Chapter 99

PS: Sorry, I have to work overtime today, so the chapter that was supposed to be updated earlier has only been updated now. I apologize for keeping all the readers waiting. There will be another chapter updated later tonight, and I will do it as soon as possible. Please rest assured, dear readers.

"Thank you for your kind regard, Master Fu. I am willing to join." Su Jiu thought for a moment and immediately agreed. Joining the Xuan Society is a good thing, so why not agree?

Since he has already embarked on the path of feng shui, it is inevitable that he will have to interact with other feng shui practitioners. There is no better platform than the Xuan Society for such interactions.

Su Jiu was well aware that ever since the golden compass appeared in his mind, his fate had already changed. Ever since he learned the secrets hidden in the Luo family's compass, his path was no longer under his control.

The Su family, an ordinary yet special clan, as the sole heir of the Su family, if he has the ability and the talent, then the responsibility will naturally fall on him.

"Alright, if you have time, come to Guangzhou. I'll register you officially then." Fu Lin laughed heartily after receiving Su Jiu's affirmative response.

"Little brother, have you already entered the Qi Nourishment realm?" Fu Lin paused for a moment, then asked Su Jiu with great curiosity.

"Yes, I am fortunate to have entered the Qi Nourishment realm." Su Jiu was not surprised that Fu Lin could see through his cultivation level. From the moment this old man approached him, he could sense that the old man's cultivation level was definitely higher than his own.

This was because he could not sense the old man's specific cultivation level.

Of course, Su Jiu did not specifically probe. The golden compass in his mind had recorded some detection techniques, but Su Jiu did not use them.

"Truly remarkable, the young generation!" Fu Lin said with admiration.

Earlier in the third carriage, he was observing from the side, originally preparing to take action himself, but unexpectedly, Su Jiu took the lead.

When he saw Su Jiu use his mental power to directly dispel the煞qi of the middle-aged man, he was shocked. This young man, at such a young age, had already reached the level where his mental power could be externalized, entering the Qi Nourishment realm.

In the feng shui world, the Qi Nourishment realm is a significant milestone. Before the Qi Nourishment realm, the qi in the body cannot be externalized. After entering the Qi Nourishment realm, the qi transforms into mental power, which can be externalized.

This marks the true entry into the profession of a feng shui master.

This is the most important step in becoming a feng shui master.

Although the feng shui tradition appears to be flourishing on the surface, Fu Lin was well aware that this was just a superficial phenomenon. Over the five thousand years of Chinese history, the feng shui tradition, like other ancient cultural traditions, has declined.

Many of the feng shui master's lineages have been broken.

This has led to the current situation where high-level feng shui masters are few and far between.

Low-level feng shui masters are widespread, and even some fraudsters are passing themselves off as feng shui masters, further misleading the public about the profession.

Fu Lin dedicated his life to changing this situation, which was his lifelong goal.

Now, seeing Su Jiu, he was greatly shocked.

At such a young age, to have such cultivation, how could he not be surprised?

After a conversation with Master Fu, Su Jiu felt a sense of change that had occurred over the past few months. As the person experiencing the changes, he might not have felt it so strongly, but looking back, he realized how much he had changed.

"It seems that a quiet university life is impossible," Su Jiu muttered to himself.

He would certainly finish his university studies, but living like an ordinary college student for four years would not be so simple.

He had already embarked on the path of feng shui, and his future life was destined to be anything but ordinary.

After a few hours of travel, Su Jiu arrived in Nanchang as the sky was already darkening.

As the capital city of Jiangxi Province, Nanchang is one of the 35 major cities in China. It has been known for its rich natural resources and talented people since ancient times. Since the Western Han Dynasty, Nanchang has had a history of over 2,200 years and a deep cultural heritage.

It is also known as the Hero City and can be called the City of Lights.

Su Jiu's home, of course, was not in the provincial capital.

However, since it was already late, Su Jiu decided to rest for the night and return home the next day.

Of course, there was another important reason for staying overnight.

He wanted to visit the night market of this City of Lights.

This trip home was to celebrate his grandfather's birthday. Although the birthday gift had already been prepared in Xiang City, Su Jiu still wanted to look around the night market here, hoping to find a more suitable gift.

After all, Xiang City could not compare to Nanchang, one of the 35 major cities in China.

There might be some pleasant surprises here.

Speaking of Nanchang's night market, it can also be called the Nanchang Antiques Market.

In the 1990s, located opposite the philatelic building on Huanhu Road, by the South Lake, every day at three in the morning, a group of vendors with lanterns would start gathering on the roadside. These people were known locally as "Luohans," and they were the pioneers of the antiques trade.

The South Lake area can be considered the earliest formed antiques market in Nanchang. Although the formation of Tengwang Pavilion made this area less prosperous, as an insider, Su Jiu knew that the night market here had not disappeared but had been preserved from generation to generation.

It had also formed a certain scale and a fixed customer base.

These were things that ordinary people did not know.

The reason Su Jiu planned to stay in Nanchang for a night was because of this.

He still wanted to try his luck. As a feng shui family, Su Jiu knew that his grandfather would definitely prefer feng shui tools or talismans.

Compared to the jade peach he bought in Xiang City for over 200,000 yuan, they were on a completely different level.

After getting off the train, Su Jiu directly took a taxi to a three-star hotel near the South Lake, rested for a while, had a light dinner, and then washed up and went to bed. He had to get up early at three in the morning the next day.

The night passed without incident.

The alarm on his phone rang.

After washing up, Su Jiu picked up a small briefcase containing 200,000 yuan in cash.

He was ready to visit the night market and try his luck.

The night market was no longer in its original location. The new location was in a small alley near the South Lake.

Su Jiu had been keeping an eye on this new location for a long time.

He walked to the location.

It was already a few minutes past three in the morning, and the night market was already bustling with people.

As usual, each stall had a small light, and each person browsing the night market held a powerful flashlight.

People were moving around the stalls, casually looking for items that caught their eye.

Su Jiu was no exception. After entering the night market, he began to observe.
