Vol. 1 - Ch. 170 - White Jade Coins
When the package was opened, the first thing that caught everyone's eye was a pile of gleaming jade coins.
However, these coins were unlike ordinary jade coins. Within each piece, a blood-red hue occupied one half of the jade, while the other half remained pure white.
As the coins shifted, the blood Qi inside them seemed to swirl and flow, yet always maintained an equal division between red and white.
"Are these... white jade coins?" Chen Tianyu asked in surprise as he sensed the abundant blood Qi pulsing within them.
White jade coins were indeed a form of currency, with an exchange rate of one white jade coin to ten regular jade coins.
However, few people ever exchanged white jade coins for ordinary ones, simply because they were an incredibly rare resource in their own right.
Beside him, Chen Qingyu casually picked up one of the coins and silently activated her cultivation method. Within moments, the blood Qi contained in the coin dissipated, and a faint crack appeared on its surface, rendering it unusable.
After a brief assessment, Chen Qingyu spoke up.
"The blood Qi from this coin doesn’t linger in the body for long, but it can be directed freely. I'd need around two hundred of these to fully restore my blood Qi."
The others nodded thoughtfully, having gained a rough understanding of the white jade coins.
However, for cultivators still in the Blood Coagulation Realm, these coins were of little use—they couldn’t absorb the Qi to replenish themselves.
Worse, two hundred white jade coins, equivalent to two thousand jade coins, were required just to restore a single early-stage Innate Realm martial artist. That was an astonishing cost.
Even so, in critical situations, these coins could rapidly supply blood Qi, making them valuable as wartime resources.
A quick count revealed there were only about a hundred of them—roughly a thousand jade coins' worth. Not a great number, but rarity had its own value.
The coins were set aside, and the clan members turned to examine the rest of the package.
To their delight, it contained not only the white jade coins but also several plants they recognized: Tian Nan Star and Bodhi Pearls. These alone were worth twenty to thirty thousand jade coins. The rest consisted of mundane items—spare clothes, some dried rations.
After seeing everything, Chen Xingzhen had a guess.
