Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1866: Chapter 1402: Awaiting Cultivation

The Four Books and Five Classics personally written by the Great Confucian unexpectedly influenced Li Zhirui’s current mental state, which was truly extraordinary and made him quite happy.

Because at his current level, external objects that can influence one’s mental state are quite rare.

So much so that he wanted to ask the merchant which Great Confucian wrote those Four Books and Five Classics, to see if there was an opportunity to meet him and request that he write some more Confucian classics.

Li Zhirui actually did ask in the end, but unfortunately, the merchant regrettably said, ”That Great Confucian has passed away, and it was his unworthy descendants who brought it to auction.”

”Could you tell me his identity? I would like to purchase the remaining handwritten works of that Great Confucian.”

The merchant shook his head, indicating that he could not directly tell him who it was, but he could pass on a message, and if the other party was willing, they would contact him.

”Thank you, I appreciate it!” Saying this, he handed over ten thousand taels of silver.

The person accepted it with a smile, pocketing the silver without hesitation.

Li Zhirui was not surprised, as it is well known that merchants love money. After arranging the matter, he turned and left the small room responsible for transactions.

The scholars who earlier clamored to show him Confucian methods were long gone by now.

Because compared to his trivial matter, the Mo Family obtaining the method to establish a Human Dao dynasty was far more significant and could not be ignored.

He found this quite agreeable, enjoying the ease, as avoiding trouble was always preferable.

As Li Zhirui exited the auction house through a hidden door, discussions on the various happenings at the auction had already started across Cloud Brocade City.

Whether peddlers or the common folk, whether street vendors or restaurants and teahouses, everyone was discussing the related matters wherever you looked.

The most talked about was the Mo Family purchasing the Human Dao dynasty method for nearly forty million taels of silver!

Li Zhirui slightly shook his head, seeming to understand that the entire Daqian would not be peaceful for some time, though it had nothing to do with him as he was just a passerby cultivator.

In the following days, he stayed in the inn, waiting for the merchant to contact him while using the Great Confucian’s handwritten works to support his cultivation.

He was not truly a registered cultivator; he only took advantage of a thread of Ancestor Dragon Qi to blend into it and avoid the suppression of the Human Dao magic network.

Thus, it was relatively difficult for him to cultivate within the Human Dao realm, with the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy and refining mana being quite slow; fortunately, when it came to comprehending the Heavenly Dao Laws, there was not such a big limitation.

After all, no matter how powerful the Human Dao is, it cannot surpass the Heavenly Dao.

If Li Zhirui wanted to increase his mana, he could enter a space to cultivate; however, at his current realm, mana was no longer important.

He waited at the inn for half a month, yet the merchant did not contact him. He understood either the Great Confucian’s family no longer had what he needed, or they were unwilling to sell.

As for whether the merchant failed to pass the message? That was impossible, as merchants valued integrity the most and would not renege on their promises.

Even if they could not accomplish it, it would be due to unavoidable circumstances and they would not only provide a detailed explanation but also offer some compensation.

”Alas!”

Faced with this result, Li Zhirui could not help but sigh.

”It seems I was too greedy.”

But soon after, he shook his head, grinding away the sense of loss in his heart.

Acquiring an item beneficial to one’s cultivation was already a heavenly blessing; wanting more would indeed be somewhat greedy.

Concluding this session of cultivation, Li Zhirui slowly wrapped up his practice and then stood up, leaving the room.

Upon entering the hall, he saw a crowd gathered, enthusiastically discussing something, and with a little focus, he heard what they were talking about.

”Wasn’t it previously rumored that the Confucians planned to take action against the Mo Family? Why hasn’t there been any movement yet?”

”Yes, it’s said that the Confucians were trying to persuade the dynasty to expel the Mo Family and sever the Mo Family’s legacy within Daqian.”

”Are the Confucian methods that ruthless? To sever a family’s legacy in one stroke?”

”But it seems now that the Confucians don’t have such powerful influence, as the dynasty has not reacted to it.”

Relying heavily on timely information, merchants established a dedicated information network within Daqian, ensuring they received news from across the state domain within a few hours.

Moreover, as the base of the Xiu and merchant families, the people of Jinzhou have never liked the Confucians and are very eager to see the Confucians’ misfortunes and spectacles.

From their conversation, Li Zhirui learned that the Confucians’ attempt to block the Mo Family had completely failed.

This likely involved multiple philosophical schools, as Confucians, being the head of the Human Dao Hundred Schools and the leading doctrine, often faced displeasure, resistance, and enmity, with many seeking to trouble them.

”Latest news!”

At this moment, a young man hurriedly ran in, waving a newspaper in his hand, excitedly saying, ”Three Saints of the Daqian Mo Family have led numerous Mo Family scholars out of Daqian, heading for the Land of Ten Thousand Spirits in the southern Devil Race lands; they are likely choosing to establish a dynasty there!”

Whoosh—

Instantly, it was like a massive rock crashing into a lake, splashing water everywhere, and the hall became bustling with noise.

”Is it true?!”

”What a grand move by the Mo Family!”

”Three Saints of the Mo Family? It’s said that Daqian Mo Family only has four Saints in total. It seems they are determined to claim a piece of land and establish a new dynasty.”
