Shui Miao arrived at Uncle Wang’s house first, accompanied by a large group of people.
Uncle Wang was in his fifties. Because his daughter was attending university in Zhonghai City, he and his wife rented a two-bedroom apartment. They sold vegetables at the market while taking care of their daughter. However, their daughter frequently fell ill, and despite numerous hospital visits and consultations with spiritual mediums, no solution was found. Today, having heard that Shui Miao was an expert in feng shui, they came with hope. Initially, Uncle Wang thought he would not get a chance to see Shui Miao due to the crowd, but to his surprise, Shui Miao approached him directly and came to his home first.
As soon as he entered, Shui Miao sensed something wrong with the house’s energy—it was heavily filled with yin energy.
Auntie Wang was cooking. Their daughter’s illness had drained most of their savings, and life was becoming increasingly difficult. Suddenly seeing her husband bring a large group of people home, she was stunned.
Shui Miao’s spiritual awareness detected a naked girl in the bedroom, possessed by two demonic spirits. He also sensed a missing corner in the house’s structure. A missing corner was like a broken face, allowing negative energy to seep in—this was a very ominous sign.
“Go open the door and dress your daughter,” Shui Miao ordered directly.
It wasn’t that Shui Miao was being rude, but he was upset that Auntie Wang, living in the same house, was unaware of her daughter’s possession.
Auntie Wang was puzzled. She had just come out of her daughter’s room, and the girl had been fully clothed and asleep. How could this young man suddenly say such a thing?
Uncle Wang, having seen Shui Miao’s abilities, quickly urged his wife to check the room.
However, when Auntie Wang tried to open the door, it wouldn’t budge.
Sighing, Shui Miao had no choice but to act himself. He grabbed a towel, tied it around his head to cover his eyes, and approached the door. Channeling his spiritual power, he dispelled the evil energy and opened it. Auntie Wang was shocked to see her daughter lying naked on the bed. She hurriedly asked Uncle Wang to block the crowd from looking in. Shui Miao approached the bed and grabbed the girl’s crown, pulling out the two spirits. He then walked out holding the spirits, ignited his ghostly flame, and burned them in front of everyone.
With his spiritual awareness, Shui Miao could sense everything without needing to look, which was why he could move freely even with his eyes covered.
There were also a few other evil spirits lurking around, watching the scene. Seeing Shui Miao destroy the spirits with ease, they fled in terror.
Shui Miao then told Uncle Wang to place a small piece of the sacred Taishan stone (Shigandang) in the missing corner to repair the structure. This was called the “Spirit Stone for House Protection” method. He also advised buying some traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen the girl’s body, ensuring she got plenty of sunlight and avoided drafts. In forty-nine days, her seven orifices would heal, and evil spirits would no longer possess her. He also recommended she wear protective talismans to prevent future harm.
After speaking, Shui Miao prepared to leave, but Uncle Wang quickly offered him five hundred yuan.
Shui Miao did not take the money. Seeing the old man’s wrinkled, calloused hands, he sighed and decided to go the extra mile. He used his spiritual power to seal the girl’s seven orifices, saving the family more money. Without taking a single penny, Shui Miao left Uncle Wang’s home and headed to the next house.
This next house was occupied by a mother with a leg disability and a young daughter around seven or eight years old. The girl had also been frequently ill, and they had sought Shui Miao’s help suspecting evil spirits.
Upon arriving at their metal-shack home, Shui Miao immediately saw the spirit of a middle-aged man sitting inside. He had a thick beard and looked very savage.
Shui Miao directly asked, “Who are you, and why are you disturbing this family?”
The man glanced at Shui Miao, seeing only a young man. He stood up, glaring, and shouted, “What’s it to you? I do as I please. If you’re hired by them, tell them to prepare a feast and burn some paper money for me. I’ll leave after I eat.”
The man was fierce and unreasonable.
Shui Miao calmly asked, “I suppose you must have been a beast in life. How can you harm such a poor family?”
Angry at the insult, the evil spirit lunged at Shui Miao.
But Shui Miao suddenly grabbed him, demanding, “Tell me, why are you harming them?”
“Fool! Can’t a guy need money!?” the evil spirit remained arrogant.
“Go to hell…”
Shui Miao cursed and unleashed his ghostly flame, burning the spirit. The evil spirit was strong, but the flames engulfed him for over ten seconds before his soul was finally destroyed.
The onlookers watched in silence as they saw a flaming figure struggling in Shui Miao’s hands.
After eliminating the evil spirit, Shui Miao used his spiritual power to seal the girl’s seven orifices and secretly healed the mother’s leg injury.
Once again, Shui Miao refused any payment.
Shui Miao and a large group of people first arrived at Uncle Wang’s house.
Uncle Wang, in his fifties, and his wife had rented a two-bedroom apartment to be near their daughter, who was studying at a university in Zhonghai City. They made a living by selling vegetables at the market while taking care of her. However, their daughter frequently fell ill, and despite numerous hospital visits, no cause could be identified. They had even sought help from spiritual mediums, but to no avail. Hearing that Shui Miao was a renowned feng shui master, they decided to try their luck. Initially, Uncle Wang thought he wouldn’t get a chance due to the crowd seeking Shui Miao’s help, but to his surprise, Shui Miao approached him and prioritized his home.
As soon as Shui Miao stepped inside, he sensed an abnormal energy in the house—a heavy, oppressive Yin atmosphere.
Aunt Wang was cooking. Their daughter’s illness had drained most of their savings, and their financial situation grew increasingly strained. When she saw her husband bring in a large crowd, Aunt Wang was stunned.
Using his spiritual senses, Shui Miao detected a naked girl in one of the rooms, her body possessed by two demonic spirits. He also sensed that a large section of the outer wall of the house was missing. A damaged wall is like a broken facade, allowing negative energy to seep in—a sign of great misfortune.
“Go open the door and dress your daughter,” Shui Miao instructed Aunt Wang directly.
His tone wasn’t meant to be disrespectful; he was frustrated that the woman was unaware of her daughter’s plight despite being at home.
Aunt Wang was taken aback. She had just left her daughter’s room, where the girl was properly dressed and fast asleep. Why would this young man say such a thing?
Having witnessed Shui Miao’s abilities earlier, Uncle Wang urgently urged his wife to check the room.
To her surprise, no matter how hard she tried, Aunt Wang couldn’t open the door.
Shui Miao sighed. There was no other choice—he had to intervene personally. He picked up a towel, wrapped it around his head to cover his eyes, and approached the door. Channeling his immortal energy, he dispersed the demonic aura sealing the door and pushed it open. Aunt Wang was horrified to see her daughter lying naked on the bed and quickly asked her husband to block the curious onlookers. Shui Miao walked to the bedside, placed his hand on the girl’s crown, and pulled twice. The girl immediately regained consciousness. Without paying her any further attention, Shui Miao grabbed the two demonic spirits, left the room, and incinerated their souls with Yin fire in front of everyone.
With his spiritual senses, Shui Miao could perceive everything without relying on sight, allowing him to move effortlessly even with his eyes covered.
A few malevolent entities lurking in the house, watching the spectacle, were terrified upon seeing Shui Miao effortlessly destroy the demonic spirits. They immediately fled.
Shui Miao then advised Uncle Wang to find a small Taishan Stone Tablet to seal the damaged corner of the wall—a method known as the “Spirit Stone House Protection Technique.” He also recommended purchasing traditional Chinese medicine to nourish their daughter’s health, advising them to let her get plenty of sunlight and avoid wind exposure. After forty-nine days, her seven orifices would recover, making her less susceptible to spiritual attachments. Additionally, wearing protective talismans would ensure long-term safety.
As Shui Miao prepared to leave, Uncle Wang hurriedly offered him five hundred yuan.
Shui Miao did not accept the money. Seeing Uncle Wang’s wrinkled, calloused hands, he sighed. Deciding to help them completely, he used his immortal energy to seal the girl’s seven orifices, saving the family further expenses.
Without accepting any payment, Shui Miao left Uncle Wang’s house and moved on to the next case.
The next household was a disabled mother living with her seven- or eight-year-old daughter. The child frequently fell ill, and conventional treatments had failed, leading the mother to seek Shui Miao’s help in determining if evil spirits were involved.
Upon arriving at their tin-shed home, Shui Miao immediately noticed the ghost of a middle-aged man with a thick, wild beard sitting inside.
“Who are you, and why are you harassing this family?” Shui Miao asked directly.
The ghost turned to look at Shui Miao, scoffed at his youth, and stood up defiantly. “None of your business! I’ll do whatever I want. If they sent you, tell them to prepare a feast and burn some paper money. Once I’ve eaten, I’ll leave.”
The ghost was aggressive and unreasonable.
Shui Miao patiently asked, “I suppose you were a beast in your previous life? How could you torment a family already suffering so much?”
Enraged by the insult, the vicious ghost lunged at Shui Miao.
In an instant, Shui Miao reached out and grabbed him. “Tell me, why are you harming them?”
“Fool! I need money, isn’t that reason enough?” the ghost retorted arrogantly.
“To hell with you…” Shui Miao cursed, summoning Yin fire to incinerate the ghost.
The ghost was powerful—it took over ten seconds for the flames to completely disperse its soul.
The onlookers watched in terrified silence as a figure engulfed in flames struggled in Shui Miao’s grasp.
After destroying the ghost, Shui Miao used his immortal energy to seal the little girl’s seven orifices and secretly healed the mother’s leg injury.
Once again, he accepted no payment.
As he continued his rounds, Shui Miao visited several other households, all plagued by malicious spirits. Without exception, he mercilessly destroyed any evil entities he encountered, burning their souls to ashes. His actions struck fear into the hearts of wandering spirits, deterring them from causing further harm.

Using his spiritual senses, Shui Miao prioritized cases based on urgency. After addressing the most critical situations, he turned to more common requests: inquiries about marriage, fortune-telling, business luck, home renovations, and even desires for promotions and wealth.
Marriage was something Shui Miao didn’t fully understand, but he could sense that few couples were genuinely in love. Most men were drawn to physical beauty or financial gain, while women were attracted to looks or wealth. Shui Miao refused to entertain such superficial requests.
Fortune-telling was not his expertise. He believed that purple aura could change one’s luck, coupled with optimism, hard work, and perseverance—ensuring a decent life. Those seeking comfort or hoping for effortless wealth received no attention from him.
For business and home renovation inquiries, Shui Miao provided guidance on overcoming drawbacks and applying the principles of the Five Elements with ease.
Lastly, a few government officials approached him seeking promotions and wealth. Shui Miao bluntly told them that those who focused solely on personal gain rather than serving the people would be reborn as livestock in their next lives. The more they embezzled and harmed others, the more times they would endure the suffering of being slaughtered. This, he explained, was the unerring law of karma. His words left the officials reflecting deeply on their lives and reevaluating their goals.

Finally, with his schedule easing, Shui Miao returned to the alleyway where he had previously been. A police car was parked there—the old man had died. Clearly, he had gone to the celestial realm to report to the Jade Void Sect’s overseer but had his soul destroyed as a result. The police had killed a large rat in the sewer and discovered a cache of valuable medicinal herbs.
Lei Zhenxing, his wrist bandaged, avoided Shui Miao’s gaze when they crossed paths. He was still resentful.
But Shui Miao wasn’t worried. Now that Lei Zhenxing’s Yin eye was open, he would eventually recognize the truth.
Shui Miao gathered Xiao Hong and the others to look for a new house.
Wei Sheng, the circus owner, had committed murder. Once he turned himself in, the circus would be shut down, and he would face execution. His wealth, if not used to help others, would be confiscated and end up in unknown hands. For the sake of the innocent, unfortunate girls and the struggling workers, Shui Miao decided to use Wei Sheng’s money to buy a house for everyone.
The feng shui of a home greatly impacts the fortunes of its residents. Good feng shui creates an auspicious energy field, fostering a peaceful and comfortable living environment. A positive environment boosts mood, which in turn enhances productivity and prosperity.
Thus, choosing the right house was especially important for Xiao Hong and the others.
Houses in the area were expensive. Knowing that Wei Sheng’s relatives would inherit his assets after his death, Shui Miao had the black snake demon possess Wei Sheng’s body to sell the villa at a discounted price of five million. He then withdrew all the cash from Wei Sheng’s bank accounts, totaling over sixteen million yuan, and took charge of the funds. The circus grounds were rented, so Shui Miao had the possessed Wei Sheng wait there for his return.
With the large sum of cash, Shui Miao and the others traveled over ten miles to a newly developed residential area. Shui Miao first surveyed the estate. The complex was built near water, with convenient transportation, though it was somewhat far from the bustling city center. The environment was superior, with excellent greenery, but this alone didn’t make it an ideal feng shui site.
A prime feng shui location depends on soil quality, water quality, and earth veins.
Soil quality is best determined by its color and texture. Good soil is dark brown, with a clear, fresh scent. If the soil remains consistent and fragrant even when dug deeper, it indicates fertility and strong life energy. Such land is ideal for growing crops, building homes, or even establishing graves.
In contrast, pale or dull yellow soil signifies barren land.
Shui Miao picked up a handful of soil by the riverbank and smelled it. It was fresh and pleasant, with moderate moisture and a soft texture—free from the chaotic energy of landfill waste. Through his spiritual senses, he confirmed that the area had been expanded from fertile farmland, making it clean and pollution-free. The soil was excellent.
Water represents wealth, vitality, and the source of life. Good water quality is crucial—clear, sweet, and invigorating. The water here was average, but in a large city, finding medium-quality water was already quite good.
Next, earth veins. Deep underground, earth veins carry flowing energy containing various spiritual and malevolent forces. Veins with weak negative energy and strong spiritual energy are considered good. The quality of this energy directly affects soil quality, and as energy rises through the soil, it becomes wind. Soil quality, in turn, influences water quality, as spiritual and malevolent energies can be carried away by flowing water. Water quality then cycles back to affect the earth veins. Among these three, earth veins form the foundation, soil is the main body, and water is life.
The perfect combination of these elements creates the best feng shui site.
The layout also matters. In flatlands, gentle water flow that retains wind and energy makes for a good site. In mountainous areas, determining a feng shui site is more complex but follows similar principles—retaining wind and energy, fertile soil, vibrant water, and earth veins with strong spiritual energy and weak negative energy.
Truly perfect feng shui sites are rare. Modern feng shui masters often categorize land into Yin, Yang, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth types. For instance, Yin land is suitable for burials, while Water land, rich in water energy, is ideal for educational institutions, as it fosters talent.
After assessing the earth veins with his spiritual senses, Shui Miao concluded that this was a reasonably good site and decided to purchase a house here.
The residential complex comprised dozens, even hundreds, of buildings. Such density inevitably alters wind patterns within the area, channeling spiritual energy to concentrated points. The building that best retains wind and energy will have the most favorable feng shui. A discerning observer can identify this from the sales office’s model layout, but lighting must also be taken into account. Natural light is essential for homes, yet excessive light creates light煞 (shà), or negative energy. Therefore, higher floors are not necessarily superior. Many favor mid-rise buildings for the view, but they overlook three critical factors: First, higher floors lack a connection to earth energy. The adage “gold third, silver fourth” underscores the third floor as ideal—it harmoniously connects both earth and Yang energy. Second, excessive exposure to light煞 due to insufficient shading is detrimental. Third, isolated high-rise buildings can adversely affect one’s mental state. While tall commercial buildings symbolize prominence, residential high-rises can induce dizziness and anxiety over time, causing residents to avoid balconies and live in constant unease. Prolonged exposure to such conditions inevitably leads to negative outcomes.
At the sales office, Shui Miao immediately took a liking to Building 16.
※※※
Shui Miao’s spiritual awareness allowed him to prioritize urgent cases. After handling them, he moved on to less critical matters like marriage consultations, fortune-telling, business openings, home renovations, and even requests for promotions and wealth.
Shui Miao wasn’t interested in marriage matters. He could sense that few were truly in love—most were driven by lust or greed. He refused to help such people.
As for fortune-telling, he wasn’t an expert, but he knew that positive energy (zi qi) could change one’s fortune when combined with optimism and hard work. He ignored those seeking comfort or hoping for easy riches.
For business openings and home renovations, he offered expert advice on feng shui and the five elements.
Finally, several government officials sought his help for promotions and wealth. Shui Miao told them bluntly: those who only sought power and money without serving the people would face karmic retribution. Even if they became high-ranking officials, they would be reborn as animals in their next life, suffering repeatedly. He emphasized that good and evil always received their due rewards. The officials left in shame, deeply shaken, and reconsidered their life goals.
※※※
Finally, things slowed down. Shui Miao returned to the alley and saw police cars. The old man was dead—evidently, after reporting to the Yu Xu Sect in the immortal realm, his soul had been destroyed. The police had shot a large rat in the sewer and found many valuable medicinal herbs.
Lei Zhen, his wrist bandaged, avoided Shui Miao’s gaze when they met again.
He still wasn’t convinced.
But Shui Miao wasn’t worried. Now that his Yin eye was open, Lei Zhen would eventually see the truth.
Shui Miao gathered Xiao Hong and the others to choose a house.
Wei Sheng, the circus owner, had committed murder. If he turned himself in, the circus would be shut down, and he would face execution. His fortune would be seized, likely ending up in unknown hands. To help the innocent girls and struggling workers, Shui Miao decided to use Wei Sheng’s money to buy a building and distribute it among them.
The feng shui of a home is closely linked to the residents’ fortune. Good feng shui creates a harmonious, peaceful environment, which in turn uplifts one’s mood, boosts energy, and enhances career and wealth.
Thus, choosing a good home was especially important for Xiao Hong and the others.
The nearby houses were expensive.
Considering Wei Sheng had relatives who would inherit his estate, Shui Miao had the Black Snake Demon possess Wei Sheng’s body and sell the villa for five million yuan at a loss. He withdrew all the cash from the bank, totaling over 16 million yuan, and handed it to Shui Miao. Since the circus land was rented, Shui Miao had the demon possess Wei Sheng again and wait at the circus for his return.
With the money, Shui Miao and the group traveled over ten miles to a newly developed residential area. He first examined the property. The community was built near water with convenient transportation, though somewhat distant from the city center. The environment was excellent with lush greenery, but that alone didn’t guarantee good feng shui.
A good feng shui location must consider soil quality, water quality, and the earth’s energy veins.
Soil quality can be judged by color and texture. Good soil is dark brown, with a clean scent. If it remains clean when dug deeper, it indicates fertile land—ideal for farming, burial, or construction.
Many areas have pale or yellowish soil, signs of barrenness.
Shui Miao scooped some riverbank soil and smelled it—it was fresh and moist, with a soft texture, unlike the foul odors of landfill areas. With his spiritual sense, he confirmed the entire area was developed from clean, fertile farmland.
Water is the source of wealth, vitality, and life.
Good water is clear, sweet, refreshing to smell, and pleasant to drink.
Shui Miao tasted the river water—it was average, but for a big city, medium quality was already quite good.
Next was the earth’s energy veins.
Deep underground, energy flows through these veins, carrying both spiritual and negative forces. Strong negative energy indicates a bad vein, while strong spiritual energy and weak negativity indicate a good one. The quality of this energy affects soil quality, which in turn affects water quality. The interaction between these three elements determines the overall feng shui.
Additionally, terrain matters. In flat areas, gentle water flow and wind protection make a good location.
In mountainous areas, determining good feng shui is more complex, but the principles remain similar: wind protection, fertile soil, vibrant water, and strong spiritual energy with weak negativity.
Thus, finding a true feng shui treasure is no easy task.
Modern feng shui masters often classify land into Yin, Yang, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth categories. For example, Yin land is suitable for burial, while Water land is ideal for schools, as water enhances intelligence.
Shui Miao used his spiritual sense to examine the energy veins. Finding this location quite good, he decided to buy a house here.
A residential community might have dozens or even hundreds of buildings. The construction of so many buildings alters the wind flow, concentrating the spiritual energy in specific areas. The building that retains this energy and wind is the one with the best feng shui. Observant buyers can identify this from the model display at the sales office. Light also plays a role—good lighting is essential, but too much can create light-related negative energy (light sha). Therefore, higher floors aren’t always better. Many prefer high-rise apartments, believing they offer a broader view, but they often overlook three key points: first, high floors disconnect from earth energy (diqui), which is essential—the best floors are around the third floor, where earth and yang energy are balanced. Second, unobstructed light can cause light sha. Third, isolated high-rise buildings can affect mental well-being. While commercial buildings may symbolize dominance, high residential floors can cause dizziness and eventually fear of stepping onto balconies, leading to anxiety and poor mental health.
Shui Miao went to the sales office and immediately set his sights on Building No. 16.
