Journey to the West: Start by giving Taishang Laojun a whole life

Chapter 219 Laozi: If you cause trouble, don't mention my name!
Zhang Tianke never expected that he would become the legendary God of Wealth. He subconsciously accepted the gold ingot and seal that symbolized the God of Wealth, not knowing whether they were the originals or reissued by the Heavenly Court after the previous God of Wealth ran away.

After all, the Jade Emperor still calls the shots in the Heavenly Court. He controls the entire Heavenly Court and the entire Three Realms. All the power held by the gods is in his hands, which is truly terrifying.

He could casually toss down a peach and it would transform into a peach mountain, suppressing his younger sister beneath it. That was no ordinary ability; many gods couldn't do it.

Zhang Tian simply held the gold ingot in his hand and gently touched the seal. Instantly, the wishes of all beings in the Three Realms flooded his mind, all of them yearning to get rich.

He savored it carefully.

For a moment, I felt a sense of relief.

"Fortunately, it's not the internet age. People in the three realms don't have such high demands. They don't ask for millions in assets, winning hundreds of millions in the lottery, or having their funds and stocks skyrocket. They just ask for enough to eat and wear, and some extra money to support their children!"

It allows people to make a small fortune.

Zhang Tian felt he could do it with a thought, but he couldn't beat the lottery director to make someone win the lottery, or beat the fund manager or stock expert. It was just too difficult. He felt that even if he tried to manipulate things himself, he would lose face.

He withdrew his thoughts and looked at the two people in front of him. They were subordinates assigned to him by the Heavenly Court. The one on the left was Zhao Gongming. Although he was not well-known in this world, he was a household name in the next world! Almost everyone knew him!

The other one is even more terrifying.

He is Guan Yu, the God of War, whose historical records describe him as a figure of unparalleled power and loyalty throughout Chinese history.

Zhang Tian readily accepted the greetings from Zhao Gongming and Guan Yu, precisely because he was no longer a mortal, but a true immortal under the tutelage of Laozi, and had even met the Jade Emperor. If he still held onto the mindset of his past life…

Wouldn't it have been a waste of time to travel through time?
"May the God of Wealth return to his place!"

Zhao Gongming and Guan Yu were quite troubled, because the position of God of Wealth was not a good one at the time. It used to be a lucrative post, but who would have thought that the previous God of Wealth would make such a big mess by committing fraud and swindling a lot of money from the other gods.

That's all the hard-earned money that other gods have accumulated over many years. It's the divine stipend, a divine item that preserves life and helps people overcome the three calamities. It's far more precious than gold and silver.

The two could only rely on Zhang Tian to resolve the matter.

That's why they are so eager for the other party to return home quickly and take charge of the overall situation.

After their reminder, Zhang Tian's smile vanished by a third, and he felt that he was having a hard time.

"Oh no! I didn't pay much attention to this when Erlang Shen mentioned it before. The Great Immortal Li Hua also said that the other party only deceived some gods and didn't cause any big commotion. But thinking about it carefully, even the Six Sages of Meishan in the lower realm knew about it and were even cheated out of their salaries. These are gods who have nothing to do with us..."

As we all know, when everyone knows that doing something will make you rich, then that thing will definitely not make you rich!
When Zhang Tian realized that even the gods in the mortal realm knew the name of the God of Wealth, he immediately understood the seriousness of the problem. He feared that once he took office, he would become the biggest culprit in the Heavenly Court.

However, he had a good attitude.

"I'm just the top debtor of the Heavenly Court. Compared to that unlucky guy next door who has to pay off billions of debts, I'm actually doing a little better."

Zhang Tian was confident. Instead of returning to his place in the God of Wealth's Palace first, he said to Zhao Gongming and Guan Yu, "You two go back to your places first. I have some personal matters to attend to. I'll be right back."

Guan Yu was somewhat puzzled. "Master, you may not know this, but the God of Wealth's mansion is already overflowing with gods, and there are countless gods demanding repayment. It's a matter of life and death. Why do you seem so calm to me? Do you perhaps have a plan in mind?"

Zhang Tian smiled but said nothing.

Zhao Gongming laughed loudly, "Yun Chang, you're confused. Have you forgotten the background behind you, Master? Your family has a master who is ten times more powerful than the God of Wealth."

who is it?

Of course, it's that shameless, swindling, and deceitful scoundrel who caused even Laozi to use an alias and dare not show his true face—the number one thief in the Three Realms, Qingniu.

It even prompted the Jade Emperor to set up a celestial office in the Heaven of Separation from Hatred, leaving all the gods with a place to collect debts.

Isn't that more outrageous than the God of Wealth?
Guan Yu suddenly realized, "I remember now, it was written by Confucius. I've even read his Spring and Autumn Annals... cough... misread, misread..."

He coughed a few times, indicating that he was also a victim. Then the two of them bowed to Zhang Tian, ​​not to him, but to Laozi, after all, the other party was the patriarch of the Daoist sect, did they understand the significance of the word "patriarch"?

Anyone who considers themselves to be a member of the Taoist sect.

They all have to perform the disciple's rites!

Zhang Tian rode a cloud straight up to the Heaven of Separation and met with Laozi, seeking his master's help regarding the recent events he had encountered, one of which was the possible inner demons he might have.

Secondly, the position of the God of Wealth.

Unexpectedly, Laozi burst into laughter, "This is the first time I've ever heard of someone who cultivates my Tao Te Ching having inner demons and distracting thoughts?"

He stroked his beard with immense pride. The Tao Te Ching was a profound text he had written, a testament to the Tao. He was constantly drawing closer to the Tao, enhancing his understanding, and comprehending its principles. It was as if he was constantly cultivating himself and refining his character.

"Your mind is filled with distracting thoughts..."

"It's simply because your cultivation is still too short!"

As for the position of God of Wealth, it was discussed between the Jade Emperor and Laozi. This position is quite a trap for others, but it is not a trap for Zhang Tian.

Who told his master to be the richest person in the Three Realms? A little bit of money leaking through his fingers could fill all those debts.

If there is no debt.

The God of Wealth is practically the most desirable and lucrative position. After all, throughout the entire Three Realms and the Heavenly Court, apart from the Jade Emperor and Laozi, who are renowned deities, the God of Wealth is probably the one who receives the most incense offerings.

Dare you say you don't have a God of Wealth statue in your home?
"Once you've finished dealing with your journey to the West, obtained the wordless scripture, and comprehended the Five Elements Dao to become a Golden Immortal, it won't be too late for you to take on the role of the God of Wealth."

Laozi had already made arrangements. Seeing Zhang Tian's respectful expression, he pondered for a moment, "You have been busy with your journey to the West these days and have had little time for cultivation, so you are quite confused. Hmm... I will refine a magic weapon for you to help you eliminate distracting thoughts and improve your cultivation. What do you say?"

Zhang Tian was overjoyed.

He nodded repeatedly, clearly unwilling.

Then, Laozi pondered and said, "I have mastered three thousand techniques, each one of which I am proficient in. I have a technique that can make a magic weapon indestructible and indestructible. Would you like it?"

Zhang Tian immediately thought of the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff used to stabilize the sea). Although he thought it was good, he shook his head when he thought of the iron rod he had borrowed from Qingniu and the sword he had obtained from Longhu Mountain. After all, he didn't lack them.

Laozi pondered for a moment, then said, "I have a method that can grant magical treasures immense supernatural powers. If one comprehends these powers, their might will be unfathomable. Would you be willing?"

Zhang Tian shook his head again.

Because he remembered the Golden Bridge to the Other Shore that Laozi had taught him, but he hadn't mastered it yet, only the Black Brick to the Other Shore for ambushing people, so he didn't need it anymore.

Laozi sighed, "Alas, I will forge another unique magic weapon for you, but if you cause trouble in the future, never mention my name!"

Zhang Tian felt like he had heard this phrase somewhere before.

Then, a golden light flashed in Laozi's hand, and he took a wisp of wealth from him, condensing it into a copper coin that shone brilliantly.

【Falling Treasure Copper Coin: A top-grade magic weapon crafted by a master from another heaven. It possesses supernatural powers and can communicate with gods through wealth. It can consume wealth to eliminate distracting thoughts and accelerate cultivation. When competing with other magic weapons, it can rely on wealth to suppress the opponent!
The spell: You're not as rich as me, you're not as rich as me, you're not as rich as me!

Zhang Tian looked strange.

This magical artifact...

The chances of getting beaten up are a bit high, aren't they?
