Dragon's Origin

## Chapter 541: Turmoil in the Capital (Part 2)

The day after Wang Sheng returned to the capital, on the afternoon after Wang Sheng took a stroll around the Royal Academy of Arts, exciting news spread that very evening.

In half a month, the Royal Grand Theater would once again host an all Grandmaster-level concert, with tickets priced at 100,000 gold coins each. Tickets would be on sale soon.

It was said that when Wang Sheng returned, those Grandmasters stopped teaching and moved into the Changsheng Duke's residence with Wang Sheng.

Others might not know, but the musicians of the Royal Symphony Orchestra were well aware that the small theater in the Changsheng Duke's residence would likely have someone playing every day for the next period.

When one reaches the Grandmaster level in playing instruments like Master Yu and the others, there are not many temptations in this world besides the pursuit of art. Especially when they can earn hundreds of millions of gold coins from a single performance, ensuring they have no worries about food or clothing, they are left with nothing but the pursuit of higher artistic expression.

As for cultivation, to put it bluntly, as long as they maintain their pursuit of their performance, cultivation is actually just their daily life. They don't have to worry about their realm either. Their music can help listeners advance, so is there any difficulty for them?.

Isn't the spiritual Qi tempering from each performance only beneficial to the audience? Wouldn't these Grandmaster musicians, who harmoniously balance the massive spiritual Qi clusters, receive even greater benefits? It's obvious that's impossible.

Wang Sheng and Lingxu Old Daoist realized from the aura on the golden hairpin that true masters had perfectly unified life and cultivation. However, they had never realized before that these Grandmaster musicians had already perfectly achieved this even before reaching the Legendary realm.

In fact, even these Grandmasters themselves didn't realize they had such a realm. In this world, if it weren't for Wang Sheng completely refining the charm of music, these Grandmasters would probably still be living in seclusion in their own small worlds, indifferent to worldly affairs, like Master Yu and the others before.

The news of the concert spread faster than the war situation in the Shanyue Kingdom. By midnight, it had spread throughout all the countries.

No vassal state would嫌弃 their own masters being too many. Upon receiving the news, they immediately arranged for personnel to rush to the capital day and night. Even the Qiu and Xia countries, which were fighting fiercely with the Shanyue Kingdom, were the same. No matter how difficult the battle situation was, they had to send a group of masters to the capital to listen to the concert and achieve breakthroughs.

Of course, the Qiu and Xia countries had other purposes. They had originally planned to set off in the next day or two anyway. It just so happened that they caught up with the news of the concert, so it was perfect to go together. This saved them from having to find reasons to conceal their purpose. They could use the simple reason of asking for concert tickets to perfunctorily visit Wang Sheng.

Obviously, this time Baoqing Yutang would no longer have the opportunity to cultivate their own masters. Another slightly regretful person was the City Lord of Worry-Free City, because of that damned Uncle Li, the originally very tacit relationship with Wang Sheng had now become estranged. Going to the capital would definitely allow them to buy tickets from Wang Sheng, but there probably wouldn't be an opportunity for Wang Sheng to give them special care.

In the evening, in the small theater of the Changsheng Duke's residence, those Grandmasters who hadn't had anyone appreciate and comment on their performances for a long time finally had a satisfying experience.

Returning home without showing off wealth is like wearing brocade at night. The same principle applies to improving performance skills without having a few connoisseurs to appreciate them. It's unbearably depressing!

Ordinary people don't even have the chance to listen to Grandmaster performances. Only the students in the advanced classes have the opportunity to receive their guidance. Wanting to hear a complete performance by a Grandmaster, apart from concerts, even those students don't have the chance.

The only opportunity is in the small theater of the Changsheng Duke's residence. Because of Wang Sheng's freakish ears, because only Wang Sheng can hear the flaws in their performances, and at the same time, can point out the wonders of their performances. Because only Wang Sheng can say "How towering are the high mountains, how surging is the flowing water," and can understand the meaning they want to express in their music.

This point, even the Grandmasters who were originally friends with Master Yu and played other instruments might not be able to achieve. Being able to become their respective friends basically means being able to satisfy one or two of these requirements, but only Wang Sheng can completely satisfy them.

In a few months, because the Grandmasters had previous performance experience, coupled with the timbre of new instruments such as the piano and violin, their skills had improved qualitatively. In particular, based on the characteristics of the new instruments and music, they had composed a batch of completely new pieces based on the instruments they were good at.

In the internal exchanges among the Grandmasters, everyone had already performed and modified and improved according to the opinions of all parties. Now they were just waiting for Wang Sheng's ears to go through it once and give the final conclusion. There was no way, Wang Sheng now had the ability to make the final appreciation in the eyes of the Grandmasters.

Even in small theater performances, the Grandmasters didn't perform individually, but the entire band cooperated. It's just that the other Grandmasters were willing to be supporting roles, playing accompaniment for their old friends who were the main performers.

Wang Sheng, Mei'er, Qiangwei, as well as the few Qing-generation old Daoists who were permanent residents in the Changsheng Duke's residence, plus a dozen carefully selected guards, these were all the listeners.

It was a small-scale performance, and Wang Sheng didn't want to make too much noise, so he selected guards who wouldn't immediately advance but had good comprehension. These guards were lucky. Others didn't easily have such an opportunity, which made them even more loyal to Wang Sheng.

A group of Grandmasters took turns playing the new songs they had composed in the past few months. Then Wang Sheng appreciated and commented on them. After each person's performance, they all looked at Wang Sheng expectantly, waiting for Wang Sheng to say his insights so that they could have a more comprehensive and intuitive understanding.

Grandmasters are Grandmasters, even new music can drive the rhythm of cultivation. At least Wang Sheng didn't have to put in much effort to practice the Six-Word Mantra in this rhythm, and it was very easy.

The newest novel is first published in the Six-9-Book-Bar!

Naturally, Wang Sheng wouldn't only focus on cultivation. His freakish ears allowed Wang Sheng to hear the changes in every note, and even more so, to hear the emotions in every piece of music.

In this world, perhaps only those who are old enough and have seen enough of the world can fully comprehend these things. But for Wang Sheng from Earth, in the era of the Internet explosion, Wang Sheng had heard of and seen all kinds of bizarre things, and there was little he couldn't understand.

Therefore, when Wang Sheng opened his mouth and accurately said the emotions and feelings that each new song wanted to express, the Grandmasters who listened to the comments were so excited that they couldn't express it in words, and they only felt that every sentence was said to their hearts. A kindred spirit!
