Chapter 402.
Everything in the world, including all humans, cannot escape the law of true fragrance.
Wang Dust was no exception.
After clarifying the rights and responsibilities of the family’s offerings, he still accepted the letter of employment presented by Xu Xinlan’s hands.
Leaving his mana imprint on it.
“Many thanks to the superior.”
Xu Xinran’s eyes were brimming as she curtsied and performed a great salute, “I’ll be counting on you to take care of the Xu family in the future!”
It could be seen that this young woman was very happy, her eyes were filled with the elation of being relieved.
It was estimated that she had been under a lot of pressure during this period of time.
“Good to say.”
Wang Dust returned the appointment letter to the other party, “In the future, if you encounter anything that can’t be solved, just send me a message.”
According to the agreement on this appointment letter, Wang Dust would serve as the Xu Family’s envoy for three years.
During his period, he would receive thirty percent of the operating income from the Xu Family’s name industry every month.
Plus three taels and three coins of Essence of Five Elements!
Wang Dust didn’t care where the other party got the Essence of Five Elements from, but this kind of heavenly material would undoubtedly be very beneficial to his cultivation.
Correspondingly, during these three years, Wang Chuan had the obligation and responsibility to step in and resolve the troubles encountered by the Xu Family.
Troubles that were within his capabilities.
If the Xu family had been safe and sound, then Wang Chen’s cultivation in the sect would not be affected in any way.
It was tantamount to taking offerings for nothing!
It was because the conditions given by Xu Xinlan were quite lenient, coupled with the lure of the Essence of Five Elements, that prompted Wang Chen to finally sign the offer letter.
Xu Xinlan was still very witty, “If there is nothing else, my concubine would never dare to disturb the superior.”
Wang Chen nodded, “Good.”
This matter was considered a done deal.
After Xu Xinlan left with the letter of appointment, Zuo Xiaomo picked up the wine cup to thank Wang Duan, “Senior brother Wang, I’ve troubled you.”
“It’s fine.”
Wang Dust raised his cup, “I’m also taking the benefits.”
The two men smiled at each other.
Drinking the spirit wine in the cup, Wang Dust asked, “Senior Brother Zuo, when are you going to participate in the Outer Sect Examination?”
A long time ago, he had promised to act as Zuo Xiaomo’s “Taoist Protector” and protect the other party to participate in the Outer Sect Examination at the Nine Dragons Earth Palace.
However, after such a long time, there had been no movement on Zuo Xiaomo’s side.
It was as if he had forgotten about it.
That’s why Wang Chen was a bit strange, and when they met today, they naturally had to inquire about it.
“I was about to tell you.”
Mentioning this matter, Zuo Xiaomo put down his wine glass and laughed bitterly, “This year’s outer door assessment, it’s going to be postponed to the beginning of next year, and the Nine Dragons Earth Palace has now been closed by the sect, and it’s strictly forbidden for disciples to enter.”
Wang Chen was taken aback, “What happened?”
The Nine Dragons Earth Palace was located three hundred miles to the south of Ten Thousand Spirits City, underneath the remains of a huge ancient capital city, and its scale was extremely large.
Due to the fact that this huge underground palace was equipped with prohibitions, the higher the cultivation level of the cultivator, the greater the suppression they were subjected to inside.
For thousands of years, the Western Sea Sect had been investing a large amount of manpower and objects to explore and excavate the secrets of this underground palace.
The harvest was quite fruitful.
And the main force of exploration was the Qi Practicing and Zifu cultivators in the sect.
Tasks involving the Nine Dragons Earth Palace abounded in the task halls of the Inner Sect and Outer Sect’s General Hall.
It had long since become an adventurous paradise for the disciples of the Western Sea Sect!
But the paradise was not true joy, there were a large number of demonic evil monsters lurking in the Nine Dragons Earth Palace, along with the special environment, thus it was quite dangerous inside.
Just half a month ago, an evil tide suddenly erupted in the underground palace, leading to a large number of casualties among the cultivators practicing and exploring inside.
The Xu Clan’s envoy had fallen in this disaster!
As a result, the Western Sea Sect closed the entrance to the underground palace and will reopen it after the cause is identified.
At the same time, it postponed the time of the Outer Sect Examination.
“So that’s how it is.”
Wang Chen realized that he had been focusing on cultivation for a while, and since he didn’t have any friends in the West Sea City and didn’t participate in social gatherings among his fellow sect members, he had inevitably kept the news closed.
Only now did he realize that something like this had happened.
“The Nine Dragon Earth Palace will definitely reopen.”
Zuo Xiaomo said, “When that time comes, we still need to trouble senior brother to help guard it.”
Wang Chen nodded, “I should.”
He had thought that he would be able to return this favor from Zuo Xiaomo before the year, but he didn’t expect that it would be delayed until after the year.
It was going to be the New Year again.
Wang Dust’s mind drifted for a moment.
Time was flying by!
Returning to his residence in West Sea City, Wang Chuan took out the Essence of Five Elements that he had just gotten his hands on in the quiet room.
He couldn’t wait to try out the cultivation utility of this heavenly treasure.
The Essence of Five Elements stored in the Spirit Jade Bottle was similar to stone milk and was in a semi-solidified state, Wang Chuan had read about the method of taking out this kind of spiritual liquid in the canonical books, and immediately used the Object Harnessing Technique to take out a finger-sized lump.
Then he swallowed it and then urged his magic power to refine it.
The essence of the five elements contains a very high purity of the five elements of Qi, after the dissolution of a moment into the mana of Wang Chuan, along the meridians straight to the limbs and bones.
Wang Chen felt as if he was immersed in a hot spring, and his entire body was warm and comfortable.
It was tempting to close his eyes and fall into a deep sleep.
But he knew very well that if he really fell asleep, this Essence of Five Elements would be wasted.
Therefore, Wang Chen concentrated his mind and urged the Innate Five Elements Technique, letting the mana that had been integrated into the Five Elements Essence perform a circumferential cycle in his body to thoroughly absorb the effectiveness of this heavenly treasure.
It took nearly two hours before Wang Chen completely refined the swallowed Five Elements Essence.
[Innate Five Elements Technique – Experience +1]
The effect of the cultivation made Wang Chen very satisfied.
Adding 1 point of experience not to mention, he clearly felt that his mana had an essential root enhancement.
Although the magnitude of the increase was very small, this was just the beginning, if he swallowed the Essence of the Five Elements for years and years, then the increase in his mana would undoubtedly be terrifying.
Unfortunately, Wang Chen could only get a monthly supply of three taels and three coins.
He estimated that this bottle of Essence of Five Elements was probably only enough for about ten times of his own cultivation, taking it every day was far from enough.
But Wang Chen was also satisfied.
According to the current rate of cultivation, the third layer of the Purple Mansion was bound to break through in a much shorter period of time.
In the following days, Wang Chen continued his own cultivation.
The New Year arrived unannounced.
In fact, the West Sea Sect’s inner gate, probably because it was too far away from the world, didn’t have much of a festive atmosphere.
West Sea City was more or less the same as usual.
However, the outer sect area was going to be quite lively, especially in a great immortal city like Wan Ling City, where the streets and alleys were decorated with lights, people’s faces were joyful, and there was a hustle and bustle as they went on a buying spree for New Year’s goods in the stores.
The day before New Year’s Eve, Wang Chen received a transmission from Xu Xinlan.
Cousin Zuo Xiaomo, the “proprietor” of Wang Duan, invited him to her home.
To spend New Year’s Eve together.
Wang Chen thought about it.
He agreed.
Many cultivators have nothing else to do but cultivate, completely detaching themselves from the mundane.
But Wang Chen was not such a bitter cultivator.
Cultivators are also human beings, unless they cultivate to the realm of true transcendence, it is impossible not to be tainted by the red dust.
Going out into the world is cultivation, entering the world is also cultivation!
Being in the red dust is hard to get rid of ah.
