Dragon's Origin

Not dwelling on the issue, Wang Sheng looked at the hesitant Song Laoyu beside him and asked directly, "Uncle Laoyu, is there something troubling you?"

Song Laoyu was indeed very conflicted. Logically, Wang Sheng was helping this time, and no matter the outcome, the credit should go to Song Yan. However, both Thousand Illusion Poisonous Pythons were killed by Wang Sheng, and even Song Yan and Song Laoyu's lives were saved by Wang Sheng. He couldn't go against his conscience and deny Wang Sheng's contribution.

"It's like this," Song Laoyu finally spoke. Between his entanglement and the success of Miss Song's trial, he chose the latter. "Can the credit for killing these two Thousand Illusion Poisonous Pythons be entirely attributed to Miss?"

"Whatever!" Wang Sheng didn't care at all. "Would putting it on me bring any extra benefits?"

Song Laoyu breathed a sigh of relief. With Wang Sheng's opening, the following matters would be easier to discuss. So he pondered for a moment and asked cautiously, "Then, can we handle the corpses of these two poisonous pythons?"

Wang Sheng wasn't a fool. If Song Laoyu hadn't mentioned it, Wang Sheng might not have cared. But since he brought it up so solemnly, the corpses of these two Thousand Illusion Poisonous Pythons were definitely not ordinary or worthless.

Thinking about it, the corpses of a Triple Realm Peak and a Fourth Realm Initial stage demon beast, especially the impenetrable scales, it would be strange if they were ordinary.

"What's in it for me?" Wang Sheng didn't beat around the bush. He killed both poisonous pythons, so he had every right to ask for benefits.

"What do you want?" Song Laoyu's heart skipped a beat. The last thing he wanted to see had happened. If Wang Sheng asked for an exorbitant price, Song Laoyu and Song Yan might have to give up a lot.

Kill Wang Sheng and take it all? The two hadn't even considered it. Wang Sheng could kill two Thousand Illusion Poisonous Pythons, and Song Laoyu and Song Yan still didn't know what means Wang Sheng used. Their cultivation levels weren't even as high as the weakest Thousand Illusion Poisonous Python. Who knew how ferocious Wang Sheng would be if pushed to the limit?

"Song Yan, how much are the corpses of these two poisonous snakes worth?" Before naming a price, he had to know the value of the items first, so he could make a proper offer. Wang Sheng humbly asked Song Yan for advice.

Song Yan glared at Wang Sheng, annoyed. Who asks their opponent how much something is worth? Wasn't this guy afraid she'd say a very low number?

However, despite the glare, Song Yan hadn't thought about cheating Wang Sheng out of the value of the poisonous pythons' corpses. Muttering to herself, Song Yan told Wang Sheng some numbers: "The Triple Realm one, ten gold coins for ten pounds of meat, the hide, bones, and scales are estimated to sell for three thousand gold coins. The Fourth Realm one, five gold coins for ten pounds of meat, the hide and bones can sell for five thousand gold coins, calculate it yourself!"

A giant snake more than thirty meters long would weigh at least three tons. After removing the bones, the meat would probably be one and a half tons, which is three thousand pounds, three hundred gold coins. The one over twenty meters long would be a little less, but the price is higher, four hundred gold coins, plus the hide and bones, eight thousand seven hundred gold coins.

Calculating it this way, it doesn't seem like much! It's not even as much as the amount of gold coins Wang Sheng can use unconditionally at Baoqing Surplus Hall.

"This is just the simplest calculation. That meat is very nourishing for cultivators, and if cooked carefully, the value can be increased by at least three times," Song Yan really didn't intend to cheat Wang Sheng out of his benefits, so she explained very clearly. "The bones can be used to make medicine, but they need a lot of medicinal materials to assist, so there's no increase in value. However, the hide and scales can be carefully refined by experts to make several sets of armor, and the value can exceed ten thousand."

Some things Song Yan didn't say, after all, finding someone to cook or finding an expert requires extra connections and costs. However, Wang Sheng killed both poisonous pythons alone, so there's not much point in arguing about these things.

"Then let's calculate the overall value at ten thousand gold coins, three into one, thirty-one, three thousand three hundred and thirty gold coins per person, any objections?" Wang Sheng snapped his fingers and announced his distribution plan, an even split.

Song Laoyu was stunned. He had prepared himself to accept Wang Sheng's exorbitant demands, but Wang Sheng opened his mouth and said to split it evenly. Although the overall value was calculated to be more than a thousand gold coins higher, compared to the large future benefits, it was much less. It must be said that Wang Sheng was too generous.

"You killed the poisonous pythons all by yourself, and you saved both of our lives. This isn't appropriate," Song Yan was also a little dazed, but she reacted quickly and immediately expressed her attitude. "These are actually all yours. It's already inappropriate for us to want them, and we can't let you suffer a loss."

Song Laoyu also reacted and nodded repeatedly. He had wrongly suspected a gentleman's motives. He was a dignified Triple Realm expert, yet he wasn't as open-minded as an insignificant ordinary person. He was truly ashamed.

Thinking about it, Wang Sheng could sell any idea for tens or hundreds of thousands of gold coins, so how could he care about a mere ten thousand gold coins? Thinking of this, Song Laoyu followed Song Yan and persuaded Wang Sheng to take more.

The scene was comical. The one asking for money offered a low price, while the one giving money desperately wanted the one asking for money to take more. The two pushed back and forth, and those who didn't know the situation would have thought their identities were reversed.

"Since that's the case, then how about this," Wang Sheng said a few polite words and didn't argue anymore, taking the opportunity to mention, "I want to take five hundred pounds of the male snake's meat to taste, and also, add a manual for a First Realm cultivation technique for fists and feet, one that can use spiritual energy to attack, how about that?"

The meat wasn't a big deal, Wang Sheng could take it as he pleased. The manual was a bit troublesome. The Song family's cultivation manuals couldn't be casually passed on to outsiders. This was the foundation of the family's existence. Even if Song Yan was the direct daughter of the family head, she couldn't casually cross this line.

"You don't need your Song family's manual, just buy a basic one from outside, suitable for cultivators with very few acupoints," Wang Sheng saw Song Yan's difficulty and directly expanded the scope.

All Wang Sheng wanted was a technique for using spiritual energy to attack. As for the actual attack moves, Wang Sheng had plenty of scientific fighting techniques learned on Earth, and with the help of the combat awareness little man, he really didn't need anything high-level. Moreover, advanced techniques definitely require many acupoints, and Wang Sheng doesn't have the conditions for that now.

Song Yan nodded. That kind of request was much easier, it could be easily bought outside, at most a few hundred gold coins.

"How many acupoints do you have now?" What Song Yan was curious about was, how could Wang Sheng, an insignificant ordinary person, cultivate a First Realm technique? But Song Yan couldn't say those words to discourage Wang Sheng, so she could only ask indirectly. Knowing the number of Wang Sheng's acupoints could give her a rough estimate of whether Wang Sheng could break through to the First Realm.

Although it has never been heard of since ancient times that a non-influential Yuan Soul owner could enter the First Realm, some of the things Wang Sheng has shown are too monstrous and too evil, so much so that when Wang Sheng said he wanted a First Realm technique, Song Yan and Song Laoyu would naturally feel that Wang Sheng was very likely to break into the First Realm.

"One!" Wang Sheng didn't think it was embarrassing to have only one acupoint, and said it very normally. That was an acupoint with Taiji Yin-Yang Qi Vortex, one was worth more than countless ordinary ones, but Wang Sheng wouldn't easily tell them these things.

Song Yan almost wanted to support her forehead and frown, but finally realized that it was very rude, so she didn't make that action. This Wang Sheng was too ambitious, right? One acupoint, it could be said to be the most useless Yuan Soul in the world, but Wang Sheng could still say it with a hint of pride, what was there to be proud of?

"Okay! I'll try to find one that requires fewer acupoints," Song Yan left these words and directly turned her head away. She didn't want Wang Sheng to see the uncomfortable expression on her face right now.

Song Laoyu also looked like he was enduring with difficulty, but he was still very happy in his heart. It was a win-win situation that this matter could be resolved in this way. Song Yan only paid a small price, after all, they still made a profit.

The following things were basically Song family matters and had little to do with Wang Sheng. Song Laoyu left first to organize people to move the corpses of the two poisonous pythons, while Wang Sheng and Song Yan stayed here to watch.

What Wang Sheng didn't notice was that Song Yan specifically instructed a few words when Song Laoyu was about to leave. Song Yan and Song Laoyu couldn't figure out Wang Sheng's means of killing the two poisonous pythons this time. When Song Laoyu went out to bring people over, he would also bring several knowledgeable stewards from the Song family to analyze what means Wang Sheng used from the various clues here.

The corpses of the two poisonous pythons didn't need to be taken care of for the time being. In this world, as long as one reached the strength of the First Realm, the corpse of a demon beast wouldn't rot after death and could be kept for a long time.

But Wang Sheng still took advantage of the freshness and cut off several large pieces of snake meat from near the male snake's heart and put them into the storage ring. The space wasn't large, and he could only put in a few dozen pounds. The remaining five hundred pounds would be eaten in the next few days.

At the same time, the female owner of Baoqing Surplus Hall, who was wearing a veil, also appeared at the main branch of Linglong Pavilion. She was considered a major customer and was warmly invited to the VIP hall by the manager of Linglong Pavilion. Before long, the master craftsman who had forged the precious sword for Baoqing Surplus Hall was invited out.

The female owner had sent a letter long ago, saying that she had something to ask the master craftsman, so she could see the master craftsman so smoothly. Otherwise, when the master craftsman was busy, nothing could interrupt him.

"Master, I have something to ask this time," the female owner said, while signaling the maid to send a long wooden box to the master craftsman.

The master craftsman casually opened the wooden box, and his pupils shrank instantly when he saw the contents. He quickly reached out and took out the long sword inside. At the same time, he also took the thin strip of metal next to the sword in his other hand.

"Master, what kind of weapon can do this?" the female owner asked very sincerely.

This sword was the master craftsman's own work, and he could recognize it at a glance. At the same time, he could also see at a glance that his carefully crafted work had been evenly shaved off that thin strip. In the eyes of the master craftsman, this was clearly a few slaps in the face, both front and back.

He had the audacity to call his work a divine weapon, as sharp as mud, but it was shaved into this shape by someone with an unknown weapon. What a disgrace!
