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 162 The Water Dragon Rises

The water system projection in front of him seemed to be divided into two layers, upper and lower. Chen Xiao knew that the upper layer was the shallow surface water, and the water in the second layer was the pressurized water layer.

Although Sanshuishangren did not understand geological science, his long years and his special magics of earth and water allowed him to clearly point out the problem. He raised his finger and pointed at two places, saying, "The layer of soil that separates the upper and lower water layers has deformed, so it blocks the water from flowing to the waters below the capital."

Master Sanshui made a gesture with his hands, and the upper layer representing the water seeping from the ground flowed downwards, bypassing the two places he had blocked. The water layer below, which could not get enough water, could not keep up with the replenishment and became thinner day by day.

The projection created by this spell was much more vivid than what Chen Xiao said. Shen Yonghe and Shen Yongqing were standing aside, both with solemn expressions.

Chen Xiao asked Master Sanshui: "Can Master's magic be so profound?"

Master Sanshui smiled, stroked his white beard, nodded and said, "Those in the Fusion Stage can move mountains and fill the sea, so this level is no problem." The expressions of the Shen Yonghe brothers immediately relaxed, "As long as these two blocked areas are cleared, the water layer will naturally return to its original position after a period of time. Of course, with my help, there is no need to wait any longer, and the water can be diverted to fill it up."

Chen Xiao bowed his waist and said, "Master, you have great magical powers and profound cultivation. I admire you." He took the opportunity to glance at Shen Yonghe. Shen Yonghe seemed to have just thought of something and asked Master Sanshui for help, "Master, I have something to ask of you. It's about the water veins. My Shen royal family wants to make some small adjustments."

Master Sanshui looked at him in surprise and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. This is what you asked me to do. I can do it according to your request. I just don't know why."

Shen Yonghe paused, and Chen Xiao said, "Please allow me to explain it briefly." Sanshui Shanren nodded, and Chen Xiao continued, "I want to take the opportunity of regulating the water veins to make the canal and the city form a Feng Shui situation."

Master Sanshui had a general understanding of Feng Shui through the introduction of the Shen royal family. He knew that Feng Shui Bureau was similar to a magic array, and Bureau within Bureau meant array within array. Master Sanshui raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Xiao with a little more solemnity. Knowing how to set up an array is nothing, many people in the world of immortal cultivation are proficient in it, but it is rare to master such a profound skill as array within array. It is not a simple nesting together, but it requires a balance of spiritual energy, mutual complementation, and even superposition of effects. Only a master-level immortal cultivator can do it.

Chen Xiao was able to set up a formation within a formation at such a young age, which immediately made Master Sanshui look at him with a higher opinion. He pinched his beard and nodded: "Well, I agree. I want to see how mysterious this Feng Shui arrangement is."

Brother Shen Yonghe and Chen Xiao were very happy and bowed to Master Sanshui: "Thank you, Master."

If Sanshuishangren was willing to cooperate, it would make Chen Xiao's next task much easier. He pointed to the blue line representing the canal outside the city and said, "Please ask Sanshuishangren to lead water from the canal into the ground. Then follow this water vein and merge it into this place below the capital." The end point Chen Xiao pointed to happened to correspond to the newly built block in the north of the city.

Master Sanshui said, "It is not difficult to do this, but can you explain to me the reason behind it?"

Chen Xiao said, "Of course you can." He raised his hand and traced the somewhat winding waterway along the canal in the air. "This is called diverting water to replenish the foundation, and replenishing the wealth brought by the canal into the city's Feng Shui situation. The waterway is like a graceful woman, so this situation can also be called Fairy Flying to the Moon." It was originally going to be called Chang'e Flying to the Moon, but Chen Xiao was afraid that people here would not understand.

"Fairies flying to the moon!" Shen Yonghe was surprised and happy, "This is really a good omen." In the heavenly world, seeking immortality is popular. This Feng Shui name is not only nice to hear, but also makes these immortal practitioners feel very auspicious.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, raised his hand and saluted towards Master Sanshui: "I will ask Master Sanshui to perform some tricks for me in this game."

The Third Water Master was very interested in the game at this moment, and he immediately closed his eyes and raised his hands to pinch the magic formula. Although they could not see the changes in the soil and water layers far underground, they could feel the movement under the earth.

The places blocked by soil collapse caused by the battle between Shen Yonghe and the former king were cleared by magic, and the roaring underground river water was mobilized by Sanshui, and the groundwater layer increased rapidly.

In order to avoid causing drought in the surrounding area or causing land subsidence in other places, Sanshui mobilized natural precipitation in the shallow underground water layer. It did not extract water elements from the air to condense into water and replenish it underground. As a result, it will take some time for the underground water layer to return to its original thickness.

Of course, it was impossible to finish the work in one day. After a few hours, it was dark and Sanshuishangren stopped to rest. He did not plan to continue at night. It would take time to wait for the water from other places to flow naturally. He and Ke Jiusi declined Shen Yonghe's invitation to stay and rushed back to the arranged residence to rest.

This repeated for three days, and the thin layer of blue mist on the magic projection became thicker. Chen Xiao was shocked, thinking that technology was completely defeated by magic in this regard. If you want to fill such a large underground lake, it will take at least ten days or half a month.

Sanshui Shangren specially saved Chen Xiao's request until the end, just to be able to focus more. He not only planned to divert water according to Chen Xiao's request, but also widen the small tributary under the canal.

On that day, the villagers who were fishing in the canal heard the sound of rushing water, and suddenly waves were rising on the water surface, and gradually a whirlpool formed.

Master Sanshui led the water flow along the widened underground waterway to the area under the city's northern block. At first, Master Sanshui looked relaxed. It was too easy for him to lead such a small stream of water. However, as the water flowed, it became larger and faster. Master Sanshui was surprised to find that the water flow seemed to have a spirit, like a living thing. It seemed unwilling to succumb to Sanshui's hands, and kept rushing around, trying to break free from Sanshui's control.

If this stream of water really escaped, Sanshui would be so embarrassed! A thin layer of sweat suddenly broke out on Sanshui's back. He gritted his teeth and increased his true energy to firmly hold down this unyielding stream of water.

The water flow was pressed down, but it struggled to rise again, constantly attacking Sanshui's control, so he had to press it down again and again. Sanshui, who had never encountered such a bizarre thing, exclaimed in his heart that it was really weird.

Sanshui's demeanor changed subtly, from being at ease at the beginning to being as if facing a formidable enemy later. Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a little worried, fearing that something unexpected might happen. Fortunately, Sanshui managed to calm the situation with his profound cultivation and magic skills in the fusion period, successfully subdued the water flow, and finally smoothly guided it into the underground lake.

Just like the water flowing from a lake, it was like a dragon entering the sea. A low sound accompanied by vibrations sounded deep underground, and even the ground of the capital could clearly feel the tremors.

"Ang——" It seemed like the roar of a monster, or the crash of fast-flowing water. Surprised, residents living in the new city followed the sound and found that the water in the well, which had originally dropped to a very low level, was violently surging upwards. Chains of water seemed to have broken free from some restraints and splashed out of the well.

The splashing water hit the faces of the people around. They licked the water stains on their lips and were surprised to find that the well water was refreshing and sweet.

This miraculous sight only lasted for a moment. After the vibrations died down, the well returned to calm. However, the water level did not drop again. A brave resident put down his bucket, drew water, and tasted the water in the well. It was not as sweet as the water that splashed on his face just now, but it was much better than before.

Not to mention the surprise of the people in the city, the people standing on the top of the mountain also felt the shock. They were on the mountain and felt it more clearly.

"What's going on?" Shen Yonghe asked Chen Xiao unconsciously. Sanshui Shangren was not displeased, and he also turned to look at the young man standing beside him.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "The Feng Shui arrangement was successful. The canal part has successfully integrated with the Feng Shui of the city. From now on, the fortune of this canal will rise and fall with the capital. The canal's qi was of course unwilling to be forced to change direction at first, but when it realized that it was a perfect match with the capital and that they benefited from each other, it naturally produced some strange phenomena."

Ke Jiusi standing aside couldn't help but say: "You talk as if the canal is a living thing."

Chen Xiao said: "Although the mountains, rivers, plains and forests are not alive, they have their own temperaments. The environment and climate are like their temperaments."

Master Sanshui nodded and said, "Just like the scorching heat of a blazing land, and the freezing cold of an icy land, they are not as good as the hilly and watery land, where the climate is warm and the wind and rain are affectionate."

Shen Yonghe thought for a moment and said, "That seems to be the case."

The capital's sinking crisis was completely resolved, and Chen Xiao's Feng Shui arrangement was successfully completed. Shen Yonghe was very happy, and Shen Yongqing arranged to move the camp behind him, so he invited everyone present to the palace to attend the celebration banquet.

This celebration banquet was attended not only by the princes and nobles, but also by the city lords and officials from all over the country. No one wanted to miss the opportunity to meet the powerful, which made this banquet particularly grand.

Chen Xiao and his party were also invited, but Chen Xiao didn't want to go because he knew he was about to be promoted. Of course, promotion was more important than attending the banquet.

Chen Xiao didn't want to go, but didn't want Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru to miss out, so he asked Shen Yanxing to take them to participate. Xi Yunting said calmly: "I won't go, so as not to be pestered by a bunch of strangers."

After Xi Yunting's identity was exposed, those who wanted to get close to him were worried about not being able to see him. If he went, he would definitely be surrounded by people. Chen Xiao thought so too, so he didn't force it.

The five men split into two groups. Shen Yanxing and the other two went to the palace, while Chen Xiao went to the canal. When Chen Xiao came to the bank of the canal, if there were still villagers on the water, they would definitely notice that the place where Chen Xiao was standing was near the whirlpool.

Chen Xiao said to Xi Yunting seriously: "Brother, please protect me. I want to meditate here for a while."

Xi Yunting had no doubts. He seemed to know what Chen Xiao was going to do, and he stayed by his side like a silent guardian. "Don't worry, Xiao, I will protect you from being disturbed."
