Dragon's Origin

Chapter 680: Can't Wait Even a Month (Part 1)

What followed was still an insane level of cultivation. The women continued their daily routine: eating meat, cultivating in the formation, listening to music, as regular as clockwork and as precise as machines.

If there was any difference, it was that they were eating twice as much "squid tentacles" each day. The improvement in their cultivation increased the speed at which they refined spiritual Qi, so they could absorb twice the amount in time. At the same time, the music they listened to each day changed from the guiding tracks to Flight of the Bumblebee.

The guards were still allowed to listen to the grandmaster's performances, but they were sternly warned not to try to cultivate along with the fast-paced Flight of the Bumblebee music.

To this end, Wang Sheng even took an entire morning to let the guards who had the opportunity to take turns listen to a solo flute performance by Grandmaster Dan. He also warned everyone that they were allowed to use no more than one-tenth of their own spiritual Qi. Wang Sheng actually wanted to know if there were any other cultivation methods that could adapt to the cultivation rhythm of Flight of the Bumblebee!

Unfortunately, after more than a thousand guards listened to it, even if it was just a solo performance by Grandmaster Dan, and even if the grandmaster himself restrained his aura and only used one-tenth of his spiritual Qi, still no one could pass this test. There was no way, they were forbidden from cultivating during the evening concerts. They could listen to music if they wanted, but if they wanted to cultivate, there would probably only be one result.

The guards knew their limitations. Since they couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the grandmaster's performance, what was the point of just listening to the music? So all the guards wisely did not participate in the evening concerts.

However, under Wang Sheng's instructions, several guards selectively revealed some information about the grandmaster's concerts to the outside world. Of course, the main point was that the grandmasters were practicing a new piece written by Wang Sheng. Even the grandmasters had not fully mastered this piece, and even the guards of the Changsheng Duke's mansion were unable to withstand the power of the piece.

The information Wang Sheng revealed also included the fact that the women of the Grand View Garden were able to easily withstand the grandmaster's new piece because they were not cultivating combat techniques. This was also a foreshadowing, to save the outside world from guessing and also to pique their curiosity and make them itch with anticipation.

A piece that the grandmaster's orchestra could not fully control, a piece that more than a thousand guards could not listen to completely, what was it?

From the moment the news was released, the entire capital, or even the entire world, was shrouded in an indescribable curiosity. Everyone was looking forward to seeing the grandmaster's performance, but everyone was also worried about whether they could withstand it.

The level of Wang Sheng's guards could be judged by many. If they couldn't withstand it, then who could? Did they really have to be like the beauties in Wang Sheng's mansion, only cultivating techniques for preserving youth and beauty?

It wasn't just the various lords who were curious, but also the Emperor. So, just two days after Wang Sheng released the news, Steward Zhou from the Emperor's side came to the door.

"You want to listen?" Wang Sheng asked Steward Zhou playfully, "Is that all?"

"Duke, this is not His Majesty's intention," Steward Zhou said with a bitter smile, looking at Wang Sheng and explaining with a smile on his face, "Duke, you also know that not everyone can enter your Grand View Garden. It is only my honor to be able to enter, so His Majesty asked me to send a message."

The message Steward Zhou brought was not just the Emperor's request, but a joint request from the various lords to the Emperor, wanting to come in and listen to the grandmaster's new piece. Their own channels could not send in any information at all, so they could only try to get information from the Emperor's side. Anyway, Wang Sheng was in the capital, so he would always give the Emperor some face.

"Are they not afraid of death?" Wang Sheng was very strange about these people's logic. He clearly told them it was dangerous, but there were always people who rushed forward regardless of life and death.

"Some people always think that Duke is deliberately mystifying, wanting to dominate..." Steward Zhou only said half a sentence, but he had fully expressed what he wanted to express.

"There's still more than a month left, can't they even wait for that?" Wang Sheng laughed in anger. His original intention was to reveal some information to those guys to make them behave, but he didn't expect how greedy those guys were.

"Who knows?" Steward Zhou had obviously figured out Wang Sheng's personality, and replied noncommittally, "Anyway, His Majesty definitely doesn't mean that. The piece was composed by you, Duke, and the grandmaster's orchestra are also your friends. Even if this piece never sees the light of day, it's your business, Duke, and it has nothing to do with others."

That was still a sentence. Wang Sheng nodded. He believed that the Emperor would definitely not act rashly now, because the core map of the Thousand Desolation Land was about to be sold, and the various lords would definitely fight to the death in the core of the Thousand Desolation Land. This was in the Emperor's interest, so the Emperor would definitely be happy to see it happen. How could he cause trouble for Wang Sheng at this time and create unnecessary complications?

Wang Sheng's interests did not conflict with the Emperor's, because Wang Sheng had no territory, and Wang Sheng was not strong enough to threaten the royal family at any time, especially since everything Wang Sheng had was within the Emperor's territory and controllable. But the various lords could make the royal family suffer at any time. The Emperor knew very well who was the enemy and who was the friend.

"Then let their people come and listen," Wang Sheng sneered. "If someone wants to die, then fulfill them. Old Zhou, tell them that each family is allowed to send ten people to listen, but among the ten people, there must be five ordinary people who have never cultivated and have no spiritual Qi in their bodies. The remaining five people, they can choose whoever they want, preferably the ones with the highest cultivation or the highest status to listen."

Wang Sheng, who was at the peak of the legendary realm, could not withstand the powerful power of Flight of the Bumblebee before he had the new Tranquility and Subtlety mental method. Which of the experts from the various families could? Unless they were beyond this realm.

Letting people in at this time was not bad. Either he would kill these experts from the various families, or he would know the true realm of some experts who could withstand it. Anyway, it was not a loss for Wang Sheng.

"However, two hundred thousand gold coins per person, no one can try to get away with it," Wang Sheng continued to instruct Zhou Steward, "Regardless of food or drink, let them prepare it themselves. Also, life and death are their own responsibility. Don't think they've been wronged when someone dies. No one invited them to come. I've seen people rushing to get rich, rushing to get wealthy, but I've never seen people rushing to die."

"Duke, what about His Majesty's side?" Steward Zhou asked cautiously.

"The same," Wang Sheng said without any favoritism, "The three of you can probably barely listen to a few segments, the others can forget it. If there are any guys who are not very respectful to the three of you, you can send them over."
