Chapter 50 What a Genius!

Zhao Menfeng, who was in his seventies but was as energetic as a young man, lunged to the shelf and picked up that primitive magic weapon, a Four-legged bronze tripod. Then he turned around, walked to the door, and shouted to Wang Ke, "Wang Ke, come out with me."

Wang Ke didn't understand Zhao Menfeng's meaning, but he still walked out of the door with him.

"Wang Ke, I'll put this magic weapon outside and you stay by the door. Try to see if you can feel the spiritual energy contained in this magic weapon? As I taught you before, all magic weapons contain spiritual energy. And even some without Fengshui layouts still contain spiritual energy." Zhao Menfeng walked to a place about twenty meters away. He looked around and found no one nearby, and then he shouted loudly to Wang Ke.

Wang Ke's eyes were full of doubt, he didn't know why Zhao Menfeng did it. When Wang Ke stepped out of Self House, he couldn't feel the energy around him anymore, and Zhao Menfeng's words made him even more confused.

Wang Ke stood about twenty meters away from the magic weapon, a Four-legged Bronze Tripod, placed by Zhao Menfeng, and closed his eyes slowly.

"Wang Ke, can you feel the spiritual energy?" Zhao Menfeng asked expectantly.

Wang Ke opened his eyes, shook his head, and answered, "I can't feel anything."

Zhao Menfeng nodded, then picked up the Four-legged Bronze Tripod and took five steps toward Wang Ke. He took it down again and asked loudly, "How about now? Can you feel the spiritual energy?"

Wang Ke felt for a while quietly, then said while shaking his head, "No, I still can't feel anything."

Zhao Menfeng looked at Wang Ke nervously. He picked up the Four-legged Bronze Tripod and took another five steps toward Wang Ke, and then he asked loudly, "What about now? Try again."

Wang Ke took a deep breath and closed his eyes slowly again. He was less than ten meters away from the Four-legged Bronze Tripod now. He really wanted to know why Zhao Menfeng did this. So his mind was highly focused and he tried to feel the spiritual energy around him whole-heartedly.

"Still nothing?" Zhao Menfeng asked loudly.

Wang Ke shook his head helplessly. As he was about to open his eyes, he was startled, because he was aware of a slight change nearly ten meters away at that moment.

Right in front of him, it was as if a pebble had been thrown into the quiet river. The change of the spiritual energy made ripples. Wang Ke opened his eyes suddenly and looked at the source of the spiritual energy wave.

What was going on?

Because of the Four-legged Bronze Tripod?

The spiritual energy wave was coming out of it.

Wang Ke was very excited. He turned his head quickly, looked at Zhao Menfeng, and said anxiously, "Mr. Zhao, I can feel it! There's more spiritual energy within ten meters of me. I couldn't feel it before, but I can feel it now."

Zhao Menfeng was shocked greatly and his clouded eyes sparkled with excitement. He rubbed his hands together and said with satisfaction, "Very good! I didn't tell you much about the spiritual energy, but I didn't expect you to be aware of it around you. It's amazing! Wang Ke, I've taught a lot of students, but I've never met someone as talented as you. You're a genius."

Wang Ke was shocked. Zhao Menfeng had never praised him like that since he had studied with Zhao Menfeng. He was flattered by the praise at this moment.

"What's going on, Mr. Zhao? I can feel the waves of the spiritual energy within ten meters, there's twice as much spiritual energy here as anywhere else. Is it because of the magic weapon?" Wang Ke calmed down quickly, walked to Zhao Menfeng, and asked seriously.

Zhao Menfeng looked around and found that someone was coming towards him. He picked up the Four-legged Bronze Tripod and said with a smile, "Come on, let's talk about it at the store. Now that you've reached that level, let me explain the basics of Fengshui to you."

Wang Ke was very happy because he had long wanted to learn Fengshui from Zhao Menfeng. But because of the lack of Wang Ke's knowledge of Fengshui, Zhao Menfeng refused to teach him.

Back in the room, Zhao Menfeng looked at Wang Ke and asked seriously, "Have you felt anything different these days? Or did something strange happen to you?"

Wang Ke hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhao, I made a great improvement in my cultivation yesterday. Is that the reason?"

Improvement?

Zhao Menfeng looked at Wang Ke oddly. He knew That Wang Ke was cultivating inner power, but he didn't expect that the improvement of cultivation would enhance his talent in Fengshui.

Zhao Menfeng took a sip of tea from his teacup and said cheerfully, "If I'm right, that's probably the reason. Wang Ke, you can detect the spiritual energy waves within ten meters of your surroundings, which is the stage called energy-observing. But you've only just reached the stage."

Energy-observing?

Wang Ke was stunned, how could he not know about the stage of energy-observing? He just didn't expect to be able to detect the spiritual energy just like this. So is that the stage of energy-observing?

"Mr. Zhao, don't I need my eyes for observing the energy?"

Zhao Menfeng couldn't help laughing, "Of course not. When geomancers observe the energy, they just need to focus their minds and feel the wave of spiritual energy around them with spirit."

Wang Ke suddenly saw the light and could not help being excited.

Zhao Menfeng didn't seem to notice Wang Ke's excitement and said with a smile, "There's an infinite amount of energy in this world. For geomancers, these energies fall into the following categories. Like spiritual energy, evil energy, Yin energy, and Yang energy. Now that you can feel the spiritual energy wave within ten meters of the magic weapon, you have already become a geomancer. You must know that there's a hierarchy of geomancers."

"Is there a hierarchy of geomancers?" Wang Ke stared at Zhao Menfeng with a shocked expression on his face.

Zhao Menfeng nodded and said, "Yes, geomancers have a very strict hierarchy. Listen carefully, I'll explain it to you. Geomancers are divided into nine levels, they are Qi Master, Yinyang Master, Su Master, Shu Master, Ren Master, Di Master, Tian Master, Dao Master, and Supreme Master."

"Qi Master can detect the spiritual energy within a square meter to 20 square meters; Yinyang Master can detect the spiritual energy within two hundred square meters, it's about the size of a large house; Su Master can detect the spiritual energy within ten square kilometers, it's about the size of a village; Shu Master can detect the spiritual energy within one hundred square kilometers, it's about the size of a town."

Zhao Menfeng paused and sighed, "In our country, there are few geomancers who can reach the level of Shu Master. But even I have rarely seen a geomancer who can reach the higher levels."

"Ren Master can detect the spiritual energy within one thousand square kilometers; Di Master can detect the spiritual energy within ten thousand square kilometers; Tian Master can detect the spiritual energy within one hundred thousand square kilometers, it's about the size of our country. There are fewer geomancers who can reach the level of Tian Master."

"Dao Master can detect the spiritual energy within one million square kilometers; Supreme Master can detect the spiritual energy within one hundred million square kilometers. These two levels of geomancers only exist in legend. Anyway, I've never heard that any geomancer has reached these two levels in my entire life."

Zhao Menfeng sighed. His eyes were full of yearning and sadness. In his view, the top two levels could only be legendary. He knew that he would never reach either level in his lifetime.

The shock in Wang Ke's heart was like a magnitude 12 earthquake. When Zhao Menfeng explained, he seemed to stop breathing and looked at him without blinking. He clenched his fists and gave a look of excitement.

"Mr. Zhao, do you mean that I'm already a geomancer? Even if I only reached the lowest level, Qi Master. Am I really a geomancer of the Qi Master level?" Wang Ke asked in a trembling voice.

Zhao Menfeng looked at Wang Ke with a complicated expression, he nodded and said, "You have just become a geomancer. But you can feel the spiritual energy in a range of 10 square meters, which means you are already a Qi Master. However, the level of magic weapon you can feel is very low. I don't think you can feel the wave of the spiritual energy from the high-level magic weapons."

Wang Ke was stunned for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "Mr. Zhao, are there different levels of magic weapons?"

Zhao Menfeng said with a laugh, "Of course! Haven't you noticed that the magic weapons you've seen are worth from a hundred thousand yuan to two hundred thousand yuan? But there are some precious antiques, even if they are not magic weapons, the price is really high, which would be millions or tens of millions yuan. And some of the most cherished antiques can be worth more than 100 million yuan. How could magic weapons be less valuable than antiques?"

Wang Ke was shocked. He had thought about it, but he knew too little about antiques and magic weapons. Now he had to face up to it when he heard Zhao Menfeng mention it.

"Mr. Zhao, could you please explain the levels of magic weapons to me?" Wang Ke said respectfully.

Zhao Menfeng said, "There are three levels of magic weapons, which are the initial level, middle level, and high level. And there are also three higher levels of being above Magic weapon: Spiritual weapon, Divine weapon, and Dao weapon. Each weapon is also divided into initial level, middle level, and high level."

Wang Ke asked immediately, "How to distinguish them?"

Zhao Menfeng gave Wang Ke a meaningful look, and then said with a smile, "So much for today, you'll know it in the future!"

After seeing Wang Ke's disappointed expression, Zhao Menfeng hesitated for a while and said, "Wang Ke, it's good that you're curious, but you're on a weak footing, so it's no use telling you now. Let me explain it to you in general. Generally speaking, any geomancer who can observe the energy can identify magic weapons. If you want to identify high-level magic weapons, you must be able to feel the spiritual energy within 20 meters. It's a little difficult to identify Spiritual weapons just by observing the energy. Because the higher the level of weapon is, the harder it will be when identifying the level of the weapon. But the higher-level weapon is more powerful to change Fengshui. Until now, it was still a mystery in the world of Fengshui."

"It will take at least three Shu Master to identify a Spiritual weapon. And it will take at least three Di Masters to identify a Divine weapon. The higher the level of weapon is, the more time we would spend on identifying the weapon."

Zhao Menfeng didn't explain the Dao weapon, because he didn't know anything about it.
