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 405: Encounter by the Lake

Xi Yunting was called to discuss matters, and Zhao Fang accompanied him as his deputy. Tai Sheng did not care about anything, so the base assigned to the Chongxuan Sect was where Chen Xiao, the head of the Dongyu Sect, arranged various matters.

Chen Xiao said to Chang Shou, "We don't know how many days we will stay here yet. We don't need to build all the wooden houses. Just assemble the one for the headmaster, and the rest of us can live in tents first."

Chang Shou said respectfully, "Yes."

After Chang Shou left, Huang Ke Ran asked, "Master, when the time comes for the fight, do I need to participate?"

Chen Xiao asked back: "Do you want to go to Chongshan Fairy Palace?"

Huang Keran said, "With my current strength, going to Chongshan Palace will only drag everyone down, so I'd better not go." Chen Xiao looked at him steadily, and Huang Keran felt embarrassed. "Well, to be honest, I really want to go to Chongshan Palace to see it, but as I said, my cultivation is too low, so I'd better not go and seek death."

Chen Xiao chuckled and reached out to pat Huang Keran on the shoulder: "If you don't have any thoughts in your heart, I will really worry. This time you stay behind. I think the Equipment Refiner Alliance will arrange a safe rear area. It is impossible for everyone to go there without any preparation for a retreat."

Huang Keran said cleverly, "I understand. I will find a way to inform Master and Master's husband as soon as I find any clues."

Chen Xiao smiled and shook his head: "Silly disciple, if that happens, the first thing you should do is to save yourself. Think about it, we have come back from a trip to the void, and I am with your master, so there is no danger that we can't escape from."

After more than an hour, Xi Yunting and Zhao Fang came back. Chen Xiao went to greet them and asked in a low voice: "What is the rule? You don't really have to fight one by one to get in, right?"

Xi Yunting said: "It's a group battle. Those who can cross the battlefield can land on the island."

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, "This statement is too general."

Xi Yunting sighed softly, "After all, we are in the evil realm. The evil cultivators have drawn the Dao, and the Dao cultivators cannot afford to bargain with them."

Chen Xiao thought so too. Instead of asking them to humble themselves, it would be better to just take their lives.

Summarizing the experiences of previous times, this time the Equipment Refiners Alliance came up with a more detailed plan.

The evil cultivators will set up a battle line thirty miles long. No matter what method they use, as long as they cross this line, they will be qualified to land on the island.

It is generally recommended to be at the Jindan level or above. If it is too low, it will not be possible to pass at all. Even if it is the Jindan or Yuanying level, it is inevitable to suffer damage.

When crossing the finish line, you can go alone or in a team, and any casualties are at your own risk.

The Equipment Refiners Alliance stipulates that anyone coming in a team or as a sect must leave personnel on this side of the line, which is the current base.

Previously, the Equipment Refiners Alliance suffered a great loss because they did not leave any manpower here, and they were almost wiped out.

The Chongxuan Sect brought dozens of people this time and decided to leave one-third of them to garrison here.

Tai Sheng has always been a quiet person and doesn't like to move around. He has no interest in refining equipment. He is still far away from ascending to heaven, so he took the initiative to say that he wants to stay here and take charge.

Finally, Xi Yunting led Zhao Fang, Chang Shou and nearly thirty other elite disciples to cross the line.

The next morning, Xi Yunting and Chen Xiao brought their disciples and joined a dozen Jin Chan sect disciples led by Jing Hui and headed towards the flag forest.

They were the first group to leave, and as soon as they left the base they attracted everyone's attention.

Immediately, other large sects were unwilling to lag behind and gathered their disciples one after another. Among them, the Fire Lotus Temple, which belonged to the Equipment Refiners Alliance and had a feud with Xi Yunting, was the most anxious.

The evil cultivators had already seen the movement from the Taoist cultivators' side. After a slight commotion, a large group of people rushed out.

Chen Xiao estimated that there were about 500 to 600 evil cultivators in this group. He couldn't tell their cultivation level, but the number of them alone was enough to make people fearful.

Xi Yunting and Jing Hui were very calm. They ordered their disciples to form a formation and line up in an orderly manner.

These disciples are elite soldiers. Any one of them can defeat ten people alone. After forming a formation, the power they exert is multiplied several times.

The two top immortal sects, Chongxuan School and Jinchan Sect, have always been on good terms. They would exchange ideas with each other every once in a while and are familiar with each other's magic spells and techniques.

Although they had only competed with each other in the past, this was the first time they cooperated with each other, but because they were familiar with each other, they seemed very skilled.

Dozens of people formed a formation and huddled together, rushing fiercely towards the hundreds of evil cultivators. The battle became fierce as soon as they came into contact.

It’s not like Chen Xiao has never experienced a melee before, but this one is different from any other melee. It doesn’t seem like a fight between immortal cultivators, but more like a war.

Being caught up in it, Chen Xiao was completely bloodthirsty, with only one thought in his mind, which was to do everything he could to kill the evil cultivator in front of him.

The Xingshan Axe flew back and forth, and every collision splashed energy and blood, taking away a number of names.

At this time, he couldn't even think of adding any protective amulets or magical amulets to his body. He could only continuously output the energy stored in the compass and squeeze out every bit of his physical strength.

When I was almost exhausted and had only enough energy for the last two laps, the seemingly endless crowd in front of me finally came to an end.

The Xingshan Axe circling in the air was still full of murderous intent. Chen Xiao took a few quick breaths before slowly stopping.

"We're already here?" Chen Xiao still couldn't believe it.

"Yeah." Xi Yunting was surrounded by the smell of blood. In this battle, he and Jing Hui killed the most people and shared most of the pressure.

Chen Xiao put away the Xingshan Axe and looked back at the flag forest. "Are there any casualties?"

Xi Yunting returned the sword to his body and said, "Three people were seriously injured, five were slightly injured, and no one died."

Jing Hui came over and said proudly: "With our disciples of the Jin Chan Sect here, how could anyone die?"

Chen Xiao smiled. They hadn't fought side by side for a long time and he had almost forgotten that Jin Chan Sect's disciples were best at protection and healing.

"Can the injured people leave?" Xi Yunting asked.

Jing Hui shook her head and said, "The lightly injured ones can walk on their own, but the seriously injured ones will need someone to move them."

Xi Yunting said: "We didn't prepare a flying sedan this time, so we had to have people carry the seriously injured away."

Chen Xiao said: "There's no need to waste manpower. We don't need to fly the rest of the way. Just let Xiao Ba carry us."

Xi Yunting and Jing Hui both knew that Xiao Ba would become larger after his evolution, and it would consume a lot of spiritual energy to maintain his enlarged state. However, the Chongxuan School and the Jinchan School were both sects that were not short of money, and Xi Yunting was even more wealthy, so he could naturally afford to feed him with these spiritual stones.

Xi Yunting said, "Then let Xiao Baduo take over."

After lightening their burden, the group walked along the mountain range for a while. After crossing the mountain range, they saw a boundless body of water appear before their eyes.

It is said to be a big lake, but as far as the eye can see, the lake water extends along the shores on both sides, as boundless as the sea.

The lake water is very clear, showing a gem-like blue color. The clouds in the sky are clearly reflected on the lake surface. A large number of water birds living here fly by from time to time, dive into the lake and pick up a small fish. Such a scene makes the lake seem full of vitality.

"Look, there's someone over there!" At this time, a disciple of the Chongxuan School shouted.

Chen Xiao turned around and saw a small camp standing by the lake about thirty or forty miles away. It was surrounded by a low wooden fence and had several white tents inside.

Jing Hui exclaimed in surprise, "It turns out there are people who arrived earlier than us."

Xi Yunting raised his chin and said, "Let's go over and see who is there."

He used his physical skills to travel faster, and the thirty or forty miles was only a quarter of an hour away.

When they got closer, Xi Yunting suddenly stopped everyone from getting closer, "It's an evil cultivator!"

The style of the tent and the patterns on it are completely different from Luo Chen and Xu Wu's styles, and are more like the local style they had seen in Huanggu Town.

Jing Hui's body suddenly stopped as he rushed forward, and he said angrily: "It's not enough to beat one batch, you want to beat a second batch, right? Fine! I'll accompany you to the end!" As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and pulled out the rosary magic weapon.

Chen Xiao said anxiously: "Don't be impulsive, figure out what's going on. If it's really the evil cultivators who are causing trouble, it's not too late to fight them later!"

The Jin Chan sect disciples behind Jing Hui were about to follow him and rush out. Xi Yunting had no choice but to speed up and stop Jing Hui. "Wait a minute!"

The crowd outside the camp was making quite a bit of noise, and the people inside heard it, lifted the curtain on the tent, and walked out.

There were two evil cultivators, one male and one female, with the demeanor of someone from a great family. The male cultivator had a handsome face, while the female cultivator was gentle and charming.

The male evil cultivator looked at the crowd, the Buddhist cultivators were still looking aggressive, he clapped his hands and smiled at the Taoist cultivators, "So it's you Taoist masters who have arrived, please come in quickly."

Jing Hui asked vigilantly: "Who are you and why are you setting up a camp here? Are you trying to block our way?"

The evil female cultivator covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "Your cultivation is really interesting. Have you ever seen a road blocked by only two people?"

Jing Hui was so annoyed by the laughter that she shouted angrily with a stern face: "Stop talking nonsense and tell us who you are."

The evil female cultivator rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's useless to enter the water before the right day. Only on the right day and with a thick fog can we go to the island. Don't you have to wait these few days? You are really rude, a Taoist cultivator. We have good intentions and set up a camp here for you to use. But you are here shouting at us."

The male evil man formally used the etiquette of a first meeting and said, "I am Wang Zhonglang, the sixth of the Wang family of Hongfu Pavilion, and this is Wang Zhongjia, the third of the clan. We in the Wang family have no ill intentions. On the contrary, we want to make friends with all the Taoists so that we can have some transactions during the opening of the Immortal Palace. This camp is our sincerity. This place is the most suitable place to land on the island and can be provided for you to stay."

Jing Hui didn't care how exaggerated the other party's words were. He had killed many evil cultivators in the Shenzhou Atlas and had never had a good impression of them.

"I'm afraid we will disappoint you. We in the Jin Chan Sect have no intention of having anything to do with you evil cultivators."

Wang Chonglang didn't mind Jing Hui's bad tone. He said, "If you agree to cooperate with Hongfu Pavilion, my Wang family can provide detailed information on several island explorations."

"I only know one thing: if you want to take something, you must give it first!" Jing Hui said, "Let's go!"

Xi Yunting and Jing Hui were commanders of equal status, so Xi Yunting would naturally not offend him at this time. Without saying a word, he signaled to Zhao Fang, and the group left the camp behind and walked in another direction.

As they walked, Jing Hui said to her two friends, "I have met at least eight hundred evil cultivators, and there have never been any good people. I accidentally met two of them here. Can you believe this coincidence?"

Chen Xiao said: "Brother Jing, you don't have to explain. We trust your judgment."

Jing Hui smiled: "Just don't blame me for my rash rejection. After all, that's the message of landing on the island."
