Chapter 327: From Confucian Daoist to Scholar Official (3)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The county magistrate’s banquet was an opportunity to show his talent and gather reputation. He was actually unwilling to reveal it. It was most likely because he did not have any real talent and was afraid that would be revealed.

Han Muye did not participate in the discussion of literature, and Kong Chaode did not join either.

He was good at physical things and only knew a little about poems.

However, when Shen Si and Mu Jin were talking about the spiritual herbs transaction and the pill business, Kong Chaode became energetic.

“Lord Shen, this is a pill sold by my Han family’s trading company. Lord, take a look at the quality.”

Kong Chaode took the opportunity to take out two small jade bottles and handed them to Shen Si.

“The Han family’s trading company?” Su Lin frowned and looked at Kong Chaode. “Mr. Kong Rong, why haven’t I heard of your trading company?”

The Su family was not a small family clan in the area. They had a lot of pill and spiritual herb businesses. Su Lin knew some family clans in the business circle, but he had never heard of a Han family’s trading company.

“Hehe, our Han family’s trading company is only beginner-level at the moment.” Han Muye looked up and said with a smile, “Only Mr. Kong and I are here on this trip.”

A two-person business?

Su Lin shook his head and immediately lost interest.

The people around him also smiled and shook their heads.

Scholars should not be involved in such business matters. It would disturb their peace.

A Confucian cultivator who gave up on studying hard was destined to have no future.

Not only Su Lin and the others, but even Shen Si no longer thought highly of Han Muye.

Previously, he thought that Han Muye was a traveling student like Su Lin. Now it seemed that he was a traveling merchant.

The Central Continent valued scholars over business. A traveling merchant was not even fit to sit with a scholar official.

Shen Si pondered for a moment and reached out to take Kong Chaode’s two jade bottles. He said indifferently, “I rarely use the power of pills in my cultivation. Shopkeeper Kong, I’m afraid your pills—”

Before he could finish, his body trembled and his eyes widened. “The Pure Divine—”

In the jade bottle were two supreme-grade Pure Divine Pills.

A supreme-grade pill was considered extremely high-quality in the Central Continent. It was qualified to be considered a Spiritual Pill.

The Central Continent’s alchemy was prosperous. The quality of the pills refined by alchemy cultivators was very high.

No one in the Central Continent was interested in ordinary pills from the Western Frontier.

Fine-quality pills were considered ordinary pills in the Central Continent.

Only supreme-grade pills with a trace of spirituality were considered Spiritual Pills. They were the most popular pills in the Central Continent.

Immortal-grade pills were high-quality Spiritual Pills. Their value was extraordinary. Even in the Central Continent, only alchemy masters had them.

The Imperial City had pills that were above the immortal grade.

Although alchemy was flourishing, the Central Continent still lacked medicinal pills.

Especially the pills to temper the soul and refine the body.

Cultivating the Confucian Dao in the Central Continent consumed one’s soul. Most Confucian Dao cultivators had weak bodies and needed to be refined.

According to Kong Chaode’s suggestion, Han Muye had brought the best divine pills to temper the soul and the feather condensing pills to temper the body when he came to the Central Continent.

These two types of pills were both sixth-grade pills and were extremely valued in the Continent.

“I didn’t expect the Han family’s trading company to have such a good pill.”

Shen Si’s expression changed. He chuckled and looked at Kong Chaode. “I wonder how much Mr. Kong’s pill is for?”

As he asked, he gripped the jade bottle tightly.

Han Muye and Kong Chaode looked at each other and smiled.

This business was done.

The Central Continent was rich and did not lack spiritual rocks.

These two supreme-grade Pure Divine Pills were exchanged for 800 high-grade spiritual rocks, various spiritual herbs, and materials from Shen Si.

The total value of spiritual herbs and materials exceeded 1,000 high-grade spiritual rocks.

After all, they were only supreme-grade pills. Two of them were priced at 1,800 high-grade spiritual rocks, after a discount of 18 million low-grade spiritual rocks.

This price was nearly five times that of what they could fetch in the Western Frontier.

Seeing that the business deal was settled, Han Muye smiled and stood up to leave.

Mu Jin also stood up.

Watching them leave, Shen Si hurriedly returned with the pills.

Such soul-tempering pills were good stuff.

“Hmph, I thought he was a traveling scholar, but it turns out he’s here to do business.”

A young man in linen clothes standing beside Su Lin said in a low voice as he looked at Han Muye and the others walking out of the restaurant.

If not for Han Muye and the others, the banquet would have lasted for at least an hour.

They could have approached the scholar officials and asked them more questions.

Shen Si, an official who governed a region, was not only knowledgeable, but also practical. He was a true elite among Confucian cultivators.

To be able to communicate with him was a rare opportunity for the junior scholars.

On the other side, a young man said disdainfully, “When you cultivate the Confucian Dao and get involved in business matters, your thoughts are basically useless.”

Su Lin nodded and was about to speak when his eyes widened.

Below, a faint purple spiritual light rose from Han Muye’s body.

“Destiny!”

Su Lin let out a low cry and said in disbelief, “How did he condense the People’s Expectations?”

The People’s Expectations were the wishes of the people. It was an indispensable element in the cultivation of Confucianism.

Every scholar official needed to gather the wishes of the people to inherit the power of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.

How could a Confucian cultivator like Han Muye, who had become a businessman, condense the People’s Expectations?

“Could it be because of the county magistrate?” Someone frowned and looked at Han Muye.

“No.” Su Lin’s expression was solemn as he said in a low voice, “This person has a purple aura. It’s condensed because of his literary talent.

“When all is said and done, who is he?”

When Su Lin found out who Han Muye was, it was already a day later.

Half a day after Han Muye and the others left Xiyuan County, the garrison of Xisai Town sent the poem written by the traveling scholar.

“In front of Mount Xisai, the white heron flies. In the flowing spring of peach blossoms. the mandarin fish fattens.”

These two sentences alone caused a stir in the county city of Xiyuan County.

Is there such a poem at the border of Shuxi?

Mount Xisai would definitely become the holy land of the literary world!

“I actually failed to befriend such a person. I, Su Lin, am really blind…” Standing at the entrance of the Xiyuan county city, Su Lin had a gloomy expression.

At this moment, on the flying ship that had long left Xiyuan County, Han Muye looked curious.

“Is this the Confucian Daoist’s human will?”

In his palm, a faint purple spiritual light changed. Sometimes it turned into a crown, sometimes it condensed into an ink brush, and even formed a seal.

Kong Chaode, who was sitting opposite him, looked envious. He nodded and whispered sourly, “Young Master, based on this People’s Expectations, you can become a scholar official…”

Become a scholar official?

Not interested.

Han Muye held the purple spiritual light in his hand and let it change. In the end, it turned into a light purple cloud and attached to the folding fan.

In an instant, the folding fan of mountains and rivers turned purple.
