Chapter 379: The Miscellaneous School

"I heard that the little friend is a Qi Refiner from the East Sea, and was once of the Daoist lineage?"

"At such an age, to have such cultivation—not simple, not simple."

Chu Nan Gong naturally didn't know what Su Fan was thinking. Looking at Su Fan, he asked with a smile. At the same time, he thought of the evaluation Moon Goddess and the others had of this child.

It was just that after seeing this person with his own eyes at this moment, he quietly raised their evaluation in his heart by a few points.

Not to mention ability, just the other party's Dao realm—placed among the younger generation of the Daoist lineage, he was definitely a leader.

He, Chu Nan Gong, was of the Yin-Yang School, that was true, but who could know that he was also a Daoist, and his status in the Daoist school was not simple. He was a disciple of Zhuangzi. Even the current Beimingzi of the Daoist Heavenly Sect had to be a generation lower than him in terms of seniority.

He had already lived for more than three hundred years.

Those in the world who could know his identity were only that Leader of the Yin-Yang School and a few old monsters of the Daoist school.

Others all thought he was just an elder of the Yin-Yang School.

He had lived a long time, and his cultivation realm was extremely high; he could be considered a veteran of the human race. Three hundred years of rise and fall, he had witnessed the rise of two or three generations of Qin emperors, and witnessed Great Qin unifying the world.

He had also seen countless geniuses.

Whether it was the Daoist school or the Yin-Yang School, there were many geniuses, but those who could compare to this child before him were very few.

It was heard that a peerless genius had appeared in the Daoist Heavenly Sect—less than thirty years old, and his cultivation had reached the peak of Profound Mastery.

In the future, he would likely surpass his master, Beimingzi.

For the Daoist school to have talents appearing in large numbers, he was still very happy. And this child before him was also of the Daoist lineage.

After all, Qi Refiners were also a branch of the Daoist school, and they were the kind of cultivators who didn't ask about worldly affairs.

Such people were not few in the Daoist school.

It was just that this child chose to enter the world, which surprised him, especially the agricultural technology created by the other party, which was even more powerful than those disciples of the Agricultural School.

At the same time, those few novels, although they were all fantasies, actually contained the principles of the Military School.

This person actually understood so much; such ability was truly not to be underestimated.

Great Qin's national luck, because of this child, had increased by a few points.

Don't underestimate these few points. Since Great Qin unified the world, in more than ten years, the national luck increased was not as much as what this child created with agricultural technology in just over half a year.

As agricultural technology was promoted throughout the world, Great Qin's national luck would continue to increase. It didn't matter if that Leader would become wary of this child.

And he also knew that for the sake of this child, the Divine Court had lost a Three Flowers general.

So for this child, he was also very curious. Who exactly was the other party's teacher? People couldn't be born knowing everything.

Even those gods born of heaven and earth, they all experienced countless years before they slowly became powerful and possessed profound knowledge.

And the inherited knowledge was orderly. Su Fan's master, although of the Daoist lineage, was not a great elder.

So Su Fan's knowledge—he was also very curious about how it came to be.

Relying on self-realization—it wasn't impossible. The various philosophers of the Pre-Qin period, although some had guidance, most relied on observing the Dao of heaven and earth to comprehend it.

If this child was also the former, that would be extraordinary.

Su Fan didn't know Chu Nan Gong's inner curiosity. At this moment, seeing Chu Nan Gong's smiling face, he didn't dare to have any negligence. Regardless, the other party was a Three Flowers great elder; he was not someone he could provoke.

Strength reaching his realm—even if Great Qin could suppress it, they wouldn't easily provoke it.

Three Flowers realm—wanting to kill someone was still very easy, unless you had Three Flowers combat power experts protecting you in the dark.

Before, Su Fan wasn't afraid because he was in Xianyang City, which was still very safe. Later, when he left Xianyang City, it was also because there were several Three Flowers experts protecting him in the dark.

Right now, he didn't know if there were still such experts protecting him by his side.

And Su Fan wasn't afraid of the Divine Court's Three Flowers deities, because these were hostile factions and it was difficult to lurk in Great Qin's territory. But someone like Chu Nan Gong was different; he himself belonged to Great Qin's side.

If the other party wanted to kill him, it would still be very easy. Even if there were experts protecting him, the other party couldn't be there every moment.

So for Chu Nan Gong, Su Fan was very polite. Regardless of whether the other party belonged to the Yin-Yang School, Su Fan also temporarily treated the former as his own.

"Nan Gong praises too much. My cultivation is still far off."

Su Fan said humbly. His current cultivation wasn't too bad, even if he couldn't catch up to Gai Nie and the others. After all, their ages were much older than his.

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang and the others were all over fifty years old. Of course, in this world, although they didn't live as long as the cultivators in the main world, most cultivators still had long lifespans.

As long as they reached Ning Shen, they could live at least three sixty-year cycles, and Profound Mastery could live for two or three hundred years.

Fifty years old was just a youth.

"Little friend, which school do you mainly cultivate? The old man observes your Daoist internal cultivation, but after entering the world, you first identify as a novelist, yet contain the thoughts of the Military School. Later you created white paper, having the craftsmanship of the Mohist school, and agricultural skills, also having the benefits of the Agricultural School. Just now, discussing Qin law with Li Si, you are also very familiar with the concepts of the Legalist school."

"Little friend, are you going to walk the path of the Hundred Schools?"

"Nan Gong praises too much. How could I have such talent? The path of the Hundred Schools—I haven't even walked one path through, how dare I speak of others."

Su Fan shook his head repeatedly. The Dao of the Hundred Schools of Thought—Su Fan was indeed involved in many. If he really had to discuss it, perhaps Lu Buwei's Miscellaneous School was the most suitable.

Lu Buwei's Miscellaneous School was to accommodate the concepts of the Hundred Schools, walk the path most suitable for oneself, the path of self-interest.

And the Miscellaneous School was actually the most suitable for officialdom. It was just that later, Dong Zhong Shu, with the help of Emperor Wu of Han, put forward the "exclusive respect for Confucianism," making the Confucian school the final winner in the officialdom of the future.

But in reality, in the dynasties of later generations, although there was the name of the Confucian school, among the hundred officials, Legalist thought and the Dao of the Military School were all involved.

The Confucian school was the most extensive, absorbing and fusing the concepts of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

If it really had to be said, the Confucian school was also the Miscellaneous School; that was also acceptable.

Those famous ministers of later generations—did they really rely only on Confucian concepts? It was fundamentally impossible. Those who could lead armies and serve as prime ministers in the Han and Tang dynasties—their Military School realm was not low.

And placed on the Earth of later generations, those people in government departments—everyone was a Miscellaneous School practitioner, because it involved a wide range.

It was just that the current Miscellaneous School, although proposed by Lu Buwei, only had him alone. Although his reputation in Great Qin was not bad, in terms of true ability, he didn't surpass others by much.

Compared to people like Shang Yang and Wu Qi who reformed and strengthened the country, they were all a bit inferior, not to mention compared to people like Guan Zhong and Jiang Shang.

And after Lu Buwei was swept away by Ying Zheng, the Miscellaneous School became even worse. ===== CHAPTER 380 =====
