Chapter 136: Chapter 135: Yin Yang Raw Stone ... Standing at the mountaintop, you could see the entire landscape below, clear and unobstructed. But once you descended, threading your way through piles of stones, all you could see were densely packed rocks stretching endlessly, leaving you dizzy and disoriented, as if trapped within the formation, unable to see the larger picture. It resembled the legendary Eight Trigrams Formation set up by Zhuge Liang, capable of bewildering anyone caught within. Moreover, Yin Yang Origin Stones lacked any obvious distinguishing characteristics. On the surface, they appeared no different from regular stones, making it no simple task to locate them among hundreds or even thousands of rocks. Zhou Heming held his compass, moving slowly, without sparing a glance at the surrounding piles of stones. freёwebnovel-com "That young man does possess some skill." Mr. Fang stroked his beard with a smile and remarked, "He’s employing the Locating Method, not bothering to study the stones, and instead focusing solely on pinpointing the convergence point of Yin Yang Qi Veins. Once he finds the source of the Qi Veins, naturally, he’ll uncover the Yin Yang Origin Stones." Hearing this, Tang Wenjun and Dong Ming grew increasingly anxious, while only Yan Xiaobao maintained a playful expression on his face, seemingly unconcerned about the matter. Dong Yuqing, who had descended the mountain a step later than Zhou Heming, did not rush to inspect the stone piles either. Instead, she concentrated deeply, studying the terrain. Her first priority was to discern the mountain’s flow and subsequently locate the Qi Veins’ convergence site. This was the essence of the Fengshui Technique’s "Dragon Searching and Acupoint Pinpointing." Any qualified Feng Shui Master knew the saying: "Three years to search for the dragon, ten years to pinpoint the acupoint." The "three years" and "ten years" were mere approximations, not literal constraints. In reality, those who lacked natural talent might study their whole lives and still fail to master the art. The method of claiming a mountain is based on its force, with its shape next, followed by its structure... Dong Yuqing relied on her accumulated knowledge, carefully analyzing the terrain, then headed directly toward the bottom of the valley. Meanwhile, Zhou Heming’s movements grew slower, as though his search radius was gradually narrowing. The Fengshui Techniques practiced by Dong Yuqing and Zhou Heming belonged to different schools. One relied on the compass, the other observed the terrain—distinct methods that nonetheless shared a sense of convergent purpose. "Who would’ve thought? This young lady’s mastery runs surprisingly deep," Mr. Fang praised again. Tang Wenjun and Dong Ming, hearing this, breathed a slight sigh of relief, while Yan Xiaobao continued to watch the two below perform, indifferent. A quarter of an hour later, Dong Yuqing and Zhou Heming had each enlisted the help of several workers from the stone yard to transport two round stones back to the small courtyard at the mountaintop. The two stones were rather large, barely able to be hugged fully by two arms encircling them. Tang Wenjun carefully examined them. The stone surfaces were somewhat rough, bearing traces of damp moss, suggesting that they had remained untouched for decades under the elements’ exposure to wind and rain. Zhou Heming wore a slightly smug expression and, treating the stone like a precious treasure, ran his hand across its rough surface, brushing away the moss and dirt to reveal underlying textures resembling scales, which faintly emitted specks of shimmering light. Tang Wenjun widened his eyes slightly and exclaimed, "Certainly no ordinary material." Dong Yuqing inspected her own chosen stone, her gaze showing some satisfaction. "With these stones nurtured in such a Feng Shui treasure land, they’re no longer mundane objects. To the eyes of a Feng Shui Master, they’re far more valuable than gold or silver." Zhou Heming shared a knowing laugh, then turned to Mr. Fang and said, "As you mentioned earlier, we can purchase whatever we deem valuable. Please set a price." "Who’d have thought the younger generation would have such talent?" Mr. Fang, after a pause, reluctantly extended his palm. "This pair of Yin Yang Origin Stones will cost you five million." "That price is quite fair. However, the Yin Yang Origin Stones only function effectively as a pair..." Zhou Heming smiled and turned to Dong Yuqing. "Miss Dong, do you want to let me have the Pure Yin Origin Stone to complete the pair, or shall I let you have the Pure Yang Origin Stone?" Tang Wenjun quickly jumped in. "I’ll offer three million for your Pure Yang Origin Stone!" Zhou Heming chuckled. "I’ll offer four million for your Pure Yin Origin Stone." Up for a bidding war? Tang Wenjun wasn’t one to back down. He immediately raised his bid, "I’ll go to five million!" Zhou Heming waved his hand with a smile. "Young Master Tang, don’t misunderstand—I’m not here to flaunt wealth. My sole reason for traveling all this way was for this pair of Yin Yang Origin Stones. No amount of money will make me let go... But..." Pivoting his tone, Zhou Heming looked at Dong Yuqing with a hint of tenderness. "If Miss Dong truly needs this Pure Yang Origin Stone, I could gladly surrender it to her." Dong Yuqing hesitated. Though she could acquire an item worth millions simply for the asking, doing so would place her in debt to Zhou Heming. His intentions were as plain as day, "The heart of Sima Zhao, known to all." Tang Wenjun also felt troubled. He wanted Dong Yuqing to make a move and secure the Pure Yang Origin Stone, but he also feared upsetting Yan Xiaobao. "Brother Bao, what do you think..." Tang Wenjun cautiously sought Yan Xiaobao’s opinion. "What’s there to look at?" Yan Xiaobao snorted. "These two lousy rocks? Whoever wants them can have them." "Oh?" Zhou Heming glanced at Yan Xiaobao. "So, you’re saying you’re willing to let me purchase the Pure Yin Origin Stone?" "Buy it or don’t—I couldn’t care less." Yan Xiaobao acted as if he were sulking, prompting Tang Wenjun to sigh inwardly. They’d come such a long way for this pair of Yin Yang Origin Stones. Had it not been for Zhou Heming’s meddling, this trip would have been perfect. Alas... Yan Xiaobao’s stubborn refusal to let Dong Yuqing owe any favors to Zhou Heming led to the Yin Yang Origin Stones slipping away from them. Yan Xiaobao was the type to put his wife above all else—any suggestion that he should let Dong Yuqing appeal to his rival Zhou Heming was out of the question. Oh well, in the end, it all rested on Yan Xiaobao’s decisions regarding the Fengshui Formation anyway. Without him, they wouldn’t have even known about these treasures lying a thousand miles away. Missing the mark this time only meant waiting for another opportunity. Understanding this, Tang Wenjun felt somewhat consoled, his regret lightened. "Miss Dong, are you really going to pass up on this pair of Yin Yang Origin Stones?" Zhou Heming reluctantly asked Dong Yuqing. "Hey! What’s with all this nagging?" Yan Xiaobao impatiently interrupted. "If you’re not buying them, then we will." Sensing that Dong Yuqing largely deferred to Yan Xiaobao’s words, Zhou Heming couldn’t help but feel a hint of frustration. "Fine then. If you’re not purchasing them, I will!" ...
