Chapter 357 Giving and Receiving Gifts

Luo Zhen came as he pleased and left as he pleased. The lingering sound lingered and the person was indistinct.

After the high-ranking Zifu left, Wang Chen summoned Xiao He to clean up the mess and went to his bedroom to fall asleep 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."

Xiaohe reported to Wang Chen with wide eyes: "Everyone has surrounded our house!"

Wang Chen secretly wondered.

On this first day of the Lunar New Year, it's freezing cold again. Who is hungry enough to come and surround the village's main house?

Before he could get up and go out to check, he heard a voice coming into his ears from outside: "Master Wang is above, Song Wude is below. On the order of the family leader Song Yuanshan, I congratulate the Master on being promoted to the Xihai Immortal Sect and achieving the supreme Taoism! "

Wang Chen's heart trembled, and he immediately ordered: "Xiao He, open the front door to welcome guests!"

Luo Zhen just came over last night to give him the identity plate of an inner disciple of the Xihai Sect. Someone came to congratulate him early this morning.

And the person who came to give gifts was surprisingly also a Zifu!

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, "Master Wang, Wude, please forgive me for intruding."

Wang Chen smiled and returned the greeting: "You're welcome, fellow Taoist, 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 cultivation realm.

Intermediate Zifu!

"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: "Master Song is too polite."

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

Perhaps sensing Wang Chen's doubts, Song Wude smiled and said, "The head of my family is the captain of Wancheng County..."

After his explanation, Wang Chen realized that Song Yuanshan was not only the head of the Song clan in Wancheng, but also had been serving as a county captain. Together with the county magistrate, he was an assistant to the county magistrate, responsible for public 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 spiritual rice, but it was not ordinary spiritual rice, but second-level purple jing rice.

This box of spiritual rice is worth 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 was no less than one hundred thousand spiritual stones!

After thinking about it, Wang Chen said: "No reward for no merit, the Song family master's generous gift is too generous, I can't accept it."

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

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 prepared for Wang Chen's rejection. He immediately submitted a letter: "This is a letter that the master asked me to bring to the Master. He said that the Master will understand after reading it."

Song Wude was also a member of the Purple Mansion, and his realm was one level higher than Wang Chen's.

But in front of Wang Chen, he maintained a very low profile.

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

The Wancheng county lieutenant was very polite in his letter. He first congratulated Wang Chen on becoming an inner disciple of the Xihai Sect, and then wanted to ask him to purchase some training resources on his behalf, and also exchange news.

These eight boxes of gifts can be regarded as payment for Wang Chen's hard work.

Ten thousand spirit stones are really hard work!

Wang Chen knew in his heart that maybe the other party really needed the training resources within the Xihai Sect and wanted to expand the sources of information, but in the final analysis, the other party was investing in himself, a new member of the inner sect.

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

After thinking about it, Wang Chen waved his sleeves and put the eight gift boxes into his storage bag: "Since it is the Song family master's intention, Wang will accept it shamelessly."

The Central Territory and the Border Territory are hundreds of thousands of miles apart, and 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 ask Xiao He to serve good tea to the "wealth boy" when he suddenly heard another voice coming from outside: "Master Wang is above, Xiao Yue is below. On the order of the head of the family, Fang Hantao, I wish to congratulate the Master." Climb the Xihai Immortal Sect and achieve the supreme Taoism!"

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

Another Zifu, another powerful figure!

Song Wude's expression was quite ugly, and he 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 felt quite strange, everyone who came was a guest, and Wang Chen couldn't turn them away.

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

And 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 didn't 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 or the other, so he accepted them all.

There are 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 groups of people came, all of them came to give gifts.

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

Wang Chen was a little annoyed, so he decided to accept everyone who came, as long as the other party didn't have 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 the Central Region, hundreds of thousands of miles away, and enter the inner sect of the Xihai Sect to practice cultivation.

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

The first word "wealth" in the four-character mantra is really indispensable for the road of cultivating immortality and the land of wealth and law.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Chen spent his time in 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 heads to the promising Central Territory.
