Conceptual melting pot, the fusion of all realms starting from the Qin Dynasty.

Although they were quite frustrated when they received the news, Ji Wuye and Fei Cuihu still managed to get those technologies back.

"General, I must say the techniques passed down from Chen Hao are truly remarkable!" Emerald Tiger's chubby face gleamed with a shrewd smile as he laughed and said, "Those books made using papermaking and printing techniques, while not quite as good as those in Chen Hao's possession, are still rare gems."

"I imagine that once the craftsmen are skilled, the paper we produce and the books we print will be no less than those from Qingpingzhai."

"As for the general's desire to make money from these books as quickly as possible?"

Emerald Tiger stroked his chubby chin and said thoughtfully, "In the past month, many forces have exchanged the same technology with Chen Hao, so it's impossible for us at Nightfall to monopolize the market in the seven countries, but selling our products in South Korea is still no problem."

"I don't want to hear this stuff." Ji Wuye waved his hand impatiently and asked fiercely, "Tiger, just tell me if this stuff can make money?"

"Yes! Of course you can make money."

Jade Tiger quickly responded to Ji Wuye, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He carefully said to Ji Wuye, "These papers and books are intended for all the scholars in Korea. It's much easier to make money from them than from ordinary people."

"only..."

Emerald Tiger said with difficulty, "We have only just finished these products, and it will probably take quite some time before we can sell them as soon as possible, recoup our investment, and make a profit."

Ji Wuye nodded knowingly, "As long as there's a profit to be made, that's fine!"

"It's just a tiger..."

Ji Wuye said to Emerald Tiger with a sinister look, "Because the 100,000 military pay last time didn't arrive, the part of funds that Nightfall is currently lacking will have to be made up by you as soon as possible."

Emerald Tiger quickly patted his fat body and said confidently, "Don't worry, General! I've already prepared a plan, and I'll definitely make a good profit off those lowly people."

"Be careful!"

Ji Wuye toyed with the wine cup in his hand, looking at the bright red wine rippling inside, and said meaningfully, "Things are different now than before. If Tiger, that brat Han Fei gets hold of something against you, it might not be easy for me to save you."

"Yes~ Yes~ Yes~!"

While refilling Ji Wuye's cup, Jade Tiger said with a forced smile, "I will absolutely not make things difficult for you, General."

Chapter 98 The Meeting at Wushan

"Today, we have invited the most famous court jester from the State of Zhao to perform the 'Gathering at Wushan'!"

Han Fei, accompanied by Zhang Liang, Hong Lian, and Chen Hao, walked through a bustling manor. As he introduced the place to Chen Hao, he complained helplessly, "I really didn't expect that this time, when I invited everyone to come and watch the show, only you, Mr. Chen Hao, responded."

Drizzle, drizzle, drizzle!

Chen Hao held an umbrella to shield Princess Honglian from the rain, and said calmly, "Most of the people coming and going here are nobles and kings. Wouldn't Zi Nu, Nong Yu, and Yan Ling Ji be making a scene here?"

"Not everyone is like me, completely indifferent to the identities of the people coming and going here."

"Or..."

Chen Hao turned to Han Fei with a subtle expression. "Young Master Han Fei, do you think it's rather unexpected that a man like me would come to watch the show with you?"

"Hahaha~~~!"

Upon hearing this, Han Fei wore an embarrassed expression.

Any normal man in this situation would naturally expect to be accompanied by an attractive woman, rather than a male companion.

"Ninth Brother?!" Princess Honglian glared at Han Fei with a hint of displeasure, pouting her cheeks. "Mr. Chenhao rarely comes with us to watch the show, how could you have such thoughts?"

As she spoke, Princess Honglian raised her little fist and waved it around: "If Ninth Brother makes Chen Hao angry, I will definitely make you pay."

Watching Honglian bully Han Fei, Zhang Liang secretly chuckled to himself.

"I'm just a little surprised!" Han Fei quickly explained from the side, "Based on my understanding of you, Mr. Chen Hao, you don't seem like the kind of person who would like this kind of opera at all."

At this moment, Chen Hao did not answer Han Fei directly, but instead turned to Han Fei and asked a seemingly unrelated question in a serious tone: "Young Master Han Fei, do you know anything about the profession of entertainer?"

Han Fei and Zhang Liang exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of the meaning behind Chen Hao's questions.

Chen Hao didn't seem to be waiting for Han Fei's response. He continued, "Although entertainers have now fallen into a lowly profession, and may even enjoy a period of glory thousands of years later, in ancient times this profession was neither lowly nor noble. They were sacred."

“Ancient entertainers were all associated with sacrifices and were people who could communicate with the gods.”

"To please the spirit with melodious sounds is called singing; while to please the spirit with graceful movements is called dancing."

Ultimately, it's all about asking the gods to descend upon us!

"..."

Before Chen Hao could finish his sentence, Honglian asked impatiently, "God? Does this world really have gods?"

Chen Hao turned to look in the direction of Loulan and gave Honglian a mysterious smile: "There are many mysterious things in this world."

"The Chi You Sword forged by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, the Demon God Weapon crafted by Chi You, the Xuanyuan Sword of the Yellow Emperor, the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon, the Fusang Divine Tree growing on Mount Shu..."

All of this demonstrates that the world is far more complex than it appears to us.

At this moment, Han Fei thought of the Reverse Scale Sword in his hand, which housed a sword spirit with a complete consciousness, capable of appearing and protecting him when he was in danger.

This behavior seems to defy common sense and is beyond what ordinary people understand.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Honglian's red lips parted in surprise as she looked at Chen Hao. "This world has so many secrets?"

“Yes! The more you understand this world, the more you realize how insignificant you are.” Chen Hao exclaimed. “That’s why I came here today to watch this opera performance, to see how much of this tradition of entertainers is still alive.”

Chen Hao's purpose was naturally not like that.

As Chen Hao's cultivation level increased, he was able to capture some subtle mental thoughts and some concepts that he could observe at close range through the [Concept Furnace].

Chen Hao came with Han Fei this time because he wanted to see if he could gain some unexpected benefits through the opera of the court jesters.

"Mr. Chen Hao wants to see if these actors can still invoke the power of the gods?"

Han Fei frowned, his expression turning serious.

Chen Hao shook his head and said calmly, "If entertainers could still do these things, they would at least be priests of a country by now, instead of being reduced to such a wretched state."

"I just wanted to come and try it out, to see if I could comprehend some of the techniques related to invoking the gods."

"in addition!"

"Such an ancient opera, I naturally wanted to come and see it for myself and experience it properly."

Han Fei's lips twitched, and he said somewhat speechlessly, "Whatever makes you happy, Mr. Chen Hao!"

Regarding Chen Hao's first reason, Han Fei clearly did not believe that he could comprehend such a whimsical idea simply by watching a performance of opera once.

On the contrary, Han Fei, who knew Chen Hao's background, instantly understood what Chen Hao said and believed that this reason was the truth.

...

Just then, the once lively surroundings suddenly fell silent. One by one, the nobles of considerable status quieted down and respectfully bowed in the same direction.

Chen Hao, Han Fei, Zhang Liang, and Hong Lian sensed this situation and looked over with everyone else.

Soon they saw a beautiful woman with a lovely figure, wearing a pink palace dress, long cherry-red hair, and various gold ornaments on her head, walking gracefully towards them.

The beautiful woman was followed by a group of four maids. Her every move exuded aristocratic elegance, and coupled with the respect shown by those around her, it was clear that she was a person of exceptionally high status.

Upon seeing who it was, Princess Honglian immediately exclaimed, "Hu Meiren, what a vixen!"

The person who arrived was none other than Consort Hu, another favorite concubine of King Han An!

At the same time, Hu Meiren was also Madam Hu's younger sister and Nongyu's maternal aunt.

However, Chen Hao looked at the sorrow on Hu Meiren's brows and knew that although she had the title of the King of Han's favorite concubine, Hu Meiren was not having a good time in the King of Han's palace.

Soon, Han Fei saw Hu Meiren walk in, bowed slightly, and greeted her with a smile: "Hu Meiren, what a coincidence."

"It is my honor to meet the Ninth Prince." Consort Hu bowed to Han Fei with her maids behind her, then said with a charming smile, "The capital is now full of praise for your brilliant talent in solving this strange case."

Then Hu (or Zhao) beauty bypassed Han Fei and walked up to the sulking Princess Honglian: "Princess Honglian, you're getting more and more beautiful."

Then, Hu Meiren looked Princess Honglian up and down and said, "Princess, your dress is beautiful, especially the lace, which complements the hairpin in your hair perfectly."

"You have a good vision!"

Princess Honglian quickly cheered up after being praised by Consort Hu.

Then, Hu Meiren walked to Chen Hao's side and gave him a dignified bow: "This must be Mr. Chen Hao!"

"I also want to thank Mr. Chen Hao for finding my sister's daughter who had been lost for many years. Otherwise, I don't know when they would have had the chance to meet again."

Chen Hao gently helped Hu Meiren up and said with a faint smile, "It was all a coincidence!"

"I can only say that given the connection between Nongyu and Madam Hu, they would have recognized each other very quickly even without my help."

Chapter 99 Wu You - Godhood Mask

Just as Hu Meiren was about to say something more to Chen Hao, the surrounding area suddenly fell silent.

Tap tap tap tap~~~!

With a series of steady footsteps, a composed man wearing a blue coat with a white lining, looking clean and neat, with a jade-inlaid crown on his head and a large jade pendant at his waist, walked over.

The man's coat and lining were both trimmed with gold thread and featured unique patterns, exuding a sense of luxury.

His outfit alone is enough to make people guess his identity.
