In today's Changshan County, Chen Sheng's will was law. He might not remember who sent him gifts, but he would certainly remember who didn't.
Under this invisible pressure, the various families spared no expense, terrified their offerings would prove insufficient to satisfy the Changshan Evil God. Chen Sheng even received nearly ten Elemental Crystals—an extremely rare commodity!
Including what he already had, his total number of Elemental Crystals now exceeded thirty.
Such a fortune was tantamount to having scraped Changshan County clean of all its finest resources.
As far as Chen Sheng knew, even in the Prefecture City—a place teeming with hidden experts—an Innate Martial Master who possessed dozens of Elemental Crystals would be considered quite wealthy.
After all, based on the official court stipend, an ordinary Martial Master at the early Chaoyuan stage of the Innate realm received a mere four Elemental Crystals per year.
