The charming widow of the Marquis's mansion: The stable boy carries the flag and raises the dra

The deacon nodded in agreement.

Song Tiange's gaze fell on Wang Long again, watching him calmly respond to the people's thanks in the crowd, and she nodded slightly.

"If this person can grow up smoothly, he will surely become a pillar of our Eastern Region in the future."

He withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice.

"Continue registering the number of Heavenly Stones. The arrays throughout Heavenly City are awaiting replenishment. Don't delay our important work!"

The steward acknowledged and turned to make the arrangements.

In the center of the square, the long queue was still slowly moving forward.

Those contestants who survived by chance walked up to the platform in order and handed over the Heavenly Stones they had collected.

Soon, it was the turn of a young man in a blue shirt at the very front of the line.

He took out the Heavenly Stones one by one from his storage bag and placed them on the stone platform.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty, Chen Zixuan, 1,132 Heavenly Stones!"

The deacon's voice rang out, tinged with approval.

A murmur arose from the surrounding crowd.

"One thousand one hundred and thirty-two yuan! That's quite a lot!"

"Yeah, in previous years we were lucky to hand over a few dozen yuan, but this hundred-plus yuan might put us in the top ten!"

Upon hearing this, the young man in the blue robe curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile.

He straightened his back, stepped down from the platform, and accepted the envious glances of those around him.

Immediately afterwards, another person stepped forward.

"The Great Jin Dynasty, Zhao Yanzhi, 2207 Heavenly Stones!"

Wow! Over two thousand yuan! That's impressive!

"This one could easily break into the top three!"

Zhao Yanzhi shook his head and gave a wry smile.

"If it weren't for Mr. Wang saving me, I wouldn't have been able to bring even a single piece of clothing out."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply in the direction of Wang Long.

Wang Long, who was in the crowd, nodded slightly in greeting.

Next, one contestant after another stepped forward.

A little over a hundred yuan, a little over two hundred yuan, and the most is just over three hundred yuan.

The deacon in charge of recording frowned slightly as he made the entries.

Although the survival rate was high this year, the number of Heavenly Stones each person brought out did not seem to be much more than in previous years.

At this moment, Wang Long and Xu Wanyun were holding hands and queuing up. Finally, it was their turn.

With a wave of her hand, Xu Wanyun summoned countless Heavenly Stones before the steward.

He looked at the Tianque Stones piled up like a small mountain on the stone platform, then looked up at Xu Wanyun in front of him, his mouth slightly open, unable to close for a long time.

"The Great Qian Dynasty, Xu Wanyun, Heavenly Stone... 50,000 pieces!"

Xu Wanyun said calmly.

She was already Wang Long's woman, and she considered herself a member of the Great Qian Dynasty, not the Wenxin Academy.

Shen Qianqiu didn't seem too unhappy about it.

Wenxin Academy has no shortage of rewards from Song Tiange, regardless of where the two represent.

They're all from Wenxin Academy!

The deacon was stunned upon hearing this.

Fifty thousand yuan?

He thought he had misheard and subconsciously counted them again.

That's right!

Fifty thousand yuan!

Neatly arranged on the stone platform, they exuded a strong energy fluctuation.

He had never seen anyone produce so many Heavenly Stones at once; it was like a dream.

Song Tiange was also slightly taken aback when he saw this.

The square instantly erupted in chaos.

"What?! Fifty thousand yuan?!"

"Did I hear that right? Fifty thousand yuan?!"

"In previous years, the total cost for everyone in the cohort was only tens of thousands of yuan! She paid fifty thousand yuan by herself?!"

Exclamations rose and fell, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the small mountain of Heavenly Stones on the stone platform, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Song Tiange took a deep breath, and his gaze toward Xu Wanyun became serious.

Being able to bring out 50,000 Heavenly Stones means that she has found at least one rich mine in the secret realm.

Or rather, she went to places that many people dared not go.

This woman is no ordinary person!

The thought that she and Wang Long were together made everything seem perfectly normal.

While everyone was still in shock at the 50,000 Heavenly Stones.

Wang Long walked forward unhurriedly and waved his hand.

It is another small hill made of celestial stones.

The butler was completely dumbfounded.

He opened his mouth wide and stared wide-eyed as he watched the Heavenly Stones piled higher and higher on the stone platform, filling it to the brim.

"The Great...Great Qian Dynasty, Wang Long, Heavenly Stone...50,000 pieces!"

His voice was hoarse, with an uncontrollable tremor.

Fifty thousand yuan!

Another 50,000 yuan!

The two of them together make 100,000 yuan!

The square erupted in cheers.

"One hundred thousand Heavenly Stones!"

"My God! Did they empty out the entire mineral vein in the secret realm?!"

"I didn't find a single piece, yet they brought out 100,000 yuan!"

"Is this even human?!"

A murmur of discussion arose, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Long, filled with shock and disbelief.

With 100,000 Heavenly Stones, it's a clear victory, crushing the number one!

On the high platform, Song Tiange's breathing became slightly more rapid.

He stared at the two small mountains of Heavenly Stones piled up in front of Wang Long, his fingers tightening slightly.

One hundred thousand yuan.

The total amount of Heavenly Stones this year far exceeded his expectations!

And all of this is because of this man named Wang Long.

Song Tiange took a deep breath, suppressing the surging excitement in her heart, and stepped down from the platform.

He walked to the registration desk himself and his gaze fell on Wang Long.

"Wang Long."

His voice was steady and calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

Wang Long raised his head, looked at him, and gave him a respectful bow.

"Lord City Lord."

Song Tiange nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the mountain of Heavenly Stones, his voice low.

"You've done a great job this time!"

"It's not just because of these 50,000 Celestial Stones."

"Even more so because you saved so many people in the secret realm."

He paused, his voice becoming more serious.

"You saved the lives of thousands of talented martial artists in the Eastern Region."

"Among them are the elites of various dynasties and the future leaders of various sects."

"I will remember your contribution."

Wang Long was slightly taken aback, then clasped his hands in a salute.

"Your Excellency flatters me, Lord City Lord. I merely did what I could."

Song Tiange looked at him and smiled faintly.

"Within my power?"

"There aren't many people in this world who can 'do their best' to save thousands of people."

He didn't say anything more, but took out a completely black token from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Long.

The token is about the size of a palm, with the ancient seal character "天" (tian, meaning heaven) engraved on the front and a map engraved on the back.

It is the city lord's order of Tianque City!

Wang Long's pupils contracted slightly.

"this......"

"I hereby bestow upon you the title of Lord of Tianque City."

Song Tiange's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

"By possessing this token, you shall enjoy the same authority as the elders of Tianque City."

"You have full access to all the resources of Tianque City."

These words caused an uproar in the room.

It should be noted that the resources and privileges enjoyed by elders of Tianque City start at the Supreme Realm, and their numbers are extremely limited, numbering only a few dozen.

Wang Long is currently only a half-saint, yet he holds the same status as these powerful figures.

This is not only Song Tiange's reward to Wang Long, but also an investment in him!

Song Tiange was confident that Wang Long would eventually become a powerful figure in the Eastern Region!
