Dragon's Origin

Chapter 329: What is Wang Sheng Building? (Part 2)

The royal family is secretly organizing experts and preparing supplies. The same goes for the Linglong Pavilion.

After being reminded by Wang Sheng and realizing that she too was part of a scheme, the Linglong Pavilion Master, filled with anger, and with the intention of compensating and showing gratitude, promised to provide Wang Sheng with materials and have grandmasters forge ten pieces of equipment according to Wang Sheng's specifications. Now, Mei'er has come with the list.

Hearing that Wang Sheng wanted to create something entirely new, not to mention the grandmasters, who were all staring wide-eyed, hoping for a chance to participate, even the Linglong Pavilion Master's eyes lit up.

The things Wang Sheng has come up with over the years are no ordinary items; they're all golden coins! Whether it's the furniture and cooking utensils in Worry-Free City, or the products of Qiansheng Yuan and Runzi Fang in the capital, almost every item represents a market with vast potential! Haven't you seen how the salt and sugar industries have already been coveted and divided up by various countries?

Upon receiving the list, the Linglong Pavilion Master was immediately dazed. If he hadn't been in frequent contact with manufacturing masters, the list would have completely confused him.

He finally understood that these were the material parameters Wang Sheng required; the specific materials weren't fixed, meaning that any material that met Wang Sheng's requirements would suffice.

The list was also given to several grandmasters who studied weapons and materials, with Iron Old being one of them. Looking at the list, everyone was guessing what Wang Sheng needed these things for.

"Looking at this requirement for materials with rebound speed and strong elasticity, he might be making crossbows," Iron Old said, pointing to the first item on the list.

"Yes, and further down there are materials for crossbow strings and arrow shafts," another master nodded in agreement.

"But he doesn't have materials for fletching," someone raised a different opinion. "Without fletching, how can the arrows be shot? Also, that material might be used for the bow back, but it requires so much force, who can draw it?"

...

Everyone had different opinions, but no one could be sure what Wang Sheng was going to build. However, the problem was simple: prepare the materials first, and then they would know after Wang Sheng came to give instructions.

However, even preparing the materials wasn't that easy. The materials Wang Sheng wanted often required a thickness that could withstand a pulling force of hundreds of thousands of pounds, or the ability to penetrate five layers of iron armor without deforming, making them quite difficult to find.

The Linglong Pavilion was indeed the Linglong Pavilion. What was extremely difficult for outsiders was as simple as rummaging through the warehouse for the Linglong Pavilion in several instances.

However, while rummaging through the warehouse was simple, taking these things out, even for a wealthy organization like the Linglong Pavilion, would inevitably cause heartache. The reason was simple: they were too precious and too valuable.

Not daring to say anything else, just take the extremely hard material that could penetrate iron armor without deforming; it was a top-grade sword-making material. Taking out two or three pounds would cost millions. But Wang Sheng wanted over a hundred pounds, which meant tens of millions of gold coins were going out.

The Linglong Pavilion had money, but they didn't expect Wang Sheng to be such a demanding person. However, Mei'er seemed to have anticipated this, and when she sent the list, she left a message saying that if the Linglong Pavilion was unwilling to provide the materials, the Marquis's Mansion would buy them with gold coins. Even the Old Monarch's Temple sent people to express the same sentiment.

This left the Linglong Pavilion with no choice. If the Changsheng Marquis's Mansion or the Old Monarch's Temple really bought them with gold coins, wouldn't the Linglong Pavilion lose face? Even if it was painful, the Linglong Pavilion Master had to grit his teeth and take out the items.

Fortunately, if Wang Sheng was really going to make crossbows and arrows, it was agreed that only ten pieces would be made for free. One crossbow and nine arrows would satisfy the quantity, and for the rest, Wang Sheng would probably have to pay for them himself.

There were a few materials that even the Linglong Pavilion didn't have. However, the grandmasters were knowledgeable and knew which materials could meet the requirements. They re-listed them, and then the parties worked together to find suitable materials all over the world. Everyone was waiting for the materials to be complete to see what amazing thing Wang Sheng could create.

Wang Sheng wasn't concerned about these things right now. He was completely immersed in the Old Monarch's Temple's cultivation methods. After Wang Sheng completed the formation of the Taiji Yin-Yang Qi vortex in his acupoints, he stayed in the Scripture Pavilion, either exchanging experiences with Lingxu Old Daoist on modifying the acupoints or browsing the cultivation methods.

According to the average person's thinking, Wang Sheng should be eagerly flipping through the sixth and seventh level cultivation methods at this time. But Wang Sheng didn't do this. Instead, he started with the most basic cultivation methods of the Old Monarch's Temple, learning them systematically, step by step.

Wang Sheng had read "The Deer and the Cauldron", and he still remembered the passage describing the Shaolin martial arts. One had to start with the Arhat Fist, and then all the way up to the Vajra Palm and the Great Compassion Thousand Hand Palm. This was a gradual process. The book recorded the Buddhist Shaolin Temple's martial arts, and Wang Sheng believed that the Daoist martial arts were the same.

Therefore, Wang Sheng chose to start with the cultivation methods to be learned from the most basic, unranked realm, looking at them one by one. If he encountered anything that required some Daoist knowledge to explain, Wang Sheng would ask Lingxu Old Daoist or other old Daoists for advice. Anyway, there was no shortage of old Daoists here.

Everyone, including Lingxu Old Daoist, was surprised by Wang Sheng's choice. However, they didn't say much about it. Everyone had learned from the simplest cultivation methods. Apart from feeling that Wang Sheng had already reached this realm and didn't need to read those most superficial things, no one criticized Wang Sheng's behavior.

Wang Sheng cherished this opportunity very much. Being able to systematically browse the Daoist cultivation methods was a truly excellent opportunity. Wang Sheng had never had any systematic cultivation experience until now, and this time could obviously make up for Wang Sheng's shortcomings.

Even the simplest and most basic cultivation methods were the most valuable experiences that the Daoist ancestors had condensed over thousands of years, using the lives, futures, and bodies of countless disciples. To Wang Sheng, this was a treasure.

It must be said that even the simplest basic martial arts cultivation methods allowed Wang Sheng to discover many mistakes in his previous cultivation. Although they were all very insignificant minor errors that didn't affect the overall situation for the time being, a thousand-mile dam could be destroyed by an ant hole. If they weren't fundamentally resolved, there would definitely be a major crisis when cultivating to a higher level in the future. A tiny deviation at the start leads to a huge error in the end; this is the principle.

Now that he was still in the sixth realm, Wang Sheng had the opportunity to resolve all the hidden dangers in this regard, and Wang Sheng naturally put in his greatest effort to complete this task. Not only did Wang Sheng urge his brain to frantically memorize everything, but even the combat consciousness villain was also constantly integrating this entire set of Daoist cultivation theories, gradually perfecting the newly modified cultivation methods.

For a whole month, Wang Sheng was browsing the cultivation methods below the sixth realm, about thirty or forty kinds every day, and finally went through all the Daoist cultivation methods treasured by the Old Monarch's Temple. Next would be the advanced cultivation methods.
