From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 168: Two Worlds Tongbao
Taoist Liu is a great master of Dinglu, and his strength is slightly stronger than Taoist Zizhu.

Chen Xuan found a jade token on Taoist Liu's body. It was a treasure that could store things. After studying it briefly, he successfully poured out the items hidden inside.

"Wow!"

A pile of square-buckled round green copper coins fell to the ground with a clatter, forming a small hill on the ground. It emitted a faint golden glass glow and had a special spatial atmosphere.

"What kind of coin is this?"

Chen Xuan was stunned when he saw this. He picked up a bronze coin with intricate and exquisite patterns and turned it over in his palm to examine it carefully.

The copper coin was only about an inch in size, but it was surprisingly heavy, probably about a pound.

The four characters "Liangjie Tongbao" written in seal script on the front are simple and vigorous.

The back depicts a bustling market scene with bustling traffic and numerous buildings. The lines of the pattern are entangled and winding with each other, as if they have their own life. In the sunlight, there are strands of spiritual light wandering in these lines, as if countless tiny snakes are moving around.

"The currency circulating in the Two Realms Market? The Lords of the Two Realms actually minted coins privately?"

Chen Xuan looked shocked. In the Southern Wilderness and the land of Chu, Qi practitioners still followed the ancient barter trading method.

However, Hua Liuli, the master of the two worlds, opened markets in various states in the mortal world and even created her own currency. This was an amazing achievement.

From this point alone, we can see how exaggerated the business of the two world masters is.

Even in the remote Yaoguangzhou Zhiguo, there are powerful people like Dinglu who recognize the value of the money of the two worlds.

"This Two Realms Tongbao coin is made of precious space metal. Its anti-counterfeiting feature is a special aura left by the Two Realms Lords."

Chen Xuan sensed a mysterious and distant power within the cyan copper coin in his hand. Like the depths of a cosmic black hole, or the ethereal realm of dreams, it gently tugged at his consciousness. Enveloped by this aura, he seemed to hear the whispers of space and sense the faint vibrations of different dimensions.

"Not to mention the circulation value that the two world masters have given to the two world coins, just talking about the material of the two world coins themselves, it is a rare metal used to make space treasures."

Therefore, in the trading market of the Two Worlds Market, whether it is a rare spiritual elixir or a powerful magic weapon, it can be measured with this special copper coin.

"Where did the Lord of the Two Realms find this kind of space metal? Does she have a mine?"

Chen Xuan sighed with a hint of envy in his heart. The two world masters lived a much happier and more comfortable life than other people whose lives were precarious. He quickly counted Taoist Liu's property.

"Nine hundred and sixty-one, two-world treasure glass coins."

Chen Xuan estimated that if these 961 kilograms of Two Worlds Coins were melted down, they would be enough to forge several priceless space artifacts.

"Master Liu is a money-grubber. What's the point of keeping all this wealth? It would be better to exchange it for cultivation resources to enhance your own strength!"

He muttered, and put these precious coins of the two worlds into the treasure of Shanghe Tujuan.

Then, check out Taoist Liu’s other relics.

But most of Taoist Liu's wealth should have been exchanged for money from the two worlds. Among the remaining miscellaneous items, the truly valuable ones are four fire spiritual essences of different qualities.

"These Fire Virtue Spiritual Essences were probably obtained by him recently from killing the Chu cultivators."

Chen Xuan thought to himself and quickly counted all of Taoist Liu's belongings.

The most precious item is undoubtedly the 961-jin (approximately 100-161 kg) of Two Realms Tongbao (Liu Li) coins, but one needs to enter the Two Realms Market to know its specific value and use it to exchange for the necessary cultivation resources.

"I must go to the Two Worlds Fair. Now that the war in Luoyue City has reached a stalemate, the Two Worlds Fair should be held soon."

Chen Xuan thought to himself.

Not long after, Jiang Qinghuang used a communication talisman to inform Chen Xuan that a celebration banquet would be held in Luoyue City tonight.

Chen Xuan thought about it and rejected Jiang Qinghuang's enthusiastic invitation.

"Princess, please quickly memorize the Phoenix Scripture. I will then come to Luoyue City to find you."

Now, the battle in Luoyue City has come to an end.

He was just like some temporary monks recruited by the Demon Suppression Division. He quickly cut ties with the Division and severed his connection with it, so that the bond would not be any deeper.

Of course, if participating in the celebration banquet offered suitable benefits, Chen Xuan wouldn't mind serving as the "general" of the Demon Suppression Division, toasting with the Chu cultivators and deepening their friendship.

"The most important thing is to seize the time to practice and improve your cultivation."

Chen Xuan sighed in his heart, and then he looked up at the golden Candle Dragon Sun on the dome of the sky.

The Candle Dragon Sun, bound by millions of chains, seemed to emit an ancient and compassionate roar. Countless giant hands hidden in the clouds dragged the remains of this supreme mountain god day after day, year after year...

"I've really been targeted by something."

He grumbled inwardly. Like other destiny beings, he gradually realized that he seemed to have become a meal for a certain existence hidden in the dark... Perhaps it was Zhulong, or perhaps it was those beings hidden in the clouds.

There is an indescribable pressure in my heart, and I feel like a crisis will break out at any time.

“Everyone is saving themselves.”

Chen Xuan had a melancholy look on his face. He then raised his left hand. On his wrist was a white dragon soul mark. The mark was a noble platinum color. At first glance, it looked like a burning white flame. However, upon closer inspection, one could make out the outline of a winding, slender white dragon.

Under the influence of the strange phenomenon when [Master Fu Long] fell, the dragon soul mark left by the dragon girl Long Ziyue of the Rain Country also benefited greatly and underwent some amazing and strange transformation.

“Itchy.”

Chen Xuan scratched his eyes. After using his Heart Fast, the nauseating feeling of being spied on became even stronger. He then solemnly commanded the Dragon Soul Mark on his wrist:

"Come out and lick me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon soul mark seemed to come alive, and then a slender white dragon crawled out from the mark and swam up along the arm.

"hold head high!"

Her scales resembled pure ice and snow, shimmering with a faint pink spiritual mist. Most striking were her glass-like dragon eyes—a rouge-pink halo adorned the ends, as if dipped in peach dew. Her long, brush-like eyelashes trembled, shimmering and radiant when she blinked, making her seem even more delicate than a mortal girl.

The soft and glutinous touch fell on Chen Xuan's eyebrows.

Chen Xuan vaguely sensed that some unknown, prying aura was quickly absorbed and cleared away by the white dragon... It should be the Candle Dragon, right? Is it effective for all dragons?
"Okay! Go back!"

Chen Xuan felt in good condition, and immediately ordered the white dragon, who was still not satisfied, to retreat quickly.

"Ang~"

She didn't know whether it was the remaining trace of Long Ziyue or something like the spirit of a treasure. She let out a soft hum when she heard the sound. The dragon's hum had a hint of laziness, but also revealed some indescribable agility and liveliness. She slowly retreated back into the dragon soul mark.

"Oh, what a dragon girl from the Rain Country! Even Master Fulong couldn't save you. Now you're just a tool for me to manipulate!"

Chen Xuan snorted in his heart, then took out the Wood Spirit Pill left by Taoist Zizhu and swallowed it. At the same time, his soul left his body and he started to practice the Taoist chapters of the "Huangliang Scripture".

Start practicing.

Fourteen days later.

Previously, Huangliang Daozang, who had been practicing for some time, successfully broke through.

The fourth level of Taoist canon.

same day.

Jiang Qinghuang sent a message, announcing: "Outside Luoyue City, merchants are gathering. The Two Worlds Market is about to open. Also, the Phoenix Scripture has been copied. General, please come quickly."

Chen Xuan stood up and replied, "Okay."

Damn! Without the help of the Black Cat Goddess from the Lesser Underworld, it would be inconvenient to do anything. Even acquiring a true scripture would be such a hassle.

Chen Xuan not only missed the black cat, but also thought of the Southern Wilderness. He wondered what those big ghosts in the Southern Wilderness who also coveted the territory of Chu were doing behind the scenes now that they were silent and unknown.
Could it be that by following the tiger, he was searching for fragments of the ancient mountains and seas hidden in the southern wilderness? The tiger seemed to have made a similar promise.

So there is no time to invade the State of Chu?
