Chapter 51 Unbelievably Powerful Combination

In contrast to the noise outside, it was very quiet in Self House as if it had been isolated from the outside world.

Wang Ke was learning knowledge about antiques, magic weapons and Fengshui from Zhao Menfeng with great eagerness. He found that Zhao Menfeng was like a treasure of knowledge, from whose inductive analysis and summary of all kinds of knowledge he could benefit a lot.

"Mr. Zhao, which level of geomancer have you reached now?" Wang Ke suddenly asked.

Zhao Menfeng looked at Wang Ke's curious face with a faint smile and said, "I am not very skillful at Fengshui. I am just a Shu Master."

"Shu Master? The fourth level?"

Looking at Zhao Menfeng strangely, Wang Ke did not believe it at all in his heart.

Although Zhao Menfeng had not yet shown many of his skills, Wang Ke felt that his level was definitely higher than Shu Master. This old man was probably deliberately keeping a low profile and kept his level a secret.

If Zhao Menfeng was not willing to tell the truth, Wang Ke would not force him to do so. Suppressing his curiosity to the bottom of his heart, he continued to study with Mr. Zhao.

At noon, Zhao Menfeng put down the materials in his hand, looked at Wang Ke, and said, "You don't need to recite the ten thousand words that I asked you to recite. Take this Book of Geography back. Recite it and learn it by heart in a week."

Wang Ke's was surprised. He kept nodding his head as if he had got away with some punishment. Reaching out to take the Book of Geography, he breathed a long sigh of relief. The recitation of those ten thousand words was like a big mountain weighing down on his mind. Now that Zhao Menfeng no longer asked him to recite it, he was naturally full of joy.

Reciting the ten thousand words did not benefit him at all. He felt that Mr. Zhao asked him to do it just to test his memory. Reciting this Book of Geography, on the other hand, was different. Reciting it was not useless since this book contained real knowledge. Therefore, he could learn more useful knowledge.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao. I will definitely recite all the contents of the Book of Geography in a week." Wang Ke smiled and said.

Zhao Menfeng nodded. Keeping looking at the direction that Wang Ke left, Zhao Menfeng secretly sighed in his heart.

He didn't expect that Wang Ke would be so powerful that he was now already able to enter the world of geomancers and had the ability to observe energy.

"That cultivation of internal strength is so powerful. It's surprising that it has a great impact on Fengshui."

Zhao Menfeng pondered silently.

Asking Wang Ke to recite those ten thousand words was not only simply to pick on him or to test his memory, but also to stimulate Wang Ke's perseverance and mental strength.

As the saying went, only when there was pressure would there be an impetus.

Only by putting great pressure on him to recite could he completely concentrate his mental strength. And if he made a breakthrough in his mental strength, his intelligence would be affected and improve rapidly.

Mental strength and intelligence were complementary in many situations. If Wang Ke's intelligence made considerable progress, his mental strength would become stronger. And the strong mental strength was the basic condition for observing energy.

In fact, he had taught Wang Ke how to observe energy from the very beginning, just in a way that Wang Ke could not possibly figure out by himself.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Menfeng looked at the direction that Wang Ke had left and muttered to himself, "I originally wanted to train his mental strength. But this boy has unexpectedly found a new way to reach the level of energy-observing by making a breakthrough in spirit energy. This is a much faster way to train mental strength than the way that most geomancers generally do! It will take at least a few years to cultivate a geomancer who can observe energy. Even for those geniuses, it has never been heard that any of them can reach the level of energy-observing within half a year! Will he surprise me again in the future?"

After leaving Self House, Wang Ke found a restaurant at random and got a full meal. Then he returned to his residence. Zhao Menfeng had given him the task of reciting the Book of Geography within a week. It was really a short period of time so that he had to seize every second.

For three hours, Wang Ke managed to memorize the first twenty pages of the Book of Geography with his strong memory.

After rubbing his slightly aching head, Wang Ke put the Book of Geography in his hand on the bedside table, stood up, and stretched himself before walking to the window.

The place where he lived was very close to the antique market. Standing at the window of the fourth floor, he could see the southernmost street of the antique market. Looking at the wide street ahead, Wang Ke was moved by the hustle and bustle of it.

Why not take a walk on Curio Street? He had done the rote memorization for three hours and should take a break to refresh his brain. In addition to the extraordinary vision, today he was even able to observe energy. Maybe he should have a try to find some undervalued treasures.

Last time he had no choice but to buy the wooden knocker that had been absorbed the spiritual energy by him in Mr. Zhao's store. And he lost more than one hundred thousand yuan for buying it. Now he had only about one hundred thousand yuan left. If he did not earn some money back in time, he would not have enough money to complete his business plan.

Wang Ke hesitated for a long while before he made up his mind to go to the antique market.

He really wanted to have a try and see what kind of unbelievably powerful effect there would be if he combined the extraordinary vision and the ability to observe energy.

Once he had made up his mind, he did not hesitate anymore. After ten minutes or so, he arrived at the antique market. There were so many stalls and people that it took him ten minutes to get to a street next to East Gate Street. There were fewer people on this street than the previous one.

Standing in front of a relatively large stall, Wang Ke froze on the spot when he ran his eyes over the stall.

At this moment, he realized that he was too naive and finally understood the reason why it was still not easy to find magic weapons even if there were many skillful geomancers in the country.

He did not believe it when Zhao Menfeng told him that geomancers would be cheated at least six or seven times out of ten when looking for magic weapons, because he had thought that they could confirm whether there were one or more magic weapons within the twenty-meter radius with their ability to observe spiritual energy.

But now, looking around, Wang Ke found that there were two stalls within a ten-meter radius. The one in front of him was larger, while the other was smaller. On these two stalls, there were at least hundreds of antiques. How could he identify which one was a magic weapon?

Geomancers could feel the spiritual energy around them by observing the energy. But there was no way to determine the location of magic weapons!

With a bitter smile emerging on his face, Wang Ke secretly sighed in his heart. If he found spiritual energy wave within a ten-meter radius by observing energy, was he really going to inspect all these antiques one by one?

Wang Ke secretly shook his head. Last time when he highly concentrated his mental strength by observing energy outside Self House, he consumed quite a lot of mental strength. When he observed the energy, the hair-thin milky white smog existing in the space between his eyebrows was consumed a tenth!

Now he was sure that the hair-thin milky white smog existing between his eyebrows was formed by his own mental strength. He did not know why it appeared between his eyebrows. But anyway, it was definitely a good thing for him to be able to feel the state of his mental strength.

"Fortunately, I have the extraordinary vision. If I find spiritual energy wave within a ten-meter radius, I can quickly inspect all the antiques on the stall by using my extraordinary vision. So I can quickly find out which antique on the stall has white smog on it."

As the bitter smile on his face flickered away, Wang Ke's heart was full of joy.

When this idea came to his mind, he became excited and wanted to have a try.

It was not easy for other geomancers to find magic weapons, but it was so easy for him! If he skillfully combined the extraordinary vision and the energy-observing ability, he would have an unbelievably powerful way to find magic weapons.

"Young man, take a look. Which antique on the stall do you like? Almost all the antiques on my stall are genuine. And the price was fair and reasonable. I never lie to anybody. I promise you can find a good object here." The owner of the stall was a middle-aged woman in her forties. The way she looked at Wang Ke at this moment was like looking at a deep pocket, with a little respect, a little enthusiasm and a big smile.

The customer was king.

The middle-aged woman understood this sentence very well since she had been in the antique business for so many years.

Wang Ke smiled and nodded to the middle-aged woman before he said, "Let me take a look first. And if there is any object that I am satisfied with, I will take it."

After saying this, Wang Ke began to run his eyes over the goods on the stall. If someone observed keenly, he must be able to notice that Wang Ke didn't observe the things on the stall at all and his eyes were out of focus.

At this moment, he concentrated his mental strength and quietly felt the spiritual energy within a ten-meter radius.

Two minutes later, a glimmer of disappointment flashed in Wang Ke's eyes. Slowly raising his head, he looked at the middle-aged woman and said with a smile, "I wanted to find something good, but my discernment is too poor to find one. Sorry, I'm going to other stalls to have a look. If I don't find anything I like, I'll come back then."

The smile on the middle-aged female owner of the stall faded, but she still politely said, "Alright. Take a look around at other stalls first. If there is nothing you like, you are always welcome to come back here."

"Sure."

Wang Ke nodded and turned around to walk towards those stalls next to him.

In the following twenty minutes, Wang Ke inspected the goods on four other stalls with his ability to observe energy. To his disappointment, he did not feel spiritual energy wave at those stalls.

Looking back at the stalls he had explored, Wang Ke sighed in his heart, "I have explored five stalls and have inspected a total of more than one thousand pieces of antiques in the past half an hour. But not a single one of them is a magic weapon. It seems that magic weapons are really rare. Even for antiques, the genuine-to-fake ratio must be a least one out of a few hundred."

Silently shaking his head, he was a bit discouraged but not completely disappointed. After bidding farewell to the owner of the stall in front of him, he walked towards the next two stalls.

"Young man, I have all kinds of goods here. Come and take a look. I promise there is some old object you like." A middle-aged man with a mustache, a pair of sun sunglasses and a middle-parted hairstyle shouted while smilingly looking at Wang Ke, who was in front of his stall.

What a cunning man!

This was Wang Ke's first impression of the stall owner.

"Okay. If there is something I like, I will buy it. But I don't know much about antiques. So if there is something that I like, please explain it to me!" Wang Ke said with a smile.

"No problem. I've been doing business at this antique market for more than ten years. Although I don't dare to say I'm particularly good at antiques, few people are better than me. Just take a look, young man. If you like any of them, I'll give you a big discount." The stall owner nodded and smiled.
