Dragon's Origin

Of course, we can talk. If we couldn't, would the two families be so eagerly waiting for Wang Sheng? In Wang Sheng's mansion, the two families nodded, agreeing to Wang Sheng only leading the way. After that, Wang Sheng made a few more requests.

"You're aiming for the Treasure Map, I know, and you know it too." Wang Sheng wasn't afraid to say some things directly, as it's better than having disagreements later: "So, I'll lead you to the place, and after you confirm you've arrived, each family will send one person back with me. As for what your people do inside and what they get, I don't care and don't want to know. Is that okay?"

"Okay!" In Worry-Free City, the two families would naturally agree to whatever Wang Sheng said. As for what would happen inside, that was beyond Wang Sheng's control.

"Don't think I'm just talking." Wang Sheng smiled and revealed his bottom line to the two representatives: "I've been in close contact with the formations used by those experts who restrained the demon beasts. If I'm threatened inside to do something I don't want to do, I can instantly trigger an avalanche and shatter all the formations. Believe me, you definitely don't want to see that happen."

The smiles on the faces of the two representatives instantly became a bit strained. If Wang Sheng really shattered all those formations, probably none of the people inside would survive, just to avoid being forced to do something? Was it worth it?

"Actually, it's a good thing for both of us." Wang Sheng pretended not to see the forced smiles on their faces and continued, "I've seen how many people you've each lost for the Treasure Map. I don't want to be implicated because something inside shouldn't be leaked or for other reasons. As I said before, I'm just leading the way, and I won't care about anything else. Once we arrive, I'll leave with your two people, and they'll prove that I didn't do anything. Don't come looking for me later to silence me or anything."

Speaking frankly beforehand is a characteristic of Wang Sheng's cooperation with others. Of course, this is only for one-time temporary partners. Wang Sheng has never said such things to Mei'er or Old Daoist Ling Xu. To put it bluntly, Wang Sheng wasn't like this even in front of the Linglong Pavilion Master. Catering to the audience is not a unique skill of Wang Sheng.

After a brief moment of awkwardness, the two representatives from the Shi and Gan families began to ponder and suddenly realized that what Wang Sheng said was actually very reasonable.

Deciding on a solution early on would prevent things from becoming unmanageable and requiring murder to silence people. Wang Sheng made it clear in advance that he would only lead the way and not care about what was inside the Treasure Map, which was indeed a good way to ensure that both parties could continue to cooperate in the future.

As for the news of the peerless Treasure Map itself, Wang Sheng was not a talkative person in this regard, and no one had ever heard any rumors from other principalities, which said it all. If the peerless Treasure Map was obtained in the future, it would be too late for other principalities to cause trouble.

Thinking carefully, this kind of cooperation was actually quite good. The two exchanged glances and saw the wavering thoughts in each other's eyes.

"Okay!" they both said, making their decision. Anyway, they had originally invited Wang Sheng to lead the way, and Wang Sheng was only doing that.

"The most important thing." Wang Sheng sighed and said what was probably the most difficult thing to accept: "I'll try my best to ensure everyone's safety, but I can't give absolute guarantees. Do you understand what I mean?"

The two nodded in unison. They actually knew this even without Wang Sheng saying it. Wang Sheng had repeatedly emphasized this point when he took everyone into the Thousand Absolutes Land a long time ago, let alone this time, when they were entering the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land.

"If you agree, go and prepare!" Wang Sheng stood up and said to the two of them, "While you're negotiating the reward with the Madam, prepare ten people, no more than ten. Also, remember to pay for the method to prevent snow blindness when you negotiate the reward."

Ten experts? Five from each family, and they still wanted to explore the peerless Treasure Map, and Wang Sheng would take two away after arriving, wouldn't that leave only eight? How was that enough?

The two argued strongly, and finally, Wang Sheng relented, allowing twelve people. He would take two away, leaving ten to explore the peerless Treasure Map. In addition, Wang Sheng was not responsible for their exit. They had to leave marks along the way and retreat along the same route.

The method to prevent snow blindness was extremely important. Even the greatest expert would definitely have their strength reduced by at least half if they suddenly lost their sight, if not more. This was crucial to whether they could survive, and they couldn't take it lightly, even if the price was high, they had to buy it.

"Let me say this first, this method is very simple, but it was tested with the lives of many people, and I only learned about it by chance." Wang Sheng once again spoke frankly: "Don't think I'm ripping you off because of this."

They had already spent a lot of money, so they didn't care about this little bit. The two representatives nodded in unison, then arranged for experts, arranged for people in the capital to bargain with Mei'er, and prepared supplies according to the list provided by Wang Sheng.

This time, Wang Sheng also obtained his customized items from the two Linglong Pavilion Grandmasters living in his old house. Ice skates, snowboards, ski poles, detachable sleds, snow boots, ski suits, and a series of equipment suitable for living in the icy and snowy environment. This was what Wang Sheng had prepared for himself. When appropriate, Wang Sheng could use them to escape. As for the others, hehe. Some trump cards could only be prepared for Wang Sheng himself. As the saying goes, Wang Sheng was not a saint.

Mei'er had already received the news and was sharpening her knife in the capital, waiting eagerly. She never expected that Wang Sheng would really entrust the matter of bargaining to her.

She had already decided in her heart that Wang Sheng was her man, so Mei'er was very clear that if her man was working hard outside, risking his life, then she must not let his adventure be in vain. Those who dared to make her man risk his life must also taste the pain.

The Shi and Gan families moved quickly. Including the back-and-forth negotiations, sending messages, and preparations, it only took three days. The twelve experts were ready and waiting for Wang Sheng outside Worry-Free City.

When the same two representatives came to invite Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng could clearly see the pained expressions on their faces. Knowing that they were doing it for him to see, Wang Sheng was also happy in his heart. It seemed that Mei'er had really wielded her big knife a lot. He would ask her how much meat she had cut from the two families when he returned.

After meeting with the experts, Wang Sheng didn't waste any time. Everyone set off directly, heading straight for the camp along the main road in the Thousand Absolutes Land opened up by Yu Baozhai. Changing direction at the camp was the easiest way.
