Chapter 21 Geomancers

Zhao Menfeng stopped explaining again and asked with a smile, "At this point, you should already feel what is the most important, right?"

Wang Ke answered without hesitation, "Identity. The identity of a geomancer."

Zhao Menfeng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good answer. It's the identity of a geomancer. The first choice for authenticating magic weapons is a geomancer. People who are not geomancers can only tell about and inspect the magic weapons. Only one-sided problems can be found through inspection. Further observation still depends on geomancers.

Wang Ke's eyes brightened. He made Zhao Menfeng another pot of tea and then said respectfully, "Mr. Zhao, I know you're a geomancer, so I want to learn Fengshui Theory from you. You said you would like to teach me magic weapons authenticating. If I can't be a geomancer, there's no way to authenticate the magic weapons."

Zhao Menfeng replied with a laugh, "You're very smart. I'm really curious about how much you can learn from me."

Wang Ke had a big smile on his face. Although Zhao Menfeng didn't mention teaching Wang Ke Fengshui Theory directly, it was clear that he meant he was willing to teach. But he didn't know how much Wang Ke would learn.

Geomancers!

A geomancer has the magical power to change not only the Fengshui but also the destiny of people, making people escape from danger, get rich and become lucky...

Wang Ke was about to learn this magical power!

He was amazed and excited.

"Mr. Zhao, what are the basics of Fengshui Theory?" Wang Ke asked eagerly when he had calmed down.

Zhao Menfeng stood up and walked toward the second floor and then returned a few minutes later.

He handed Wang Ke a book about Fengshui Theory and said, "Fengshui Theory is very complex. This book I gave you is the most basic knowledge about Fengshui Theory. I'll give you a general idea. You should read the book whenever you have time and memorize everything in it..."

Then Zhao Menfeng taught Wang Ke about Fengshui Theory tirelessly, and Wang Ke absorbed what Zhao Menfeng taught him hungrily. His memory is very good. Especially after he broke through to the second stage of Dragon's Momentum, his memory had greatly improved. And he listened so attentively, so he remembered everything Zhao Menfeng taught him.

"Boss Zhao, I just found something good. Could you help me to see if this is a magic weapon? How much is it worth?"

Just when Zhao Menfeng was teaching Wang Ke, two middle-aged men ran in. The two men were very interesting-looking. One was fat and tall and the other was thin and short. The fat man had very white skin and looked very paunchy. The thin man's skin was swarthy and seemed to have been exposed to the sun for years.

It was the short, thin, and middle-aged man who was talking loudly.

It was clear that Zhao Menfeng knew the two men, but he ignored them. His eyes fell directly on the wooden carving held in the hands of the short thin middle-aged man.

There were two children on the wooden carving. A boy and a girl, tightly surrounded by five bats.

After taking the wooden carving, Zhao Menfeng narrowed his eyes and observed it again and again. The wooden carving was a bit old and very delicate. But after observing closely, Zhao Menfeng said with shaking his head, "It's not a treasure but just a fake."

The short thin middle-aged man exclaimed with his face changed, "Boss Zhao, please check it carefully. I spent twenty thousand yuan on this magic weapon. Look at the carving and the color! Only genuine antiques possess these characteristics."

Zhao Menfeng shook his head and said, "This wooden carving is a realistic imitation. The imitator must have thought very carefully before he carved. So he carved patterns that signified the coming of the Five Blessings. But a fake is fake. It will never become genuine."

After saying this, he turned to Wang Ke and asked with a smile, "Wang Ke, why don't you come and see if this is a genuine magic weapon or a fake one?"

Wang Ke watched Zhao Menfeng hand him the wooden carving that symbolized the coming of the Five Blessings. Wang Ke hesitated, but he took it after thinking for a moment.

He kept recalling what Zhao Menfeng had taught him about magic weapons.

At the same time, Wang Ke compared his observations with what Zhao Menfeng had taught him.

As time went by, Wang Ke focused all his attention on observing the wooden carving. He didn't notice Zhao Menfeng's odd glances, nor that the short thin middle-aged man was visibly angry.

It was a genuine antique!

Wang Ke thought to himself. Through observation, Wang Ke felt that the wooden carving he was holding should be a genuine antique. He even felt that it should be a magic weapon! Wang Ke didn't know why he felt this way. It was a very subtle feeling. Perhaps it was because he had identified the wooden carving as a genuine antique.

"Mr. Zhao, I can't tell whether it is a magic weapon or not with my poor skill." Wang Ke looked away from the wooden carving and then looked at Zhao Menfeng and said with a bitter smile.

Zhao Menfeng said with a smile, "It's OK. Just say it. It's my test of you to see if you have the gift of learning magic weapons authenticating. It doesn't matter if you're wrong. After all, you are just new to the industry."

Wang Ke said after hesitating for a moment, "As far as I'm concerned, it's a magic weapon. According to the material of the wooden carving, I can judge that it's an ancient thing. But I don't know its age. I just feel like it should be a magic weapon, although I can't do the three methods you said and I can't judge whether there is energy in it."

An idea flashed through Wang Ke's mind suddenly. He spotted a problem acutely.

"Mr. Zhao, the five bats on the wooden carving form a circle. If my guess is correct, this should be a small Fengshui layout. I don't know if my feeling is right or not. This wooden carving means the coming of the Five Blessings, and these five bats happen to mean the same. So it should be a magic weapon, right?" Wang Ke said again.

Mr. Zhao said with a teasing smile, "It's an interesting trait you found, but you can't just rely on feelings. But you have to know that in the world of antiques and magic weapons, those who rely on their feelings all end up losing badly. So I need you to give me a definite answer. Yes or no?

Wang Ke was a little helpless. He was pushing him!

If Wang Ke could determine it to be a magic weapon without using the extraordinary vision, there would be no need for him to learn from Zhao Menfeng!

He smiled sadly to himself.

In desperation, he decided to use the extraordinary vision. Mr. Zhao had already said it was a test of his talent, so Wang Ke had to answer correctly even if he cheated. Only when Zhao Menfeng saw Wang Ke's excellence could he really teach Wang Ke the most basic and useful knowledge.

As he thought of this, he directed spirit energy towards his eyes quickly.

The slight tingling disappeared instantly as the spirit energy was concentrated around the eyes. The cool, comfortable feeling made him so happy because he could feel the pain getting less and less as he used the extraordinary vision more and more.

He looked quickly at the wooden carving and a whiff of white smog appeared in his sight.

It was indeed a magic weapon!

His feeling was right!

Wang Ke felt happy. And he was acutely aware that the white smog was flowing on the five bats. However, the wooden carving had less white smog on it than other magic weapons he had found before.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm sure it's a magic weapon and I trust my feeling." Wang Ke didn't want to tell others that he had an extraordinary vision, so he chose to hide it from Zhao Menfeng.

Zhao Menfeng burst into laughter and patted Wang Ke on his shoulder. After he took the carving from Wang Ke's hand, he said with satisfaction, "Well done! You seem very talented about antiques and magic weapons. Bravo! I didn't think you'd be able to relate that to the five bats right after hearing about Fengshui layouts. Amazing! You're right. I was trying to test you, so I said the wooden carving was fake. This wooden carving is indeed a magic weapon, albeit a small one.And it's worth about thirty thousand yuan."

Wang Ke had already judged the wooden carving as a magic weapon by the extraordinary vision. So he had a smile on his face, but he didn't get excited.

When the short thin middle-aged man heard Zhao Menfeng's words, his face changed from terrible to happy.

He spent twenty thousandyuan on this wooden carving, and Zhao Menfeng said it was worth about thirty thousand yuan. So he can earn ten thousandyuan!

His mood was like going from hell to heaven. He didn't make much money, but to his delight that he did find an undervalued treasure.

"Are you serious, Boss Zhao? It's a magic weapon, not a fake, right? The short thin mid-age man asked.

Zhao Menfeng nodded and said, "It's indeed a magic weapon, not a fake. Just a little cheap."

The short thin middle-aged man thanked Zhao Mengfeng happily and then left with the tall fat middle-aged man.

Wang Ke didn't turn to Zhao Menfeng until the two men disappeared outside the gate. He asked in doubt, "Mr. Zhao, on what basis do you base your price assessment?"

Zhao Menfeng said with a smile, "Actually, there are levels of magic weapons. The higher the level is, the higher the price is. And vice versa.

Levels?

Were there levels of magic weapons?

Wang Ke was a little excited and asked in a hurry, "Mr. Zhao, tell me about the levels of magic weapons! If I do find undervalued treasures in the future, I don't want to lose money because I don't know the price."

Zhao Menfeng nodded and said with a smile, "Honestly, estimating the price is not easy. If you want to know exactly how to estimate the price, you have to identify as many magic weapons as possible. Because you can't judge until you know the price of a large number of magic weapons."

"There are eight levels of magic weapons. These levels are prescribed by the magic weapon appraisers. Level one, Carrying a magic weapon can change the fate of a single person."

"Level two, It can change the Fengshui of a house about the size of my Self House!"

"Level three, It can change the Fengshui of a village of hundreds of families!"

"Level four, It can change the Fengshui of a town!"

"Level five, It can change the Fengshui of a city!"

"Level six, It can change the Fengshui of a province of average size."

"Level seven, It can change the Fengshui of a country, just like our country."

"Level eight, It can change the Fengshui of our planet!"

At this point, Zhao Menfeng said with a laugh, "Actually, I've only seen the first four levels of magic weapons with my own eyes. About the last four levels, I've only heard of level-five magic weapons. The rest are legendary magic weapons and I don't know if they really exist."
