, apart from the Taoist Ancestor, even several generations of Heavenly Emperors are not qualified to witness it with their own eyes!

If the ancient Japanese really copied this artifact, even if it had one thousandth of the power of the original, it would still be a very scary super artifact!

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, a hint of cunning emerged on Hua Xiaozhixiang's face, and she chuckled and said, "The first generation of alchemists who went to Japan were also very bold. They had never even seen the appearance of the Jade Disc of Creation, but they tried to imitate it. As a result, they wasted countless resources and produced the largest counterfeit in the history of mythology."

"Hehe, it is said that the Jade Disc of Creation can change the world, and the Yasakani no Magatama looks like a small stone. Apart from being extremely hard and occasionally spewing fire, it has no other function!"

After hearing this, Ye Qing also smiled and said, "It is probably because the first generation of Onmyoji were unwilling to accept it, so they forced the Yasakani no Magatama into the three national treasures."

"That's right, but after thousands of years of worship, the stone has been imbued with a lot of Japan's national fortune. It can now be barely considered a national treasure." Hanako Orika agreed with a smile.

Chu Xian brought Ye Qing a new cup of coffee from the counter and then said, "From what you said, the so-called national treasures of Japan are basically just fake goods that don't live up to their reputation. The treasures we saw in some ancient shrines before may be more powerful than the so-called national treasures."

"That's the truth, but there are exceptions." Hanako Orika remembered something and said with a smile, "The Eight-foot Mirror and the Yasakani no Magatama are both artifacts that are overrated. Only the Murasaki Sword is an exception. All the Onmyoji who have seen it say that it is a powerful artifact. It is reasonable to call it the number one artifact in Japan."

"However, only successive emperors could use it, and the emperors over the past thousand years were too weak to fully unleash its power. As a result, the Kusanagi sword was very strange and was forced to become a fake among the divine weapons."

As soon as these words were spoken, several people in the room couldn't help laughing.

Weird Japan, weird royal family, it's impossible not to make people laugh. Chu Xian understood almost immediately, and immediately followed this line of thought and added with a smile: "So for nearly a thousand years, the shogunate controlled by the ninja has deprived the emperor of his power, and the Onmyoji faction has long disliked the emperor's family?"

"Smart!" Hua Xiaozhixiang praised, and said with a smile: "Strange traditions, strange systems, strange upper-class relationships, this is why this shikigami has always wanted to go to China."

Perhaps because he felt that the shikigami in front of him was becoming more and more adorable, Chu Xian asked with concern: "You are so yearning for China, what was your previous master Abe Riyoshi's attitude?"

"What about that guy Abe?" Hanako Orika said with a bit of disdain: "That guy is a coward. He was the first one to say he wanted to go to China, but he dared to say it but not to do it. He deserves to be despised for the rest of his life."

After hearing her say this, Chu Xian immediately pictured Abe Riyoshi's complete image in his mind: a young Onmyoji who worshipped and yearned for the ancient Chinese alchemists. Although he had great ambitions, he was cowardly and did not dare to openly break with the Japanese Onmyoji faction. He only dared to quietly send his own Shikigami to show goodwill to the Chinese strongmen.

But soon Chu Xian secretly complained in his heart, Abe Riyoshi is too cowardly. Even the Shikigami he raised looks down on him. If this weird thing were to spread, it would at least become a laughing stock that would make the cultivation world laugh for hundreds of years.

"Let's go and get the Yasakani no Magatama and the Eight-foot Mirror first."

Ye Qing finished the last sip of coffee, stood up and said.

"That's great, I've never seen the true appearance of those two things!" Hua Xiaozhixiang ran out excitedly to get her sports car, obviously couldn't wait.

At this time, the young Chinese cultivator hesitated for a moment, and said a little shyly: "Master Ye Qing, we two would also like to go with you to see it."

Not surprisingly, Ye Qing replied calmly: "You can go, but you are both responsible for your own safety."

He, Ye Qing, has never been too lazy to worry about the affairs of ants, without exception.

When everyone went out, Hua Xiaozhixiang's sports car was already waiting at the door.

There was another car, and Yang Xiaocong's sly head popped out and greeted everyone: "Master Ye Qing, I'm so happy to see you!"

It was obvious that after this guy ran away and lost contact, he tried hard to contact Chu Xian, and Chu Xian told him the location here.

Similarly, Ye Qing still ignored this guy. Everyone got in the car, Hua Xiaozhixiang sat in the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away.

Watching the beautiful shikigami skillfully throttle and shift gears, Chu Xian asked curiously and enviously, "When did you learn to drive a sports car?"

Although this girl's family is rich, she used to advocate quiet meditation and hard training, and her life is not even as good as that of a shikigami.

"Because Abe has money but doesn't know how to spend it." Hanako Orika said confidently, "The Onmyoji sect has so much money, most of which is earned by exploiting shikigami and civilians. I have to help them spend more before I go to China, otherwise I will suffer a great loss!"
