Jia Jin Sheng

Biography

The merchant who became a murder case

Jia Jin Sheng enters Gu Yue village as an aggressive young merchant, attempting to seize a Mudskin Toad and using deceptive sales tactics. Fang Yuan first considers him a channel to Jia Fu and wider trade, but instead kills him over Flower Wine Monk’s inheritance. His death becomes the central case that Tie Ruo Nan later reconstructs, linking the Liquor Worm, the inheritance, and Fang Yuan’s motive. (Chapters 42, 43, 55, 109, 178, 236)

No exceptional combat method is established; his reliance on Jia clan protection and Jia Fu’s status is precisely why his death creates consequences far beyond his personal cultivation.
