Dragon's Origin

“There’s nothing to figure out.” Wang Sheng smiled and replied, “I never intended to hide it. But I have a bad temper. The more you pressure me, the less willing I am. Now that I’ve settled down for the past two years, taking everyone in for a bit of fun isn’t out of the question.”

“Got character!” The old eunuch beside him gave a thumbs up in praise. Then, together with the steward, they secretly despised those short-sighted individuals. They could have talked things over and cooperated, but they insisted on hunting him down, resulting in so many deaths. Now that the guy is willing to cooperate, how will the five great families respond?

“How do you plan to cooperate?” The old steward smiled faintly. He didn’t care how the five great families handled things, as Wang Sheng certainly wouldn’t bypass Worry-Free City: “Any specific arrangements?”

“Of course!” Wang Sheng smiled at the old steward: “I’ll definitely need you to work hard again. I’m only responsible for bringing people in and out. As for who those people are, I don’t care. Let the City Lord decide!”

Anyway, it starts with only ten people. Giving it to one family means denying it to another, which will inevitably offend someone. It’s more appropriate for the City Lord of Worry-Free City to take the blame for this. They’re probably used to it, and they can also take the opportunity to gain some benefits. Why not?

“I knew it!” The steward said with a look of disdain. However, although his face showed disdain, his eyes were full of smiles.

“First, if any family wants to send people over, then their family or sect should withdraw their pursuit of me, right?” Wang Sheng began to list his requirements one by one: “Those who can’t let go of their hatred can forget it. It’s not a big deal if we don’t cooperate. Have I said anything after being hunted down for so many years? Right?”

The old steward and the shadow eunuch nodded like woodpeckers. But in their hearts, they were secretly laughing. It’s true that Wang Sheng was hunted down, but the ones who died were others, not Wang Sheng. Who could argue with that?

But then again, is it enjoyable to be hunted down by the five great families? Wang Sheng has also suffered a lot, so this condition must be agreed to. If not, they can just watch other families enter and exit the Thousand Absolutes Territory. No forcing.

“Second condition.” Wang Sheng didn’t act pretentious in front of the old steward and the old eunuch, holding up two fingers and saying: “Each time I take ten people in and out of the Thousand Absolutes Territory, isn’t it reasonable to exchange ten people for one Creation Pill or a similar medicinal pill?”

“Not at all! Not at all!” The steward shook his head like a rattle drum. If each person is considered a force, then it’s not an exaggeration for ten families or sects to collectively produce one Creation Pill.

The steward didn’t care what Wang Sheng wanted the Creation Pill for. But the effects of the Creation Pill are just those few, so anything goes. It’s probably because Wang Sheng ate two Creation Pills last time and leveled up, so he thought he wanted to do it again.

Ordinary people don’t know what happened after Wang Sheng exchanged for the Creation Pill last time, but how could the steward not know? Now the Creation Pill is no longer a mysterious pill. As long as there is a skilled alchemist who can find the materials, they can refine it. Wang Sheng’s request for one at this time is actually underestimating the people of the world.

However, the steward didn’t expose it. Anyway, he would help Wang Sheng change it to two when he passed on the message. Wang Sheng would definitely appreciate it, and that would be a great favor. The benefits in the future would definitely be substantial.

“Third, those who want to enter should preferably not have too low a cultivation level.” Wang Sheng stated the requirements for the candidates: “It’s best not to be lower than the fourth level of the Qi Refining stage. Those at or above the fourth level can be considered. It’s extremely dangerous inside, and I can’t take care of those with too low a cultivation level.”

This is hardly a condition. When you let the families choose the people to enter and exit the Thousand Absolutes Territory, they wouldn’t possibly only choose a few at the first or second level of the Qi Refining stage. It wouldn’t matter whether Wang Sheng mentioned it or not.

“I haven’t thought of anything else, let’s just start with these for now!” Wang Sheng thought for a while, preparing to conclude. But when concluding, he suddenly thought of something: “Oh right, it’s true that I’m taking people in and out, but I haven’t promised to teach them anything. This applies to everyone, so don’t blame me for not saying it beforehand.”

“Understood!” The steward nodded. It was reasonable for Wang Sheng to say that. He’s only taking people in and out, but he hasn’t guaranteed to teach anyone. This way, anyone who wants to enter the Thousand Absolutes Territory in the future will always need Wang Sheng. The benefits are long-term, a smart person’s approach.

Of course, the steward wouldn’t object. Every time they have to pass through the Worry-Free City Lord’s Mansion, this is also a long-term income for the City Lord’s Mansion. Would the City Lord refuse?

Wang Sheng’s conditions were simple and clear, with no room for negotiation. The steward quickly left, as the message had to be sent out as soon as possible. The City Lord’s Mansion also needed the City Lord to decide on the additional conditions.

The old eunuch was also about to leave. After hearing Wang Sheng’s conditions, he was thinking about how the imperial family could insert people. However, just as he stood up, Wang Sheng stopped him.

“If you want to insert people, there’s no need to do it this time.” Wang Sheng said to the old eunuch: “Wouldn’t it be better to see the results of the first time?”

Seeing the old eunuch frown a little, Wang Sheng simply spoke frankly: “I’m reminding you because I think you’re a good person. For the first time, no one knows who will be sent, or how they will cooperate. There might be some mistakes, and success or failure is another matter. If I were you…”

Wang Sheng didn’t need to say more. The old eunuch understood himself. Wang Sheng’s words were true, not only true but also golden advice.

The old eunuch was very clear about this. At his age, what kind of tricks and schemes hadn’t he seen? What is the first time? No matter what you do, the first time is almost always about risking your life to find a way. If it weren’t for him, Wang Sheng wouldn’t have said these things to him.

“I understand!” The old eunuch cupped his fist gratefully to Wang Sheng, jumped over the wall, and went back home.

In an instant, there was no one else in the courtyard, and the small courtyard returned to silence. Wang Sheng hadn’t returned for more than a year, and the small courtyard seemed to have more vitality because of the return of its owner. In the evening, Wang Sheng specially asked the cook to prepare some good dishes and had a delicious meal at home with the two little maids and the cook.

Early the next morning, Wang Sheng got up early and began to practice calligraphy in the courtyard. Now Wang Sheng was used to using this method to replace morning exercises, and the effect was very good.

Just after breakfast, the steward came to the door. Behind the steward was someone Wang Sheng didn’t expect, Sister Rose.

“The Assassin Hall has calculated that the points from those assassin tokens are enough for you to become a level six azure assassin.” Seeing Wang Sheng’s surprised look, the old steward explained with a smile: “Azure assassins don’t need to go to the Assassin Hall every time. For every azure assassin who has property in Worry-Free City, the Assassin Hall will send a dedicated person to provide one-on-one service. You’re familiar with Rose, so she will be responsible for serving you alone in the future.”

“In addition, the Creation Pill you wanted has been brought to you!” Before Wang Sheng could say anything about Sister Rose, the steward said something that surprised Wang Sheng even more.
