Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 25 [Fabricating History], The Ancient Golden Toad
Whether it's the celestial soul, the terrestrial soul, or the human soul, they are all crucial parts of a person.

Su Ji was born with a human soul and spirit, and had recently cultivated a celestial soul and spirit. Now that he had heard of the existence of an earthly soul and spirit, he was naturally very interested.
From an outsider's perspective, Su Ji cultivates the Path of Profound Mystery, his official job is to be a day-traveling spirit soldier, and he also has to implement the God of Wealth plan. If he were to get involved with earth spirits and souls, it would seem like he's trying to bite off more than he can chew.

In fact, Su Ji was very confident at this moment.

Because he has comprehended the profound mysteries of the "Sun and Moon Heavenly Light Vacuum Method", he already has a considerable "pillar" in his Heavenly Soul Spirit realm. In the future, he only needs to improve his cultivation and lay a solid foundation.

With the help of the Heavenly Strategist, his work as a wandering spirit soldier did not affect his cultivation, and the God of Wealth plan only needed to solve the key points.

He had not yet taken human form, so his path to cultivation was still far off.
With the appearance of the walking corpses, he finally had the idea of ​​cultivating his physical body and spirit, not only to improve his physical combat power, but also to consider transforming into human form.

If it remains only two or three inches long, does it have to turn into a three-inch tiny person?
Only by first establishing a solid foundation in physical body and spirit can one cultivate into a lesser demon, or even transform into a normal human form.

If Su Ji wants to take action, he should at least obtain a cultivation technique first, which may not be possible until the City God Temple Fair next month at the earliest.

"Since that's the case, let's make some preparations in advance..."

Since Su Ji chose to protect Zhang Xiaolian together with the local earth god, he naturally had his own agenda, and his situation changed from passive to active.

At the beginning, if Zhang Xiaolian hadn't been thinking about the golden toad spitting out money, she wouldn't have been able to imbue the dream golden toad with such mystery. Su Ji later simply went along with the trend and fabricated an identity.

Now, the golden toad in the moon is just a phantom. In order to make the phantom of the golden toad develop in the direction that Su Ji wants, it is necessary to take the initiative to intervene.

Before long, Yantianchou deduced several contingency plans from multiple perspectives, including the content of the plans, the methods of implementation, and the corresponding risk assessments.

After a moment's thought, Su Ji chose the option with the lowest risk—[fabricating history].

Even in the world before Su Ji's transmigration, many historical events were only briefly mentioned, and much more was forgotten in the long river of history.

This place is not just a rural area; it was also the site of a great upheaval long ago.

According to Zhongliu Shenlingbing, there was once a great river in this place in ancient times, but it disappeared due to an earthquake, leaving only the small river that is about ten feet wide in front of us.

The gilded bronze bull's head had been buried underground for countless years, with no wishes or prayers attached to it, indicating that it had long been forgotten by the world.

Even if he claimed that the golden toad was a divine object from the same era as the gilded bronze bull's head, probably no one could find evidence to refute it, let alone Zhang Xiaolian, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Therefore, Su Ji manipulated the materialized golden toad to appear in front of Zhang Xiaolian and, with the help of the power of the Heavenly Mandate, emitted a "Silent Sound".

"Zhang E, now that you've figured out my background, let's have a frank and open discussion!"

Su Ji didn't want to call Zhang Xiaolian by her given name directly, so he used "E," a more elegant term for women in this society, instead.

As for Xi Yi, it comes from the Daoist classic, which says, "What cannot be seen is called Yi, and what cannot be heard is called Xi." It is only for ordinary people.

As soon as the golden toad spoke, those words echoed in Zhang Xiaolian's mind, immediately causing her eyes to widen.

"The divine toad...the divine toad spoke!"

In Zhang Xiaolian's memory, the magical toad could spit out money and move, and it was the first time she had ever seen it speak, so she was naturally very surprised.

Immediately afterwards, a blush flashed across Zhang Xiaolian's face.

In order to prove to her mother, Zhang Shi, that the golden toad could really spit out money, Zhang Xiaolian not only placed the magical golden toad by her bedside but also tied it up with a rope.

If the divine toad is not investigated, that's fine. But if it is, Zhang Xiaolian will not only be guilty of disrespect, but also of detaining the divine toad.

Zhang Xiaolian was immediately at a loss, wanting to say something but not knowing where to begin, and soon her face turned bright red.

Most of the scenes in dreams are illusory and poorly expressive, but in Zhang Xiaolian's dream, they are just like reality.

"As expected of a real dream!"

Su Ji had already forgiven Zhang Xiaolian a few days ago, and now seeing the little girl in such a predicament, he couldn't help but find it amusing.

Unwittingly, this smile dispelled some of the unpleasantness of "deceiving" the little girl.

Immediately, seeing Zhang Xiaolian at a loss for what to do and about to bow, Su Ji quickly reminded her, "Zhang E, the misunderstanding from a few days ago has long been resolved, so why take it to heart?"

Only after hearing Jin Chan's words did Zhang Xiaolian breathe a sigh of relief. Although she still kept her head down to show respect, she also dared to glance at Jin Chan.

Even so, Zhang Xiaolian was still afraid of saying the wrong thing, so she just pursed her lips and remained silent.

Su Ji, however, felt that this action revealed childlike innocence and made it especially adorable.

However, he did not forget that the little girl in front of him was very likely a Xuanxian in her previous life, and he immediately became serious.

"Zhang E, I was born in the Moon Palace and serve in the City of Luminous Beauty. In ancient times, I was ordered by the Spirit Emperor to descend to the mortal realm to examine the records of cultivators..."

"Unexpectedly, I witnessed demons wreaking havoc on living beings here. In this urgent situation, I had no choice but to fight them. After overcoming countless hardships, I finally slew them here, but I also suffered severe injuries that were difficult to suppress. I could only transform into a golden toad and fall into a deep sleep. "I lost track of time while I was asleep. When I awoke, this place had changed beyond recognition. The great river of the past had disappeared. I'm afraid even the Spirit Emperor thought that I had been completely destroyed."

“You pulled me out of the river and awakened me with the power of the incense in the sacrifice... but I found that the divine [talisman] had already been broken, and my magical power was not as strong as before.”

"I am unwilling to return to Taiyin in such a state, so I will use this place as a foundation to develop my faith. Once I become the greatest god of wealth in the world in the form of a golden toad, I can return to the Moon Palace, the City of Luminous Beauties, in glory..."

Su Ji's words were full of emotion and passion, and even carried a sense of historical vicissitude, leaving Zhang Xiaolian stunned.

After a long while, Zhang Xiaolian seemed to wake from a dream and said, "The divine toad really did come from the Toad Palace!"

She had this thought last night, but she never expected it to be confirmed today.

This matter seems like a dream, but upon closer examination, it proves that the divine toad is indeed all-powerful, seeing through her thoughts at a glance.

As a result, Zhang Xiaolian believed in the history fabricated by Su Ji without a doubt, and felt deeply moved by the fate of Jin Chan.

"The divine toad comes from ancient times and is a deity under the command of the Spirit Emperor of the City of Linglang... but now it has been worn down by time and has become a divine toad living in my house..."

Suddenly, the illusory image of the golden toad in the bright moonlight outside the window lost a trace of its illusion, its blurry body trembled slightly, and a tiny spot that could be seen with the naked eye appeared on its body.

If you could get closer and zoom in, you could even see the phantom of a capital city formed by the spots. Everything else in the capital city was elusive, except for a golden toad that had a few more colors.

"..."

Although Su Ji could not see the details inside the bright moon, he had a faint sense of it, as if he could reach the moon by following this sense.

"It really works!"

Although this feeling was faint, it confirmed Su Ji and Yan Tianchou's conjecture that by guiding Zhang Xiaolian's imagination through "fabricating history," they could actually create a golden toad in the Moon Palace that could embody mysteries.

Perhaps Zhang Xiaolian needs to reinforce this path multiple times before she can traverse it, or perhaps Su Ji's consciousness needs to go through some twists and turns before it can reach the moon...

Undeniably, the path lies beneath Su Ji's feet; all he has to do is keep moving forward.

At this moment, Yan Tianchou reminded her again: "The first step of the plan has been successful. Next, we can start to fabricate the experience of the Moon Palace and the City of Luminous Beauties, and deepen Zhang Xiaolian's impression of the Moon Palace and the Golden Toad by telling stories."

"Try to avoid discussing demons, lest a strange and unpredictable demonic phantom appear in your real dream..."

Furthermore, Yan Tianchou even considered the cause and effect mentioned by the local deity.

"The karmic ties with Zhang Xiaolian have deepened further. Although there are reasons for this, the deception continues."

"Currently, there are two solutions to this problem."

"Firstly, make appropriate compensation to Zhang Xiaolian, and from now on, package yourself as the Golden Toad in the [fabricated history], and thoroughly implement this policy."

"Secondly, make appropriate compensation to Zhang Xiaolian, tell her the truth about the situation at some point in the future, and try to obtain her forgiveness."

In the world of martial arts, one's identity is self-given, and the same applies to this unfamiliar world of cultivation. Su Ji understood this principle.

In order to continue living in this world, identity is really important. Su Ji could be a reincarnated cultivator, or he could be an ancient golden toad in the Toad Palace...

Su Ji couldn't help but sigh: "We have no ill intentions towards Zhang Xiaolian. We will definitely make up for what we got from her today!"

Judging from the current situation, even if they don't actively guide her, Zhang Xiaolian will still use up her imagination every day. Apart from deceiving Zhang Xiaolian, this action doesn't seem to cause her any harm.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. Su Ji just wanted to pave a way out for Zhang Xiaolian. After a good start, he would try to avoid doing such things in the future.

Su Ji sensed the slightly somber atmosphere and couldn't help but smile:

"In the future, this past may be buried in history, and only occasionally will it stir a ripple in your heart."

"It's also possible that the story circulated among the common people... That golden toad actually managed to deceive an innocent young girl, which is truly unimaginable!"

Yan Tianchou said very seriously, "You can just shift the blame onto me then, I don't care about any of that."

Su Ji was just joking, but he never expected that Yan Tianchou would think so far as to misunderstand.

Su Ji shook his head: "Can this matter only develop in a bad direction? If you and I handle this matter properly, and have enough power to make Zhang Xiaolian gain unimaginable benefits, others will be envious!"

If becoming the God of Wealth doesn't allow him to do these things, then Su Ji will become an immortal. If becoming an immortal still doesn't allow him to do these things, then he will become a regional immortal ancestor...

Unbeknownst to him, Su Ji had silently made a grand vow in his heart to repay the debt owed to a little girl.

This chapter was a bit difficult to write, so I apologize for the delay.
