Chapter 268.
When he came out from a remote alley, Wang Chen had already changed his dress and appearance.
He had changed back to the identity of “Wang Xiu”.
Relying on this strange object, he prepared multiple vests for himself, and could switch at any time when needed.
Sometimes, when he was too deep into the movie, Wang Chen could even completely forget about his real identity and devote himself to his new one.
Under such a marvelous disguise, his real body has not been exposed so far.
Passing through the alleys and streets, Wang Chuan returned to his home in a familiar way.
However, when he stood in front of his house, he saw that the door of his house had a big hole, with two thick wooden boards nailed on it and a big lock added.
And this broken door is not the original!
What’s going on here?
Just as Wang dust ready to leap over the fence, the opposite neighbor’s door “creak” open.
Chen Qi poked his head out, “Daoyou Wang?”
He was very surprised, “You’re finally back!”
Wang Dust nodded and pointed at the door panel, “What happened?”
“Don’t mention it.”
Chen Qi smiled bitterly and walked over, explaining, “During the time you were out, the people from the City Lord’s Mansion searched for you three times.”
Because they had not been able to find Wang Dust, the people who came were extremely annoyed, not only did they smash the door of Wang Dust’s house, but they also broke in and searched inside and out, making a mess.
Chen Qi didn’t dare or have the ability to stop them, and could only help Wang Duan clean up afterward.
The courtyard door was both replaced and mended by him.
Chen Qi unlocked the door as fast as he could and sighed, “A lot of people came to the city fortress during this period of time, making a mess, and there are especially a lot of petty thieves, so I added a lock.”
In fact, hanging more locks is just preventing the gentleman but not the villain, there is no substantial meaning.
However, Chen Qi felt that he had failed to live up to what Wang Dust had entrusted him with, and a look of shame appeared on his face.
Wang Dust said, “Thank you, hard work.”
“It should be.”
Chen Qi scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, “Daoyou Wang, the spiritual rice owed to you ……”
“It’s not in the way.”
Wang Dust interrupted him with a wave of his hand, “Whenever you’re generous, just pay me back when you’re ready.”
Chen Qi was a good person, as far as the little bit of spirit rice he borrowed, Wang Dust didn’t put it on his mind at all.
But some people ……
Wang Dust looked at the broken hole in the door panel and remembered the chickens he had once raised.
Chen Qi was relieved and said, “Fellow Daoist Wang, tomorrow night on New Year’s Eve, if you don’t mind, come to my house for a New Year’s Eve dinner, my mother has recited a few times that she hasn’t properly thanked you for your help.”
Tomorrow is the New Year’s Eve?
Wang Dust’s mind drifted for a moment and subconsciously nodded, “Good.”
Chen Qi was delighted, “Then I’ll have my mother prepare properly, fellow Daoist Wang, we’ll meet again tomorrow.”
After saying that, he bowed to Wang Dust and then hurriedly left.
Wang Dust thought about it and didn’t immediately enter his house.
He first went to a nearby carpenter store and had someone come over to dress his new courtyard door.
Only then did he go inside the home to check it out.
Although the home had been tidied up, quite a few of the damaged areas could not be concealed at all.
Wang Dust went back down to the secret room.
The first layer of the secret room wasn’t spared either, and a lot of things had disappeared.
It was just that the purpose of this layer of secret chambers was actually to conceal the existence of the second and third layer of secret chambers below.
The intruder was misled by the first layer of secret chambers and did not discover the deeper mysteries below.
But this debt, Wang Dust wrote it down!
He simply purchased new tables, chairs, benches and cabinets from the carpenter’s store, and basically replaced all the furniture in the upper and lower rooms, which was considered to be getting rid of the old and welcoming the new.
When the carpenter left, it was already completely dark.
Wang Chen closed his own portal and relocated the mandarin mirror, then descended to the third level of the secret room.
He called out the Immortal Cultivation Panel and slammed 1,000 points of Heavenly Merit on the Root Bone.
[Root Bone: 7]
7 points of Root Bone now!
The original owner’s two basic attributes of Root Bone and Enlightenment were only two points, and under normal circumstances there would be no hope of breaking through to the high level of Qi Practicing in one’s entire life, let alone breaking through the orifices and opening the house.
After Wang Chen crossed over, he had added 4 points to his Root Bone before and after, plus the gains brought by taking Zhu Guo, which allowed this most important attribute of Immortal Cultivation to be greatly improved.
With 7 points of Root Bone, it was at least an “upper middle” rating!
This meant that Wang Chen had left most cultivators behind in terms of cultivation talent.
With the 7 points of Root Bone, the probability of him breaking his orifices and opening his house would be much higher.
The Orifice Breaking Pill could also be used one less.
If it was increased to 8 or even 9 points, then there would be no major obstacle to directly advancing to Purple Mansion without the need for an Orifice Breaking Pill!
Unfortunately, Wang Chen had already added four points to his Root Bone, and the fifth would require 10,000 points of Heavenly Merit.
How many cultivators would he have to kill?
He didn’t even bother to calculate it, it was simply impossible to achieve at the moment anyway.
Even if he seized a new Heavenly Merit, Wang Dust would prioritize smashing it on Enlightenment.
Because this attribute was equally important.
The moment the addition was completed, all of his bones felt like there were countless ants crawling and devouring them, and an aching, itching, painful, and numb sensation flooded his entire body in an instant, making one wish to smash all of his bones into pieces.
But Wang Chen easily withstood it, and even felt quite refreshed!
After sweating profusely, he returned to normal.
The root bones had become constant again!
This made Wang Chen’s mood, pleasant.
By the evening of the second day, he carried ten pounds of demonic beast essence meat and visited his neighbor’s house across the street.
Seeing Wang Dust who came over with the meat, Chen Qi’s family was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly invited Wang Dust to take a seat.
When Chen Qi’s two children saw the demonic beast meat in Wang Duan’s hands, all four of their eyes glowed green.
They were at the age of good eating and gluttony, and hadn’t eaten meat for a long time.
Even raw meat could be gnawed down.
Wang Dust handed the meat to Niangzi Chen as an addition to tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner.
Niangzi Chen had already prepared half of the table.
Although she had exhausted her craftsmanship.
However, because the family’s conditions were really limited, there was only one scrambled egg that could barely be considered a meat dish.
Without the meat brought by Wang Duan, this New Year’s Eve dinner was really a bit out of hand.
Chen Qi was very embarrassed about this, “Daoyou Wang, letting you break the bank again.”
Now that the price of rice in Dongwu Walled City has skyrocketed, demonic beast meat has naturally risen along with it, and it is still hard to buy.
Especially these days, because of the New Year’s Eve, everyone wanted to get some meat to make a decent New Year’s Eve dinner, and he had only exchanged a few eggs after a lot of effort.
Feeling ashamed of Wang Dust.
Wang Dust smiled and shook his head, picked up his chopsticks and picked up some scrambled eggs and tasted them, “The flavor is good.”
He greeted Chen Qi and the two children and sat down, “Let’s eat together.”
The stove fire in the kitchen was booming, the main room was brightly lit, and the scent of the meal wafted through the air.
Everyone gathered around to talk and laugh.
Although life was still difficult, at least there was a joy to enjoy on tonight’s New Year’s Eve!
