I'm The Only True Immortal In The World.

Chapter Forty: The Real Person Takes Action

The office is

located on the third floor of a north-facing building.

They arrived at the second-to-last room on the west side of the corridor—the boss's office.

Fang Yi and Xu Xiaoli, invited by Boss Wei, went inside and sat down on the leather sofa. The office wasn't large, about thirty square meters, but it was tastefully decorated . Besides the high-end vermilion desk in the center and the black leather sofa against the wall to the left where Fang Yi and Xu Xiaoli were sitting, there was also a calligraphy piece by the master calligrapher Fan Zeng on the wall, which read, "Diligence conquers all difficulties; a hundred tolerances bring harmony." Through the glass window, they could see several potted plants and flowers on the small balcony outside. It had a very artistic feel, which didn't quite match Boss Wei's burly image. "Master Fang, would you like tea or a beverage?" "Tea, please." "Young lady, and you?" "The same as my master." Boss Wei took out a tea caddy from his desk cabinet and personally brewed tea for them. Soon, a pot of tea was ready. As Boss Wei poured tea for the master and apprentice, his face beamed with smiles. "Master, please try our unique wild tea from the rock crevices of the Longmen Secret Realm Scenic Area in Lin'an." "Thank you." "Thank you, Boss Wei." Fang Yi and Xu Xiaoli each picked up their teacups and took a sip. Hmm, the taste was quite good, with a rich and mellow aroma. Boss Wei pulled out a round stool from under the tea table and sat down opposite Fang Yi, proactively introducing the tea: "Don't let the name 'wild tea' fool you. Actually, this tea is very delicious, even better than pre-Qingming Longjing tea. I usually don't even dare to serve it to guests." He didn't mention the price, but anyone could hear the implication: the tea was very expensive, a way of showing respect to Fang Yi. It must be said, this Boss Wei, seemingly a roughneck, actually had quite a few clever tricks up his sleeve. "Indeed, the aroma is wonderful." Fang Yi put down his teacup. Xu Xiaoli also put down her cup, sitting obediently without saying a word or playing on her phone. Boss Wei swiftly got to the point, saying, "Master, are you really unable to help with the feng shui?" Fang Yi smiled and shook his head, "It's not suitable for me to do this. I'm sorry to disappoint you, Boss Wei." Boss Wei then launched his money offensive, "I know you hold a high position, Master. When Master Cheng designed the feng shui for my factory, I gave him a 400,000 yuan red envelope. If you're willing to help, I'll be eternally grateful, regardless of the outcome. Is that alright?" He didn't explicitly state the price, but even Xu Xiaoli understood that Boss Wei meant he was willing to give Fang Yi a red envelope as large as the one he gave Cheng Shan, which was 400,000 yuan. Fang Yi still politely declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I really can't get involved in this." Boss Wei, thinking he thought it was too little, smiled and raised the price again, "Master Cheng respects you so much, I imagine two of them combined aren't as good as you. Master, I sincerely ask you to help. Thank you." One Master Cheng gives 400,000 yuan, two Master Chengs would be 800,000 yuan, wouldn't they? Fang Yi understood perfectly, but still waved his hand, clearly stating, "It's not about the money; it's that I can't do this." Mr. Wei, with his large business empire, understood Fang Yi's answer and knew he couldn't press the matter further. He smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have forced you." He didn't discuss the matter further, only chatting casually with Fang Yi and Xu Xiaoli for a few moments. Then, Mr. Wei got up, apologized, and left. ... Downstairs, by the tree pit. Zhu Changqing and Cheng Shan were squatting, frowning in discussion. "Old Cheng, how did you even come up with the idea of ​​designing this Jade Belt Encircling the Waist feng shui formation? Knowing this land had inauspicious energy, you should have found a way to bypass it. But instead, you cut corners and used Red Bud Pearl Podocarpus to suppress the evil. I'm truly impressed." "I just wanted to be lazy and thought that suppressing the evil energy would be enough. Besides, what's wrong with a Jade Belt Encircling the Waist? It's perfect for the feng shui of this land. I just never expected that someone would do something so inhuman, coming over and pouring boiling water on the money tree. Is that something a human would do?" Xiao Qin and Xiao Jin, who were standing with their backs to the office building entrance, were amused. Zhu Changqing sighed, "Alas, it's a pity that the True Man wouldn't make a move. Otherwise, with his extraordinary cultivation, wouldn't dispelling the evil energy be a piece of cake?" Xiao Jin tossed her ponytail and asked curiously, "Uncle-Master, is True Man Fang really that divine?" "Oh dear, you're such a naive child." Zhu Changqing rolled his eyes and warned, "The True Man contains the secrets of the universe; he is a true enlightened master. In ancient times, such a person would be considered a terrestrial immortal, and the court would honor him as the National Preceptor. You can say such things to me, but don't spout nonsense in front of the True Man." Xiao Qin was also a little curious, "Uncle-Master, I've only heard you say that the True Man's magical power is boundless. What amazing supernatural abilities does he possess that make you admire him so much? Tell us about it." "Yes, Old Zhu, tell us." Cheng Shan said with great interest, "You only said before that True Man Fang attained enlightenment. How do you know he has attained enlightenment?" Zhu Changqing hesitated slightly, then said, "Alright, I'll tell you. But let's make it clear beforehand, you can't tell anyone else." "I know, I know." "Uncle-Master, don't worry, we'll keep it a secret." "Old Zhu, I've known you for decades, don't you trust me?" The three of them chatted amongst themselves. "You really can't tell anyone." Zhu Changqing added another instruction before continuing, "You might not believe it, but half a month ago that night..." He recounted in detail how Fang Yi had taken him and Xu Xiaoli on a journey through countless lakes and the endless starry sky. The three listened, stunned. Although Zhu Changqing had previously mentioned that Fang Yi was a true ancient immortal, they didn't really have a concrete understanding of it. But now it was different. The deeds Zhu Changqing described were simply unbelievable. Especially when they heard that Fang Yi had used water-based magic to condense a giant water dragon that shot straight into the sky, creating a "miracle resembling the Milky Way falling from the heavens," they were all shocked. Finally, Zhu Changqing said meaningfully, "Now you know how powerful Master Fang is, right? So, don't talk nonsense, or Master Fang might make us die twice over!" Cheng Shan, Xiao Qin, and Xiao Jin, who had been exposed to religious knowledge for many years, naturally understood what Zhu Changqing meant by "die twice over." It simply meant that after the physical body dies once, the soul dies once more. According to Zhu Changqing's description, Fang Yi did indeed possess such great supernatural powers. He had instantly led Zhu Changqing and Xu Xiaoli on a journey through thousands of miles of lakes and endless starry skies. He had also created miracles with a mere gesture, as if "the Milky Way had fallen from the ninth heaven." Wasn't he truly a master of immense supernatural powers ? The three masters and disciples were secretly astonished by Fang Yi's profound cultivation. Suddenly, they heard Boss Wei gasp from behind, "Master Zhu... Master Zhu, is Master Fang... Master Fang really that powerful and boundless? Was the water dragon incident that caused such a stir on Douyin recently something Master Fang did?

Zhu Changqing, Cheng Shan, and the others, not expecting anyone to eavesdrop on their conversation, immediately frowned and turned around.

Zhu Changqing, in particular, looked quite displeased and said, "Boss Wei, you can keep these words to yourself, but don't tell anyone else. Otherwise, if the real person is unhappy, who knows what terrible things might happen!" "

I certainly wouldn't dare to say anything," Boss Wei said, cold sweat beading on his forehead. "But... but I think I did something wrong."

"What did you do wrong?" Zhu Changqing asked nervously.

Boss Wei, his face contorted with worry, said, "I spent a fortune trying to get Master Fang to look at my feng shui, but I don't know if I've offended him. What if he... what if he gets angry?"

Cheng Shan nearly vomited blood, his eyes widening as he exclaimed, "You old Wei, how dare you spend money on Master Fang? I... I'm going to be driven mad by you! I shouldn't have secretly given you pointers!"

"I thought Master Fang was like those other Taoist masters, spending money like that before. Who knew Master Fang was different?" Boss Wei paced anxiously, "What if Master Fang gets angry? What if he uses a soul-binding spell to send me to the underworld?"

He was indeed very superstitious.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much money to have Cheng Shan arrange the feng shui.

Naturally, upon hearing that Fang Yi possessed such astonishing supernatural powers, Boss Wei felt a surge of fear and unease.

“Master Fang shouldn’t be that petty,” Zhu Changqing said calmly. “That night, Xiaoli and I were a bit rude to him at first, but he didn’t mind in the end. A true master has the will to embrace the heavens and the earth; he wouldn’t stoop to the level of ordinary people like us.”

Boss Wei breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a puzzled look, “Hey, isn’t it strange? Master Fang was initially willing to help me with the feng shui, so why did he suddenly change his mind?”

No one understood this.

Cheng Shan encouraged Zhu Changqing, “Old Zhu, the evil energy here is a bit special. Ordinary Podocarpus macrophyllus can’t suppress it. Only a special Podocarpus macrophyllus like the Red Bud Pearl Podocarpus, which can generate a powerful yin-yang energy field, can truly suppress the evil. Actually, if it were just for this reason, the tree would be ruined, and we could just transplant another one. But this Red Bud Pearl Podocarpus macrophyllus isn’t just for suppressing evil; it’s also the key point of my feng shui layout. I had already calculated the feng shui layout of the entire environment, such as what kind of trees to plant in the factory and how many years it would take to grow to a certain height…” "If this red-bud pearl Podocarpus macrophyllus is destroyed, replacing it with another Podocarpus macrophyllus of the same height can maintain the feng shui arrangement, but it won't be able to suppress the evil energy. And if we want to suppress the evil energy by replacing it with another red-bud pearl Podocarpus macrophyllus, the feng shui arrangement will be destroyed again. That's why I asked you for help. You see, we've been busy for several days and still can't find a solution. You have a good relationship with Master Fang, why don't you ask him for help?"

Zhu Changqing hesitated and said, "Master Fang does owe me a favor, but using it here..."

Clearly, he was unwilling.

Cheng Shan also felt that it was a waste to use Fang Yi's favor to help someone arrange a feng shui arrangement.

So he thought of a workaround and said, "I really have no other choice. How about this, I'll go and ask Master Fang for help, and you can put in a good word for me. This way, we won't waste your favor, and we'll have a chance to get Master Fang to help."

Boss Wei said eagerly, "Master Zhu, please help me. I will definitely not forget the kindness of you two masters after it's done."

The two of them had gone to such lengths.

Zhu Changqing couldn't refuse, so he said, "Alright, I'll just help put in a good word. Don't expect me to ask the master for help."

In the office.

Fang Yi was chatting with Xu Xiaoli.

Suddenly, the office door opened from the outside.

Zhu Changqing, Cheng Shan, Boss Wei, and their group walked in.

Fang Yi glanced at them but hadn't had a chance to greet them.

Cheng Shan and Zhu Changqing walked up to him one after the other.

"Master Fang, I really can't fix this feng shui arrangement." Cheng Shan said pitifully, "Could you please help me solve this problem..."

He had prepared a whole bunch of words before coming in, hoping to persuade Fang Yi to help.

Zhu Changqing, standing next to him, was also thinking about how to persuade Fang Yi to help.

Boss Wei was in the same boat, wondering whether to play the victim or use some other method.

But unexpectedly, Cheng Shan hadn't finished speaking.

Fang Yi readily agreed, "Okay, I'll help."

He naturally had his own plans. He hadn't been willing to help before because he was afraid of taking away Cheng Shan's business—that wouldn't be very ethical. Now that Cheng Shan said he was powerless and had even come to him for help, he could rightfully take over and even make Cheng Shan owe him a favor. Why wouldn't he agree?

Huh?

He agreed so easily?

Cheng Shan, Zhu Changqing, and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

They really hadn't expected it to be so easy.

They had thought they would have to use some persuasion.

Although they were a little confused, they quickly became excited.

Finally, they had the chance to witness the boundless power of Master Fang!
