Cheng Zizhen looked at Long Yi with expectation, hoping that he could successfully find the reason why the spiritual herbs withered.
"Humph, you charlatan, you've already learned to play tricks at such a young age."
Brother Zhou on the side sneered in his heart and stared at Long Yi with disdain.
Cheng Zizhen is a pampered rich young man who has never seen all kinds of people in society, so it is normal for him to be intimidated by Long Yi. However, he was able to fight his way to his current position with his bare hands, so he is naturally a smart man among smart men.
He had long felt that the temperature inside the garden was several degrees lower than outside, but shouldn't everyone be able to feel such a significant temperature difference between inside and outside?
The lower temperature in the garden is only due to the transpiration of the leaves of the spiritual herbs. In addition, some spiritual herbs are inherently cool in nature, so they are naturally lower than the temperature outside.
What's more, botanical experts have already surveyed all factors that may affect the growth of spiritual herbs and found no problems.
That's why we invited Master Liao from the North, who is a master of magic, to survey the planting base from the perspective of Feng Shui.
At this time, Master Liao stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Master Chen, I have already seen the problem."
"Master Liao, please speak quickly!" Father Cheng was overjoyed. It turned out that professional matters should be done by professionals. A half-baked person can't see anything.
"This magical herb planting base is located in a basin, where the Yin energy from all directions converges. In Feng Shui, we call it a 'Yin Gathering Land'.
This yin energy erupts every twelve years. This year happens to be the Year of the Snake, and snakes are yin in nature. The yin energy that has accumulated underground for twelve years naturally erupted.
The roots of these magical herbs were almost corroded by the Yin energy seeping from the ground, and naturally withered and died..."
Father Chen slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Master Liao is truly an amazing person. The last time this cultivation base suffered a disaster was twelve years ago. However, it was winter at the time, and we thought it was the cold weather that froze the spiritual herbs. I never thought it would be this reason."
The people around were amazed, and their eyes looking at Master Liao became even more admiring.
"As expected of a renowned Feng Shui master from the North, he's already pinpointed the root of the problem in less than half an hour."
"Yes, such a genius deserves the title of Master!"
"But the cause of the disease has been found. I wonder if Master Liao has any way to save him?" asked Chen's father.
"Haha." Master Liao smiled confidently, "It's simple. I'll set up a magic circle here to harmonize yin and yang later, and draw the yang energy from above to here.
With the balance of yin and yang, not only will the thousands of acres of spiritual herbs regain their health, but this place will also become a treasure land for growing spiritual herbs, with spring-like weather and pleasant temperatures all year round."
"Then I'll have to trouble Master Liao to perform the task. Once the task is completed, my Lingbao Pavilion will definitely reward you handsomely!" Father Chen was overjoyed and quickly clasped his fists to express his gratitude.
He regretted not finding Master Liao earlier. This would not only minimize the losses but also save a lot of money.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Just as everyone was overjoyed, a cold voice came from behind the crowd.
There was a sudden silence on the field, and everyone's smiles froze on their faces.
Following the sound, I saw the young man introduced by Cheng Zizhen just now standing with his hands behind his back. Brother Zhou next to him was staring at him in surprise.
"Who dares to speak nonsense here?" Someone immediately jumped out and pointed at Long Yi's nose and asked.
The person who had just met Long Yi frowned immediately. Even if this guy had been introduced by Young Master Cheng, he shouldn't be so arrogant. Master Liao has such a high status, how can a young boy like you question it?
Seeing the frosty look on Father Chen's face, Brother Zhou wanted to kick Long Yi to the ground.
'Damn it, if it weren't for Young Master Cheng's sake, you wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of Lingbao Pavilion. Didn't you see that even the Pavilion Master was listening attentively, and you dared to jump out and question him?
There were over a dozen botanical experts standing nearby, and none of them dared to raise any objections. So, what's the point of a layman like you, who knows nothing about anything, trying to make a name for yourself?
In his heart, he silently greeted all eighteen generations of Long Yi's ancestors.
Father Chen finally couldn't stand it any longer, frowned and said coldly: "My friend, I let you follow me for Cheng Zizhen's sake, but I didn't allow you to go crazy in front of everyone.
If you don't explain it to me today, I'm afraid the consequences will be beyond your ability to bear!"
Long Yi seemed to be at a loss for words regarding the threat posed by the Lingbao Pavilion Master, and said calmly:
"Wasn't what I just said clear enough? I'm saying this Master Liao is just pretending to know and trying to be mysterious."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar!
Everyone looked at Long Yi with strange eyes, not knowing whether to say that he was fearless like a newborn calf, or that he was stupid.
It would have been fine if you had said it behind my back before, and the situation wouldn't have been too awkward if you had explained it, but now Pavilion Master Cheng is asking you personally, and you actually dared to say such arrogant words in front of all the high-level officials in Yandu.
What's more, Master Liao is less than five meters in front of you. What you are doing is no different from disturbing the earth, especially the earth mixed with shit.
The next second, Pavilion Master Cheng's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it, and his fierce eyes seemed to want to cut a piece of flesh from Long Yi.
Many people have already started to criticize Long Yi, almost spitting in his face.
"You ignorant child, what qualifications do you have to criticize Master Liao?"
Long Yi stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "I was invited here by Cheng Zizhen, the Young Master of Lingbao Pavilion. What that old man said is wrong. Don't I have the qualifications to comment on it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's gazes fell on Cheng Zizhen. He had always lived a life of debauchery before, so how could he withstand the gazes of so many bigwigs?
Even though he was originally full of confidence in Long Yi, he couldn't help but waver under the heavy pressure and began to doubt whether inviting Long Yi over was the right choice.
The one with the exact opposite expression to him was naturally Long Yi. Even though he was being criticized by thousands of people, his back was still straight, with pride in his eyes, and he was not at all inferior in momentum.
Pavilion Master Cheng couldn't stand it any longer and was about to kick Long Yi out, but Master Liao next to him smiled kindly.
"That's alright. It seems this fellow Taoist is quite dissatisfied with my opinion. I believe he must have a deep understanding of Feng Shui.
As the saying goes, where the Dao exists, the Master exists. Perhaps your knowledge of Feng Shui far surpasses mine, so feel free to share your insights.
As soon as Master Liao finished speaking, cheers and applause rang out from all around.
Only someone with such humility can be worthy of the title of master. Unlike that young man just now, the full jar made no sound but the half-full jar made a clanging sound, which was really embarrassing.
The most important way of dealing with the world in Longguo's national studies is humility. No matter how capable you are, you must know how to hide your shortcomings. If you show off your talents, you will be looked down upon by others.
With Master Liao's achievements and reputation, he can still be so humble, which makes everyone admire him even more.
