Shennong Dao Master

"Different ancient coins correspond to different realms. Upon entering, you will also encounter various challenges."

"The Ancient Burial Spirit Coin corresponds to the Primordial Birth Realm and the Void Realm."

"Platinum Rupee corresponds to the Third Realm."

"The Tao Domain Realm requires Five Emperors' Money."

Du Yun smiled: "It seems that this scholar has chosen the priest's method for the first trial."

The Preaching Scholar is almost all-encompassing, able to use any occupational method for screening.

"Zhao Xing, do you have any Po Zhu Ancient Coin?" Du Yun asked.

"No." Zhao Xing shook his head. In fact, he had prepared some, but he had to say no. He stumbled upon it by chance; how could he have prepared so fully?

Besides, Du Yun is wealthy. It's best to take advantage where you can.

A single Po Zhu Ancient Coin is worth five hundred million sea coins!

"I'll give you three." Du Yun immediately gestured to the scholar, Du Wen, beside him.

Soon after, Du Wen waved his hand, and three Po Zhu Ancient Coins appeared in front of Zhao Xing.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master, thank you, Mr. Du." Zhao Xing accepted the Po Zhu Ancient Coins.

Du Wen seems to be a relative of Du Yun's, closer than most Guest Elders, but not his offspring. Zhao Xing saw from the panel that this person's age was older than Du Yun's.

Many of Du Yun's possessions were held by Du Wen, for instance, the Po Zhu Ancient Coins given to Zhao Xing.

After giving Zhao Xing the Po Zhu Ancient Coins, Du Yun himself took out an exquisite ancient box and drew out a gold coin.

"Five Emperors' Money." A trace of well-timed envy appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes.

The Five Emperors' Money is a relic passed down from ancient times. It's rumored that back then, the Xuanling Star Domain was once unified by five Sacred Emperors.

The Five Emperors are collectively known as 'Emperor Rui', 'Emperor Yu', 'Emperor Luo', 'Ancestor Emperor', and 'Li Emperor'.

The Ancestor Emperor refers to the Void Ancestor, and the Five Emperors' Money was crafted by the Sacred Emperors of that time.

The legend says it wasn't intended for use as currency but rather to clandestinely conceal the power of the Ancient Gods within an unassuming coin in preparation for war.

It possesses some mystical effects, such as resisting possession by Yin Spirits or invasion by the Illusion Realm.

However, over time, its other effects have weakened, leaving only one that remains strong:

Holding one piece of the Five Emperors' Money automatically elevates one's Qi Fortune by two levels, and gathering all five pieces can enhance it by ten levels!

And this remains unchanged up until before the 30th calendar!

The Five Emperors' Money isn't sold at the Yuanhai Palace. Zhao Xing recalls from a past life that it wasn't until the Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm that he encountered the Five Emperors' Money, with a single 'Emperor Rui Coin' starting at a trillion Red Star Coins.

However, this was just 'child money'. If it were the 'Mother Coin' that could add three levels, the price would be even higher, with a complete set being astronomically expensive.

Zhao Xing had never seen the Mother Coin in his previous life; it's said to be lost. In Du Yun's possession is a 'Emperor Rui Coin', which is relatively the most commonly discovered type.

"Zhao Xing, I'm going in first."

"You can enter now, or wait until I come out to decide."

"Pavilion Master, I'll wait a bit longer."

Du Yun nodded, then holding the Five Emperors' Money, he jumped into the Cold Pond.

Zhao Xing stared intently, and saw Du Yun, holding the Five Emperors' Money, pay respects to the jellyfish-like Small World under the Cold Pond, before being absorbed in.

"During the era of the Yueluo Ancient Country, was the Five Emperors' Money common? They actually had such methods." Zhao Xing couldn't help but think, but he didn't jump in right away.

Instead, he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, paying attention to the situation with the Giant Sun avatar.

"Jing Yan, where are we now? How long until we return?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Bai Yang said it would be another seven or eight years before we can return; we're currently crossing the territory of the Ten Thousand River Demon Country." Jing Yan replied.

"Is the route prepared?" Zhao Xing inquired.

"How would I know?" Jing Yan shook his head: "I'm just a wastrel prince ranked over twenty thousand."

Zhao Xing: "..."

You speak without shame!

"Once I return and break through the Third Realm, my ranking will go up again!" Jing Yan clenched his fists: "When I enter the top ten thousand, I'll return to the empire."

"Old Zhao, Old Yu, you'll return with me when the time comes, and I'll appoint you as the Chief of the Inner Court once I ascend the throne."

"Get lost." Zhao Xing slapped him. Being the Chief of the Inner Court sounded too much like a eunuch's position.

Jing Yan still had the heart to joke, which indicated the situation was manageable.

Zhao Xing felt slightly reassured, allowing the Giant Sun avatar to continue resting while he focused all his heart power on the Scholar's Imperial Mausoleum.

Zhao Xing remained steady, waiting for two years and seven months, until the boundary alignment was nearly complete, before he jumped into the Cold Pond.

Clutching the Po Zhu Ancient Coin, he offered his respects to the jellyfish-like Small World, feeling a pull as his vision blurred and he got sucked in.

Just as he landed, before he could stand firm, he heard a faint voice: "Yueluo shines upon all directions, the Great Dao has its boundaries, if you're not of my kin, leave swiftly, don't linger~~"

A powerful force then propelled Zhao Xing backwards, and he found himself flying out involuntarily.

The next second, he was back inside the Cold Pond.

The three ancient coins were still in his hand. Zhao Xing checked his body and found no harm done.

After pondering briefly, he immediately checked the panel.

Then, within the panel's map feature, he saw a message.

[You have entered the 'Shangluo Daoist School', coordinates Taiyin 21, Cang'er 3, Heaven Hook 15. Yang Realm 5, Li Fire 43, Yimu 23.]

"Shangluo Daoist School?" Zhao Xing was stunned, "I entered this place, only to be immediately expelled? What's the reason?"

Zhao Xing was puzzled. Du Yun had entered for years without coming out; obviously, he and Du Yun didn't go to the same place. Different places have different challenges.

But in his challenge, why was he thrown out as soon as he entered?

"Could it be..."

Zhao Xing was uncertain. He tried offering his respects again.

The result was the same as before. He was expelled as soon as he entered, but remained unharmed.

"I understand now." After thinking it over for a moment, Zhao Xing suddenly realized, "I've encountered the classic spell of the Preaching Scholar, the 'eviction order'."
