Chapter 26 - Dragon Gazing Wood

Qin Yu's inheritance comes from Mr. Zhuge. Compared to He Ping, some of his theories differ from the current Feng Shui studies, which he discovered during their discussions over the past week.

However, the essence remains unchanged. Despite minor discrepancies in certain aspects, Qin Yu and He Ping finally agreed on three locations with dragon veins.

"Geng Metal faces the mountain. This place is the most likely to have a dragon vein," Qin Yu glanced at the divination compass in his hand and pointed ahead.

"Indeed, the distant mountain range has peaks and valleys, varying in thickness and intricacy. It even resembles the shape of a true dragon," He Ping nodded in agreement.

"Master He, Master Qin, are you suggesting that this mountain range ahead has a dragon vein?" Mo Yongxin, who was trailing behind, overheard their conversation. A hint of joy flashed across her delicate face. The past week had been arduous for everyone, enduring hardships and sleeping in the open.

"Miss Mo, it's only a possibility. We haven't conducted a thorough on-site survey, so we can't guarantee it yet!" Qin Yu turned around and cautioned Mo Yongxin. Finding a dragon vein is not that easy. It requires not only the presence of a dragon shape but also the convergence of qi, sand, water, orientation, and other essential elements.

"Well, let's move on then. Damn it, this place is suffocating me!" Mo Yongxing grumbled on the side. He had been the most uncomfortable one throughout the week, climbing mountains and wading through water all day and sleeping in a tent at night. Young Master Mo was already impatient.

The group continued forward and soon reached the last mountain range marked on the map. It stood tall and lush, with continuous undulating peaks and valleys.

After gazing at the mountain range for a while, He Ping and Qin Yu exchanged a glance. He Ping then untied his backpack and pulled out a piece of dark red wood. This wood was different from ordinary timber, with intricate carvings covering its surface. He Ping dropped his backpack and walked forward, holding the piece of wood.

Qin Yu turned around and gestured for everyone to stay put. Their gazes, along with Qin Yu's, focused on He Ping. They watched as He Ping walked alone in the open space at the foot of the mountain range, raised the wooden piece in his hand, and shouted loudly. The wood penetrated the ground by an inch.

"What is he doing?" Mo Yongxing looked puzzled as he observed from the side, turning to Qin Yu and asking.

"He Ping is determining whether there is a dragon vein beneath this spot."

"Can you confirm the presence of a dragon vein by sticking a piece of wood into the ground?" Mo Yongxing raised an eyebrow, expressing skepticism. Even though he knew little about Feng Shui after all these days, he had grasped the difficulty of finding dragon veins through his exposure to deceptive practices.

"Don't underestimate this piece of wood. It's not an ordinary one. In our Feng Shui field, it has a special name: Dragon Gazing Wood. This wood is made from the hundred-year-old agarwood of Kunlun Mountain. That's why it appears slightly darker. Kunlun Mountain is known for producing dragon veins, and this agarwood is most sensitive to the aura of dragon veins. You'll understand soon enough," Qin Yu explained confidently.

Qin Yu explained that Dragon Gazing Wood had wide applications in ancient Feng Shui practices and was an essential tool for finding dragon veins and determining auspicious locations. Moreover, the intricate patterns carved on the Dragon Gazing Wood were not ordinary; they were special charts used by Feng Shui practitioners for locating dragon veins and analyzing the flow of energy.

After He Ping inserted the Dragon Gazing Wood into the ground for about two quarters of an hour, he finally reached out and carefully observed the changes in the wood. After a while, a happy expression appeared on his face as he shouted towards the others, "That's right, there is indeed a presence of a dragon vein here!"

Upon hearing He Ping's words, the group became excited. After searching for so long, they finally had some progress. They quickly approached, and He Ping handed the Dragon Gazing Wood directly to Qin Yu.

"The bottom of the Dragon Gazing Wood feels slightly heavier, and the color is even darker," Qin Yu observed, then brought it close to his nose and sniffed. He continued, "The fragrance emanating from the bottom is strong. There is no doubt that there is a dragon vein here."

"With so many peaks in this mountain range, even if we've confirmed the presence of a dragon vein, it won't be easy to locate the exact spot quickly," Mo Yongxin looked at the sprawling mountain range ahead, her eyebrows furrowing.

"Miss Mo, then it's up to Qin brother next," He Ping laughed heartily, pointing towards Qin Yu and saying, "Qin brother, it's your turn to show us your skills."

Qin Yu nodded. His divination compass, the Dragon-Seeking Disk, was the tool for finding dragon veins. Now that they had narrowed down the search area, it wouldn't be difficult for the Dragon-Seeking Disk's sensing ability to find the exact location where the dragon vein was hidden.

Taking out the Dragon-Seeking Disk, Qin Yu sat cross-legged on the ground, placing the disk flat on the ground. He formed special hand seals, embracing the primordial energy, and remained motionless in meditation.

"Is this broken compass the magical tool?" Mo Yongxing stared at the damaged compass on the ground, his face full of doubt. In his understanding, a magical tool should emit a dazzling golden light to live up to its reputation. The compass in front of him was dark in color, with a missing piece, and he couldn't see anything extraordinary about it.

Mo Yongxin's eyebrow twitched as she cast a faint glance at her younger brother, who quickly closed his mouth. He Ping, on the other hand, paid no attention to Mo Yongxing's words. His gaze was fixed on the compass. He could only confirm that it was indeed a magical tool, but he was unsure of its specific functions.

"Dragon-Seeking Disk, activate!"

Qin Yu maintained his crouched position for about the duration of a tea session. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, changed his hand gesture, and pointed towards the Dragon-Seeking Disk. As Qin Yu pointed, the disk on the ground roared, and a visible five-clawed golden dragon burst out from the broken corner, astonishing everyone. With a furious roar, the dragon soared in a specific direction.

"What... the hell did I just see?!"

Mo Yongxing's exclamation snapped everyone back from the extraordinary phenomenon. Especially the bodyguards, they were captivated by the moment the five-clawed golden dragon appeared. They let their guard down, and if there had been an unexpected attack, they wouldn't have had time to react.

Mo Yongxin's red lips slightly parted, her delicate face still showing a stunned expression. So, this was the magical tool that the Feng Shui master mentioned. No wonder Qin Yu refused to sell it. Regardless of its effectiveness, just the image of the five-clawed golden dragon, which held great significance in the hearts of the Chinese people, made this compass priceless.

"The Dragon-Seeking Disk... such a magical tool does exist in this world. It seems that what Master said is true. Those who are destined for the magical tool will know its true value. Fortunately, the Dragon-Seeking Disk ended up in your hands, Qin Yu. Otherwise, I would have considered it just an ordinary artifact," He Ping remarked, his gaze full of admiration as he looked at Qin Yu. Qin Yu's proficiency in Feng Shui was not inferior to his own; he could recognize and use the Dragon-Seeking Disk.

"He Master, I just happened to stumble upon the fact that this is the Dragon-Seeking Disk," Qin Yu's face showed a hint of embarrassment. He didn't want to become the center of attention for everyone. Making a fortune quietly suited his personality better. Moreover, activating the Dragon-Seeking Disk drained his energy and mental stamina. At this moment, his complexion had turned pale.

"With the guidance of the Dragon-Seeking Disk, it won't be difficult to find the exact location of the dragon vein!" He Ping immediately chased after the direction of the five-clawed golden dragon, and Mo Yongxin quickly followed.

"Hey, can't you lend me a hand?" Qin Yu's entire body felt weak and powerless. Compared to the first time he activated the Dragon-Seeking Disk, he felt much better mentally this time.

"Oh, thanks!" Just as Qin Yu was grumbling, a pair of jade-like arms extended towards him. Qin Yu looked up and saw Mo Yongxin standing beside him, offering her arm. She must have noticed that Qin Yu wasn't feeling well.

Without being pretentious, Qin Yu grabbed Mo Yongxin's hand and used it to help himself stand up. However, with the weight of over a hundred catties resting on a single arm, Mo Yongxin lost her balance and took two steps forward. Coincidentally, she collided with Qin Yu as he was getting up.

Qin Yu's face brushed against something soft and elastic, and before he could stand up completely, he was pushed back down. He hurriedly reached out and held the person in front of him with both hands. However, the position was awkward, as his hands happened to grab Mo Yongxin's perky buttocks. A tremendous elasticity surged through his hands, instantly bringing Qin Yu back to his senses. He quickly retracted his hands and fell to the ground.

Mo Yongxin's cheeks turned crimson, a flush spreading across her face. Qin Yu's head had just brushed against her chest, and it felt like a warm current passing by. Especially when his head moved a few times, a ticklish sensation immediately rushed to her mind, making her feel weak and unable to describe the peculiar sensation.

"Ouch!"

Seeing the guy sitting on the ground, pretending to be clueless, Mo Yongxin felt even more annoyed. The two places on her body that had never been touched by the opposite sex were now thoroughly groped by this guy. She glanced around in a slightly panicked manner and realized that everyone had already followed He Ping ahead. No one saw what happened here, which eased her mind a little.

"What are you sitting on the ground for? Everyone's gone!" Mo Yongxin raised her eyebrows, gave Qin Yu a sideways glance, and walked straight ahead.

"He didn't get angry? That's fortunate!" Qin Yu was indeed sitting on the ground, pretending to be clueless. The moment he fell to the ground, he became completely sober. What had he done? It seemed like he accidentally touched the two areas that girls cared about the most. Although it wasn't intentional, he was afraid that no one would believe him. So Qin Yu decided to sit on the ground and play dumb.

Mo Yongxin walked away briskly, her tight jeans perfectly outlining her perky buttocks. As she walked, her hips swayed gently. Thinking about the soft and elastic area he had touched just now, a wave of heat surged through Qin Yu's abdomen. He couldn't help but imagine grabbing that behind and squeezing it hard. However, this thought only lasted for a moment before Qin Yu shook his head, dispelling the absurd idea from his mind.

"Hey, what were you fooling around with my sister just now? I noticed that her cheeks were all red," Mo Yongxing asked, walking up to Qin Yu and nudging his left shoulder with her elbow.

"It's nothing. We were just discussing the dragon veins," Qin Yu replied.

"Come on, don't lie. My sister wouldn't blush just from discussing dragon veins," Mo Yongxing didn't believe him and was about to continue questioning when Mo Yongxin turned around and noticed their secretive behavior. Her eyes twitched, and she swept her gaze over to them.

"Cough, it's really nothing. We were just discussing the dragon veins!" Qin Yu felt helpless under the double scrutiny of the siblings. He quickly walked away, preferring to join He Ping instead, where he would feel more comfortable.
