Chapter 457 Yang Jian, the Second Master!
"Ding! Unlimited random summoning of the fifth person, Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li, the Sage of Commerce, with 90 Command, 62 Strength, 102 Intelligence, 100 Politics, and 100 Special Attribute in Commerce."
Ok?
Su Ye's eyes lit up. Was the quality of this unlimited random summon really that high?
They're all top-tier big shots!
What a luxurious attribute panel!
Fan Li was also known as "Chi Yi Zi," and the Sage of Commerce was known as "Tao Zhu Gong." He was hailed as the most perfect man in the nearly five hundred years of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
The poet Li Bai wrote in "Journey to the Southern Capital" that "Tao Zhu and Wu Gu, their names are known throughout the land," and in "Eighteenth Ancient Poem" he wrote, "How can one compare to Chi Yi Zi, with his hair disheveled, rowing a small boat?"
"Five Goats" refers to Baili Xi, the Five Goat Master (who redeemed himself by selling five black ram skins, earning him the nickname "Five Goat Master"). But who are "Tao Zhu" and "Chi Yi Zi"? — Fan Li, the Sage of Commerce.
He is hailed by historians as a wise and capable minister, a military genius, a business magnate, and the progenitor of merchants, and is revered as the "God of Wealth" in Chinese folk religion.
Prime Minister and Supreme General of the Yue Kingdom.
He offered advice and assistance to King Goujian of Yue in restoring his kingdom, reviving Yue and destroying Wu. Afterwards, he went into seclusion and wrote two chapters on military strategy, "Fan Li".
His business philosophy and personal charisma were highly praised by Sima Qian in the Records of the Grand Historian, who lauded him as "loyal to the country, wise in protecting himself, wealthy through business, and famous throughout the world."
Fan Li's life can be summarized as "three rises and three retreats": his success in Yue and his subsequent retirement can be considered the first; his return to Qi and his distribution of his family wealth to become prime minister can be considered the second.
After Tao became Tao Zhugong, his second son was imprisoned in the State of Chu for murder. He once again squandered his family fortune and went into hiding. This can be considered as "three rises and three retreats".
Throughout China's five thousand years of history, there have been many wise and capable ministers, such as Sun Tzu, Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bowen. However, only Fan Li truly knew when to advance and when to retreat.
Wu Zixu never imagined that Wen Zhong would lack resolve, and both of them would be "forced to commit suicide."
When Liu Bowen realized he needed to retire, it was too late; he ended up swallowing gold and dying.
"Ding! System summoning complete. Please remove two people. The system will randomly summon one person from the remaining three."
"System, remove Gao Chong first. As for the remaining four..."
Su Ye looked at the remaining four people and was caught in a dilemma.
Among them, Li Cunxiao, one of the Thirteen Protectors, and Fan Li, the Tao Zhu Gong, who have the most luxurious panels, will definitely stay.
The remaining ones are Yang Jian and Hanba.
"System, remove Nüba!"
Su Ye stroked the white jade pendant in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then decided to keep Yang Jian behind.
If it's for no other reason than that if Yang Jian is summoned, the number of people he eventually brings to his side will definitely be more than that of Nüba.
Putting aside everything else, most of the relationships that Nüba can carry are related to her father, Xuanyuan.
If he were to summon her, and bring her along, his father would almost certainly have to come.
At that time, Su Ye didn't believe his relationship with those people would be as good as Xuan Yuan's.
They were able to snatch someone from Xuanyuan by virtue of their relationship with Nüba.
As for Xuanyuan?
That goes without saying; even a fool would know that Xuanyuan would never implant someone from his side.
Therefore, if we really want to talk about the hidden benefits of carrying people...
Yang Jian's companion character is undoubtedly much more favorable than Nüba, who snatched someone from the Yellow Emperor.
"Ding! After removing Gao Chong and Nüba, the system will summon one of the remaining three—Li Cunxiao, Yang Jian, and Fan Li—for the host. Please wait..."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained Erlang Shen Zhenjun - Yang Jian, with Command 90, Martial Prowess 108, Intelligence 85, and Politics 83."
Weapons carried: Three-pointed double-edged sword, golden bow and silver bullets, mountain-splitting axe, demon-slaying sword. Based on your reading history, we recommend the following:
Characters included: Yu Ding Zhenren, Yang Tianyou, Yao Ji, Jade Emperor (Zhang Bairen), Third Holy Mother (Yang Chan), Xiaotian Dog, Meishan Brothers (including Kang, Zhang, Yao, and Li Taiwei, Guo Shen and Zhijian Generals, etc.), Nezha, Wei Hu, Lei Zhenzi, Tu Xingsun, and Yang Ren.
The implanted identity is that of one of the Taoist protectors of the current generation, renowned alongside Chong Heqing, cultivated by the Taoist school on the Tianwu Continent. He possesses the lineage of several Taoist sects. He is a friend the host met during his travels, who, shortly after Chong Heqing's birth, also entered the world seeking a wise ruler. Hearing that the host is currently leading an army in battle, he intends to come and lend a hand.
"hiss!"
Su Ye stared at the Yang Jian panel slowly unfolding on the light screen in front of him, and a huge wave of shock surged in his heart, causing him to gasp for breath.
"I can only say, as expected of the Second Master! Starting with so many resources, he's really giving us a lot of face!"
Yu Ding Zhenren needs no introduction. He is one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the second generation of the Chan Sect, and definitely one of the top-ranked among them. He is Yang Jian's teacher, proficient in the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, and possesses profound Taoist magic. He has helped Yang Jian resolve many crises. His wisdom and cultivation are both extraordinary.
If placed on the Tianwu Continent, putting aside everything else, he would at least possess the strength of a mid-to-late stage Celestial Being.
The Jade Emperor (Zhang Bairen), the ruler of the Three Realms, is undoubtedly powerful and influential.
The Third Holy Mother (Yang Chan), the younger sister of Yang Jian, is the goddess of Mount Hua. She possesses a compassionate heart and powerful magic, and her deeds are widely circulated among the people, earning her deep respect.
Given its potential, even if it doesn't reach its peak when summoned, it will at least reach the level of a Celestial Being in the future.
And most importantly!
Unlike the others whose identities are uncertain, she is Yang Jian's sister.
Since Yang Jian has followed him, Yang Chan will naturally be no exception.
In other words, after summoning Yang Jian, a top-tier war god, you can also get Yang Chan, a celestial-level cultivator, for free.
In addition to Xiaotianquan, several Meishan brothers, a group of comrades-in-arms who depend on each other for life and death, the four Grand Marshals Kang, Zhang, Yao and Li, and the two generals Guo Shen and Zhijian, are all capable and good at fighting.
With Yang Jian's connections, Su Ye is guaranteed to be able to bring many of the people he brought along into his fold as well.
Then there were the third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect, just like Yang Jian.
Nezha needs no introduction; he's definitely a top-tier war god.
The remaining individuals, such as Wei Hu, Lei Zhenzi, Tu Xingsun, and Yang Ren, were also among the best of their generation.
"Ding! The host has been summoned four times. The balancing process will begin soon."
"Please prepare yourself, host."
Just as Su Ye was looking at Yang Jian's panel, the system notification sounded immediately.
"Ding! The number one balancer, Modu Chanyu of the Xiongnu, Command 99, Strength 98, Intelligence 92, Politics 92"

He also fought against the Mongols in the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions, seeking to restore the Xiongnu, and established Modu City and Longcheng, which, along with Tongwan City established by Helian Bobo of the Tiefu tribe, were known as the Three Cities of the Southern Xiongnu.
