Initially, you won't be able to utilize Old Coins during the first chapter of the game, so it's best to focus on progressing through the main story. Once you reach Chapter 2, complete these key main story battles:

• Suppression of You Province
• Suppression of Jing Province
• Suppression of Liang Province

Upon completing these battles, you'll return to the city of Ji and encounter a character named Sima Hui. After your conversation and a subsequent task to fetch incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat will appear in the overworld, adjacent to Ji. At the retreat, you can speak with Sima Hui and finally put your Old Coins to use. Besides checking your bonds and revisiting past interactions, you can exchange your Old Coins for a variety of rewards.

It's beneficial to turn in your Old Coins whenever you pass by the retreat, as rewards are tied to specific milestones.
