Dragon's Origin

Chapter 385: New Ability (Part 1)

The little eunuch left, overjoyed. He was going back to tell Ancestor Li the good news, even though he didn't know what the Marquis meant by it. But since the Marquis had solemnly asked him to deliver the message, it must be good news.

If Ancestor Li was happy upon hearing this news, maybe he could get a lot of benefits again. It seemed that as long as he followed the Marquis, he would definitely have a bright future.

After the little eunuch left, Wang Sheng turned to the Grand Master and said, "Master, find a few knowledgeable disciples. When the compensation comes, pick out the good stuff and send a batch to the Old Lord Temple. Especially those that can be used in the Thousand Absolutes Land, prioritize them."

The Grand Master seemed indifferent to money and wealth, but the camp in the Thousand Absolutes Land was really important. So, the Grand Master didn't decline and nodded sincerely, saying, "Okay!" He once again remembered the Elder's kindness in his heart.

Mei'er also had the accompanying guards notify Uncle Liu and the others, but she stayed here with Wang Sheng.

"Why were you so against taking the blame before, but now you're taking the initiative to do so?" Mei'er asked, puzzled. Back in the Scripture Depository, with only Wang Sheng and Mei'er present, Mei'er asked curiously.

"Because the previous blame was someone deliberately trying to make me take," Wang Sheng said with a smile. "I'm someone who responds to kindness, not force. If you force me to take the blame, I definitely won't. But since they have already shown enough sincerity and have already done it, then I don't mind taking the blame. Cooperation requires both sides to contribute. Besides, there's no harm in taking this blame."

"What are the benefits?" Mei'er asked.

"When someone wants to target Runzi Workshop again, they'll have to consider whether they're stronger than this bunch of uncles, princes, and high-ranking officials combined," Wang Sheng said with a smile. "Someone is giving us free prestige, why not take it? Isn't this reputation great? It occupies morality and reason, and others have nothing to say. How great is that?"

"Since it's cooperation, if we receive so many things, won't Uncle Su and the others feel it's unfair?" Mei'er understood the benefits and started thinking about the distribution.

"Yes, they will!" Wang Sheng said with a smile. "Since it's cooperation, we can't let others do the work while we get the reputation and take the lion's share. After the Grand Master and the others pick out a batch of essential things, you give a large portion of the rest to Aunt Su. Don't say it's for Uncle Su, just say it's a filial offering to your godmother. Who can say no? Don't tell Uncle Su first, let him feel uncomfortable first."

Mei'er giggled and nodded, looking like a cunning little fox who had stolen a chicken.

Wang Sheng couldn't leave the Old Lord Temple yet, because although the advancement was completed, only half of the real work was done. The acupoint transformation hadn't started yet, and there were still sixty-four acupoints waiting for Wang Sheng to convert.

Sometimes Wang Sheng felt very regretful. The advancement in this world was too dangerous. Once the spiritual energy tempering started, it couldn't be interrupted, and this period would last a long time. If someone took the opportunity to attack, they would definitely not survive.

He had read many novels on Earth where leveling up was completed instantly and then fully healed. The burning small universe would instantly turn him into a master among masters. If those people came to the Origin Soul World, he wondered how many times they would die in battle.

Wang Sheng himself was suffering from it now. This was just the Qiongqi Transformation, which was considered an advancement to the seventh level, but the spiritual energy tempering alone took four days and four nights. The days needed in the future would definitely be even longer.

In the Scripture Depository of the Old Lord Temple, Wang Sheng continued to complete the acupoint transformation with peace of mind. Sixty-four acupoints needed to be converted, which would take at least the same amount of time.

Chief Manager Li received the message that the little eunuch brought back from Wang Sheng and was immediately dumbfounded. After encouraging the newly promoted Chief Manager, Chief Manager Li relayed Wang Sheng's words to the Emperor verbatim.

The Emperor was also dumbfounded after hearing this. When he wanted Wang Sheng to take the blame, Wang Sheng immediately passed the buck without saying a word. But when the Emperor understood and decided to take the blame himself, Wang Sheng took the initiative to do so. It was simply playing with people!

However, upon further reflection, the Emperor could sense Wang Sheng's thoughts from his change. Cooperation required a cooperative attitude. Wang Sheng had never forced the Emperor to do anything, nor had he ever acted on his own without notifying him. On the contrary, the Emperor often wanted to play some tricks.

Comparing the two, the Emperor was at a disadvantage and felt embarrassed. The Empress Dowager soon found out and laughed at the Emperor.

The royal family acted quickly. After learning Wang Sheng's intentions, they didn't delay for long. Soon, those princes and important officials who had been taken down were convicted of privately mobilizing troops and treason, and were sentenced to immediate execution with their families exterminated. The official reason was this, but privately, it was rumored that these people wanted to target Runzi Workshop, touched the interests of the royal family, and were decisively exterminated.

As soon as the news came out, those who originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Runzi Workshop all retreated. So many princes and important officials didn't survive. If they, these small fries, dared to reach out, wouldn't they be delivering food? Did they think there weren't enough heads on the execution ground, and they were adding to the count?

A storm that seemed to sweep through many places quickly subsided within ten days and became calm, as if nothing had happened.

The original team of Runzi Workshop smoothly took over the various estates one by one, and continued to organize the villagers to start production. In less than two days, order was completely restored. Except for a missing group of people and some villagers who had been tortured, everything else completely returned to normal.

Wang Sheng originally thought that the Five-Line Notation brought to Wang Sheng during the Qiongqi Transformation was the ability to consciously shield and filter out some feelings, and that it brought about the second enhancement. But when Wang Sheng began to convert the acupoints, Wang Sheng realized that the Five-Line Notation in the Origin Soul Space didn't bring about this.

The second enhancement was a balanced enhancement after Wang Sheng's senses of sight, hearing, taste, and smell were simultaneously improved. This was the body's self-regulation. If Wang Sheng could also enhance his sense of touch, then Wang Sheng would have all five of the so-called senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, with only the sixth sense remaining.

Unfortunately, so far, Wang Sheng hasn't figured out which of the possible Nine Sons of the Dragon would enhance the sense of touch, and the sixth sense is even more out of the question.

But now, Wang Sheng clearly discovered the super-enhancement of hearing brought by the Five-Line Notation, or rather, an enhancement of the sense of vibration. During cultivation, Wang Sheng had shielded all normal feelings, but Wang Sheng could still clearly feel the positions and movements of everyone around the Scripture Depository.
