Luo Zhen Come and go freely and easily, the lingering sound lingers, and the person is indistinct.

After this high-level Purple Mansion left, Wang Chen summoned Xiao He to clean up the mess, and went to the bedroom to sleep soundly.

A dreamless night.

Early the next morning, he was awakened by the loud sound of gongs and drums coming from outside the door.

"Sir, there are many people outside."

Xiao He reported to Wang Chen with big eyes, "Everyone has surrounded our house!"

Wang Chen secretly wondered.

It's the first day of the new year and it's freezing cold. Who's full enough to come around Village Chief's residence?

Before he could get up and go out to check, he heard a voice coming into his ears from outside. "Venerable Wang is above, Song Wude is below. On the order of the master of the family, Song Yuanshan, I congratulate the master on his honor as West Sea Immortal Sect and his achievement as Supreme Daoist cultivation!"

Wang Chen felt a shiver in his heart and immediately ordered, "Xiao He, open the front door to welcome guests!"

Luo Zhen just came over last night to give him West Sea Sect inner disciple's Identity Token. Someone came to congratulate him early this morning.

And the person who comes to give gifts is surprisingly also Purple Mansion!

He quickly put on a purple robe and came to the front yard to greet the guests.

I saw a tall man with a beard walking into the courtyard with his head held high. When he saw Wang Chen, he immediately cupped his fists and saluted, saying, "Venerable Wang, Wude, please forgive me for intruding."

Wang Chen responded with a smile, "You're welcome, fellow Daoist, please come inside."

This big man with a beard has an imposing manner, and his magic power is extremely condensed. If his perception were not so sharp, he would be able to see through the opponent's level of cultivation.

Intermediate Purple Mansion!

"Thank you, Master."

The big man with the beard waved his hand back. "Bring it in!"

A group of men in green clothes filed in, carrying a huge vermilion gift box, eight boxes in total.

These gift boxes were neatly placed in the front hall.

"It's just a small gift to show respect."

Song Wude saluted again. "On behalf of the head of the family, Song Yuanshan, I would like to say hello to the Master!"

Wang Chen's eyes flashed. "Song Family Master is so polite."

In fact, he had no idea who Song Yuanshan was, but the other party's intention was undoubtedly obvious.

Perhaps seeing the doubts in Wang Chen's heart, Song Wude smiled and said, "The head of my family is Wancheng City County Captain..."

After his explanation, Wang Chen realized that this Song Yuanshan was not only the Wancheng City Song Clan clan leader, but also had been serving as a county captain. He was the county magistrate's assistant along with the county magistrate, in charge of security and catching thieves.

In other words, they are local tyrants!

After introducing Song Yuanshan's identity, Song Wude opened the gift boxes carried by the servants one by one.

The first box was filled with glowing spiritual stones!

Although the capacity of the box is limited, in actual calculation, the number of spiritual stones in this box is not very large.

But the visual impact is very strong.

The second box contained Spirit Rice, but it was not the ordinary Spirit Rice, but the second-order Purple Jing Rice.

The value of this box of Spirit Rice is no less than a box of spiritual stones!

The third box, the fourth box, the fifth box...

Wang Chen made a rough estimate and found that the total value of the eight gift boxes is no less than one hundred thousand spiritual stones!

After thinking about it, Wang Chen said, "No reward for no merit, Master Song Family's generous gift is too generous, I cannot accept it."

He didn't even know this Wancheng City county captain, and he had no friendship at all. He received such an expensive gift for no reason and owed a huge favor and karma. It was not worth it.

Wang Chen has never been the kind of person who only cares about immediate interests. This generous gift made him doubt the other party's intentions.

Song Wude was obviously well prepared for Wang Chen's rejection. He immediately submitted a letter. "This is a letter that the head of the family asked me to bring to the Master. He said that the Master would understand it after reading it."

Song Wude is also Master Purple Mansion, and his realm is one level higher than Wang Chen.

But in front of Wang Chen, he assumed a very low posture.

Wang Chen took the letter, opened it and read it again.

The Wancheng City county captain was very polite in his letter. He first congratulated Wang Chen on becoming West Sea Sect inner disciple, and then wanted to ask him to purchase some cultivation resources on his behalf, and also to exchange news.

These eight boxes of gifts can be regarded as hard-earned money for Wang Chen.

Ten thousand spirit stones are really hard work!

Wang Chen was aware that maybe the other party really needed West Sea Sect's internal training resources and wanted to expand the sources of information, but in the final analysis, the other party was investing in himself, the new Inner Sect.

Song Yuanshan said it very implicitly, but Wang Chen could see it easily.

After thinking for a while, Wang Chen waved his sleeves and put the eight gift boxes into the storage bag. "Since it is Master Song Family's heartfelt wish, Wang accepted it shamelessly."

Central Region and Bianyu are hundreds of thousands of miles apart, so it takes a long time for messages to come back and forth.

Since the other party was so sincere in wanting to invest in him, Wang Chen stopped being pretentious and accepted the generous gift openly.

Song Wude said happily, "It should be so."

Wang Chen was about to instruct Xiao He to serve good tea to this "wealth-giving boy" when he suddenly heard a voice from outside. "Venerable Wang is above, Fang Xiaoyue is below. On the order of Fang Hantao, the master of the family, I congratulate the master on his honor as West Sea Immortal Sect and his achievement Supreme Daoist cultivation!"

Wang Chen couldn't help but look at Song Wude - Are you using the same set of congratulatory messages?

Another Purple Mansion, another powerful figure!

Song Wude looked quite unhappy, and forced a smile and said, "Fang County Prime Minister also likes to join in the fun."

It turns out to be the county magistrate!

Although it feels quite strange, everyone who comes is a guest, and Wang Chen cannot turn them away.

What made him dumbfounded was that Fang County Prime Minister also sent someone to deliver eight large boxes.

When Fang Xiaoyue came in and saw Song Wude, the two of them stared at each other, as if they had a disagreement and drew swords at each other.

Apparently they already had a grudge against each other.

But they did not fight, otherwise it would be too disrespectful to Wang Chen.

Fang Xiaoyue also brought a letter to Wang Chen.

Wang Chen didn't favor one over the other, he accepted them all.

There are too many lice and they are not itchy. It is natural and logical to accept one family and then the next one.

After Fang Xiaoyue, several more teams came, all to give gifts.

The people who gave the gifts were all local powerful people from Wancheng City. Their purposes were basically the same, they just wanted to build a good relationship with Wang Chen, the new inner disciple.

Wang Chen was a little annoyed, so he simply accepted everyone who came, as long as the other party didn't have any malicious intentions.

At worst, just make a list and look for opportunities to repay it later.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Chen will go to Central Region hundreds of thousands of miles away to enter West Sea Sect Inner Sect's hidden cultivation.

By then, the training resources he consumes will increase exponentially!

The road to immortality, wealth, Dharma, companions, and place, the first word "wealth" in the four-character mantra is really indispensable.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Chen spent the cycle of meeting guests, receiving gifts, meeting guests again, and receiving gifts again.

Time flies and it's the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

There is only one day left before Wang Chen leaves Datian Village and goes to the promising Central Region.
