Top-notch Urban Evil Cultivator

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone frowned.

When a new company opens, it's all about getting good luck.

Why did this person immediately say it was a very bad omen?

Isn't this cursing someone?

How unlucky!

Su Yurou's face darkened, and her eyes turned hostile.

Xue Hong was also somewhat embarrassed, her smile freezing on her face. She was the one who had invited the person, and this made her feel uncomfortable.

An Lan's expression remained calm. Over the years, she had encountered countless swindlers like this.

No wonder.

Even the little girl waiting for her tea to be made stared wide-eyed at them, looking over with curiosity.

For a moment, everyone felt that this old man was no good.

They're just scammers trying to cause trouble!

Master Zhou, however, seemed oblivious to everyone's gaze, leisurely sipping his tea, showing no sign of urgency, as if he had everything under control.

His calm demeanor gave him the air of a wise man, making it difficult for others to fathom his true nature.

Lin Xuan smiled, unconcerned:

"Oh? Master, what do you mean?"

He had just glanced at it, and the location of the mural was indeed not auspicious, but it was by no means the ominous sign he was talking about.

He wanted to see what this little old man could say.

Master Zhou blew on the teacup, took a sip, and then put down the teacup and stood up.

With a flick of his long sleeves, he walked unhurriedly to the mural.

He pointed to the mural, his voice loud and clear:

"President Lin, please take a look. This painting is a landscape painting. Mountains represent support, and water represents wealth. It is an auspicious omen."

"But look at the direction of this mountain. It leans outward, as if it's about to fall over. This is called a mountain tilting, which means that one's support is unstable, one's career will be full of ups and downs, and one is easily betrayed."

"Look at the direction of the water flow; it flows inwards, which seems to attract wealth, but in reality, it forms a 'returning evil' that attracts petty people and easily leads to gossip and disputes."

And you know what? This week, the master talked non-stop, one thing after another.

"And the painting is hung directly opposite the main entrance, which is like a mountain in front of you when you enter. This is considered to block the path, the path to wealth, and the flow of good fortune."

"With all three evil stars present, what else could it be but a terrible omen? Such a layout can lead to financial loss at best, and physical harm at worst. One must be extremely careful!"

His voice was much louder when he said the last sentence.

His words, combined with his earlier speech, had indeed intimidated the group.

The group fell silent.

It seems... to make sense?

Only Lin Xuan smiled and nodded.

This week's "master" is indeed not a complete fraud; he at least knows a little about feng shui.

But these statements are just the most basic introductory knowledge, which might fool laymen, but they are far from sufficient in front of him.

Lin Xuan stood up, walked to the mural, and casually pointed to a few potted plants placed next to it.

"The master is right. But what if we moved these potted plants a bit?"

Master Zhou was taken aback, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Lin Xuan continued, speaking casually:

"Look, this potted green plant has been moved to the left side of the door; this is called 'drawing energy into the space.'"

"Pothos belongs to the wood element, and wood represents growth and development. Placing it at the entrance can attract auspicious energy into the house. Moving this money tree to the window is called 'bringing wealth into the house.'"

"The money tree belongs to the metal element, which represents accumulation. Placing it by the window can attract wealth from all directions."

Lin Xuan walked to the middle and tapped his finger lightly.

"These two potted plants, one on the left and one on the right, form a protective arrangement of the 'Azure Dragon and White Tiger,' with the Azure Dragon on the left and the White Tiger on the right, representing a balance of Yin and Yang."

"In this way, the mountain collapse was stabilized by the Azure Dragon, the returning evil was suppressed by the White Tiger, and the obstruction was resolved by guiding the energy. The entire situation changed from extremely ominous to..."

He paused, looked at Master Zhou, and uttered four words with a smile.

"May your house be filled with gold and jade."

Master Zhou was stunned.

He stared at the potted plants, his mind racing as he deduced the layout Lin Xuan had described.

He closed his eyes, calculated with his fingers, and imagined the changed feng shui trends.

The pothos attracts energy, the money tree brings in wealth, the Azure Dragon and White Tiger guard the land, the mountains are stable and the water gathers, the energy flows continuously, forming a perfect cycle.

Wealth, fortune, and luck all converge here, flowing endlessly...

This truly is the legendary "Golden Jade Abundance" arrangement!

this...

How is that possible!

This game!

He had only seen records of it in ancient books, and had very few seen anyone actually make it!

What was even more unexpected was that such a young man could set up this scheme with just a casual gesture and a casual remark!

The scariest thing is that he clearly changed his mind at the last minute!

How...how is this possible!

After a while, the old man trembled and looked at Lin Xuan in shock.

His mouth opened and closed repeatedly, and after a long while, he finally managed to utter a single sentence:

"No, impossible! How could someone so young know about...this legendary layout! I've studied feng shui for forty years, and I've only ever seen the 'Golden Jade Abundance' layout once! Who...who is your teacher?"

Lin Xuan smiled but didn't respond.

He sat back down on the sofa, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and sat down leisurely.

"By the way, Master Zhou, could you perhaps tell us about Mr. An's and my fates? Since we're here, why not let us witness your true abilities?"

By now, Lin Xuan was certain that this Master Zhou was not a complete fraud; he did possess certain abilities.

But it can only be considered second-rate.

He has some real skills, enough to fool ordinary people.

But in some real situations, it's still not enough.

No wonder Xue Hong has believed in him all these years.

They definitely have some skills.

So he decided to test him again to see where his limits were.

Master Zhou was covered in sweat, and his back was soaked.

But he felt that since things had come to this point, if he didn't show some tricks up his sleeve, he might really lose his reputation today!

Two hundred thousand yuan is a small matter, but reputation is a big deal!

He gritted his teeth and nodded:

"Alright! I'll make a fool of myself today!"

As he spoke, he asked for An Lan's birth date and time.

Then he pulled out a bunch of things from his large clothes: tortoise shells, copper coins...

They are all things that look very mysterious.

An Lan glanced at Lin Xuan, and seeing him nod, she gave it to him.

Master Zhou took it and began to calculate with his fingers.

He closed his eyes, muttered incantations, rapidly pinched with one hand, and shook the tortoise shell in the other, sweat pouring down his forehead.

As he calculated, he couldn't help but glance at An Lan, his gaze growing increasingly serious and terrified.

three minutes.

five minutes.

Ten minutes have passed.

The old man's hands began to tremble, his breathing became rapid, and his face grew paler and paler, as if he had seen a ghost.

He was shocked to discover that he couldn't even calculate An Lan's fate!

Her birth chart was shrouded in a thick fog, impossible to see through, like looking through frosted glass.

If I had to put it into words, I could only vaguely sense that this little girl possessed an extremely heavy yin energy, so heavy that, logically speaking...

They shouldn't have survived!

With yin energy penetrating to the bones, one should have died long ago, so how could one possibly be alive now?

And they're still alive and well?

Is it...

Is she not human?

In that instant, he felt his body grow ice-cold to the bone, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, chilled from head to toe.
