I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 286 The Old Five Emperors Sword! The New Five Emperors Sword!
Chen Han put down the one-yuan coin, then took the bag of copper coins back to his room.

After closing the door, he placed the copper coins from the bag on the table.

These copper coins came from different dynasties, and he picked up a few to examine them.

These are the first batches of copper coins issued by each dynasty.

For example, the Sui Dynasty's Wuzhu coin, the Tang Dynasty's Kaiyuan coin, the Song Dynasty's Jianlong coin, and the Ming Dynasty's Hongwu Tongbao coin.

Of course, these are just some of the more representative examples; there are also copper coins minted during other well-known dynasties when they changed their currencies.

I took them out and piled them up in a small heap.

These were all from ancient times, and the rest really made him lose his composure.

There are several one-yuan coins and several five-fen coins in China.

Five cents and twenty-five cents in Stars and Stripes.

The bear's 10 ruble and 50 ruble notes.

British penny coins.

The blue country's 10-euro and 2-euro coins.

These are the coins of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. Although there aren't many of them, they look quite out of place next to these copper coins.

However, after a quick check, he was surprised to find that the collectible value of these coins was no lower than that of copper coins.

For example, a single one-yuan coin in China, especially the first edition or one of the first 2000 produced, can fetch a price exceeding one million yuan.

This price is beyond the reach of most collectible copper coins, unless they are rare, unique pieces.

Similarly, he checked the coins of the other four countries and found that if they were in the same condition, their collectible value was very high, and a single coin could fetch a high price at auction.

It could even be argued that if these modern coins were all first editions, even if they weren't from the first batch, their combined collectible value would likely be greater than that of ancient copper coins.

You don't know until you look it up, and then you find out another piece of useless knowledge.

Chen Han roughly understood what Mr. Liu was thinking. It was probably because the other party didn't know what he wanted the coins for, and after the news spread, someone came with modern coins to inquire.

Knowing that modern coins are more expensive than ancient ones, he probably thought he'd just buy them since he didn't know what they were for anyway.

Liu Ye did indeed hold this mindset. To him, the money spent on those coins was completely unimportant. Even if the Chen family head didn't need them, buying them wouldn't cost him much more money.

What if Patriarch Chen needs it? Then buying it would be a different story.

Back in his courtyard, he excitedly took out the Body Tempering Pill given to him by the Chen family head. As soon as he opened the bottle, a pleasant, faint medicinal fragrance wafted into his nose.

He had heard some members of the Chen clan talk about the Body Tempering Pill. Even members of the Chen clan had to make contributions to receive the Body Tempering Pill as a reward, and there weren't many of them.

The small bottle that Patriarch Chen gave us now contains a certain quantity.

He poured out a pill and put it in his mouth before going into the lobby. He used to enjoy working out when he was younger, so now that his leg was healed, he set up some exercise equipment in the lobby.

He went to a fitness machine to exercise, and in just a short while, a look of joy appeared on his face.

It was totally worth it.

...

Inside the room, Chen Han had already begun examining the copper coins, naturally by storing them in his game inventory to check their information.

[Yongzheng Tongbao: This was the first copper coin issued by Emperor Yongzheng before the Lunar New Year. Unfortunately, it was obtained from burial goods and carries an ominous aura, rendering it useless.]

[Wuzhu coin: This is the first type of copper coin issued during the Han Dynasty. It has surface defects because it was retrieved from the ground and is considered to have too much negative energy; therefore, it is not suitable for long-term wear.]

[Kaiping Tongbao: This is a copper coin with slightly collectible value, but it has no special spiritual energy!]

...

As Chen Han examined each copper coin, he suddenly sensed an ominous sign of an inauspicious start.

Upon examining each of these copper coins, it became clear that they were either obtained through tomb raiding or were completely useless.

He even examined dozens of copper coins, all of which were from underground. Even if they weren't from tombs, they had lost all their vitality and were of no use except for their collectible value.

Even those with yin energy can have side effects on people, which may be due to harmful substances, the proliferation of microorganisms, chemical changes, and physical pollution, as science says.

In other words, if Uncle Nine used these copper coins to make a copper coin sword in the movie and then used it to kill zombies, the zombies might actually shout "Awesome!" with great satisfaction.

Continuing to examine the remaining coins, this time the first one gave a small surprise.

【Han Wu Wu Zhu Coin: This is the first version of Wu Zhu coin made during the reign of the Five Emperors of Han. It was widely circulated and carried some of the fortune and popularity of a dynasty. However, after being buried underground for a long time, the fortune and popularity were exhausted and few remain. Nevertheless, it can meet the basic requirements for making the old Five Emperors Sword!
Note: Collect the other four Old Emperor's Copper Coins to craft the true Old Five Emperors Sword.

Chen Han said he finally felt a little comforted.

The Five Emperors Sword is also known as the Five Emperors Copper Coin Sword. For example, the copper coin sword that Uncle Nine and his friends used to cut down zombies was made of Five Emperors copper coins.

The copper coin in his hand could now be used to forge the Five Emperors Sword, the kind that could be used to slay zombies without any problem once it's finished.

The words "Old Five Emperors Sword" made him pause slightly, lost in thought.

He subconsciously took out a one-yuan coin and put it into his game inventory, then checked the notes:
【Red Coin: This is a rare red coin. It is the first coin ever made after the establishment of a country. As the country grew stronger, this coin circulated among countless people. It not only has great popularity, but is also blessed with profound fortune. It is an excellent material for making the new Five Emperors Sword.

Note: Collect the other four existing Five Emperors coins to craft the true new Five Emperors Sword. Within the Five Emperors' territory, dragon veins can be found, and the terrain can be manipulated!

Upon seeing this note, Chen Han felt a slight itch in his head; it seemed like the person had finally grown a brain.

Is this even allowed?
Is the new Five Emperors Sword real, or is it just copied from somewhere in the game system?
However, upon closer reflection, if the Five Emperors Sword relies on the popularity and fortune contained within the coins, then ancient coins are truly not as terrifying as modern coins.

That seems...too reasonable.

If that's the case, then it goes without saying what the other four emperors' coins were.

The only ones who can be called the Five Emperors are the current five permanent members of the UN Security Council, which means the coins of the other four countries.

Coincidentally, the coins Mr. Liu bought included those from four other countries.

Chen Han was stunned. Could it be that the game system saw the Five Constant Coins and then improvised to create an old Five Emperors Sword and a new Five Emperors Sword?
Given the nature of this system, it's entirely possible.

He immediately looked at the other four types of coins and took them into his game inventory to check their notes.

The notes were mostly similar; these coins were all first editions, carrying a strong sense of popularity and good fortune. However, Chen Han knew that, under the current circumstances, domestic coins undoubtedly possessed the highest level of popularity, overwhelming the number of people who could use them and ensuring their wider circulation.

As for fortune, it needs to be judged from various aspects, such as development speed, international influence, and technological capabilities. The one with the strongest overall strength should also have the strongest fortune contained in its coins.

However, this is not important to him. After all, these coins are one of the materials needed to forge the new Five Emperors Sword. Only when they are combined can the Five Emperors Sword be formed.

As for this sword that combines popularity and luck, would it be better to use a foreign one? Would it be accepted?

What else can you do if the game system already approves?
Even if there really is a Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable or something like that, I would acknowledge that gods compete for offerings. Do you think gods would want to expand overseas?
You should know that there are Taoist temples in Wuchang now, and they worship the gods of China. Wouldn't you call this a mission of spreading incense to distant lands?

If we expand Taoism to other countries of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and gain their belief, what would you say then?

Like the church, didn't it also have an expeditionary force?

In reality, that's the desire of the church's higher-ups; in a fantasy world, it's God wanting to spread his light further.

However, God overestimated his abilities and was severely defeated by the gods of other countries. He went back to lick his wounds, so most of the expeditionary force remained there.

In reality, this might mean that Taoism has spread overseas.

He was afraid that if he revealed this thought, given the nature of the game system, it might immediately copy it, saying that the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable was going to the outer realms to slay demons for sixty years and had been raising demons there for 300 years.

Chen Han immediately began to examine each of the modern coins.

It must be said that Liu Ye, a wealthy man, is very reliable in his dealings; the coins he bought were mostly genuine.

The number of copper coins needed to make the Five Emperors Sword is not fixed. Often, two numbers are used as examples: 36 copper coins for the sword, corresponding to the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, or 72 copper coins, corresponding to the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends.

Naturally, the Five Emperors Sword, which corresponds to the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, should be substituted with the actual Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends.

Just like the long-standing debate about whether the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang or the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends are more powerful.

If the Five Emperors Swords were applied to this, the arguments would never end.

The Five Emperors Sword embodies a combination of popularity and fortune. With the same amount of popularity and fortune, 72 Five Emperors Coins are definitely stronger than 36 coins.

Alternatively, if the 36 coins have strong popularity and good fortune, while the 72 Five Emperor Coins have weak popularity and good fortune, then the 36 coins are definitely stronger.

There is no certainty about this.

Chen Han doesn't have a specific numerical value to match right now, so when he sees that there are enough 72 Five Constants coins, he naturally chooses to make the Five Emperors Sword with 72 coins.

Among them are 71 coins from the Five Emperors, plus the Kaiyuan Tongbao coin with profound fortune that was dropped by the Skull Gate.

This Kaiyuan Tongbao coin, imbued with profound fortune, is no longer considered an ancient coin, or perhaps it no longer is; rather, it is a material imbued with fortune.

The new Five Emperors Sword made with this luck-enhancing material and 72 existing Five Emperors Coins should be pretty good.

Now that we have the coin materials, all that's missing is the red line.

He took some red lines directly from the game inventory.

These are some leftovers from when I helped Yue's husband make red thread last time. I never thought I'd be able to use them now.

This red thread is made of elm bark and belongs to the wood element. When combined with coins, it can also help the Five Emperors Sword meet the requirements of 'gentle fire alchemy'.

The so-called "refining gold over a gentle fire" is because the red thread can activate the popularity and fortune of the copper coin, forming a special ability mechanism.

There are several ways to make a copper coin sword using red thread, the most common being the interlacing method, where the red thread is interlaced through the middle of the copper coin.

However, since these coins don't have holes, the only option is to use a weaving method, which involves braiding multiple strands of fine thread into one, ensuring they are of uniform thickness, and then wrapping the coin inside.

This method of weaving is much more difficult than the interlacing method.

There was no other way; he couldn't very well punch holes in the coins, as that might damage them and render them ineffective.

But before he began crafting the Five Emperors Sword, he took out his phone and started recording.

It's been a while since I've filmed any videos, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to film a video about forging the Five Emperors Sword.

After the video recording started, Chen Han solemnly said to the video, "Our family spies have received information that another demonic expert is plotting against our family. Moreover, this demonic expert is skilled at creating zombies. I must create a Five Emperors Sword to counter the zombies he creates."

Many people know about the Five Emperors Sword; it's the copper coin sword, especially those who have seen Uncle Nine's movies.

He knew that the mention of zombies here would remind many people of the image of the copper coin sword.

But when they see modern coins being taken out, they will probably all look astonished.

Chen Han took the red thread and started operating it in front of the phone camera. The red thread weaving method involves using the red thread to weave and wrap all the copper coins together, and then binding them into a sword shape.

Of course, it's fine if it's not shaped like a sword; many Five Emperors Swords have been made into the shape of a long ruler.

Chen Han's technique was decent; he carefully wove the coins into the shape of a sword, then bound the auspicious Kaiyuan Tongbao coin in the middle, and finally wove the modern coins one by one into a new Five Emperors Sword.

Looking at the Five Emperors Sword he had just finished weaving, he paused the recording and put the sword into his game inventory.

[New Five Emperors Sword (Semi-finished Product): This is a semi-finished New Five Emperors Sword. The coins on it contain popularity and fortune, but they are too mixed to be condensed into a single form. Therefore, it needs to be refined in a weapon-refining furnace to combine all of this popularity and fortune into one before it can function.]

Seeing this, Chen Han turned on his phone to record again and said into it, "The Five Emperors Sword is now a semi-finished product. Next, we just need to put it into the refining furnace to refine it, and the Five Emperors Sword will be fully formed."

Therefore, the refining furnace appeared once in the video before and then disappeared, but now it's time for it to appear again.

After that, he filmed the forging furnace and put the Five Emperors Sword into the furnace in the video.

After the flames rose in the furnace, the furnace's refining progress notification reappeared.

Knowing that the Five Emperors Sword wouldn't be finished so quickly, Chen Han took out his phone and started editing the news footage he had just filmed.

Half a day later, he finally heard the news that the game system had been completed.

He was also the first to get up and walk to the furnace.

Turn off the fire and open the refining furnace.

When he saw the new Five Emperors Sword inside the forging furnace, his eyes lit up, and he quickly took out his phone to take pictures of it.

He never expected that after being refined in the weapon-refining furnace, the new Five Emperors Sword would undergo such a miraculous change!
