A Feng Shui Master’s Guide to Cultivation

Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.

When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...

Chapter 117: Urging Officials and Dignitaries

During these days, in addition to figuring out the distribution of forces in Jincheng, Chen Xiao also hired a lot of people to spread the news. These people ranged from students to high-level monks. Everyone did not do much, just talking about one thing when chatting with others. That is, a Feng Shui master came to Jincheng. What kind of skills did this Feng Shui master have? He was once a guest of the Lord of Hanshan City and solved a big problem for him with Feng Shui.

There was no need to say much to the hired people. As long as they told different people three times, they could get a very good reward. They did not have as many opportunities to make money as places with abundant resources like Hanshan City, so they were naturally happy to do this seemingly harmless thing.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, just listening to it as a fun story. But when it was spread to the practitioners in Jincheng by high-level cultivators, it was like a news event. Of course, they knew where Hanshan City was. It was the center that all the practitioners in the entire Tianjing yearned for. Not everyone among them had the opportunity to go there, and not everyone who went there had the ability to take root there.

Through this disguised publicity, almost everyone has heard of the newly established auxiliary main position of Feng Shui master, and Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting can then appear in public.

Chen Xiao was also short on time and couldn't set up a feng shui plan like before, using the point to spread the word of mouth from the bottom up. That's why he changed his strategy and hired a group of netizens to warm up and promote. There is only one disadvantage to doing this, it can't stand scrutiny and is easy to be seen through. Fortunately, Chen Xiao was not exaggerated or overly sought after. True gold is not afraid of fire, and Chen Xiao himself is very capable.

But even so, the ability of this Feng Shui master is amazing. Things like avoiding misfortune, warding off evil, having children, and getting married early are fine, but the ability to promote officialdom and bury in the year of the tiger and prosper in the year of the rabbit is so magical that it makes people look sideways. And these two points are exactly what Chen Xiao deliberately emphasized to let the navy explain thoroughly, and they are exactly what the people in Jincheng want to know the most.

As the name suggests, "Cui Guan Xian Gui" means that after the Feng Shui master's advice, the person's position and status are promoted. If people can still understand this point, then "buried in the year of Yin and prospering in the year of Mao" is incredible. Can it really make people be buried at three or five in the morning and get rich at seven or nine in the morning? That's probably not numerology, but superstition!

Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting sat in the best restaurant in Jincheng. They did not choose a private room, but set up a screen on the second floor of the lobby to find peace in the midst of noise. This not only blocked other people's sight, but also allowed them to hear their curious discussion about whether the Yin burial and Mao emanation technique could be done.

Xi Yunting heard it more clearly, and he had the same confusion in his heart. However, due to his personality, even if he had questions, Xiaodi would not take the initiative to bring them up if it did not cause any trouble. As the eldest brother, he was considerate and never asked.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao knew him well. Seeing him tilt his head slightly to listen, then reveal a thoughtful expression, and then return to calmness after a moment, he could roughly guess what was going on in his mind. Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Brother, do you have the same doubts?"

Since the topic was brought up, Xi Yunting nodded and said, "Brother Xiao, can you help me solve my doubts about how to achieve a happy ending in early burial."

Chen Xiao smiled, "I'm happy to serve you, big brother." Then he relaxed his expression and looked more serious, "I think big brother has understood that the earth's energy can bless a person's luck. The principle of "burying in the year of tiger and prospering in the year of rabbit" is mainly due to the cause and effect relationship between the buried person and his children and descendants. The deceased buried in the Feng Shui treasure position carries the luck, and then through this cause and effect between the two, it is transferred to the descendants."

After hearing this, Xi Yunting could understand it immediately. The mystery of cause and effect is something that countless practitioners have been trying to comprehend for thousands of years but have not been able to fully understand.

Xi Yunting even thought of something else very quickly: "The causal bond between master and disciple is no less than blood bond. In this case, wouldn't the saying that the burial of the tiger and the birth of the tiger be fulfilled in the master's sect?"

Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this aspect. However, this world is very different from the world in his previous life. Sometimes the master is even more important than the father. After all, the time a master and apprentice spend together is much longer than the time they spend together with their parents. The importance of the inheritance of the master's school is even greater than that of the family. In the previous life, the clan was the basis of the family, but now the master's school is the basis of the family.

Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "In a way, in terms of karma, the relationship between a master and his disciple is closer than that between an adoptive father and his son. Since an adoptive father and his son can inherit the incense, it should also be true between a master and his disciple. However, what I learned before did not mention this part, so I am not sure."

Xi Yunting nodded confidently and said, "I remember Chen Xiao said that disciples can also be counted as people. Since Feng Shui can make the family and the immortal sect prosperous, by analogy, the Yin Zang Mao Zhi Yang of the Yin Zang can also be used in the master's sect."

Xi Yunting's thoughts moved too fast. Chen Xiao was usually trapped in the thinking of his previous life, but he would develop new angles and content from a completely different direction, forcing Chen Xiao to admire his talent again and again. This time was no exception. After listening to Xi Yunting's words, Chen Xiao's breathing quickened a little. He was so excited that he couldn't sit still. He had the urge to run a few laps in an open area.

If it is true as Xi Yunting judged, Feng Shui has great potential in this world! Even though it is still a side door and cannot directly help cultivation, no one can ignore its role. The power maintained by the aristocratic families only occupies a small part, and the sects are still the main force in the world of cultivation.

Although Chen Xiao's face was a little red from excitement, he didn't want to lose his composure in front of Xi Yunting. He tried hard to drink the tea on the table and suppress his emotions when suddenly someone turned around the screen and came to their table.

There were two people, one in front and one behind. The one in front was guiding, half-bending humbly. The one behind was holding his head high, not arrogantly, but with his chin facing people. The one in front seemed to be a servant, while the one behind was dressed and looked like a manager of some power.

The servant said to the man who looked like a manager, "Master, this is the man."

The man called the supervisor looked at Chen Xiao with a scrutinizing gaze, and then looked at Xi Yunting who remained silent. He said slowly, "Are you the Feng Shui master who has been making a lot of noise recently?"

The tone and look he used when talking to Chen Xiao were very arrogant. Seeing his disrespectful attitude towards Xiaodi, Xi Yunting was very displeased. He no longer restrained himself, and let go of his momentum, staring sharply at the supervisor's face.

This supervisor was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and could not withstand the might of the Golden Core stage. He immediately broke out in sweat and his knees went weak. He was shocked and annoyed, and had completely underestimated these two people.

The supervisor was very flexible and immediately bowed to apologize: "My two masters, I was blind and did not recognize the great man. I am sorry for the offense. I hope you will be magnanimous and do not hold my mistake to account."

Xi Yunting was unhappy, so Chen Xiao naturally stood on the side of his elder brother. He did not show any favor to the supervisor, and said coldly, "Fellow Taoist, please stand up. I am the Feng Shui master you mentioned. I wonder what brings you here?"

The supervisor had heard the rumor before and was also half-believing and half-doubting. He had thought of setting a test first, letting this person try it, and if it worked, he would ask him about the real matter. Now that he saw that there was a Jindan-stage immortal master beside him, the picky thoughts he had before suddenly disappeared, and he dared not think about it anymore.

He directly stated his ultimate goal and said, "My master is in trouble recently and would like to ask this immortal master to help him resolve it."

Seeing that it was a customer, Chen Xiao finally showed his professional ethics and became less cold. He softened his tone and said, "What is the problem with your master? How can I help?"

The supervisor gritted his teeth and decided to ask the Feng Shui master to take a look, even if it meant not offending the Jindan-stage master in front of him. He whispered, "It's inconvenient to talk here. Please follow me to another place, Masters."

Chen Xiao looked at Xi Yunting and asked for his opinion. Xi Yunting certainly knew why Chen Xiao had been working so hard during this period, so he would not object at the critical moment. He was already very satisfied that Xiaodi was willing to take his opinion as a leisurely matter.

The supervisor sent the guide away and invited Chen Xiao and the others to the private room on the third floor. The private room here had good soundproofing, and there was a Jindan-stage practitioner among them, so if someone approached and eavesdropped, they would be discovered immediately. So the supervisor didn't hide it and told everything.

The supervisor's master's family is named Hu, and they are the new city lord's family. This time their family was lucky and stood on the right side when the dynasty changed. They successfully followed the new king to build meritorious careers. After conquering Jincheng, they were granted the title of city lord here. The supervisor's master is not the city lord, but one of the city lord's sons. The old city lord is highly valued by the new king. The new king wants to entrust him with important tasks, so the old city lord gave up the position of city lord and planned to go to the royal city to serve the new king.

The old city lord wanted to be promoted, and the problem arose. He was young and married early, and had three sons and two daughters. In the eyes of the old city lord, each of these sons was outstanding, which made him feel embarrassed for a while, not knowing which one to give the position of city lord to.

The master of the supervisor is the youngest and the last in the ranking. Logically speaking, the successor to the city lord should be either the oldest or the most capable one, so it is impossible for him to take the position.

However, the conditions for selecting a successor in aristocratic families are not so rigid, and they also depend on talent and cultivation. Since they are choosing to be the city lord, then of course the priority is to have a high cultivation and a stable position.

Although the eldest son is old, he is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Once he is in seclusion, it is unknown when he will come out. This kind of person who will delay the stability of the situation must not be kept. The second son is mature and practical, but his talent is not as good as the other two, and his cultivation may not be suppressed. The youngest son has the best spiritual roots among the three. The old city lord is partial to him, and thinks that letting him become the city lord will delay his cultivation. So he has been unable to make a decision.

The old city lord's dilemma made his three sons very anxious.
