Dragon's Origin

The path of piano keys came to an end, revealing a thin layer of translucent mist. Behind the mist, Wang Sheng seemed to see the faint glimmer of Qiuniu's eyes.

If Wang Sheng wished, he could break through the translucent mist at any moment, completing his spiritual Qi body refinement and the Qiuniu transformation.

However, Wang Sheng didn't do so. After the golden patterns appeared on the cauldron ears last time, Wang Sheng knew that completing the advancement conditions could still allow his Yuan Soul to continue evolving, bringing even greater benefits.

Even at this stage, Wang Sheng was already greatly benefiting. Countless streams of spiritual Qi surged into Wang Sheng's body through his ears, initiating a spiritual Qi refinement to elevate him to a minor realm.

Grandmaster Yu had stopped playing, and the other dozen or so grandmasters remained silent. Except for Mei'er, everyone here had a much higher cultivation level than Wang Sheng. How could they not notice Wang Sheng's movements?

Mei'er was immersed in the sorrow of the Butterfly Lovers, sobbing and hadn't immediately noticed Wang Sheng's abnormality. When she sensed the strange atmosphere, she realized something was wrong. Just as she was about to speak, Grandmaster Yu directly gestured for her to be silent. Then, she saw Wang Sheng beside her, his eyes closed, undergoing spiritual Qi refinement.

In truth, everyone was quite surprised. Although Wang Sheng had told them before that making musical instruments was related to his cultivation, no one believed him. Who had ever heard of making a musical instrument to improve cultivation? Hearing so much music and about musical instruments could improve one's hearing, which seemed more plausible. For example, Grandmaster Yu, despite his age, had extremely discerning ears, capable of clearly hearing even the slightest wrong note in an ensemble.

However, Grandmaster Yu had not strengthened his hearing. His hearing was honed over decades of immersion in music, the ears of a musician. Just like Grandmaster Lu, he had not strengthened his sense of touch, but he could tell whether any material was suitable for carving as soon as he touched it. This was not orthodox cultivation; it was simply decades of meticulous work. Anyone who spent so much time in a particular professional field would achieve remarkable accomplishments.

But no matter what reason Wang Sheng had for finding them, they would follow Wang Sheng without hesitation. The whimsical ideas in Wang Sheng's mind were simply fatal poison to them.

When the signs of spiritual Qi refinement became more and more obvious, everyone no longer doubted Wang Sheng's previous claims.

Fortunately, it was only a stage advancement, not a major realm breakthrough. Wang Sheng's defenselessness towards these grandmasters, directly advancing in front of them, made these grandmasters even more grateful.

One had to know that no one would place their life in the hands of others unless they had reached a certain level of trust. At this moment, any of them, if they had the intention to act, could certainly kill Wang Sheng.

Everyone sat silently, maintaining their previous postures, either slowly drinking tea, or, like Grandmaster Yu, pressing their fingers in the air above the piano keys, or, like Mei'er, staring blankly at Wang Sheng. No one disturbed Wang Sheng, and the scene was filled with tacit silence.

A minor advancement didn't take long, less than an hour, and Wang Sheng completely finished. The instant he finished, Wang Sheng directly heard more than a dozen different breaths. Wang Sheng couldn't hear them at all before, but now he could hear them clearly.

Opening his eyes, Wang Sheng let out a long breath, and then clapped his hands enthusiastically with a smile. Wang Sheng took the lead, and Mei'er followed suit, and all the dozen or so grandmasters clapped as well.

Grandmaster Yu rose from the piano stool, his face full of excitement. He had successfully played the piece 'Butterfly Lovers' given by the Marquis and had completely accepted the piano. As for the idea of competing with Wang Sheng for the title of king of musical instruments, it had long been forgotten.

The reason for waiting until now was to wait for Wang Sheng's evaluation. To be honest, it was already a good performance for those dozen old guys to stop completely without saying strange things. In Grandmaster Yu's eyes, Wang Sheng was the only one who truly understood music here. Mei'er, at most, could be considered half.

No one mentioned Wang Sheng's advancement, but they all began to focus on their own fields.

"Good stuff! Good stuff!" Grandmaster Yu now wished he could hug this piano to sleep and never let go, his old eyes filled with excited tears. A lifetime of pursuit, and he saw such a thing born in his hands when he was old. Just to study this piano thoroughly, to be able to compose more suitable pieces, he could live for decades longer.

"Master, there are still materials. Make another set and put it in the master's house." Wang Sheng knew Grandmaster Yu's thoughts. He had made three sets of materials at the time with this in mind, and now he hurried to use this to express his gratitude.

Even if Wang Sheng didn't give it, Grandmaster Yu would make his own materials and find these people to make a piano himself. At most, he would ask Wang Sheng for permission, and could Wang Sheng disagree?

"Actually, the piano can be made smaller, made into an upright one, which takes up less space and has a slightly lower volume, but the tone may not be much worse." Since he knew that the Yuan Soul could continue to change, Wang Sheng certainly wouldn't complete the Yuan Soul transformation immediately, but began to consider various factors to maximize the Yuan Soul's improvement.

Making an upright piano was an attempt. Of course, Wang Sheng would also conduct more other attempts.

Anyway, as soon as Grandpa Yu and the dozen or so grandmasters heard that there was also an upright piano, they immediately ignored what time it was and immediately wanted Wang Sheng to explain it to them.

With the grand piano as a foundation, the upright piano was easy to understand. In fact, it was just bending the linearly arranged piano strings to make the overall size smaller, but the size of the keyboard would not change. After only one explanation, Grandmaster Yu and the others understood and said that they would immediately make one according to this structure to try.

Late at night, Wang Sheng still tried to persuade Grandmaster Yu to rest. For the Butterfly Lovers piano piece, the old man had not rested well for several days. In order to let the old man rest in peace, Wang Sheng had to use the Nine Character Incantation and hypnosis to let Grandmaster Yu fall asleep peacefully.

All night long, Wang Sheng was thinking about how to further change the Yuan Soul. Making an upright piano was an attempt, but when Wang Sheng tossed and turned, he suddenly thought that "Butterfly Lovers" was not originally a piano version, but a violin version. Wang Sheng had heard the erhu version and the guzheng version of "Butterfly Lovers" on Earth. This world also had these two instruments, erhu and guzheng. Why not reproduce these two versions of Butterfly Lovers here?

Perhaps because of this, Wang Sheng's Yuan Soul would change again.
