Chapter 45

After nearly three hours, Su Jiu had already purchased most of the items he needed.

Su Jiu calculated that the items in his backpack had already cost him over thirty thousand yuan.

A high-performance flashlight alone cost over four thousand yuan.

These things were all very expensive.

Fortunately, Old Li had given him two hundred thousand yuan last time; otherwise, the issue of money would have been a major problem for Su Jiu.

Su Jiu was very clear in his mind that the Niu Shen Cave in Chen Family Village was absolutely filled with danger, and he needed to be well-prepared, whether it was modern equipment or essential feng shui items.

A feng shui layout with a true dragon's lair was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

Su Jiu did a mental calculation. There was only one item left to purchase, but he didn't know if it was available in this Dafang Xian city.

What Su Jiu still needed was a type of insect.

The tomb in the true dragon's lair was naturally fraught with danger.

At his current initial stage of Qi cultivation, it was difficult for Su Jiu to deal with the dangers, and he had no absolute confidence in solving the Niu Shen Cave problem.

Therefore, Su Jiu had to rely on some external forces.

The insect Su Jiu was looking for was called the Sun-Shielding Spider, a special type of spider.

Its body length was about ten to fifty millimeters, with a golden color, hairy abdomen, and a round shape. Its front appendages were similar to those of a scorpion, and it was extremely greedy, though not venomous. However, being bitten by a Sun-Shielding Spider was very painful.

This type of spider generally lived in Africa, Southeast Asia, or western China.

Su Jiu didn't know if he could find it in the flower and bird market in Dafang Xian city.

If that didn't work, he would have to go into the wild to find it himself.

As for why Su Jiu was looking for this insect, there was a reason.

The tomb in the true dragon's lair had many dangers.

For the current Su Jiu, this was an undeniable problem. When he heard his Uncle San's request, he had already thought about this issue.

Originally, Su Jiu didn't plan to go directly to the Niu Shen Cave and wanted to wait until his cultivation level was higher. However, he later received a message in his mind, which made him change his mind.

Indeed, it was about the Sun-Shielding Spider.

In ancient feng shui, there was a special technique of controlling living things with the mind.

The "things" referred to here were not objects but living creatures.

Feng shui was a very broad field.

In ancient times, many techniques were developed.

Controlling living things with the mind was one of them.

After careful consideration, Su Jiu found that the only suitable creature for him to control in Sichuan was the Sun-Shielding Spider.

In the true dragon's lair, having a guide and not having a guide were two entirely different matters.

The level of safety was also completely different.

Therefore, Su Jiu had to find the Sun-Shielding Spider.

Su Jiu took a taxi to the flower and bird market and began carefully observing the shops on both sides of the road.

There were countless exotic flowers, plants, insects, and birds.

However, finding the Sun-Shielding Spider was very difficult, and even finding a store that sold spiders was a challenge.

Indeed, in this society, who would sell spiders?

After wandering for two to three hours, Su Jiu still couldn't find it, having almost covered the entire flower and bird market.

Just as Su Jiu was about to give up and leave, his phone in his pocket rang.

This was his new phone? Su Jiu was taken aback. He had two phones: one was a cheap old phone from home, and the other was a new smartphone he had bought a few days ago.

It was the new smartphone that rang.

Su Jiu was surprised. Not many people knew this new phone number, and he hadn't made it public. Who could be calling him at this time?

"Hello! Who is this?" Su Jiu looked at the unfamiliar number, thought for a moment, and pressed the answer button.

"Master Su! It's me, Old Li. I wonder if Master Su is free tonight. I'd like to invite you for a simple dinner." A cheerful voice came from the other end of the line, and it was Old Li.

Su Jiu immediately knew who it was. It was the Old Li from the last time he went to Panlong Manor to solve the feng shui problem.

"Sorry, Old Li, I'm not in Xiang City right now. I'm in Sichuan, dealing with some matters, so I can't accept your invitation. Thank you for your kindness, Old Li."

"In Sichuan?" Old Li said with a puzzled tone. He hadn't expected Su Jiu to be in Sichuan. According to his understanding, Master Su was studying at Xiang University, and it wasn't a holiday, so why would he be there?

"That's right. I'm handling some feng shui matters in Dafang Xian, Sichuan. I'm really sorry about this." Su Jiu hadn't expected Old Li to invite him to dinner at this time. After some thought, Su Jiu guessed that Old Li was probably inviting him to help someone with feng shui.

He was just a student, and there couldn't be any other reason.

Su Jiu was clear in his mind that the reason he had taken on the feng shui problem at Panlong Manor last time was to achieve this goal.

To become a feng shui master, one needed ample resources and funds to support cultivation, and entering the circle of wealthy people was Su Jiu's first step.

"Since that's the case, I won't disturb Master Su. When you return, please contact me. I have a good friend who would like to meet you. When you come back, I hope you can grace us with your presence."

Hearing Old Li say this, Su Jiu smiled inwardly. It was indeed as he had guessed.

After a few more words with Old Li, he hung up the phone.

At that moment,

"Bang!" Someone collided with Su Jiu, and a wooden jar fell to the ground.

"Oops! My things." The person who collided with Su Jiu was a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion, looking somewhat listless.

However, the middle-aged man didn't pay attention to Su Jiu and immediately crouched down to pick up the wooden jar.

"Sorry, I'm so..." Su Jiu also reacted at this moment and quickly apologized.

However, before Su Jiu could finish his apology, his eyes were drawn to the wooden jar in the middle-aged man's hands.

"Is this a bug jar?" Su Jiu asked in surprise.

"Yes, how did you know this is a bug jar?" The middle-aged man only then noticed that the person he had collided with was a young man, and he was even more shocked.

"Is it a spider?" Su Jiu smiled and continued to ask.

The middle-aged man was stunned by Su Jiu's question.

"If I'm not mistaken, is it a Sun-Shielding Spider inside?" Su Jiu asked again.

At that moment, the middle-aged man's shock was almost indescribable.
