Dragon's Origin

Chapter 109: News of the Phoenix (Part 1)

Since Wang Sheng had improved his cultivation, it meant the previous medication was effective, at least partially replenishing his vital energy.

Opening his eyes, Wang Sheng once again noticed some differences. His eyes had been strengthened once more, allowing him to see farther, with greater detail, and with better color recognition.

All of this was to be expected, but Wang Sheng had clearly noticed that when the spiritual Qi was strengthening his body, it took a detour at his mouth and nose. It concentrated on his tongue for at least an hour, and a similar amount of time on his nose. Without asking, it must have been strengthening Wang Sheng's sense of taste.

The gluttonous nature of the Taotie should make it a big foodie, so strengthening the sense of taste was not surprising. However, the fact that it started strengthening before the Taotie transformation was something that caught Wang Sheng off guard.

Despite the surprise, it was a good thing overall. This also meant that Wang Sheng's path forward was not wrong, and he still had to persevere.

Wang Sheng woke up from the strengthening process and immediately heard the congratulations from the butler, Han Bing Li, and the shadow eunuch. Wang Sheng's improvement was witnessed by these three people, so congratulations were naturally in order.

He accepted their congratulations with a smile, and everyone had a glass of fine wine for the occasion. Then, Wang Sheng suddenly realized he was in trouble.

The wine, which had tasted quite delicious a few hours ago, now tasted somewhat lacking even before it entered his mouth. Upon tasting it, this feeling became even stronger.

The vintage was not old enough, the brewing ingredients used were impure, and there were impurities, resulting in an indescribable strange taste in the wine. This taste used to be negligible, but now Wang Sheng could taste it in one sip.

What was even more outrageous was that the wine was watered down. Although not by much, Wang Sheng could hardly believe the faint taste. The wine jar was freshly opened, so how could water have been added?

Well, drinking could lead to mistakes, so drinking less was not a big deal. But after eating a bite of food, Wang Sheng couldn't help but want to complain again. If he were on Earth, Wang Sheng would definitely slam the table and demand the chef explain why. How dare they call themselves chefs when the food was so terrible? Were they even qualified?

Fortunately, Wang Sheng remembered that the teacher of these chefs was him, and even if he cooked himself, he couldn't make anything much more delicious than those chefs at this time. So, he gave up.

Strengthening the sense of taste was a good thing, but it immediately made him unable to swallow, which was simply fatal! Fortunately, Wang Sheng had a strong will. If necessary, he could learn from Bear Grylls and eat anything raw. He could grit his teeth and swallow even the most unpalatable things. Now that it was just not perfect, Wang Sheng could still eat it without changing his expression.

If he had known that the Taotie transformation would bring this change, Wang Sheng would have postponed it. Of course, the reason he chose the Taotie transformation as the second transformation was to deal with the nine-star Yuan Soul of the Dai family, fearing that they would feel like they were missing a Yuan Soul to devour, so he wanted to devour it.

Now he didn't have to worry about this problem for the time being, at least not in the short term. The Dai family was now saddled with a huge blame by Wang Sheng, and they were probably in a state of panic.

"Old brother, I wonder if there is any information about high-level Yuan Souls in the City Lord's mansion," Wang Sheng chatted with the three for a while and slowly introduced the topic: "I don't know how to upgrade this Yuan Soul, so I want to refer to the information of those high-level Yuan Souls. Do you think it's possible?"

In the ears of Han Bing Li and the shadow eunuch, this was the literal meaning. Wang Sheng's Yuan Soul was too special, so he had no direction and wanted to refer to the cultivation direction of previous high-level Yuan Souls.

But in the butler's ears, the meaning was different. Before Wang Sheng announced the information, he had secretly instructed him to collect the cultivation methods of high-level Yuan Souls from hundreds of years ago. Now that Wang Sheng raised this question, he naturally needed those ancient and related cultivation methods to find his own cultivation direction.

Wang Sheng's reminder did give the City Lord's mansion some advantages. However, such a big matter as providing Wang Sheng with information could not be decided by the butler alone. It definitely had to be approved by the City Lord.

"I'll go back and ask the City Lord," the butler did not agree on the spot, but expressed his intention to ask the City Lord: "I believe there won't be a big problem, but it will take a few days."

Wang Sheng nodded without saying much. He had said almost everything he needed to say. Although Han Bing Li and the shadow eunuch had high cultivation, they were far from professional Soul Refiners in terms of understanding Yuan Souls, so they couldn't intervene in this matter.

Just as everyone was about to leave after drinking, a group of people came from outside. To everyone's surprise, the female owner of Baoqing Remaining Hall, wearing a veil, brought a batch of things to Wang Sheng.

"These are some materials about high-level Yuan Souls." The female owner did not avoid the three, especially the butler, and asked a group of people to send the things to Wang Sheng's room in front of them: "It should be helpful to your cultivation."

A group of people rushed in to deliver the things, and the butler could see clearly that there were at least hundreds of scrolls. He immediately realized that he was one step behind in this matter and Baoqing Remaining Hall had taken the lead.

The people from Baoqing Remaining Hall did not stay long, and left immediately after leaving the things. Before leaving, the female owner gave Wang Sheng a subtle smile. With this, Wang Sheng's refined salt business was definitely secure.

The butler did not neglect his duties. As soon as the people from Baoqing Remaining Hall left, he also hurriedly bid farewell and went straight to the City Lord's mansion. After returning to the City Lord's mansion, he didn't say anything and hurriedly reported to the City Lord, regardless of the time.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"Tsk!" The City Lord turned his back, looked at a map, and couldn't help but click his tongue after listening to the butler's reply: "Loss! Miscalculation! That little girl took the lead, and the loss is huge!"

The City Lord was still thinking about finding the secret of upgradable Yuan Souls from a large amount of information. The Soul Refiners of the City Lord's mansion had been studying it during this period. Of course, they also deliberately ignored Wang Sheng's intention. After all, Wang Sheng's value was that he knew the secret of upgradable Yuan Souls. Now that he had said what he knew, he had basically no attraction to the City Lord except for the method to enter and exit the Thousand Despair Land.

He originally wanted to stretch Wang Sheng a little, snub him for a while, and then sell him a favor. Only the City Lord had this means in Worry-Free City. He never expected that Wang Sheng, who had revealed the secret, was still so popular. Baoqing Remaining Hall had unexpectedly rushed to the front of the City Lord's mansion without a sound.

If Wang Sheng hadn't spoken, everything would have been easy to say. But Wang Sheng had spoken, and the butler didn't agree immediately at the time. This was the first step of miscalculation. If the butler had agreed without hesitation at that time, he could have taken the lead, but it was too late to say anything now.
