The sudden turn of events was so unexpected that even the battle-hardened little charlatan couldn't help but be momentarily stunned. He couldn't resist asking, "What Talisman Jade?" Zeng Jingxuan also seemed surprised. "You don't know? The jade pendant hanging around your neck is a ritual instrument made only by the true heirs of Longhu Mountain. It has talismanic inscriptions carved into the jade, which can ward off evil and protect the wearer. The reason you survived the encounter with the Yellow Husk…-

Noises came from afar, chaotic and sharp, like a woman screaming at the top of her lungs. Wei Yang's heart raced. He felt as though he had heard this voice before. Who was that screaming woman? What was she shouting? Gradually, amidst the hysterical cries, two figures vaguely appeared, somewhat hazy and swaying, hard to make out clearly. It looked like one person was choking another. The screams became intermittent, turning into dying moans. Was it the woman being choked? Why was she being choked… Wei…

In the afternoon, Wei Yang and Sun Chengfeng went to the scenic villa area in the suburbs to inspect the feng shui of Mr. Li's new home. The old charlatan praised Wei Yang's new outfit extravagantly and grandiosely bestowed upon himself the title of "famous master." Different clients required different approaches, and while there were few like the blunt and simple-minded Mr. Wang, for high-end intellectuals, a well-spoken and knowledgeable apprentice who was proficient in feng shui was far more useful than…

The next day, the money arrived in the account. Not only was there the promised 300,000 yuan from Boss Wang, but an additional 100,000 yuan was included as a "consultation fee" for the master's guidance. Combined with the earlier earnings from the Bronze turtle and the Jade Lotus Platform, this single deal had brought in over 1.4 million yuan. For Jieshui Studio, which often went three years without a major job, this was a substantial windfall. The old swindler, Sun Chengfeng, was beaming with joy. He…

The following week was naturally a flurry of activity as they prepared to close the net. While the boss, Mr. Wang, appeared coarse, he was a seasoned businessman and not as foolish as he looked. He had sent his men to survey the "ritual instrument market" for a sampling. However, Cultural Street was only so big, and whose ears and eyes could be sharper than those within the circle? In the end, Mr. Wang obediently fell into the trap and, together with Sun Chengfeng, purchased the Lotus Platform. Wei Yang…

Upon clearly seeing the contents of the box, Wei Yang's eyes lit up instantly. "A Jade Lotus Platform?" In the center of the box lay a lotus platform carved from jade. The so-called lotus platform has two interpretations in Buddhism and Taoism. In Buddhism, it is the Nine-Grade Lotus Platform, and in Taoism, it is the Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform. Both are legendary platforms upon which Bodhisattvas and ancient masters are said to sit, representing the unity of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism—"Red…

Leaving Jieshui Studio and walking west along the main street for about ten minutes, the antique charm of Cultural Street was left behind, replaced by a cluster of low-rise residential buildings. This was the old district that had yet to be redeveloped, mostly consisting of tube-shaped buildings from the 1970s and 1980s. There was no proper urban planning here, and the buildings were crammed tightly together, creating a chaotic yet vibrant atmosphere. By now, it was completely dark, and the streets were…

"Master Sun! This old fool truly didn't recognize Mount Tai before his eyes! I was far too disrespectful this morning! I must ask you to take a careful look at my cemetery. Otherwise, I really can't rest easy..." When they met again, Boss Wang's previously insincere, perfunctory smile was gone, replaced by a face full of genuine fear. The first thing he did upon entering was bow and apologize. Sun Chengfeng smiled lightly. "Boss Wang, you're too kind. Feng shui is also about fate. Since you've placed…

Returning from the remote suburban cemetery to the city took over half an hour. Along the way, Assistant Song called specifically to remind the driver, who, as a result, treated the two passengers with twice the deference he had shown on the way there, delivering them back to the studio with an almost reverential attitude. Master Sun's personal studio was located on Fanglin Road in the eastern part of the city, near the well-known antique trading market. The location was rather unique—a quaint,…

These days, if you ask people on the street what business is the most profitable, eight out of ten would answer: real estate. And why not? With the economy booming and prices skyrocketing, housing prices have risen accordingly. Borrowing money from banks, issuing IOUs to construction workers, setting up a sales center, and selling pre-sale properties to recoup costs—as long as you can navigate the relevant departments, the real estate industry is essentially a game of making something out of nothing.…
