Dragon's Origin

Chapter 463: The Madness Caused by Music (Part 1)

The news spread that very night. Those music lovers who had paid ten times the ticket price to listen to the music were ecstatic and spread the word.

The royal family reacted quickly. That same night, they instructed the Ministry of Rites to find a suitable place in the imperial city to build a royal theater slightly smaller than the Royal Grand Theater, specifically for performances for the Emperor.

As soon as the news spread, the entire capital city was in an uproar. If the previous concert, attended by the women of the Prince's mansion, spread news of beauty, then this time, people's attention was entirely focused on the concert itself.

Listening to music could promote cultivation? The entire Grand Theater experienced spiritual energy fluctuations, leading to a collective cultivation session? Not only did they cultivate, but they also perfectly enjoyed a concert during their cultivation?

Among the two hundred plus ticket buyers, seven advanced in realm that very night after returning home. Thirty to forty others improved their cultivation by a small realm, and the rest all made progress in their cultivation. It could be said that a concert lasting at most two hours was equivalent to at least two months of hard cultivation for them.

Those who had originally planned to buy tickets but later found them too expensive were all beating their chests in regret! If they had known this was the case, they would have gone even if it cost a thousand gold coins, let alone one hundred! Two months of hard cultivation, the cost of food alone might not be less than one hundred gold coins! How could they have been so foolish, usually so generous, but stingy when they should have been generous?

The next morning, countless invitations were sent to the Duke's mansion, all from the dignitaries of the capital, those who considered themselves important enough to speak to Wang Sheng. The content of the invitations was a mess, some intending to invite Wang Sheng to their residences as a guest, some trying to build connections, some wanting to send gifts, some wanting to send beauties, but after removing all this mess, only one core content remained: to inquire about the date of the next performance, and then ask the Duke to help reserve a few tickets.

As for the price of the tickets, no one even mentioned it. Everyone had the attitude of 'just name a price, and we'll deliver it immediately'.

These invitations were not even delivered to Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng directly let the head steward handle them. He was currently interested in two questions: one was whether the effect of the Grand Theater was so much better than the small theater because of the larger number of audience members and musicians? Was it because of the greater number of formations?

The other was that the current members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra had inconsistent levels. Some were extremely skilled principal players, while others were ordinary musicians who had just barely qualified to perform on stage. In this situation, the effect was still so good. What if all the musicians were at a similar level?

Of course, what Wang Sheng looked forward to most was the magical effect that would occur when those Grandmaster invited by Master Yu arrived in the capital.

The first question required several formation experts to study together. The second question required Master Yu to answer, and neither was something Wang Sheng could answer for the time being.

The consequence of the capital's uproar was that after more than half a day, all the vassal states were also in an uproar. At least the royal palaces of each vassal state were in an uproar.

Music had such a good effect? No one believed the news that was being transmitted, but the people responsible for transmitting the news in the capital were all reliable members of various families, and it was impossible for them to transmit incorrect information.

The rulers of each country did not delay and immediately summoned their respective court musicians to perform. But obviously, there was no effect. They had already heard this kind of performance countless times, and they had never felt any spiritual energy fluctuations. Another performance would be the same, even ten more times would be the same.

The countries were about to send letters to reprimand the people in the capital for being alarmist, but then the second messenger bird letter was sent back. Duke Changsheng had spoken, only the Royal Grand Theater and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra could achieve this effect.

The Royal Grand Theater was built with royal sponsorship, by a grandmaster architect plus several members of the royal family for several months, and later carefully arranged with sound diffusion formations by several formation masters. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was led by Master Yu, a grandmaster in music, and even the pieces performed were mostly carefully composed by Duke Changsheng.

Wang Sheng was always able to come up with things that others couldn't, which was no longer a surprise. Since this time it was also related to Duke Changsheng, then the matter was very likely to be true. However, all parties were relatively cautious and expressed cautious belief in the news returned without their own people personally experiencing it, relying only on hearsay.

At the earnest request of all parties, and with Wang Sheng consciously giving all parties an opportunity to verify, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, which had rested for five days, performed again at the Royal Grand Theater.

This time, Wang Sheng was not too excessive, only increasing the ticket price by twenty times based on the initial price, making it two hundred gold coins per ticket.

In less than twenty minutes, one thousand concert tickets at two hundred gold coins each were sold out. The people in the back of the line were dumbfounded and could hardly believe what they were seeing. Then they quickly became agitated, and countless people in line began to clamor, dissatisfied with the result.

The result of the clamor was that it directly attracted the Imperial Guards and a group of royal experts, who almost bloodily suppressed those clamoring guys on the spot. Fortunately, the shopkeeper sent by Mei'er saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly took it upon himself to temporarily decide to add another performance the next day, selling another thousand tickets, which finally calmed the whole thing down.

There were performances for two consecutive days, allowing two thousand people to enjoy the grand occasion of thousands of people cultivating together with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. For two consecutive days, experts broke through and advanced in realm at the performance site, triggering the tempering of the body by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and some of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth triggered by them also joined the large spiritual energy group, resulting in all those present benefiting greatly, taking advantage of even more than Wang Sheng and the Emperor in that performance.

After calculating, there were a total of seventeen people who broke through on the spot during the two days of performances, including an eighth-level expert who advanced to the Legendary realm. There were so many people on the scene, under the watchful eyes of the public, everyone had a feeling, this could absolutely not be faked.

The new news was once again transmitted back to the major vassal states, this time the vassals had no choice but to believe it. Their people personally went to the scene and personally felt that atmosphere, it was absolutely impossible to be a rumor.

Countless people began to inquire about the identity of the builder of the Royal Grand Theater, and more people inquired about the identity of the members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. All parties seemed to still have the old way of thinking, such a good thing, no matter what, must be held in their own hands, and must not be easily let go.
