Dragon's Origin

Chapter 624: Is There Enough Money? (Part 2)

Without needing to calculate carefully, Steward Zhou knew that if they really did everything Wang Sheng said, it would indeed be as Wang Sheng claimed: a hundred billion gold coins wouldn't even be enough to do a fart! They probably wouldn't even complete half of it.

But what Wang Sheng said was truly tempting! To have all the scholars in the world gather in the capital to study, wouldn't that mean that if they said the Emperor was the rightful ruler, then he would certainly be the rightful ruler?

A cultural center, an economic center—it was practically a continuation of Wang Sheng's original suggestion. Thinking of this, Steward Zhou couldn't stay any longer and immediately bid farewell to Wang Sheng: "Your Grace, this servant will return to report. His Majesty will surely come in person to discuss the details with you."

There was no helping it. Wang Sheng's words were too general but also too tempting. Steward Zhou understood what was on the Emperor's mind right now; he was anxiously waiting for Steward Zhou's reply. Now, he had to hurry back and first bring the news that the gold coins were far from enough to the Emperor, and then let the Emperor slowly extract more surprises from Wang Sheng's mouth!

In the end, Steward Zhou was actually just there to ask Wang Sheng if he had a solution. If there really was a solution, it would have to be the Emperor who understood it. Steward Zhou was just a scout.

"Sigh, such a small matter, and you all are so nervous about it," Wang Sheng shook his head and said to Steward Zhou: "Forget it, forget it, tomorrow I'll go over to visit with Mei'er. You can go ahead and make arrangements!"

Steward Zhou received the confirmation and left elated. Originally, a great master of his level, a tenth-level expert, should have been one who didn't show his emotions, but at this moment, he was working for the Emperor, and even solving the Emperor's worries, which made him even happier than a great improvement in his own cultivation. Being one of the three great royal offerings, his skill in handling small details was truly superb.

Mei'er was a smart woman; when she heard Wang Sheng say that if there was too much money, just spend it, how could she not understand Wang Sheng's meaning? She was no longer worried. As soon as Steward Zhou left, Mei'er began to instruct Rose: "Find out what rare things each country has that are useful to us, and quickly buy a batch before they react."

If they waited until those guys reacted, they would definitely raise the price, and Mei'er wouldn't suffer such a loss. Rose had also thought of this, and without saying a word, she immediately went to make arrangements.

Seeing the two women's decisive and efficient style, Wang Sheng was quite touched that two strong women had emerged in his family.

The old Taoist was also filled with emotion. It seemed that the principles of the world were the same: too much was as bad as too little. When there were no gold coins, they thought about desperately earning gold coins, but when there were too many gold coins, they were constantly worried about attracting disaster because of the gold coins. It was truly laughable.

The way of gold coins was like this, so why wasn't the way of cultivation like this? Just like what he and Wang Sheng had discussed before, blindly pursuing fast cultivation speed and improving one's realm was not a good thing. Too much was as bad as too little. If one rushed too fast, when they reached a major threshold, they would need a longer period of hard work to break through. On the contrary, those who worked diligently and steadily to build a solid foundation would be able to soar to the sky. The old Taoist, as well as the three great offerings, formed a stark contrast to the Grand Master.

Faced with the old Taoist's feelings, Wang Sheng also gave a thumbs up in admiration. Even an old Taoist could figure out so many principles from the amount of money, truly worthy of being a genius in cultivation.

"Old Taoist, it seems that you will soon be able to reach the state of integrating cultivation into life," Wang Sheng was truly happy for the old Taoist and said excitedly.

Lingxu Old Taoist was stunned. He was only good at pondering and had high cultivation, and he was always able to think of things that ordinary people could not, but he did not realize that perhaps this was the necessary path to the next realm. It was only when Wang Sheng said it that the old Taoist reacted.

"That's it!" A smile suddenly bloomed on the old Taoist's face, and he suddenly laughed heartily at Wang Sheng: "So that's how it is! I was still wondering how to enter this realm, but so that's how it is! Constantly pondering, constantly comprehending, when the effort arrives, one will naturally enter that realm. So that's how it is!"

The laughter was hearty, and it was indescribably pleasant to hear. Wang Sheng's eyes also lit up, and he was sincerely happy for the old Taoist, at least helping the old Taoist find the direction and method of entry. If the old Taoist could really reach that realm because of this method, when Wang Sheng cultivated to this stage in the future, he would probably be able to save a lot of effort and time.

"By the way, Mei'er, Rose," after speaking with the old Taoist, Wang Sheng remembered something and instructed Mei'er and Rose: "Now that we have more money, first increase the daily expenses for the sisters in the Grand View Garden by several times."

With the improved Eternal Spring Heart Sutra, gold coins were simply being splashed out like water. Previously, Tantai Yao estimated five hundred million gold coins, which was only barely at the bottom line. Although the women's cultivation was fast, it was only that, after all, Tantai Yao did not dare to ask Wang Sheng for a large sum at that time. Now that they had plenty of money, and so much that even Mei'er was a little flustered, when would they not砸 (za, throw/smash) it on their own people?

Of course, Mei'er would not refuse. If the women's cultivation was successful, they would all be trusted members of their own group. Now that the gold coins were hurting their hands, they would naturally not be stingy with such a small expense.

"Everyone is re-cultivating, so there's no need to talk about the basics. However, Rose, including you, when you cultivate to the eighth level, be careful, careful, and careful again. At least stay there for a while before advancing to the ninth level. Remember!" Wang Sheng instructed Rose very seriously, and turned to Mei'er, doing the same: "Mei'er, you too."

Mei'er and Rose did not understand. They were not present when Wang Sheng and the old Taoist were discussing these martial arts cultivation matters, so the two women looked at Wang Sheng in confusion, and then looked at the old Taoist together.

The old Taoist nodded very seriously. Sometimes, the truth doesn't need to be said too clearly, just like how he didn't give the Grand Master any guidance back then. When the opportunity arrives, they will naturally understand the good intentions.

Wang Sheng solemnly instructed, and even the old Taoist was nodding solemnly, so what was there to doubt? The two women immediately agreed in unison. Anyway, they all knew that it would definitely not hurt to consolidate their foundations. Now, whether it was Mei'er, Rose, or the women in the Grand View Garden, they didn't need to fight for anything in the capital, so there was no need to rush to desperately pursue cultivation realms.

Knowing the general direction from Wang Sheng's mouth, the two women were no longer panicked. They didn't disturb Wang Sheng and the old Taoist from carving the concentric spheres. The two of them found a place and happily studied how to spend money.

The Emperor was eagerly waiting and finally waited for Steward Zhou to return. As soon as he saw the joy on Steward Zhou's face, he knew that Wang Sheng must have a way to solve the problem. When Steward Zhou said Wang Sheng's vague methods, the Emperor and Empress were both surprised and delighted, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The dignified Emperor couldn't even wait until the next day to rush to the opposite side of Wang Sheng's house. On the first night, he and the Empress arrived at the Emperor's Villa, just waiting for Wang Sheng to come over tomorrow.
