Transmigrating into Haotian, ruling the Three Pure Ones and pacifying the primordial world.
Chapter 227 Tongtian: I saw you throwing money around as soon as I walked in!
Feeling the small black tower that resonated with his own aura, Xuan Tian was deeply moved. It turned out that his father had prepared everything for him long ago.
"Your subject thanks Your Majesty," Xuan Tian said slowly. "This tower shall be called the True Martial Tower."
Haotian raised an eyebrow: "Why don't you rename the Seven Star Sword to the True Martial Sword? That way you'll also have the Three Treasures of True Martial."
Xuan Tian was taken aback for a moment, then bowed and said, "Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Father Emperor."
Yaochi glared at Haotian. This sword was bestowed by her master; how could she arbitrarily change its name?
Haotian gave her a look, indicating that his master wouldn't care about such trivial matters.
"Kong Xuan, you wield the Haotian Sword!" The golden sword, gleaming coldly, landed in front of Kong Xuan. In front of Jin Peng was a halberd, exuding unparalleled domineering power.
In front of Lu Er were three top-grade innate spiritual treasures—staffs—plus a suit of armor.
In front of the ten little golden crows were nine-grade white lotuses, plus a round plate with golden crow patterns engraved on it.
"This is..." Bo Huang murmured, "The Ten Directions Annihilation Formation?"
"Indeed, this item can amplify the power of your Solar True Fire, making it the most suitable spiritual treasure for you."
"Thank you, Father!" Bo Huang and the others bowed deeply. Their father had given them spiritual treasures after their breakthroughs, and now he was giving them more. They could hardly repay him.
"Ling Shuo, you are all quiet by nature and dislike noise, so I have crafted these heart-protecting bells for you. They can be used for both offense and defense, making them the perfect fit."
Twelve tinkling bells flew over, imbued with the chilling energy of the moon, and were placed on the wrists of the Twelve Moon Goddesses.
"Thank you, Father and Mother."
"Sit down." Haotian nodded. "Now that my Heavenly Court has established the Merit Merchant Guild, the items traded among the immortals in the future will be merit coins."
Everyone nodded. Although less than a thousand years had passed, the Merit Coins had already spread throughout the prehistoric world, and those present were basically all meritorious.
Even Longji, who had never left the Heavenly Court, gained a lot of merit because the Ancestral Dragon Pearl gathered the essence of the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon and protected the Nine Provinces for a hundred years.
Yaochi smiled gently: "Senior brother has accumulated much merit; perhaps you'd like to give the children some pocket money?"
"Why not?" Haotian chuckled, but Yaochi suddenly frowned, closed her eyes, and then opened them again. A voice rang in his ear, "Senior Brother Sanqing is here!"
Haotian looked outside the palace and saw three obscure auras hovering outside the South Heavenly Gate, intentionally concealed and not attracting the attention of the other saints.
The two exchanged a glance. Yaochi's lips moved slightly, and Haotian's eyes flashed with understanding. So she went to the Merit Merchant Guild first!
The space rippled silently as three figures, one old, one middle-aged, and one young, appeared in the Longde Palace.
Tongtian's eyes lit up instantly, staring intently at the back of Haotian's head where merit coins were piled up like mountains. He had never seen so much merit before!
With a wave of his hand, Longji, Kongxuan, and the others each had one hundred million merit coins in front of them: "Go, Xuantian will lead the five hundred spirit officials to the Zhou Tian starry sky, and you will each perform your duties."
"Your subject/disciple takes his leave!"
Watching the younger generation leave, the Three Pure Ones sat down to one side, while Tongtian clicked his tongue in praise: "Junior Brother, the first thing I saw when I arrived was you throwing money around!"
Haotian rolled his eyes at him and snorted, "I can't help it, I have so much merit, I just like to let the children play with it!"
"Since there are so many, how about giving some to this humble Taoist priest?" Tongtian grinned slyly.
"It's always the elders who give gifts to the younger generation. You're the senior brother, you should give me a gift!" Haotian looked back with a smile, and Tongtian shut up sullenly and sat back down.
Space was divided and shrouded by a barrier. Apart from the five of them, there were no outsiders here. Even Long Ji and the others from earlier were unaware of the arrival of the Three Pure Ones.
"As the three senior brothers have requested, Yaochi has already told me. Unfortunately, it's not for sale. No amount of merit can buy a supreme innate treasure!" Haotian said decisively before the three could even speak.
Tongtian chuckled, "Junior brother, that's too absolute. You possess many supreme treasures; what harm would it do to sell one to me?"
Haotian spoke slowly, "The innate supreme treasure has a status equivalent to a saint and can suppress destiny. My Heavenly Court is a place where cause and effect intersect, so it is naturally useful."
"Even after Junior Sister Yaochi attains enlightenment, she cannot be without a protective treasure. We are all saints, so we naturally know the power of innate treasures. Senior Brother, that is a complete law."
Tongtian sighed. Now that things had come to this point, he could no longer pretend to be confused.
"Since you're not selling, how about leasing?" Tongtian stared sharply at Haotian.
Haotian straightened up and said seriously, "Senior brother, have you thought this through? Renting a Primordial Treasure requires a considerable amount of merit."
Especially for various spiritual treasures, renting them is almost equivalent to gaining merit for free.
"My merits are naturally insufficient, but I still have two older brothers!" Tongtian smiled smugly and nudged Laozi and Yuanshi with his shoulder.
Yuanshi pushed him away with disdain, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Renting a supreme innate treasure to suppress the fortune was ultimately just a drop in the ocean!
For a great sage's religion, when things are peaceful, its fortune is naturally stable. But once something happens, if there is a supreme innate treasure to suppress it, its fortune will stabilize. If not, its fortune will flow away like a river, never to return.
At that time, even if the great teachings of the sages still existed, without the flow of fortune, they would be like a rootless duckweed, and even the sages' enlightenment would be hindered.
The fact that the Tongtian Jie Sect lacked a supreme innate treasure to suppress destiny remained a thorn in the side of the three brothers.
"A supreme innate treasure that suppresses the fortune of a major sect should not be moved lightly unless absolutely necessary." Haotian tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "Senior brother, you can certainly rent it, but even if all the merits of the three of you are combined, how long can you rent it?"
Yuanshi remained silent, and beams of spiritual light flew out from his sleeves, along with various acquired spiritual treasures and divine materials. Laozi's side was filled with gourds, emitting a fragrant aroma.
Haotian immediately became interested, noticing that Tongtian had taken out significantly less than the two of them.
"I have many disciples," Tongtian said with an embarrassed smile.
"It seems that the three senior brothers have emptied the dojo!" Haotian scanned with his divine sense and knew that the three of them had brought out all their wealth.
Five rare treasures acquired through the ages, and three gourds of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir—what a grand gesture!
"The Eight Views Palace and Jade Void Palace will no longer be there?" Yaochi was also surprised. All kinds of spiritual treasures and elixirs were available. Even the elixirs of their Heavenly Court were sometimes obtained by exchanging spiritual fruits and Shouyang Mountain.
Haotian gave Tongtian a deep look. Back then, he and his master had discussed in Zixiao Palace how to make the West prosper. Who knew that with his interference, the Western land veins had recovered to 70%, but the Jie Sect was the real headache.
However, that Eastern Blue Lotus Treasure Flag is ultimately a hidden danger!
"You calculate how much merit this is worth." Tongtian scratched his head, knowing that his elder brothers had given everything they had to help him. "I still have some merit on me."
Haotian sighed, his divine sense swept over it, and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. It really was a good thing: "It's worth about 20 billion."
Yuan Shi paused for a moment: "The rental price of a Primordial Treasure..."
"A sage needs hundreds of billions of merits to attain enlightenment, and a supreme innate treasure would cost five hundred billion to sell. A hundred billion merits is enough to rent a supreme innate treasure for one epoch," Haotian said calmly.
"This price..." Laozi paused, "It is indeed fair."
After all, the time it takes to complete a Yuan Hui (a period of time in Chinese mythology) is enough for the disciples of the Jie Sect who haven't broken through to the Heavenly Immortal realm to die of old age.
"Junior brother, the five hundred billion merits you mentioned as a supreme innate treasure, my two brothers and I can still manage to produce them if we grit our teeth." Yuanshi closed his eyes, and a golden wheel of merits appeared behind his head, illuminating the Dragon Virtue Palace.
"Second Brother..." Tongtian's heart trembled. He never expected that his second brother would go to such lengths for him, not only emptying out the Jade Void Palace but also taking out the merits he had accumulated since establishing the sect and giving them to him.
A golden wheel of merit also lit up behind Laozi's head, more than that of Yuanshi, while Tongtian's was several times smaller, appearing particularly bleak under the illumination of Taiqing Yuqing.
Tongtian's eyes were red with emotion. He grabbed Laozi and Yuanshi's sleeves and cried, "Big brother, second brother, I was wrong. I will never secretly curse you old fogies and petty people again."
