Chapter 32: The Value of the Spirit Pearl

Chen Xiao had never cried like this in either of his two lifetimes.

He could imagine how much effort his master had put into devising such a perilous, near-death opportunity for him after his death. It must have been incredibly difficult. Even as a feng shui master himself, having experienced a temporal shift and posses...

Chapter 31: A Master's Love

Chen Xiao tentatively closed one eye, and the compass in the darkness became even clearer. So, he boldly shut both eyes and reached out to touch it.

The compass in the darkness was not solid, it was an illusion. When Chen Xiao extended his hand, the shadowy form of the compass settled onto his palm. He cupped his hands ...

Chapter 30: Peril

"Dongyu" referred to the Feng Shui sect that Chen Xiao had belonged to in his past life, while "Fang Gu" was the name of his master.

In his previous world, Feng Shui had long spread beyond its homeland. Not only had it thrived in Southeast Asia, amassing a large following, but even across the seas in major Western count...

Chapter 29: Dongyu Fang Gu

The people here didn’t know what feng shui was, so it was naturally difficult for them to accept. But on the flip side, the entire County City was an untapped market waiting to be explored.

Chen Xiao’s so-called promotion of residential feng shui wasn’t about making a big public spectacle or shouting about it in t...

Chapter 28: Tianshui Secret Realm

Gu Baiyi was completely unaware that Ji Rong had mentally branded her as "useless." Seeing the slight furrow in Ji Rong's brow, she couldn't shake the feeling that something about it was strange.

However, Ji Rong merely cast her a fleeting glance before turning away, saying nothing more.

This brought Gu Baiyi's th...

Chapter 27: The Wife Is Always Someone Else’s

When Ji Rong woke up from her hangover, her head was still spinning.

She vaguely remembered that before getting drunk, she had followed the heroine to the top of an impossibly tall, illegal-looking structure. There, in her hazy state, she had stared at the moon for a while before completely blacking out.

Just befo...

Chapter 26: The Moonlight is Beautiful

Tonight was Yuanchun, and the Wanjian Sect was more lively than ever.

The distant sound of fireworks and firecrackers echoed outside, startling Gu Baiyi from her nightmare.

She abruptly opened her eyes, remnants of crimson still flickering within them.

Once again, she had dreamt of that sunset.

Rising ...

Chapter 28: The Ivory Plaque

Chen Xiao was astonished by this revelation. He had only sensed a faint aura from the plaque and guessed it was an object of some significance. He never expected it to be made from the tooth of a ferocious beast that had been passed down for thousands of years.

Hearing the Immortal Master confirm that the plaque was cra...

Chapter 27: Unparalleled Thick Skin

"Xi..." As soon as Chen Xiao spoke, he was startled by his own voice. His vocal cords tightened from the sudden shock, making his voice hoarse. After barely uttering a syllable, he immediately shut his mouth. Feeling a bit embarrassed by his lack of composure, he cleared his throat before speaking again. "Immortal Master Xi, ...

Chapter 26: Pang Hemu Encounters an Immortal

Three days had passed, yet the heated discussions surrounding the bronze cauldron had not died down. However, inside Taxue Xunxian Pavilion, things had already settled, and the shopkeeper, master craftsmen, and clerks had all resumed their daily work.

Only after his heartache subsided did Pang Hemu remember to pay atten...

Chapter 23: Wedding Night

People often say that life’s four greatest joys are: timely rain after a long drought, encountering an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and achieving academic success.

In just over a month, Qiu Che had already experienced two of these joys.

No one in the capital could deny that she was in the spo...

Chapter 22: Wedding

"How's your case going?"

As she spoke, Fu Yijun placed a chess piece on the board, blocking Qiu Che's path.

"Does Your Majesty want to know?"

Qiu Che remained expressionless. "Then you'll have to exchange it for information of equal value."

"Aren't we already partners?" Fu Yijun raised an eyebrow, not ...

Chapter 21: Imperial Marriage Decree

Yes, this was their plan all along.

Qiu Che wrote a letter seeking the Empress Dowager’s assistance, ensuring that the memorial reached Li Shi’s hands.

The emperor had long suffered under Prime Minister Wu’s dominance. He had been searching for a capable minister to counterbalance Wu’s power but had never ...

Chapter 20: Proposal of Marriage

Because she was a woman, there was no way for her to help Li Qingwu with the poison.

After Qiu Che spoke these words, she had no expectation of receiving a response from Li Qingwu.

She immediately regretted saying it.

Without even looking at the other’s expression, she gently brushed away the other’s han...

Chapter 19: Emotional Barrier

"Can’t diagnose it?"

As soon as Qiu Che returned, she was met by Yu Ming, who came forward with a grave expression and whispered, "No."

"The doctor we brought in is the renowned Chen Huichun from the city. Even he said he couldn’t diagnose it, so it’s likely..."

Qiu Che thought for a moment, then turne...

Chapter 18: The Courtyard

It was a good question.

The Empress Dowager opened her eyes, intending to hear how Qiu Che would answer.

In the full view of everyone, Qiu Che calmly responded, "Your Majesty, when I left home, my father was wearing this very outfit. I have always respected my father at home... never asking unnecessary questions, ...

Chapter 17: Rosemary

No one noticed that Qiu Che's face turned as pale as a sheet the moment he saw the scene in the room.

The emperor was furious, and Qiu Che, hidden among the crowd, suddenly snapped to attention.

At a glance, he saw that the room was crowded every one of the big names from the banquet, people he couldn't afford to ...

Chapter 16: Confusion

After much effort, Qiu Che finally shook off Wu Yiqi. She had only walked halfway along the path, vaguely following the direction her memory recalled, when she saw Li Qingwu's figure.

She wasn't sure how she recognized her, but somehow, she had.

Seeing Li Qingwu relax suddenly after hearing her response, Qiu Che l...

Chapter 25: A Treasure Brings Trouble

The bronze cauldron crashed to the ground, sending a powerful shockwave rippling through the courtyard, as if a massive hammer had struck everyone squarely in the chest. A violent gust of force erupted from the cauldron, sweeping through the crowd. The onlookers were instantly thrown into the air, hurtling backward and slammi...

Chapter 24: The Mysterious Ceremony

The water wasn’t still; a copper pipe extended from the wall, and a small stream of water flowed through it into the pool. The sound of the water splashing echoed, and the golden fish became even livelier, their fins fluttering as the aquatic plants swayed with the current. There was a hidden outlet at the bottom of the poo...

Chapter 23: Joint Strike

Chen Xiao even heard from the servants that the boss had gotten so angry he threw a set of tea cups he particularly liked.

Even Elder Ma and Elder Qi had a displeased look on their faces that day. After all, the accusations from the other party about Pang Hemu forging evidence were essentially questioning their integrit...

Chapter 22: The Memorable "School Uniform"

Before his death in his previous life, Chen Xiao had taken plenty of medicine. The fragrance from the bronze cauldron was pleasant, yet it carried a faint bitterness—one he would never forget. The unique, slightly acrid scent of medicinal herbs was unmistakable.

However, this alone wasn't enough evidence. What if this...

Chapter 21: The Bronze Cauldron

Chen Xiao had never been deeply knowledgeable about antiques, but he knew that large bronze cauldrons were considered national treasures. Due to the limitations of ancient smelting techniques and the strict control over metal resources, crafting a sizable bronze cauldron required not only exceptional skill but also considerab...

Chapter 20: The Immortal’s Antique

To the neighbors, Chen Xiao appeared to be a man without parents, someone whose wife would directly take charge of the household and not have to deal with a meddling mother-in-law. He had a decent job with reportedly good pay. On top of that, he was capable, managing to furnish the entire house on his own, which suggested tha...

Chapter 19: Was His Feng Shui Good, or Was It a Mistake?

Uncovering this truth was like opening a door to a new world for Chen Xiao. No longer would he have to feel dissatisfied or gaze enviously at those who could cultivate immortality. He could create an entirely new system of cultivation for himself.

However, this new method had its pros and cons. The benefit was that it a...

Chapter 18: Gathering Fate

The small courtyard where Chen Xiao had moved in was, frankly speaking, the worst in terms of feng shui compared to all the houses he had inspected with the people living there.

First, its location was not ideal. It sat on a curving road, a bend in the street. The road here resembled a reverse bow, curving outward. In f...

Chapter 17: What to Do When You're Hungry Again

Expressing just the right amount of joy and heartfelt gratitude, Chen Xiao left with the heavy three hundred silver coins in his pocket. The master did not invite him to stay for a meal; he wasn’t yet worthy of such a privilege. Chen Xiao wasn’t bothered by being looked down upon; the surprise of the reward was more than ...

Chapter 16: Best Fan

Since recovering his health, Chen Xiao had maintained a habit of three meals a day, plus afternoon tea and late-night snacks. He continued this routine even after arriving in Fancun. The former feng shui master wasn’t about to deny himself good food, so naturally, he chose the best for his meals.

On his first day back...

Chapter 25: Champion

Today, the misty rain drifted over Bixue Peak, a thousand threads of sorrow, endless like silk threads stretching far into the distance.

Mei He held up an oil-paper umbrella with thirty-two bamboo ribs, shielding herself from the gentle drizzle outside.

Below, the disciples gathered to watch the competition.

Chapter 24: Joining Forces

Ji Rong looked at the pale face of Dou Weiyi and nearly burst out laughing.

At this moment, her spiritual energy was depleted, and being able to use the third form, "Nirvana," was already her limit.

Although the phoenix flames were impressive to look at, they were merely an illusion, capable only of breaking throu...
