The Worthless One Isn't Worthy of Investment, but I Slap Faces with a Hundred Ghosts

Lin Qiu, the Lin family's century-old yin-yang child medium, had reached the ninth level of the Nether Realm. Three years ago, merchant associations fought to sign contracts with him, and his clan prospered through him, worshipping him as their light. Three years later, his cultivation was completely crippled, falling to the lowest rank. Those who once begged him tore up their contracts, and those who rose because of him called him trash. Lin Heng, a branch family member, stole his mother's relic pearl and drained three years of his cultivation with dark arts. Zhao Tianjiao publicly humiliated him, and his father was forced to sign a one-year bet, with the whole clan starving if they lost. That night, the bronze coin from his mother's relic awakened. The three pearls returned, and his cultivation surged back. The coin spoke with a childlike voice: 'Your mother said her son must not live kneeling. I can help you find her.' — Description from novelcodex.org
