Jiang Shang was truly indignant.

If he could not become an official, did that mean he could not even make a fortune?

He was a Qi Refiner from the Kunlun Mountains!!

He was a top student who had returned from studying under the Chan Sect. How could he fail to make his way in a place like the Human Realm?

But who would have thought?

The days that followed became the darkest chapter of Jiang Shang's life.

When he failed to sell glass cups, he set up a fortune-telling stall, only to be reported for lacking a divination license.

Unwilling to give up, Jiang Shang tried treating illnesses. His practice had just begun to pick up when a jealous competitor reported him for practicing medicine without a license, forcing him to shut down for rectification.

If the officials had not taken his age into account, and if he had not paid a hefty fine,

they would not even have let him go.

With no other choice, Jiang Shang turned to assessing feng shui for homes, ancestral estates, and grave relocations. To his surprise, there was little market in Chaoge for what he had learned in the Kunlun Mountains.

The government did not encourage any of it.

It even cracked down hard on people who used graves as an excuse to claim vast tracts of land and harm the nation's interests!

The crackdown at the time

nearly landed Jiang Shang in jail again.

The one time he did get a client, the government had hired someone to assess its feng shui. The contract had passed through who knew how many hands before reaching him.

When he arrived at the government office, he found a Pixiu standing guard over it.

What need did the place have for his feng shui advice?
