Chapter 83 Dining Out
No matter what, since the Sect Leader has spoken, the two finally managed to return alive to the courtyard at the foot of Kaiyang Peak.
Of course, they still have to hand in all the wood they’ve chopped in the past few days to the sect. Only then will the patrolling mage agree to take them up to Cloud Platform Peak.
Fortunately, Tie Dan managed to hide the most crucial ’Mountain Demon Skeleton’, so they didn’t suffer too much this time.
"Ah... what a disaster out of nowhere... Old Tie... get me some water... Old Tie..."
Tang Tong doesn’t have the ability to be reborn in blood. This time, he bumped his head hard, skinned his backside from the fall, and lay on the bed lamenting as soon as he returned.
Tie Dan couldn’t be bothered with him. He enjoyed the peace of silence and examined that Knife Coin under the sunlight.
Tang Tong said that this thing is called the Soldier Repelling Coin. It’s privately minted by the nine major sects and used as an internal currency, also a kind of Magic Artifact for warding off evil. It has the basic shape of a knife, sharp point, curved back, concave blade, with a round loop at the end. The blade has inscriptions, and the back is decorated with patterns. Because most of them have nine words engraved on the surface, it’s also called a ’Nine-character Blade’.
For example, the one in Tie Dan’s hand has the nine seal characters ’Nine Heavens Xuan Nu Ruyi True Monarch’ inscribed on it, and the reverse side has a Mystic Sect Exorcism Talisman, indicating that this Knife Coin is forged by the Beichen Sword Sect. It’s a genuine talisman Magic Artifact. Once True Qi is infused into the exorcism talisman, it can activate the talisman, and the coin can be thrown out as a talisman to annihilate those demons and evil spirits.
Or you can keep it in your hands as money to trade with fellow Mystic Sect cultivators for Divine Skill secret manuals, Miracle Spiritual Elixirs, and the like.
Because the Soldier Repelling Coin is a genuine Magic Artifact, if placed at home, it really can ward off evil and protect the house. Its initial purpose was as an Immortal Fate Token, given to mortals to end mortal ties, protect their homes, and as a token for seeking help from cultivators in case of emergencies.
