Coming out of a remote alley, Wang Chen had already changed his appearance and appearance.

Changed back to the identity of "Wang Xiu".

Relying on the magical item Thousand Transformations Mask, he prepared multiple vests for himself, which he could switch at any time when needed.

Sometimes when you get too involved in the drama, Wang Chen can even completely forget about his true self and devote himself wholeheartedly to his new identity.

Under such a superb disguise, his true identity has not been revealed yet.

After walking through the alleys and streets, Wang Chen returned to his home by a familiar route.

However, standing at the door of his home, he saw a big hole in his door, with two thick boards nailed on it, and a large lock added.

And this broken door is not original either!

What's going on?

Just as Wang Chen was about to jump over the fence, the door of the neighbor's house opposite opened with a creak.

Chen Qi stuck out his head. "Fellow Daoist Wang?"

He was very surprised. "You are finally back!"

Wang Chen nodded, pointed at the door panel and asked, "What happened?"

"Don't mention it."

Chen Qi walked over with a wry smile and explained, "While you were out, people from the City Lord's Mansion looked for you three times."

Because Wang Chen was never found, the visitor was extremely annoyed. Not only did he smash down the door of Wang Chen's house, but he also broke in and searched inside and outside, leaving a mess.

Chen Qi did not dare and had no ability to stop them, so he could only help Wang Chen clean up afterwards.

He replaced and mended the courtyard gate.

Chen Qi opened the Gate of Opening lock as quickly as possible, and sighed, "A lot of people came to the walled city during this period, making it a mess, and there were a lot of petty thefts, so I added a lock."

In fact, no matter how many locks you hang, they only protect against gentlemen but not villains, and have no real meaning.

But Chen Qi felt that he had failed Wang Chen, and his face showed a look of shame.

Wang Chen said, "Thank you, thank you for your hard work."

"It should."

Chen Qi scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "Fellow Daoist Wang, I owe you Spirit Rice..."

"It's out of the way."

Wang Chen waved his hand and interrupted him, "When will you be rich, please give it back to me."

Chen Qi is a good person, but Spirit Rice, Wang Chen didn't take it to heart at all as far as the little thing he borrowed.

But some people...

Wang Chen looked at the hole in the door panel and thought of the chickens he once raised.

Chen Qi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, if you don't mind tomorrow night New Year's Eve, come to my house for a New Year's Eve dinner. My wife has said it several times, but she has never properly thanked you for your help."

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve?

Wang Chen felt dazed for a moment and nodded subconsciously. "Okay."

Chen Qi was very happy. "Then I will ask my wife to prepare well. Fellow Daoist Wang, we will meet again tomorrow."

After saying that, he saluted Wang Chen and left in a hurry.

Wang Chen thought for a while and did not enter his home immediately.

He first went to a nearby carpenter's shop and had someone come over to replace him with a new courtyard door.

Then I went to the house to check.

Although the house has been tidied up, many damaged areas cannot be covered up.

Wang Chen went down to the secret room again.

The secret room on the first level was not spared, and many things were missing.

But the function of this secret room is actually to conceal the existence of the second and third secret rooms below.

The intruders were misled by the secret room on the first level and did not discover the deeper secrets below.

But this debt was recorded by Wang Chen!

He simply bought new tables, chairs, benches, and cabinets from the carpenter's shop, and basically replaced all the furniture in the upper and lower rooms, which was regarded as getting rid of the old and welcoming the new.

When the carpenter left, it was completely dark.

Wang Chen closed the door of his house, relocated Mandarin Duck Mirror, and then went down to the secret room on the third floor.

He called out Cultivation Panel and dropped 1000 points of Heavenly Merit on Root Bone.

[Root Bone: 7]

It's 7 o'clock Root Bone!

The original owner only had two basic attributes, Root Bone and comprehension. Under normal circumstances, there was no hope of breaking through high-level Qi Condensation, let alone Break Through Apertures and Open the Mansion.

After Wang Chen traveled through time, he added 4 points to his Root Bone. Coupled with the gain brought by taking Vermilion Fruit, this most important attribute for cultivating immortality was greatly improved.

7 points Root Bone, at least an "above average" rating!

This means that Wang Chen has left most of the monks behind in terms of cultivation talent.

With the blessing of 7 points of Root Bone, the probability of his Break Through Apertures and Open the Mansion will be much higher.

Acupoint Breaking Pill can also use one less pill.

If it is increased to 8 or even 9 points, then there is no big obstacle to Acupoint Breaking Pill being directly promoted to the Purple Mansion!

Unfortunately, Wang Chen has been Add Points four times on Root Bone, and the fifth time requires 10,000 Heavenly Merit points.

How many monks must be killed?

He didn't even bother to calculate it, since it was simply impossible to achieve at the moment.

Even if you get a new Heavenly Merit, Wang Chen will give priority to your understanding.

Because this attribute is equally important.

The moment Add Points was completed, all his bones seemed to have countless ants crawling and biting inside them. The itching and numbing feeling instantly flooded the whole body, making people want to smash all their bones into pieces.

But Wang Chen endured it easily and even felt quite refreshed!

After sweating profusely, he returned to normal.

Root Bone has become stable again!

This made Wang Chen feel happy.

On the evening of the next day, he carried ten pounds of Demonic Beast Marrow Meat and went to visit his neighbor's house across the door.

Seeing Wang Chen carrying meat, Chen Qi's family was surprised and happy, and quickly asked Wang Chen to sit down.

When Chen Qi's two children saw Demonic Beast Meat held in Wang Chen's hand, their four eyes glowed green.

They are at the right age for eating and gluttony, and they haven't eaten meat for a long time.

Even raw meat can be chewed.

Wang Chen handed the meat to Madam Chen as an extra dish for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.

Madam Chen Half the table of meals has been prepared.

Although she exhausted her craft.

But because the conditions at home are really limited, the only scrambled eggs can barely be considered a meat dish.

Without the meat Wang Chen brought, this New Year's Eve dinner would really be a bit unpalatable Make a Move.

Chen Qi was very embarrassed about this. "Fellow Daoist Wang, I have cost you money again."

Now that the price of rice in Dongwu Stockade has skyrocketed, Demonic Beast Meat has naturally followed the rise, and it is still difficult to buy.

Especially in the past few days, because of the New Year, everyone wanted to get some meat to make a decent New Year's Eve dinner, but he only managed to get a few eggs in exchange for a lot of effort.

I feel so ashamed of Wang Chen.

Wang Chen smiled and shook his head, picked up the chopsticks and picked up some scrambled eggs and tasted. "It tastes good."

He asked Chen Qi and the two children to sit down, "Let's eat together."

The stove is blazing in the kitchen, the lights in the main room are brightly lit, and the aroma of food is wafting in the air.

Everyone gathered around and talked and laughed.

Although life is still difficult, at least on tonight's New Year's Eve night, there is still happiness to enjoy! ——
