My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 372: Fei Xun's Advice

Three days later, while the Qin family was having dinner in the main hall, they heard a commotion outside the mansion. Someone had come to read the imperial edict!

The second mother exclaimed, “Another imperial edict?”

The Qin family had been in decline for a long time. The last time they received an imperial decree in Jinyang City, they were terrified. Now that they had recently moved to the Imperial City, another imperial decree had arrived.

Women naturally tended to think more, and worry crept into their hearts.

Qin Jian’an put down his utensils, looked at the people at the table, and said, “When the imperial decree arrives, we cannot be careless. Everyone, come with me to receive it.”

“Okay,” Qin Feng replied.

While others might not know why this imperial decree was issued, he was well aware of it.

After leaving the Divine Marquis Army’s training ground that day, he visited the Divine Workshop. Around dusk, the old man returned from the imperial palace.

With the old man’s intervention, the gunpowder matter went smoothly. Qin Feng even heard from the old man that the emperor would reward him.

This imperial decree was probably related to that reward.

The family gathered at the entrance to receive the decree, and when Qin Feng saw the person reading the imperial decree, his expression stiffened.

It was still Fei Xun from the Grand Literature Academy, the man with eyes on his forehead!

He glanced at Qin Feng before starting to read the imperial decree.

After the decree was read, the Qin family was both surprised and delighted. The title of the head of the Qin family was elevated, jumping two ranks directly from second-ranked national general to third-ranked assistant national general!

In addition, there were countless silks, satins, gold, and silver.

Notably, since Emperor Ming ascended the throne, even though the situation with demons and ghosts in the Great Qian had not improved significantly, the Imperial Treasury had become more and more prosperous.

As a result, Emperor Ming was generous with rewards, especially during the grand New Year celebrations.

From the contents of the imperial decree, the Qin family understood that the result was due to Qin Feng’s contributions to the Great Qian, which pleased the emperor and led to the reward.

“The young master is indeed remarkable.” Everyone thought the same.

Looking at the head of the Qin family, he seemed to have no role other than squandering the family’s money.

No contrast, no harm.

After receiving the imperial decree, Fei Xun looked at Qin Feng and said, “Come with me.”

“Hmm?” Qin Feng was stunned. Could there be any more rewards?

He didn’t ask much as he followed him out of the Qin Mansion and strolled down the street.

“Do you have any clues about the Fifth Class Magnificent Virtue Realm?” Fei Xun asked.

This question surprised Qin Feng. He truthfully replied, “I’m currently exploring, I haven’t grasped the essence yet.”

Upon hearing this, Fei Xun frowned, “Medical skills and special techniques are useful, but remember not to get your priorities mixed up. If you focus too much on them, you’ll only stagnate on the path of a literary saint.”

Damn it, who do you think you are? On what grounds are you criticizing me? Qin Feng frowned and was about to retort, but Fei Xun spoke again.

“In order to enter the fifth level of the Magnificent Virtue Realm, you must follow the oath you took at the Heart Questioning Platform when you reached the eighth level of the Bright Heart Realm. Every literary saint has different aspirations, so the method to enter the fifth level is naturally different.”

Qin Feng was momentarily stunned and swallowed the words he was about to say. He realized that Fei Xun was offering him a way to enter the fifth level of the Magnificent Virtue Realm.

“Originally, both Brother Yang and I entered the fifth-level Magnificent Virtue Realm by establishing schools, teaching knowledge, and clarifying our aspirations.”

“If you are unsure about the path ahead, perhaps this method can help you.”

“Establishing schools, imparting knowledge?”

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, surprised that such a method existed.

At present, besides reading in the Listen to Rain Pavilion every day and watching the night sky, he felt quite lost. 

He believed that reaching the realm of the fifth level of Magnificent Virtue was a distant goal. However, after hearing the other person’s words, he found a new direction.

“But isn’t it a challenge to open a school and teach in the Imperial City?” Qin Feng asked.

Fei Xun replied, “It is not easy for ordinary people to establish schools. Without sufficient knowledge, teaching would lead the students astray. Therefore, those who open schools must be recognized by the Grand Literature Academy and the National University.”

Qin Feng nodded thoughtfully. 

He had heard about the National University of the Grand Literature Academy, which was like the national education management institution. 

Many royalty and powerful individuals would send their children to the National University for enlightenment. 

Although the National University belonged to the Great Literature Academy, their relationship was somewhat delicate.

In theory, the National University should obey the Grand Literature Academy, but in reality, they were more obedient to the court, or more specifically, the emperor. 

Qin Feng could understand; it was a way for the emperor to influence the Grand Literature Academy.

Fei Xun continued, “Even though you haven’t joined the Grand Literature Academy, you have the order of the Grand Literature Academy. It will be much easier for you to open a school.” 

“All you have to do is pass the test at the National University of the Grand Literature Academy and get the official document.” 

“But before that, you have to study the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly and memorize some national books of the Great Qian. Otherwise, you won’t be able to pass the National University exam.”

Qin Feng had a strange expression on his face. He hadn’t expected that he would have to take exams after his transformation. However, with the Eye Technique, scanning through a few books was just a matter of moments.

“How many volumes are there in the national books?” Qin Feng asked.

Fei Xun replied without hesitation, “One thousand seven hundred and forty-two volumes, not a small number.”

Qin Feng realized that he was too naive to think that he could finish reading the national books with just one glance. With so many volumes, it would take a long time to memorize them.

“Well, it’s not that long.” Qin Feng thought, feeling proud of having the Eye Technique.

Fei Xun looked at him and continued, “You should be a self-taught practitioner on the path of the literary sage. Even if you have read some national books in the Listen to Rain Pavilion, your knowledge is limited.”

Qin Feng nodded. Although the Listen To Rain Pavilion had numerous scrolls, the range of knowledge covered was extensive, and the national books were actually limited.

“All one thousand seven hundred and forty-two volumes of national books are collected in the library of the Great Literature Academy. With the Order, you can freely access the library to study. In the time ahead, concentrate your thoughts on cultivation. Don’t think about restaurants, medicine, or those weird and clever skills,” Fei Xun advised.

Qin Feng looked confused and asked, “Why are you helping me like this?”

Fei Xun truthfully replied, “You are the disciple that the teacher values. Even if you don’t enter the Grand Literature Academy, you are still the teacher’s disciple.”

“As your senior, I care about you, isn’t that reasonable? The words have been more or less explained, I’ll go on.”

Leaving these words behind, he proudly raised his head and walked away.

Qin Feng’s heart was in an uproar. He felt that he might have misunderstood the people from the Grand Literature Academy. Although the other party looked very arrogant, he was actually a good person.

Thinking about this, he silently bowed to the departing figure and muttered, “Thank you, Senior Fei.”

In the distance, Fei Xun’s lips curled slightly.
