It seemed that Qian Feng had put some effort into choosing this location when he built the house.
Of course, one could only say that the location he chose was quite decent.
As for the Feng Shui arrangement, that was entirely nonexistent.
The Life-Giving Energy node inside the house merely naturally dispersed some beneficial energy, which brought some advantages to Qian Feng.
Without a Feng Shui arrangement, however, the efficacy of this Life-Giving Energy node could not be fully maximized.
“Uncle Qian, there are actually quite a few areas in the layout of this house that could be improved upon!”
“If you think my words are trustworthy, I can explain them one by one right now,” after a brief moment of thought, Chen Hai paused, then continued.
Although he knew that Qian Feng would likely not refuse his suggestions, he felt it was better to have Qian Feng confirm it, to make things a bit smoother.
“Master Chen, what improvements do you suggest?
“Master Hou Donggui always speaks highly of you, and in the realm of Feng Shui and metaphysics, I know you truly have genuine skills!”
“Whatever you suggest, I will follow.
If I don’t trust you, who else can I trust?”
Pounding his chest, Qian Feng quickly promised.
Given his identity, which was full of positive energy, if anyone asked how he viewed Feng Shui and metaphysics, he would undoubtedly dismiss it as superstitious remnants of feudalism.
But privately, his views on these matters were completely different.
Seeing his earnest demeanor in front of Chen Hai, he might not completely believe in Chen Hai’s Fengshui Technique, but he certainly trusted about seventy to eighty percent of it.
“Uncle Qian, I think you can install a window here!”
After walking around the small villa’s hall, Chen Hai stopped in front of the southeast wall and pointed at a specific spot.
Then, taking this position as a starting point, he walked seven steps north and then three steps towards the east.
“Also, at this position, you could simply place a fish tank for an easy solution, or, if you don’t mind the trouble, construct a small pond which would definitely enhance its effect!”
“The window is for drawing in the wind, while the pond is for accumulating water.”
“Once both the pond and the window are properly in place, Uncle Qian, your house will both have wind and water, thereby naturally promoting prosperous energy!”
With his hands behind his back, Chen Hai walked towards the southwest corner of the hall.
There, where he had previously used his Geomancy Skill, the detected Life-Giving Energy node was located nearby where he now stood.
Furrowing his brows slightly, he considered for a moment before speaking again to Qian Feng, who had followed him, and suggested, “Uncle Qian, if you wish for a prosperous official career, you could place a three-feet-three-inches tall gourd here as decoration.”
“A gourd represents blessings and prosperity; placing one here, nourished by the Life-Giving Energy, can naturally suppress any negative energies and help you achieve both wealth and rank!”
“Of course, while these suggestions can enhance your official career, no pie falls from the sky without effort.”
“Effort is needed for further advancements, to better benefit the people of Wuyang Town, you yourself need to make more trips to the county…”
While giving these suggestions, Chen Hai also specifically warned Qian Feng of some matters to be cautious about.
He spoke slowly, and Qian Feng listened carefully.
From his expression, it was clear he was not just going through the motions, but was sincerely taking Chen Hai’s cautions to heart.
“Master Chen, apart from these improvements, are there any other areas that need to be improved?”
Chen Hai had finished speaking and paused, yet Qian Feng seemed to hunger for more and tentatively spoke again, seeking advice.
“Uncle Qian, one should not be overly greedy!”
“Just do as I have suggested, if you want to advance further, I am somewhat confident, maybe about fifty percent, but I dare not say more!”
Chen Hai gave Qian Feng a meaningful look, chuckled, and spoke.
Their relationship was a mutual use of each other, without any deep bond.
By guiding him to this extent, Chen Hai had certainly fulfilled his moral and righteous duty.
After his improvements, the Feng Shui of the house would indeed strengthen Qian Feng’s career prospects, providing a certain possibility for him to actually advance further.
In this matter, Chen Hai merely slightly concealed a little detail, not truly deceiving him!
What Chen Hai kept hidden was merely the duration of the maintenance of the Life-Giving Energy node within the house.
Originally, Qian Feng should have ten more years of a prosperous career, but now, Chen Hai’s suggestions would force the extraction of the Life-Giving Energy contained within the node to strengthen his wealth and rank.
He estimated that within a maximum of three years, Qian Feng’s official career would likely reach its end.
However, such matters, Chen Hai kept to himself, as he definitely would not directly inform Qian Feng!
After all, to climb higher more swiftly, how could there not be a price to pay!
“Master Chen, please don’t take offense, it’s just my greed showing a bit too much!”
Seeing Chen Hai say this, Qian Feng quickly admitted his fault with a chuckle, using it to mask his embarrassment.
Then, as if recalling something, he quickly added to Chen Hai, “Please rest a moment on the sofa, I’ll excuse myself for a bit!”
After these words, Qian Feng hurriedly walked towards the second floor of the small villa.
Originally planning to leave after checking the Feng Shui for Qian Feng, although not understanding what Qian Feng truly intended, since he had said as much, Chen Hai naturally still had to show him some respect.
Settling on the sofa, he picked up the cup of hot tea in front of him and took just a few sips.
In terms of time, it was hardly more than three to five minutes before Qian Feng, who had just gone upstairs, hurriedly came back down, and sat down again near Chen Hai on the sofa.
“Master Chen, someone of your stature providing Feng Shui consultations certainly wouldn’t make a trip for nothing!”
“Our Wuyang Town is poor, and me being the local official, I really can’t offer too much money!”
“A token of little importance, but please do accept it!”
Qian Feng knew how to handle things, and while speaking, he respectfully produced a thick kraft paper envelope and handed it to Chen Hai.
