Master Qin took out a brand-new copper coin sword, brandished it in the air a few times, then took out a talisman and lit it, chanting: "Heaven is round and earth is square, the laws are in nine chapters... Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"
After saying this, the master put the ashes of the burned talisman into the water, stared at the surface for a moment, and then showed a look of sudden realization, saying, "Master Xu, the problem has been found!"
"Your Five Elements have an excess of Wood, and Metal controls Wood. The problem lies with the golden toad ornament by your bedside. The toad has a strong ability to devour, which amplifies the effect of the Metal element and clashes with your fortune, causing you to have a series of bad luck."
Upon hearing that the master had found the root of the problem, Xu Hai became excited and hurriedly asked, "Master Qin, will I get better if I remove this golden toad?"
Master Qin looked troubled: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. Its influence is already deeply rooted. Removing it now will not restore your fortune to its original state."
"How could this happen? Master Qin, you are a master, you must help me think of a solution."
Master Qin replied, "You should place items that enhance your fortune in the same location. This will balance the positive and negative aspects, ensuring your luck will be smooth."
"So what should I put in it?"
Master Qin remained silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, before rummaging through his toolbox and pulling out a fist-sized piece of blue crystal rough:
"Master Xu, this item is just right. Blue crystal has a strong water element, and water nourishes wood, which is perfect for you. Moreover, this crystal is no ordinary item. It was taken from the Himalayas and has been blessed by my master with many years of skill. It has boundless magical power. As long as you place this raw stone, you will surely have good fortune and auspicious energy coming from the east."
Xu Hai made a quick decision: "Master Qin, how much is this crystal? I'll buy it!"
Master Qin, however, seemed troubled: "This, this price is hard to estimate, after all, it was blessed by my master Qin Lang before his death."
Xu Hai was impatient and pleaded, "Master, please sell me. Have pity on this old man."
Qin Feng sighed: "Well, alright, I see you're a kind person, and we seem to have a connection. I'll give you this crystal for a discount, two million."
Although the Xu family has declined, they are not so poor that they cannot come up with two million. Xu Hai waved his hand and said, "I'll buy it. Master, you can set up the formation. As long as it can solve the problem, the money is negotiable."
A hint of smugness flashed in Qin Feng's eyes: "Grandpa, don't worry. As long as we have this crystal, our luck will turn around tomorrow, and we'll personally feel the reversal of fortune."
Hearing the master's assurance, Xu Hai felt relieved and just wanted to reverse his bad luck as quickly as possible.
He didn't care much about the minor physical bumps and bruises, but the problems that kept the Xu family's business partners from running into kept him up at night. If things continued like this, the Xu family would go bankrupt sooner or later. He had worked hard all his life, but in the end, he had nothing to leave to his children. Even after he was buried, he would have no face to face his ancestors.
Yesterday, a European merchant who had been cooperating with the Xu family for many years suddenly cancelled a previously signed order, stating that this supply would be the last and that all future cooperation between the two companies would be suspended indefinitely. This is a huge blow to the already struggling Xu family.
If two million can solve all these troubles, then that would be a great bargain.
Xu Hai signed a check for two million without hesitation and handed it to Qin Feng.
Upon receiving the check, Master Qin's joy was palpable.
Master Qin first instructed the steward to remove the golden toad, then picked up the crystal rough stone and placed it on top, placing one hand on the stone while chanting incantations.
A moment later, Master Qin raised his hand and said with a smile, "Master Xu, I have changed the feng shui arrangement of this room. You only need to wait until tomorrow and wait for good news."
"Master Qin, thank you so much!" Xu Hai excitedly grasped Qin Feng's hand, repeatedly expressing his gratitude.
Lin An saw everything and sneered inwardly.
This Master Qin is utterly worthless, yet he dares to call himself Qin Lang's successor. He hasn't even grasped the basic principles in Qin Lang's feng shui treatises. Moreover, he deliberately mystifies things, and in his attempt to sell his worthless stone, he has backfired, creating an extremely ominous formation.
Yesterday, Lin An was shocked when he saw the video Xu Mo sent him. The room was too big and had a strange layout. It was exactly the Chen-Xu clash formation recorded in the "Life Skills Collection".
Chen is a water reservoir, and Xu is a fire reservoir. Water and fire clash, causing the wealth reservoir to be completely depleted. Therefore, the Xu family's fortunes declined. Xu Hai himself was trapped in this formation, as if he were in deep water and scorching fire, and naturally, he was plagued by bad luck.
Fortunately, Xu Hai had placed the golden toad by his bedside. Earth generates metal, and metal generates water, providing a buffer in the struggle between water and fire. It was because of this toad that the formation's effects were suppressed; otherwise, it wouldn't just be bad luck, but a matter of life and death.
Unfortunately, Qin Feng, that swindler, took the golden toad away, which destroyed Xu Hai's last chance of survival. The formation was now complete and extremely ferocious.
His broken stone only amplified the reservoir's momentum. The dragon was rising, and once it soared to the heavens, the Xu family was about to suffer a terrible fate.
Xu Hai was still expressing his gratitude: "Master Qin, you have helped me a lot. You must stay for lunch before you leave, so I can show you some hospitality."
Qin Feng hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, Grandpa Xu, I have to catch a plane. There are people in Beijing who are waiting for me."
Xu Hai said with some regret, "Alright then, Master Qin, from now on you are the benefactor of my Xu family. Please feel free to ask if you need anything."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xu Hai's phone rang. A man's anxious voice came from the other end of the line: "Chairman, something terrible has happened."
Xu Hai was shocked: "What happened?"
"The batch of goods we supplied to European customers was detained by customs, who said that unidentified insects had mixed in and endangered their country's ecological security. Now our partners cannot get the goods and are demanding a refund according to the contract, as well as double compensation."
Xu Hai felt a sharp pain in his chest, his breathing became rapid, and he couldn't speak. The return of hundreds of tons of goods, plus the compensation, amounted to nearly 200 million yuan, enough to drain the cash flow of the Xu family enterprise. The Xu family was going to collapse.
The man's voice came through the phone repeatedly: "And customs rejected our appeal, Chairman, what should we do?"
Seeing that things were not going well, Master Qin leaned close to Xu Zhi and whispered, "I won't bother you any longer. I'm going to the airport now. Goodbye, Mr. Xu."
Qin Feng tried to slip away, but Xu Mo pulled him back and scolded, "Master Qin, don't be in such a hurry to leave!"
