Chapter 35

Master Qi took out an old compass from his pocket, then walked around the box three times with the compass in hand, muttering to himself, looking very serious.

For a moment, no one spoke, their eyes fixed on him.

Only Old Zheng squinted and smiled, saying,

"Master Qi is a famous feng shui master in Chuzhou in recent decades. As long as it's a feng shui instrument, an enlightened Buddha treasure, or an incense and Taoist instrument, nothing can escape his eyes."

Upon hearing this, the many big bosses from Chuzhou all nodded in agreement.

However, Xing Zhong on the opposite side disagreed, sneering.

"What is he? He's far inferior to our Master Wu."

As soon as Xing Zhong said this, everyone's faces changed slightly. Master Qi even snorted, put away the compass, and said,

"My powers are limited; I can only tell that this treasure is extraordinary, but I don't know where its extraordinariness lies."

"Why don't we ask Master Wu to enlighten us!"

At this moment, the venerable Master Wu slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Master Qi, shook his head disdainfully, and made Master Qi's face turn red with anger.

"You are indeed of low cultivation; it's already quite good that you can see its extraordinariness."

His words were grand, and the many tycoons from Chuzhou all looked displeased. Master Qi represented them, but he was being humiliated.

Only Master Qi stood with his hands behind his back, sneering, waiting to see how Master Wu would embarrass himself.

He had just used an ancestral method to borrow the compass to deduce that this was a very powerful feng shui instrument, but he didn't know how to use or activate it. After decades of cultivation, he could only do this much. He didn't believe that the pretentious Master Wu could be any better.

Under the unfriendly gazes of everyone, Master Wu slowly stood up, walked to the Bagua plate, and stopped. He closed his eyes slightly and made a hand seal.

At this moment, everyone was shocked to see that Master Wu's sleeves were moving without wind, slowly bulging as if there was a fan inside.

"What is this?" Master Qi's face changed drastically, looking at the silver-haired old man in disbelief, "Entering the Dao?"

"Shh!"

Master Wu suddenly stomped his foot, exhaled, and the sound was like a thunderclap, startling everyone.

He pointed a finger at the Bagua plate and exhaled a white breath onto it. The Bagua plate began to vibrate, and eight symbols faintly appeared on it.

As soon as these eight symbols appeared, the entire hall became fresh and cool, as if it were spring rather than the scorching September.

"This... this..."

The eyes of everyone in the hall seemed to bulge out, staring fixedly at the vibrating Bagua plate.

"A feng shui instrument! A true feng shui instrument!"

The textile group's boss Yan, who had spoken earlier, said tremulously.

Lao Wei even slapped his thigh hard, his eyes fixed on the Bagua plate as if he had seen a beauty he couldn't take his eyes off.

Even the most composed Old Zheng couldn't help but tremble, a greedy look on his face.

Seeing everyone's joy, a hint of mysterious ridicule flashed in Master Wu's eyes. He retracted his hand seal, sat back down, and the vibration of the Bagua plate gradually stopped.

The temperature in the hall also gradually rose, returning to the heat.

"How about it? Now you know what a true master is, right?" Xing Zhong said with a smug smile.

At this moment, the tycoons from Chuzhou finally calmed down, looking at Xing Zhong and Master Wu with different eyes. Some had even decided to get to know Master Wu well.

He has real skills, far surpassing Master Qi.

Indeed, Master Qi smiled bitterly, stood up, and bowed respectfully, saying,

"I didn't expect to meet a high-level practitioner in person. I was showing off my skills in front of a master, making a fool of myself."

After Master Wu sat back down, he returned to his half-closed state, only slightly opening his eyes and lightly exclaiming,

"You even know about 'Entering the Dao.' It seems you haven't wasted your decades."

Master Qi could only smile bitterly. Since the other party was superior, he could only accept the scolding. He sighed and sat back down, looking as if he had aged several decades. After this, his reputation in Chuzhou, built over decades, was all lost.

The moment Master Wu took action, Chen Fan's eyes lit up, finally confirming some of his suspicions.

"This person actually has magical power inside his body?"

"Although the magical power is very little and of low quality, it is already a higher level than a martial artist's internal strength. By realm, he should be at the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment. Could this be a cultivator from China?"

Chen Fan was quite surprised.

However, the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment for Master Wu and for Chen Fan were completely different concepts.

If martial artists were vocational school students, then Master Wu was only equivalent to a junior college or a third-tier university. True cultivators were first-tier universities. And Chen Fan, one of the top cultivators, was a top university, even a top student!

Even if they were at the same realm, their combat power was vastly different.

"It seems that there have indeed been some cultivators' legacies on Earth. Whether it's the internal strength of martial artists or the magical power of Master Wu, they seem to come from the true essence techniques of cultivators. However, their legacies are too incomplete, only able to form this imitation version."

Thinking of this, Chen Fan couldn't help but shake his head.

He had thought he would meet a true cultivator, but it turned out to be just some residual legacy. It was like a primitive person finding a modern rifle and using it as a firewood stick, completely different from a true cultivator.

At this moment, Lao Wei's face was very grim.

His archenemy Xing Zhong had actually invited a true master! Even if he fought to the bitter end to get this feng shui instrument, he wouldn't know how to use it, and would probably have to seek Master Wu's help.

At this moment, Boss Lao spoke.

"Since everyone has seen the capabilities of this treasure, shouldn't we start bidding?"

As soon as he said this, Boss Yan couldn't wait to say, "I'll bid ten million!"

"I'll bid twenty million!"

"I'll bid twenty-five million."

Besides Lao Wei, Old Zheng, Boss Lao, and Xing Zhong, there were three or four other tycoons from Chuzhou, all top-notch billionaires.

Seeing the legendary feng shui instrument, they were willing to exchange their entire fortune for it.

Of course, their bidding was still restrained. Although the feng shui instrument was good, it couldn't compare to their businesses. So after the price reached twenty-five million, it only increased by one million at a time.

Boss Lao was so happy that his eyes were almost squeezed shut by his fat.

Seeing everyone competing, Lao Wei was torn. He coveted the feng shui instrument but didn't want to be blackmailed by Xing Zhong, truly in a difficult position.

"Hold on!"

At this moment, Xing Zhong suddenly interrupted the auction.

He pointed at Chen Fan and said,

"Both masters have shown their skills, but our Master Chen hasn't said a word."

"Why don't we wait for Master Chen's opinion before deciding the authenticity of this feng shui instrument?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar.

Master Wu had already activated the feng shui instrument, and everyone had felt its power, like a refreshing spring breeze, making them feel extremely comfortable. If they stayed in the field formed by the feng shui instrument for a long time, they would at least be free from all diseases, if not live longer.

Now, letting a young man determine the authenticity of the feng shui instrument was a laughing matter.

At this moment, everyone looked at Chen Fan and Lao Wei with strange expressions, knowing that Xing Zhong was trying to embarrass Lao Wei.

Lao Wei's face was ashen, and he said nothing.

"Ha ha."

A woman standing behind Old Zheng suddenly laughed.

"Xiao Yun, what's wrong?" Old Zheng frowned, displeased.

She was his distant niece, who had a falling out with her parents over a love affair after graduating from university. Old Zheng had taken her under his wing to cultivate her for a few years before sending her to a branch company as a department manager.

She was usually quite sensible, capable, and had never made a mistake. Why did she laugh in front of so many important people?

The woman was dressed in a professional manner, clearly the leader of Xu Rongfei's circle, 'Han Yun.'

When Chen Fan entered, Han Yun was surprised. Although she knew Chen Fan had a connection with the Wei family, she didn't expect him to appear as a master appraiser, the stark contrast making her laugh.

Seeing Old Zheng's question, Han Yun could only explain in a low voice.

Although her voice was low, the hall wasn't large, and everyone could basically hear.

Upon hearing that Chen Fan was just a student at an Ivy League high school and worked part-time at a bar, everyone's eyes showed a hint of disdain, and Xing Zhong even laughed out loud. Lao Wei was so angry that his eyes turned red, glaring at 'Uncle Lin,' blaming him for bringing such a joker.

"Ah, what a mess." Old Zheng shook his head and sighed.

At his level, he was on equal terms with mayors and secretaries. If Wei Changgeng were here, he would have to treat him with respect, but Wei Changgeng's daughter was a few levels lower. As for Wei Changgeng's daughter's friend, what was he?

In such a solemn occasion involving tens of millions of transactions, letting a bar worker be the appraiser, Lao Wei had completely disgraced the Wei family.

'Xing Zhong won't let this go easily.' Old Zheng frowned inwardly.

Sure enough, Xing Zhong slapped his thigh and laughed, saying,

"Who says a bar worker can't be an extraordinary person? I think Master Chen is a great person."

"Master Chen, don't listen to their nonsense, just appraise it. We'll see your skills!"

As he spoke, the mockery on his face couldn't be suppressed, and the tycoons from Chuzhou were both angry and amused. This time, Lao Wei not only disgraced himself but also brought shame to the upper echelons of Chuzhou.

Only Han Yun regretted it in her heart.

By revealing Chen Fan's background, she not only made him look foolish in public but also made the Wei family dislike him.

Facing everyone's contempt and ridicule, Chen Fan now looked at Xing Zhong with a smile.

"Are you sure you want me to appraise the authenticity of this feng shui instrument?"
