Chapter 402: It’s Hard to Escape From the Secular World

Everything in the world, including all human beings, cannot escape the law of true fragrance.

Wang Chen is no exception.

After clarifying the rights and responsibilities of the family, he still accepted the letter of appointment from Xu Xinlan.

He left his own magic mark on it.

"Thank you, Master."

Xu Xinlan's eyes sparkled, and she bowed and bowed: "From now on, the Xu family will be entrusted to you to take care of them!"

It can be seen that this young woman is very happy, and her eyes are full of relief and joy.

I guess there was a lot of pressure during this time.

"Easy to say."

Wang Chen returned the letter of appointment to the other party: "If you encounter anything that cannot be solved in the future, just send me a message."

According to the agreement in the appointment letter, Wang Chen will serve as the worshiper of the Xu family for three years.

During this period, he was able to receive 30% of the Xu family's industrial operating income every month.

Add three taels and three cents of the essence of the Five Elements!

Wang Chen didn't care where the opponent's Five Elements Essence came from, but this kind of natural and earthly treasure was undoubtedly of great benefit to his cultivation.

Correspondingly, during these three years, Wang Chen had the obligation and responsibility to come forward to solve the troubles encountered by the Xu family.

Trouble within his power.

If the Xu family is always safe, then Wang Chen's practice in the sect will not have any impact.

It's like offering it in vain!

It was precisely because the conditions given by Xu Xinlan were quite loose and the temptation of the essence of the Five Elements that Wang Chen finally signed the letter of appointment.

Xu Xinlan was still very discerning: "If nothing happens, I will never dare to disturb the Master."

Wang Chen nodded: "Good."

It's done.

After Xu Xinlan left with the letter of appointment, Zuo Xiaomo picked up his wine glass and thanked Wang Chen: "Senior Brother Wang, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"fine."

Wang Chen raised his glass: "I also get the benefits."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After drinking the spirit wine in the cup, Wang Chen asked, "Junior Brother Zuo, when will you take the outer sect examination?"

A long time ago, he agreed to be Zuo Xiaomo's "protector" and protect him when he went to the Kowloon Underground Palace to participate in the external examination.

However, after such a long time, there has been no movement from Zuo Xiaomo's side.

It seems that he has forgotten this.

So Wang Chen was a little strange. After meeting today, he naturally wanted to ask.

"I was just going to tell you."

Mentioning this matter, Zuo Xiaomo put down his wine glass and said with a wry smile: "This year's outer sect assessment will be postponed to the beginning of next year. The Kowloon Underground Palace has now been closed by the sect, and disciples are strictly prohibited from entering."

Wang Chen was surprised: "What happened?"

The Kowloon Underground Palace is located three hundred miles south of Wanling City, under the ruins of a huge ancient capital city, and its scale is extremely large.

Since there are restrictions in this huge underground palace, the higher the cultivation level of the monks, the greater the suppression they will receive inside.

For thousands of years, Xihaizong has been investing a lot of manpower and objects to explore and unearth the secrets of this underground palace.

Very rewarding.

The main force in the exploration is the Qi Lian and the Zifu monks in the sect.

In the mission halls of the inner and outer main halls, there are many missions involving the Kowloon Underground Palace.

It has long become an adventure paradise for Xihai Sect disciples!

But the paradise is not really happy. There are a lot of monsters and monsters lurking in the Kowloon Underground Palace. Coupled with the special environment, it is quite dangerous inside.

Just half a month ago, an evil tide suddenly broke out in the underground palace, causing a large number of casualties among the monks who were practicing and exploring inside.

The Xu family's worship perished in this disaster!

Therefore, Xihaizong closed the entrance to the underground palace and reopened it after the cause was found out.

At the same time, the time for external door assessment will be postponed.

"So this is ah."

Wang Chen suddenly realized that he had been focusing on cultivation during this period. In addition, he had no friends in Xihai City and did not participate in social activities among his fellow disciples. It was inevitable that the news would be blocked.

I didn’t know until now that something like this happened.

"The Kowloon Underground Palace will definitely reopen."

Zuo Xiaomo said: "When the time comes, I will have to ask my senior brother to help protect him."

Wang Chen nodded: "It should be."

He thought he would be able to repay Zuo Xiaomo's favor before the year, but he didn't expect that it would be delayed until after the year.

It’s the New Year again.

Wang Chen felt dazed for a moment.

Time flies so fast!

Back at his residence in Xihai City, Wang Chen took out the Five Elements Essence he had just acquired in the quiet room.

He couldn't wait to try out the cultivation effects of this heavenly material and earthly treasure.

The essence of the Five Elements stored in the spiritual jade bottle is similar to stone milk and is in a semi-solidified state. Wang Chen has seen how to use this spiritual liquid in the classics, and he immediately used the object control technique to take out a finger-sized mass.

Then swallow it into your stomach, and then use your magic power to refine it.

The Essence of the Five Elements contains the extremely pure Qi of the Five Elements. After dispersing, it instantly merges into Wang Chen's magic power and reaches all the limbs and bones along the meridians.

Wang Chen felt as if he was immersed in a hot spring, and his whole body was warm and comfortable.

I really want to close my eyes and fall asleep.

But he knew very well that if he really fell asleep, the essence of the Five Elements would be in vain.

Therefore, Wang Chen concentrated his mind and calmed down, activated the innate Five Elements Gong, and let the mana integrated with the Five Elements essence circulate in the body to completely absorb the effectiveness of this heavenly material and earthly treasure.

It took nearly two hours for Wang Chen to completely refine the five elements essence he had swallowed.

[Innate Five Elements Skill·Experience +1]

Wang Chen was very satisfied with the results of his training.

Not to mention adding 1 point of experience, he clearly felt that his mana had been fundamentally improved.

Although the improvement is very small, this is just the beginning. If he swallows the essence of the Five Elements for many years, the increase in his mana will undoubtedly be terrifying.

Unfortunately, Wang Chen can only get three or three yuan of supply every month.

He estimated that this bottle of Five Elements Essence was only enough for him to practice for about ten times. Taking it every day was far from enough.

But Wang Chen was also very satisfied.

According to the current speed of cultivation, the third level of Zifu is bound to be broken through in a shorter time.

In the following days, Wang Chen continued his practice.

The New Year has arrived unexpectedly.

In fact, the inner sect of Xihai Sect may be too far away from the secular world, and there is no festive atmosphere.

Xihai City is pretty much the same as usual.

But the outer gate area is a lot more lively, especially in a fairy city like Wanling City. The streets and alleys are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and people's faces are beaming with joy. They are buying New Year's goods in the shops, creating a noisy scene.

The day before New Year's Eve, Wang Chen received a letter from Xu Xinlan.

This cousin Zuo Xiaomo, Wang Chen's "client", invited him to her home as a guest.

Spend New Year's Eve together.

Wang Chen thought for a while.

accepted.

Many monks do nothing but practice and are completely separated from the world.

But Wang Chen is not such an ascetic monk.

Monks are also human beings. Unless they practice to a truly transcendent state, it is impossible not to be contaminated by the world of mortals.

Being born out of the world is practice, and joining the world is also practice!

It's hard to escape from the secular world.
