Dragon's Origin

Chapter 169: People and People (Part 2)

The process of taking the medicine is very important. You must concentrate fully to begin comprehending and learning, and then control it yourself. During this time, you must be single-minded and not distracted. This is why the old eunuch waited half an hour after Wang Sheng entered the state before speaking those words as if to himself.

As the old eunuch said, being able to hear it would be Wang Sheng's good fortune, and not hearing it wouldn't mean the old eunuch broke his promise. In the end, the old eunuch wasn't on Wang Sheng's side, so there was no need for him to rush to curry favor with Wang Sheng.

However, with the old eunuch by his side, Wang Sheng could rest assured, and Wang Sheng hadn't guessed wrong. Even if it was for the purpose of having Wang Sheng lead the way, the old eunuch wouldn't allow him to have an accident in front of him at this time. He even proactively helped Wang Sheng identify the Qi Condensation Powder.

What the old eunuch didn't expect was that Wang Sheng had been guarding against him from beginning to end. Therefore, from the beginning of accepting the old eunuch's guidance, Wang Sheng, apart from revealing his immense strength and various attack methods, hadn't shown even a trace of the Nine Words of Truth.

The existence of the combat puppet was even more unknown to the old eunuch. Even during cultivation and while taking the medicine, Wang Sheng had a clone of the combat consciousness puppet watching the old eunuch's every move at all times.

You must know that Wang Sheng's residence was in the inner city of Worry-Free City, which was within the Thousand Severed Land. As long as he was within the Thousand Severed Land, the clone of the combat consciousness puppet could detect the activities of any strong person around Wang Sheng.

When Wang Sheng controlled the acupoints in his body and almost got used to the action of purifying spiritual Qi, it was already the next morning. Wang Sheng took at least twice as long as ordinary people in terms of taking the medicine and getting used to it.

The medicinal power was also driven by Wang Sheng into a vortex, and the abundant medicinal power expanded each of Wang Sheng's existing sixteen acupoints by more than double. Of course, acupoints are not physiological structures, but rather points of spiritual Qi gathering in cultivation. This alone allowed Wang Sheng's speed of absorbing spiritual Qi to increase by at least four times, and the amount of spiritual Qi he could accommodate also increased by four times. (Radius doubles, area quadruples)

This doesn't even take into account the impact of the improved quality of spiritual Qi indirectly caused by the purification of spiritual Qi. In short, Wang Sheng's portion of Qi Condensation Powder was definitely worth it.

As soon as he woke up from the cultivation state, before his consciousness had returned to reality from the Yuanshen space, the combat consciousness puppet responsible for monitoring the old eunuch began to simulate the old eunuch's movements, replaying Wang Sheng's process from taking the medicine to waking up like a fast-forwarded video.

The overall process looked like the old eunuch sitting at the stone table slowly drinking wine, waiting until Wang Sheng woke up. But Wang Sheng, this self-made sniper, wasn't fooled. His keen observation quickly discovered that the old eunuch's mouth had opened and closed, saying a lot of words during a certain period.

This process was taken out separately by Wang Sheng and replayed at normal speed. Instantly, the old eunuch's muttered words clearly entered Wang Sheng's ears.

If the old eunuch knew that Wang Sheng had such a heaven-defying existence in his Yuanshen space, he would never have said any of those words near Wang Sheng. Unfortunately, this world, like Earth, also has no 'ifs'.

"So that's how it is!" After understanding, Wang Sheng wouldn't say he understood instantly, but he immediately judged that the old eunuch was right. It turned out that the misunderstanding in his cultivation was here, not in some realm, not in some cultivation level.

Wang Sheng couldn't possibly comprehend these things in a short time, let alone hastily decide on his main direction of attack, so Wang Sheng directly stopped cultivating and returned his consciousness to reality.

"Thank you, Elder Li." Feeling the completely different aura in his body compared to the past, Wang Sheng bowed deeply towards the Li surname old eunuch sitting at the stone table, sincerely thanking him.

This thank you contained the old eunuch Li's kindness in protecting him, and also contained the guidance of the old eunuch Li in pointing out the misunderstanding in his cultivation. However, I'm afraid the old eunuch Li didn't realize the deeper meaning behind the latter.

It was indeed right to ask a master for guidance. The royal family's old monster had keenly discovered his shortcomings these days. If it weren't for the old eunuch Li, Wang Sheng didn't know how long he would have to wait before he understood what he was lacking.

The old Taoist Lingxu might also know, but he might not take the initiative to find Wang Sheng, nor might he take the initiative to tell Wang Sheng these things. Maybe by the time he saw the old Taoist Lingxu again, it would be increasingly difficult to make up for these things.

Cultivation definitely requires laying the foundation at the very beginning. Wang Sheng doesn't know when those families and sects with inheritance will instill these things, but he thinks it won't be too late. It would probably be too late to change after it's finalized. Wang Sheng is lucky to know now.

Wang Sheng finished taking the medicine and completed his cultivation. The Worry-Free City auction had also been completed, and the auction proceeds had been sent to Wang Sheng's residence. It could be said that Wang Sheng's affairs in Worry-Free City had come to an end. The royal family was probably waiting impatiently, and it was time to set off.

He packed all the advanced cultivation techniques and elixirs into his personal storage ring, took some gold coins, and stored the rest in his Worry-Free City residence. Anyway, as long as the city lord didn't suppress Wang Sheng, no one would dare to touch Wang Sheng's residence, so it was very safe.

After packing everything, Wang Sheng, along with the old eunuch Li and the little eunuch who served the old eunuch, embarked on the journey to the capital. The royal family had prepared everything there, waiting for Wang Sheng to arrive before setting off immediately.

The three of them got a carriage, with Wang Sheng and the little eunuch taking turns driving, and the old eunuch always sitting in the carriage. The road here was relatively flat, so the speed wasn't slow.

"Boy, now that we've left Worry-Free City, I'm not afraid to tell you something, which can be considered saving your life." After leaving Worry-Free City far behind, the old eunuch Li said to Wang Sheng in the carriage.

"Please enlighten me, Elder Li." Wang Sheng's heart stirred, and he respectfully asked the old eunuch Li for guidance.

"The food in your residence is very delicious. But there is one flaw." The old eunuch Li didn't beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: "The fish you like to eat has been poisoned. If you want to live, you should eat less of it in the future."

Actually, Wang Sheng realized after the old eunuch Li had only lived in Wang Sheng's house for a few days that the old eunuch Li might have discovered that the fish was poisonous, because later the old eunuch Li claimed that he had trouble picking bones and didn't eat much fish. Now that the old eunuch Li said it himself, it confirmed Wang Sheng's guess.

Thinking so in his heart, Wang Sheng put on a shocked expression on his face, as if he was really frightened.

The old eunuch smiled in his heart, with this favor alone, Wang Sheng would have to do his best in helping the royal family, right?
