Dragon's Origin

Everyone left Wang Sheng's place without lingering for too long, each returning to their respective residences in the capital with an old Daoist in tow. They announced to the public that they had invited highly skilled Daoists from the Changsheng Gong manor, known for brewing health-preserving porridge from the Lao Jun Temple, to help those who had just advanced in their cultivation to regulate their bodies.

Previously, the Three Great Offerings had already spread the fame of the Lao Jun Temple's health-preserving porridge. Now, with the added push from the Three Kingdoms, the porridge's reputation soared.

The Emperor also chimed in, immediately dispatching a eunuch to the Changsheng Gong manor to invite a high-ranking Daoist to the palace to help prepare the health-preserving porridge.

As a result, the other countries couldn't sit still. Did it really have such a good effect? The major vassal states had always followed the policy of 'if you have it, I must have it too; if you don't have it, I must have it even more.' Since these families had invited Daoists from the Lao Jun Temple, the rest were no exception, and each sent people to the Changsheng Gong manor to invite one as well.

As a result, when they returned to their respective residences and tasted it, the flavor was definitely top-notch. The spiritual Qi of Tai Chi health preservation alone made those who drank the porridge full of praise. Especially for those newly advanced masters who had been in a state of mental excitement for three days and three nights without food or water, but with great physical exertion, it was simply a timely rain. For a time, listening to concerts and then immediately drinking Lao Jun Temple's health-preserving porridge almost became the standard for all parties.

Of course, this was also due to the Lao Jun Temple's consistent stance of not participating in worldly affairs, focusing only on personal Daoist cultivation and being detached from the world. Precisely because they had no conflicts of interest with any party, nor any political demands, and they were only promoting Daoist health preservation theories while cultivating in seclusion, they were welcomed by all parties.

Even the most Dao-skeptic masters, while drinking the health-preserving porridge, feeling its nourishment to their bodies, and listening to the old Daoists explain some health preservation methods to pay attention to on weekdays, unknowingly, they slowly accepted the theories of Daoist health preservation.

When the news reached the Lao Jun Temple, the Grand Master's face was as happy as a blooming flower. The promotion of Daoism was precisely through this kind of slow and gradual method, subtly and silently infiltrating, and one day more and more people would accept Daoist theories. Even if they didn't believe in Daoism, at least they wouldn't reject it.

The most crucial point was that the Lao Jun Temple possessed powerful strength, and those old Daoists were all exceptionally strong. That's why the major vassal states would honestly invite people to their doors, pay the incense money that should be paid, and say the good words that should be said. If they were to replace them with a cook without a background, their fate would be imaginable!

All parties consciously left about ten days for recuperation. During this time, all parties tacitly abided by the agreement with the Emperor, and no one jumped out to cause trouble, which was also giving the Emperor face.

Ten days later, the masters from all sides finished their recuperation and began to leave. Everyone tried to stagger their departures, a tacit understanding to avoid some people running into each other and fighting, causing unnecessary trouble.

It seemed that all parties were quite restrained, and even leaving was very peaceful, but this peace did not last too long, and something still happened.

The Xia family was the one that had the accident. After leaving the capital, the Xia family's team went straight to the Thousand Desolation Lands. They had learned from the Dai family's lesson and would never pass through the territory of other countries. To return to the Xia country from the capital, they had to pass through the Gan country, and the Xia family did not want to repeat the Dai family's mistakes.

But even under such cautious circumstances, something still happened to the Xia family. They were ambushed just as they entered the Thousand Desolation Lands.

The attackers were exceptionally strong and had many masters. They succeeded in one blow and immediately fled, without staying in place at all.

In just one round of attacks, the Xia family's leading elder and more than twenty masters who had just advanced were beheaded. However, the attackers did not leave a single clue, clean and neat. Only about half of the newly promoted masters escaped alive, leaving the remaining members of the Xia family in tears.

As soon as the news reached the capital, all parties on the surface expressed their deep regret, but in their hearts, they were actually laughing. Anyway, as long as it was another family that was unlucky, everyone would secretly be happy for a few days.

The morning after the Xia family's accident, Wang Sheng once again met the old killer from the Divine Might Prison in the Changsheng Gong manor's reception hall.

"Congratulations on getting rich! Congratulations on getting rich!" Wang Sheng greeted the old killer with a smile, cupping his hands in congratulations.

"Thank you, thank you!" The old killer smiled like a flower. Wang Sheng congratulated him on getting rich as soon as they met, obviously already knowing the news from outside the city. Of course, such a big thing couldn't be hidden.

"This is a gift for the Duke, please accept it with a smile!" After the old killer exchanged greetings with Wang Sheng, he didn't delay any longer and directly placed four storage rings on the table next to Wang Sheng, pushing them towards Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng took a storage ring and probed it with his spiritual Qi, immediately knowing what was inside. All four storage rings were full of heads, the heads of the masters of the Xia family who were killed yesterday. However, what surprised Wang Sheng was that there were only eighteen heads here, but clearly twenty-seven members of the Xia family had been killed.

"It wasn't just our Divine Might Prison that took action." The old killer from the Divine Might Prison couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Wang Sheng ask about this question: "There was another group of people who also took action at the same time, but everyone unexpectedly chose the same time and the same location, which also surprised us."

"Can you tell the method?" Wang Sheng became interested. There was another group of people who took action at the same time, it seemed that Wang Sheng was not the only one who attacked the Xia family.

"The greatest possibility is Worry-Free City." The old killer did not hide anything and directly stated his judgment: "They are all in the same business, and only they can choose such a good opportunity."

As soon as he heard that it was the people from Worry-Free City who took action, Wang Sheng was no longer surprised. Maybe it was Ah Qi who hired them. Anyway, Wang Sheng had sent millions of gold coins to them, and it was perfectly normal to offer a reward for the Worry-Free City's killers to deal with the Xia family.

"It's good to have colleagues." Wang Sheng smiled and waved inside, saying to the old killer: "This way you won't be alone."

"As long as the Duke is satisfied." The old killer's face was smiling, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Mei'er walked out gracefully carrying a tray, walked to the old killer, and placed the tray in front of the old killer with both hands.

The old killer quickly stood up as soon as Mei'er came out, bowed to Mei'er and greeted her: "Greetings, Madam!" After greeting her, he lowered his head to look at the tray.

On the tray, there were neatly arranged three hundred almost identical storage rings, which were much neater and more beautiful than the four different storage rings that the old killer had taken out. Of course, it also indirectly showed the Changsheng Gong manor's financial resources. Customizing so many identical storage rings was not a small price.

"Three hundred million gold coins!" Wang Sheng gestured to the old killer, letting the old killer check it himself.
