Chapter 356 355: 1 Liangyi Coin Shakes the Entire Cheng

While the old City Lord was throwing a fit in the City Lord's Mansion, his mind addled by his racial traits, Jiang Qiu had already taken a Yin Yang Coin from his Dragon Spirit Secret Realm Space.

The Yin Yang Coin featured a black-and-white twin pattern. The moment it appeared, the temperature in the entire shop plummeted, as if a cold wave had descended. The sky outside dimmed as well, and countless passersby stopped in their tracks to look up. "Why did it get so dark? Is it going to rain?"

The single Yin Yang Coin was like a miniature vortex. The Nether Dark Spirit Charm escaping from within swirled around it, making it resemble a two-colored sun that constantly radiated an eerie glow.

The moment it appeared in the palm of Jiang Qiu's hand, countless customers turned to stare at him, dumbfounded. The shop's employees were also completely stunned.

DING DING~~~

The instruments for testing Spirit Charm all vibrated in unison. The blonde, blue-eyed Human Race waitress finally snapped back to her senses, staring in disbelief at the Yin Yang Coin in Jiang Qiu's hand. "This coin actually possesses such an astonishing Spirit Charm aura?!"

It was normal for currency to possess a Spirit Charm aura. After all, only items of value were suitable for circulation, and the currency of every Great Realm had its own unique characteristics.

Desolate Coins also possessed the aura of Kun Earth Spirit Charm and could, in essence, be used as Cultivation Resources. However, it was very difficult for Cultivators to absorb the Spirit Charm within, so they were more often used as an energy source for things like Teleportation Arrays.

But now, the aura of the Yin Yang Coin before them was so dense it was changing the surrounding environment. It could practically be called one of the Treasures of Heaven and Earth!

To possess an attribute of such quality, it had to have come from a Great Realm—and definitely not an ordinary one. It had to be from a Great Realm with a frighteningly high exchange rate.

"Respected noble, you... Please wait a moment. Let me estimate the value of this coin for you," the blonde, blue-eyed waitress said, losing her composure. She had never witnessed such a scene and fumbled to pull out a short testing rod—the very device specialized for testing Spirit Charm that had just been dinging. She carefully extended it. "This can give a rough estimate of the coin's value..."

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP—

When the rod specialized for testing Spirit Charm was brought out, the customers all put down the items in their hands. The employees crowded over, and a large number of passersby gathered at the shop's entrance.

They had all realized something unusual was about to happen in the Celestial Star Shop; after all, the City Lord's grandson had just been dragged out of there after wetting his pants.

And, just as they'd expected, a waitress who perfectly fit the Human Race's standards of beauty was now pointing a Spirit Charm testing rod at a masked man.

"My heavens, what is that person holding? Why does it look so mystical? Could it be some kind of ultimate treasure?"

"No way. Why would anyone reveal an ultimate treasure here? Nothing like that has ever appeared in our entire Little Oasis 777. There's no point in him showing it off."

"Then what else could it be? Look, they even need a Spirit Charm tester for it. He probably just wants to see how much Spirit Charm the treasure contains, right?"

"I think so too. Maybe the guy got lucky and found an ultimate treasure somewhere, so he came to the Celestial Star Shop to trade it for goods."

"Lucky bastard! How could he be so fortunate? Why don't I ever have that kind of luck? A treasure like that could probably buy a whole building and a lifetime supply of Oasis Fruits!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. What are a bunch of natives chattering about?"

A well-dressed middle-aged man inside the shop sneered. An instant hush fell over the crowd, as everyone felt a distinct, oppressive pressure emanating from the Spirit Charm he exuded. Without a doubt, he was a noble!

An aura that powerful would rank him among the top figures in all of Little Oasis City. He was a lofty personage, completely different from a second-generation brat like Ah Si.

An expert like that could decide the life or death of a native with a single word.

Everyone was too timid to speak, yet they hoped he would say something to broaden their meager horizons. And it seemed the noble wasn't an entirely unreasonable person; he raised his chin proudly and said:

"I've been to Great Oasis City, so I'll tell you the truth. That is something only the top nobles use. If I'm not mistaken, that is currency from the Outer Realm, and its value far exceeds the highest-tier currency of our Desolate Realm!"

HISS—

Everyone sucked in a sharp breath. They clutched their tattered clothes and continued to stare at the Yin Yang Coin in disbelief, though no one dared to cry out in amazement.

They had never even seen what a top-tier Desolate Coin looked like in their entire lives; most of the time, they couldn't even get their hands on a basic Desolate Coin.

They were accustomed to trading with sand ore and could never have imagined that Desolate Coins were divided into different tiers with such vast differences in value.

The few natives with a bit more worldly knowledge knew that a single higher-tier Desolate Coin could be exchanged for an entire building—just one coin!

As for the highest-grade Desolate Coins, those were the stuff of legends. Some said one could buy an entire Little Oasis, while others claimed it wouldn't be a problem to purchase a medium-sized oasis outright.

Now, hearing the noble say that this was an Outer Realm currency that surpassed even the highest-tier Desolate Coin, they were all dumbstruck. Just how unbelievably expensive must it be?!

Nobles from the Outer Realm were said to be on par with the most elite nobles here, and it was even rumored that most top-tier nobles had to bow to them in greeting.

DING DING DING—

While they were still in shock, a shrill alarm suddenly blared from the testing device in the waitress's hand. Its display screen flashed from white to green, then blue, then red—BANG!

An explosion rang out, and then everything fell silent. Everyone was speechless, their jaws agape. Even the noble who had just been educating the crowd was stunned, looking like an ignorant fool who had never seen the world.

Although his knowledge far surpassed that of the natives, and he had been to many places, in reality, he had only heard many rumors. He himself had never actually seen an Outer Realm currency of this caliber.

He had never seen a currency from a Great Realm, and even the currencies from other, smaller realms he had only ever seen powerful figures use from a distance.

To now personally witness a tester, capable of measuring Spirit Charm up to the level of ten million Desolate Coins, break from being overloaded beyond its limits—the shock was truly immense.

At this point, Jiang Qiu fully realized that the coin he had casually taken out contained far too much Spirit Charm and had caused a problem for the shop. Looking at the waitress, who was frozen in a daze, he felt apologetic. "My apologies. If you can't accept this here, I'll be leaving."

He was actually planning to go to the City Lord's Mansion to 'get some money to use,' treating it as compensation for the mental distress he had just been put through.

But just as he turned to leave, the sound of hurried footsteps came from deeper within the shop, followed by a voice filled with both panic and longing, "Respected Lord, please wait!

I am the branch manager of the Celestial Star Shop in Little Oasis City Number 777! I can contact Great Oasis City, perhaps I can be of assistance to you!"
