Dragon's Origin
#24 - What a pity
Everyone, including even the Song family's young mistress Song Yan, didn't find it inappropriate to talk about becoming assassins of Worry-Free City. In fact, many normal experts also secretly joined the ranks of Worry-Free City assassins.
Of course, they wouldn't necessarily do bad things like murder and arson, but Worry-Free City didn't only accept contracts for murder and arson. Like the investigation into Wang Sheng last time, there were quite a few similar cases. With considerable income and the chance to gain experience, many cultivating experts didn't reject it.
Wang Sheng thoroughly understood the use of the Worry-Free City assassin牌(pái, card/license), and at the same time, the meticulous him also saw the court and those large families' plans for Worry-Free City from some of the arrangements. It had to be said, it was truly a most brilliant design.
Worry-Free City was trapped in an isolated city, and essential supplies were certainly needed. Therefore, some large merchants, approved by His Majesty the Emperor and several major families, were allowed to enter Worry-Free City to do business. But Wang Sheng instantly understood many problems: things in Worry-Free City must be very expensive. Song Yan had actually revealed this just now.
What kind of Worry-Free City was this! It was clearly a huge prison!
Whether it was His Majesty the Emperor or the major families, they didn't waste a single soldier and trapped countless vicious criminals in Worry-Free City, making it difficult for them to go out. The criminals inside seemed free, but they could only wander around in the circle of Worry-Free City. What was this if not a prison?
What was even more brilliant was that those who could escape into Worry-Free City were either powerful or extremely intelligent. Selling things so expensively forced these people to rack their brains and use all sorts of methods to make money. His Majesty the Emperor and the major families didn't have to do anything; they just had to set up a checkpoint to collect heavy taxes, and they could earn a lot of money.
The people of Worry-Free City worked diligently and honestly to make money, but who were they working hard for? There must be many smart people among them who could see this, but sadly, they had to make money for His Majesty the Emperor and the major families in order to survive, and it was a never-ending cycle.
Just making money wasn't enough, and it wasn't too big of a punishment. The biggest punishment was that Worry-Free City didn't restrict people from fighting each other, which meant that some people might accept external bounties to attack people inside in order to make money.
It was called Worry-Free City, and it was said that one could be carefree upon arriving, but the people in the city had to sleep with one eye open, fearing that others would kill them.
Being killed outside was just the end of it, but escaping into Worry-Free City meant a lifetime of fear, living in suspicion, doubt, worry, and calculation every moment, endlessly and infinitely, unless you weren't afraid of death, otherwise you would have to endure pain all the time. But if you were willing to die, why not die outside? Why bother entering Worry-Free City to suffer this kind of crime?
Why wouldn't His Majesty the Emperor and the family heads make a poisonous oath? Anyone would make a poisonous oath; how happy would they be to torture those who were detrimental to the family? He was even making money for me. Even if I wanted him to die, I would just release a high reward through the merchant team, and someone would naturally take action. Not letting him die was to watch him be tortured while alive.
Wang Sheng almost instantly understood the plans of His Majesty the Emperor and the family heads back then. This Worry-Free City was really a stroke of genius!
Unfortunately, Wang Sheng wouldn't say these words. Song Yan might know the true intentions of Worry-Free City, or she might not, but this wasn't what Wang Sheng needed to care about. However, one thing was certain: if Song Yan couldn't even figure this out, then she wasn't suitable to be the heir of a large family.
When they rested at night, Song Lao Yu and Song Yan saw Wang Sheng practicing the Hunyuan Stance. They couldn't help but look at each other a bit. Was it worth it for a non-entry-level Yuan Soul? Even if it could absorb some spiritual energy to nourish the body, it was only that, and in the end, did he still want to make a breakthrough?
However, when Wang Sheng's body began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, both Song Yan and Song Lao Yu noticed something unusual.
The surrounding spiritual energy, as if attracted by Wang Sheng's body, surged towards Wang Sheng frantically. That thick feeling was almost comparable to when Song Yan cultivated.
The problem was, how was this possible? Song Yan was at the peak of the Second Realm, so it was normal to absorb spiritual energy so efficiently, but Wang Sheng was just an ordinary person, to put it bluntly, a waste with a non-entry-level Yuan Soul, how could he have such an absorption speed?
What was even more incomprehensible was that Wang Sheng had only been absorbing Yuan Soul for more than two months, and this included the time he spent repairing the defects of the Yuan Soul. How could he be so monstrous?
You know, normal Yuan Soul enlightenment takes at least a year, and often several years. Even those geniuses who showed extraordinary talent from an early age, like Song Yan, who was recognized by everyone as a genius, took seven or eight months to complete enlightenment. Wang Sheng, a barbarian who had never been exposed to the concept of Yuan Soul, and was a newbie who relied on Song Yan to explain things, how could he do this in two months?
At this time, the two realized that Wang Sheng's posture was not just posing, but a unique cultivation method. But even with Song Lao Yu's extensive knowledge, he couldn't see what kind of cultivation method it was. Perhaps all the secrets were hidden in this secret.
A high-level Naring and such an extraordinary cultivation method could indeed be exchanged for the method of making snow sugar frost. Unexpectedly, Baoqing Yutang paid such a huge price for snow sugar frost.
Wang Sheng was completely unaware of the shock of the two; he was already immersed in his Yuan Soul space.
The battle consciousness little man was not standing still like Wang Sheng's cultivation, but was constantly replaying Wang Sheng's battle with Song Lao Yu that day. Each attack had to be reproduced several times, and then constantly deduced and calculated, optimizing the angle of attack, and was completely immersed in the summary of that battle.
Wang Sheng did not interfere with the battle consciousness. The results of the battle consciousness little man's optimization would eventually be fed back to Wang Sheng himself. These were extremely valuable experiences. With such a battle consciousness left to him by a dream woman, at least Wang Zheng could save half the time in battle cultivation.
The Yuan Soul space was no longer the static appearance of the past, but a vibrant and active scene. Rivers flowed, and green mountains stood on both sides, completely a living world.
The Yuan Soul little fish had changed a lot, at least in size, it was much larger and stronger than the original small one that was less than a palm. According to Wang Sheng's preliminary estimate, it was at least two feet long, swimming flexibly in the river, and would jump out of the water from time to time, trying to jump over the golden archway.
That's right, a golden archway had appeared upstream of the Yellow River. On the plaque in the center of the archway, were written two blood-red characters "Dragon Gate."
This was the Dragon Gate that Wang Sheng had spent a full month to condense, more than ten feet high, spanning the entire river. The Yuan Soul little fish could easily swim under it, but it was quite difficult to jump over it.
However, with the nourishment of spiritual energy for more than a month, the little fish had become a half-grown koi. Jumping up from the water, it could even jump more than a foot high. Perhaps in time, when the Yuan Soul little fish absorbed enough spiritual energy, it should be able to jump higher, and one day, it would be able to jump over the Dragon Gate.
In addition to a small part of the spiritual energy that would be integrated into the river and the Dragon Gate, most of the spiritual energy all entered the Yuan Soul. The Tai Chi Qi swirl that originally occupied almost half of the little fish's body was still spinning at that speed, but the swirl had doubled in size, and was five inches in diameter.
The swirl became larger, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy was also much faster. Unfortunately, it had now reached its limit, and could no longer be accelerated. According to Wang Sheng's calculations, the current speed of absorbing spiritual energy was equivalent to twice the speed that a Pei Yuan Pill could provide.
"Xiao Yan, how long did it take you to get enlightened?" Old Man Yu looked at Wang Sheng, and began to doubt everything. Even Song Yan, whom he watched grow up, he wasn't sure about, and had to ask again.
"Seven months." Song Yan looked at Wang Sheng blankly, and subconsciously replied. She didn't know how to look at Wang Sheng now. He clearly absorbed a non-entry-level Yuan Soul, but the performance he showed was even more monstrous than her genius. Did he want to let people live?
"Then in your opinion, how long will it take him to complete enlightenment and enter the First Realm?" Old Man Yu then asked.
"His Yuan Soul is non-entry-level, how can he enter the First Realm?" Song Yan now reacted, and glanced at Old Man Yu in puzzlement. Old Man Yu was also a master of the Triple Realm, how could he make such a low-level mistake?
"Which non-entry-level Yuan Soul can do this?" Old Man Yu then laughed bitterly, pointing to Wang Sheng's body: "If he tells me now that he can enter the Ninth Realm, I would definitely not doubt it. Where did he come from, this freak?"
Song Yan and Old Man Yu were both present when Wang Sheng landed, so they naturally knew how Wang Sheng suddenly appeared. Now that I think about it, such a sudden descent from the sky clearly showed Wang Sheng's extraordinary nature from the beginning, how did they only realize this now?
Old Man Yu said this purely because he was shocked by Wang Sheng. In fact, both of them understood in their hearts that no matter how exaggerated it was, it was just exaggeration, and there was no way to really break through the limit of a non-entry-level Yuan Soul and enter the First Realm.
It was a pity for Wang Sheng. He clearly had such terrifying talent, but because of an untimely opportunity, he ran into an untimely Yuan Soul, which destined him to only surprise people at this time in his life, but he could not become a real master.
However, even so, as long as Wang Sheng still held the method of making snow sugar frost and refined salt, Wang Sheng could still easily be a rich man.
I just don't know if Wang Sheng will be willing at that time, and whether those greedy guys who know that Wang Sheng has mastered these methods will let Wang Sheng go. Even those guys who already know the methods, will they let him go? After all, dead people are the safest, aren't they?
What a pity!
