Dragon's Origin

Chapter 368: Supporting with Strength (Part 2)

To investigate even Wang Sheng's bedroom affairs, this Empress is truly formidable. Fortunately, Steward Zhou is clever and handled everything.

Back at the palace, the Emperor's first act was to summon the three grandmasters and his two most trusted ministers to study the method Wang Sheng proposed today, examining its specific feasibility.

"A godsend!" The most important strategist by the Emperor's side, Prime Minister Luo Xingyan, who had previously helped the Emperor plan the grand ceremony, pondered for a while after hearing Steward Zhou's account, and suddenly slapped his thigh excitedly, praising it.

Although he didn't know who came up with the idea, being able to take advantage of the situation stirred up by the currently popular Marquis Changsheng to make waves was simply the work of a master!

The three old eunuchs certainly couldn't have such good ideas, and the other minister looked clueless, so it certainly wasn't him. That could only mean it was the Emperor's intention, with Steward Zhou relaying it. The plan was just a rough framework that needed detailed supplementation, which further indicated that the Emperor was seizing the opportunity.

An Emperor who could propose such a plan was worthy of his meticulous assistance for so many years. Starting with the grand ceremony, Luo Xingyan realized that the royal family's opportunity should have arrived, and this plan further proved this point. At the thought of possibly controlling the world in the future, Luo Xingyan was so excited that he almost jumped up.

A total of six people spent most of the day studying in the imperial study, but the plan was not completely perfected. They temporarily adjourned the meeting, each returning to rest and ponder, and would continue the next day.

"Copy a copy of the 'Guarding Tranquility' mental cultivation method that I practice for Marquis Changsheng." In the evening, the Emperor had dinner with the three old enshrined ones. During the meal, the Emperor suddenly remembered something and instructed Steward Zhou, "Send it over together with the singing and dancing girls and musicians he wants."

"Your Majesty..." Steward Zhou was shocked. How could the Emperor's cultivation method be easily shown to others?

The Emperor seemed to know what Steward Zhou wanted to say, waved his hand, and asked, "Today, Marquis Changsheng said that his cultivation has strengthened his vision, taste, and smell. Do you think it's credible?"

"Credible!" After the three pondered for a while, Chief Steward Li spoke first: "We can roughly guess the cultivation realm of Marquis Changsheng. Being able to kill people from miles away cannot be done by external force alone. At the very least, one must be able to see it, so his eyesight must have been strengthened."

"The news from the shadows is that Marquis Changsheng should have strengthened his sense of taste when he was in Worry-Free City. It is said that he was the one who came up with the most delicacies during that time." Chief Steward Li introduced the content related to Wang Sheng's cultivation: "In addition, Marquis Changsheng also advanced and strengthened his strength once. He spent two full months getting used to it in Worry-Free City."

"The Old Lord Temple has also announced to the public that the regular script and the three giant statues of the Three Pure Ones Temple are also the work of Marquis Changsheng. Marquis Changsheng disappeared for more than a year that time." Chief Steward Li recalled: "The statues and regular script should be related to one of Marquis Changsheng's advancements, but I don't know what was strengthened this time."

"Tranquility!" The Emperor suddenly replied: "For calligraphy and sculpture this time, he must have strengthened his tranquility and calmness, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to control himself when facing Mei'er."

"Based on this, vision, taste, strength, plus tranquility, and he said that he relies on tasting the fragrance of cosmetics to improve his sense of smell. This is at least a fifth-level realm cultivation, which is about the same as what we have mastered." Chief Steward Li analyzed: "Except for strength, the other types of strengthening are not directly reflected in combat power."

"His Yuan Soul is special after all, and is said to be able to upgrade, but it is only a remnant soul." Steward Zhou took over the topic and added: "So there should be a lack in combat power. But his senses are really keen. I suspect that the strengthening in tranquility may have other abilities, otherwise it would be impossible to explain his ability to control man-eating ants and discover demon beasts in advance."

"If we include this ability, maybe he is not a fifth-level realm, but a sixth-level realm cultivation." Old Eunuch Shen pondered for a moment.

Hearing this, everyone nodded. They followed Wang Sheng into the core of the Thousand Serenity Ground, and Wang Sheng's keen senses along the way were simply amazing.

If Wang Sheng could hear these words, he would definitely give these people a thumbs up for their analytical skills. Almost all of his trump cards were analyzed. Unfortunately, these people must not know how powerful the Nine-Character Incantation is, and that was just one of Wang Sheng's advancements.

"Help him, even give him the 'Guarding Tranquility' mental cultivation method that I practice, maybe it can help him and Mei'er achieve good things sooner." The Emperor listened to everyone's words and nodded: "This time he wants to strengthen his hearing. If his hearing is also strengthened, will he be able to come and go freely in the core of the Thousand Serenity Ground?"

The three old eunuchs immediately understood what was going on when they heard that the Emperor wanted to help Wang Sheng and Mei'er achieve good things. A mere cultivation method was nothing, as long as Wang Sheng was instructed not to spread it. As for the benefits to the royal family after achieving good things, the three tacitly nodded.

Remembering Wang Sheng's keenness in the Thousand Serenity Ground, at least the three old eunuchs understood that if Wang Sheng strengthened his hearing again, it would not be a problem for him to enter and exit the core of the Thousand Serenity Ground alone. Then Wang Sheng's previous statement about drawing a map of the core of the Thousand Serenity Ground was not an exaggeration. Even if the Emperor just wanted to use this as an enticement for everyone, he would vigorously support Wang Sheng's cultivation.

"Send the things and people over tomorrow." The Emperor saw the attitude of the three old enshrined ones and understood that they would definitely not object, so he ordered. After ordering, he asked again: "Do you know what Marquis Changsheng and the others did after they went back?"

"Marquis Changsheng took Miss Mei'er out of the city and went to the Old Lord Temple." Chief Steward Li hurriedly reported: "Knowing that they went to the Old Lord Temple, our people didn't follow them anymore."

The Emperor nodded, noncommittal. Sending people to follow to the Old Lord Temple? That would be a waste of manpower, and withdrawing them was the right thing to do.

Although he didn't know what Wang Sheng and Mei'er were doing at the Old Lord Temple, it was a good thing that Wang Sheng could take Mei'er there. Moreover, the Old Lord Temple is Wang Sheng's current backing force. It is normal for Wang Sheng to visit the Old Lord Temple after returning.

"Arrange it well. Actively provide Marquis Changsheng with whatever he needs, without waiting for him to ask." The Emperor continued to instruct: "Putting aside everything else, he can give us hundreds of millions of gold coins every year. Don't let him suffer any grievances in the capital. Let him treat the capital as his own home in the future. He will give us more and more opportunities."

Wang Sheng has already given the royal family two great gifts in a row. One was the grand ceremony where the Emperor enfeoffed the princes, and the other was the current situation of stirring up the princes' struggle. If it is really operated well, the day when the royal family unifies the world is not far away. The Emperor has never been so high-spirited as he is now. In his lifetime, he may really be able to achieve it.
