Chapter 5: The Transmission of Copper Coins

"Dad, keep going, you can definitely do it," Yang Tong encouraged loudly

Upon returning home, Yang Tong still felt somewhat dazed. On one hand, he was excited about having encountered a true Earth-level powerhouse today; on the other hand, he was concerned about the beastmen's siege. Although Yang Tong had not witnessed the terror of a beastmen siege firsthand, he could glean some clues from what he had seen and heard today. The worried expressions of his father, Uncle Li, and others indicated that it must be quite perilous.

Yang Tong pondered for a moment, then lifted his foot and stepped on it. He felt a flash before his eyes, and when he regained his senses, he found himself facing a seemingly enormous round copper coin with a square hole. The coin clearly displayed seven cracks, one of which was shallower and shorter, slowly healing; it was the source of light.

Ladies and gentlemen, there is no need for excessive formalities. I have come to inform you of an important message. It has been confirmed that the next beast siege is not far off. I have urgently dispatched a batch of supplies from Luoxing City. As per the usual practice, these will be sold at a price 30% higher than the market rate. The additional 30% will be used to activate the defensive formation of the outer city, thereby reducing the intensity of the beast's assault. Furthermore, I will invite you all to ascend the city walls together to defend collectively and overcome this crisis with united efforts. " After Yan Huo finished speaking, he ascended to the second floor.

After lying down for a while, I sat up and took out the seven beast crystals I obtained today

After dinner, Yang Tong returned to his room, collapsed onto the bed, and felt utterly listless. It was not physical fatigue, but rather a profound sense of helplessness from within. He felt too weak, yet becoming stronger was not something that could be achieved merely by desire.

This is quite a novelty. The family is not impoverished, and Yang Tong usually has pocket money every day, but that is in Lingbi, typically around 2 Lingbi. However, in the county town, this amount of Lingbi is sufficient for half a month. On the other hand, Beast Crystals represent a different kind of hard currency, and the value of a single Beast Crystal can be compared to Yang Tong's pocket money for an entire year

The seven cracks on this mysterious copper coin resemble seven seals, firmly restricting its power. Coupled with the energy depletion during the traversal process, it is already a stroke of luck that this copper coin can awaken from its slumber under the infusion of beast crystal energy.

Suddenly, everything went dark before my eyes, and I collapsed onto the bed

Yang Tongyong and the * picture * book were engulfed by a sense of fear, as his own body seemed to be unresponsive.

According to the information received from Yang Tong, this treasure has already merged with its own soul, which essentially means it recognizes itself as the master. This is a tremendous good fortune, an extraordinary blessing. As long as this treasure is restored, one will possess the capital to establish a foothold in this world; at the very least, this coin capable of traversing time and space is certainly remarkable.

Hello, is anyone there? Where is this?" Yang Tong shouted, his voice echoed out, but there was no response for a long time

After obtaining this information, Yang Tong felt relieved. With a thought, his consciousness emerged from the sea of awareness, he opened his eyes and sat up. At this moment, the beast crystal in his hand had long since vanished.

Due to the damage to the copper coin, Yang Tong did not receive very detailed information, but he did obtain some insights. As long as one of the cracks is repaired, the power of the copper coin will be activated

This is merely the first seal, and to Yang Tong, it is simply unbelievable! Although he does not know what kind of treasure this copper coin is, nor its specific name, he still decided to give it a name: "Destiny-Altering Copper Coin." This is because it has changed the course of his life!

At the same time, this treasure also became Yang Tong's greatest secret. Regardless of who it is, including his own parents, Yang Tong would choose to keep it confidential. If this treasure were to be exposed, it would likely bring about the calamity of death and the destruction of his family.

Yang Tong did not know how powerful or miraculous the highest-grade spiritual tools could be. However, Yang Tong was certain that no matter how extraordinary the top-tier spiritual tools were, they could not compare to this copper coin that could carry souls through time and space.

Yang Tong discerned from her father's words his yearning for awakening, as well as a deep paternal love

Hmm, what should I buy? Food? That's a waste! A storage ring would naturally be the most ideal item, but unfortunately, the seven low-grade beast crystals I have on hand are simply not enough to afford it.

Energy, an abundance of energy! I need a large quantity of beast crystals or standard crystals. At this moment, Yang Tong was filled with confidence; he not only possessed knowledge far beyond that of ordinary people, but also held a treasure that ensured his survival. As the saying goes, with provisions in hand, one remains calm. At this moment, he was no longer filled with confusion about the future; he was immensely confident that he would surely awaken and become a true upper-tier individual

Suddenly, a faint light shot out from the copper coin, and before Yang Tong could react, it penetrated into his body, transmitting a simple message into his mind

When Yang Tong's consciousness awakened once again, he found himself in a pitch-black and empty space, with nothing around him. With his vision as a third-level martial artist in training, he could usually discern objects up to ten meters away, even in darkness. However, now he could see nothing at all, indicating that this was not his room, but rather an unknown place.

Oh, so that is County Chief Yan Huo, a Level 5 Earth Martial Spirit Master, one of the strongest individuals in our county. I wonder when I, your father, will awaken and become an Earth-level Martial Spirit Master. Then our lives would be much better; we wouldn't have to stay in this small county town. We could choose to move to Falling Star City, which is much safer than here, with experts everywhere. Moreover, only cities above Falling Star City have higher education institutions.

Yang Tong took Yang Tong home. On the way, Yang Tong curiously asked, "Dad, who was that person just now? They seemed so impressive."

To repair the most superficial of the seven cracks, a substantial amount of energy is required. Once repaired, it will unlock the potential for soul development, amplifying mental strength tenfold and consolidating soul power. As long as there is sufficient energy and soul power infused into the copper coin along with the diagram and book, it will gradually enhance Yang Tong's original soul.

In one hand, he held four beast crystals, while in the other hand, he held three beast crystals. He was slowly rotating them, simultaneously examining the beast crystals and contemplating how to best utilize them.

After Yang Tong digested this information, he suddenly realized. He recalled the scene from his previous life after saving someone who had fallen into a coma, and the root cause of his reincarnation was precisely this copper coin before him

Just as Yang Tong was feeling somewhat anxious and restless, a sudden burst of golden light appeared ahead, and a bridge of light emerged from the pitch-black space, extending directly towards Yang Tong.

This is the space of one's own consciousness, a dwelling place for the original soul of intelligent life.

"It's up to you now, Fatty," said Yang Tong and Scar, patting Fatty on the shoulder.

Only with sufficient strength can one protect the most beloved parents in this lifetime and safeguard this home

At that moment, Yang Tong suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as a mysterious force of attraction emanated from within him. Yang Tong could sense that the seven beast crystals in his hand were the source of this force. The crystals were slowly disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, indicating that the energy within the crystals was being absorbed
