The coin was small and round with one popping word in the middle. The size was nearly the same as a regular pebble; its color was green mixed with Azure.

The coin was small and insignificant, yet it could not be ignored by anyone that had their gaze on it. And while this one little coin had no real value, it could be used to buy an entire continent if the owner desired.

"T-T-That's!!!" Caiyi's hands trembled violently as she pointed at the little coin. "A Celestial Coin!" her voice was filled with shock and bewilderment, confused as to how this seemingly normal-looking little guy had obtained something so valuable.

Celestial Coin is a type of currency that only those belonging to the Celestial Family, the Tian Family, can hand out.

Celestial Coins are not meant to be used for buying things and is mainly used as something like a favor-returning-ticket, allowing the holder of the Celestial Coin to request for a favor from anyone within the Celestial Family with a low chance of being denied.

Dreamed of going fishing with the Celestial Emperor? Ever thought of chatting with the Celestial Empress while sipping on tea? What about an exclusive, romantic dinner with Tian Yi? Well, all of these dreams will no longer be a dream as long as one has a Celestial Coin!

However, as wonderful the Celestial Coin sounds, getting one from the Celestial Family was harder to achieve than ascending to godhood, even reaching the apex of cultivation.

In the history of mankind, there have only been seven people in the entire Universe who has ever had the chance to obtain the Celestial Coin from the Celestial Family, and all seven of which happens to still be alive and working either side-by-side or within the Celestial Family.

And each Celestial Coin should have a marking with the name of whoever handed it out, and in this case, Tian Yi's first name, Yi, was engraved in the middle of the coin.

Tian Yi looked at the two girls with puzzlement. Why are they looking so shocked? His mother had told him that this was something valuable and that he should only use it when he feels extremely grateful towards that person, but she had never mentioned about its uses or what the meaning behind giving away such a coin was.

"S-S-Shuyi! W-W-W-Where?!" Caiyi pushed the waitress beside her away and grabbed him by the shoulders, pushing her face toward his. "Where and how did you get this coin?!"

Startled, even shocked at her actions, Tian Yi forcefully swallowed the saliva stuck in his throat. "Ummm… I-I-It had fallen from the sky a few days ago and hit me on the head while I was walking around…"

"What?! His Highness was here a few days ago?!" Caiyi instantly came to that conclusion. Nearly everybody in this Universe knew of Tian Yi and his disappearance by now, so it was no surprise she believed that he might have traveled here and dropped the coin by accident.

"Shuyi, you imbecile!" Caiyi slapped him on the head, regretting that decision a second later. "My heavens! What is your head made of?!" she cried out in pain with a red palm.

"W-What's the matter, Sister Caiyi?" Tian Yi ignored the painless slap and asked her.

"Do you have any idea what this coin is?! How can you do something as disrespectful and blaspheme as giving it away for some food?!" Her voice was loud, but she was not truly mad at him.

"Huh?" Clearly clueless, Tian Yi's eyes widened. "I-Is that not money?" he asked her.

"What money?! This is a treasure— no, it's a dream-fulfilling treasure!" she said while rubbed her temples. "This is something even money cannot buy!"

Caiyi looked at the coin for a moment, turning silent. Then turning to look at the dumbfounded waitress, she cleared her throat. "Forget it! Forget about this coin! Forget about the food, I'll pay them for you, but in return, I will be keeping this coin as a payment!" she said to Tian Yi with a somewhat red face.

The waitress witnessing her shameless actions nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood. If Caiyi didn't intervene, she just might have had obtained a Celestial Coin, and one with His Highness's name, at that!

"That coin…" The waitress glared at Caiyi with a dangerous gaze. "Under what authority or qualifications do you have that allows you to keep it? Forget about His Highness; if His Majesty finds out that someone out there had illegally obtained a Celestial Coin, having your soul exterminated would be the least of your worries!" she said to her in a low growl.

Caiyi looked at waitress with a blank expression before smiling. "Hmph! Who do you think this young lady is?! If I do not have the qualifications, then nobody under this Heaven would!" she said with a puffed chest.

"You— !!!"

The waitress wanted to say something but was interrupted by Caiyi. "Who said I would be keeping it for myself? I will personally return this coin to His Highness when I have the chance! Leaving it in the hands of someone like Shuyi is too dangerous! What would happen if someone were to forcefully take it away from him? He's quite fragile-looking, after all."

Caiyi's gaze narrowed at the waitress when she spoke of the coin being stolen. "And as a devoted follower of the Sacred Heaven's Temple, who else besides this esteemed-self have the qualifications to deliver it to His Highness, hm?"

The waitress gritted her white teeth, creating grinding sounds. Her gaze looked at the coin hidden underneath Caiyi's grasp and a fire burned in her eyes. 'I must have that coin!' she told herself.

Caiyi grinned the moment she saw the fire in the waitress's eyes. "Are you sure you want to do this? This restaurant might be destroyed because of your greed."

"Restaurant? I will gladly destroy this place and take a few lives for that coin!"

The waitress roared, controlling the Spirit Qi in the surroundings. A strong wind suddenly picked up inside the room, coiling around the waitress like a tornado, shredding everything that came near her.

"A Heavenly Spirit stage Cultivator, huh?" Caiyi instantly saw through her strength, dumbfounding the waitress.

"What? Did you think I was joking when I said that I was a Cultivator?" Caiyi's eyes began to glow brightly, her robes fluttered along with the wind that surrounded her. But unlike the waitress's fierce and out-of-control Spirit Qi, her's was gentle and calm like a gentle spring breeze.

The waitress's eyes widened with shock, her jaw dropping to the floor, and the Spirit Qi around her suddenly weakened. "Y-You were an Immortal all along?!" she cried out with fear in her voice.

"Immortal? Although I am far from being a true immortal, I am indeed in the Ancient Immortal stage!" Caiyi burst out laughing from feeling the superiority.

The waitress wanted to turn around and run, but… when there was a gap of four realms between the two, where was there to run?
