"Greetings, my Lord." The four of them bowed in unison, using the etiquette of younger practitioners greeting their elders.

"My dear friends, please don't be polite." Shen Yonghe smiled and said, "You not only eliminated Zhao Jiao and his gang of evil cultivators for my Jingguo, but also helped my Shen family to gain fame and prestige. I will never forget this contribution, and Jingguo will not treat you unfairly. This is the reward you won." As he said this, he asked the waiter to bring four trays, on which was a small box. Judging from the size, Chen Xiao guessed that it was unlikely to contain spiritual stones, but only spiritual beads. Several waiters stepped forward to show the four people first, and then retreated to the back.

"Not only this box of reward money, but your deeds are also specially allowed to be posted in various cities of Jingguo for publicity." Shen Yongqing said with a smile, "Now the names of the four of you are well-known, and everyone is very curious about you. I think after today, you will receive countless banquets and be too busy to spare time, haha."

If it were a practitioner who had just ventured into the world of immortal cultivation, he would definitely feel delighted, and even this fame would be very beneficial to his development in the world of immortal cultivation in his own country. None of the four people planned to stay in Jingguo for a long time, so fame was only useful to Chen Xiao, a Feng Shui master. Chen Xiao did not like social banquets, but he could not be rude in such occasions, so he smiled and said, "I have to thank the support of the Capital City Government for this."

Shen Yonghe said at this time: "I heard from my son Yanxing that he is now learning Feng Shui from Chen Xiaoyou. I am very grateful that Chen Xiaoyou did not despise my son and taught him this art. I wonder if Chen Xiaoyou is willing to stay in the palace and take charge of teaching Feng Shui?"

Chen Xiao was stunned at first, then he declined. He said, "I am a junior with limited knowledge and I am afraid that I cannot take on this important task. I usually just communicate with Yan Xing and learn together."

Shen Yonghe took Chen Xiao's humble words as the truth. Chen Xiao's current cultivation level was too low, only at the Body Refining Stage. Shen Yanxing was a prince after all, and even if he didn't want to become his disciple, the person who would teach him the art would have to be at least at the Foundation Building Stage. Shen Yonghe nodded, "I see. But since I'm teaching, I still have to pay the tribute."

Since Shen Yonghe felt that Chen Xiao's identity and cultivation level were not qualified to be Shen Yanxing's numerology teacher, it was already very respectful for him to treat Chen Xiao as a teacher and give him a salary.

Xi Yunting was the one who truly knew Chen Xiao's talent. Seeing that his modesty was taken as strength, he felt very sorry for Xiao. However, Chen Xiao and Shen Yanxing agreed that they would wait until later to officially accept him as a disciple, and now they only maintained a superficial teacher-student relationship. This made it impossible for him to go against Chen Xiao's wishes and clear his name.

Shen Yanxing truly regarded Chen Xiao as his master, and he was secretly angry at his father's slow treatment. He said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Father, I want to invite the teacher and his companions to my residence."

Shen Yonghe was very tolerant of his son, who had no spiritual talent and was destined to die young, as long as he did not do anything that would harm the interests of the Shen family.

At this moment, he said gently: "Then Yan Xing will do his best to be a good host and take you to visit various places in the palace. Just remember that there will be a dinner in the evening, so don't play around and miss the time."

After leaving Shen Yonghe, Shen Yanxing apologized to Chen Xiao angrily while walking on the road: "My father didn't know the situation and treated the teacher badly. Please don't be angry."

In the world of cultivating immortals, there is a big difference between a master and his apprentice and a teacher and his students. A master and his apprentice are truly apprentices, and the status of the master is sometimes higher than that of the father. A master and his students only teach one thing, and although they are equally respected, they are much worse than the former. The biggest difference is that the master has to support the disciple, while the teacher has to collect tuition from the disciple.

Chen Xiao was not angry. Instead, he comforted Shen Yanxing and said, "Your father has never been slow to treat you. I am not just being polite. My current knowledge is not enough to teach you."

Shen Yanxing was very smart, and his foundation was much better than Chen Xiao's when he first learned from Fang Gu. He was almost like a sponge, quickly absorbing and studying the book "New Feng Shui Introduction" that Chen Xiao gave him. If Chen Xiao had not been a Feng Shui master in his previous life, and had a golden finger like a compass, he would really be just a lucky guy who got the inheritance of an ancient immortal, and now Shen Yanxing would have hollowed out his foundation.

Shen Yanxing did not accept Chen Xiao's comfort, because he had a deeper understanding of Chen Xiao than when he first met him, and knew the truth. Feng Shui was too profound and mysterious, and Chen Xiao's understanding of it was something Shen Yanxing could never fully understand in his entire life. Shen Yanxing said seriously: "No matter what, in my heart you are my master."

In the palace, people judged one's status by how far the palace was from the center. Shen Yanxing lived in a palace of considerable size, which was located neither too far nor too close to Shen Yonghe. So even though following Shen Yanxing had no future, the servants in the palace still served him wholeheartedly.

Shen Yanxing had been reading alone for a while, and had accumulated a lot of questions in his mind, so he took the opportunity to ask for advice. Chen Xiao was very patient with this first disciple, and not only did he explain in detail, but he also used practical examples to illustrate his ideas. He had read too many ancient books on Feng Shui in his previous life, and had seen almost all kinds of cases. However, these cases could not clearly state their origins, so Chen Xiao used fake examples.

Shen Yanxing was fascinated by what he heard, and suddenly his mind was enlightened. Many of the problems he encountered were easily solved by Chen Xiao. Even the examples that the other party casually gave made him understand more deeply.

Shen Yanxing's admiration for Chen Xiao reached a new height. The two of them were happy to learn and teach. The others were confused after listening for a while, and even Xi Yunting found it difficult to understand.

In the evening, the group arrived at the banquet. The scale and grandeur of this banquet were far from the one in Hanshan City. After all, it was the establishment of a new dynasty, and Shen Yonghe did not allow extravagance. The banquet was very simple, and the most important thing was to provide an occasion for the noble families to contact the royal family, and the purpose was achieved.

At the banquet, Shen Yanxing's brothers who were granted the title of princes were surrounded by people. Some of these people were from newly emerging families, while others were from old families with deep roots.

Chen Xiao and his companions were basically half-invisible this time. If it weren't for Shen Yanxing's company, no one would have noticed them. Instead, they were happy and comfortable, eating a lot of Jingguo's special dishes, and even some fruits that were specially stored from summer and autumn to this time.

From time to time, a group of people gathered around Shen Yanxing's brotherhood, greeting Shen Yanxing and making friends with Chen Xiao and others. Every once in a while, Chen Xiao had to stand up and talk with others, which made him very impatient. It was obvious that these princes were very curious about them, but after trying to recruit them and finding that there was no chance, they gave up.

Chen Xiao also deeply felt what Shen Yanxing said at the beginning, that if you can't practice, you will have no status. These people only care about Shen Yanxing in a general way, and no one knows his inner thoughts. No wonder Shen Yanxing once felt depressed, depressed and disappointed.

After the celebration banquet, the royal family held a small banquet, inviting both emerging and old families, and even some large families with a long history to be invited separately. Shen Yonghe did not leave Shen Yanxing behind, and grabbed him to accompany the other brothers.

Chen Xiao and his friends only stayed for two or three days before moving out of the inn. They found a large inn to stay in. Although the environment was not as high-end as the inn, it was more comfortable.

Xi Yunting fulfilled his promise and took Chen Xiao on a tour of the capital. Tang Ru's injury had not healed yet, so he did not plan to go out. Tong Nuonuo, on the other hand, could not sit still and followed Chen Xiao firmly. Xi Yunting had no choice but to bring this tail along.

Chen Xiao's purpose was simple, just to see the exotic architecture and folk customs, as well as the various special products and foods. Xi Yunting was very obedient to him, and he just wandered around, shopped, and ate along the way.

Tong Nuonuo's appetite was not as big as his. After satisfying his appetite, his enthusiasm was not so high. After walking down another street, Tong Nuonuo could not help but say, "Let's go to another place to have a look? The shops and stalls here are all the same."

Chen Xiao was still able to listen to his friend's opinions, so he asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Tong Nuonuo thought for a moment and said, "I heard from an official at the inn that there is a store in the capital that specializes in immortality supplies and has been holding auctions in recent days. The items being auctioned there are actually collections from confiscated aristocratic families, and there are quite a few good things. Why don't we go over there and take a look?"

Chen Xiao thought this was a good idea. He had never participated in an auction of cultivation supplies before, so he immediately wanted to join in the fun.

The three of them went to the inn to inquire about the location, and then went straight to the shop. This shop was hidden in the city, on a very busy street. The two adjacent shops were a gold building and a silk shop, both of which were very large. The name of the shop was very common, it was called Jubaozhai. However, passers-by coming and going could not realize that there was something mysterious here.

As soon as Chen Xiao came in, he felt very familiar and friendly. Looking around, the display racks were filled with antiques. The first floor was not just for disguise, but a serious business, facing ordinary people in the capital. The second floor was for officials and wealthy people, where they could come into contact with antique treasures, and the daily transaction volume here was staggering. The third floor was their goal, which was specially for receiving practitioners. But it was not easy to get up there. The first level blocked all mortals from entering by showing their name cards.

Not everyone needs to have a cultivator certificate, as long as there is a guide, they can step onto the third floor. Chen Xiao's cultivation is a bit low, and Xi Yunting's status is a bit high, so they finally use Tong Nuonuo's certificate to pass.

Chen Xiao went upstairs with the waitress and entered a private room. After they sat down, the waitress served them tea, cakes and three booklets for them to read. The waitress did not stay in the private room and left after serving them.

Chen Xiao flipped open the booklet and found the details of the items to be auctioned today. He couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect there is such a place in the capital, where I can see so many immortal cultivation related supplies at one time. Not only are there various refining tools and alchemy materials, but also ready-made magic tools and elixirs."

Chen Xiao only mentioned refining equipment and alchemy, which made Tong Nuonuo, a mechanical engineer, a little unhappy. He said, "Why didn't Chen Xiao come to such a place when he was in Dai Country before?"

Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "No. I think there should be similar specialized stores in the royal city of Dai Kingdom, but I was just an ordinary person at that time and had no right to contact them."
