Chapter 679: Chapter 304: Three Chis of the Golden Bell
The crowd was reluctant to leave, but Zhou Xuan had no desire to continue the lecture. After several hours of speaking, he was already parched.
“Let’s continue tomorrow. I’ll give another lecture here tomorrow. It’s late today, so everyone should go ho and rest.”
It wasn’t easy for the audience’s enthusiasm to be ignited, and similarly, it wasn’t easy to extinguish it. Besides, their ability to co to the tropolitan today was largely thanks to the tropolitan’s free offer,
Ultimately, they didn’t have enough money to support spending in the tropolitan.
“Young Master, we might not be able to co tomorrow. We have no money, and if we don’t make a fortune soon, we might never be able to co to the tropolitan again.”
“Exactly, the tropolitan rarely shows kindness and can’t be kind every day.”
The spectators below were quite honest, not ashad of their lack of money, and indeed, there was no sha in it… The tropolitan was a money pit that few people in Mingjiang Prefecture could afford to spend in.
Fortunately, at this mont, Gu Ling had already rushed back from the God Traveling Departnt. As the big boss of the tropolitan, she imdiately laid down the law, saying: “Ladies and gentlen, as long as this gentleman lectures here for a day, my tropolitan will remain free for a day, just like today,
and fruits and snacks will continue to be supplied for free.”
With Gu Ling’s assurance, everyone felt at ease, and wave after wave of people slowly left the tropolitan.
Once everyone had left, the previously bustling venue beca empty and quiet.
Zhou Xuan said to Gu Ling: “Boss Gu, you’re being quite generous. If I keep telling stories here for a year, you’ll have to run a year’s worth of free business, and soon enough, your tropolitan will be closed.”
“It won’t co to that.”
Gu Ling laughed and said: “Before I went to the God Traveling Departnt, the manager had already inford . Although today was free, compared to usual, the revenue was more, not less.”
“Where did the money co from?”
“The free offerings were just so budget beer. The good wine and expensive snacks haven’t changed in price.”
Gu Ling said: “Not everyone who ca was just ordinary people; there were also so wealthy individuals who didn’t mind spending those copper coins. When they want to drink, they drink, and when they want to eat, they eat,
plus they’re all busy people. Even if they find so free ti to spend during the night, they won’t sit for long before inviting dancing girls and going sowhere lively. Today, they stayed longer and spent more on food and drinks than usual.”
“You businessn, you really don’t get up early without a profit.”
“That’s not entirely true. I still have a sincere heart, hoping that the young master can gather more Wish Power, adding glory to the ‘Will Heavenly Book.’
Speaking of Wish Power, the painter at this point chid in and said: “Young Master, your performance was dazzling today, and you probably absorbed a lot of Wish Power. Is it enough to repair the Ancient Tree Golden Bell?”
“It’s hard to say. I don’t know how much the golden bell is repaired, but I think the progress should be pretty good.”
Zhou Xuan had past experience in “storytelling to gather incense,” where if he stopped lecturing, the Wish Power wouldn’t imdiately cease to be absorbed. It would follow the audience ho, where they would continue to think about the story they heard today, allowing it to grow further.
“This growth will gradually taper off by tomorrow afternoon. Tonight, the golden bell should be repaired to a decent degree, and tomorrow, with the remaining Wish Power, the rest of the progress can be completed.”
“What the young master said gives confidence.”
The painter sincerely invited: “Young master, I need to return to the God Traveling Departnt to see how much progress the Ancient Tree Golden Bell has made. You’re the one repairing the tripod, so you should co witness it too.”
“Old Hua, you’re just worried that the golden bell might still have so issues, and if we encounter sothing unsolvable, it could beco a problem. That’s why you want to invite along to observe the tripod. Just say it straight, no need to beat around the bush…”
“…” The painter, having his thoughts exposed, smiled awkwardly.
…
Tonight’s Mingjiang was livelier than usual. Many spectators went ho but were unwilling to sleep just yet, sharing the stories they heard at the tropolitan with their families.
On the roadside, so small food stands were surrounded by many diners, and small groups were chatting about the book they heard tonight.
The aftermath of Zhou Xuan’s first lecture was still fernting rapidly. The powerful Wish Power, following the departure of the audience, continued to transform into white smoke from many areas within Mingjiang Prefecture, flowing precisely towards Zhou Xuan…
…
On the top floor of Li Yuan Building is the location of the God Traveling Departnt.
Inside a large room within the departnt, a simple and ancient Copper Tripod was held in place by nine Iron Chains.
This tripod is used by the God Traveling Departnt to monitor the Ancient Tree Golden Bell in Mingjiang Prefecture.
Since it’s called a “golden bell,” the dull copper color isn’t its true color.
When Zhou Xuan arrived near the Gu Ding, he saw the Gu Ding reawaken with vitality, glowing with a golden light so bright that the tripod’s body even reflected it.
“The color of this tripod is so bright?”
Zhou Xuan asked.
“The Ancient Tree Golden Bell is indeed an extraordinary Magic Artifact.”
The painter gazed at the golden bell and introduced to Zhou Xuan: “Jing Country was once a land of Chaos, and under the diligent growth of nine Ancestor Trees, the nine giant trees of the human world supported the heavens and the earth…”
“Yes.” Zhou Xuan nodded. When he was in the Mirror World, while enshrining Peng Sheng and the Music Master into gods, the will in his body recited a piece of Genesis from Jing Country.
It also described the origins of the world of Jing Country, exactly as the painter narrated.
