Chapter 297: Chapter 230: The Tomb Buried the Gods (III) (First Update)_1
“This little toad has hidden capabilities?” Jiang Hui was stunned, instantly feeling a sense of surprise and delight.
As everyone knows, such features are generally considered good things.
However, he remembered not detecting this feature the last time he used his Surveillance Technique.
Of course, that might be because his Surveillance Technique is of a low tier, only being at the beginner level. It is good enough to get a glimpse of an elephant through a crack in the wall but falls short when it comes to detailed exploration.
“Come over here, little one.” Jiang Hui smiled faintly, beckoning the Sun-swallowing Golden Toad over with a wave.
The little creature, which was already moving in his direction, seemed to cheer up when it heard Jiang Hui’s call. Holding a small wooden box in its mouth, it hopped over to Jiang Hui in a few steps and started to nuzzle his feet affectionately.
“Kerplunk…”
The wooden box, made entirely of pure wood, fell, emitting a sound reminiscent of clattering coins.
“Give, master, yours, give, give…”
The little toad puffed its cheeks, producing a cute, milk-drinking-baby voice as it dropped the little wooden box by Jiang Hui’s feet.
Watching the Little Golden Frog’s actions, Jiang Hui couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Thank you, Little Gold.” he said, laughing as he waved his hand to open the wooden box, and looked inside.
But no dazzling brilliance emanated from it as he’d imagined…
Inside the box were seven seemingly ancient and worn copper coins, all very tiny and about the size of a one-cent coin. They were engraved with images resembling mountains, rivers, and lucky symbols. The designs were vivid, resembling miniature carvings.
“Item Name: Blessing Copper Coins”
“Item Description: These are derived from the hidden ability of the Sun-swallowing Golden Toad. They can be worn on the body and have the capability to increase one’s fortune to a certain extent.”
“Friendly Reminder: The Sun-swallowing Golden Toad cannot use this item itself.”
“Friendly Reminder: Fortune is tied to opportunity.”
“Friendly Reminder: The higher the level of the Blessing Copper Coins, the more significant the effect. Similarly, the more Blessing Copper Coins you have, the more noticeable the effect.”
The basic information about these copper coins appeared before Jiang Hui’s eyes.
He quickly skimmed through it, feeling taken aback.
Even these tiny copper coins had such power. If a person were to wear a full array of these, wouldn’t they be showered with luck and fortune everywhere they go, effectively altering their destiny?!
Keep in mind, even the most average life, nurtured with countless resources, could flourish and become hearty.
No wonder the little toad was restricted from using it. If it were able to produce and use it itself, perhaps in no time, the little frog would have to change its name to the Toad of Fortune. Its body laden with Blessing Copper Coins would jingle wherever it went.
And if a few pieces of meat were added to its head, wouldn’t it effectively be the reincarnation of Taoist Duo Bao?
As the saying goes, Taoist Duo Bao’s original form is actually a three-legged toad.
Thinking about this, Jiang Hui couldn’t help picturing the scene in his mind, causing him to burst out laughing.
He absolutely believed that he could train Little Gold in this direction in the future.
A few years later, the reputation of Taoist Duo Bao would resonate throughout Heaven and Earth.
After daydreaming for a while, Jiang Hui collected his thoughts.
Bending over, he picked up the seven Blessing Copper Coins.
As the coins came into his hand, he felt a faint coolness, smooth like jade to the touch.
Jiang Hui contemplated for a moment, if the little toad couldn’t use these items itself, then he might as well bestow them to others.
Tu Wa Zi, Gu Chen, Lin Zhuang, and others could each have one, increasing their fortune a little, which is better than nothing.
…
…
Years went by in the blink of an eye.
Unconsciously, two to three days had passed rapidly.
On this particular day.
Jiang Hui was resting, deep in a game of chess with Lord Zhou in his dream, the game reaching a deadlock.
In his perception.
A violent uproar came, faintly accompanied by the roars and howls of creatures.
“Is this… the beginning of the battle among the Seven Gods?”
He was instantly startled awake, his eyes burning brightly like two mysterious and ancient stars, gazing in the direction of the sound.
This was a primordial place, a forbidden area for humans, known to the world as Xiling Beast Mountain.
At first glance, there were endless, massive tombs standing tall. Although basked in sunlight, Jiang Hui could feel a heavy layer of death energy enveloping the surrounding air, ice-cold as if a harsh winter chill was gnawing at one’s bones…
This kind of death energy, called Great Yin, is hard for ordinary beings to sense.
Legend has it that this place harbors the remains and souls of some immortal beings, lingering for an eternity, waiting for the day they might resurrect and descend upon the earth.
Jiang Hui had specifically studied this place a while back, but he found no residual immortal souls or any other discoveries.
But this time was different.
He spotted an unusual, small altar secluded in a corner.
Previously unnoticed, it now revealed its presence.
The altar was covered in pitch black, shrouded in a faint mist, surrounded by mysterious seals, filled with an enigmatic and ancient aura that seemed to traverse through the ages.
On the altar, a crystal skull, a bloody eyeball, a golden hand bone were respectively placed. And on the side, there was a uniquely shaped bone fragment.
Jiang Hui’s eyebrows rose slightly.
If he wasn’t mistaken, that peculiarly shaped fragment should be a part of the Ten Thousand Spirits Map which recorded the extraordinary power of the Original Truth. It was a treasure that was difficult to come by.
