Chapter 26

Qin Yu's inheritance comes from Mr. Zhuge, and compared to He Ping, some of his theories differ from modern feng shui, a point he discovered during their discussions over the past week.

However, despite some differences in minor details, Qin Yu and He Ping finally agreed on three places where the dragon veins might be located.

"Facing the mountain with the metal direction, this place is the most likely to have a dragon vein," Qin Yu said, looking at the dragon-seeking compass in his hand and pointing forward.

"Indeed, the distant mountain range has its rises and falls, its thickness and thinness, its openings and closings, and it does have the shape of a true dragon," He Ping agreed with a nod.

"Master He, Master Qin, do you mean the dragon vein is in this mountain range ahead?" Mo Yongxin, standing behind, asked with a joyful expression on her delicate face. The past week had been tough, with everyone camping out in the open.

"Miss Mo, it's just a possibility. We can't guarantee it without a thorough investigation!" Qin Yu turned to Mo Yongxin and said, "Finding a dragon vein isn't that easy. Besides having the shape of a dragon, it must also possess the principles of qi, sand, water, direction, and position, all of which are essential."

"Then let's hurry up. Damn, this place is driving me crazy!" Mo Yongxing complained, having had the hardest time of the week, climbing mountains and sleeping in tents, which had made the young master very impatient.

The group continued forward and soon arrived at the last mountain range marked on the map. The mountains were towering and lush, stretching endlessly with undulating terrain.

He Ping gazed at the mountain range for a while, exchanged a look with Qin Yu, and then took off his backpack. He pulled out a piece of dark red wood, which was unlike ordinary wood, with intricate patterns carved on it. He Ping set down his backpack and walked forward alone, holding the wood.

Qin Yu gestured for everyone to stay put and then, along with the others, watched He Ping. He Ping walked to an open area at the foot of the mountain, raised the wood high, and with a loud shout, plunged it into the ground.

"What is he doing?" Mo Yongxing asked, puzzled, looking at Qin Yu.

"Master He is checking if there is a dragon vein beneath the ground."

"Can he determine if there's a dragon vein just by sticking a piece of wood in the ground?" Mo Yongxing sneered, his face showing skepticism. After so many days, even though he knew nothing about feng shui, he had learned that finding a dragon vein was not easy.

"Don't underestimate this piece of wood. It's not ordinary. In our feng shui practice, it's called a 'Dragon-Seeking Wood.' It's made from a hundred-year-old agarwood from Kunlun Mountain, which is why it has a dark luster. All the dragon veins in the world originate from Kunlun Mountain, and the agarwood from Kunlun is the most sensitive to the aura of dragon veins. You'll see in a moment."

Qin Yu explained that the Dragon-Seeking Wood was widely used by ancient feng shui masters and was an essential tool for finding dragon veins. The patterns carved on the wood were not ordinary but special diagrams used by feng shui masters to locate dragon veins.

After two hours, He Ping pulled the Dragon-Seeking Wood out of the ground and carefully examined its changes. After a long while, a smile appeared on his face, and he shouted, "Yes, there is indeed a dragon vein here!"

Hearing He Ping's words, everyone was elated. After searching for so long, they finally had a lead. The group quickly approached, and He Ping handed the Dragon-Seeking Wood to Qin Yu.

"The bottom of the Dragon-Seeking Wood is slightly heavier and darker," Qin Yu observed, then sniffed it and continued, "The scent at the bottom is strong. There is no doubt that there is a dragon vein here."

"There are so many peaks here. Even if we confirm the presence of a dragon vein, it won't be easy to find it!" Mo Yongxin looked at the undulating mountain range, her eyebrows furrowed.

"Miss Mo, it's up to Brother Qin now," He Ping laughed and pointed at Qin Yu, saying, "Brother Qin, it's your turn to show us your skills."

Qin Yu nodded. His dragon-seeking compass was the tool for finding dragon veins. With the general area already determined, using the compass to locate the exact position of the dragon vein would not be difficult.

Qin Yu took out the dragon-seeking compass, sat cross-legged on the ground, and placed the compass on the ground. He formed a special hand seal and sat still, focusing his mind.

"This broken compass is a magical tool?" Mo Yongxing stared at the damaged compass on the ground, puzzled. In his understanding, a magical tool should be radiant and grand to match its status. The compass in front of him was dark and damaged, showing no signs of being magical.

Mo Yongxin's eyebrows twitched, and she glanced at her brother, who quickly shut his mouth. He Ping, on the other hand, paid no attention to Mo Yongxing's words and stared intently at the compass. He could only confirm that it was a magical tool but was unsure of its specific function.

"Dragon-seeking compass, rise!"

Qin Yu maintained his seated position for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Suddenly, his eyes opened, and he changed his hand gesture, pointing at the compass. As he did, the compass emitted a loud hum, and a visible five-clawed golden dragon roared and burst out from the damaged corner, rushing in a specific direction.

"This... What did I just see!"

Mo Yongxing's exclamation brought everyone back from the strange phenomenon. The bodyguards, in particular, were momentarily distracted by the appearance of the golden dragon, losing their vigilance. If an enemy had attacked at that moment, they would have had no time to react.

Mo Yongxin's lips parted slightly, and her delicate face still showed shock. This was the magical tool of a feng shui master. No wonder Qin Yu was unwilling to sell it. Regardless of its function, the five-clawed golden dragon, a symbol deeply rooted in Chinese culture, made the compass invaluable.

"Dragon-seeking compass, such a magical tool really exists in the world. It seems Master was right; magical tools are only recognized by those with a special connection. Qin Yu, it's fortunate that the dragon-seeking compass ended up in your hands. Otherwise, I would have only considered it an ordinary magical tool."

At that moment, He Ping looked at Qin Yu with admiration. Being able to recognize and use the dragon-seeking compass showed that Qin Yu's expertise in feng shui was on par with his own.

"Master He, I just happened to discover it was a dragon-seeking compass," Qin Yu said, looking embarrassed. He didn't want to be the center of attention. Quietly making a fortune suited his personality better. Moreover, activating the compass had drained his energy, and his face had turned slightly pale.

"With the guidance of the dragon-seeking compass, finding the exact location of the dragon vein won't be difficult!" He Ping immediately followed the direction of the golden dragon, and Mo Yongxing quickly followed.

"Hey, give me a hand!" Qin Yu, feeling weak and powerless, was much better mentally than the first time he activated the compass.

"Uh... Thanks!" Just as Qin Yu was about to complain, a pair of fair hands reached out. Qin Yu looked up to see Mo Yongxin standing beside him, offering her hand, having noticed his condition.

Qin Yu didn't hesitate, grabbed Mo Yongxin's hand, and used it to stand up. However, the weight of his body caused her to lose balance, and she stumbled forward, colliding with Qin Yu as he was getting up.

Feeling the soft, elastic touch, Qin Yu's face brushed against a soft and bouncy area. Before he could fully stand, he was pushed back down. Without thinking, he quickly grabbed the person in front of him, but his hands landed awkwardly on Mo Yongxin's buttocks, feeling an incredible elasticity. He immediately withdrew his hands and fell to the ground.

Mo Yongxin's cheeks turned red, and a warm sensation spread through her body as Qin Yu's face brushed against her chest. The slight movement of his head against her chest sent a tingling sensation to her brain, making her feel weak and experiencing an indescribable sensation.

"Ouch!"

Seeing the guy on the ground pretending to be confused, Mo Yongxin felt even more annoyed. She had never been touched by a man in those two places, and now they had been touched by this guy. She glanced around, relieved to see that everyone had already followed He Ping and no one had noticed the situation.

"What are you still sitting on the ground for? Everyone's gone!" Mo Yongxin glared at Qin Yu and walked forward.

"Didn't get angry? Lucky me!" Qin Yu was indeed pretending to be confused. The moment he fell, he had become fully aware of what he had done. He had touched the two most sensitive areas of a woman, even though it was unintentional, he feared she wouldn't believe him. So, he decided to play it safe and pretend to be unconscious.

Mo Yongxin walked away quickly, her tight jeans hugging her shapely buttocks, which swayed gently as she walked. Thinking about the soft, elastic touch, Qin Yu felt a surge of heat in his abdomen, wishing he could grab and squeeze that buttock. However, this thought was fleeting, and he quickly shook his head to dispel the absurd idea.

"Hey, what were you and my sister doing back there? Why is her face so red?" As Qin Yu got up and caught up with the group, Mo Yongxing walked beside him and nudged his shoulder, asking.

"Nothing, just discussing the dragon vein," Qin Yu replied.

"Trying to fool me? My sister's face turning red because of a discussion about the dragon vein?" Mo Yongxing didn't believe it and was about to ask more when Mo Yongxin turned around and saw the two of them acting suspiciously. Her eyes darted over.

"Cough, cough, really, nothing else, just discussing the dragon vein!" Qin Yu, caught between the sister and brother's gazes, felt helpless and quickly left, deciding it was more comfortable to be with Master He.
