This morning, Chen Xu followed Wu Zhengze to the County School to register his name.
During the time, he also inquired with Wu Zhengze about Confucian cultivation. Wu Zhengze had been a Scholar since the third year of Yonghui and, for some unknown reason, never proceeded to take the Advanced Scholar exam. Instead, he came to Jichuan County early last year to become an eighth-grade County School Instructor.
Wu Zhengze had a serious and aloof temperament, often not casually engaging in close exchanges with students.
But when questioned by Chen Xu, he did not refuse.
Wu Zhengze pondered slightly for a moment and said, "Scholars cultivate largely relying on literary fame and literary fortune. The greater the fame, the faster the Qi cultivation; the stronger the literary fortune, the stronger the battle capability.
However, most scholars actually have no chance to fight. Ordinary monsters and ghosts, upon seeing us with honors, naturally avoid us and won't provoke us.
