Chapter 514 Purple Language Fruit
"A divine masterpiece!"
These words, almost like a thunderclap, suddenly resounded here, and everyone looked at Ye Ru in shock.
Under the gaze of these eyes, everyone's heart pounded, and a burning desire ignited in their eyes.
This is simply unbelievable. Who would have thought that a divine book would appear in the hands of a mere scholar?
"Divine-grade Book Heart. I was wondering before why Ye Ru possessed such powerful healing abilities, and why his talent seemed to never run dry. Now I know that all of this is because Ye Ru possesses a Divine-grade Book Heart."
Their faces were filled with shock, and even Xie Ming and the others found it unbelievable.
"We misjudged them. They actually have a divine-grade book heart. No wonder they were able to win first place in this scholar's literary competition. This first place is definitely worth winning."
With a sigh, a solemn expression appeared on Mr. Kong's face.
"I have seen records of Yunshui Chanxin before. Although it is circulated in the Confucian and Taoist continent, it is a Buddhist treasure. Generally speaking, the functions of Yunshui Chanxin are much stronger and more practical than other divine book hearts. The most fundamental reason is its ability to continuously generate talent and its immortality."
"As long as the host is not reduced to ashes, it can heal the host's injuries, which is the most terrifying thing."
Mr. Meng took a deep breath and quickly recovered from his shock.
"A divine book of the heart..."
Kong Ling was equally shocked, and then murmured.
"The Divine Book Heart is ultimately just an external thing. If you don't work hard, even if you get a lot of resources, it will be a waste."
Lin Ru snorted coldly and said.
Now he understands why Ye Ru was sought after by all three families; this one person actually possesses elements of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
Because they, as Confucians, could only observe Confucianism itself, and could not discover the things of the other two schools, but now he understood.
"Is that so? Ye Ru, let me ask you, without the Zen Mind of Clouds and Water, how great would your achievements be now?"
Xuan Tian smiled slightly, looked at Ye Ru, and said.
"Not really. If it weren't for my Zen-like mindset, I probably would have died many times over."
Ye Ru answered truthfully. What he said was true. If he didn't have the Zen mind of clouds and water, he probably wouldn't be standing here like this now.
"look."
Xuan Tian shrugged, seemingly showing off to Lin Rudao.
"Alright, I won't argue with you about that. What we need to consider now is which lineage Ye Ru will choose."
Lin Ru pursed his lips and spoke again.
"Now reveal your choice: Taoism, Buddhism, or Confucianism."
Seeing this, Ye Ru pondered for a moment. In the Confucian and Taoist continent, Confucianism and Taoism are the most important, followed by Taoism, and then Buddhism.
Moreover, joining the Confucian school would elevate his learning to a higher level, which would undoubtedly be of great benefit to him and to the Yanhuang Kingdom.
However, he also carried the knowledge of the other two families. Although he had figured it out or found it himself, he still owed them a favor.
This favor is not easy to repay.
"So, have you made your choice?"
Seeing Ye Ru's furrowed brows, Lin Ru urged him on.
He didn't know what the higher-ups were thinking, specifically naming Ye Ru and saying that failure to complete the task would result in punishment.
"How about this: if you join our Confucian school, we will lend you a genuine classic text of the sages to read for free, how about that?"
However, Ye Ru did not reply for a long time, which made Lin Ru frown slightly. Then he gritted his teeth and spoke.
These words sent a chill down Xie Ming's spine, and they couldn't help but look at Ye Ru with envy.
Such treatment is something that even a great Confucian scholar would never be able to receive.
I never expected they would pay such a high price to compete for Ye Ru.
"What's so good about Ye Ru?"
Everyone was somewhat devastated.
When Daozang and Xuantian saw that Lin Ru had actually made such a grand gesture, they both opened their mouths, seemingly also angry at Lin Ru for being so shameless.
“We have three thousand Taoist schools, so you can choose whichever you like, and we will let you enter the blessed lands to learn about the deeds of the ancient sages.”
His expression shifted between light and dark, but Daozang finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
"You can choose any Buddhist scriptures from my school, and I will also teach you a Buddhist skill!"
Xuan Tian took a deep breath and said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru shook his head. It's not that having more things is better, but rather that what suits you best is the best. In this Confucian-Taoist Continent, although he didn't know how powerful Taoism and Buddhism were, he knew that Confucianism was the dominant ideology.
"Student Ye Ru thanks the Taoist and Buddhist semi-saints for their kindness. It is a pity that I cannot choose between the two, because I am a Yanhuang citizen and a person of the Confucian and Taoist continent, and naturally I must follow the path of Confucianism and Taoism."
These words made Xuan Tian and Dao Zang's expressions darken; they hadn't expected that this still couldn't tempt Ye Ru.
If anyone else were here, they would have headed straight for those two families without saying a word.
However, at this moment, Ye Ru continued:
"However, I possess Taoist and Buddhist teachings, so if either of them ever asks for my help in the future, I, Ye Ru, will gladly risk my life!"
These words made Xuan Tian and Dao Zang feel a little better, and then they smiled at Ye Ru:
"Since you have chosen Confucianism, we will not force you to. We wish you can become a sage and teacher like the three sages as soon as possible."
This evaluation made everyone present shudder. This was the evaluation of a half-saint. Ye Ru was able to become the Supreme Sage Teacher!
That means that perhaps one day, a fourth Sage Master will appear on the entire Confucian and Taoist continent!
"Thank you, my Lords."
Ye Ru nodded, then looked at Lin Ru, who also nodded:
"In that case, I'll grant you three months to settle everything in this Confucian and Daoist Continent. Then I'll come to pick you up."
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Ru parted his lips slightly and spoke to Ye Ru in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"However, even though you have entered the Mountain of Saints, I will still not concern myself with your mortal life. If you are killed at this time, we will have no objection and will not avenge you. Therefore, you must not have any illusions."
Afterwards, the three left again, leaving only Ye Ru and the others, as well as the stunned Xie Ming and his group.
They all knew that Ye Ru had now been chosen as a member of the Holy Mountain, which meant that the Yanhuang Kingdom would rise in the rankings of the ten kingdoms by at least three.
Their state of Jin, though of average standing, was also in a precarious situation.
"Truly, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and blessing may be a harbinger of misfortune."
Mr. Kong sighed, then turned to look at Kong Ling, and finally said:
"Let's go. The competition is over. After we receive our rewards and recover from our injuries, we'll prepare to head to the Holy Road."
"This sacred road is not the same sacred road that was widely talked about in the Yanhuang Kingdom before. There are real dangers in it."
Upon hearing this, Kong Ling nodded solemnly, naturally aware of the dangers posed by the Holy Path.
"Alright, the competition is over now. Ye Ru, come with me to collect your rewards."
Xie Ming pondered for a moment, then spoke to Ye Ru, who nodded and said:
"Okay, thank you very much, sir."
With the conclusion of this literary gathering, Ye Ru's reputation soared almost instantly, and the entire Jin Kingdom came to know his name.
Han Fengxian, who lived in the Han family, was filled with mixed feelings after learning that Ye Ru had won the literary competition and escaped from the hands of the head of the Shi family, and even entered the Zhong Sheng Mountain.
After all, he had personally called Ye Ru a good-for-nothing and had severely humiliated him.
Now he felt how terrifying Ye Ru was, and Ye Ru had once said that once he became a Juren (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations), he would fight against the scholars of Jin.
It seems this matter is not far off.
"This is your reward."
Xie Ming looked at the five sacred pages and other literary treasures, and said to Ye Ru with a smile.
"Is this... a Purple Language Fruit?"
Looking at one of the purple fruits, Ye Ru couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yes, they do have some good taste."
Xie Ming nodded.
Upon hearing the confirmation, Ye Ru took a deep breath, a burning glint in his eyes.
