Chapter 771: Chapter 771 Conceited Chapter 771: Chapter 771 Conceited Yu Changzhu revealed Feng Jun’s secret, but Mi Yunshan and Chen Junsheng just watched from the side—this was the real Chen Junsheng.
These three were primarily responsible for handling Feng Jun’s social and business affairs, knowing that the secrets Yu Changzhu ntioned were only relative. Although many people were not aware, those who needed to know would eventually find out.
However, Mu Fengtang was completely awake: Mount Zhige… no wonder it was so mysterious, truly no one dared to act recklessly nor speak carelessly, and it’s no surprise that the Tiantong Comrcial Alliance had specially set up an outpost here.
Then he began to seriously consider the possibility between himself and Lang Family’s eldest daughter.
Lang Zhen from a small family with a small household? That didn’t matter; Lang Zhen’s broken arm? That also didn’t matter; Lang Zhen being just an interdiate-level martial master? That mattered even less. The key was—that he was Doctor Feng’s confidant.
No one ntioned Feng Jun’s cultivation level, not even Yu Changzhu, who was the most audacious—actually, she was not certain about it.
However, Mu Fengtang was sure that Doctor Feng’s cultivation level couldn’t be too low—after all, he was capable of issuing bans to those in the out-of-world phase.
He thought about it carefully again and felt that even if, taking a step back, the Divine Doctor were only at the Qi Refining Initial Stage, Lang Family’s eldest daughter would still be more than a good match for him.
This was the daughter of an Immortal’s attendant!
Strictly speaking, Mu Fengtang was not overly obsessed with looks—aesthetic appreciation was common amongst n, and Mu Fengtang had such inclinations too, but not too intensely.
In his mind, a wife should have a pleasant appearance, an acceptable background, but most importantly, she should be virtuous and fertile.
So after careful consideration, Lang Family’s eldest daughter wasn’t too shabby either; not only was she reasonable and sensible in her conduct, but her figure also suggested that she would be fertile.
However, if possible, he certainly hoped to find soone with even better looks.
The aspect of being “an Immortal’s attendant’s daughter” couldn’t be counted as just an acceptable background, but then again, even girls with “excellent backgrounds” couldn’t compare to this factor.
Of course, Lang Family’s eldest daughter’s appearance was also definitely not ugly. Her father, Lang Zhen, had average looks, but in his pri, his conditions were quite presentable and he married a very fine woman.
The eldest daughter’s looks were 70% like her mother’s, naturally not bad at all.
In the following ti, Mu Fengtang pursued Lang Family’s eldest daughter vigorously.
It must be admitted that apart from Mu Fengtang’s family background, his own personal attributes were also quite impressive, coming from generations of a noble family where even marriages considered the compatibility of social standing, looks did matter a bit.
Over ti, with the accumulation of excellent genes, Mu Fengtang’s appearance and physique were indeed presentable.
Of course, he might be sowhat inferior to Feng Jun, but not by much.
However, compared to Mu Fengtang’s intense pursuit, Lang Family’s eldest daughter’s reaction could be described as indifferent.
In every young girl’s heart, there’s a dream of a hero—and if that hero could be handso, even better.
In her previous eighteen years of life, she had lived sowhat dazedly, confined to Small Lake Village with very limited exposure.
Had it not been for Feng Jun, an otherworldly visitor, who drastically changed her destiny, it was very likely that she would have married Chief Jia’s son and spent her entire life in the village—that fellow’s na was even forgotten by the author of this text.
Now, her horizons had greatly expanded, and her standards had risen considerably. Innate Experts, whom she previously thought of as re legends, she didn’t know how many she had seen, and even Innate Experts had to be polite to her.
Not to ntion the Immortals who transcended worldly existence.
She originally wanted to be the Divine Doctor’s female attendant, but was stopped by Lang Zhen.
Lone Wolf certainly wished for a good future for his daughter, but he was aware that his daughter probably lacked the qualifications for cultivation, otherwise the Divine Doctor might have considered it. And he himself had two sons who also needed cultivation resources.
Most importantly, Lang Zhen himself wanted to cultivate, and he was counting on obtaining resources from the Divine Doctor.
Regarding Feng Jun’s treatnt of the Lang Family, even outsiders knew he was not stingy—but precisely because of this, Lang Zhen believed his family should be grateful and not make unreasonable demands.
Therefore, his requirents for his daughter were: we should not give up but also not force anything, and let things take their course.
There was a ti when Lang Zhen’s wife hoped her daughter could beco a concubine to Feng Jun, but later on, she didn’t even dare to think about it anymore—the gap in status between the two families was just too vast.
Without ntioning other things, looking at the Yuan Guangmi Family, although they couldn’t be considered a very powerful heavyweight, they were far superior to the likes of local tyrants such as the Dongmu Tian Family, and even the legitimate daughter of the Mi Family was only a female attendant laying beds and warming feet for Feng Jun, without even the title of a concubine.
And now everyone knew that Mi Yunshan was also once a Cultivation Seedling, but there had been a mishap during her Guidance.
Even a “Cultivation Seedling” is treated this way; what can others expect? Feng Jun is willing to take care of the Lang Family, and the Lang Family must not fail to et this trust.
Therefore, in the heart of Lang Daii, she had already given up her thoughts of Feng Jun, despite feeling sowhat unreconciled… what could she do about it?
However, her nature has always been sowhat rough and ready, and she wasn’t too saddened by it; after all, the skill of “recognizing reality” is one that ordinary people start polishing from a young age.
Her mother made a suggestion, advising her to make use of Feng Jun’s influence to pick a suitable husband on Mount Zhige.
Lang Daii halfheartedly agreed and did occasionally look around, but the number of n who could attract her heart were truly few—there’s no way around it; she set the bar too high, and soone with Feng Jun’s conditions was rare even among cultivators.
Of course, when Lang Daii helped Mu Fengtang, it was partly because she was fair and just, speaking out when things weren’t right, and partly because his various qualifications were also quite acceptable in her eyes,
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone out of her way to intervene in the matter and also offered a reminder afterward.
But what annoyed Daii was that the other party actually said there would be a reward afterward—don’t ask how she found out; there were too many on Mount Zhige trying to curry favor with her and Lang Zhen.
So, when Mu Fengtang ca to court her, she bluntly replied, “Forget it, I’ll just wait for your generous reward.”
What kind of man is Young Master Mu? He imdiately detected the resentnt in her words.
Interestingly enough, after hearing her words, he beca even more determined to pursue her—the character of being straightforward yet not willful is truly rare among the offspring of great clans and noble families.
Mu Fengtang genuinely believed she would make a good match for him.
Because he was busy courting Lang Daii, he didn’t even have ti to go back to Tianfeng County. After buying the Dew Fragrance Water, he directly had Uncle Dan protect the old servant and take the goods back ho.
But he did communicate his business strategy to the old servant to take back, and he believed his parents would understand.
One month later, not only did the guard Uncle Dan and the old servant return, but a clan elder brother also ca with news about the sales of the Dew Fragrance Water—it sold out in just five days, at an average price of about four silver yuan each.
It wasn’t that Tianfeng County had a higher purchasing power than Mu Fengtang imagined, but rather that noble families and great clans were chasing after novel and practical items. So were even planning to hoard these items—as long as the price was right, they’d sell; if not, they’d simply use it themselves.
So, in just one short month, Mu Fengtang’s assets rose from a little over two hundred taels to more than eight hundred taels, even including the travel expenses.
Mu Fengtang decisively took out another six hundred taels of Gold and bought sixty thousand bottles of Dew Fragrance Water. With the remaining two hundred or so taels, he planned to treat himself a bit better—after all, isn’t it necessary to spend money in the pursuits of Lang Daii?
His clan elder brother even inquired hesitantly—Fengtang, can I invest in a share too?
Mu Fengtang clearly inford him, “Brother, you know I’m in a period of assessnt. If other brothers could invest during their assessnt period, I wouldn’t mind you taking a share. But to only invest in mine, wouldn’t that be a bit inappropriate?”
This answer was quite cutting, but in his view, it was the other party’s own fault—you want to earn money by investing, but shouldn’t there be a right ti for it?
The clan elder brother’s expression turned sowhat unpleasant; thinking to himself, now that you have this financial path, does passing the assessnt really matter that much?
A great clan has its benefits, but for ambitious mbers, true freedom is financial independence—the sky’s the limit, and one has freedom as vast as the seas for the fish to leap.
In the clan elder brother’s view, if his cousin had carved out this path, he could simply buy whatever cultivation resources he needed in the future—with the clan as a platform, you would not lack channels to purchase resources. Isn’t that much better than waiting for the clan’s allocation?
But to say this would be completely inappropriate. The clan elder brother stayed a few days on Mount Zhige and then left with Uncle Dan, guarding the rchandise.
Tianfeng County had been out of stock for a while, with the weather getting hotter and the miraculous effects of Dew Fragrance Water gradually becoming known. At least in the hos of middle-class families, many started considering whether they should buy a bottle for their households.
The sixty thousand bottles of Dew Fragrance Water brought back by Uncle Dan significantly eased the demand pressure. However, after just about ten days, forty thousand bottles were sold, leaving only twenty thousand.
At that point, the sales pace slowed down. The previously sold sixty thousand bottles could be seen as the county’s imdiate needs, along with corresponding stock requirents. It was entering a prolonged period of steady growth.
Nevertheless, the Mu Family was already preparing to proceed with the third purchase. Given Mu Fengtang’s successful establishnt of this revenue stream, the clan believed that his assessnt could already be concluded—it was secondary that he earned over a thousand taels of Gold; the key was that the source of wealth was stable.
But with the conclusion of the assessnt, the clan also considered taking back this financial route.
After analysis, Mu Family mbers arrived at a conclusion similar to Mu Fengtang’s. This business could potentially bring in an annual inco of three to five thousand taels of Gold—it would certainly be less in winter.
That amount of money was indeed significant, but for the Mu Family, it was only worth noting. The core mbers of the Mu Family numbered between twenty and thirty thousand, with a periter close to a hundred thousand. If subsidiary branches are included, the number could easily surpass two hundred thousand.
For a family of this size, the Mu Family’s annual disposable inco is around a hundred thousand taels of Gold. Three to five thousand taels of Gold is not much in comparison.
