Dragon's Origin

The batch of mad shark bones that were brought out was truly astonishing, and soon Wang Sheng heard more and more calls of "Pavilion Master".

No one objected, and even if someone did, they couldn't come up with a reason to object. The rules had been set hundreds of years ago, it couldn't have been designed by Wang Sheng, and it couldn't be changed because of someone's objection. Furthermore, the powerful bones of the thirteenth-realm demon beast suppressed the last bit of luck some people had, and everyone willingly called him Pavilion Master.

Although Wang Sheng didn't really display overwhelming strength, the fresh bones of the thirteenth-realm deep-sea mad shark had already explained everything. Master Qian, who had most wanted Wang Sheng to die, and his confidants and friends had already been buried in the Thousand Absolute Land, and others had no need to bet everything on a dead Pavilion Master.

In the end, this was the Exquisite Pavilion, not the Divine Might Prison. Everyone here was a craftsman, not a killer. This wasn't to say that the people in the Exquisite Pavilion's secret realm were a bunch of ungrateful people who only cared about profit, but the Exquisite Pavilion's secret operations over the years actually had great drawbacks.

Master Qian was away all year round. Older people might still have an impression of Pavilion Master Qian, but younger people and even middle-aged people had no concept of Pavilion Master Qian at all. To ask them to fight to the death with the current Pavilion Master, the Exquisite Grandmaster who met the rules for succession, and give up everything for a dead former Pavilion Master they had no impression of, they couldn't do it for the time being.

Could the eight great elders not see this drawback of the Exquisite Pavilion? Of course, they could! But they couldn't change it. If the Pavilion Master recognized by the elders didn't nod and didn't take the initiative to do these things, the people in the Exquisite Pavilion's secret realm alone would be powerless to change anything.

Those Exquisite Pavilion grandmasters at the Heavenly Craft Workshop in the capital were reaping both fame and fortune, earning a lot of money while also being famous throughout the world. Who wouldn't envy them? Relatively speaking, although the skills of the people in the secret realm might not be that much worse, they could only stay on this small island and contribute to the Exquisite Pavilion's coinage business. Were they really willing to do so?

If there was one person in this world who could turn the Exquisite Pavilion's drawback right, then that person must be Wang Sheng. The Exquisite Pavilion's coinage and the issuance of the Levering Bank's gold notes were absolutely of the same lineage and complemented each other. If they could be merged, everyone in this secret realm would be able to move to the capital and study those exciting new things together.

"Pavilion Master, it's best to sort out the vault first." At this time, Old Wang had already respectfully sent the key to Wang Sheng, and at the same time didn't forget to remind Wang Sheng and the others where this was. When he spoke, he emphasized the words Pavilion Master and vault very heavily, so everyone could hear it.

Instantly, everyone understood that this was the entrance to the Exquisite Pavilion's vault. And the vault had always been the Exquisite Pavilion's true secret place, which only the Pavilion Master and the eight great elders could enter and exit. It was really inappropriate to gather so many people here. Especially since Wang Sheng had just become the Pavilion Master, there should be some kind of ceremony, right?

The eight elders immediately spoke up and drove the crowd away. Of course, mainly those young people who were still extremely excited to see their idol show off his power. The old people all stayed behind, and there were more than a hundred people present.

While everyone was marveling at the bones of the deep-sea mad shark, they were also whispering about how to hold a succession ceremony for Wang Sheng.

"Pavilion Master, it's best to take stock of the vault first and understand our Exquisite Pavilion's assets." Elder Li invited Wang Sheng with a smile. Since no one had any objection to Wang Sheng becoming the Pavilion Master, the vault naturally had to be inspected by Wang Sheng himself.

"No need!" Wang Sheng shook his head with a smile: "I said, I'm not interested in the vault. I mainly want to ask everyone to help me forge a brand new weapon."

"Pavilion Master, I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules!" Elder Li looked embarrassed: "The vault is the repository of our Exquisite Pavilion's inherited skills and precious materials. The Pavilion Master must take stock of it, at least to know what our Exquisite Pavilion has, right?"

"I trust you seniors." Wang Sheng smiled and gave all the old people present a small flattery: "Being able to take care of and manage the Exquisite Pavilion's foundation here for decades, the character of you seniors will definitely not be a problem."

The small praise made everyone feel honored, and Wang Sheng's words simply spoke to their hearts. There really was someone who understood! Several old people didn't say anything, but their eyes instantly turned slightly red.

How could Wang Sheng not understand these old craftsmen who adhered to principles? They were like the old military workers in Wang Sheng's home country on Earth, silently dedicating themselves to the country for decades, which led to generations of new technologies. To be honest, Wang Sheng had no hatred in his heart for them, only respect.

"Since you all think highly of me, I won't be polite, and I'll take on the role of this Pavilion Master." Wang Sheng cupped his hands at the surroundings: "In the past, the Exquisite Pavilion needed to secretly mint coins to maintain the Exquisite Pavilion's foundation, but in the future, it doesn't have to be so hard and secretive. This is business, and it can be done openly and honestly, without being ashamed of others."

One sentence again made everyone sigh in their hearts. In the past, various forces were strong, and if the Exquisite Pavilion wanted to maintain the coinage business, it had to be careful and cautious, like a thief, for fear that outsiders would one day learn the coinage skills. But with Duke Changsheng here, he was so magnanimous, which made people's hearts tremble. Yes, what's shameful about an upright business?

"After you help me forge the weapon, everyone here can move to the capital as long as they are willing." Wang Sheng wasn't drawing a big cake for these grandmasters, but making real arrangements: "The coinage business will also be taken there, and together with Levering Bank, we will open a business outside the imperial city in an upright manner."

"I've already had Mei'er buy the neighborhood next to the Heavenly Craft Workshop." Wang Sheng continued: "If you are willing, you can all live there, and live next to the old partners in the capital. In the future, your children and grandchildren will live in the capital, and you don't have to stay on this island. I believe that the seniors in the capital and you seniors will definitely have a lot to exchange, and everyone will definitely have a lot of new things to do."

"Thank you, Pavilion Master!" What else could everyone say? The road ahead had been thought out and arranged for them, and it was also a road to fame and fortune, an upright business, a respected identity, who would be dissatisfied?

"Since the Pavilion Master trusts us old guys, we won't be pretentious." Elder Li and several elders exchanged opinions and expressed their position to Wang Sheng: "Pavilion Master, please rest assured that not even a needle will be missing from the Exquisite Pavilion's vault. In addition, Pavilion Master, your new weapon is on us."
