Chapter 918: Chapter 49: Purple Gold Ancient Coin, Hongyun Coin, Heavenly Fortune Arrives! (Part 3)
"Hiss, is this... Purple Gold Ancient Coin?"
Zhao Xing picked it up and took a closer look.
The ancient coin was about the size of a palm. Apart from being slightly larger, it was no different from other coins, with a round outer shape and square inner hole.
One side of the coin bore the words [Changyi], while the other side bore the words [Heavenly Bestowed].
Zhao Xing had learned the script from the Ancient Times to communicate with the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird back then.
So he recognized it at a glance.
"The Purple Gold Ancient Coin forged by the Ancient Divine Court during the Xia Dynasty!"
"This is the Fortune Coin issued by Emperor Zhuanxu."
"Hahaha, Yan Six’s fortune is truly amazing!"
"To be able to find treasure like this!"
Zhao Xing couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Fortune Coins, when owned, could temporarily increase fortune!
The Ancient Divine Court granted officials fortune by issuing such Purple Gold Ancient Coins and Hongyun Coins.
However, today’s historians generally believe that this method is too outdated.
One must possess them to gain fortune; does it mean one must carry wealth to a fight?
That would be too ostentatious!
Moreover, what if it gets stolen?
Therefore, historians believe the Ancient Divine Court was relatively backward!
It was far less advanced than the current dynasty!
Subsequent dynasties after Xia did not issue such coins.
This further substantiated the point.
Moreover, the craft of imbibing fortune into coins has been lost.
In any case... their numbers are very scarce.
However, Zhao Xing knew that this was not the case at all.
The Xia Dynasty was a dynasty capable of Ascension!
The Purple Gold Ancient Coin was not something that needed to be carried on oneself to increase fortune as current historians claim.
"Its function is much greater." Zhao Xing grinned, "Let’s quickly see if there are more."
He carefully searched again, and in another box, he unexpectedly found another Purple Gold Ancient Coin.
However, this ancient coin had some differences in its inscription.
One side read [Zhuanxu], and the other [Mountain and Sea].
"Another one!" Zhao Xing excitedly slapped his thigh.
"Such good stuff, and the King of Xier didn’t know how to use it, just letting it sit here collecting dust?"
In fact, during this period, there weren’t many people who knew how to use Purple Gold Ancient Coins and Hongyun Coins.
Those who did refused to speak of it, considering the usage a top secret inheritance.
"First, one must be able to read, to know which ancient coin it is, and further understand how to use it, as each ancient coin has a different effect."
"The King of Xier really suffered from a lack of education."
Zhao Xing contentedly pocketed the coins, and after finding no third piece, quickly left.
...
At the Star Palace, Zhao Xing was also enjoying himself soaking in the Primordial Soul Liquid.
"Changyi coin, Heavenly Bestowed version."
"Zhuanxu coin, Mountain and Sea version."
"Both types of Purple Gold Ancient Coins have multiple effects."
"The first is the legendary effect of increasing fortune when carried, but this requires a unique Secret Technique to be activated."
"Second, they can be used for divination; the best medium in the Turtle Coin Divination Skill’s Money Divination Skill is ancient coins and Hongyun Coins."
"Aside from that, different versions have other detailed effects!"
"The Heavenly Bestowed Changyi can be used for treasure hunting."
"Changyi Changyi, meaning your desires come true, you can find any treasure you want, gathering multiple ancient coins can even grant Heavenly Gifted Life!"
Who wouldn’t be happy with a life-extending fortune, especially Mr. Zhao?!
"Zhuanxu Mountain and Sea, Zhuan referring to a round head and fat brain, stacking the grandness of mountains and seas, means for those with abundant fortune, carrying it adds an extraordinary amount of fortune, the most among various versions!"
The two methods to activate Purple Gold Ancient Coins are not hard to find.
Zhao Xing’s Money Divination Skill contained one such method.
"First, have the clone bring it back."
Even if the clone activated it, it wouldn’t be useful, because clones don’t have fortune.
Carrying it on a clone would have no effect either.
Good things, of course, should be sent back to the original body for proper safekeeping.
In just two days, both ancient coins reached the Star Palace.
Yet Zhao Xing did not immediately use them.
Since his original body was staying here, using it would be a waste, plus using multiple coins together differs greatly from using a single one.
But although it can’t be used now, it will be of great use in the future.
"If I use it in the Dragon Court Ancient Land, I will surely acquire greater treasures."
In Pinghai State, there aren’t many treasure spots; if Zhao Xing were to seek treasure, there would only be one possibility, heading to the court’s or Prince Liang’s Treasure Vault.
Does he even need to calculate? Zhao Xing surely knows the court’s Treasure Vault holds good things, and Prince Liang still has a Divine Artifact.
"The most suitable place to unleash them would be the Dragon Court Ancient Land."
"King of Xier, you died well!"
With this experience, Zhao Xing also began to consider other rebel kings.
"The Southern Barbarians possess many such ancient treasures; those rebel kings following Prince Liang to fight the various tribes of the Southern Barbarians are the best targets for confiscation."
"They might have spiritual energy items or things like Purple Gold Ancient Coins and Hongyun Coins on them."
...
On May 15th, after killing the King of Xier, Zhao Xing turned his attention to the military officers under Prince Liang who had fought the Southern Barbarians.
Particularly the civil and military officials who followed Prince Liang through Yin You Mountain, waging war against the Ancient Sect.
Zhao Xing paid special attention to them.
However, these leaders themselves were quite powerful, and were constantly on the move under Prince Liang’s orders.
It wasn’t until May 27th that Zhao Xing found a suitable opportunity.
Heze Prefecture, Dongze County.
Dongze County was filled with mountains and waterways, and had heavy dampness.
According to Zhao Xing’s Six Qi theory, this region was inherently deficient in yang energy and had an abundance of yin energy.
For two-thirds of the year, the skies were dim and overcast with rainy weather.
"Illusion Cave Heaven."
Zhao Xing gazed down from the sky at a peak ahead.
"The Huan You King is one of the thirty-three Governor Kings of the Military Realm."
"He is also a powerful Sealing King overseeing the Illusion Cave Heaven and the Huan You Army."
