According to Jongui, the foremost duty of a merchant is to pursue business interests that follow the virtuous path and enriches the local economy, and furthermore to make a positive contribution to the country and to the entire world. However, Munyak corrects him saying that the true duty of a merchant is to make money. "A merchant pursues profit over all else, sometimes by even breaking the law and the virtuous path to an extent that wouldn't be discovered. If you wish to follow the virtuous path, do so with the money that you've earned. In other words, we can only help others if we make money. There is no good or evil in the money that a merchant makes. There is only efficiency."

> A shrewd merchant doesn't simply rely on certainties to make an investment. Instead, we need to build a sense of certainty. I'm not saying we should wait for Mount Hua to grow on its own. I will make sure that Mount Hua blossoms again.

Munyak has a businessman's instinct, which allows him to find opportunities that others cannot see since it is undervalued and investing in it early on. Whether that's a martial arts sect or another trading company. This is what enabled him to grow Eunha into the greatest trading company in Shaanxi. Munyak himself does not attribute his success to pure luck, but rather to being a good judge and discerner of character. He believes there are limits to luck, and that it's nothing to be bitter or resentful about. He views partnerships as being in the same boat: Although the boat is merely a means to an end for the merchant, that they can board and alight as they please, a boat can travel faster with two rowers than one. Cheongmyeong described him as a devious old coot, as merchants never do anything for free.

## Background

When he first appeared, he was suffering from an unknown ailment that caused his health to deteriorate daily. His son, Jongui, sent out messages far and wide in hopes of somebody being able to identify the illness. However his search came up generally fruitless, as even the finest physicians in the land could not heal him. Jong Rigok offered to perform a Taoist ritual, which Ki Mokseung tried to pressure his son into. One of the last people Jongui contacted was Mount Hua.

Before getting sick, he hadn't traveled to the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range and he hadn't been ambushed for the past five years. He has many assistants, servants and attendants. Cheongmyeong deduces that someone with limited skill in demonic qi routinely injected their qi into him. At first the effects would have been unnoticeable, but it built up and accumulated over time. During treatment, the demonic qi almost imploded his head, but Cheongmyeong absorbed it into himself and completely dispelled it. Upon recovery, he even claims he feels even better than before he fell ill, explaining that it feels astonishingly spry and light as if he's become 10 years younger.

After his recovery, he meets Cheongmyeong and recognizes his potential, so he decides to invest in Mount Hua. As such, he ordered the company to cut down on their business deals with Zhongnan.
