Dragon's Origin

The newly built grand theater has twelve hundred seats. After accommodating all the ladies from the Grand View Garden, there are still over five hundred seats remaining. The guards and maids all have the opportunity to listen in shifts, which is a great boost to everyone's cultivation!

A group of grandmasters solemnly guaranteed that as long as everyone accepted the method Wang Sheng provided, they would perform continuously in Wang Sheng's grand theater for a month and a half. Although there was an element of jest, in reality, they might also have a desire to repay Wang Sheng.

If it weren't for Wang Sheng, they would definitely still be living in seclusion in the mountains, with only a few close friends scattered across the country, rarely seeing each other, each playing their own music until they grew old. Perhaps they would cultivate one or two disciples to pass on their skills, but it would be impossible to have such glory as they have now!

Although they have reached a realm where they no longer care about fame and glory, Wang Sheng has allowed their beloved music to ascend to the highest halls of art, making them, these musicians, guests of honor among the powerful, increasing their status and income. This is not just a matter for one or two people, but a comprehensive improvement for the entire music world.

Even those who don't care about these things, they still like the improvement of the music itself, right? The king of instruments, the piano, and various other violins and guitars were born, the staff notation method made a groundbreaking debut, and countless new songs entered this world. Each of these things made these people who pursue pure music infinitely happy.

They originally thought that their pursuit had reached its peak, but every time everyone felt it was almost perfect, Wang Sheng would point out an even more perfect world to them, making these eighty, ninety, and hundred-year-old fellows feel like they were experiencing a second spring.

"Then please forgive my intrusion," Wang Sheng said, seeing everyone nodding, without much hesitation, he spoke directly.

Everyone quieted down, listening carefully. Wang Sheng's opening with 'forgive my intrusion' clearly indicated that he wouldn't be saying pleasant things. However, as long as it was reasonable, everyone wouldn't mind Wang Sheng's slightly harsh words.

"I just heard everyone talking about the strengths and weaknesses of their cultivation methods," Wang Sheng said sincerely, "To be honest, the cultivation methods that you masters are currently practicing are still considered fairly common, lacking the secret transmissions of various major families. Compared to truly top-level techniques, there is still a certain gap."

This didn't need Wang Sheng to say, everyone was clear about it. If they had the top secret transmissions of various major families, then they wouldn't be at their current cultivation level. Wang Sheng saying that their cultivation methods were common was already giving them face. If they were to really delve into it, among so many of them, at least ten or so were practicing very ordinary low-level techniques, at most a little better than the unrated ones.

"I have studied many cultivation methods and have seen many advanced techniques," Wang Sheng said, not to show off how powerful his own techniques were, but to state a fact, "However, among those I have seen, whether it is the royal family's advanced techniques, or the top techniques of certain families, or even the top techniques of the Daoist sect, almost none are truly suitable for you masters to use when playing music."

A group of grandmasters frowned as they listened. They believed that Wang Sheng had definitely seen some of the royal family's top techniques, and he must have also seen the Daoist sect's top techniques. With Wang Sheng's cultivation and his understanding of music, if he said they were not suitable, then they must not be suitable.

"Is there no exception?" someone asked, unwilling to give up.

"The top techniques of the various lords and major sects are usually biased towards combat," Wang Sheng continued to explain, "As you also know, cultivation methods without combat power, unless they specialize in formations and alchemy, are considered worthless in the eyes of those large families and major sects."

Everyone nodded. Before the effect of musical performances was developed by Wang Sheng, those musicians were in such an awkward position. There was no need to deny it. Having no status meant having no status.

"The techniques of the royal family and the Daoist sect are relatively more peaceful," Wang Sheng then commented, "However, the royal family focuses on developing brainpower for health and longevity. The Daoist sect is moderate and peaceful, unbiased, but has no special strengths. Relative to music, it is not suitable."

Wang Sheng's analysis was well-founded, and everyone understood and nodded in agreement.

"Based on my analysis, I think a cultivation method suitable for playing music should have these advantages," Wang Sheng said to everyone in a negotiating tone, "You have rich practical performance experience, much better than my theoretical talk. You also help analyze whether it is right or not."

Everyone was led by Wang Sheng's rhythm and began to think along with Wang Sheng.

"First of all, I think, no matter what cultivation method, strengthening the body is always necessary, right?" Wang Sheng said with a smile, first stating the simplest requirement, "We are not going to fight, there is no need for the technique to have some kind of deviation that greatly reduces other aspects of the body in order to improve a certain combat ability, as long as it ensures physical health and a long and steady flow of Qi. What do you think, Master Yu?"

"That makes sense," Master Yu nodded, "We really don't need to participate in combat. This long and steady flow of Qi is a must, otherwise, some wind instruments will not work."

Master Dan also nodded frequently. He played the flute, a typical wind instrument, and a long and steady flow of Qi would definitely be beneficial. Although some other masters may not play wind instruments, this was obviously reasonable.

"Secondly, a strong sense of rhythm is needed," Wang Sheng summarized another characteristic, "Musical performance requires a high degree of rhythm and beat. If the cultivation method can reflect this, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

This time, everyone nodded frequently again. If someone who plays music has no sense of rhythm, then forget it. If they can't even produce the most basic beat, how can they study music? How can they play music? Therefore, this one also passed with a unanimous vote.

"Third, it's best to increase hearing, especially the judgment of pitch and intonation," Wang Sheng summarized another characteristic, "This goes without saying, right?"

Everyone nodded. Good hearing is definitely beneficial to music, needless to say, no one would disagree.

"Finally, although we don't need to fight, being able to make fingers and arms flexible, everyone should agree with this, right?" Wang Sheng said another feature, and then asked everyone.

Playing musical instruments, blowing, pulling, plucking, tapping, besides the mouth, isn't it using fingers and arms? Flexible fingers and arms are beneficial for playing any instrument.

"Does anyone have anything to add?" Wang Sheng asked everyone after summarizing himself.
