Chapter 28, Seeking the Elixir
Tongtian asked, "Bai Jin, what is the name of this treasure?"
Bai Jin quickly replied, "Reporting to Master, this treasure is called Treasure Money. Disciple chanced upon it while looking for tea trees in Wuyi Mountain."
Tongtian laughed heartily, "Your filial piety has indeed rewarded yourself." He didn’t doubt this explanation. Innate Spiritual Treasures fall into the hands of those fated to have them. No one can know their location before their emergence, so naturally, Bai Jin couldn’t possibly have gone to search for it intentionally.
Bai Jin humbly said, "It’s all thanks to Master and Master’s blessings."
Treasure Money is indeed an interesting treasure. It can consume Qi Fortune to forcibly take others’ Magic Treasures, but taking a Magic Treasure once would result in the loss of much Qi Fortune, leaving the remaining Qi Fortune in disarray. Such a treasure is better off not being kept! It is of no use to you," Tongtian said, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
Master wants to confiscate my Magic Treasure? How can this be?! Bai Jin hurriedly defended Treasure Money, "Master, the reason for this is because the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber is too precious. Forged by the Essence Qi of seven Great Witches, it has surpassed the lethality of most Innate Spiritual Treasures, it’s understandable that a great cost is paid.
Also, Eldest Senior Brother is not the owner of Treasure Money after all, so Treasure Money was a bit greedy. If I were to use it, I estimate only a third of the Qi Fortune would be required!"
Tongtian chuckled, "A third? Are you sure?!"
Bai Jin sheepishly smiled, "Half, at most a little half, and it definitely won’t cause any Qi Fortune upheaval." He looked eagerly at Master, Master, please give the Treasure Money back to me!
Tongtian laughed heartily, "Since you are confident in controlling it, then the Treasure Money is yours to keep! But you must use it wisely, a good use of this treasure benefits yourself, misuse is self-harm."
