Chapter 640: The Daoist Wants You to Assist My Cultivation

Zhao Gongming felt curious in his heart.

Such a miraculous Spirit Treasure was truly unheard of.

One must know that the Mountain and River Map was the Dao-proclaiming treasure of Saint Mother Nuwa, and also a top-tier Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure; yet, it had been captured by a tiny gold coin.

To speak of this, it was simply an Arabian Nights tale.

Furthermore, since Yin Qi possessed such a Spirit Treasure, why did he still need to call for reinforcements?

Not only Shen Gongbao, but even Jin Ning quieted down, staring straight at Yin Qi.

Yin Qi feigned bitterness and said, "I will not hide it from you, Daoist Brother. This treasure is the Falling Treasure Gold Coin, a Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure. Below the Innate Supreme Treasure, it can cause any Spirit Treasure to fall, but at the same time, one must pay a huge price. If the situation had not been urgent earlier, I would not have used it."

"Hiss!"

Both Zhao Gongming and Shen Gongbao gasped in cold air.

This Falling Treasure Gold Coin was going to defy Heaven!

Jin Ning's eyes were also wide open, filled with disbelief; how could such a Spirit Treasure exist in the world?

However, upon hearing that a huge price had to be paid, their hearts clearly relaxed, and they subsequently felt that this was normal; otherwise, this Falling Treasure Gold Coin would truly be defying Heaven.

Shen Gongbao hurriedly asked, "What price is required?"

"Luck!"

Yin Qi said with a solemn expression, "Just by using it once, I felt nearly half of my own luck slip away. If I were to use it again, it would be the moment of my death and the dissipation of my Dao."

Luck is what the fate of a living being is tied to.

Once luck hits zero, one might truly choke to death just from drinking water.

In the original story, Xiao Sheng used the Falling Treasure Gold Coin to successively cause Zhao Gongming's Binding Dragon Rope and the gold coin itself to fall, and was subsequently beaten to death by Zhao Gongming with a whip.

Previously, he still had twenty-one zhang of luck, but now only eleven zhang remained.

Having consumed ten zhang of luck in one go, Yin Qi truly felt the pain.

The three of them, Zhao Gongming included, were shocked once again upon hearing this.

To actually need to consume one's own luck to use it, this Falling Treasure Gold Coin was truly wicked.

Previously, they still had some fantasies in their hearts, but now they were all gone.

Zhao Gongming was a kind-hearted person; he smiled awkwardly and said, "Daoist Brother, I am grateful for your help earlier. How about this, let us add each other on WeChat; if there is anything I can help with in the future, Daoist Brother, just say the word."

He had originally come to help fight, but in the end, Yin Qi had to consume nearly half of his luck to save him, so he felt somewhat apologetic.

"Daoist Brother, you are too kind. Come, let us add each other on WeChat. Daoist Shen, if you do not mind, let us add each other as well."

"Haha, it would be my honor."

Soon, Yin Qi added both Zhao Gongming and Shen Gongbao on WeChat.

Subsequently, Zhao Gongming proposed to take his leave.

Shen Gongbao also left; he had to return to Zhaoge to receive his reward.

City Lord Mansion.

A quiet courtyard.

Yin Qi and Jin Ning sat opposite each other; he had already lifted the physical seal on Jin Ning, but her Primordial Spirit was still under seal.

He said indifferently, "Fairy, you falling into my hands is a small matter, but losing Saint Mother Nuwa's Mountain and River Map is a major one. Have you thought about how you will answer for it?"

Jin Ning snorted coldly, "The Mountain and River Map is the Saint Mother's Dao-proclaiming treasure; do you actually want to keep it for yourself? Yang Shen, I advise you to be sensible and release me, otherwise the Saint Mother will never let you off."

Yin Qi shook his head and said, "Fairy, it seems you still do not understand the current situation, nor do you understand your own current predicament. Now is the time of the Investiture of the Gods; the Saint Mother cannot intervene directly, otherwise, it would be breaking the rules.

The Saint Mother acting earlier was already breaking the rules; I do not believe she will continue to do so.

Although the Saint Mother is a Saint, could it be that I have no one behind me?

As for the Mountain and River Map, although I cannot keep it for myself, I can offer it to others. I imagine that if the Saint Mother wants to reclaim it, she will have to pay a significant price."

Speaking to this point, he paused, then chuckled coldly: "As for you, Fairy, you neither completed your mission nor kept the Mountain and River Map. Even if you end up on the Investiture of the Gods in the future, if you cannot obtain the Saint Mother's forgiveness, your future will likely not be easy.

The Saint Mother only needs to say a word to Yuanshi Tianzun, and he could grant you the lowest-ranking divine position.

Once you reach the Heavenly Court in the future, you will not be able to live in peace either.

The Saint Mother is not exactly a broad-minded person; you should think about it carefully, Fairy."

Jin Ning's eyes narrowed, and she immediately shuddered.

She had followed Saint Mother Nuwa for millions of years and naturally understood the Saint Mother's character; usually, the Saint Mother was a very gentle and magnanimous person, but she was also unforgiving toward evil and somewhat petty.

Did she not try to topple the Yin Shang just because Yin Qi had been bewitched while offering incense and wrote a lewd poem?

"What do you want?"

After a moment of panic, Jin Ning quickly calmed down.

Since the other party said this, it meant he had not thought about killing her, and might even return the Mountain and River Map.

But in this, a price would certainly need to be paid.

"I want you to assist me in my cultivation!"

Yin Qi revealed his true intentions and said sternly, "The cultivation technique I practice has reached a critical stage and requires yin-yang union with a woman, and the higher the woman's cultivation, the better. If you agree, Fairy, I will not only release you, but I will also return the Mountain and River Map with both hands."

"This..."

Jin Ning was tempted, but she was also somewhat hesitant.

In the Primordial World, there is no such thing as chastity, because here the strong are respected, and nothing else matters.

In fact, the Primordial World is not lacking in cultivators who focus on dual cultivation.

There are both male and female cultivators.

As long as they do not dislike each other and can see eye to eye, they can dual cultivate for a period of time, and once they can no longer progress, they switch to someone else.

The reason Jin Ning hesitated was only because she felt displeased with Yin Qi in her heart.

Seeing that Jin Ning was tempted, Yin Qi felt a surge of joy and pressed on, saying, "Fairy, you have been stuck at the Golden Immortal Peak for a long time, haven't you? This Dual Cultivation Method of mine is peerless in Honghuang; perhaps you could use it to break through your bottleneck."

Jin Ning was completely tempted and gritted her teeth, saying, "Fine. I agree. But let's be clear: I can only dual cultivate with you for three days. After three days, you must release me and return the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and you must swear a Dao Oath."

Yin Qi said, "Fine, I can swear a Dao Oath. There is one more thing: my technique is special, and for the best results, both the man and the woman must be in mutual love."

"Mutual love? Are you joking?"

Jin Ning was both angry and amused.

If she could, she would love to kill him; how could she possibly fall in love with him?

Yin Qi said, "Fairy, do not be anxious; this matter is not difficult. I can take action to temporarily seal all of your memories and then implant a false memory for you. In this false memory, you and I are in mutual love."

Under normal circumstances, Jin Ning would never have agreed to this.

To let someone seal one's own memories—was that not being at the mercy of others?

But now, she was already at his mercy, so after thinking it over, Jin Ning gritted her teeth and nodded, saying, "Fine, I agree. But you must also swear that you will only seal my memories for three days, and you must not scheme against me or harm me in any form."

"I, Yin Qi, swear by my Yang Spirit..."

Yin Qi made a prompt decision and very decisively swore the Dao Oath.

Afterward, with Jin Ning's cooperation, he quickly sealed all of her memories and then implanted a false memory into her.

In this false memory, the two were childhood sweethearts who had grown up together, but because their parents did not approve, they had endured countless hardships and obstacles before finally coming together.

A very cliché story.
