Dragon's Origin

“You know, we, Baoqing Yu Tang, have business dealings with Linglong Pavilion.” The female owner felt that she might not be able to get Wang Sheng's refined salt production method with just that, so she started adding more: “Among them, there are two grandmasters who make armor.”

Wang Sheng was obviously tempted, and didn't speak, but his eyes signaled the female owner to continue.

“When you were assassinated yesterday, what kind of leather blocked the assassin's last strike?” The female owner had done several businesses with Wang Sheng and dealt with him several times, so she asked very directly: “What realm was it?”

“It is said to be a six-star Night Star Wolf's.” Wang Sheng didn't hide anything. Many people saw the scene, and many people knew that he had a sixth-level realm monster beast's item, which was no secret: “An adult one, said to be of the sixth level realm.”

“I can ask one of the grandmasters to help you make a set of armor for you using your six-star leather, how about that?” The female owner said very solemnly.

Wang Sheng began to ponder, considering the pros and cons.

To be honest, a set of armor made of sixth-level realm monster beast leather would definitely be very good. Coupled with the protective ability of the liquid bulletproof vest, Wang Sheng could, for a long time, not have to worry about attacks from masters below the fifth level realm. However, Wang Sheng still had to consider other things.

“In the middle of summer, wearing a set of leather protective gear, wouldn't it be very hot?” Wang Sheng first asked a question that had nothing to do with protection, which could also be regarded as a bargaining chip.

“Do you think the grandmasters of Linglong Pavilion are those idiots who can be easily found on the street to make protective gear?” As soon as the female owner heard this question, her eyes immediately revealed a look of contempt.

Wang Sheng couldn't see her expression, but he could imagine it.

“When a grandmaster takes action, it is naturally impossible for it to be just one person; there will also be formation masters to help.” Seeing that Wang Sheng didn't understand, the female owner explained simply: “The protective gear will definitely have a winter-warm-summer-cool formation, as well as a protective formation. You just need to use a little spiritual power to maintain the operation of the formation when you wear it.”

With this explanation, Wang Sheng immediately realized that this was definitely a good thing. Unlike bulletproof vests, which are so hot to wear, this one also comes with protection, definitely a good thing.

“I provide the raw materials, I provide the style, help me make a set of inner and outer clothing and boots.” Wang Sheng immediately made up his mind: “Plus the identities of those assassins, and a copy of information on the types and characteristics of advanced Yuan Souls, and I can give you the method of refined salt.”

“Really?” The female owner herself didn't expect Wang Sheng to really agree. She thought she would have to pay a higher price, but she didn't expect it to be so simple. However, after asking, the female owner realized that the last condition Wang Sheng added seemed a bit unusual, and hurriedly asked, “What kind of information?”

“The known types of Yuan Souls above the seventh star, their characteristics, and what powerful methods those who cultivate them will have, preferably with a representative figure for each type.” Wang Sheng tried his best to put forward detailed requirements, hiding what he really wanted in the massive amount of information, so as not to reveal his true purpose.

“Representative figures, I'm afraid there may not be suitable ones.” The female owner considered for a long time and didn't feel that there was any trap in Wang Sheng's words, but she still subconsciously explained in advance: “Maybe some are already dead, maybe some are just guesses, no one can say for sure whether they are accurate or not.”

“Those who have died can also be listed, but try to write clearly how powerful this person was before his death.” Wang Sheng relaxed the conditions a bit, then looked at the female owner, waiting for her reply.

“Okay!” This time, the female owner didn't say anything more and nodded directly.

“If possible, try to let me personally explain my requirements to the grandmaster you want to invite.” Wang Sheng raised another requirement that didn't count as a requirement, but he didn't say it so definitely: “Of course, if it really doesn't work, find someone who knows the business to listen to my explanation first, and then have him tell that grandmaster.”

“Okay!” This was not a problem, not even a difficulty, and the female owner immediately agreed without saying anything.

“Wait until you bring the things to me.” Wang Sheng smiled at the female owner: “As soon as my injuries heal, I will immediately make it for you personally.”

A simple transaction was thus reached. The female owner left very satisfied. No one knew that the two of them had just had a simple conversation, but they had decided on a major business related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

When the female owner was talking business with Wang Sheng, the maid of Baoqing Yu Tang tactfully took the initiative to leave the room and stood guard outside until the female owner left before coming in to serve again.

Interestingly, Wang Sheng still doesn't know the female owner's name. Wang Sheng has no concept of this woman who has always been veiled and has a pair of enchanting eyes, what her surname is, what her name is, and what she looks like. However, Wang Sheng is sure that if he was in a crowd, he would definitely be able to recognize her.

After finally having a quiet half-day of recuperation, Wang Sheng had to receive guests again in the afternoon.

It was Lu Wenhou and Ling'er from Yu Bao Zhai, as well as several servants. Interestingly, when Lu Wenhou came over, he also brought over the set of cooking utensils that Wang Sheng had made at the iron shop of Da Zhu Zi. Even the pierced hot pot that was used to resist the crossbow arrows during the assassination was remade and brought over after being polished.

Of course, there was also the gold coin that Da Zhu Zi asked Lu Wenhou to bring over. This seemed to have become Wang Sheng's rule for buying things.

“These things all look like they are for cooking.” Lu Wenhou simply greeted Wang Sheng's body, then turned the topic to the pile of cooking utensils that Wang Sheng had ordered: “I can't help you much here, so I helped you find a few chefs. It's inconvenient for you to be injured, so just tell them what you want to eat. If Brother Wang is willing to give them a few pointers, that would be even better, so I can eat something good in the future.”

Unlike the female owner of Baoqing Yu Tang, who started talking about business and transactions with Wang Sheng right away, Lu Wenhou seemed to be treating Wang Sheng as a friend to interact with. That's right, even the people sent over were to take care of Wang Sheng's appetite. Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that they were taking the opportunity to let Wang Sheng guide them on how to use those cooking utensils.

The things that Wang Sheng ordered would not be useless, which was already a consensus in Worry-Free City. If the two chefs of Yu Bao Zhai could learn it in advance, it would also be of great benefit to Yu Bao Zhai.

The reason why Lu Wenhou is comfortable is that he doesn't hide his intentions and directly states his purpose. But he doesn't give people a feeling of exchange, it's just the feeling of getting along with friends.

If Ling'er hadn't given Wang Sheng a good look from beginning to end, Wang Sheng's meeting with Lu Wenhou could have been described as perfect.

Of course, there is no such thing as perfection, so when Lu Wenhou left, he also left with a little regret.
