Dragon's Origin

Chapter 542: Scroll (Part 1)

Besides listening, Wang Sheng also had to comment. When these grandmasters were in high spirits, as soon as Wang Sheng pointed out a flaw, they would immediately pick up their instruments and play a passage. Because of this, listening to five to eight pieces a night was basically the limit.

Although they were obsessed with instruments and performance, these grandmasters were not ignorant of etiquette. They were just too lazy to bother with those ordinary people.

But Wang Sheng was different. This was an appraiser of grandmasters, all of whom were refined musicians. How could they be too rude? Didn't they see Lady Mei'er and Lady Qiangwei always following by Duke Changsheng's side? Seeing that the time was almost up, these grandmasters would immediately and proactively end their performance, determined not to annoy the two ladies with so many bright lights around.

Anyway, there was plenty of time. During this period, they would stay in the Duke's mansion. They had time every day, so there was no need to rush.

At night, in the bedroom, it was still Wang Sheng, Mei'er, and Qiangwei. Qiangwei was very tactful and always positioned herself correctly, making Mei'er smile. That's why, even at bedtime, Mei'er didn't forget to bring Qiangwei along.

"Qiangwei, how is the cultivation of the sisters in the Wang residence?" Wang Sheng had been away for a few months and didn't know the situation in the residence. Everything was based on the reports from Mei'er, Qiangwei, and Steward Wang. As for the cultivation of the women in the Wang residence, he could only ask Qiangwei.

"The sisters have all crossed the hurdle of the Everlasting Spring Heart Sutra, and their cultivation speed is very fast," Qiangwei quickly replied. "They are all re-cultivating, so it's relatively easy, and they are about to break through on a large scale."

"Have everyone prepare. This grandmaster performance is a good opportunity," Wang Sheng felt that the women's cultivation was almost ready for a breakthrough, so he directly asked Qiangwei to have everyone prepare.

This would probably mean six hundred fewer seats. However, no one would object to this. Without Wang Sheng, they wouldn't even have the remaining four hundred seats.

Of course, Wang Sheng wouldn't be so excessive as to leave everyone with no chance. So, turning to Mei'er, he said, "Mei'er, tomorrow you and I will visit the Grand Master of the Old Monarch Temple. By the way, bring the people from the Old Monarch Temple along, and we'll hold a performance in advance."

Hearing that she and Qiangwei were going to visit the Grand Master, Mei'er's spirits immediately lifted. This was equivalent to Wang Sheng taking her back to his family, which definitely put Mei'er in the position of the legitimate wife. Even Qiangwei was happy. With the approval of the Grand Master and Old Ancestor Lingxu, she would be the only legitimate second wife of Wang Sheng besides Mei'er. The assassin A'qi didn't have this treatment.

"The Emperor's side..." Hearing Wang Sheng's instructions, Mei'er was very happy, but she immediately thought of her biological father and couldn't help but hesitate, trying to ask for some benefits for them: "Should we also give them a little something?"

"Well, tomorrow, have Old Wang inform Steward Zhou and have the Emperor's side prepare a hundred people." Wang Sheng was in the capital and naturally wanted to maintain a good relationship with the local tyrant Emperor. Plus, because of Mei'er, he had to give him this face.

After thinking about it, Wang Sheng added another sentence: "Also, pick out about a hundred people from the guards who are about to break through and have them participate together."

The guards in Wang Sheng's residence were now mostly disciples of the Old Monarch Temple, along with some loyal guards that Mei'er had previously subdued. Among these people, those who were on the verge of breaking through had to be carefully cultivated, as they would be the most reliable core group in the future.

Six hundred people from the Wang residence, plus one hundred from the Emperor, and one hundred from the guards, left two hundred slots. Wang Sheng was not polite and directly gave them all to the Old Monarch Temple. Anyway, the stronger the Old Monarch Temple became, the safer Wang Sheng would be.

Early in the morning, Steward Wang received instructions from Lady Mei'er and happily went to give the royal family a favor. Wang Sheng and the two women had breakfast, cultivated once, and then, with a few senior Taoists of the Qing generation and a dozen guards, left the city and headed straight for the Old Monarch Temple in the suburbs of the capital.

When they arrived at the Old Monarch Temple, the Grand Master had already heard the news and was waiting at the entrance. This gave Wang Sheng a lot of face, making him feel a little flattered.

It should be known that since the last concert, the Grand Master had made another breakthrough, reaching the peak of the Legendary Realm and entering the Tenth Realm. This was also the second expert Wang Sheng had seen who had not entered the core of the Thousand Desolation Land and had not felt the rich spiritual energy of the core of the Thousand Desolation Land, yet had entered the Tenth Realm. The first was Old Taoist Lingxu, and both of them were from the Old Monarch Temple.

It must be said that the cultivation of the Old Monarch Temple, when taken to the extreme and combined with pure Taoist methods, was faster than those guys who just fought and killed all the time.

The three major offerings of the royal family had only now cultivated to the level of the old offering back then. In the words of Old Ancestor Lingxu, they were already at the peak of the Legendary Realm, and with another opportunity to push them, they could break through immediately. But they were not true Tenth Realm experts after all, and could only be said to be at the 9.999999 Realm.

Calculated in this way, the Grand Master was definitely the most powerful cultivation genius in the Old Monarch Temple below Old Ancestor Lingxu, and his vision and pattern were definitely stronger than the three major offerings. No matter how powerful the three major offerings were, firstly, their physical disabilities might also cause psychological problems, and secondly, they had been living under others for a long time, completely lacking the aura of the Grand Master who had dominated the world, so it was understandable that their cultivation could not keep up with the Grand Master.

Seeing the Grand Master welcoming them personally, none of the three dared to be arrogant and obediently dismounted to salute. The Grand Master welcomed the three into the temple, kindly encouraged the two women, and then the two women took the initiative to find an excuse to burn incense, following a young Taoist arranged by the Grand Master to leave. Only Wang Sheng and the Grand Master remained.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Wang Sheng had seen the Grand Master since his breakthrough. Compared to after the last concert, the Grand Master seemed more amiable and more cordial, looking like a kind uncle, without any sense of deterrence or pressure, just like an ordinary person.

Wang Sheng knew that this was the Grand Master's true understanding of the realm of cultivation, which led to the convergence of divine light. When Wang Sheng first met Old Taoist Lingxu, the old Taoist looked like an ordinary person, and it was impossible to tell that he was a peerless expert. Now the Grand Master was finally able to enter this realm.

"Congratulations, Grand Master!" When they were alone, Wang Sheng smiled and congratulated the Grand Master. The Grand Master also politely returned the compliment before asking Wang Sheng's purpose.

"Two purposes," Wang Sheng didn't need to play any other tricks in front of the Grand Master, and said directly: "First, I plan to hold a concert in advance, and I have reserved two hundred people for the Old Monarch Temple. As for other people, just wait for the one in half a month. Second, among those scrolls, is there any useful content?"
