Dragon's Origin

Hahahaha, looking at Meimei rarely revealing such an expression and demeanor, a group of grandmasters all burst into laughter.

Everyone just wanted to take a closer look at the White Jade Amity Exquisite White Lotus Ball and carefully ponder the principles and design behind it. Who would have thought of really taking it for themselves? From the time they were given the title of grandmaster until now, there has never been a grandmaster's advancement work that was forcibly taken.

The last time Grandmaster Wu advanced to grandmaster, Wang Sheng also used a million gold coins to buy it from Grandmaster Wu.

"Don't worry, what's yours is yours, no one can take it from you," Grandmaster Lu said with a smile, reassuring Meimei. His words made Meimei a little embarrassed.

"Elder Qian, what is the current valuation of the Duke's work?" Meimei rolled her eyes and threw the question back to Elder Qian.

"This is indeed my mistake," Elder Qian also shook his head with a wry smile: "I was short-sighted, a mistake!"

"It's the Duke who deliberately played tricks, not revealing the secrets, you don't need to mind," Meimei immediately smiled, obviously praising the Duke's craftsmanship and skill. Meimei didn't mind saying something bad about Wang Sheng first to make Elder Qian happy and give a more accurate valuation.

"I'm ashamed, ashamed." Elder Qian still shook his head, but when he turned to Wang Sheng, his face was full of admiration: "The Duke's design is brilliant, we are inferior!"

"Then how high can the valuation of this ball be now with this white lotus added?" Meimei asked before Wang Sheng and Elder Qian could exchange pleasantries. Rose also pricked up her ears, wanting to know the specific number.

"This one white lotus is enough to add another five million gold coins," Elder Qian said with admiration: "Clearly the Duke didn't carve anything extra, but with the addition of this rotating array, it was immediately reborn, simply ingenious. I admire it! I admire it!"

Adding another five million, the value of this White Jade Amity Exquisite White Lotus Ball directly soared to ten million gold coins. Even without the added value of Wang Sheng's status, it would still be worth seven million gold coins.

Qian Sheng Yuan has never had a more valuable masterpiece than this. Only the exquisite jewelry in the Dream Workshop some time ago, a phoenix crown using a large number of precious gemstones, barely exceeded this price.

However, the value of the materials alone for that phoenix crown exceeded seven million gold coins, while Wang Sheng's Amity Ball didn't even count the price of the materials, only the valuation of the craftsmanship and design. Of course, compared to this price, the original value of that white jade ball was actually negligible.

A group of grandmasters studied and admired it for more than half a day before finally being satisfied. Meimei had already ordered people to prepare wine and dishes for the appraising grandmasters and those who came to observe the ceremony.

"In that case, Wang Sheng's participation in today's exquisite carving grandmaster assessment..." Grandmaster Lu, representing all the grandmasters in charge of the assessment, officially announced: "Passed!"

Yay! Meimei and Rose immediately cheered. It was as if Wang Sheng's advancement to grandmaster was even happier than their own.

The old Taoist didn't say anything, but his constant nodding showed his mood.

"In addition..." This time it was Elder Qian who spoke, saying "in addition" with a smile, and after everyone quieted down, he continued to announce: "After nearly two hundred grandmasters in our Exquisite Pavilion unanimously agreed, we also conferred the title of Exquisite Design Grandmaster to Wang Sheng."

The Exquisite Pavilion had long thought about giving Wang Sheng a grandmaster title, but before it was really hard to find a suitable opportunity, giving a grandmaster title for no reason seemed a bit inexplicable. Taking advantage of Wang Sheng's challenge to the exquisite carving grandmaster this time, the title of exquisite design grandmaster was attached to Wang Sheng's head.

No one disapproved of this exquisite design grandmaster title. Whether it was the grandmasters of the Exquisite Pavilion or the shopkeepers of various large commercial firms, they all admired Wang Sheng to the ground. If Wang Sheng was not this design grandmaster, then the grandmasters of the Exquisite Pavilion would seem unworthy of their name.

One advancement exam, two grandmaster titles, everyone was happy. Everyone present opened up and drank freely, celebrating Wang Sheng's successful challenge to grandmaster.

Because of this, all the grandmasters in Wang Sheng's mansion stopped working for a day, and I don't know how many people waiting for orders were delayed by a day.

The Emperor finally received the news. Wang Sheng's advancement to grandmaster did not surprise everyone at all. Even the simultaneous advancement to two grandmasters was considered a matter of course after everyone heard the news. However, the Emperor and Empress were very interested in Wang Sheng's advancement work, the White Jade Amity Exquisite White Lotus Ball.

Fifty layers, amity carving, inner ball nested in outer ball, carving from the outside to the inside, and the visual effect of a white lotus flower produced by the different rotation speeds, any one of these characteristics made people eager to see it!

"Old Zhou, go to Duke Changsheng's mansion and bring the things back for朕 (zhen, the emperor's self-reference) to see." The Empress was also very curious, and the Emperor simply ordered Steward Zhou to bring the things back to take a closer look.

Steward Zhou didn't dare to neglect, and went directly to Duke Changsheng's mansion. He didn't directly disturb Wang Sheng and Meimei, and only met Wang Sheng after the celebration of Duke Changsheng's mansion was completed, and expressed the Emperor's intention.

Wang Sheng, of course, didn't care. If the Emperor wanted to see it, let him see it. If he really liked it, it wouldn't hurt to give it to him. Just treat it as a gift for his mother-in-law and father-in-law.

Meimei was quite unwilling, but after hearing Wang Sheng's meaning, she felt exceptionally sweet in her heart. Something worth ten million gold coins, and still hand-carved by Wang Sheng, just to make Meimei's parents happy and make Meimei happy, giving it away without hesitation, how could Meimei not be happy and excited?

"That's not okay, you can't give it to them easily." Meimei gently wrapped herself around Wang Sheng's body: "I still want to keep it, don't give it away, sell it to them, hum!"

"You little stingy girl." Wang Sheng smiled: "I'll carve another one for you, even more exquisite. The first one had experimental components and didn't fully incorporate all my ideas. Wait for me to make a better one for you."

Wang Sheng's promise finally made Meimei happy again, and she agreed to give the things to the Emperor and Empress.

"Old Zhou, this is what I gave to the Empress, don't let the Emperor take it!" Meimei instructed Old Zhou, who was taking the things.

Steward Zhou nodded busily, the Empress would definitely be ecstatic to know this news.

Just when the capital was filled with a joyful atmosphere, in the wilderness of the Xia Kingdom, Ah Qi, like a lonely ghost without a soul, walked staggering and listlessly in the night, his face full of despair, as if his whole person had completely lost his vitality.
