Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Feng Shui Master!
[Name: Xu Guang]
[Universal Experience: 459]
[Current Job: 1. beggar Lv5. 2. Level 5 Elephant Envoy. 3. Martial Artist Lv8. 4. Pharmacist Lv5. 5. Feng Shui Master Lv0]
[Professional Talent (Feng Shui Master): Wind and Water Rise (Favored by Heaven and Earth, each time a Feng Shui Array is successfully deployed, the next deployment of the same type of array will be favored by Feng Shui, enhancing its power, increasing deployment speed, and reducing the need for suppression objects)]
[Current Professional Skills: 1. Feng Shui Theory Lv0 (0/10). 2. Yin-Yang Qi Observation Lv0 (0/100). 3. Qiankun Small Array Lv0 (0/100).]
[Next job transition requires Feng Shui Master Lv5 or above]
Xu Guang was greatly shocked as he looked at the introduction of the Feng Shui Master on the panel.
For his first job transition, he directly possessed two green-level skills!
Now he finally understood why it was so difficult to transition to a Feng Shui Master.
It must be because the Feng Shui inheritance Su Yan found was quite advanced, containing two green-grade talents, which slowed down his job transition progress.
It’s like studying calculus just to attend elementary school, of course, that’s difficult.
Without cheating, he could transition in two months, which estimated he truly had talent in Feng Shui.
Xu Guang was filled with emotion, never expecting that besides his talent as a beggar, he also had such a prestigious talent in Feng Shui.
He spent 310 experience points to first upgrade his job level and several skill levels.
Immediately, Xu Guang sought some incense burner ash, smudged it on his eyelids, and performed Yin-Yang Qi Observation to examine the Feng Shui in his yard.
Instantly, his eyes flipped over, the incense burner ash bizarrely disappeared, replaced by an eerie grey-white on his eyes.
The courtyard was filled with vigorous blood qi, repelling all evil!
When this courtyard was built, the Iron Armor Sect had its Feng Shui Master look over the construction plan; the overall structure was fine, but in smaller aspects...
In Xu Guang’s current view, there were a lot of minor issues.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he himself was a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist, brimming with vigor, those small issues would lead to the congregation of evil entities, not to mention that snakes, bugs, and rodents would be unavoidable.
He continued to inspect, and suddenly, as if facing the sun, his eyes hurt and tears streamed down involuntarily.
The sun was still moving.
"General Wei, stay away from me, my eyes are going blind!"
Finally, Xu Guang identified what the moving object was.
He couldn’t help but shout, wiping the incense burner ash off his eyelids.
General Wei was curious about Xu Guang’s recent eye-color-changing ability and nudged his forehead with his long tusk, prompting a repeat of the spectacle.
Xu Guang rolled his eyes and slapped at General Wei’s long tusk.
It didn’t budge.
He felt a bit dejected; he initially thought that the abundant Yang Qi in the yard was due to his Seventh-Grade realm, only to realize that his influence was not even comparable to General Wei releasing gas.
Being big is something amazing, isn’t it?
Using Qi Observation, he could discern the difference between a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist and General Wei.
The blood qi within him was at least a hundredfold.
That is the enormous gap bequeathed by the evolution over tens of millions of years, even longer by the ancestors of the species; how could one individual, through decades of cultivation, hope to stand on equal footing?
However, Xu Guang was also sure that with General Wei around, any solitary ghosts or wandering spirits would be reduced to this (thumb’s up) at a mere glance from General Wei.
Just after transitioning jobs, Xu Guang was incredibly curious about everything related to being a Feng Shui Master, shooed away General Wei, and climbed onto the roof to examine the broader Feng Shui layout.
The planning of Qingshuo County was relatively reasonable, at least so far, there weren’t any places where the Yin Sha Qi shot skywards, or maybe it’s because his Qi Observation level wasn’t high enough to see in detail.
Xu Guang wasn’t anxious, given General Wei’s Yang Qi, even a Ghost King capable of slaughtering a city would probably not consider moving against General Wei.
Since that’s the case, then let the level slowly increase.
Understanding the effects of Qi Observation, Xu Guang began deploying the Qiankun Small Array to address the minor Feng Shui issues in the courtyard.
He moved a rock glued to a bluestone slab.
[Feng Shui Master’s Log: Successfully deployed Qiankun Small Array, smoothing out the Feng Shui, extending one’s years, Feng Shui Master experience +15]
Xu Guang’s eyes widened.
He just casually tossed a stone and got this much experience?
Is this a robbery?
However, as he continued altering Feng Shui, Xu Guang found that the experience gained wasn’t as high as he imagined.
It was also because his skill level wasn’t high enough; some minor issues he couldn’t solve with minimal effort for the time being.
Xu Guang spent the entire morning altering the layout of the small courtyard, adjusting the orientation of every blade of grass, every flower, every chair, and even the direction each tree faced.
Accumulating over three hundred experience points, more than the combined experience from his other professions.
However, Feng Shui alterations in the same place only rewarded high experience the first time and could not be sustained.
The early summer sun was already somewhat hot, but after Xu Guang’s Feng Shui alterations, the courtyard felt oddly cool in the midday heat.
This was just the most basic level. Xu Guang utilized the masculine Yang Qi generated by General Wei’s movements, combined with a few Taishan Stones for suppression, forming a special magnetic field. Practicing Martial Dao within this field could faintly enhance the pace of cultivation.
Feng Shui is profound and extensive!
Xu Guang couldn’t help but marvel once more.
He realized that Qi Observation could serve as a form of detection; blood qi belongs to the Yang, living persons belong to the Yang, and the Yin is omnipresent between Heaven and Earth. The existence of Yin makes the Yang extremely apparent.
Everything in the world carries ’Yang,’ merging with the Yin in the world to form a kind of energy field. The more energy-rich a thing is, the stronger the energy field will be, having a greater impact on the Yin.
In a certain sense, a Feng Shui Master has a certain level of treasure appraisal capability.
Xu Guang took out the turtle shell he got from Wei Shuangnian, observing it with Qi Observation, and indeed found that these turtle shells also contained a magnetic field. Although the quantity wasn’t much, the quality was exceptionally high, seeming to exert a suppressive effect on the Yin to a certain degree.
He also took out the Celestial Register, shocked to discover that it had no ’Yang’ presence, neither did it have a Yin presence. But Xu Guang, as a Feng Shui Master, could clearly see this item was subtly absorbing the ’Yin’ in the air.
Could this be the reason the Celestial Register could command fierce ghosts?
Eager to experiment further, but the influence on the Celestial Register was minimal, Xu Guang ultimately halted his testing.
’I might run into ghosts, ghosts being Extreme Yin, could likely have a wonderful use in activating this Celestial Register.’
Currently, all the professions he transitioned into, except for the beggar, all held promising futures, and if it weren’t for his golden finger, he wouldn’t have the energy to cultivate each of them.
These professions, in this world where the extraordinary exists, are deemed of limitless potential.
No, the beggar profession isn’t bad either; if the professional level rises, the bonuses will allow things to improve as well.
...
Days passed, one by one.
In the blink of an eye, three days later.
Tie Kuang and Yu Shaohua returned once briefly, only making minor adjustments before leaving again.
Rooting out threats was their most important task at the moment; it was heard that those people had already caused significant damage to the Iron Armor Sect outside the city.
On the outskirts of Qingshuo County, in a long-abandoned temple, Ren Ziji stood at the forefront of the crowd, expression solemn, face emotionless, his tall figure with a saber at his waist exuded an imposing aura without anger.
To Qingshuo County, he was an ancient figure, a Seventh-Grade Expert from thirty years ago.
In the past, he acted as an Honored Guest Elder for the Wei Family, sworn brothers with the Patriarch, and after his Seventh-Grade Great Cultivation, left Qingshuo County in search of the opportunity to break through to the Sixth Grade Innate with his sworn brother’s support.
That was over twenty years ago.
Originally holding little presence in the Wei Family, the fifth Wei brother, naturally frail from birth and limited in Martial Dao accomplishments, stood behind Ren Ziji with a face full of resentment.
The Wei family’s values were quite proper; the six brothers, except for the eldest who died young, shared a deep bond.
Now, only he remained from the five brothers, and the image of his brothers’ tragic deaths before his eyes made anger rise upon Wei Ping’an’s face.
The Iron Armor Sect should all be put to death!
"Uncle Ren, when can the tunnel be completed?"
Ren Ziji’s face was cold; only when looking at Wei Ping’an did a trace of emotion show.
"Don’t rush, take it slow."
He had watched the five brothers grow up together from a young age, and because of their great bond, he had felt at ease leaving, believing the Wei family had successors. Never did he expect the Iron Armor Sect to act so ruthlessly.
Even children were not spared.
As they spoke, a strange vibration emanated from the ground, leading Ren Ziji and Wei Ping’an into it, where a gigantic creature, resembling a pangolin but as large as a rhino, with a carapace of basalt armor on its back, was constantly digging in the tunnel.
Boom!
Ren Ziji tossed out a black object, which exploded in the secret passage, causing the creature to shiver in fear, with dread filling its eyes...
