Chen Xiao even heard from the servant that the boss was so angry that he smashed a set of teacups that he liked very much.

Even Ma and Qi looked unhappy that day. After all, the other party questioned Pang and Mu's fraud, which was doubting their character, which was particularly embarrassing. The two old men had been in the circle for decades, and this was the first time they encountered such an infuriating thing. They were very angry inside.

This was not just one or two stores, but several famous stores on Antique Street united to say this. They completely disregarded the reputation of Mr. Ma and Mr. Qi, and were ready to break off relations.

Ma Lao was so angry that his face turned pale. Pang Hemu was terrified, fearing that the old man would collapse in his shop. He quickly asked the clerk to call a doctor. Chen Xiao took the initiative to take the job. He ran all the way to the clinic where he had a follow-up visit before and hired a doctor who specialized in treating sudden emergencies of the elderly.

Because Chen Xiao explained the situation in advance, the doctor took out a brain-awakening and heart-protecting pill and stuffed it directly into Ma Lao's mouth. But in a few moments, Ma Lao's face returned to its rosy color.

Ma Lao panted and said, "We can't just let this go! We need to talk it over! Isn't the big boss of Shenghui very capable? He persuaded all the antique shops on the street to follow him. We can also find people from the capital and the county towns around. I still don't believe that he can cover up everything with one hand."

Pang Hemu smiled bitterly. He was not a rookie. The Pang family had been engaged in business for three generations. He had learned from his father when he was very young. Naturally, he understood the reason for the current situation. He founded the Taxue Xunxian Pavilion. In just over a decade, it surpassed the century-old shops on the antique street and became the most famous one. This had seriously offended them and they were targeting him in every possible way.

What can they do about those who pretend to be deaf and dumb? Even if they invite veterans from the surrounding counties, it will only be a fair debate. The shops that unite will not suffer any loss, but the Snow Seeking Immortal Pavilion will be branded as a name-seeking company.

The difficulty now is that they really have no evidence, everything is speculation. The only evidence is the experience provided by a shop assistant who has little reputation, which can be easily refuted.

Pang Hemu's eyes were aimlessly scanning the room. The doctor was still telling Mr. Ma to stay calm during this period and not to be overjoyed or sad. Chen Xiao stood aside, holding the doctor's medicine box.

Looking at Chen Xiao's submissive face, Pang Hemu couldn't help but have an idea. It would be great if he could find the clothes of the immortal master and take another look at them.

Then, he was shocked by his absurd idea. Even if it was just clothes, they belonged to the immortal master. Who would dare to make such a presumptuous request? Besides, where could they find them?

"Alas——" Pang Hemu sighed sadly.

Chen Xiao glanced at him, thought for a moment, and gently placed the medicine box on the coffee table. He walked to Pang Hemu and whispered, "Boss, are you worried about the bronze tripod?"

Pang Hemu rolled his eyes at him unhappily: "Isn't this obvious?"

Chen Xiao pursed his lips and said in a slightly nervous tone: "If it's this matter, I have a solution here that might work."

Pang Hemu didn't hold out much hope, and raised his eyebrows indifferently: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Chen Xiao whispered, "Now people outside don't want to believe that this bronze tripod is an antique from an immortal, just because there is no favorable evidence. If this bronze tripod can be like the immortal master, people can see at a glance that it is special and feel that it is not an ordinary thing. Do you think these people will believe it?"

Pang Hemu's eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Xiao with a new perspective, saying, "I thought you were just a little clever before, but I didn't expect you to be so smart." Then, he said in a helpless tone, "I also know that it would be best to prove it with the methods of the immortals. I even thought about getting a piece of clothing like the one you saw before. However, this is not something that can be done easily. Even if I use the connections that my Pang family has built up for three generations, I still can't get involved with the immortal gate. I can only ask the immortal cultivation families in the county city for help."

As a big businessman in the county city, Pang Hemu also knew several immortal cultivators. Through these people, he was able to establish a relationship with the City Lord's Mansion. However, those connections could only be used when the Pang family's family business was at stake. Chasing immortals was his personal hobby. Should he use up the connections he had accumulated over the years for this bronze tripod? Pang Hemu was very hesitant.

Chen Xiao didn't expect that there was such a force behind Pang Hemu. He was surprised for a moment before he said, "No need to bother the boss to invite those nobles. We can do it ourselves."

Pang Hemu was now interested: "Oh?"

Chen Xiao looked at the people around him. They were all gathered around Ma Lao and didn't notice the two men talking. Pang Hemu understood that he wanted to avoid being seen, and although he felt it was unnecessary, he still took him to another side room in the main house.

This is a living room and bedroom layout, with a screen in the middle to separate the two sides. Pang Hemu sat on the Arhat bed and asked Chen Xiao to move a round stool to sit on.

"Tell me in detail." Pang Hemu said.

"Actually, I have mastered a technique called the art of housing. Although this art of housing is considered to be of little use by the immortal master, it is unique in arousing vitality." Chen Xiao then gave Pang Hemu a brief explanation. The art of housing is a technique of how to use the shape, orientation, and arrangement of furniture of a house to gather vitality and make people living in the house feel comfortable.

Pang Hemu probably understood. He looked at Chen Xiao in confusion: "What does this have to do with your method?"

Chen Xiao said seriously: "The residential technique cannot be practiced, nor can it be used for defense or attack. But there is one thing that can definitely be used here. Anger is also a kind of power. If it is arranged properly and the steps are correct, it will definitely be able to activate the multi-treasure pattern on the bronze tripod. Regardless of whether the energy released by the multi-treasure pattern is strong or weak at that time, at least it proves that it is definitely not an ordinary item!"

Pang Hemu's eyes became brighter and brighter. When Chen Xiao finished speaking, he stood up excitedly: "Great! This method is very good! Let's do it this way!" He strode to Chen Xiao, put his big hand heavily on his shoulder, and said solemnly: "If this succeeds, you will be a great contributor to the Taxue Xunxian Pavilion. At that time, I will promote you to be the third shopkeeper of the store! Not only that, but there will be another generous reward!"

The Taxue Xunxian Pavilion currently has a chief shopkeeper, a second shopkeeper, and several shopkeeper masters. The chief shopkeeper is responsible for daily affairs, the second shopkeeper is responsible for accounts, and the shopkeeper masters are responsible for sales. These people have clear division of labor, so what can the third shopkeeper do? Probably just to collect salary and do nothing.

Chen Xiao didn't take it seriously. He was relieved when Pang Hemu agreed. He originally just wanted to use this bronze tripod to show his ability to identify immortal antiques. But he didn't expect that things would change so suddenly. If Pang Hemu couldn't withstand this joint attack, the reputation of the Snow Seeking Immortal Pavilion would plummet. Later, it might even be squeezed out by several other large antique shops.

Chen Xiao was quite happy here. He wanted to stay here until he left and didn't want to change jobs. Besides, he couldn't find a job as high-paying and easy as the one he has now. Therefore, Taxexue Xunxian Pavilion couldn't lose this battle.

It was just right that he could also casually bring out his own special skills. At this time, no one would seriously investigate where and when he learned this residential art. After all, no matter how difficult it was to practice, it was considered an auxiliary art, and it was also related to the immortal art.

Under Pang Hemu's orders, the guys at Taxue Xunxian Pavilion got busy, carrying out Chen Xiao's seemingly inexplicable orders. They couldn't understand why a good drainage ditch had to be built into a hidden canal, and it was twisted and shaped strangely. They also couldn't understand why a copper water pipe had to be installed in the store, and only the lower half of the pipe could see water flowing.

Chen Xiao didn't care whether they understood or not, he just asked them to do it. The movements in the Snow Seeking Immortal Pavilion could not be hidden from the outsiders. Shenghui's boss secretly mocked that Pang Pangzi knew he couldn't continue working and wanted to tear down the house for renovation and change his career.

There are many people who like to do good things, and this word soon reached Pang Hemu's ears. Pang Hemu was not angry this time, but invited several bosses to come to his store in a few days to really appreciate this immortal antique. Everyone knew that the day of the decisive battle was approaching.

Although Pang Hemu allowed Chen Xiao to make the arrangements, he did not put all his hopes on him. He spent a lot of money to invite several well-known colleagues from the capital and surrounding counties. On that day, if Chen Xiao's method did not work, he would let these colleagues debate with the other party directly. They could not lose the limelight, and at least it had to be a draw.

Chen Xiao turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and focused on making his own preparations.

He found a pond that was carved out of a whole stone, which was very wild and interesting. The pond originally contained a miniature landscape with mountains, water, and houses. The hills, trees, and houses were all removed by him, leaving only a clean stone pond.

He placed the pool against the wall on one side of the store. In order to make room for the pool, he also moved all the display racks on this side. As a result, the layout of the store changed a bit, and the reception area was forced to shrink by one third. After placing the stone pool, Chen Xiao did not allow anyone to move it. He only covered the stone pool with a piece of cloth.

A few days later, the boss of Shenghui and the owners of several other old shops on the antique street came to the door. As soon as you enter the door, you will feel a fresh and moist air, and as soon as you look up, you can see the stone pool placed against the wall.

Boss Shenghui was very surprised, and didn't understand what Pang Pangzi's hobby was, putting such a stone pool in the store. He walked over curiously to take a look, and the people behind him didn't know what was going on, so they followed him.

"Wow, Boss Pang is so tasteful that he even raises fish in the store." said one of them.

The pond in front of me looks like an inkstone, with ups and downs on the outside, as if it has been carved. In the pond in the middle, the water is clear and you can see the bottom. You can see a few plump and cute goldfish, swinging their tails like skirts and swimming leisurely. The pond is dotted with water plants and pebbles, which is quite interesting.
