The Book of Black.

Summary

In Chapter 39, titled "The Greedy Gold Coin," the old witch disappears, leaving behind a blind monster snake that gnaws at its tail. Zhu Haomiao feels a surge of energy and discovers that it enhances his attributes, though not directly. He then uses his power to extract a ghostly creature's essence, which condenses into a golden coin marked with a familiar symbol representing "God." After contemplating its implications, he dismisses the thought and prepares for the Ascension Competition, noting the need to check in at gathering points. As he rests, he overhears voices from outside the temple and decides to invite the newcomers in, asserting authority over the situation despite their initial shock at the grotesque remains nearby. The chapter concludes with the brawny man, Liu Heng, cautiously addressing Zhu Haomiao.
