Dragon's Origin

Chapter 680: Couldn't Wait Even a Month (Part 2)

Now that things had been said so clearly, if Steward Zhou still didn't understand, then his decades, even centuries, in the royal palace would have been for nothing.

“Thank you, Duke, for your consideration!” Steward Zhou quickly bowed to Wang Sheng in gratitude. “This servant will return to the palace to inform His Majesty and send people over.”

“The three of you shouldn't come this time.” Wang Sheng nodded and added a word of caution.

“Why?” Steward Zhou was surprised. Wang Sheng had just said that only the three of them could withstand it, so why not let them come?

“How novel!” Wang Sheng wore a look of disappointment, scolding Steward Zhou, “Everyone else died, and only the three of you survived. What, do you think you're not conspicuous enough already?”

Steward Zhou was blinded by his own desires. When he heard Wang Sheng say that the three of them could withstand it, he couldn't help but want to witness the legendary, incredibly powerful new piece of music from Wang Sheng's manor guards. Wang Sheng's reminder made him instantly realize, and without another word, he immediately thanked him.

“Thank you, Duke, for your guidance!” Steward Zhou solemnly bowed to Wang Sheng, then cupped his fist and quickly left the Grand View Garden without saying anything more.

Wang Sheng's conditions quickly spread, and no one had any objections. Except for the requirement that half the people had to be ordinary, which everyone found puzzling, the rest was not surprising at all.

Twenty thousand gold coins per person was the market price for a Grandmaster's performance. Wang Sheng didn't ask for more or less. As for the life-or-death aspect, everyone just treated it as a joke, a shield Wang Sheng used to prevent others from enjoying the power of the new music in advance.

All the guards in the Changsheng Duke's manor couldn't listen to a piece of music? Who were they fooling with this kind of ridiculous claim? Only the beauties could listen, but the guards in Wang Sheng's manor couldn't?

Each description was so vivid, saying they went to listen but couldn't endure it. How absurd! Who didn't know that the guards in Wang Sheng's manor were more tight-lipped than sealed cans? Would they say so much to outsiders? If Wang Sheng hadn't nodded or authorized it, would they have said so much?!

In short, everyone was curious and eager, not wanting to wait even a month to know the answer. Since Wang Sheng allowed them to send people in to listen, everyone immediately began selecting people without another word.

The gold coins were sent over early. Two million gold coins for ten people was cheap. As for Wang Sheng's requirement that there had to be ordinary people, they would comply. However, they also had to find a few ordinary people who were extremely loyal, at least people who would report everything they heard and saw.

The day after Wang Sheng made the announcement, two hours before the concert in the afternoon, various parties began sending people over one after another. Ten from each family, five cultivation experts and five ordinary people.

Each family basically thought the same way. Since they were coming to probe the truth, they sent a peak-stage Legend realm expert, a novice Legend realm expert, and one each from the eighth, seventh, and sixth stages. In addition, there were five ordinary people who had never cultivated.

Of course, these people were not qualified to enter the Grand View Garden. They were just taken to the guest rooms on the periphery to rest. However, as Wang Sheng said, regardless of food or drink, when guests came to the door, not even a cup of water was offered.

It seemed a bit rude, but for these so-called guests, it was the best and most reassuring arrangement. They also knew the purpose of this trip. If they ate or drank something at Wang Sheng's place and something went wrong, no one could explain it clearly, so they simply didn't prepare anything and took care of themselves.

The royal family also sent people over. Three little eunuchs who clearly hadn't cultivated much, two little palace maids, two Imperial Guard experts, and three younger eunuch experts. Judging by their cultivation, they seemed to have reached the eighth stage, and one was even at the Legend realm.

The newly built Changsheng Duke's manor's grand theater was located in a former residential area outside the Grand View Garden, which had been bought and flattened to build the grand theater.

The grand theater had many seats, but half of the left side was separated, only allowing people from various families to sit on the right side. More than six hundred seats, but only a hundred or so people were seated, making it seem very spacious. The families were basically arranged together, with several rows or columns between each other, so no one would affect anyone else.

This arrangement made the people from various families very satisfied. Anyway, they weren't here to fight to the death, just to find out some inside information. This arrangement was very suitable.

Not long after the people from various families entered, the women from the Grand View Garden quickly arrived. Everyone sat down in their respective seats in an orderly manner, ignoring the people in the seats on the right, and quietly waited for the concert to begin.

Less than ten minutes after the beauties arrived, Master Yu and the Grandmaster musicians came to the stage. People from various parties also saw Wang Sheng, Me'er, and Old Daoist Lingxu appear in the upper-level box.

Everyone was present, Master Yu stood up and first saluted the audience according to the rules of the concert. All the audience also stood up and applauded in an orderly manner.

Master Yu also knew what kind of audience had been added to this performance. He was a little helpless about this. Before the performance started, Master Yu stood on the podium and reminded the newcomers a few more times.

“No matter who you are, but here, I must remind you, do not mobilize your spiritual energy with all your strength.” Master Yu also did not want corpses to be strewn across his concert, so he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate: “Once you find something wrong, stop cultivating immediately! It is best to hold a pill in your mouth that can make you pass out immediately, even if something goes wrong with your cultivation, it is better than dying! I have said all that needs to be said, I wish you all good luck!”

After speaking, Master Yu turned around and began to tap the music stand with his baton. Everyone prepared their instruments, and then Master Yu waved his hand, and the music began.

At the beginning, it was still soothing music, guiding everyone into a state of cultivation. At least the first four pieces were like this. It was not until the fifth piece that Flight of the Bumblebee began to be played.

The women had become accustomed to this state of cultivation. Everyone listened very carefully and cultivated very carefully. They were truly fearless, frantically mobilizing their spiritual energy, not caring about retracting or not retracting.

This state also caused several Legend realm experts from various parties to frown frequently. But out of caution, they still followed Master Yu's words, never fully exerting their power, and carefully began to enter a state of cultivation according to the rhythm of the previous few pieces.

Several pieces of music in a row were very soothing, and everyone cultivated very comfortably. Suddenly, some people relaxed their vigilance, and the spiritual energy they mobilized unknowingly increased. On the other hand, those ordinary people had no spiritual energy perception at all, only feeling that the music was very pleasant, and they were very fortunate to have the opportunity to listen to a concert worth 200,000 gold coins per person, and they listened with great interest at this moment.

Suddenly, the rhythm of the band changed drastically, and the wild rhythm of Flight of the Bumblebee was played out.
