Since Ye Lan planned to buy that piece of land, he naturally wanted to strive for the maximum benefit. The reason why Luo Xiao did not stop Ye Lan’s behavior was that he knew his master would never really bully Ye Lan, and must have planned it long ago.
In fact, it was exactly the case. When Mr. Huo learned about the trouble that Old Man Lin was having, he immediately calculated the feng shui of that piece of land. After finding out that he could actually use external objects to change the feng shui, he deliberately found an opportunity to appear before Old Man Lin in a coincidental way, pretending to be kind-hearted and helping him solve his problem.
As for whether it was truly kind-hearted, Mr. Huo said: You guess!
Because on the surface Old Man Lin was the director of the S City Land Management Bureau. In order to ensure the annual performance task, he was very happy to have someone come to purchase the land use rights. Of course, all the land available for purchase was extremely remote and desolate for the people of the current era.
Moreover, given the overall social development situation, there were very few people who truly came to buy land use rights in this era of “ten thousand yuan household”.
However, the performance requirements were there, so he had no choice. Besides, this haunted land was something he had to exchange for. Now that the matter was handled well, he really wanted to dispose of it!
As for Mr. Huo’s timely appearance, Old Man Lin still had a little suspicion in his heart. After all, the timing was too coincidental, right? And who doesn’t know that this Old Huo is the most protective guy among their group? The last time he exchanged land for his disciple, he already gained a big advantage. Could it be that he’s here for “revenge” this time?
Although he thought so, Old Man Lin still planned to listen to what he had to say first. If he could really help solve this problem, wouldn’t that be great?
Of course, Mr. Huo did not miss the emotion that flashed in the bottom of Old Man Lin’s eyes. He remained calm on the surface and just said, “Old Man Lin, how about I help you find a buyer for this piece of land?”
“What are the requirements?” Old Man Lin raised an eyebrow, suspiciously thinking that someone offering sudden help is always suspicious!
Mr. Huo smiled, “The requirements are actually very simple.”
“How simple?” Old Man Lin continued to look at him. He didn’t believe it would really be simple!
“First, you have to give an internal price.” After seeing him nod, Mr. Huo continued, “Also, appropriately subsidize a bit.”
“Just that?” Of course, Old Man Lin didn’t believe it. Sure enough, he heard Mr. Huo continue, “Also, let me take a look at one of your sect’s treasure, okay?”
He knew it, this last one was the key! Old Man Lin glared angrily at Mr. Huo. He had been coveting to see their sect’s treasure since more than ten years ago, but until now he still hadn’t given up!
However, Old Man Lin narrowed his eyes. He had only said he wanted to take a look, but how to specifically look at it was still up to him, right? Hehe!
“…Alright!” Old Man Lin quickly nodded his head, “But you also have to do what you said!”
“No problem!” Mr. Huo also smiled and nodded. Hmph, just let you trick my disciple last time, this time I won’t let you get away without shedding some blood! Also, darling, I’m going to come see you soon, wait for me~
Ye Lan looked at the land purchase contract he had just received and inwardly nodded with satisfaction: En, this is indeed a very good deal!
However, before starting the planning of this piece of land, the feng shui issue should be resolved first. Of course, this matter can be left to Grandpa Huo, and he can take this opportunity to get closer to his family’s Xiao Xiao. As for whether it will be as he wishes, hehe, who knows!
“Master, this piece of land?” Luo Xiao asked curiously.
Mr. Huo stroked his beard, “I’ve calculated it, this piece of land was originally a feng shui that attracts wealth, but because it was previously sucked away by little ghost, the remaining ones can’t even be stabilized. However, as long as we can establish a spirit-gathering array, we can still rebuild the original wealth-gathering force bit by bit. And it may even be better than the original feng shui.”
“So we just need to go and establish a spirit-gathering array?” Luo Xiao’s eyes lit up. But then he thought of something and his expression dimmed again, “But Master, to establish a spirit-gathering array, we need spirit stones. Judging by the scale we plan to build, the number of spirit stones required will not be small. But the problem is, where are we going to get so many spirit stones?” It must be known that he himself has only gotten a few pieces in the last years, and they were obtained by chance!
“So, this is the problem!” Mr. Huo nodded. “But we can change the way to set up the array.”
“En?” Luo Xiao looked puzzledly at Mr. Huo.
Mr. Huo dipped his finger in the tea cup and started drawing on the table: “Look, we only need to build a few spirit-gathering pillars in these positions, forming a four-pole balanced spirit-gathering array.”
“Do these so-called spirit-gathering pillars need to be made of any special materials?” Ye Lan asked after looking at it, “And what are the required diameter and height for the construction?”
Luo Xiao looked at the pattern his master had drawn on the table, feeling strangely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before!
“No special materials are needed, just regular construction materials will do,” Mr. Huo shook his head. “However, these four pillars need to be built at these points, and then connected to each other. Each pillar needs to have an area of 100 square meters, with a height of 99 meters.”
Luo Xiao suddenly slapped his forehead: Isn’t this the shape of the famous “Caldron Building” from his previous life? He had even mocked it back then, wondering which developer had such bizarre taste to build a building in this shape. Although it was called a caldron building, it was actually a large shopping mall. It was always bustling with people coming and going every day!
“Xiao Xiao, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly slapping your own head like that?” Ye Lan worriedly came forward and gently rubbed his head, “If you want to hit something, you should hit me instead. Why are you hurting yourself?”
“Ahem!” Mr. Huo frowned and looked away, saving himself from being upset. “Alright, alright, let’s get back to the main topic!”
Luo Xiao tugged at Ye Lan’s sleeve and then gently shook his head. Ye Lan immediately straightened up and turned to Mr. Huo before saying, “Grandpa Huo, looking at what you’ve drawn, I feel like it looks like something, but I can’t quite put my finger on it?”
“Like an incense burner,” Luo Xiao chimed in
“Yes, exactly, an incense burner!” Ye Lan nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, Mr. Huo looked back at his drawing. Indeed it did resemble the shape of a caldron. But thinking about it this way, it felt like the grade had suddenly dropped a lot in an instant!
“Ahem!” Mr. Huo cleared his throat and said solemnly, “What’s wrong with an incense burner? You need to know that the incense burner is a container for burning incense, just like the spirit-gathering array we are going to set up here, which has the power of gathering spiritual power!”
Well, Ye Lan said, and instantly felt that the burner was high-end now?
“Master, as far as I know, setting up such a spirit gathering formation requires the right timing.” Luo Xiao said after thinking for a moment.
“Mm, that’s right,” Mr. Huo nodded. “I’ve divined it. The nine o’clock in the morning in the ninth day of the ninth month next year is the luckiest moment in recent years. Starting the project at that time will have double the effect with half the effort.”
Ye Lan silently noted down this time in her heart, planning to tell He Ben about it later so he could be in charge of this matter. Now because their company’s scale is not very large, with only a few main employees, he and He Ben are the two bosses. Ye Lan is responsible for land acquisition and planning, while He Ben is in charge of the specific construction implementation, which is a good division of labor.
After dealing with this matter, Mr. Huo waved his hand and let them play by themselves, not wanting to bring himself any more trouble. Referring specifically to that shameless Ye surname little bastard!
At the same time that Ye Lan and Luo Xiao were relaxing, the Yu family far away in C Town was once again facing a family storm.
“You bastard, what are you coming back for?” Old Mrs. Yu stood at the door with a cane, looking at the family of three in front of her and speaking with direct malice, “What, aren’t you an animal yourself, and now you’ve brought this animal and shameless slut into my house? Don’t you dare show your face here!”
“Mom, how can you talk like this?” A young man said in a gloomy voice, “They are your own grandson and daughter-in-law, we are all family!”
“Ptui!” Old Mrs. Yu spat towards them, “I would rather my Yu family be cut off from descendants than let these kinds of people step a foot into this house!”
“You!” The young man frowned. Just as he was about to get angry, he was tightly grabbed by the sleeve by the woman beside him. He turned his head and looked at her tenderly, “Ke’er, it’s okay, I’ll handle this.”
She shook her head and said softly, “Husband, don’t get angry. She is after all your mother, my mother-in-law, and Jia’er’s grandmother. Let’s just talk it through calmly, don’t ruin the family harmony.”
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Yu was furious in her heart: Well, if it weren’t for your fox-like tricks, how could the mother-son relationship have reached this point? Now you dare to pretend to be kind-hearted? It’s just so disgusting!
Seeing the obvious suppressed look on his beloved wife’s face, and his precious son trembling, the man’s heart became increasingly unsettled.
Turning his head, he glared at Old Mrs. Yu and said word by word, “This family is not up to you old hag to decide! Don’t forget, this house is in the name of the two sons, you have nothing to do with it! If you don’t want to be driven out by me, you’d better rethink your situation!”
With that, the man picked up his luggage, hugged his wife, and pushed Old Mrs. Yu aside as he walked into the house with his son.
Old Mrs. Yu fell to the cold ground, her face filled with astonishment: When did her little son dare to put his hands on her? In the past, no matter how much she scolded and beat him, he never showed any resistance!
Then she stared at the woman who turned back and smugly smiled at her, gritting her teeth in hatred: Sure enough, it’s all that shameless little slut’s despicable scheme! Hmph, she wants to see whose tricks are more powerful from now on!
