Dragon's Origin

"Lord, do you agree with my valuation?" After finishing his assessment, Elder Qian asked Wang Sheng, who was standing nearby.

"Elder Qian's estimate of my worth is pretty close," Wang Sheng said with a smile. "My status should be worth about three million gold coins, right?"

Mei'er and Rose certainly felt that this valuation was low. A supreme-grade item personally crafted by the esteemed Changsheng Gong, let alone adding three million, even adding thirty million, Mei'er would definitely buy it without hesitation if it were for sale.

However, since Wang Sheng said it was close enough, then it was close enough. Anyway, in Mei'er and Rose's hearts, how could they sell something made by their master to exchange it for mere gold coins?

"Lord, do you perhaps think there's a problem with my valuation of the craftsmanship?" Elder Qian heard something else in Wang Sheng's words and asked him.

"The craftsmanship valuation is also about right," Wang Sheng shook his head. "The number isn't too far off."

"Then does Lord think there's a problem with the overall valuation?" Elder Qian didn't understand. If the value of the craftsmanship was about right, and the value of his status was also about right, then why did Wang Sheng say that?

"Elder Qian has underestimated one thing," Wang Sheng smiled and said to Elder Qian.

"Which thing?" Elder Qian didn't understand and asked directly. Anyway, he knew that Wang Sheng definitely wouldn't hide anything and would explain it clearly.

"Design," Wang Sheng didn't play coy and answered very straightforwardly.

"Lord, are you referring to the idea of this concentric ghost-craft ball?" Elder Qian pondered for a moment and said to Wang Sheng somewhat doubtfully, "Although this idea is indeed original and has the potential to establish a new school of thought, these have already been included in the value of the craftsmanship!"

Wang Sheng smiled and shook his head, looking at the concentric ball. At this point, if Elder Qian still didn't understand that this concentric ghost-craft ball had other hidden secrets, then he wouldn't be Elder Qian.

"What else hasn't been revealed? Tell me quickly!" Grandmaster Lu, who had been listening all this time, couldn't bear it any longer and urged Wang Sheng.

Even the people who were admiring it were attracted to it. There were hidden secrets in this concentric ghost-craft ball? Everyone had been looking at it for so long, why hadn't they discovered it?

Wang Sheng smiled and pointed to the base: "There is also an array on the base that can be activated."

The array on the base was inside the groove, and couldn't be seen from the outside at all. There were array masters present, but even if there were array fluctuations, everyone would naturally assume that it was the array on the nested balls, and wouldn't think of anything else. After all, the array on the nested balls was very obvious.

Because of this, everyone subconsciously ignored the array on the base. After all, the base was too ordinary, just an ordinary hand-carved base. Now it seemed that it wasn't that simple.

The array grandmaster who hadn't discovered the array on the base lost face. He stepped forward and carefully sensed it. Only then did he sense a very faint array fluctuation. Originally, this concentric ghost-craft ball was very fragile, and they didn't dare to have a strong array on it. The array fluctuation was extremely weak, and it was normal not to discover it.

Since Wang Sheng had pointed it out, everyone no longer studied what the array was, but directly activated the array by the array master.

Without everyone using thin needles to move it, all the nested balls inside and outside the concentric ball began to rotate.

The different nested balls rotated at different speeds, gradually reaching the rotational speed designed by Wang Sheng from slow to fast.

A magical scene happened. During the rotation, everyone clearly saw different image changes.

Regular patterns appeared on the rotating concentric ball. As the rotation speed increased, the patterns became more and more complex. After reaching a certain point, they suddenly simplified and became minimalist.

After the entire concentric ball reached the rotational speed designed by Wang Sheng, everyone could only see a white lotus flower blooming in a sphere. The lotus flower was very regular, lifelike, and the inner and outer petals seemed to be clearly visible from all angles.

"Wow!" A chorus of exclamations came from the crowd, everyone staring at the white lotus flower that seemed to be sealed in the white jade ball, their faces full of disbelief.

For a very long time, the scene was silent, and even the sound of everyone's breathing couldn't be heard. It seemed that everyone was holding their breath, afraid that a breath would blow away the delicate white lotus.

"So beautiful!" Finally, Mei'er's exclamation broke the silence, and then everyone heard the sound of everyone breathing in unison.

This sound stunned everyone, and then they burst out laughing in tacit agreement. It turned out that everyone was the same, and was fascinated by this ingenious design, even forgetting to breathe.

They were all grandmasters. After discovering that there was such a delicate design, everyone not only didn't feel embarrassed, but became more and more interested. Several impatient people had already begun to study why this was happening.

It wasn't strange that something rotating would present a regular circular image. The amazing thing was that Wang Sheng had used this point to set different rotational speeds for the fifty layers of nested balls inside and outside, allowing people to see a lifelike white lotus. This was where the skill lay.

The array didn't continuously input spiritual energy. After rotating for about ten minutes, the rotation speed began to slow down. Right in front of everyone's eyes, the white lotus flower slowly turned into a regular complex pattern, then became simple again, and finally all the nested balls stopped.

When it was quiet, the positions of all the nested balls were still just right, and the conical processing holes reappeared in front of everyone.

"Amazing!" This time, Elder Qian didn't say anything and directly gave Wang Sheng a thumbs up.

Including Elder Qian, no one thought that this concentric ghost-craft ball could be played like this, and played so beautifully.

If they didn't know that Wang Sheng definitely didn't lack gold coins, and Mei'er would never let anyone buy such a beautiful and commemorative item, perhaps all the grandmasters present would have planned to buy this white jade concentric ghost-craft white lotus ball.

The way everyone looked at this concentric ball was no longer a simple appreciation, but a kind of infatuation.

For craftsmanship, there was first-class craftsmanship here. For creativity, there was imaginative creativity. For surprises, there were unique surprises. Almost everything that every grandmaster pursued in their lifetime was contained in this ball. Who wouldn't want such a good thing?

"This is mine! No one can even think about snatching it from me!" Seeing that everyone's eyes were not right, Mei'er rushed in front of everyone at lightning speed, blocking the white jade ball behind her, as if her favorite toy was being eyed by others, and instantly turned into a protective beast.
